Going to take a break from logging my miles here. Let's just say I'm running a lot and leave it at that. Keeping weekly mileage over 60 but started tapering after last Sundays long run for my marathon on March 30th. I have a 20k race I'm running this coming weekend and not really sure what kind of effort I want put into it. Do I try and blast a good one or keep it mild and try to hold 6:30's for a good tempo run? I don't really want to trash my legs for the marathon the following weekend. This is the first time I've run this 20k in about 8 or 9 years.. It's literaly in my backyard so I kind of feel obligated. For about 7 years now, I've always rode my bike out to the race and paced the leaders and took pictures. I'm very intimate with the course as I run on it all the time during training. Hills for the first 2-1/2 miles then it flattens out until about mile 7 where run another short hill then turn around and back the same direction you came. Around mile 10 you break off from the route out and head north back to the starting line which is all flat.
This is a profile of the race course from mapmyrun.com. Although this profile shows it being quite hilly, it really isn't. This will be a good test of my fitness and to see what I might run the marathon in. After the race, I'll plug in the numbers to Daniels VDOT table and McMillan's calculator to see where I fall. My legs feel very good this week as I've been able to get outside more and more as the weather starts to warm-up. Maybe it's a physcological, but I always seem to be more relaxed and run smoother outside than on the treadmill. A 7:00 pace seems almost effortless versus a 7:00 pace on the treadmill. I should really start wearing my HRM more often outside and compare results at the same speed.. Enough rambling for now!

Mario and Luigi: Superstar Saga Edit
One day, Princess Peach met with a Goodwill Ambassador from the Beanbean Kingdom at her castle. Much to the kingdom's surprise, the meeting was really an extensive plot to steal Princess Peach's voice. The perpetrator was an evil witch named Cackletta with whom the Beanbean Kingdom had been grappling with for years. Luckily, this attack had been forseen by Prince Peasley of the Beanbean Kingdom. He wasted no time in alerting Peach of the situation. A Birdo agreed to disguise herself as the princess and stand in for her on the day of the attack. The Birdo's voice was stolen by the witch and replaced with an explosive vocabulary. Every time she spoke, the Birdo would cause explosions in the castle. Bowser arrived shortly after the attack to kidnap Peach, but finding the disguised Birdo, he instead lent Mario and Luigi a hand in defeating Cackletta. The trio set off for the Beanbean Kingdom.
Yet, Peach could not travel to the Beanbean Kingdom to notify her heroes of her true situation due to Cackletta's invasion. As soon as she received word of Cackletta's death at the hands of the Mario Bros., she rushed out to greet them. Almost immediately, she was kidnapped by Bowletta, who was truly Bowser possessed by Cackletta's disembodied spirit. After a long battle in the Beanbean Kingdom, the brothers were able to save the Peach and defeat Cackletta by destroying her spirit. Bowser was saved in the process.
Mario and Luigi: Partners in TimeEditYears ago, the Mushroom Kingdom was invaded and conquered by a race of aliens known as the Shroobs. Growing tired of life on the toxic, barren Planet Shroob, they discovered the Mushroom Kingdom, and set out to conquer it using their expansive military.
One of the first targets was Princess Peach's Castle. The Shroobs began to set base there after a brief encounter with the future Princess Peach, who had traveled back in time via a Time Machine. The princess trapped the Elder Princess Shroob inside the Cobalt Star, which powered the machine. Peach then destroyed the artifact and spread the Cobalt Star Shards throughout the kingdom. The rest of the invasion and the search for the Shards was carried out by Princess Shroob, the elder's younger sister.
As the Shroob invasion spread, the citizens of the Mushroom Kingdom fled, leaving entire towns, such as Toad Town, nearly desolate. A number of unfortunate Toads were captured and brought to Toadwood Forest, where their vim was sucked out of them to create fuel for the Shroobs' war fleet of Shroob UFOs.
The Mushroom Kingdom was saved by Mario and Luigi, then Baby Mario and Baby Luigi, and their future selves. During the storm of Shroob Castle, previously known as Princess Peach's Castle, the younger Princess Shroob was defeated. The Elder Princess Shroob escaped from the Cobalt Star as a result of the reunion of the Shards, was defeated, and then was taken to the future in the form of a purple Mushroom. A stream of baby tears came through the Time Holes from the future and destroyed the handywork of the Shroobs, returning the kingdom and its inhabitants to their previous state. However, the physical destruction remained. The kingdom began reconstruction, finishing at a later date.

Affordable education. Transparent science. Accessible scholarship.
These ideals are slowly becoming a reality thanks to the open education, open science, and open access movements. Running separate—if parallel—courses, they all share a philosophy of equity, progress, and justice. This book shares the stories, motives, insights, and practical tips from global leaders in the open movement.Book Details
In 2010 the Panton Principles for Open Data in Science were published. These principles were founded upon the idea that Science is based on building on, reusing and openly criticising the published body of scientific knowledge' (http://pantonprinciples.org) and they provide a succinct list of the fundamentals to observe when making your data open. Intended for a broad audience of academics, publishers and librarians, Issues in Research Data explores the implications of the Panton Principles through a number of perspectives on open research data in the sciences and beyond.
The book features chapters by open data experts in a range of academic disciplines, covering practical information on licensing, ethics, and advice for data curators, alongside more theoretical issues surrounding the adoption of open data. As the book is open access, each chapter can stand alone from the main volume so that communities can host, distribute, build upon and remix the content that is relevant to them. Readers can access the online version via the QR code or DOI link at the front of the book.Book Details
Why do we think differently from one another?
Why do religious people adhere to their faith even against reason, whilst atheist thinkers label it "nonsense"?
Why do some judges turn more to moral values and others less?
Why do we attach different meanings to the same words?
These questions can be tackled on psychological or sociological levels, but we can also analyze the subjects on the epistemological level. That is the purpose of this book, with Thoughts and Ways of Thinking offering Source Theory as a single explanation for epistemic processes and their religious, legal and linguistic derivatives. With this unified theory, old doubts are framed in new perspectives, and some of them even find their solution.

