Texas Theatre Announces the Oak Cliff Film Festival, Which Will Hit Big Screens June 2012
About six months ago, says Eric Steele, one of the partners in the Texas Theatre on Jefferson, he and his comrades decided that in a city full of film festivals, it was time for one more. But this one, they vowed, would be different. This one would have "a fringe flavor," its roster full of titles you'd never find at the Dallas International Film Festival or the USA Film Festival -- gory stuff, sexy stuff, weird stuff. Something, like, say, The Woman from Australia. And plenty of stuff homegrown.
Which is why this morning the boys at Aviation Cinemas announced the Oak Cliff Film Festival, which will take place at the Texas Theatre, the Kessler and the former Bluebird Theater, among other venues, from June 14-17 of next year. They will begin accepting admissions next week -- just go here. But Steele, Adam Donaghey Jason Reimer and Barak Epstein will not be programming it alone: They're bringing in Blake Ethridge, former programmer for the much-vaunted Fantastic Fest down in Austin.
"For us, the general mission statement is: We want to find brave and independent filmmaking of all stripes," Steele says. "We are planning on having a local, Oak Cliff, Dallas section where we can highlight some up-and-coming filmmakers -- like students from Oak Cliff making films. But we want it to be big too. Blake has been at Rotterdam, Berlin, and we want to acquire and program big films that won't be seen at your typical film fest."
They chose the June date for several reasons: It won't conflict with other local fests, it will encourage walking and pedicabbing it between venues, and it'll allow for some poolside screenings at the Belmont, which will serve as the host hotel.
Steele says there will also be an honorary award given to at least one big-name attendee who's close to confirming; more on that later, and there's plenty of time. Says Steele: "We just think there's a group of people who like those fringe things on the cutting edge. We view this as a separate niche. It's like the Texas Theatre -- complimentary of the Angelika and Magnolia, where we show things they wouldn't want to. Same thing with this fest."

Definition Edit
A portable computer is a computer that is designed to be moved from one place to another and includes a display and keyboard.
Overview Edit
Portable computers, by their nature, are microcomputers. The principle advantage of a portable computer versus a laptop or other mobile computer is the use of standard motherboards or backplanes providing plug-in slots for add-in cards. Portable computers also provide for more disk storage by using standard 3-1/2" floppy disk drives and providing for multiple drives.

Can customers print an order form AFTER submissionAsked by Spellbinders on February 28, 2014 at 03:09 PM
I want our members to be able to choose to register for several components of our Annual Meeting, have the total fee autocalculated and have them be able to print out their "Purchase Order" after submitting so that they can mail in the form with a check for the total fee. I had originally thought the "Thank You" would be the solution: I.e. Thank you for registering for these components of our Annual Meeting, Please mail the total fee to.....and print out this form to keep for your records. I am worried that if I ask them to print before hitting submit, they will forget to hit submit. Any suggestions on how I can do this? Thanks so much!
Me again. So I kept searching in the Forum and found this: http://www.jotform.com/help/51-How-to-Post-Submission-Data-to-Thank-You-Page.
I have created a new url on our site and the thank you goes to that page. I have enabled Send Post Data. And I have pasted the recommended code into the right place an the custom url. But, nothing comes up on the custom URL page.
I don't know code and am the only staff of this non-profit. I can switch from the WYSIWYG side of our website to the code side, but don't know what to put there. I want the custom page to say:
Thank you {Name} for registering for our conference. You have registered for the following componets {PURCHASE ORDER}. Please send a check for the registration fee to this adddress.
Hello. I am not official round here, but just a user like yourself. You might find it easier to do what you want in an auto-response email rather than in the thank you page.
JotForm Support
I think that the form Post data option should work in your case, so I will try to provide a code sample later today.
Also, you might consider adding a form Autoresponder mentioned by NRCsupport, it is quite easy to do with us.
Thank you.
Yes, the form auto responder works perfectly! I am all set and thank you.

Queensland, Jan 26: Rain played spoilsport at the Queenstown as the second ODI between Pakistan and New Zealand was abandoned after only 4.2 overs of play.
Kiwi captain Daniel Vettori, called it right in the toss and decided to field first. Though there were showers in the morning but it eased up to allow the start of play.
New Zealand were off to an inauspicious start as James Franklin who was given the new ball instead of the much-faster Hamish Bennett conceded 16 runs in his two overs.
Pakistan's Ahmed Shehzad, playing in his first ODI in nearly 20 months looked impressive from the outset. He powered a huge six over square leg off the third ball of Franklin's over.
Before persistent rains forced the abandonment of the match, in 4.2 overs Pakistan had scored 31 for the loss of no wicket.
The third one-dayer of the bilateral series is scheduled to be in Christchurch on Jan 29.

