Marie Antoinette - The Soundtrack
From the classical "Concerto in G" to the electronic sounds of New Order's "Ceremony" to the hard rocking "I Want Candy" by Bow Wow Wow, this soundtrack has a little bit of everything. Somehow the diverse elements sync together to become one cohesive whole . . . and a fabulous soundtrack.
It's their first studio album and after 4 more that are mostly spectacular, Castaways and Cutouts remains my favorite. To me it's their purest "indie rock sound." You know, back when indie rock use to actually be indie rock.Added 9 Years Ago from Amazon.com

SMWC ranked 7th in the nation for Facebook engagement
March 1st, 2012 | SMWC
Saint Mary-of-the-Woods College recently received word that their college Facebook page was ranked seventh in the nation of nearly 1000 schools critiqued. BlueFuego, Inc., a firm providing consulting and advice for implementing the social web in higher education, studied schools ranging in size and geography, anywhere from Texas A&M to Harvard to Murray State to Saint Mary-of-the-Woods College. Of nearly 1400 schools, 972 schools met the criteria for the study.
Sara Palmer, communications manager at Saint Mary-of-the-Woods College said, "When we learned BlueFuego ranked us as seventh in the nation for college Facebook engagement, especially up against famous schools like Texas A&M and Harvard, we were very excited and proud. It's a testament to our hard work, but mostly it just proves that our alums and friends truly care about this place. We are a close-knit community on campus and online."
BlueFuego, Inc., used the formula of likes plus shares plus comments divided by number of fans. Each school had to have at least 1000 fans and five or more post per month. On the first of every month, they pulled all the interactions from all the posts of the month and averaged them out; this data was a 12-month average of that and the results gave them their rankings. See Blue Fuego's rankings!
Palmer said, "We try to engage our alums and the community with a variety of information. From trivia questions to news articles, student achievements to photo hunts, we get them involved in a conversation. They share their memories, congratulate those making new ones and continue building relationships that last much longer than four years."

In January 2009, the City of Berkeley became a member of Green Cities California (GCC). GCC is an association of leading green cities and counties that exists to accelerate sustainability policy at all levels of government. Membership in GCC better enables Berkeley to share and benefit from best practices with other member governments.
The GCC members aim to influence state and national actions that reduce greenhouse gas emissions; promote sustainable land use, building and development practices; conserve water; promote energy efficiency; expand renewable energy options; reduce waste to landfills; extend producer responsibility; reduce vehicle miles traveled; distribute environmental benefits and burdens in an equitable manner; and provide funding for local governments to accomplish these goals.
Adopting the GCC resolution commits the City of Berkeley to a series of actions, including:
GCC member jurisdictions represent over eight million California residents (22% of the state's population). The GCC members look to use their collective voice to influence state and national sustainability legislation. GCC's website which will chronicle the work of the GCC and highlight best practices is currently under development.

Corn futures continued their post-report decline Tuesday morning. Although yesterday's Acreage report seemed supportive of new-crop corn futures, the June 1 Stocks result easily topped expectations and sent the whole complex lower. Having the weekly Crop Progress report depict another very high condition rating for U.S. corn is also depressing prices. September corn sank 6.5 cents to $4.1225/bushel late Tuesday morning, while December lost 6.25 to $4.19.
The soy complex is also slumping. New-crop soy contracts led the whole complex lower Monday after the USDA stated planted acreage at a record high Monday. Prices seemed to stabilize at modestly lower levels overnight, but have resumed their slide today. Tumbling grain prices aren't helping the bullish cause either. August soybeans dove 15.0 cents to $13.1475/bushel shortly before lunchtime Tuesday, while August soyoil slid 0.29 cents to 38.66 cents/pound, and August soymeal sagged $5.6 to $425.1/ton.
The wheat markets also remain under pressure. The quarterly Grain Stocks report was somewhat supportive of wheat futures, but both winter and spring wheat acreage on the Acreage report apparently spurred widespread selling. News that U.S. wheat was shut out of a big Egyptian tender reemphasized the bearish global situation as well. September CBOT wheat futures fell 6.25 cents to $5.71/bushel around in late Tuesday morning action, while September KCBT wheat slumped 14.75 cents to $6.855, and September MWE futures dropped 10.25 to $6.6675.
Resurgent beef prices are boosting cattle futures. Traders recently suspected late-June gains in cash cattle and wholesale prices had run their course and the complex was due for a seasonal setback. Futures suffered accordingly. However, beef cutouts surged to fresh highs Monday afternoon, thereby giving rise to fresh bullishness. August cattle surged 1.25 cents to 151.32 cents/pound around midsession Tuesday, while December jumped 1.30 to 155.02. Meanwhile, August feeder cattle leapt 2.45 cents to 215.22 cents/pound, and October feeders soared 2.60 to 216.87.
Hog futures turned mixed Tuesday morning. The quarterly Hogs & Pigs report was clearly bullish for the hog outlook and futures reacted accordingly. However, the nearby contracts failed at fresh highs, with the subsequent breakdown weighing heavily upon deferred futures as well. August hog futures plunged 2.22 cents to 130.60 cents/pound as the lunch hour loomed Tuesday, but December remained 1.05 cents higher at 99.65.

Lady Flames Embark On Israel Trip
|The Liberty women's basketball team will spend two weeks in Israel.
The Liberty women's basketball team departed Lynchburg Wednesday morning for a once-in-a-lifetime road trip. The Lady Flames will spend the next two weeks in Israel, touring the Holy Land and competing against international opponents in the Friendship Games.
The Lady Flames' returning players will be making the trip, none of whom were part of Liberty's previous Israel tour in 2010.
As was the case four years ago, the team will spend the first part of the trip visiting numerous Christian landmarks, including Capernaum, the Sea of Galilee, the Dead Sea, the Jordan River, the Mount of Olives, Gethsemane and the Garden Tomb.
The Lady Flames will then play in the international Friendship Games tournament in Eilat, Israel, June 10-17. In 2010, Liberty captured the Friendship Games championship with a perfect 5-0 record.
Keep an eye on LibertyFlames.com and the Liberty Women's Basketball blog for updates throughout the Israel trip.