Rugby Fitness components Metabolic conditioning Metabolic conditioning refers to the ability of the energy systems to produce the necessary energy for a player to perform throughout the game. It can be divided into the main factors of aerobic power, anaerobic power and lactate tolerance. Aerobic Power Aerobic power is the ability to produce energy through the aerobic slow energy system. As explained previously the aerobic slow system predominantly supplies energy for exercise lasting over 90 seconds in duration and is vital in the recovery process from repeated bouts high intensity exercise. A well-developed aerobic slow system results in less lactic acid being produced at a given exercise intensity due to the reduced demand on the anaerobic medium system. The aerobic slow system has great importance in removing lactic acid from the body. The greater the aerobic power the more efficiently it can clear lactic acid and therefore allow exercise to be performed at a higher level. Anaerobic Power The ability of the anaerobic systems to produce energy is referred to as an athlete's anaerobic power. You will recall that anaerobic energy is produced in two ways. Through the anaerobic fast system, which is the major contributor for the first 0 - 10 seconds of exercise and secondly through the anaerobic medium system which supplies energy at the beginning of exercise, being the major provider for the first ninety seconds. The system is also used in longer durations where the demand for energy is too large for the aerobic system to handle alone. Intermittent bouts of high intensity exercise e.g. repeated sprints with rests in between also rely heavily on this system. An athlete who has strong anaerobic power is able to sustain higher intensity levels and perform more intense sprints without suffering from undue fatigue. Lactate tolerance. As discussed earlier lactic acid is the by-product of the chemical reactions within the anaerobic medium system. The build up of lactic acid interferes and impairs the muscles ability to contract. Lactate tolerance is the main fatiguing factor for most team sports. Through correct training of this attribute the body adapts to functioning in the acidic environment therefore resisting fatigue more efficiently during exercise.
Strength Strength can be defined as the maximum force produced at a specific velocity (speed). The definition refers to the element of how quickly a force is applied. The speed a force is applied is an important yet often overlooked element of strength. Traditionally strength is perceived as the ability to move the heaviest
weight possible. However, the force- velocity relationship states that this is just one aspect within the overall picture. It can be seen that it takes around 0.8 sec to produce maximum force e.g. lift the heaviest weight you can handle or push as hard as possible in a scrum. Many movements in sport are performed in around 0.2 seconds or less e.g. kicking, sprinting, passing, punching etc. In this time scale there is not sufficient duration for maximum force to be applied e.g. in sprinting the foot has left the floor after 0.2 sec, therefore any strength produced after this point cannot be used as the foot is in the air. The application of time to strength production means strength is classified as either slow speed maximum strength (~ 0.8sec) or fast speed strength.(~ 0.2 sec) Slow-speed strength. Slow speed strength is also referred to as maximum strength. It is the maximum amount of force that can be produced e.g. the most force you can push with during a ruck or maul. This is an important aspect in rugby where the player who holds the greater maximum strength will often prove dominant in contact situations. The ability to produce maximum strength is related to: Muscle size - The greater the size of the muscles the greater the amount of fibres there are to contract and hence the greater the potential for more force to be produced. Neuromuscular co-ordination - The brains abilities to recruit as much of the agonist muscles as possible while relaxing the antagonist muscles to allow the movement. This is the biggest influence on your strength. Fast-speed strength. Fast-speed strength, or just speed strength is defined as the force produced at high velocities. It is the force produced in around 0.2 sec or less. Training for speed strength increases the amount of force the athlete can produce within this 0.2sec timeframe. Neuromuscular co-ordination - The bodies ability to co-ordinate the agonist, antagonists and stabilisers to produce a fast, efficient and forceful movement. Core strength This can be defined as the strength of the muscles around the mid section that stabilise the hips and spine during movement. Strong core strength is essential to performance as it holds the body still which allows full force transfer. For example, when tackling a player you hit them with your shoulder. A strong core would allow all the force in your legs to be transmitted through into your shoulder and onto the opponent. A weak core would not transmit anywhere near the same force and you could see you body buckle and collapse under the pressure often resulting in a missed tackle. Speed Speed in its simplest terms is the time it takes to cover a distance. It is a product of stride length and stride frequency. The winner over a certain
distance is deemed the fastest e.g. the winner of Olympic 100m final is deemed the fastest man/women in the world. In rugby, as in other sports, speed is found to be more complex than first appears being made up of three different components: Acceleration - The time it takes to go from a standing or slow speed to maximum or higher speed. It takes between 20 - 50m to reach top speed, with elite Olympic sprinters attaining maximum speed at around 50m while novices needing just 20m. The ability to accelerate is heavily influenced by strength and neuro-muscular co-ordination. Maximum speed - The maximum velocity (speed) that can be achieved. The maximum top speed displayed by an athlete is dependent upon neuromuscular co-ordination and the legs fast speed strength. Speed endurance - The ability to maintain maximum speed or the ability to repeatedly perform successive sprints at the same speed. Speed endurance is dependent upon the metabolic conditioning of the anaerobic fast and medium systems Quickness - The ability to move a body part at the highest possible velocity. This is important in many sports such as boxing, racket sports or throwing events where the speed the arms are moved having a large impact on performance. In rugby quickness is important for passing and kicking the ball or in throwing a fake directional move e.g. side-step. It is closely related to neuromuscular co-ordination and speed strength. The three components of speed means you need different strengths dependent upon the distance being run. e.g. the winner of a 50m race will be the one with a greater acceleration while the 200m favours those with a greater ability for speed endurance. Repeated sprint speed endurance is important in team sports as players are often required to sprint under conditions of fatigue. Agility Agility is the ability to explosively stop, change direction and accelerate again. It encompasses movements in non- linear directions, e.g. backward, diagonal running etc, as opposed to just straight line speed. Agility is a crucial requirement in rugby and most team sports as movements more often than not are multidirectional. The player who can change his speed and direction the most effectively will more often than not prove superior. Agility is determined by the athlete's fast speed strength in all movement directions and the body's neuromuscular co-ordination of the muscles involved. Active flexibility. This refers to the amount of movement you can actively produce around a joint. For optimal force production the body needs to be able to stretch to certain lengths so that the muscles are in an ideal position to produce the most force. A players active flexibility depends upon static flexibility and how warmed up the player is, e.g. you would have better active flexibility in the evening than the morning.

Like another Notification from the IRS,, Internal Revenue Service Notice CP-22A is a notice sent by mail to you by the IRS to let you understand that you currently owe money to the IRS. A CP 22A is sent to advise individuals that the Internal Revenue Service made one or more modifications to their 1040 series U.S. Individual Tax Return, resulting in that person owing a balance of a minimum of $5 when the account was not in Taxpayer Delinquent Account (TDA) status before the adjustment was made or when the account is going to Taxpayer Delinquent Account status in the existing cycle. IRS Notice CP-22A will break down the updates that were done that resulted in you owing Tax Debt, and it will request full payment of the new financial obligation. When you receive IRS Notification CP22A in the mail, this guide will break down exactly what you should do to ward off or remove Tax Debt issues.

