Dreams Of Big, Evil-Looking Muskies
It's already started. A dream came wandering through my brain last night, and there I stood, knees braced against the stern, and a rod bowed almost double from the force of a big muskellunge. It was taking line, and then began circling back to stare at me with an evil look on his toothy shovel-shaped face.
The dream had some basis in fact, and it was three years ago when I first fought and lost a huge Lake St. Clair muskie that wouldn't come up off the bottom for the longest time.
Muskie dreams are just what they are: dreams of big nasty-looking, toothy fish. Most dreams have some basis in fact, and occasionally my muskellunge dreams contain combined elements from two or three different unforgettable fishing experiences.
What causes these dreams? Beats me, but I suspect it comes from thinking of fishing for them. Two years ago, I tipped an old buddy—Larry Ramsell of Hayward, Wisconsin—off to a Michigan hotspot I've known about and fished for 30 years. I couldn't go because I was recovering from one of many eye surgeries, so I gave him a clue.
The general locale was the St. Marys River in the eastern Upper Peninsula, which encompasses a large chunk of watery real estate. He and two others fished the first day and caught a 42-inch fish.
The next day one man landed and released a small fish, another one hooked and lost a large muskie, and then Ramsell nailed a 53 1/2-inch muskie that weighed approximately 45 pounds, and they missed my hotspot by 30 miles.
Ramsell is a great muskie angler, and perhaps the most savvy of all. He recognized good muskie water, and fished it hard and caught fish.
A photo of Ramsell and his trophy fish appears above, and I'll probably dream of it tonight. However, to illustrate how fickle muskie fishing can be, Ramsell returned the following year and never caught a fish. A cold front moved in, and he and I fished in high winds and rain for two days without having a strike.
The odd thing about muskie fishing is the reason we fish for them. It becomes a personal quest for a trophy fish. The above fish isn't Ramsell's first 40+-pounder, but very few fish of such honest sizes will tip the scales that far. He admits that the quest, the enduring search, for an even larger muskellunge is what drives him and many others to travel widely and to fish often for a larger fish.
Satisfying that quest does occur, but not for everyone. I've hooked three or four 40-pounds in many years of fishing for them. The trick is to fish all the known big-fish waters but never fail to try other lesser-known lakes. Nearby Long Lake undoubtedly holds 40-pound fish or even larger, but very few are landed. Most are hooked by accident by people fishing for other species, and invariably the fish breaks off and gets away.
Years ago, I boated a big muskie on Dale Hollow Reservoir, on the border of Kentucky and Tennessee. That fish weighed 36 1/2 pounds, and it is the biggest muskie I've landed. But this type of fishing is an itch that always needs scratching.
The only thing that relieves the itch is to go again. And always, lurking in the darkest corner of our brain, is the thought of our biggest muskellunge. A quest to top that fish, and not necessarily to keep it, is what keeps us pounding the water when others have quit.
The Lake St. Clair fish I hooked three years ago was never seen. Fish hooked while trolling, and this holds true with big fish, is the muskie will stay deep. It may roll on the surface toward the end of the fight, but they normally stay down until they get wore out.
My unseen fish hit a down-rod on the corner of the boat, with the lure in the prop wash, and it ripped off yards of line. We cleared other lines, and that fish and I tussled for more than 20 minutes. I'd move it up off bottom, and down it would go again, and take out more line. Back and forth we went until I could sense the fish tiring, and it rolled under the surface where it was impossible to see the length and girth, and then it rolled again, and the lure came free.
Then there was a muskellunge hooked while fishing after dark. The lake was Murphy Lake in Tuscola County. Me and another guy were casting huge plugs that sputtered along on the surface with gurgles and small splashes from our muskie-size Hula Poppers and Jitterbugs.
"Blub-blub-blub" would come the sound as we retreived the surface lures with an occasional pause. My partner got a big backlash when his lure was near the boat, and a big northern muskie chose that moment to strike the lure and it broke the line.
An hour later as we lamented the lost fish I had a massive jarring strike. I'd worked for an hour on those hooks, and they were razor sharp. That fish hit, and I pounded the hook home twice. That fish took out 30 yards of line, and I played her with a cool hand.
Even at that, the fish was a monster. One develops a sense for big fish after hooking a number of them, and I'd triggered that fish quick and hard. It was hooked well, and I played it under the light of a moon. Nearly 20 minutes into the fight, the fish ran toward the boat, rolled over, splashing us with water and we came undone.
I suspect the prolonged fight and the big hooks wore big holes in that fish's jaw, and when it rolled, the heavy lure fell out, and the giant muskie swam free.
I remember another big muskie that followed a Suick twice in three days on Wisconsin's Tomahawk Lake. It looked half as long as the 16-foot boat but I know it wasn't quite that big, but it was well over 50 inches long. Could it have hit that magical weight of 40 pounds?
Perhaps. My buddy from Wisconsin, who had seen and caught several large muskies, estimated the fish at 55 inches and at least 45 pounds, perhaps more. That 'lunge still appears in the my dreams.
Another time on Ontario's Lake of the Woods near Kenora, I had a savage strike at boat-side from an unseen muskie. The fish had missed the plug as I lifted it out for another cast.
The next thing I knew there was this enormous muskie camped three feet behind my Bobbie Bait. I kept the lure moving, plunged the rod into the water at the boat, and kept it moving. That fish followed it through several Figure-8 and J-stroke rod movements, and then it sank slowly out of sight without offering to hit the lure.
How big was it? I had caught a brief glimpse, and it was well over 55 inches. Was it one of those legendary 60-inch fish? Beats me, but I know I saw that fish in my dreams for two or three years. Writing about it now may bring the dream back to life again.
Years ago, Craig Lake in the Upper Peninsula was a hotspot for big muskies. It was a small lake, hard to reach at that time, and motors were not allowed. A good man on the oars could row around the lake easily in two hours.
A buddy was fishing a spinnerbait when a muskie struck at the fast-moving lure and missed. I pitched a Suick over there, and the fish bulged the water behind the lure but didn't hit. I applied rod-tip English to the lure, and it followed the lure all the way to the canoe. That fish probably weighed 40 pounds but we'll never know.
Later that day a buddy caught a muskie weighing 25 pounds at the other end of the lake. It would have been dwarfed by the earlier fish.
I've been privileged to have caught a great number of muskies in my life. I've missed some very big fish, hooked some truly huge fish, and lost all but the Dale Hollow muskie, and it remains my largest so far.
Will Lake St. Clair produce something big this year? I honestly don't know. It produces plenty of big fish, and several 40-pounders have been taken and several fish much larger have been seen. Luck, and being in the right spot at the right time, are what anglers need.
It is very difficult to crack that hallowed 40-pound mark, and although a few do it each year, it is not a common situation. Granted, on occasion a novice will catch a truly big fish by accident or good fortune, but for dedicated muskie hunters, nailing a 40-pounder is why we chase these grand game fish.
And, if we crack that mark, we'll go for a 45-pounder. It's an incurable addiction.