Hey guys, I'm new here, just signed up a few minutes ago!
I've recently launched my web design company and we're open for business. I'm ready to start driving leads to the website and already have a few methods like classified ads and SEO but I'm wondering if some of you who are in the business could offer up any solid tips on the best way to get clients.
Welcome to the forum, apexmateria.
When I was starting out, I got my first few clients by going through the local Yellow Pages, find out local businesses that still don't have a website or have a sucky website and started calling them one by one. Yes, this may not be the most effective method today but my hypothesis back then was that in order to reach small business owners who are not savvy enough to build their own website and search for a web designer / Internet marketer online, the best way is to call them rather than waiting for them to search for me online since they are not savvy enough to do that. Once you have a few clients that are satisfied with your work, referrals from these happy customers will help grow your business moving forward.
Referral is a good way to get new clients, that's why it's important to maintain a good client-developer relationship. You can also request your client to write a testimonial about the services that you have provided them. Word-of-mouth is a good way to increase your clientele.
Nothing beats the classic word of mouth marketing.
Do something great for one client and he will refer you to some of the people he knows.
You could also try on different forum marketplace where you can post your services and get interested clients and freelancing sites such as elance, freelancer, odesk...
Cold calling. Don't beat about the bush with wishy-washy passive methods of acquiring your first clients. Take control. Find some suitable clients and talk to them directly, by phone or in person. Tell them what you do and ask them if you can do business. Some of them will say Yes - and that's Job Done.
Try out different project website like elance.com, guru.com, freelance.com, etc. These website has many projects posted on daily basis, bid on those projects and start building your clienttele. Once you have few clients in hand than you can always asked them for referrals..
You can get good clients through refference. Build your connection strong with your clients by fullfill their needs as per their requirements so they will reffer some other clients.
Referrals, referrals, referrals.
I've spent money on ads (not much though, and I might revisit it one day), I've redone on my portfolio website endless times, tweaked the SEO to the max before (which got me a small heap of traffic at the time), but always my next client comes from my previous client.
These days the web landscape (webscape?) has changed so much that I now only keep the portfolio website up as a formality; It gets almost no traffic except when I mail the link to someone to see. When work slows down, I start looking at which of past websites I've done need some upgrading, and start calling those past clients to sell them on improvements or new features. I ask everyone I've worked with to please tell their friends about me.
I wish I could give you a more helpful answer, but for me it's always worked way. It's a little... organic? It feels like I don't have a lot of control over the situation because it's not as mathematical as run-an-ad-for-two-weeks-and-get-two-clients. But one thing though, looking at my accounts over the past few years, my income as been pretty steady, even though my "marketing" hasn't been very hands on. That either means I've been doing something right, or I've just been really lucky. Maybe it's a little of both.
That are cool offers.... I got my first client through fiverr... for $5 only... which later on turned into ... $500 ... and did work many times with him.. so don't leave these small websites as well... best of luck
Hi guys. I am also a new member. I was kind of moved by the tread, Best Way to Get New Web Design Clients. I was a practicing CPA. I have it up, but now am interested in going back into it. I was wondering if I could add a web site development in my future CPA practice.
Hi Valpan. Consider building websites for cpa firms ... you could probably make a good one and find clients fast.
I write about this stuff over at my blog - on getting clients and income as a web designer. <snip>
Other than that, I'd go talk to people I already know in a professional sense and tell them what I'm looking for. Then keep in touch with those people. It's not being a jerk or rude totalk to people you already know to update them on what you're up to.

Milone, A's lose tight battle against Indians
Lefty fires seven strong innings as one unearned run is difference
CLEVELAND -- It's a bit odd how often the A's get shut out, considering they lead the Major Leagues in runs scored.
On Tuesday night, Indians starter Zach McAllister and a couple relievers held them down in Oakland's 1-0 loss at Progressive Field. The A's have dropped two straight in the series and 12 of their last 18 games.
The A's failed to add to their runs total of 174 runs, as they were blanked for the fourth time this season, tying the Astros for the most such instances in the American League.
Like McAllister, A's starter Tommy Milone (3-4) was extremely effective, firing seven strong innings with five strikeouts and zero walks. The only run -- Yan Gomes' sacrifice fly in the fifth -- was unearned due to a pair of Oakland errors.
"Milone pitched great," A's manager Bob Melvin said. "It's disappointing when you can't get him a run or two to give him a win after pitching like that. But no, he was terrific.
"And as the game went along, you know, you can't give anything up. Again, it's too bad we couldn't score him a run or two."
Carlos Santana led off the fifth with a sharply-hit grounder that skipped off first baseman Brandon Moss' glove for the first of two A's errors on the play. The ball careened toward second baseman Eric Sogard, who threw it away for the second miscue. That allowed Santana to reach second, and he later scored on the sac fly.
"Moss has got a lot of range over there," Melvin said. "He's got to know his limitations. But he gets out there with a chance to get it, and it tips of his glove, and then Sogie tries to make a throw to Milone, and it didn't work out for us.
"But as a first baseman, your instincts say when the ball is hit to your right and you have a chance to get it, you go get it. It just didn't work out our way."
Those errors marked the only significant detectable difference between each club's side of the box score. McAllister (3-3) logged four strikeouts and one walk in 7 2/3 innings. Both starters allowed five hits. The A's stranded five runners, compared to the Indians' four.
John Jaso notched two singles for Oakland, while Josh Donaldson, Derek Norris and Sogard each added another off McAllister.
"He threw a few more splits today than we had seen in the past," Melvin said. "Maybe not as good of velocity on his fastball, but it looked like he was on the corners most of the night, and mixed his pitches better than we've seen in the past."
Milone lowered his ERA from 3.69 to 3.13, despite the hard-luck loss.
"It doesn't matter really," said Milone, who also had a hand in catching a few Indians runners on the bases. "Obviously, we have to win. My goal is to keep the team in the game. That's what I'm going to do every time out, or I'm going to try to.
"Early on, I was throwing a lot of balls. But I was able to come back and make some good pitches. Being able to do that kind of got me in a rhythm towards the end of the game."
Indians manager Terry Francona was impressed with Milone's performance.
"Once he got into the game, he started coming in on us with that cutter," the skipper said. "And then when he needed to go to a big pitch, he'd throw that changeup. He really pitched a really good game. We had some opportunities. We had guys at second a few times. He handled the running game a little bit himself."
Oakland could have been in business in the ninth inning, when Yoénis Cespedes singled to center off closer Chris Perez, but he was gunned down by Indians catcher Yan Gomes while trying to steal second. Perez then promptly struck out Brandon Moss to end the game and earn his fourth save.
"You've got to try it," Melvin said about Cespedes' steal attempt. "It's 1.5 [seconds] to the plate. He didn't get as good a jump on the second one, and it ended up being kind of high and wide, which is a good pitch for Gomes to throw, and he made a good throw. But if I didn't want him to go, I'd have put a red light on him."
The bullet from Gomes' arm caught the attention of his own manager, too.
"That was one of the better throws," Francona said. "That's impressive. Any time you see one of your guys make one of their better plays at a point in the game when it's necessary, that's really exciting."
The play was the latest one to go against the A's since they arrived in Cleveland. They'll need to win the next two just to split the four-game set.
"There are going to be times during the season when guys go cold," Melvin said. "We have quite a few guys that aren't swinging near as well as they were earlier. And then you've got to try to win in different fashions. We just came up short tonight, but it certainly wasn't Milone's fault."