Cats Theatre in Moscow
Cats theatre Kuklačova in Moscow was opened even in 1990, and it was situated in the building of former theatre "Poziv" on Kutuzovski passage, bit in last years in that building total reconstruction was done. Whole project was financed by Moscow's government and its department for culture.
The drivers' and passer bys' attention is attracts by few light commercial billboard hanged on theatre façade: cats empire starts its activity on improving the mood of inhabitants. And the mood of visitors rise significantly at the moment of entrance to theatre hall where in a hospitable way they meet with many cats characters from all sides from walls, benches, floors even from cloak room numbers while real cats can be seen in their "living" area on first floor.
Some of them live in luxury apartments with modern designed interior , and others had to "reconcile" with more modest accommodation, because with cats also there are differences visible, if not class differences , then in every way status differences depending on the role they play. Cats stars do not look on big number of visitors, since they are accustomed on the stage, so they with the pleasure pose in front of the photographers and cameramen.
In cats theatre there are two independent creative collectives, two different theatre poetics. One belong to Jurij Kuklačov, and second to his son Dmitrij. Their shows are presented by in advance ordered schedule, according to the one the repertoire is made in the way that no matter of visit shows, theatre gives shows in main building during the whole season.
It is interesting that with the special technology build-in in reconstructed theatre one problem was solved which similar places face up: many visitors don't come in since they are allergic to cats. Air condition system and air purifiers enable to remove the allergy to cats, so the visitors who have this problem can peacefully watch all shows from the repertoire of cats theatre without any health problems.
"Our theatre is opened for children and youngsters, " says Dmitrij Kuklačov. And indeed, all visitors who watched shows of Kuklačov theatre in childhood, can without hiding nostalgia, make sure that no matter of many quality changes done during the adaptation , this theatre preserved its unforgettable atmosphere. Apart for children , shows are for youngsters and adults in evening hours.

Excellent caseThis reviewer rated product 5 out of 5 stars.Erikesp2 years ago
Have purchased 7 of these. Best case you can buy for the money. They are a really great value at regular price of $69.99. However, during Christmas season they go on sale for $39.99 and at the price they can't be beat!!!! Very well constructed. Excellent locks. The padding is the cubed stuff works well. They even have a pressure release valve on the underside of the case which is a feature more common on higher end cases like the Pelicans. These cases are extremely tough and provide Pelican like ... protection at a fraction of the price. Do not hesitate to buy this case.

Great case for the $This reviewer rated product 5 out of 5 stars.KWorkman3 years ago
This is my second Tactical Performance case I bought from here. My first case holds an AR-15 with a 16" barrel & collapsible stock, it fits great. The second AR-15 has an 18" barrel with bipod, 3x9x40 scope with high riser rings and its snug end to end, up and down. Anyone with a longer barrel or a non-collapsible stock should look for a 42" bag. They are on sale now so I will get another one for the next build.
Great Case at a value priceThis reviewer rated product 5 out of 5 stars.Tom Miller3 years ago
I bought this case a month or so ago and what a surprise when I opened the box, good quality case and a perfect fit with my AR. The only draw back was a blessing in disguise, the longview, TX location did not have them in stock while they we on sale for $29.99 so I placed my order online and bought 2 of them to get free shipping and the extra one fit my mini 14 perfectly. Don't hesitate to buy one for your AR or mini as you won't be disipointed.

Great CaseThis reviewer rated product 5 out of 5 stars.Flynorm3 months ago
This thing is much stronger than those other flimsy plastic cases. It will hold your longest rifles. I store everything from Mosin Nagant, Finn M39's, Winchester Model 70, shotguns, and my M4's with 16" up to 24" barrels and I detach the scopes & red dots, put mags and ammo boxes in the case as well so it's like a "bug out" case (I have 10 of these cases & going to get more). Also has 3 spots on the case for padlocks.
Does what I needThis reviewer rated product 4 out of 5 stars.popa986 months ago
My son gave me one for xmas 2 years ago. I got to more rifles this last xmas. I looked here and they were a good price. The only complaint and this was with both. The foam is not glued down to the case. So they tend to pop up when you open the case. Not a big deal. Simple thing to fix. They are not water proof but at this price range I would not expect. I hold a 01 Henry and a Remington 597 combo securely and with ease in one case.