Federal Highway Deputy Administrator Richard Capka
I want to thank all the practitioners who invested their time and knowledge making site visits . . . and who are spending their limited time and travel resources to come here to share ideas and best practices.
Transportation moves the American economy. Our economy is on the move because President Bush's jobs and growth plan is working.
Because transportation is fundamental to the underlying strength of our economy, it is very high on the national policy agenda.
I know that transportation is the best investment we can make to bring prosperity -- new jobs -- to cities and states. The projects you are working on back home are vital to the economic health and quality of life in each of your communities.
Mega-projects and project management are at the top of my agenda at Federal Highways. Administrator Peters asked me to make them a key area of concentration as Deputy Administrator.
Approaching a mega-project or any large project for the first time is like the situation Sheriff Brody (played by actor Roy Scheider) finds himself in the movie "Jaws." The sheriff, like all those who have the responsibility for delivering a major project, has a tough mission. He must capture or kill the Great White Shark that is terrorizing his resort community.
The town depends on his skill and talent. Although he has yet to see the shark, he knows he faces a complex challenge.
Brody assembles a team of experts -- an experienced and rugged shark hunter and a marine scientist of international renown. Together, they load the boat with the best equipment, the best intentions, a whole lot of confidence, and high expectations. And then, they come face to face with the Great White for the first time.
Shocked and absolutely stunned at the size of the "mega" shark and the magnitude of the actual "mega task" (the shark tries to eat the boat) . . . Sheriff Brody reassesses the situation with the oft-quoted line, "We're going to need a bigger boat."
Learning that you underestimated the magnitude of the task after the boat has set sail is the wrong time to make such a discovery. Yet, that is often the case with our transportation mega-projects.
Mega projects are a different breed. They are not regular highway projects on a grander scale. Planning for a mega-project must be different if a highway agency expects to achieve success.
The Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) defines mega- projects as major infrastructure projects that cost more than $1 billion, or projects approaching $1 billion that attract a high level of public attention or political interest. Seventeen projects are on FHWA's active mega-projects list and the number is expected to grow to 20 during 2004.
In its 2001 report Major Management Challenges and Program Risks: Department of Transportation, the U.S. General Accounting Office (GAO) noted, "projects to improve or expand highways can cost hundreds of millions of dollars and pose significant management and logistical challenges." Those challenges led GAO to recommend that FHWA improve the management of large-dollar highway projects through more accurate cost estimates and closer tracking of project progress.
We adopted those recommendations.
Lessons learned from experiences on mega projects have shown that a hallmark of successful projects (of all sizes) is a comprehensive project management plan that serves as a roadmap for the long journey from start to finish. This roadmap is key to on time delivery, within budget, and with high marks from the traveling public.
Never forget, it is a public journey. Success requires an intense focus on maintaining public trust and confidence throughout the life of the project. In fact, public trust and confidence may be the most important measure of success for any major project.
The public focuses on the transportation community and draws conclusions, deserved or undeserved, about our competence based on their perception of project success. Public trust and confidence in the transportation sector as a whole often lies in the balance.
We have to use skills that are not our strong suit. We have to communicate our plans. We must keep the public informed about road closings, detours, timetables . . . we have to talk to the media. We're doers, not professional communicators, so this doesn't come naturally.
This course and the Project Management Handbook will definitely help us launch our ship -- our projects -- and come back to port successfully. Large projects emerge in different parts of the country and are managed by new teams without previous mega-project experience.
Learning from each other and studying state-of-the-practice materials can fill in gaps in our experience. Intense national scrutiny by the public, media, and government officials is understandable and inevitable. They are keeping an eye on their investment.
Billions of dollars and community mobility are at stake. Successful mega-projects keep our economy moving. That is the biggest reason to maintain the trust and confidence of the taxpayers, the ultimate owners of the nation's roadways. In the words of Abraham Lincoln, "With public sentiment, nothing can fail. Without it, nothing can succeed."
Thanks for using, improving and sharing best practices. Have a great conference!

Ice-in-Heaven is a delicious dessert that is easy to make. Dissolve starch well in cold water and dissolve rice-flour well in cold milk. Mix the two solutions and bring to slow boil over low heat. Regularly stir the mix until it thickens. Now add sugar and rosewater. Continue stirring the mix while it boils very slowly so that it does not settle.
When the mix becomes very thick, it is ready. Pour it into a deep rectangular dish and shake so that the surface is level. Let it cool down completely, then cut a grid into it the lines of which are parallel to the diagonals of the dish. Sprinkle the pistachios on top. Ice-in-Heaven is now ready to serve.

Chad Johnson has always been viewed as an odd ball for his on the field antics, but his past shenanigans don't compare to what he just did off the field this week.
According to Miami radio station 790 The Ticket, the receiver has legally changed his last name to "Ocho Cinco."
Johnson forewarned the public that a major surprise was coming during a recent interview with Chris McKendry on ESPN's SportsCenter & he couldn't have been more correct.
Ocho Cinco, The Wide Receiver Formerly known as Chad Johnson, has always wanted to wear his nickname on the back of his Jersey, but the National Football League wouldn't allow it without fining the Prima donna receiver.
Johnson started a buzz in Cincinnati during the off season by requesting a trade because he didn't feel enough love from Carson Palmer & The Bengals organization. Ocho Cinco, loves the lime light and will do anything he can to make sure he's a highlight on ESPN and in the public eye!
I can't help, but to ask myself if he's a genius who will be able to make millions marketing his own brand identity or has he gone completely mad like Mike Tyson did when he tattooed a tribal scribe on his face to look more intimidating in the ring?
Whatever it is, Ocho Cinco has sent shockwaves around the football world with his unpredictable behavior once again & I'm even happier with myself that I drafted him on my fantasy football team this 2008 season!