Did you know?
Main Street Life also houses a boxing gym and a dance and music rehearsal space.
Main Street Life – the new name given to a once largely forgotten and seedy part of Johannesburg – has now, like the proverbial phoenix, risen from the ashes of an industrial past and become one of the city's trendiest, edgiest and coolest places to live, work and play.
Main Street Life is part of the on-going Maboneng Precinct project, which kicked off with the hugely successful Arts on Main, a development that took over some old inner city offices and warehouses and renewed, recycled, refurbished and rebuilt where necessary.
Today Arts on Main is an eclectic mix of art galleries, advertising agencies, artists' studios and retail spaces.
Following the success of Arts on Main, it was time for visionary property developer Jonathan Liebmann, who created Arts on Main with architect Enrico Daffonchio, to move on to the next stage of the Maboneng Precinct – Main Street Life.
Another old, run-down industrial building was acquired and transformed into a modern, funky but functional complex that houses everything from small apartments to penthouses, shops to restaurants, creative workspaces to a roof venue with a stunning 360º view over the city. Cinderella is transformed almost overnight into a classy inner city princess.
Her crown – and the high point of Main Street Life metaphorically and literally – is the 12 Decades Johannesburg Arts Hotel.
This self-catering boutique hotel embodies a unique concept: Leibmann asked some of South Africa's best-known designers and artists to take the 12 rooms of the hotel and have them represent Johannesburg's past 12 decades.
Choose 'This is the House that Jack Built', themed around mining, or 'Ponte Obscura', where the room becomes a camera obscura filled with inverted views of Berea, Hillbrow and the iconic Ponte Tower.

THE long-running project revamping hospital services in Worcestershire seems to have hit another stumbling block.
Health bosses in the county had said it was hoped a public consultation into the Future of Acute Hospital Services in Worcestershire project could be launched in September in time for the project to be ready to get underway at the start of next year.
But, after examining the business case for the project which was submitted last month, NHS England has said more work needs to be done before a consultation can be launched.
Although the organisation has said it supports the proposed clinical model, this now means it is unlikely the public consultation will be completed by the end of the year, having a knock-on effect on the project as a whole.
The project's programme team has agreed an action plan to complete the project as soon as possible.
In January the results of an independent report into project were presented, recommending a Major Emergency Centre is set up at Worcestershire Royal Hospital dealing with the most serious cases, while an Emergency Centre is established at Redditch's Alexandra Hospital.
The report also recommended consultant-led maternity services and paediatric inpatients should be centralised at the Royal while a stand-alone birth centre is set up in the north of the county and transport arrangements between the two hospitals are reviewed.
Although concerns had been raised the plans would involve closing the A&E at the Alex, the panel did not take this recommendation forward.

Hey there, time traveller!
This article was published 26/9/2013 (1426 days ago), so information in it may no longer be current.
They've got some work to do on the results but some nights more than others -- and Thursday was one of those nights -- it's easy to see why NHL pre-season games are both good and necessary.
The Winnipeg Jets gave up a 2-1 third-period lead and lost 3-2 in overtime to the Boston Bruins at the MTS Centre, but front and centre for the home team was another glimpse into the future.
Prominent in mostly good ways were Jets centre Mark Scheifele and defenceman Jacob Trouba, the rookies who symbolize real change and real hope.
Trouba was named a game star for his 23 minutes 28 seconds of play and Scheifele gave the Jets a third-period go-ahead goal, his first of the pre-season.
"I thought that the guys that had a lot to prove tonight really showed that they tried to impress," Jets coach Claude Noel said later, meaning the rookies plus a few other players in battles for roster spots.
On Scheifele and his bid to be the team's second- or third-line centre this season, you can tell the coach is growing a little warmer.
"A little trouble early in the game, I thought," Noel said. "But I thought he played a lot better as the game went on.
"The goal was a relief for Mark, a big play at a key time for us. And he was better on faceoffs in the second and third and that was an area of concern for us."
Still, the Jets lost again in the exhibition round, now 1-3-3 in their seven outings, with the final one coming tonight against the Bruins in Saskatoon.
A different mark
Scheifele has been less flashy in this training camp than when he piled up points as a fresh draftee two Septembers ago.
And that's a good thing, if you see what matters.
"It's not about the points," he said after the game and his first goal in five pre-season games. "It's about being reliable defensively, winning faceoffs. It's about the team play. It's not about individual stats or about any of that.
"It's about helping the team win and doing the simple things. That's been my focus. I haven't focused on the points at all. That comes from playing a hard, simple game. It's about doing the simple things and working my hardest."
Scheifele's faceoff tally improved as the night went on, from two wins out of seven in the first to a final of seven out of 13.
And the chemistry with Thursday linemates Devin Setoguchi and James Wright was developing.
"Whoever I'm out with, I try to talk and pick their brain and see what kind of tendencies they have," Scheifele said.
Setoguchi, who also had his first goal of the pre-season, said he sees some progress with Scheifele.
"It's tough to tell," Setoguchi began. "I think he's doing a great job. Obviously he's got poise with the puck and he makes the right plays and he scored a big goal tonight.
"Still, it amps up when you get to the regular season but obviously he's been playing good."
Lead lost
After Scheifele put away his power-play goal, a fine hustle off the right wing to retrieve and deposit a dumped-in rebound off the backboard, the Bruins were back even in two minutes.
Ryan Spooner's point shot found the back of the net when the Scheifele line got pinned and then Loui Eriksson buried the winner in the extra period, converting a two-on-one.
The result didn't sit well with some on the home side.
"It's nice to get a goal obviously, but the main thing is to get the win," Setoguchi said, frowning.
Decisions, decisions
The team's fourth-line combination still isn't clear, but the likes of centre Patrice Cormier, wingers Anthony Peluso and Chris Thorburn in particular helped themselves with their efforts.
"We'll see where it all shakes out, but I think they helped themselves," Noel said.