Badass rifle caseThis reviewer rated product 5 out of 5 stars.bigcountry7138322810000002 years ago
I purchased this bag today, put my ar in it, my pistol, 2 ar mags, 2 - 50 round boxes of .223, a box of .40 cal. It was heavy, handles all feel very secure and strong. High quality zippers and ample storage space. Haven't tried the shoulder straps yet but they look of the same quality as the rest of the bag. Very happy with the purchase, got complimented on it at the range and best part is it was 59.99 in store instead of 79.99 like the website advertises.

Great purchase for the moneyThis reviewer rated product 4 out of 5 stars.Darylztat0rt0ts4 years ago
I am very pleased with the bag so far. I have had it for a month now with minimal use but everything seems to be in excellent quality. My only beef is it doesn't hold two guns as well as I hoped. My AR has a sizable scope and a vert forward grip that does take up a good portion of real estate. It is possible though to put two guns but there is not much to keep them from rubbing into each other. I am still very pleased for the purchase, the amount paid, and the fast delivery (although it looked ... like a refrigerator box when it came) I would, and have recommended this bag to others.
Great case!This reviewer rated product 5 out of 5 stars.cmmcl4 months ago
Bought it to hold my 5.56 & .308 MSRs and it's great. Secure Velcro straps, removable MOLLE pouches in front along with a big center bag. Couldn't be more happy. Also bought its little brother that holds my two S&W Shields and full-size M&P and six mags. Both wonderful bags.

a LOT of case for little money BUT...This reviewer rated product 4 out of 5 stars.JustDont4 years ago
First off - this case is VERY solid and heavy duty and will do a great job of protecting your firearm. The pricing of this case is awesome compared to other brands. Now the "but" The claim that this is a dual scoped rifle case might be a little misleading. It really depends on your rifles. I am unable to fit a scoped Rem 700 and a scoped Marlin 30/30 in this (it's about 3" too narrow.) If you have a couple of low profile rifles with scopes you might be able to fit them into the case ok but ... my current duo of hunting rifles will not fit. Either way - this case is awesome for a single or dual configuration.
Great caseThis reviewer rated product 5 out of 5 stars.BrowningHunter4 years ago
A little on the heavy side (even empty) and certainly larger in width makes it a challenge to pack in my GMC 2500 quad cab with the seat down. Extremly well built and zero concerns about hauling my scoped 30-06 or 270 together. Could also probably fit my semi-auto 12 in the case at the same time. Very satisfied and will certainly consider buying another.

Great product, I had purchased one locally and it was made in china, (same manufacturer label) The two from Academy was made here in the U.S.A. the material seems better quality. The only thing that is different than what you see in the photo is mine did not have the Academy logo on it.

Pelicans are the Cadillac of gun casesThis reviewer rated product 5 out of 5 stars.GoNavyBeatArmy4 years ago
Solid design, crush proof, water proof, pressure relief valve--this case has all the bells and whistles. There's a reason why the US Military prefers Pelican cases: they're rugged, solid pieces of gear. All that being said, I also bought the Plano® GUN GUARD® Double-Scoped Rifle Case with Wheels from Academy Sports, and comparing the two, I think there are actually a few things that Pelican can improve on: -The Plano case is longer and "deeper." The Pelican is wider but more "shallow" so ... depending on how you want to store two long guns in the case, one might work better for you than the other. -The Plano case has 6 latches (4 on the side opposite the hinges, and 1 on each end). The Pelican only has 4 on the side. It's still a solid case with little fear of popping open, but the extra latches on the Plano case make it feel more secure. -When paying this much for a case, Pick and Pluck foam should be standard. This came with a solid foam sheet. -The price. Obviously, you get what you pay for, and you'll never go wrong with a Pelican case. But it's more than twice the price of the next comparable case (the Plano Gun Guard), which isn't that much of a "step down" from a Pelican.