The Android version of YouTube has been updated to include a few new features. While Google has reportedly delayed a streaming music service until later this year when it is more polished, YouTube Mix is part of the new update. This feature automatically produces a list of music videos available for a particular artist. Most of the videos for well-known acts are coming from Vevo. You can share and like others' playlists. Your liked and personal playlists will show up in the left-hand guide drawer.
After updating the app, those using Android 4.2 or higher, should notice an improvement in the quality of the videos played over YouTube. A trio of changes have been made to the comments section, allowing users to reply to comments, and also delete comments that they have put up themselves. And now, YouTube users can determine if a comment was shared privately or publicly.
The update is available now, waiting for Android users in the Google Play Store.

Wrought iron is some of the most durable and decorative material you can use for home improvement installations. It is, by nature, customized and hand-crafted. Naturally, this makes it expensive, but it also makes it an excellent choice to create a distinctive and ornate touch to your home. The most common wrought iron installation is wrought iron fencing. Too often, though, the amount of required material makes this project too expensive for many homeowners, especially since decorative aluminum fencing has become widely available for your fencing installation. Other smaller projects can give your home the same austere feel to your home at a more manageable strain on your budget.
Wrought Iron Door
A wrought iron doors are one of the best ways to create the distinctiveness that wrought iron promises. A custom wrought iron door can actually be trademarked for you so you know it's one of a kind. The design is tailored made to enhance the pre-existing architectural style of your home. They can be minutely-detailed or crafted with broad curving strokes or a simpler, vertically-lined pattern. Many homeowners choose to install their wrought iron door for their front entryway to maximize its visibility, but wrought iron doors can be a good idea for anywhere in the exterior or interior of your home.
Wrought Iron Railings
Wrought iron railings are the perfect installation to take advantage of wrought iron's personality. Whether you want a railing for your deck, stairs, balcony, patio, or pool, a railing often needs to be customized for the dimensions of that area of the home. A balcony just isn't a balcony without a wrought iron railing. Your stairs are just like any other stairs without putting your own touch on it. Wrought iron railings also work for the interior or exterior of your home. Sturdy and elegant at the same time, wrought iron makes for the perfect accent for any number of living spaces and decorating styles.
Need to find a pro for your wrought iron project?Find Pros
Wrought Iron Chandelier
The wrought iron chandelier is great for the homeowner who likes the idea of a chandelier without the precious or dainty like of the crystal chandelier. It says, I know what elegance is without ramming it down your throats. Wrought iron chandeliers are also one of the few wrought iron installations, where choosing wrought iron is actually going to save you quite a bit of money. An aluminum fence is going to be significantly cheaper than wrought iron. On the other hand, a quality crystal chandelier is likely to run you several thousand dollars, where a comparable-sized wrought iron chandelier may only cost a couple hundred dollars.
Regardless of your situation, chances are somewhere in your home is a place waiting to be complimented with a wrought iron installation. It's a classic, durable, and elegant material that is sure to add value to your home for years and years to come.

Gary, SNMP is a dangerous protocol to have accessible on the public network unless you have some assurance that the traffic can't be sniffed. Your probably aware of its many vulnerabilities (cleartext community strings, many people never change their default community strings, UDP-based...) We offer a "secure SNMP" offering based on a firewallized (modified) version of SNMP Research's extensible agent architecture for our InterLock firewall. This agent supports SNMPv2* which is encrypted/ authenticated SNMP. The next problem is getting the management station to speak SNMPv2*. SNMP Research has an add-on module for OpenView to convert SNMPv1 and v2 to v2*. The SNMPv2* protocol was one of the secure SNMP proposals for SNMPv2 (so its not just some proprietary protocol). Unfortunately the battles over how to secure SNMP were too great for the IETF process, so SNMPv2 was left with no additional security. SNMPv3 looks more promising to have some security, but in the meantime this is something you can do to address your question until v3 stabilizes and products ship. SNMP is really a handy protocol particularly if it can be done securely. The InterLock has support for several MIBs including HR-MIB (processes, disk, filesystems...), MIB-II (tcp/ip, interface stats) and a WWW MIB which includes lots of neat WWW performance information as well as load. You probably also want to lock down where traps can originate, as OpenView could be DOSed by trap storms if your not careful. This could probably be limited if your servers are on a 3rd leg of your firewall and tight security policies are applied controlling the trap UDP packets.

MINNEAPOLIS (AP) -- A person with knowledge of the situation says coach Rick Adelman has returned to the Minnesota Timberwolves after spending the last three weeks with his ailing wife. The person spoke on condition of anonymity to The Associated Press because Adelman had yet to publicly address the situation. Adelman returned Monday morning before the team practiced. He is hoping to coach against the Los Angeles Clippers on Wednesday night if all is OK with his wife, Mary Kay. She was hospitalized with an undisclosed ailment. Adelman has missed the last 11 games. The first was Jan. 8, a home victory over the Atlanta Hawks. He returned for a brief meeting with the team Jan. 16. The Wolves have gone 2-9 under assistant Terry Porter.

Hives — also known as urticaria (ur-tih-KAR-e-uh) — is a skin reaction that causes itchy welts, which can range in size from small spots to large blotches several inches in diameter. Hives can be triggered by exposure to certain foods, medications or other substances.
Angioedema is a related type of swelling that affects deeper layers in your skin, often around your face and lips. In most cases, hives and angioedema are harmless and don't leave any lasting marks, even without treatment.
The most common treatment for hives and angioedema is antihistamine medication. Serious angioedema can be life-threatening if swelling causes your throat or tongue to block your airway.

The name "bottlenose" comes from this dolphin's elongated upper and lower jaws that form what is called the "rostrum."
A dolphin's skin is actually composed of three layers: the epidermis, dermis, and hypodermis (blubber layer). Its core temperature is kept warm by this layer of blubber. The skin contains microdermal ridges, which trap water molecules at the surface of the skin, allowing the dolphin to swim with less resistance, since a liquid moves more easily past another liquid than past a solid. What a wonderful provision by the dolphin's Creator.
CLASS: Mammalia (mammals)
ORDER: Cetacea (dolphins, porpoises, and whales)
FAMILY: Delphinidae (dolphins, killer whales, pilot whales, and relatives)
GENUS/SPECIES: Tursiops truncates (common bottlenose dolphin);
T. aduncus (Indo-Pacific bottlenose dolphin); other subspecies
Size: 6–13 ft (1.8–4 m)
Weight: 330–650 lbs (150–295 kg)

After dessert, people lounged on the couches for a while, then pulled on their clothes in the entryway.
Through this entryway, we came into a broad long room, really a series of light-filled archways.
There are two flags—one Filipino, the other Israeli—in their entryway.
He was a low-key headliner—though after the event, the entryway was mobbed with fans toting Rushdie novels.
The misanthrope drew one of the big matches down the plastered side of the entryway.
It needed no prophet to read the countenance of the dread apparition in the entryway.
Larry stood gripping me, then drew me forward and down the steps of the entryway.