This is not the first big tax bill that Marc has acquired, for he was slapped with a $2.5 million tax debt in 2007 after going four years without paying his taxes.
Tax resolution experts are good at their task. Don't let the fact that you owe back taxes set you in a tailspin. There are options, as we have gone over, for getting out of this. Take action today, since I can ensure that the Irs is not going to give up, even if you seem like stopping!
Tax Attorneys
The majority of individuals who have money returning might fall under the above limits. If so, although you might not be lawfully required to submit, by doing so, you will be qualified to get any Federal Withholdings back. Given that none of your earnings is taxable, you will be reimbursed all your withholdings that might have been secured for Federal taxes. You would likely be qualified for a state refund also for the very same reason.
When we talk about this tax debt relief Choice, we do not suggest that a person day you awaken from bed and choose to visit the office of the lender. There, you simply go ask them to decrease the quantity that is due on you. You simply tell them that if they will not act upon your offer, you will file for insolvency. This is not the method to do it. Actually it looks easy in words but in truth it is quite various. If you go and negotiate yourself then there are a great deal of possibilities that you are going to suffer more instead of doing any helpful for yourself. Then employing a financial obligation settlement company is the ideal method to pick, if you desire to follow a correct method.
Pre -foreclosure homes are likewise another method to acquire underestimated homes. These are properties that will go into foreclosure but the sellers are still attempting to offer it through Realtors or on their own. If it is noted by a Real estate agent, a lot of times they will have a little extra indication saying "pre-foreclosure" so buyers know the circumstance. The purchaser can conserve a significant amount with settlements because of the feelings involved with saving somebody from entering into complete foreclosure.

Do not let anxiety sluggish you from doing something about it. When the Internal Revenue Service comes calling for back taxes, you should act rapidly to secure yourself. Fines, fees, and interest add up quick and can quickly be running higher than you originally owed. Don't simply sit back and wait for the Irs to act. Act, too.
On a less favorable note, Congress and President Bush also assigned more loan to the Internal Revenue Service to carry out audits. Loan was also increased to pay whistleblowers who report taxpayers, especially companies, that are playing funny with the money.
In Closing
In the end, after you've done all your research here and have actually identified you have actually discovered a fantastic home, the bank may decide that they won't get a great sufficient price and my just action in and buy it anyhow. Probably the most important thing you can do here is to do your research study. That method you should be able to decrease the risk you take. All the best and pleased bidding.

Primary Care Corner with Geoffrey Modest MD: FDA Warnings Fluoroquinolones, Aripiprazole, Olanzapine
31 May, 16 | by EBM
By Dr. Geoffrey Modest
The FDA has sent out several Drug Safety warnings in the past few weeks.
- Fluoroquinolones
- Given the widespread reports of adverse effects of fluoroquinolones, the FDA issued a report in 2013 requiring a label change (see http://www.fda.gov/Drugs/DrugSafety/ucm365050.htm ). Specifically, they noted an association with disabling peripheral neuropathy (with the onset of peripheral neuropathy often within a few days of starting the fluoroquinolone, and ongoing symptoms for more than a year in some patients, long after stopping the med).
- There already were labels warning about risks of tendinitis, tendon rupture, CNS effects, exacerbations of myasthenia gravis, QTc prolongation/torsades, phototoxicity, and hypersensitivity (and I did send one patient to the ICU with anaphylaxis from ciprofloxacin around 15 years ago)
- The actual warning from 5/12/16 states that the FDA "is advising that the serious side effects associated with fluoroquinolone antibacterial drugs generally outweigh the benefits for patients with sinusitis, bronchitis, and uncomplicated urinary tract infections who have other treatment options". See http://www.fda.gov/downloads/Drugs/DrugSafety/UCM500591.pdf .
- Aripiprazole
- The FDA just issued a safety alert for aripiprazole (goes by trade name Abilify). See http://www.fda.gov/downloads/Drugs/DrugSafety/UCM498825.pdf. This medication has FDA approved indications for treating schizophrenia, bipolar disorder, Tourette's disorder, and irritability associated with autistic disorder. It is also used (and apparently advertised widely on TV) in combination with antidepressants to treat depression. The FDA is warning that it might be associated with compulsive or uncontrollable urges to gamble, binge eat, shop, and have sex. And these urges desist on stopping the drug or with dose reduction. But 4 cases had a return to this behavior with rechallenge. They do note that these impulse-control problems are rare (184 case reports since 2002, though there are apparently 1.6 million patients on the drug), with pathological gambling being the most common. The recommendation is just that we and patients be alert to this possibility. And we should closely monitor patients at higher risk for impulse-control problems, including personal/family history of obsessive-compulsive disorder, impulse-control disorder, bipolar disorder, impulsive personality, alcoholism, drug abuse, or other addictive behaviors. But in most cases there was no prior history of compulsive behaviors overall, and none had a history of pathological gambling, compulsive sexual behavior, binge eating, or compulsive shopping prior to taking aripiprazole.
- On reading about aripiprazole it is quite remarkable the array/diversity of actions it has: (per com) — "Aripiprazole exhibits high affinity for dopamine D2and D3, serotonin 5-HT1A and 5-HT2A receptors, moderate affinity for dopamine D4, serotonin 5-HT2C and 5-HT7, alpha1-adrenergic and histamine H1 receptors, and moderate affinity for the serotonin reuptake site. Aripiprazole functions as a partial agonist at the dopamine D2 and the serotonin 5-HT1A receptors, and as an antagonist at serotonin 5-HT2A receptor.]" It is certainly true that many CNS-active drugs have multiple effects on multiple neurotransmitters, leading to many of their attendant adverse effects, though aripiprazole outdoes seem to outdo some of the others.
- Olanzapine
- The FDA issued a drug safety communication about olanzapine and DRESS syndrome (see http://www.fda.gov/Safety/MedWatch/SafetyInformation/SafetyAlertsforHumanMedicalProducts/ucm500123.htm ).
- DRESS syndrome (Drug Reaction with Eosinophilia and Systemic Symptoms) often starts as a rash that spreads to all parts of the body, and includes 3 or more of: rash, eosinophilia, fever, lymphadenopathy, and systemic complications (hepatitis, myocarditis, pericarditis, nephritis, pancreatitis, pneumonitis), and often occurs after a long latency of 2-8 weeks after drug exposure. there is a 10% mortality rate
- 23 cases of DRESS have been reported since 1996. One patient has died.
So, as with all FDA reports, these cases likely significantly underestimate the true incidence of problems, since in a busy clinical session, it is difficult/time-consuming to report the adverse events. But it is important for us as clinicians to know about these potential issues. The most important one for us is the fluoroquinolone advisory. As many blogs and articles have articulated: many too many antibiotics are being used for non-bacterial infections (bronchitis, sinusitis…), and there has been a very unfortunate shift to using more broad-spectrum and resistance-producing antibiotics (more azithromycin for strep, etc., than narrower antibiotics like penicillin). And I think many of us do still use ciprofloxacin for uncomplicated urinary tract infections.
See http://blogs.bmj.com/ebm/2015/08/03/primary-care-corner-with-geoffrey-modest-md-antibiotic-overprescribing-2/ for studies on antibiotic overprescribing and their consequences