The Constitutional Right To Bear Arms Has Outlived Its Usefulness
Constitutional Contradictions?
Clip: Sanford Levinson, David Kopel, Alan Dershowitz, and Eugene Volokh respond to a question regarding the constitutional rights of citizens to bear arms against government versus the constitutional provision to suppress insurrection.
What Is a "Well-Regulated Militia"?
Clip: Eugene Volokh and Alan Dershowitz spar over the meaning of the "well-regulated militia" clause of the second amendment and it's modern applications.
Debate Details
"A well regulated Militia being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the people to keep and bear Arms shall not be infringed." –2nd Amendment
Recent mass shooting tragedies have renewed the national debate over the 2nd Amendment. Gun ownership and homicide rates are higher in the U.S. than in any other developed nation, but gun violence has decreased over the last two decades even as gun ownership may be increasing. Over 200 years have passed since James Madison introduced the Bill of Rights, the country has changed, and so have its guns. Is the right to bear arms now at odds with the common good, or is it as necessary today as it was in 1789?

Where Do You Stand?
- The social costs of widespread firearm distribution—foremost, the high murder rate in the U.S.—outweigh whatever degree of liberty gun ownership is seen to protect.
- When the practical consequences of a right becomes counterproductive to society, it has outlived its usefulness. While armed citizens ensured the security of a free state in 1789, personal guns are no longer a civilian's main protection or democracy's best safeguard. Today, the U.S. has a standing army and a well-trained police force that provide for our security and protection.
- When the values of society at large have significantly changed, a stubborn allegiance to the constitution should not blind us to the incompatibility of certain tenets with modern society.
- Technological advancements have created guns with capabilities far beyond those envisioned in 1789, and the Second Amendment is not capable of regulating such arms.
- The individual right to bear arms, like free speech and trial by jury, is fundamental to our American identity. It safeguards democracy, guaranteeing that all citizens have power relative to the state and to each other.
- The Bill of Rights is meant to place certain rights beyond political controversy. Authorizing judges to nullify a constitutionally guaranteed right based on it being "outdated" puts all constitutional liberties in jeopardy.
- Stricter gun laws do not necessarily decrease crime or prevent mass killings. Criminals will get their hands on guns legally or not, so we should address gun violence as a social and economic issue, rather than a legal one.
- Technological changes have not rendered other constitutional rights useless over the past two centuries (i.e. the internet and freedom of speech), and the same should hold true for the right to bear arms.

Hey there, time traveller!
This article was published 30/11/2012 (1725 days ago), so information in it may no longer be current.
Standing on a street corner in what may be the best location in Winnipeg's Exchange District, football player-turned-restaurateur Obby Khan pointed to his new digs and talked about the future.
A few days earlier, the Canadian Football League offensive lineman lost the Grey Cup as a member of the Calgary Stampeders. On Friday, he sized up the facade of Shawarma Khan, the restaurant he plans to run at the northeast corner of McDermot Avenue and Albert Street.
"We hope to be open the first week of January," said the former Winnipeg Blue Bomber, using the term "hope" only to describe the uncertainty of passing City of Winnipeg inspections.
No restaurant owner would rely on the power of hope to succeed at their operation. That's because running a restaurant is one of the riskiest moves any entrepreneur could ever make
Hope won't hurt a restaurateur, but in order to succeed, they're better served by a reliable business plan, a good location and above all, a remarkable amount of commitment. The vast majority of restaurants fail spectacularly, thanks to the combined evils of narrow profit margins, high overhead, inconsistent suppliers, unpredictable labour and fickle customers.
Most are lucky to survive two years. Restaurant owners who manage to stay afloat for five or 10 years deserve to be considered geniuses.
Lasting 81 years, the way C. Kelekis Restaurant has done, should qualify owner-operator Mary Kelekis for demigod status. Selling burgers and fries on a North End stretch of Main Street was not a business plan, but a mission statement for the Kelekis family, who will be missed when their eponymous restaurant shuts for good at the end of January.
The news Kelekis will close was followed by a now-familiar round of Winnipeg chatter. Longtime North Enders immediately waxed nostalgic. People who grew up in St. James or St. Vital likely just shrugged.-P96xavpg.js">
Former devotees who haven't patronized the establishment for decades made plans with friends to meet up at Kelekis for some shoestring fries, a bizarrely ice-devoid glass of Coca Cola and a split wiener or a Yaleburger or both. Naysayers bragged they never visited or simply didn't get the aura of nostalgia that enshrouds the place, adorned so famously with pictures of celebrities people under the age of 50 may not recognize.
Watching this range of reaction unfold on Twitter on Friday, it was impossible not to be overcome with a sense of déj vu.
In December 2010, when the owners of the Coronation Block announced they had tired of running the Shanghai Restaurant, Chinatown's longest-running institution, a Chinese-Canadian staple since the 1940s, had effectively fried its final egg roll. The restaurant closed the following January and was finally demolished a few weeks ago to make way for possibly a seniors home in the future.
In May 2011, when the Longboat Development Corp. announced its acquisition of the Norlyn Building on Hargrave Street, the famous Wagon Wheel Lunch -- in business since 1951 -- was doomed. Despite vague talk of reopening elsewhere, the Wagon Wheel served its final clubhouse on a sunny afternoon last July. A new residential tower will soon rise on the same block.
Kelekis has been around since 1931 in one form or another, as the mural on the restaurant wall opposite the ones with the famous photos illustrates. During that time, entire generations have grown up scarfing down Kelekis burgers, growing intimately acquainted with the way patties fall apart and create a unique sort of sloppy salad in combination with little bits of relish and fried onion.
Why is such obsessive detail important? Because long-running institutions that make their own food are so rare in today's homogenous hospitality world, where franchises value consistency over quality.
Kelekis is not just one of Western Canada's last authentic diners. It's inextricably linked with the mythos of a multicultural, ultra-dynamic North End where everybody came from and nobody remains, when in fact only a minority of us actually came from there and a lot of us continue to live there and love it, despite its reputation.
There can be and never will be another C. Kelekis Restaurant. Visit within the next two months or prepare to cherish your memories. The extreme commitment displayed by Mary Kelekis's family will never be forgotten.
If Obby the former Bomber manages to exude a tiny fraction of it, Shawarma Khan will survive a decade.