Bon Jovi's Rockin' Night at the 2012 iHeartRadio Music Festival
Bringing their Jersey sound to Vegas, Bon Jovi performed at the 2012 iHeartRadio Music Festival on Friday (September 21).
When asked if the band will be hitting the town after their midday performance, Jon laughed, "That's why we went on early instead of closing."
The Jersey Boys shared billing at the festival with Green Day, who recently took a jab at the legendary rock band. In an interview with UK's Kerrang! Radio last week, frontman Billie Jo Armstrong was asked who were the best and worst bands they've shared the stage with. For the worst, Billie replied, "Oh boy, I have to go with Bon Jovi."
No specific reason was given for the choice, but the comment was perhaps made with poor timing. Just yesterday both bands performed at the iHeart Radio Music Fest.
It's hard to believe the long-enduring band would be singled out so negatively. Recently, frontman Jon Bon Jovi was featured on the cover of an issue of Forbes which focused on the philanthropy of the rich. More than 10,000 meals have been served through his foundation's Soul Kitchen in Red Bank, N.J., and he's worked closely with Sister Mary Scullion and Covenant House on a variety of projects in Philadelphia. Watch the video of an interview with Jon and Richie Sambora at the festival.

I got 350cc silicone implants put in 3 days ago, behind the muscle. I was a 34-A before, looking to become a 34-C. I came out of surgery and they are riding so high on my chest I look deformed! It honestly looks like a man's pecs. Should I get them removed?? Or will they lower? And how soon? I am a dancer, so the money I make (to support my children with) depends on how my body looks.
My Breast Implants Seem Too High. I Got 350cc Implants Put in 3 Days Ago and They Are Too High. Why? (photo)

Breast Implants Riding High 3 days Post Op
Thank you for your question and photos.
It is very normal for breast implants placed under the muscle to ride high for the first few months until the pectoralis muscle relaxes and the breast implants fall into the pocket created for them.
At this point in your recovery (3 days post op), it is too early to know what your final outcome will be. I suggest you keep your follow up appointments with your surgeon and allow him/her to get you through the recovery process.
Best Wishes.

3 days postop
Don't worry - you are only 3 days postop. What you are seeing is very likely postoperative swelling. It can take 2-6 weeks for that swelling to resolve. So followup with your PS. Best of luck.
High Riding Implants Right After Breast Augmentation
For most breast augmentation patients, it is perfectly normal that the implants will look too high particularly right after surgery. Swelling and the initial tightness of the once smaller breast mound make for considerable and unnatural upper pole fullness. The implants will initially go to where the tissues are not as tight. As the swelling subsides and the skin begins to relax, particularly in the lower pole, implant dropping or settling will occur. This is process may be encouraged through the use of banding in the first month after surgery, which is common practice for most plastic surgeons if needed. Rest assured that you have a ways to go in the recovery process and the final result has yet to be seen.

Breast Implants too high on chest
A common error that leads to an unnatural appearance after breast augmentation, even with implants of an ideal size, is inadequate lower pole dissection and/or inadequate release of the pectoralis major origin just above the inframammary fold. As a result the implants sit too high and appear excessively full in the upper poles (the area above the nipple-areola complex), while the lower poles - which should be the fullest area of the breast - are underfilled. Inadequate muscle release may also result in bizarre-appearing breast implant animation when the pec major muscle contracts. In some cases this may result in one or both of their implants jumping up literally to the level of a patient's collarbones - an alarmingly unnatural look, and one that is totally avoidable
A shaped form stable breast implant can give the patient the lowest risk of fold and ripples in the lower pole, the lowest risk of a visible transition between natural breast tissue and implant (sometime refereed to as a double bubble) and the lowest risk of breast implant malposition with the breasts bottoming out. I think there is a performance difference between form stable breast implants. Consult with plastic surgeon who have experience and expertise perfuming this particular procedure.
In many breast augmentation patients, the inframammary fold needs to be lowered in order to allow the implant to rest at a level that appears natural relative to the position of the nipple and areola. Ideally the implant should be centered directly behind the nipple-areola complex (NAC). In profile, the natural-appearing breast is not convex in the upper pole, and an excessively convex and overly full upper pole is a dead giveaway that a breast implant sits below the skin. In addition, inadequate release of the inferior origin of the pectoralis major will allow the muscle to hold the implant in too high a position, and may even cause the implant to displace upwards (as high as the collar bone in some patients) when the muscle contracts. Patients with this problem require reoperation to release the inferior origin of the pec major and/or the inframammary fold.
Likewise, if the inframammary fold is lowered too far, the augmented breast will appear 'bottomed out', with an excessively full lower pole, an empty upper pole, and a nipple/areola that appears to sit too high on the breast - another situation with a distinctly unnatural appearance, and one that requires surgical correction: repair of the inframammary fold(s).

We LOVE the TheatreCMS plugin
We have been using this plugin for almost a year now. It greatly reduced the time it took to develop our theatre's new WordPress-driven website. We are a $4.5M organization, over 60% of which comes from ticket sales, so it was very important to us to find an improved online event calendar system with the ability to deep link to events in our ticketing system. We have found the system so easy to use, from the creation of webpages for our productions, to adding individual events to the calendar. We highly recommend this plugin for any performing arts or event-driven organization.
Feel free to check out our site, driven by this plugin. I'm happy to answer questions about how we use it.