Kids with cancer inspire others, find ways to cope, hope, offer help
A cancer diagnosis can be devastating, but there is always a bright side.
That fact is pointed out again and again in a new book, "What Makes Them Amazing: Inspiring Stories of Young Adults Fighting Cancer," by Janine De Tillio Cammarata of Clifton Park.
Cammarata lost her son, Nick, to cancer in 2008 at age 13. Although his death brought with it overwhelming grief, Cammarata and her family have also been graced with many gifts as a result of the journey.
Where to buy
• "What Makes Them Amazing: Inspiring Stories of Young Adults Fighting Cancer" will be on sale at The Melodies of Christmas show at Proctors today, Friday and Saturday, before the 7 p.m. show, during intermission and after the show; and also Sunday before the 3 p.m. show, during intermission and after the show.
• It can also be purchased at MochaLisa's Caffe, The Meat House and East Line Books, all in Clifton Park, as well as online at www.fighttobehealed.org.
Join Nick's Round Table
Any teen in sixth grade or above can be a part of the group, which provides support for teens with cancer. For more information, visit www.fighttobehealed.org or call 877-8211.
Nine of those gifts — local teens and young adults fighting cancer who have come into her life — are featured in "What Makes Them Amazing." That number includes her son.
Convinced that their stories would be of benefit to others, Cammarata set out to record them in her book.
One chapter is devoted to each young person — their struggle with cancer, and what makes them each amazing.
"I was really struck by their strength and their determination to live their lives as they wanted, but also how they wanted to give back to their peers with cancer," Cammarata said.
Despite their diagnoses, the young people have gone on to volunteer in the community and to offer comfort and support to other children fighting cancer.
Cammarata aims to give back as well — all proceeds generated from the book will be donated to the Melodies Center for Childhood Cancer and Blood Disorders at Albany Medical Center.
The book opens with the story of Sammie Sagnelli of Clifton Park, a bubbly 14-year-old freshman at Shenendehowa High School. She was diagnosed in 2008 with stage three non-Hodgkin's lymphoma, after it was discovered that she had a massive tumor growing at the back of her skull.
"I was so young, 9 at the time, and I didn't really know what cancer even was," she admitted. "I knew it was a disease, but couldn't really be afraid of it. I just thought that people go through this."
Sammie went through months of chemotherapy, which weakened her body and made her hair fall out.
The path to recovery was no picnic, and there were "a lot of bumps in the road." But she doesn't like to dwell on the dark side of cancer.
"I know it's kind of weird to say I'm thankful for my cancer, because it's a horrible thing, but though it did happen to me, so many good things came out of it," she said.
The experience offered her an opportunity to help other families who are living with cancer and has motivated her to volunteer.
"I feel like it just gave me a whole new perspective on life, and that you should never take it for granted," Sammie said. "I think it's even just helped me mature a little bit and face challenges."
Cancer has also taught her to be kind to strangers.
"You don't know what they're going through," she pointed out.
Sammie shares her story at fund-raisers and banquets, and on the radio. She's also vice president of Nick's Round Table, a teen-run offshoot of the Nick's Fight to be Healed Foundation, which Cammarata and her family started after Nick died. The organization provides emotional and financial support for teenagers fighting cancer.
Members of Nick's Round Table visit teenage cancer patients at the Melodies Center and bring them personalized "comfort bags" filled with gifts that match their interests.
Benjamin Mayo, who is also featured in Cammarata's book, is a member of Nick's Round Table.
The 15-year-old Halfmoon resident is a 10th-grader at Shenendehowa. He loves drawing and his sense of humor is quick to surface.
Benjamin was diagnosed with a malignant brain tumor when he was 12 years old.
"I was a weird little kid, so I didn't really know what it meant," he said in a phone interview, a smile evident in his voice.
In his young life, he's been through brain surgery, proton beam therapy, chemotherapy, physical therapy and occupational therapy.
Benjamin's cancer is now in remission, but he is still dealing with the side effects of treatment.
The battle has been tough, but his friends and family keep him going, he said.
Some good things have come out of having cancer too, he observed. "It's definitely made me wiser in ways I can't really explain."
Having cancer also provided him with the opportunity to meet a lot of nice people, including his doctor, "Doctor Ed."
A member of the Boy Scouts since first grade, Benjamin has always been an active volunteer with his troop, but after his diagnosis, he began to focus his efforts on the cancer community. He has been involved in the American Cancer Society's Relay for Life and has used his artwork to raise awareness about cancer.
He'd also like to have a part in eradicating the disease.
Until that cure is found, Benjamin has some words of wisdom for those traveling the road he's been on: "It's tough, I guess, but you'll definitely look back on it and think that it's helped you a little bit. Even though it's done a lot to you in negative ways, it also provides positive stuff."

The doors to our church opened Sunday morning to welcome six beautiful children. Six cousins — five girls and one boy. Ranging in age from about 3-11 years.
Dressed in their finest. Excited, engaging, exuberant!
The cousins came to celebrate the christening and baptism of their brand new cousin, a baby boy.
They took seats on the front row, not wanting to miss a thing.
As I watched them, I became fascinated by their well behaved demeanor. Their excitement was on the surface, but well contained.
Following the christening and baptism and the children's sermon, they returned to their front row seats. They had received activity packets — our effort to help parents keep busy children busy.
The two older girls immediately became leaders and helped the younger ones to the floor in front of their seats.
Each one became a beehive of activity engaged in creating something wonderful on this highly important family day.
What I observed reminded me of the Scripture found in Matthew 18:3 (NIV):
and become like little children, you will never enter the kingdom of heaven."
487. New babies in God's Kingdom.
488. Restful time at home.
489. Insights into my writing from an encouraging blogger's post.
490. My friends who have supported me virtually and real time.
491. Healing for our friend who recently underwent colon cancer surgery.
492. Joy of preparing meals for a church family.
493. Experiencing the love of young families in our church.
492. Lives given in service for our country and freedoms.
493. Active military personnel in Afghanistan and other posts in our world.