This an awesome to go case. I really like the design with Plenty of Padding and the Strap and Barrel Pocket that holds the firearm secure in the case . Smooth nylon interior allows you firearm to slide into the case without snagging and ripping like a lot of other soft lined cases . Also has plenty of storage designed just right. This is the only case I will buy from now on...I have 2 so far planing on picking up at least 3 more . I do have a whole stack of other Brand cases cheap if any one is ... interested , Most have ripped linings in the barrel end. ..The Allen Battalion Will Last !

Great single pistol, well made hard case with egg crate foam. For the money this can't be beat. Plus it's made in the U.S.A. I bought 4 of them to use as gifts, everybody loves them.
Great ValueThis reviewer rated product 5 out of 5 stars.Anonymous5 years ago
The Plano Pistol Case is a great value. The case is sufficiently sturdy and offers good protection for transport to the range or storage in the gun safe.

Quicker than expected deliveryThis reviewer rated product 4 out of 5 stars.Capt_D1 month ago
I brought this pistol rug about a month ago and like the feel and size. I was not expecting the rubberized zipper pull to look like a string looped around the zipper slide. So far it is staying put but looks like it could come off.
Inexpensive Pistol RugThis reviewer rated product 5 out of 5 stars.Blackeloop611 year ago
I have used these cases for several months. The materials and construction are good. These cases are imported. The 8 inch is a tight fit for a compact .40 S&W CZ clone. The 10 inch works well for a full size 1911 or similar length .22 Auto. I expect them to last for years to come.

Buckle UpThis reviewer rated product 4 out of 5 stars.300 yards2 years ago
I like this soft case for my tactical riffle. I can zip the case with the mags and scope in place. This case has large pockets for additional mags and other shooting supplies. it has very sturdy straps and buckles to keep everything in place. The 42" length is perfect for my rifle. I won't put two rifles in this case. First the weight would be too much, but the divider pad between the sections is not thick enough for me to trust two rifles not getting damaged in transport. It does have good ... shoulder straps for backpack style carrying. The zippers seem to be a good quality. We'll see how it holds up over time.

When you sit down and think about it, we use a lot of paper in our daily lives. We are handed paper shopping bags and paper receipts, receive countless paper ads and pieces of junk that we will never read in our mailboxes every day. The rampant consumption of paper around the world has led to crisis levels of deforestation in some of the most beautiful, primal areas of the globe, destroying wildlife and ecosystems, the consequences of which may be far more dire than we will even see in our lifetimes.
To some degree, I think most Americans are hands-off activists. That is to say, they would like to see change affected, they may choose to recycle, but they don't actively seek out other ways to live a green and ecologically friendly lifestyle because the problem is so massive that it seems insurmountable, and frankly, unrealistic that the actions of only one person could change anything at all. While it is true that one person making changes is only a drop of water in a bucket, many people making changes can have a much greater impact. There are several ways in which I use the internet to make my life more ecologically friendly, mainly revolving around stopping the needless consumption of paper.
I pay all of my bills online. Every last one. No longer do I receive paper copies which wind up with the envelope the bill came in and most of the paper winding up in the shredder, shortly followed thereafter by the garbage can. If I want to access my payment history, I get onto the internet, it is only a click away. If I absolutely need to print something, I can, but I have not yet found it necessary. I also do all my banking, including direct deposit, checking to savings transfers and statements online. I find paperless banking to not only be green, but convenient, as it is immediately available and far more up to the minute than waiting til the end of the month for a bank statement to arrive that does not even reflect my most recent activity. Going paperless has become increasingly popular, to the point that most companies immediately offer it as an option.
There is another way that I conserve paper in my daily life. I will admit, I am a coupon user. I love a good deal, and my store bonus cards are stored like treasures. What many people don't know is that some stores allow you to digitally load coupons onto your bonus card so that when you scan it, all the discounts come off at the register. No more paper waste from all the coupons you won't end up using, and no more time wasted cutting coupons. Simply note your discounts on your digital grocery list (I use the notepad feature on my mobile phone to track my list) and you are good to go.