Topic: Increased platelet count!
Hi all,
My dad just finished the 2nd cycle of chemptherpay today.
Strangely his platelets went up again to 467! (had not given papaya extract and this just proves that alot of things are not related). The Oncologist didnt seem concerned and said that chemotherapy can cause this.
I have read some artciles about GEM causing a rebound thrombocytosis (increased platelet count).
http://meeting.ascopubs.org/cgi/content … suppl/6091
Next week is his CT scan - am praying for some good news.
Has anyone had this effect with chemotherapy (escpecially GEM) on this board?

BRUNSWICK, Ga. - The pain of an unthinkable murder is still fresh in the minds of the people of Brunswick.
Residents are still coping with the death of a 13-month-old boy, who was gunned down in his stroller right in front of his mother in broad daylight.
"It's a horrendous thing and very disturbing," said Virginia Ray.
Dozens of family and friends gathered Sunday night at a Brunswick church to pray for the family, who was visibly shaken over the slaying of little Antonio Santiago.
"This community has been shocked, stunned, mortified, something never experienced before," said Mayor Bryan Thompson.
The community found strength through prayer during a candle light service at the First Presbyterian Church.
He said the community's prayers give him strength to talk publicly.
"I am so blessed, I just thank God for all these people in the community," said Louis Santiago, the slain boy's father.
Santiago said he has hope for the teen suspects arrested and charged with first degree murder.
"I just want to tell the families and the people in this community, the little boys that did it that I forgive them," said Santiago.

WASHINGTON As I read Vlad's op-ed in The New York Times, a Judy Collins tune kept replaying in my head: "Isn't it rich? Isn't it queer?"
The song, actually written by Stephen Sondheim, although it is Collins' signature hit, is "Send in the Clowns" and seems an apt soundtrack for current events. As we've stalled in making a decision about how to handle Syria (two years and counting), Russian President Vladimir Putin and Syrian President Bashar al-Assad have been allowed to emerge as reasonable heads of state, talking down to the U.S., lecturing us about our misplaced belief in exceptionalism, and making demands that mock our president.
Nice work.

Hey there, time traveller!
This article was published 3/12/2013 (1358 days ago), so information in it may no longer be current.
Take a drive around the outskirts of the City of Winnipeg right now and the need for an expanded Unicity may just smack you in face.
On the edge of North Kildonan, the city is planning to barricade roads leading into East St. Paul to dissuade a Toronto developer from building a Walmart just outside the city's boundaries.
On the edge of Transcona, a residential-property developer hoping to build affordable housing has wound up in conflict with heavy industry across the border with the RM of Springfield.
On the edge of Richardson International Airport, the nascent CentrePort industrial development is struggling to secure servicing because the RM of Rosser falls outside a century-old deal governing the use of water from Shoal Lake.
And in every Winnipeg bedroom community, ex-urban residents are stewing as a result of a city decision to prioritize city dwellers over suburbanites when it comes to signing up for recreation services such as swimming lessons.
All of these headaches -- and potentially many more -- might just disappear if the City of Winnipeg did something it has not done for more than four decades: Swallow up some of its neighbours, either in whole or in part.
In 1972, Winnipeg merged with 13 of its suburbs as part of an effort to reduce the bureaucracy associated with what was then a two-tier system of municipal government. Before Unicity, residents of the old inner city and its neighbouring municipalities were governed by their own councils as well as a regional metropolitan government.
The amalgamation, which predated similar efforts in Ottawa, Toronto and Montreal by nearly three decades, was supposed to make municipal government more efficient as well as end an annoying situation where residents of lightly taxed suburbs were consuming city services without paying for them.
Unfortunately, the expanded City of Winnipeg did not live happily ever after. Even after 510 Main St. gained control over the vast majority of the Winnipeg metropolitan area -- the area where more than half the workforce commutes to the city every day -- outlying areas of the early megacity continued to develop at the expense of the inner city.
Today, the city continues to contain the vast majority of its metropolitan population: 714,000 people live inside the City of Winnipeg, while only another 75,000 people reside in the 11 municipalities that make up the Winnipeg Census Metropolitan Area.
Nonetheless, residential, industrial and commercial growth in some of those municipalities -- particularly the St. Pauls, Rosser, Springfield and Headingley, the latter of which seceded from the city in 1993 -- is taking place without any apparent co-ordination with the city itself.
In theory, Winnipeg and its neighbours are supposed to hash out their differences through an entity known as the Manitoba Capital Region. But this weak stab at a regional government has proven utterly useless.
The city will only be able to control its fate if it controls more land. And that means swallowing up entire portions of its neighbours, not just within the Winnipeg CMA, but also just outside of it in the RMs of Rockwood, Cartier and St. Andrews.
Why go so far? If you look at the expanded City of Ottawa, you'll see the nation's relatively well-planned capital controls vast areas of agricultural and natural land well outside its former borders.
Ottawa was allowed to swallow up so much land in an effort to co-ordinate regional transportation, servicing and land-use plans without having to negotiate the messy business of intergovernmental relations.
While it might seem weird to find formerly independent Ontario towns such as Stittsville and Manotick within Ottawa's city limits, there's no doubt 110 Laurier Ave. -- Ottawa's city hall -- has been empowered to control its destiny.
In Winnipeg, the city has never quite managed to fulfil the Unicity promise. But North American city planning is a lot more advanced in 2013 than it was in 1972, thanks to lessons learned across the continent. If Winnipeg does not expand, at least to absorb adjacent neighbourhoods within the existing urban agglomeration, the city is destined to fight endless battles with its neighbours.
Such a move will not be popular on Broadway or in any of the city's bedroom communities, where many property owners pay artificially low municipal taxes. But that's just too freaking bad. Winnipeg's next leader must be brave enough to grapple with the annexation question, which is coming whether Broadway cares to admit it or not.