Age is a peculiar thing; a concept both abstract and definitive, which blurs the line between knowledge and truth. As humans grow older, they live, they learn, and they develop an understanding of the world. However, that understanding is molded into shape by those who have come before them: men and women who have become disillusioned, disenchanted, and disenthralled by the very same ideas that they then pass on. When people are young, they are open to all things, they have not yet been told what not to believe. Then, they reach a certain age, and they are taught that magic isn't real. They are told that the rules of the universe are dictated by science, math, and facts—by knowledge.
Just because you know something though, does not necessarily make it true. The world is not as cut-and-dry as most adults would have their young believe. The real fact of the matter is that children are closer to the truth than most adults will ever be again. Take, for instance, young Jimmy McArthur and his imaginary friend.
Jimmy was a bright boy with loving parents, but he had always had trouble fitting in with other children his age. For as long as he could recall, he had always felt more at home in a picture book than on a playground. The world of fantasy simply spoke to him in ways that the real world could not. As a result, he was often very lonely. His parents would set up play dates and enroll him in activities, but try as they might it was no easy feat to find another four-year-old who would rather read a book than climb a jungle gym.
Even when Jimmy started preschool, he had difficulty communicating with the other students. In fact, rather than making friends the opposite seemed to be true. The boys and girls in the class would call him names, and snicker at him behind his back. This led to Jimmy becoming increasingly isolated from the children around him. The universe though, for those who are still in tune with it, has a way of compensating for such things.
One night, as Jimmy lay in his bed drifting off to sleep, he heard a noise. Now, Jimmy was a brave child. Having spent his short life wrapped up in stories and fairy tales, he knew several tales of fearless knights, and mighty heroes who had looked evil in the eye and laughed. If his heroes could be brave then so could he, so he ignored the noise. This particular noise though, did not want to be ignored…so it repeated itself.
Bump, went the noise. Jimmy laid stock still. He would not give it the satisfaction of letting it see him sweat.
Bump, bump, this time louder. Jimmy continued to ignore it, and for a moment the noise subsided.
And then, even louder and faster than before, bump, bump, bump, bump, bump, bump, bump!
Jimmy shot into a sitting position, and scanned across his messy room, lit only by a dim nightlight. "Who's there?" the young boy called. "I'm not a'scared a you!"
But there was no reply. As such, Jimmy was convinced that he had scared the noise off. Quite proud of himself, he laid back down and rolled over to make himself comfortable. When he did so, however, it was not his wall that he saw, as he normally would. Instead, less than an inch away from his face was the face of another young boy. At first, Jimmy thought that he was just seeing things, so he closed his eyes tight and counted aloud to three.
When he opened his eyes once more, he was relieved to find that the other boy was no longer there. Still, he was no longer quite so fond of this position, so he rolled over yet again. His relief would turn out to be short-lived. There, sitting at the edge of his bed, was the same little boy who had been uncomfortably close to his face only a few seconds before. Jimmy stared at the boy, dumbfounded.
"Hi," said the boy with a large grin set on his freckled face.
"AHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!" Jimmy screamed. He may have been brave, but he was not stupid. It was not normal for another person to appear in a closed room out of nowhere.
Jimmy, though short on friends, had the best parents that any child could possibly ever ask for. Upon hearing their child scream such a chilling scream, Christian and Penelope McArthur immediately threw themselves up from their bed and dashed to his room.
"What happened, Baby?" asked Jimmy's mother, Penelope. "Is everything alright?" Although her wavy blonde hair was in a disheveled state, she was no less beautiful than always. Her soft, green eyes and gentle demeanor always managed to put Jimmy at ease.
"There was a person here," Jimmy informed her through a stifled sniffle. He had to do his best to maintain a brave face. "It was another kid."
His parents exchanged soft, concerned glances, and then his father set about the room. He looked in all of the usual places of interest. He checked in the closet, and under the bed, and even through the window. No matter where he searched though, there was no trace of anybody in the room except for him, his wife, and Jimmy. When he was thoroughly convinced that they were all alone, he sat down next to his son and placed a broad hand on the child's shoulder.
"There's no one else here, Champ. It's just me, you, and your mom," He promised Jimmy as he ran his free hand through his sandy brown hair. Christian McArthur had the kindest blue eyes that anybody could possibly have. They were almost always happy, but tonight they were downcast. "You probably just had a bad dream."
"But it wasn't a dream!" Jimmy pleaded.
Kind and gentle as they were though, Christian and Penelope were still adults. As such, this meant that they were too set in their reality to know what was truly real. As far as they were concerned, the window had been latched and the door had been closed. There was no way that there was anybody in this room except for their son.
"I promise, Baby," said Penelope, "there's no one else here. You're safe, okay?"
"…Kay," Jimmy agreed hesitantly. He wasn't entirely so certain, but if his parents thought he was safe then he would believe them. He trusted them, and his trust was well-placed.
Christian and Penelope had never lied to their son. He was the most important thing in the world to them. They did, however, worry about him. And ever since he had started preschool, they had been worrying more than ever. His teacher had informed them of how withdrawn Jimmy was from the rest of the class, and of how difficult it had been for him to make friends. They had always known that Jimmy was different than other children his age, and they loved him all the more for it. But they did not want their son to walk through his childhood alone.
Penelope walked over to her only child, placed a gentle hand on each of his cheeks, and planted a soft kiss on his forehead. "You know that your father and I love you, right Jimmy?"
Her son nodded.
"And you know that we'll always be here for you, no matter what?" Christian asked.
Jimmy nodded again.
"Good," Penelope smiled. "I promise you, Jimmy, we're never, ever going to let anything bad happen to you. Okay?"
"Kay," Jimmy agreed. And he knew that they were telling the truth, because that was the only thing that they had ever told him.
"I love you, kid," said Christian, tousling his son's hair as he stood back up.
"I love you too," said Jimmy.
With that, his parents gave him a big, warm hug, kissed him goodnight once more, and were on their way. They made sure to close the door behind them to assure Jimmy that nobody else could get in without opening it.
At ease once more, Jimmy pulled his blanket up to his chin, and smiled. Regardless of anything else that had happened, there was solace in the fact that he had the best parents in the whole world.
"Wow," said a small voice from the corner of his bed. "You know, you're really lucky to have parents who love you so much."
Jimmy shot into a sitting position once again, but this time he did not scream. "You're not real," he said bluntly. "Mommy and Daddy said so."
"'Course I'm real," said the red-headed little boy. His grin was even wider than it had been before. "Don't worry, your parents didn't lie to you. They just can't see me is all. But if I wasn't real, then how would I be talking to you right now?"
Jimmy thought about it for a second, but could not think of an answer to that question. Instead, he just asked, "Who are you?"
"I'm your friend, Jimmy," the little boy told him. "Or, at least I want to be. Will you let me?"
Jimmy stared hard at the other boy. He knew that it wasn't possible for someone to just appear into an empty room, yet there he was. And it didn't seem like he meant him any harm. He was just sitting there, smiling his wide, toothy smile. Jimmy leaned in closer to examine him. The other boy did not so much as flinch. Instead, he simply smiled and allowed himself to be examined.
He certainly sounded real, and he definitely looked real. He poked him, and pulled at his freckled cheeks. He felt real too. Then, he smelled him. He smelled like…
"You smell like strawberries," said Jimmy. Strawberries were his favorite snack.
"I do?" the other boy asked, sniffing his own shirt. "Hey, I guess I do. You must really like strawberries, huh?"
"Yeah…" Jimmy said carefully.
"You see, Jimmy, I am totally and completely yours. I can be whatever you want me to be. Watch, close your eyes and try."
"Hmmm," Jimmy hummed. He closed his eyes tight, and dug deep into his imagination. When he opened them again, he could not help but gasp in sheer awe. There, standing before him, was a little boy wearing the same kind of armor as one of the knights in his stories. It was just as he had imagined. He closed his eyes tight again, and when he opened them there stood the red-headed little boy once more, twiddling the plume from the armor's helmet between his fingers.
"Do you believe me yet?" the boy asked, tossing the voluminous feather aside.
"…What's your name?" Jimmy asked him. This seemed to please the other boy.
"It's whatever you want it to be," he replied.
Jimmy thought for a moment. When he did, the first thing that came to mind was the noise he had heard earlier; the one that the strange boy had made when he had first appeared.
Bump, bump, bump…
"You're Bump," Jimmy decided.
"Bump…" The little boy repeated, rolling it over on his tongue. "Bump…I like it!"
Both boys grinned at each other. For some reason, Jimmy was sure that he could trust Bump. He gave the other boy a warm embrace. He had never had a friend before. Though Bump was caught off guard, eventually, he hugged his new friend back.
"It's time to go to sleep now, Jimmy," said Bump.
Jimmy released his grip on the boy, and looked him straight in his big, brown eyes. "Will you be here tomorrow?" he asked.
"I will," said Bump. "You have my word. And knights never break their word, do they?"
"No," Jimmy agreed. "They don't."
"Exactly," said Bump. "Now go to bed. I'll still be here when you wake up. I promise."
And Jimmy believed him. So he laid down and finally drifted off to sleep, with a smile on his face that was almost as big as the one on Bump's.
When Jimmy woke up the next morning, he was pleased to find that Bump had been true to his word. The other boy was there, just as he had said he would be. Even though nobody could see him but Jimmy, Jimmy still knew that he was at his side. That was all that mattered.
From that day forward, the two friends were inseparable. Wherever Jimmy went, Bump followed. Whenever Jimmy was scared, or nervous, or felt out of place, Bump reassured him. Jimmy was more confident, more at ease, and less detached than ever before. Even his classmates took notice. For the first time, Jimmy was making friends. It was all thanks to Bump. It was the happiest time in young Jimmy's life, not to mention a colossal weight off the backs of his loving parents. For more than a year, Bump was Jimmy's unwavering wing man. They learned together, grew together, even went on adventures together.
As Jimmy became more confident, he grew to the point where he and Bump could spend periods of time apart without him worrying about whether or not his friend would come back. He knew that whenever he needed him, Bump would be there. Bump was always there…until the day that he wasn't.
One day, when he got out of school, Jimmy waited for his parents to pick him up, as they always did. He waited, and waited for them…but they were late. This was odd, because they were never late. They were both writers, so they worked from home. This meant that they were free to spend as much time with their son as they wanted, and that they always picked him up on time. Jimmy thought nothing of it though. He was sure that there was a good reason. They would be there. In the meantime, he would just play with Bump. However, for the first time, his friend did not appear when he called out for him.
"Bump!" he called out. There was no answer though. "Bump?" Still nothing…he must be busy. So, Jimmy continued waiting…and waiting…and waiting, until he was the last child left on the campus.
After waiting a little longer, the principal eventually came out. Normally, Principal Biel was a strict, staunch woman. But today, she had a soft smile on her face. What was even stranger was that the smile seemed almost…sad. "Can you come with me, Jimmy?" she asked.
"I gotta wait for my parents," Jimmy told her.
"Jimmy…please?" the principal asked.
"But they'll be here soon," said Jimmy. "They're just late."
"Jimmy…please come with me?" the principal asked again.
As she said this, a tear trailed down her wrinkled cheek. Jimmy had never seen the principal cry before. Maybe she was sad, and she just needed a friend; like he had before he had met Bump. So he followed her. He was sure that his parents would understand. They had always taught him to be friendly to others when they needed it.
When they got to the principal's office, they both sat in the waiting room. Principal Biel did not say anything. "Are you okay, Miss Biel?" Jimmy asked.
The white-haired old woman looked down at him softly. "I'm…I'm okay, Jimmy," she said.
"Are you sure?" he asked.
Principal Biel attempted to answer once more, but this time she broke into tears. Jimmy didn't know what was wrong, but he knew that she needed a hug. Whenever he was sad, his parents always gave him hugs. So, he hugged her, and she hugged him back. And for an indeterminable amount of time they just sat there, hugging. After a while, the door to the office opened, and Jimmy turned to see who it was, expecting for his parents to be there. Instead though, he saw his Aunt Clarice, and his Uncle Bobby. They looked a mess. Bobby was wearing two different shoes, as though he had dressed in a hurry, and Clarice's makeup was cutting a line from her eyes down each of her cheeks.
"Hey, Buddy," said Bobby. Bobby was Jimmy's favorite uncle. He was always smiling, and laughing, and telling silly jokes. There wasn't a mean bone in his entire body. Today though, he seemed different. Today, he was quiet, somber, serious. " Can…can I talk to you for a sec?" he asked Jimmy. As he asked this, his shoulders shook, and his voice cracked, but he did not cry.
"Are you okay, Uncle Bobby?" Jimmy asked. Everyone seemed to be sad today, and he was not sure why. As he asked his question, his Aunt Clarice broke into a sob, and ran from the room.
"Buddy, we…we need to talk," Bobby told him, his eyes now glossy.
Jimmy nodded…but first, there was another question he needed to ask. "Uncle Bobby…where are Mommy and Daddy?"
The question was too much for his uncle to bear, and the normally strong man collapsed against the wall behind him, sliding down into a sitting position. Jimmy got out of his seat, and took a tentative step towards his uncle.
"…Uncle Bobby?" he addressed him.
"Oh God," Bobby sobbed. "I…I don't even know how to say this. I don't…I don't…"
"Mister McArthur…" Principal Biel cut in. "I know it's hard…but the boy needs to know…you need to tell him."
Bobby looked up from the floor. There were tears in his eyes, but still he nodded. "Jimmy…Buddy, can you come sit by me for a second?"
Jimmy did as he was asked. "Why are you sad, Uncle Bobby?" he asked. "Why did Aunt Clarice run away?"
"Jim…" said Uncle Bobby, "Jimmy, there was an accident. And…and Christian and Penelope, your parent, they…they didn't make it."
"What's that mean?" Jimmy asked. "Are they not home?"
"They're…they're…" Bobby broke into a heaving sob and locked his nephew into a tight embrace.
"Uncle Bobby…?" Jimmy asked. "Where are Mommy and Daddy?"
Bobby looked up, looked down again, and then looked his nephew in the eyes. His cheeks were wet with tears, and his voice was shaking, and cracking, and wavering…But Jimmy needed to know. So he spoke the three words that would forever change the young boy's life.
"They're gone, Jimmy."
At first Jimmy did not understand. Where had they gone? They never went anywhere without him. And when they did, they were always sure to be back in time to pick him up from school. And then, he did understand.
"No," he said. "You're lying to me, Uncle Bobby. Why are you lying to me?"
"Jimmy…" his uncle pleaded.
"No!" Jimmy shouted. He pushed himself out of Bobby's arms and ran out of the office, expecting to find his parents just outside the doorway. They weren't gone. They had promised that they would always protect him. They never broke their promises.
"Mommy?" he called. "Daddy?" But only his Aunt Clarice was there, sitting just outside the door with her arms wrapped around her knees.
"Jimmy," his aunt said, reaching out for him.
But Jimmy ran, and he ran. He ran through the halls of his school as fast as his legs would carry him. He searched the building up and down. His parents were there. They had to be. But they weren't. So he ran some more. He ran until he reached the playground, and then he shouted. He shouted at the top of his lungs.
"Bump!" he called. "Bump! I need you! Where are you Bump?" He called, and he called…but Bump did not answer.
Eventually, his aunt and uncle found him sitting in the middle of the playground, sobbing. They took him home with them, and from there, a slew of horrible ordeals occurred. Bump was not at any of them. He was not at the hospital. He was not at the wake. He was not even at the funeral. Bump was gone.
After the funeral, Jimmy stopped believing in magic. He stopped reading fairy tales. They were all just lies; falsehoods that had promised to always be there for him, but had disappeared when he had needed them most. So he had decided that he would simply not need them anymore.
What Jimmy did not realize was that magic is everywhere. Just because it is present though, does not always guarantee a happy ending. But as always, the ending of one story is just the beginning of another. Although Bump was gone for now, Jimmy had not seen the last of him.