Today is the day I've been working towards for the last several months. I've been MIA on the blog for a long time, part of that is because I'm a Mommy and don't make the time to blog, the other part is because I haven't felt like sharing this time around. Tonight I had a wave of emotion urge me to sit down and pour it all out. So, here it goes.
November 2011 I gave birth to my son. Ironically, I weighed exactly the same the morning I went in to have him that I had at my highest weight. Before getting pregnant I'd worked hard to get off 55 pounds. I gained some from the stress of moving and then we unexpectedly got pregnant and I gained more. Long story short my starting weight was 258. Wow. I sit here and stare at the number and so many things are running through my mind. What will people think? Why did you let yourself go? What in the hell were you thinking letting this get THAT far out of control? But, I take a deep breath and let it go. Think what you want, every single pound gained I learned something. I'd be lying if I told you I wish God didn't have an easier way to help me get over my lifelong battle with body image and food. But, this is the path He chose, and I trust Him so all I can do is choose to learn from it.
After having my son I thought I'd leave the hospital with my 8 lb 8 oz baby and at least have dropped 10-15 pounds. Nope. How about TWO. Two stinkin' pounds. I remember the first time I weighed myself and saw that, I was angry and couldn't believe that was all I lost after having him. For those of you that leave the hospital with all your baby weight gone, you better be thanking God for that one because He doesn't do that for everybody!
I felt defeated right away. A year before I'd lost 55 lbs of the 100 I'd gained and here I was right back at square one. I had to do this all over again? Why? Hadn't I been through enough the first time? God had more to teach me.
I spent the first year of my son's life "piddling"... I'd lose 5 lbs here and there. I joined Weight Watchers twice, and quit. Then his first birthday came around and after seeing the pictures from his party I knew I had to do this... for him. I did not want to be the "big" Mom. I've been the "big" girl for far too long and I was ready to get back to the person I knew was hiding deep inside me and the Mom I always dreamed about being.
November 24, 2012 I walked into Weight Watchers (again), and I didn't give myself the option of quitting. This time I was doing it for not only myself, but because I wanted my little boy to be proud of his Mama. I'd lost 28 pounds on my own prior to that day (it took me 13 months... I told you I was piddling). I joined that day and haven't looked back. Today I weighed in lower than I have since 2008... and I saw a "1" before my weight instead of the "2" that has haunted me for years. I've lost 31.6 pounds with Weight Watchers, making my grand total 59.8 pounds since having my son.
I'm not stopping here, I have more I want to lose but just getting here was a huge mountain I had in front of me. I look different than I did when I weighed this last time. That's OK. My body has been through gaining 100 pounds, losing 55 pounds, gaining back some and then carrying a precious baby boy to term and giving birth. My body has given me SO much. It's not perfect, but it's mine. Looking at my arms I fear the loose skin I may have and I have to stop my mind from ruining the moment of noticing that I have biceps... all my time in the gym is paying off, even if there is some loose skin to spare.
If I could go back to the "old" Amy who weighed this 5 years ago, the Amy that was in so much pain, this is what I'd tell her...
"You are beautiful, just the way you are. Don't let anyone's opinion of you get inside your head and ruin you. So what if you have bigger thighs, they are strong. So what if your butt is big, not much you can do to change it, it's called genetics, so embrace it! So what if you have a little bit of a belly, someday you'll carry a baby inside and you'll never look at it the same. Your boobs are not that big, trust me, they could be much bigger... and you'll hate it. Your arms are not fat, quit hiding them under t-shirts and having anxiety in a tank top. That number on the scale does not define you. It is a number, nothing more and nothing less. It does not mean that you are not good enough for your husband or that you don't deserve to be a Mother. You deserve those things because you are loved and you were created by an awesome God who will faithfully provide the desires of your heart. Quit saying you'll do _____ when I get to ____ weight. Just do it. Whatever it is that you want to do... you deserve it now. Thank God for the body He gave you instead of wishing He'd given you a better one."
I am not done with this journey... and every day brings new challenges, but with those challenges I always look for the blessing. In the midst of it all I'm thankful for what this journey has taught me. It's proven I'm far stronger than I ever thought I was. This time I am more focused and determined than ever before because I have a little one who is watching my story now... and I want to make it a good one.

You are an inspiration to women everywhere. I'm not a mother (yet) but I can relate to your challenge and hope I can remain as positive as you. You don't give up and you rely on Him to guide you; that's all we can really ask for everyday. I know it's probably really hard to put your feelings out there for everyone to read but I for one appreciate it. Keep on keepin' on!