via Ryanair to East Midlands
|These flight times are correct at the time of publishing but may be subject to change without notice
Saturday Check in at your chosen airport for your flight to Naples. On arrival you will be met by our English–speaking guide and transferred to your hotel. You will have the rest of the afternoon and evening to explore your surroundings before dinner.
Sunday Breakfast and a welcome meeting with your Omega representative, and then a day at leisure.
Monday Today we set off early to embark on a full–day excursion by boat to the lovely island of Capri. For centuries Capri has lured generations of artists, writers and celebrities with its outstanding natural beauty and, more recently, its top–end designer boutiques and bustling café culture. A short funicular railway takes you from the harbour of Marina Grande to Capri town, and your visit includes a walking tour around its little streets and alleyways. You may wish to take a stroll among the balmy green Gardens of Augustus (admission €1pp), which offer good sea views, or perhaps take a boat trip around the island to see the Blue Grotto (€17pp). Later on we carry on to Anacapri, a little higher up in the mountains, where there is an optional visit to Villa San Michele, a house–museum offering the best views on the island (admission €7), or alternatively you could take the chairlift from Anacapri to the summit of Monte Solaro (€11 return). We return to Sorrento in time to enjoy dinner at the hotel.
Tuesday Breakfast and then we drive along the Amalfi coastline, said to be the most spectacular highway in Europe. The tour stops first just above Positano, which boasts picturesque white villas perched dramatically on the steep hillside. Then on to Amalfi; once a powerful and prosperous Maritime Republic, and now a thriving holiday resort. The cluster of white tightly packed houses rising up the hillside is dominated by the mosaic–clad St Andrew's Cathedral, a fabulous confection of Romanesque, Norman–Gothic, Byzantine and Arab styles. Admission is €3 and you are asked to cover up (shoulders and knees). From Amalfi we visit Ravello which nestles 1100 feet above the sea and is famous for its terraced gardens and gorgeous buildings. Chief of these is the Villa Rufolo (admission €5), part museum, part concert and exhibition venue, part spectacular beauty spot and known as 'a miniature Alhambra'. If you wish you can also visit the museum in Ravello's cathedral (admission €3pp).
Wednesday After breakfast the coach will arrive to take you on today's half–day excursion to Pompeii, a place which scarcely needs any introduction. First excavated in 1748, the site of Pompeii stands on a great plateau within plain view of Mount Vesuvius, its Nemesis, in the distance. Here you have the opportunity to see actual Roman houses and streets in situ, with frescoes still visible on the walls of some of the houses, and graffiti in the cart–rutted streets. The scale of Pompeii is surprising, and there's a lot to see, so it's not a bad idea to take a guide–book, plus a sunhat and some water as there isn't much cover and it can get very hot. After we return, the rest of the day is at leisure.
Thursday & Friday Two free days to simply relax or explore the Sorrento area at your own pace.
Saturday A final breakfast, then you must reluctantly say 'arrivederci' to the Bay of Naples and transfer to the airport at the appropriate time for your flight home.
Please note that all admission/ticket prices are based on 2016 information and may change in 2017.
Here are some example hotels or similar ones that we use for this break, actual availability may change with the travel date you choose.
Some hotels have an additional supplement per person, as shown below. Supplements are stated for the break (not per night)
|Hotel Zi Teresa, Sorrento
|**** Lush garden with swimming pool, decking, sunbeds and snack bar, and fine views of the Gulf of Naples and Vesuvius.
|Hotel Cesare Augusto, Sorrento
|5 minutes from the central square, with free Wi-Fi and a rooftop pool with solarium...
Additional supplement from £50.00 per person.
|Hotel Caravel, Sant'Agnello
|**** Close to the centre of Sorrento and the Marinella beach...
Additional supplement from £70.00 per person.

text: Washington, DC — With America still less safe than it should be five years after 9/11, Senate Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs Committee Chairman Joe Lieberman, Senator Debbie Stabenow, former 9/11 Commissioner Richard Ben-Veniste, Wayne County Sheriff Warren Evans, International Association of Firefighters President Harold Schaitberger, and American Federation of Government Employees President John Gage today joined to call for a change. While President Bush and previous Congresses have chosen to delay solutions, the leaders today signaled their intent to push for the implementation of the recommendations of the bipartisan 9/11 Commission as soon as possible. Though more than five years have passed since the terrorist attacks, two years since the 9/11 Commission released its landmark report, and over a year since the Bush Administration received D's and F's from the Commission for its implementation of the necessary changes, roughly half of the Commission's recommendations still remain unaddressed or unfinished. For example, mass transit security, equipment and technology interoperability for first responders, border security, airline security, and more are still woefully lacking. "Every day that we don't act is another day in which we are not as secure here at home as we should be," said Senator Lieberman. "This bill would create an all-hazards strategy to strengthen our homeland security against the threat of terrorist attack but also to be able to prepare for and recover from natural disasters. We've studied. We've reflected. And now, with a real sense of urgency, it is time to act to build a safer and more secure nation for the generations to come." "Because of the communications failures on 9-11, too many police and firefighters ran into the Twin Towers when they should have been running out," Senator Stabenow said. "Over five years after these attacks it is shameful we have made so little progress to solve this problem. The 9-11 Commission has made clear what needs to be done, and I'm proud that this legislation will help to secure the updated, compatible equipment America's first responders need to keep our communities safe and respond to threats." "The recommendations we made in July 2004 were designed to improve our homeland security and make all of us safer," said 9/11 Commissioner Richard Ben-Veniste. "For too long, action has taken a back seat to rhetoric in Congress. I am pleased to see this Congress taking meaningful action." "Local police officers and fire fighters are every community's first responders," said Wayne County Sheriff Warren Evans. "In a major border community such as Detroit, with its many critical assets, various agencies need to be able to communicate with each other in an emergency. For that to happen, we need the federal government as an active partner and we need help paying for the equipment we need. This bill is long overdue." With the American people still not as safe as they should be, change is needed now. Democrats will complete implementation of the 9/11 Commission's recommendations to ensure rail, airline, and border security; block terrorists from traveling freely into the country; improving intelligence sharing at all levels of state, local, and federal law enforcement; and give first responders the tools they need to keep us safe. The American people demanded a new direction, and Democrats are working to give them the security they deserve.