BofA local deposits up 31 percent
Bank of America strengthened its domination of the Bay Area banking market as the bank's local deposits rose 31 percent to $143 billion, according to the latest deposit market share figures from the Federal Deposit Insurance Corp.
Total Bay Area deposits climbed 18 percent. That growth reflects the robust regional economy and what some see as more bankers courting depositors, often competing on service rather than rates.
"We're starting to see more confidence among bankers and wider efforts to attract deposits," said Michael Natzic, a senior vice president in the community banking group at Crowell, Weedon & Co.
The biggest gain was at San Francisco-based First Republic Bank, which saw its Bay Area deposits jump 25 percent to about $12 billion from a year earlier.
"First Republic has a high level of service. It's paying off for them in attracting and retaining deposits," Natzic said. First Republic declined to comment on its deposit growth, which put the bank in fourth place in its share of Bay Area deposits.
That put Chase in fifth place with 3.8 percent of Bay Area deposits, despite an aggressive branch expansion in California.
The FDIC's deposit figures offer insight into how the region's banks stack up, but bankers caution that deposit figures by market can be misleading due to variations in how local deposits are reported.
The top three finishers in 2011 and 2012 in Bay Area deposit market share were BofA, Wells Fargo and Citibank.
BofA holds slightly more than 49 percent of the region's deposits, up from about 44 percent in June 2011.
Wells saw its share of deposits fall to 18.62 percent this year vs. a 21.2-percent share last year. But the amount of Bay Area deposits at Wells rose to $54.1 billion from $52.5 billion a year ago.