October 16, 1903
A Bucharest newspaper is reporting the betrothal of Grand Duke Kirill, eldest son of Grand Duke Wladimir, to the divorced Grand Duchess of Hesse and By Rhine, according to a New York Times dispatch from Vienna.
The Grand Duchess was born Princess Victoria Melita of Edinburgh, second daughter of the late Duke of Edinburgh (Duke of Saxe-Coburg and Gotha). The Grand Duchess was divorced from her husband, Ernst Ludwig, Grand Duke of Hesse and By Rhine, by the High Court due to her "lively behavior." She would, when "displeased" throw "table things or bric-a-brac at her husband."
The Grand Duchess lives with her mother, the Dowager Duchess of Edinburgh and Saxe-Coburg and Gotha in Coburg. The Dowager Grand Duchess was born Grand Duchess Marie Alexandrovna of Russia.
Victoria Melita and her first husband are first cousins. She also shares a first cousin relationship with Grand Duke Kirill.

Check Out Some Concept Art for the Original Idea for 'Toy Story 3'
by Ethan Anderton
December 30, 2014
Source: SlashFilm
In 2010, Pixar Animation delivered a rather perfect sequel in Toy Story 3. Unfortunately, it looks like Toy Story will continue with a fourth installment, but that's not what this post is about. Instead, this is about the Toy Story 3 that could have been. Back in 2005, Disney Animation was working on their own new Toy Story without Pixar mastermind John Lasseter and his crew. There have been details that have surfaced online about the sequel they were working on, and now a whole slew of concept art has surfaced online, showing us what Disney had in store, and you'll probably be glad Pixar came back to do their own thing.
Here's the concept art from Disney's abandoned plot for Toy Story 3 (via SlashFilm):
The story would have seen Buzz Lightyear recalled to Taiwan with Woody and the rest of Andy's toys traveling across the world to save him. The stoyboards above are by Ric Sluiter, based on the screenplay by Bob Hilgenberg and Rob Muir (who now both agree that focusing on the relationship with Andy ended up being better for Toy Story 3). As you can see, there are other recalled toys in the designs, which are interesting enough, but just from the story alone, it seems like this doesn't have as much heart as we've come to expect from the Toy Story franchise. Could Pixar revisit this idea for Toy Story 4? We'll find out.

One dumbbell--5 to 8 pounds for beginners--is all you need for a full-arm workout. A slight knee-bend alleviates pressure on your lower back as you slowly raise the dumbbell, straight armed, from thigh to shoulder. The need for arm strength has a way of sneaking up on you--in the form of a jumping toddler or toppling file folders. This exercise emulates the full-arm muscle constriction necessary for everyday tasks.
You may unsubscribe at any time.
Stand with your feet hip-width apart, knees slightly bent. Grasp the ends of one dumbbell (5 to 8 pounds to start), holding it in front of your thighs.
Keeping your shoulders back and down, lift the dumbbell straight out in front of you to shoulder height. Hold for a second and then slowly lower.Tags: Arm ExercisesCopyright © 2017 Rodale Inc.

In the bakery industry there is no more popular an item than cupcakes. Cupcakes have been a bakery staple for generations, but with the market loaded with specialty cupcake shops bakers are struggling to make their cupcakes stand out from the rest. Here's 5 ways to make your bakery's cupcakes rise above the rest.
Source: kimberlysnyder.net
- Never Over-bake
If you over-bake a cupcake, even slightly, there's no way to save it and it definitely will not be moist on the inside. So bakers should always err towards under-baking cupcakes as a result. Ideally your cupcakes will look slightly sunken when they're done rather than peaked.
- Experiment with flavors and colors
Once you have mastered a particular recipe you can begin experimenting with colors and flavors to add a personal signature to your cupcakes. Whether your favorite flavors are pineapple or cheery try incorporating them into both the cupcake and icing. You could also combine flavors to make something truly unique, a pina colada cupcake perhaps. You could even try filling your cupcakes with a unique flavor combination.
- Flavor Fillings
Fillings aren't just for donuts anymore. In fact jams, custards, creams, or even an extra helping of icing can be exactly what your cupcake has been lacking. You can use a cupcake corer or a decorating bag and tip to inject even more of the scrumptious stuff into your cupcake.
- Top Them Off
After all it is not the decoration that makes the cupcake. In spite of looking prettier no one really wants to eat a cupcake that looks like an overdone gingerbread house.