Wheaton, IL – Medical rehabilitation made headlines in early 2007 as the nation watched Journalist Bob Woodruff's first interview and his ongoing recovery after he was severely injured 13 months earlier by a roadside bomb in Iraq. More recently, the country caught a glimpse of U.S. Representative Gabrielle Giffords' continued rehabilitation after a gunshot last January left her with a traumatic brain injury. Their remarkable journeys provide brief, yet insightful views of the importance of physical rehabilitation in the recovery from injury, illness, or disability. Unfortunately, this type of care – the care that you or a loved one requires after a stroke, spinal cord injury, or brain injury – may not be accessible in the near future.
As part of the government's plan to reduce the federal deficit, Congress is proposing disproportionate cuts to inpatient rehabilitation facilities which would greatly reduce access to quality and medically necessary care and threaten the viability of rehabilitation hospitals and units in this country. These cuts include reducing Medicare and Medicaid reimbursement to inpatient rehabilitation providers and further restricting the types of patients who may receive inpatient rehabilitation care. To place these cuts in context, care in inpatient rehabilitation hospitals and units (IRH/U) currently accounts for approximately 1.3% of total Medicare expenditures. In the recent weeks Congress has considered further cuts to inpatient rehabilitation accounting for greater than 11% of the total proposed Medicare reductions.
Physical rehabilitation is comprised of specialized care including physical, occupational, and speech therapy that a patient receives after an acute hospital stay. Rehabilitation provides patients with brain injuries, spinal cord injuries, strokes, neuromuscular disorders, and joint replacements, opportunities to restore function and improve their quality of life. Rehabilitation maximizes patient health, reduces medical complications and subsequent hospital visits and in turn, reduces overall healthcare costs.
"As communities grow, baby boomers age, and veterans return home, the demand for all levels of rehabilitation will increase," explains Kathleen Yosko, President and CEO of Marianjoy Rehabilitation Hospital in Wheaton, Illinois. "Yet these cuts will lead to a greater number of discharges home or to nursing homes when patients would greatly benefit from rehabilitation. This will undoubtedly lead to increased healthcare costs and families will suffer the consequences."
Since her husband's injury, Lee Woodruff has championed rehabilitation and its importance in making individuals and families whole again. Lee is a renowned writer and best-selling author as she wrote about her and her family's experience in Bob's rehabilitation journey.
Lee recently posted an article on her blog – www.leewoodruff.com – in support of rehabilitation providers in the fight against the proposed cuts. She emphasizes that these cuts will lead to higher costs, reduced quality of life for people with disabilities, and added stress for families and caregivers. "As evident in Lee's experience, rehabilitation plays a pivotal role in returning individuals to productive and involved members of the community," affirms Yosko. "We are thankful to Bob and Lee Woodruff in their continued support of rehabilitation."
Yosko recently traveled to Washington with other rehabilitation executives to educate legislators on the importance of rehabilitation, but assures that involvement from families and communities can help influence lawmakers. "Marianjoy and other rehabilitation hospitals need help from our communities and families who may need rehabilitation in the future. Ask Members of Congress to reject these proposals and look for other avenues for savings."
# # #
Marianjoy Rehabilitation Hospital is a nonprofit teaching hospital in Wheaton, Illinois, dedicated to the delivery of physical medicine and rehabilitation programs including stroke, neuromuscular, orthopedic, brain injury, spinal cord injury, and pediatrics. Marianjoy's $60 million, 120 private room replacement hospital is a state-of-the-art facility designed to enhance the naturally holistic approach to rehabilitation. Founded in 1972, Marianjoy Rehabilitation Hospital maintains an extensive network of inpatient, subacute, and outpatient sites and physician clinics throughout the Chicago area. Marianjoy is a member of Wheaton Franciscan Healthcare.

Eloi Scarves Get Psychedelic
Eloi Scarves Get Psychedelic
Artist Paige Russell turns a simple silk scarf into a technicolor statement accessory by using construction paper
Instead of being born from whimsical illustrations or landscape photography, each of Paige Russell's scarf designs from her brand Eloi started out as a collage of construction paper cutouts. On silk, the stiff, two-dimensional artworks become fluid, breathing life into Russell's fictional technicolor forms and creating an alluring tension.
The Detroit-born, Austin-based graphic designer founded Eloi scarves as a creative way of showcasing her paper cutouts. The name comes from the sci-fi novel "The Time Machine" by HG Wells (she's a major fan of the 1960 film adaptation); the Eloi people were a beautiful, post-human race that were herded around as cattle. There's definitely a sci-fi element to her works, which merge strangeness and beauty.
Taking inspiration from her mother, who collected Hermès scarves and framed them on the walls, Russell says, "I always [wore scarves] as little halter tops. I grew up going to estate sales, and I really liked collecting the patterns," she says. "So I thought [turning them into scarves] was a better way of reproducing my stuff."
Russell doesn't do any sketching, and immediately starts with scissors and construction paper (which she's always on the hunt for to find different shades, from NYC's premium Paper Presentation to "shitty craft stores") which become as much of a therapeutic as it is creative process—sometimes even covering the same canvas 10 or 15 times over until it's perfect. "I kind of noticed a pattern of my neuroses and my anxiety having a lot to do with the things I was creating," says Russell. "Before I even started the scarves, I started doing a series of marble patterns; I made of ton of different ones and it really helps my anxiety to do all the cutting and pasting. It gets into this crazy repetitive rhythm. When I started moving into more representational subject matter, it ended up being based around weird things I was thinking about—super mundane things."
One great example is Eloi's trippy Deep Web design. "My ex-boyfriend taught me what the 'Deep Web' was; basically, we only access 5% of the internet—and I'm definitely a conspiracy theorist—so I freaked out," she says. "It was all I could think about and we were trying to get on the Deep Web." But the surprising part is how well the ominous mood of the scarf transforms into a pretty upscale accessory when tied around the head, as her instructional videos show. It's just one of the many sides of each versatile scarf.
"A lot of them are actually based off of songs," Russell says of her designs, jokingly comparing it to synesthesia. "A lot of them are exercises with my mind; turning sounds into imagery—kind of like what Kandinsky did." Her "Velvet Morning" piece is based on the Lee Hazlewood and Nancy Sinatra duet "Some Velvet Morning," a dreamy haze of a song that matches Eloi's psychedelic aesthetic. Russell's newest design for Eloi, "In a Silent Way," is similarly inspired by the music of Miles Davis, and releases today 16 March 2015.
While scarves have become a more popular medium as of late for independent designers and artists to showcase their work, Russell's pieces stick out due to their accessible price. She says, "Scarves in general are either super cheap or $500; so I wanted to find a niche where I could slip in and be in between where it's not insane to invest in, but you're paying for an art print." Whether framed around your shoulders or on the wall, the scarves spark conversations as well as some introspective meditation—like good artwork should.
Eloi scarves are available online for $120.

Travellers who pitched their caravans on a recreation ground have left after a week of controversy, which included fireworks being thrown at them.
The five caravans arrived on the Fairfield in Kingston after driving in through a gap in fencing on Monday, June 18 at about 2.45pm.
The travellers claimed they had nowhere else to go but leader of Kingston Council, Councillor Derek Osbourne, said the situation was "totally unacceptable".
Kingston County Court ruled the group were staying illegally on the land and granted an outright possession order, which meant they had to leave by 4pm today or face eviction.
The group, who included a pregnant woman and children with measles, were seen leaving the site at about 12.40pm today.
One traveller, who only wanted to be known as Mike, said during their stay people had driven past shouting abuse at them and police attended after fireworks were thrown at them at 1.50am on June 23.
Counc Osbourne said: "We would like to thank residents and other users of the Fairfield for their patience whilst Kingston Council secured the necessary court authority to regain the Fairfield for the benefit of residents.
"We look forward to residents and the public being able to enjoy the Fairfield once again as soon as possible."