Arsenal face fight with Liverpool to land £50m star
According to a report in the Mirror, Arsenal will face a tough fight with Liverpool over the signing of Lyon's £50m hitman Alexandre Lacazette this summer.
Lacazette has been strongly linked with a move to the Emirates over the past two years and the Mirror reported earlier this month that Arsene Wenger is lining-up a £50m swoop after failing to land the striker last summer.
The boss is under increasing pressure from fans to end his reign in north London following another frustrating campaign but reports suggest Arsene is ready to continue as manager and oversee a squad overhaul.
A new striker is needed as Alexis Sanchez has expressed his preference to play wide on the left while the Chilean international could also leave this summer after failing to agree terms over a contract extension.
Lacazette is seemingly our prime target with Wenger ready to renew his interest after watching the French international plunder 31 goals for Lyon this season.
However, it looks like we'll now face a battle with Liverpool as the Mirror are citing a report from RMC Sport that claims the Merseysiders have also identified the 25-year-old as a prime target.
Jurgen Klopp is on the look out for a top class striker and the newspaper says Liverpool will look to trump Arsenal to Lacazette's signature with the lure of Champions League football [assuming they secure it, of course].
Obviously IF Liverpool end up finishing in the top four ahead of Arsenal then they'll have an advantage in any negotiations but as we saw with United landing Ibrahimovic and Pogba last summer, Champions League football isn't everything.
READ: Euro giants accept Arsenal's £25m bid
I'd still be confident Arsenal could entice Lacazette to north London ahead of Liverpool and if Wenger does end up staying it could actually work in our favour in the race for the striker. Arsene is hugely respected in France and no doubt Lacazette would love to play under him so that could be our trump card if we do miss out on the top four.