Hong Kong is a mature financial market and a global financial center. Hong Kong is also known for its efficient and flexible services. Uniquely positioned in South China, Hong Kong has been one of the important players in risk management and fund raising for investments into China. With the impact of the financial crisis in 2008, Hong Kong has diversified its role as a fund manager for Chinese investors to manage their overseas investments.
Best Products/Services
Being the largest equity center in Asia, Hong Kong provides both local and regional start-up companies with a readily available source of equity financing that originated from overseas. Hong Kong accounts for 29 percent of all equity raised in Asia.
Since the financial crisis in 2008, China has become a major source of global investment. This is reflected by the quota of US$56.6 billion Qualified Domestic Institutional Investors (QDII) program, a scheme approved by the People's Bank of China (PBOC) and the State Administration of Foreign Exchange (SAFE) in April 2006 that allows qualified commercial banks to raise RMB funds from individuals and institutions to invest in overseas financial instruments.
The mature and well regulated Hong Kong stock market has provided a quick and easy exit for venture investments. The Hong Kong stock exchange is the host for a major share of sales from Chinese investor in private-equity-backed IPOs.
While a significant share of regional funds are based in Hong Kong, the highly export-oriented nature of the Hong Kong economy helps put capital into companies in the Asia Pacific Region including Australia, Korea, Japan, India, Taiwan, China, etc.
The vibrant and dynamic Chinese market has become the focus of venture capital investment in the region, and American private equity firms with their recognized expertise could benefit from this opportunity. In addition, Hong Kong's Mandatory Provident Fund (MPF) scheme provides an ample supply of funds to the industry. Insurance companies and pension funds play vital roles in directing MPF funds to various investments.
Sectors such as natural resources and raw materials, Internet and telecommunication, and environment protection (e.g. air quality, water treatment and energy efficiency) are among the best prospects to attract possible investment.


text: 13 of the best new car seats for 2017 Best Buys 0 i-Size car seats will be the biggest trend for 2017, with rear-facing for longer infant seats also setting new standards 1. Graco Snugride i-Size, £299 Age suitability: Birth until 20kg (around 18 months)i-Size: YesRear-facing until: 18 monthsCost of base: Included in priceTravel system compatible: Yes – with all Graco pushchairs The Snugride is Graco's first i-Size rear-facing car seat and will seat your baby rearwards facing from birth up to a massive 20kg. Most infant car seats only last to around 15 months, but the Snugride i-Size should last until your child is 18 months as it has an extendable and adjustable headrest, so will work well with toddlers who are tall for their age but still weigh under 20kg. As it's an infant car seat it still comes with a carry handle, 5-point safety harness and ISOFIX base. Read: Everything you need to know about the new i-Size laws Available: January 2017 2. Diono Radius, £130 Age suitability: Birth until 13kg (around 15 months)i-Size: YesRear-facing until: 15 monthsCost of base: £140Travel system compatible: Yes – with the Diono Quantum buggy and pushchairs compatible with Maxi-Cosi adaptors Known for making the very-popular all-stage Radian 5 car seat, Diono is know launching its first i-Size infant car seat, the Radius. Like similar Group 0+ car seats, the Radius is suitable from birth to around 15 months, has a nice-sized canopy and 5-point non-threaded adjustment safety harness. But what sets the seat apart are the additional features on the ISOFIX base, which costs an extra £140. The base has an integrated 'seamless recline,' which works with a simple twist, allowing it to be positioned at any angle. Safety-wise the base has a patented accident deceleration system, meaning that if you're involved in a car accident the base works independently to decelerate the force working on the seat. Another clever feature is the accident indicator, which is colour coded to let you know if the base is safe to use or not. As well as telling you if the base is not secure, Diono claims the indicator will show if the car seat has suffered a major impact. Available: Summer 2017 3. Baby Jogger City Go, £99 Age suitability: Birth until 13kg (around 15 months)i-Size: NoRear-facing until: 15 monthsCost of base: £99.99Travel system compatible: Yes – with Baby Jogger strollers but you'll need to buy the adaptors separately The City Go is both an affordable and lightweight (3.6kg) Group 0+ car seat. It's also relatively slimline at 43.2cm, so if you don't have much space on your backseat, this could be a good choice for you. The City Go can be installed using the Baby Jogger City Go ISOFIX base or the car's 3-point seat belt, meaning it should fit most cars. Available: Now, in fact you can buy it at Kiddicare.