iPhone 4S & iPad Vs Nintendo 3DS: Game Showdown
There are plenty of great games on both iPhone, iPad and Nintendo DS, but there has been a recent trend of developers bringing DS titles over to iTunes.
And while games like Super Mario Bros. might not exist on Apple's format, there are games that come close to matching the brilliance of Nintendo's series on iPhone.
So we've decided to run down these games side by side to see if you really can get the Nintendo DS experience on iPhone 4S and iPad.
1. Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney
iPhone price – £2.99/$4.99
Nintendo DS price – £24.99 / $38.99
Capcom's Ace Attorney series comprises of four main DS games that put players in the sharp blue suit of the rookie 'Objection!' shouting defence attorney Phoenix Wright.
This, the first in the series, introduces players to the character and basics of play over the course of five different cases. Using a simple touch-screen interface, you must search for clues, study evidence and question people to build up a solid defence for your client come trial time, and then find holes and inconsistencies in witness testimonies to win the case.
It's an engaging and unique slant on the point-and-click adventure genre, and brilliantly suited to iOS. Fans of murder mysteries and adventure games will simply love it. Case closed.
Apps Magazine rating – 5/5
2. League Of Evil
iPhone price – £0.69/$0.99
League of Evil isn't out on Nintendo DS, but is best comparable to the Mega Man series.
Some iOS games feel like perfect gaming fodder for DS but aren't available on the system. League Of Evil is one such example. We urge fans of the challenging Mega Man series to pick up this addictive action platformer, which is crammed with an impressive amount of game for a really low price.
Sharing gameplay similarities with Super Meat Boy, you control a bionic man and must negotiate a huge series of danger loaded levels to reach and kill an evil scientist hiding somewhere on each.
Bonus kudos is awarded for quick completion and retrieval of a briefcase, and the simple d-pad and two button controls make it instantly accessible. What it lacks in visuals it makes up for in simple, addictive and plentiful gameplay.
Apps Magazine rating 4/5
Cooking Mama
iPhone price – £4.99/$6.99
Nintendo DS price – £17.00/£26.00
The Cooking Mama series started life on the DS and was designed to get kids interested in cooking through the system's touch-screen controls. As such, Apple's devices feel well-matched to handle its tactile gameplay, even if the game itself isn't actually that great.
The gameplay basically consists of you being asked to complete a series of cooking tasks – such as chopping onions by tapping the screen, or frying onions by shaking the iPhone – to cook a virtual meal.
There's little longevity here and the fact that you have to pay for new recipes is a bit cheeky considering the price. Overpriced and poor value – also, as this game proves, the joy of cooking is the eating.
Apps Magazine rating – 2/5
Touch Pets Dogs 2
iPhone price – Free
Touch Pets Dogs 2 isn't out on Nintendo DS, but is best compared Nintendogs.
The multi-award winning Nintendogs offered DS owners the chance to care for their very own virtual pooch, without the hassle of vet bills, last minute trips to the pet shop, or dog walks in the rain.
Touch Pets Dogs 2 is essentially a free clone. Allowing you to adopt and nurture your very own puppy, contended dogs spill coins and bones, and these can be used to purchase them food, clothes and toys.
Alternatively you can obtain items instantly through in-app purchasing. The only drawback is that it's online-only, meaning unless you're playing via iPhone you won't be able to tend to your pet while you're out and about. A decent Nintendogs-alike and it's free. The only drawback is that it's online-only.
Apps Magazine rating – 3/5
Shantae: Risky's Revenge
iPhone price – £1.99/$2.99
Nintendo DSi Ware price – £7.99/$11.99
Releasing a string of solid action/adventure games, and renowned for its highly detailed 2D sprite work and animation, WayForward Technologies has become pretty renowned in the DS community.
Risky's Revenge may be a sequel from the studio but don't let that dissuade you from a purchase, particularly if you're a fan of Metroidvania style games, as you'll delight playing through this charming adventure starring a magical shape shifting half-genie on the hunt for a stolen lamp.
With stunning 2D visuals, and a great soundtrack to boot, this is a solid conversion of the popular and acclaimed DSiWare original. A great port of one of the best platform/adventure games on the DS
Apps Magazine rating – 4/5
iPhone price £1.30/$3.99
Cordy isn't on Nintendo DS but is comparable to the Super Mario Bros. series.
Cordy is another iOS we could easily imagine appearing on the DS…Well the 3DS. It's a stunning looking 3D platformer with simple puzzle elements (generally nothing too original, often a bit of block pulling or switch hitting).
With a clear Little Big Planet vibe to its aesthetics, you control an anthropomorphic robot/television that can use his power cord to swing around levels, and, through collecting energy pick-ups, power up and open doors.
There's nothing here you won't have seen in past platform games, but the high level of quality and presentation throughout Cordy will instantly draw you to this charming game. Simply one of the most stunning looking platformers on iOS
Apps Magazine rating – 4/5
Tetris for iPad
iPhone – £2.99/$4.99
Nintendo DS – £12.99/£19.99
Thanks to Nintendo's all-conquering Game Boy no gaming portable since has felt whole without a version of Tetris. Well thankfully a decent official version of the block stacking game is available for iOS.
While the inaccuracy and wooliness of the touch-screen controls are an issue, the virtual d-pad alternative thankfully proves to be a far more solid and accurate option.
With a couple of play modes to add a bit of variety to proceedings, such one which magically alters the blocks – turning them into poppable bubble wrap, or single blocks to handily plug small holes, this is a solid enough version. A timeless classic but ditch the touch-screen controls and play the traditional way.
Apps Magazine rating – 3/5
Street Fighter IV Volt
iPad price £4.99/$7.99
Nintendo 3DS price – £29.99
Street Fighter IV 3D was one of the big anticipated launch games for the Nintendo 3DS. Well for a fraction of the price you can snag a solid handheld version of Capcom's smash brawler for iOS.
Ok so the controls, Ultras and Supers have been simplified, the buttons and virtual d-pad take up almost half the screen, and don't be surprised to find the occasional bit of lag crop up during online play, which also happens to be Volt's big thing.
But there's simply no denying this is an impressive feat of home console squeezing and the best and most technically polished brawler on Apple's format. It's not flawless but a good enough and far cheaper alternative to the 3DS version.
Apps Magazine rating – 4/5
Super Monkey Ball 2: Sakura Edition for iPad
iPad price – £2.99/$4.99
Nintendo 3DS price – £19.99
For those unfamiliar with the barmy concept behind Super Monkey Ball, it basically sticks cute cartoon monkeys into see-through balls and then asks players to steer them through a bumpy rollercoaster course against the clock.
It's basically Marble Madness meets Planet Of The Apes. While the forced tilt-controls make negotiating sharp bends and snaking tracks a bit tricky, with over 100 levels there is plenty of game here.
Throw in a nice selection of mini-games, including Monkey Golf and the addictive Monkey Target, that work well to offer a welcome dollop of variety to all the monkey rolling action. Controls could be a bit tighter, but there's plenty of game here for the money
Apps Magazine rating – 3/5
ArtStudio – draw, paint and edit photo
iPhone price – £1.99/$2.99
ArtStudio isn't on DS but Nintendo's Art Academy is a great alternative
In addition to games, the DS's touch-screen controls have seen it offer a host of lifestyle software, everything from cooking tutors to art and design programs. Well if you're looking for a cheap app to allow you to hone and flex your artist and design skills then ArtStudio is perfect for that.
Solid, clean and simple to use, thanks to its step-by-step art lessons, and an interface that will be comfortable to anyone out there familiar with using Photoshop and Illustrator, you'll be creating simple works of art and altering your pictures and photographs in no time at all. A must get for budding artists and designers wanting to create on the fly.
Apps Magazine rating – 4/5
Winner – Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney
Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney on iPhone and iPad is a pixel perfect port of the Nintendo DS version, and given that the DS edition is occasionally hard to find, some retaillers will hike up the price due to its rarity.
We say skip all that, download the full thing from iTunes at just £2.99 and enjoy the puzzles, investigation and humour on offer. Above all, the iPhone and iPad version of Phoenix Wright proves that great gaming can be enjoyed for a decent price.