Rise and Shine Campers, the sun is out! A few days ago the band performed for the first time ever! We played at Razzoo in Uden, Holland, then at Unique Soul Weekender in Cologne, Germany. We played all the songs from the new album (yeah bet you're miffed you weren't there now!!) and some rare soul covers we wanted to put our own stamp on. Continue reading
Album almost finished
Yesssss, all recordings have been done, everything has been mixed and we're super satisfied with the result. As we speak, the tracks are being 'mastered' by KAI, the mastering king for Unique Records in Dusseldorf which will – without a doubt – result in a superb sounding record that even your neighbours will enjoy when played out loud (as it should be). In the meantime our grafic designer is working on the album design so everything is almost set for releasing the album the beginning of May 2009. Looking forward to it!

Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix Review
It is Harry's fifth year at Hogwarts and "He-who-must-not-be-named" is up to even more devilish mayhem that involves a new Defense Against the Dark Arts professor (beguiled into treating Harry like a pariah) and more trouble than you can shake a want at.
EA (in concert with Warner Brothers) offers a solid visual treat with Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix, the game based on the movie, which is based on the J.K. Rowling novel. The war against the evil wizarding forces is heating up and Harry's adventures involve having him coordinate a student resistance force, teaching them beyond the prying eyes of the teachers – and especially Prof. Umbridge – and exploring Hogwarts while run a series of quests.
Do not expect this to be a game that carries on the aspects of playing Quidditch or tries to snarl the gamer in a listless HUD and minigames that seem only to be there to make the game experience last a bit longer. No, this is about the book/movie, about Hogwarts and about immersing the gamer into the story.
To that end, the graphics are stellar and capture the looks of the movie counterparts very well. The voices, though, are a bit of a hit and miss. Harry sounds like Daniel Radcliffe – at times, while Sirius sounds like James Mason and Professor McGonagall is voiced by someone other than venerable veteran actress Maggie Smith. That is a bit of a letdown, actually. Through four other movies, these voices have been ingrained with the visuals and to have them use other voices is cause for a pause. But get over it, and move along, there is lots to like about this game.
Using the D-pad and right thumbstick will teach you various spells. Don't worry that you have to memorize intricate movements. Things are kept simple and reminders are there to assist you when the action heats up. And heats up, it does. Before you know it, you will be dueling with Slytherins and other students during your DA meeting lessons.
The combat, though it seems to be frequent in this game (which lasts about 10-15 hours), is a bit repetitious. But remember, there is no user interface (heads-up display), meaning no health bar. You have to watch the game to determine how effective your spell casting is. If you are doing damage, or taking it, the characters on the screen will react. Defeat means being sprawled face down on the ground. You can also use SIXAXIS controls to cast instead of the thumbstick, but that does not seem quick as quick or accurate as when using the right thumbstick.
One of the complaints younger players of the game had, and it was noted by this reviewer, is that the camera can be less than cooperative at times. Two girls, ages 11 and 12, gave this game a whirl and were completely immersed in the story and the way the game played out. The lack of the user interface, or using the thumbstick to cast spells, was not a problem at all.
Still, the Order of the Phoenix is a nice little romp through Hogwarts. And while the characters are good, the school itself is one of the major stars/players in this title. Not only does the game drive along the pathway of the novel, but it throws in some little tidbits that add a certain charm and character to the game. Little things like helping Neville with a "weedy" problem provides some entertainment value, and maybe a bit of a smile.
Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix is not a game that will draw in newcomers to the Potter series, but is a definite step up from previous iterations in the franchise. The graphics are very well done, and – despite the different voices – the sound is solid. This is a game that will delight fans of the books and movies and should bridge age groups as well.
Review Scoring Details for Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix
Gameplay: 8.0
No user interface creates a bit of a different feel to the game. The flow, though, is very nice and the game uses the school as a sandbox game mechanic, letting players move through the quests at their own pace.
Graphics: 8.5
A few glitches here and there, but generally this is a very attractive game.
Sound: 7.8
There is some repetitive lines of dialogue, and the music can be a little loud, but generally the sound is a nice adjunct to the visuals.
Difficulty: Medium
Concept: 8.0
The game tries to immerse players in the environment of Hogwarts and does a good job of that. It feels true to the novel and film trailers.
One of the better releases in the Harry Potter video-game franchise. This is definitely a game that will appeal to Potter fans. The game has a few small problems but is generally an entertaining experience that will appeal to younger as well as older players.

Organization of Young Filipino Americans (OYFA)
"In 1988 Cyn Romero, Brod Bello, and a few other Filipino students wanted to form an organization that stood out from the other ones that already existed. They wanted one that would be more inclusive, not one that isolated itself from outsiders. This new organization was never meant to be exclusive at all. Its members fully welcomed anyone, Filipino or not, who wanted to hang out with them and who could tolerate - or even contribute to - their quirkiness. To say 'I can't join OYFA; I'm not Filipino' was not a good enough reason not to join; we'd reply, 'So?' Moreover, they wanted to be more involved in other parts of the University, not just their own members. Primarily, they wanted the members to have fun, while at the same time learning to get along, work, and have fun. Most important of all, the organization's members would learn something about their own culture and would share it with others. Why? To truly understand Filipinos - and therefore ourselves - we really need to know where we have come from. So, OYFA was born..." ----- OYFA alumni Dr. Ron Labuguen
OYFA has not changed much, with one exception: we now have a much larger membership than when it was founded. People are attracted to OYFA because of the closeness of its members. The familial atmosphere keeps OYFAns deeply rooted in the organization and the alumni coming back for more!"

Plastic Coat Hangers
There is a vast array of hanger styles to choose from including wire, wood and metal. Since there is such a large variety available to buy it can become difficult selecting a hanger to suit your individual needs. However, this decision becomes much easier once you consider the benefits of plastic hangers. This type of hanger can hold any item from dresses to heavyweight garments such as coats without cracking, bowing under weight or distorting out of shape.
Another notable benefit of a plastic hanger is that they are completely rust proof. Therefore, you won't have to worry about the hanger discolouring your items of clothing even if they become exposed to water. As well as being rust proof, the plastic hanger is also known for leaving your items crease free.
At Shopfittings we believe that every retail environment should be able to express their design visions without limitations. We stock a large selection of plastic hangers for you to achieve just that. Our stock includes coat hangers, clear lingerie hangers, trouser hangers, suit and jacket hangers. Click here to view our entire range of clothes and coat hangers that will be at home within any space.

link/name, but I'd particularly like to know what the keys are for the Short Description and Homepage values on the Feeds setup page. There's some information here, but
I would assume these show up in phpmyadmin, but I'm apparently not savvy enough to figure it out!