Focus The Woods: Global food and land use issues
February 4th, 2011 | SMWC
Join us Tuesday, February 8 and Wednesday, February 9, 2011 for Focus The Woods: Global Food and Land Use Issues.
"One billion people are hungry today." This statement by the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations challenges us to care about hunger around the world.
Hunger and possible solutions to feeding the hungry will be addressed at the Focus the Woods: Global Food and Land Use Issues on February 9, 2011 at Saint Mary-of-the-Woods College. The College takes an interdisciplinary look at national and global information related to food and land uses that face our world. Focus the Woods, an annual symposium, tackles topics affecting our global society including climate change, sustainability and water accessibility.
Focus the Woods: Global Food and Land Use Issues kicks off with the viewing of the film The Global Banquet on February 8, 2011, which demonstrates how food security is linked to social development and how women, in particular, are affected by it. This film reveals how agribusiness squeezes out small farmers and how trade liberalization undercuts subsistence farming—in the U.S. as well as in developing countries.
Presentation topics by Saint Mary-of-the-Woods College faculty and students include access to land, forests, water, grazing or fishing grounds; poverty; agricultural support; and social responsibility. The keynote global food and land use issues will be delivered by SMWC Fulbright Scholar-in-Residence Kennedy Ondimu, Ph.D., dean and associate professor in the department of geography from Egerton University in Kenya, Africa.
All events, except for the luncheon, take place in Hayes Auditorium, located in Hulman Hall.

AnfahrtKarte anzeigenKarte verbergen
As you find yourself in Riga, walk just 06 minutes from Central Bus station (350 m), or 08 minutes Central Rail terminal (450 m). We calculated time presuming you are carrying backpack :)) If you are fit and fast, cut the timings almost by half. Teddy's home hides just off a busy pedestrian street in the Old Town, Audeju iela. Get out - and you'll be immersed into the heart beat of every possible Riga's fun and happening. Need peace and rest - just head into XIX century arc with elegant stained-glass and you are in the calm and peaceful hide away.
How to find Teddy Bear hostel in Riga??
A few hints are below:
Head straight from rail/bus/airport stop to main street going into Old Town. That's called Audeju iela.
Pass Galerija Centrs (main mall in Old Riga) on your right and keep moving for another 2 minutes.
Small medieval street turning from Audeju to the left is your destination! It's called Vecpilsetas iela (sounds like 'Vets-pill-set-us').
Just 15 meters straight and turn right into the arch of building number 3 on Vecpilsetas street (the arch is just in front of the 'Pomodoro' restaurant).
That's correct place!
Green door with board 'Teddy Bear hostel' waits for you inside the arch, 20 steps inside the arch.
Warm welcome!
If coming by taxi, just say the address 'Vecpilsētas 3'. You'll be delivered within meters of the passageway (an arch) to the courtyard, go in and you'll see the entrance.

WHEN American military bigwigs arrived in Swindon to prepare for D-Day they were no doubt as happy as clams to learn they would be billeted in nothing less than a genuine, historic mansion that many an English toff had called home for the best part of 500 years.
They had perhaps imagined palatial interiors, a sweeping marble staircase, several grand, comfortable apartments, a welcoming fireplace the size of your average hunting lodge and maybe some of those comfy four-poster beds so beloved by swanky, well-heeled Limeys.
Something to write the folks back home, for sure. It is amusing to imagine their consternation when confronted with the reality.
Angrily surveying the proposed accommodation earmarked for top brass, the commander in charge of troops about to be based at Lydiard Park is reported to have spluttered something along the lines of: "You must be joking – this joint is not fit for human habitation."
His exasperation and disappointment were understandable. Earlier an indignant Lord Bolingbroke had been turfed out of his ancestral home by the War Department to make way for the Yanks.
But by that time the impoverished peer had been reduced to living in a state of what was politely referred to as "reduced circumstances."
The family treasures sold, its fortune squandered, he and until her recent death, his mother had survived in a couple of small coal-fire heated rooms to the rear of the rambling mansion, leaving the once sumptuous Lydiard House to further rot around them.
This is how Sarah Finch-Crisp – as Keeper of Lydiard House a few years ago – described to me the parlous state of the once luxurious mansion when the first wave of GIs hit Swindon in the early 1940s: "It was in a ruinous condition. There was dry rot, wet rot, woodworm, death-watch beetle, all manner of structural problems festering away. Water was pouring through big holes in the roof, the ceiling was unstable.
"The Bolingbrokes had hit on such bad times that they never maintained the house or installed electricity, heating or a water supply."
No wonder US Army chiefs preferred to rough it in their huts. As a military base of canvas and wood sprang up on 80 acres of adjoining parkland, Lydiard House was left to further deteriorate.
With its ornate plasterwork, plush, gilt-wood original furnishings, grand portraits of former lords and ladies of the manor and undeniable air of opulence and history, the same structure today stands as a magnificent testament to those who re-built and re-furnished it.
In all likelihood it is the finest building, secular or otherwise, in the Borough of Swindon. It is certainly Swindon's biggest council house.
One man in particular, with the vision and nous to recognise its value to Swindon and its people is especially responsible for the salvation and subsequent resurrection of Lydiard House and Park.
Despite the crippling shortage of finances during the war, Swindon's town clerk David Murray John in 1943 scraped £4,500 from the civic coffers to acquire the derelict property and 147 acres of rundown parkland.
Murray John knew he wasn't just investing in a ramshackle heap of masonry and overgrown, bramble-infested countryside – he was buying a genuine slice of English history where drama, tragedy and controversy echoed down the centuries.
Lydiard was first recorded in 1086 when the estate was owned by Alfred of Marlborough. For around half a millennium, up until Bolingbroke's ignoble departure in the 1940s, the lords of the manor were the illustrious, royally-connected St John family.
Margaret Beauchamp, owner of Lydiard in the 15th Century, became the grandmother of the first Tudor King Henry VII, and thus the great grandmother of Henry VIII. Her great, great granddaughter Elizabeth I was regally entertained at Lydiard by lady of the house Lucy St John in 1592.
Tragedy, however, engulfed its elegant halls during the Civil War in the 1640s when Sir John St John, a committed Royalist, despatched his three sons to fight for Charles I.
William died at Cirencester, John at Newark and Edward limped home mortally wounded from Newbury. Sir John, effectively, died with them.
John Wilmot, 2nd Earl of Rochester, brought shame crashing onto Lydiard House. A notorious rake, he led his pal Charles II "the merry monarch" on many a foray through London's bawdiest taverns and brothels before succumbing to syphilis at 33.
He was portrayed by Johnny Depp in The Libertine (2005) and a fine portrait of the swaggering debauchee hangs in the house, as does that of fellow family member Barbara Villiers, one of Charles II's most curvaceous mistresses.
The ageing medieval pile was in 1743 fashionably re-modelled into the classically styled mansion we see today.
Perhaps Lydiard's most famous – or infamous – resident was Lady Diana Spencer. No, not that one, although they were distant relatives. Princess Diana's 18th Century namesake was publicly branded "a whore" by Samuel Johnson, the foremost figure of the age.
Her crime? To leave her husband for a dashing young lover with whom she had an illegitimate child. Good on you, girl. Her bad tempered, abusive spouse Frederick St John was not known as Viscount "Bully" Bolingbroke for nothing.
It was inveterate gambler Bully who sparked the demise of the St Johns, creating a culture of flogging off the family heirlooms – from cherished works of art to ornate furnishings – to pay mounting debts.
It was the bookies and the booze that did them in. By the early 20th Century the family was virtually destitute and there was a real possibility of their once splendid home imploding into a cloud of Bath stone dust.
When the Americans hit the beaches of Normandy Lydiard Park became a military hospital, then a prisoner of war camp. It also doubled as a training ground for a local dad's army battalion to fire their guns.
Sadly, Murray John did not live to see the restoration of Lydiard, dying at 66 in 1974 as the first buds of its rebirth began to sprout.
Over the years millions in grants has been channelled into the meticulous rejuvenation of Lydiard via an army of stonemasons, architects, plasterers and carpenters.
Even Lydiard's "lost lake," last seen about 100 years ago before vanishing into a pit of sludge, is back in its watery splendour.
Original furnishings, ancestral portraits and other household objets d'art have been tenaciously tracked down and returned to their rightful place.
Much was bequeathed by Henry St John, last of the beleaguered Bolingbrokes, on his death in 1975. So, should we be alarmed at claims by some local politicians that Swindon council is considering off-loading one of its (our) most prized assets?
A Russian oligarch, perhaps, might fancy himself as the new squire.
Let us hope it is merely the usual bluff and bluster of politicians during the build-up to an election.
Otherwise a Great Swindonian's legacy will be unforgivably soured and its people left with a gaping hole in their heritage – just like the one in the roof that the Yanks gazed up at in horror all those years ago.
- Lydiard House and Park at Lydiard Tregoze, SN5 3PA is open all year round. For information about admission prices, times and events contact 01793-466664 or visit: www.lydiardpark.org.uk
Before invading France on D-Day on June 6, 1944 some American soldiers invaded Lydiard House on the night of November 3, 1943.
Rampaging through its shadowy interior, they did some damage and carved their names in the roofing and walls, leaving some interesting historical graffiti.
Severely reprimanded by their CO they were also required to attend an extended local church service where further lectures were administered.
Sounds like high spirits to me; understandable in the face of the forthcoming horrors of Omaha Beach.
Every month dances were held at US Camp Lydiard and "a fine collection of girls" were always invited.
On one occasion it was recorded that 30 arrived from the United Dairies in Wootton Bassett while 50 were bussed in from the Great Western Railway works – all foaming with excitement, no doubt, at the prospect of booze, nylons and jiving.