If you build good schools, they will come
Whether it's bidding on the Olympic Games, implementing efficient high-speed transit systems or gunning for an NFL team – achieving 'world class' status has become a common goal for many big cities, argues Gene Marks in this Huffington Post article.
"So many cities in America want to become 'world class.' But that's not what small businesses need from their cities," he writes.
Obsessing with the global stage can be problematic, especially if the aim is to bolster the city's small business community in the long term. What cities should really focus on are schools, he argues.
"If you want to turn any city into a great city to live and do business, then all you have to do is focus on one area: Education."
Yes, it all boils down to the quality of classroom. Everyone wants to send their kids to the best schools possible, he says, because "educated people succeed more in life than non-educated people."
Like bees to honey, a 'world class' school system can entice more people to move into an area; big companies will be attracted to the area because employees could send their kids to a great school; and small businesses, so his argument goes, would pop up as a result of the growing population. Real estate prices would go up, construction would increase, and so on.
Small business owners might also reap the benefit of a more skilled workforce out of high school, and the city would get more higher-qualified professionals. So at the end of the day, it's not necessarily great museums or restaurants or symphonies or tourists that businesses really need. It's good schools.
Vancouver Sun reporter audits CFIB's Red Tape Digital Diaries
Last week, writer David Baines accused the Canadian Federation of Independent Business of unfairly impugning the Canadian Revenue Agency in its 'Red Tape Digital Diaries' series.
"CFIB regularly trots out surveys that purport to show that CRA's level of service and customer satisfaction is declining," he writes, because the CRA is an easy target. After all, no one likes paying taxes, there are millions of taxpayers and bound to be complaints, and the CRA doesn't fight back.
The CFIB claimed the diaries were profiles of small business owners who have been saddled with red tape, but following an audit, Mr. Baines discovered that not only had many of the issues been resolved years ago, some stories were inconsistent.
This week, Mr. Baines followed up, saying that he had received a number of reader comments on the matter. Click here to read them.

I searched in the forum to find an answer for my weird question and didn't found any.
What happens when an author die (I mean for real) with his account? Grant Envato access to his items/account for author's family / relatives? Because his work will keep generate revenue further.
I know my question sounds very strange. But I'm just curious.
Wish all the best in the world for everyone and long life

What happens when an author die
This is the only point that SUPPORT becomes not mandatory.
The person who's account it is should leave details with next-of-kin – add your passwords etc to your will or leave details with your attorney etc It's really nothing to do with Envato, it's a personal issue you should plan for.
Bedros said

What happens when an author die
It's been asked/discussed before but I don't know the thread title. It's not much different from any other asset. If you're running a business you have documentation or other information that would become available to the other officers in the company and they would take over managing the account. Your assets are handled the same as any other. If you're a one man show, you should have some type of documentation that get's passed on to the next of kin. I don't think this is any different from any other online business when someone dies and the access to their accounts is inherited.
The simple solution is to make sure you have something like a safety deposit box with login and account information that would be given to the person who inherits your estate. All my wife needs is my email login and she can get any password resets needed if there are logins she doesn't know. I'm not so sure it's Envato's responsibility. There is probably a way to have a notarized power of attorney form that Envato would recognize as a legal transfer of account ownership if there was no other way.
I have already written a paper with instructions, website(s) info and login info. You must be prepared for anything. Everyone should make this a top priority.
it seems to be a strange question though it's an important question as well as we have the right to talk about surviving dependants' pension, inheritance. This all belongs to someone died.
I know that there's been a thread about exactly this matter. Couldn't find back, perhaps someone will remember and post it.
You should deposit your account data for your partner, children… whoever's got the right in case of shit happens. They should report it to envato and I'm sure everything will find it's way.
May be support can answer to this question what we should do to keep further incoming saved for bereaved.
The themeforest and videohive guys might have it a bit harder then us audiojungle authors as they have to provide much more support to customers.

PMP loses $24m on back of asset writedownsColin Kruger
Published: February 28 2013 - 3:00AM
THE printing and distribution business PMP has plunged to a $24 million loss for the six months to December 31 after the bottom line was hit by $41 million worth of restructuring costs and asset write-downs.
The company, however, has maintained its earnings guidance for the full year.
The chief executive, Peter George, said all of PMP's businesses in Australia and New Zealand reported lower printing volumes and revenue.
The company said earnings before interest and tax for the December half were down 37 per cent to $14.6 million on lower sales in a competitive market.
''In the second half of the year, we expect to see a continuation of difficult market conditions as a result of overcapacity in the industry, especially in heatset printing,'' Mr George said.
The company is implementing a transformation plan to cut costs and pay down debt amid declining demand for the print products it provides customers such as Woolworths, Foxtel, and Telstra's directory business, Sensis.
PMP still expected to report earnings before interest and tax (and significant items) of between $31 million and $34 million for the full year and said its Australian business had secured most of its main print customers for the next few years.
Its shares rose 1.5¢ to 21.5¢.