Stink free.
Rosso Corsa is the designation Castelli uses for their best gear. The Rosso Corsa socks are their best, and since Italians value style you can rest assured that they come in several cuff lengths. The Rosso Corsa 13 comes in a 13cm cuff, the longest Castelli makes.
The Rossa Corsa are woven with Meryl Skinlife antibacterial fibers. The sock is thus wicking, will feel dry pretty much in just about every circumstance save a rainstorm. The top of the foot is a diaphanous web, ultra-thin and extremely breathable. In the middle of the foot, the arch area, there is a high-density band woven in. You won't notice any difference in thickness, but you will feel like the sock is becoming one with your foot rather than sliding around between your foot and your shoe. The toe has a flat seam for comfort and the cuff at the top is folded over to keep the sock from slipping.
The Castelli Rosso Corsa 13 Sock comes in two colors: Black and White. The toes, heels, mid-foot band, and cuff logos are in contrasting colors. Sizes are S/M, L/XL, and 2XL.
- Meryl Skinlife antimicrobial fabric
- 13-centimeter cuff length
- High-density mid-foot band

Reviews & Community
A fan
- Fit: True to size
- Size Bought: L/XL
I like a really thin sock. Living in the south, I find that thicker socks give me hot spots. Was glad to see Castelli introduce a cool summer sock taller than their 9's. Could do w/o all the Rosso Corsa branding but they do the job really well so I can deal.
Not as fast as I'd hoped.
- Familiarity: I've used it once or twice and have initial impressions
- Fit: True to size
I got these for my last 'a' road race of the season. I flatted 14 miles in. I ended up with a pretty poor finish. I'd hoped these socks would help me finish with the pack, but they let me down. Demoted to training socks.
These are castelli and are sized accordingly.
- Familiarity: I've used it once or twice and have initial impressions
Euro cool, nice for late season
- Familiarity: I've used it several times
- Fit: True to size
- Size Bought: L/XL
I like a higher sock for late season riding. I'm glad I checked the other reviews in terms of sizing. I wear a 10.5 US or 44 Euro shoe, I purchased a L/XL in these. I have a short pair of Castelli socks that are XL/XXL that fit similar. Well made, I'd love to see a bit more padding however. Made like a summer sock but in a taller version.
- Familiarity: I've used it several times
They are just comfortable, I can not stress this enough, I have wore regular padded athletic socks ( Puma ) and they just do not hold a candle to these, and they are not as padded, how don't even know how Castelli was able to do it, they are light on the areas that need to be and they have more fabric in the ankle area, helps a ton when is a bit cold out.
One of my favorites
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
Top of the line socks for sure. The thin webbing helps keep your foot cool in the summer and doesn't bunch up under your shoe. After about ten washes they still look great. I bought the white pair.
Summer socks
- Familiarity: I've used it several times
Great fit and detailing. The thinner fabric on top helps keep you from getting swamp foot.
Dig 'em
Nice socks; even better on sale
Top sock
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
The corsa socks are great summer socks. Fit snug and keep your dogs breathing.
Favorite socks
My new favorite socks. They are tall enough to look PRO even on my super long legs and size 47 feet. They stay put without bunching in the toe. They don't chafe in the rain. They are a summer sock -- nice and thin around the foot with no half-cocked attempts at "compression". If you prefer the Swiftwick thickness, these may not be for you.
Perfect socks
Excellent socks. These Castelli Rosso's are just the right length that I like. They are longer than most bike socks around. They feel comfortable in my shoes and are both thin and sweat wicking as you need.
They're socks. They fit great (tight and tall) and do the job in typical Castelli fashion. I like.
Killer socks man!
These are by far my favorites socks to date. Tall and comfy and with that PRO look how can you go wrong? Perfect for those warmer rides, so you don't come home with a swamp foot.
Is the cuff on this sock taller than 6"?

GRACE SULZBERGER has spent more time off the bike than on it for the past three years.
This time last year, 35-year-old Felicity Wardlaw was yet to start road racing.
The duo had inspirational wins of their own as Shara Gillow dominated the women's time trial on day one of the Australian road cycling championships.
Sulzberger took the silver medal and Wardlaw completed the podium as Gillow won the event for the third straight year.
Sulzberger comes from the first family of Tasmanian cycling - her older brothers Wes and Bernard are also prominent riders. But the sport was the last thing on her mind in 2009 as she spent time in hospital because of an eating disorder.
After successfully battling that illness, Sulzberger was able to return to cycling. But she battled a string of health and injury setbacks through last year. She broke her wrist in a crash, then suffered a lung infection and tonsillitis.
''I have only been back training for a month heading into the road nationals,'' Sulzberger said.
''I have to thank Bernard for my success - he motivated me and got me training again.''
Wardlaw's path to the podium was less dramatic, but more surprising.
She caused the big upset on day one of the nationals, winning bronze in only her third time trial and less than a year after switching to road racing.
Wardlaw had a strong background in endurance events - rowing, Ironman triathlon and mountain biking. Her coach Mark Fenner looked at Wardlaw's training data and realised she had the perfect physiology for time-trialling.
''They keep telling me I'm 35, but there are world and Olympic champions who are 38 years old,'' she said. ''I do have a strong background in endurance sports, so I think that diesel engine is starting to pay off.''
Meanwhile, rising star Luke Durbridge continues to showcase his vast potential, successfully defending the elite men's time trial title. The 21-year-old Orica-GreenEDGE rider won the under-23 world time trial two years ago and looms as a once-in-a-generation talent.
''He's one of those talents who can do anything and it's so early in his career,'' Durbridge's team director Matt Wilson said. ''He doesn't even know what his potential is at this point. Certainly he has the ability to do whatever he wants and he has the right head on his shoulders as well.''
Durbridge blitzed the flat 37-kilometre course, which started and finished at Lake Wendouree, in 47 minutes, 26.71 seconds.
Durbridge's only apparent problem at the moment seems to be pre-race crashes. After nearly being forced out of last year's Tour Down Under because of an accident, Durbridge also lost some skin on Tuesday when he had a minor crash.
''I'm making a bit of a habit of that, so I've got to stop doing it,'' Durbridge said.

109 — By Diane M. Byrne — October 2001
The Seven-Year Itch
|Part 2: Missy B continued
While Missy B does identify with many similar-size yachts in that there are no bulkheads separating the saloon from the dining area, the rooms are divided by a trilevel spiral staircase, situated to starboard. This was another element the Burrows had planned for their original project, and Ted Black of Hargrave's in-house concept studio scaled it down to complement its surroundings. The stair also links the main deck with both the lower deck and the sky lounge.
Truly an elegant aerie, the sky lounge looks and feels large for a yacht of Missy B's size. There's a port-side bar that's sure to get a lot of use whether the Burrows or charterers are on a cruise. An S-shape sofa to starboard mimics the curves of the beautifully finished cabinetry as well as the oval coffee table in front of it and the "light ring" overhead. Two barrel chairs opposite the sofa round out the room's abundant seating.
Just outside the doors from the sky lounge, Missy B's boat deck transforms into yet another large-scale social area when not being used to stow the 18-foot tender and two PWCs. Whether they mill about or relax in deck chairs, a dozen or so guests can comfortably fit up here. (In fact, one night this summer the Burrows had 32 friends and family aboard Missy B, many of whom took advantage of the open deck area.) A Jenn-Aire grill tucked to starboard of the doors keeps the food comin'.
For more formal meals, people will certainly want to gather around the dining table, highlighted by an intricate colored-glass chandelier directly overhead. But for less formal sit-down occasions, they'll want to head to the large, U-shape banquette in the galley. Here they can enjoy a snack or even watch the chef work culinary magic on the expanse of granite topping the prep island. They can also just plain chew the fat (figuratively, of course).
As you'd expect, sleeping accommodations aboard Missy B benefit from the big-boat approach. But it's not limited to the ones for the Burrows and their guests/charterers. While all of their staterooms--full-beam owner's suite, two queen-berth suites, and one twin-berth suite--are off a foyer at the base of the spiral staircase, the captain gets a stateroom with an island queen berth down the steps from the galley. Should the need arise for additional crew when the Burrows are aboard or during charters, there's a double crew cabin to port off the large lazarette, which also houses a commercial-grade extra refrigerator and freezer.
Just forward of the lazarette, in keeping with the (welcome) trend of laying out large engine spaces onboard megayachts, Hargrave gave Missy B a room that handily houses two Caterpillar 3412s, two Onan gensets--including a 45-kW night unit instead of a smaller-capacity genset--and ample space between the powerplants to walk between them and access major maintenance points. The twin 1,400-hp Caterpillars permit a 16-knot top speed. While that may sound slow in this get-there-fast day and age, it makes sense in light of the 125-ton displacement and is also in keeping with the late Jack Hargrave's philosophy of emphasizing seaworthiness over speed. Throttled back to a 12-knot cruise and given the upgraded fuel tankage of 5,000 gallons, Missy B enjoys a 2,000-mile range, permitting a nonstop Florida-to-Maine voyage.
And that's virtually what the Burrows did upon delivery in May, with a layover in New York City in late June to entertain a near-constant stream of family and friends, including members of the Hargrave staff. Missy B remained in town long enough to provide them all with a front-row anchorage for the grand Fourth of July fireworks display over New York Harbor.
Which just goes to show that some things are worth the wait after all.