It's so new, we've not got any pictures yet, but we know it looks a bit like the i-Gemm seat (above). As its name suggests, the i-Level is i-Size compatible. However, the standout feature is the fact that it's lie-flat, which means babies can sleep safely for longer periods in a lie-flat car seat - and avoids the limits of the '2-hour rule'. Read: Everything you need to know about the '2 hour rule' Available: January 2017 6. GB Idan i-Size, £255 Age suitability: Birth until 13kg (around 15 months)i-Size: YesRear-facing until: 15 monthsCost of base: £110Travel system compatible: Yes – with the GB Maris pushchair (sold without the need for an extra adaptor) A stylish infant car seat from the makers of the Pockit stroller, the GB Idan i-Size has an 11-position height-adjustable headrest, linear side impact protection system and energy absorbing shell. Available: January 2017 7. GB Vaya i-Size, £350 Age suitability: Birth until 18kg (around 4 years)i-Size: YesRear-facing until: 4 yearsCost of base: Included in priceTravel system compatible: No A rotating Group 0+/1 car seat that's suitable from birth to 4 years. Rotating car seats make it easier for you to get your child in and out of a car - particularly useful if you have a child who doesn't like being clicked in. It's also an i-Size car seat and can actually be used in a rear-facing until your child is 4 years old. Available: March 2017 8. Britax Dualfix i-Size, £370 Age suitability: Birth until 18kg (around 4 years)i-Size: YesRear-facing until: 4 yearCost of base: Included in priceTravel system compatible: No Another best-selling car seat that's been given an i-Size face-lift. The original, multi award-winning Britax Dualfix was one of the first to introduce a 360-degree rotating base, and one of the first rear-facing for longer seats.

Available: Summer 2017 10. Cybex Sirona M2, £350 Age suitability: Birth until 18kg (around 4 years)i-Size: YesRear-facing until: 18kg (around 4 years)Cost of base: £125Travel system compatible: No We aren't surprised to see the hugely-popular Sirona also get an upgrade to become the Sirona M2 i-Size. It's still a Group 0+/1 seat that offers rear-facing to 105 cm (around 4 years). However, if you choose, you can use it forward-facing from 16 months or when your baby is 76cm tall. The new M2 i-Size has a click in and out base, whereas the old Sirona had a 360 degree rotating base. It also has a 5-point harness, whereas the older version had an impact shield (called a safety cushion by Cybex) when used in the forward mode. Available: Now, you can buy the i-Size version of the Sirona M2 at Toys R Us, Kiddicare or Mothercare. 11. Apramo One, £350 Age suitability: Birth until 36kg (around 12 years)i-Size: NoRear-facing until: 13kg (around 15 months)Cost of base: included in priceTravel system compatible: No Not the best-known car seat manufacturer in the UK, but Apramo has been producing car seats since 2008. However, it's only in the past 2 years that the brand has been making headway in Britain. 2017 looks to be a big year for Apramo, because it's introducing a brand new all-stage car seat to the market called the One.

The Radian Max (like the Radian 5) has a longer-lasting rear-facing position and harness that means it can be used rear-facing to 25kg – around 5-6 years. However, the Max is a Group0+/1/2/3 seat, and has a harness that can be used in forward-facing mode to 36kg, which is around 12 years. Available: Summer 2017 13. Nuna Aace, £250 Age suitability: 15kg (around 3-4 years) until 36kg (around 12 years)i-Size: NoRear-facing until: Forward-facing onlyCost of base: None neededTravel system compatible: No From the brand behind the hugely-popular Rebl car seat comes the Aace Group 2/3 car seat.

Spargelmania: Germans and asparagus
Why does Germany go loopy every spring over the humble asparagus?
If you were a newcomer to Germany with a slender grasp of the language, you might find yourself, upon dining out in late spring, wondering what this mysterious 'Spargel' foodstuff was. Every dish on every restaurant blackboard in every German city on every day from late April to mid-June is based around this enigmatic ingredient, and not for cheap either.
In the absence of your dictionary you are reduced to speculation. Is it caviar? Truffles? Puffer fish? Whatever it is, it must be exotic and exciting and well worth the extravagant sums the restaurant is demanding.
So when the waiter comes, you point a trembling finger at one of the intriguing Spargel concoctions and wait with a watering mouth to see what delights will appear.
On the edge of your seat, you watch your plate approach across the room. As it is tantalisingly lowered onto your table, you spot some boiled potatoes, a slice of ham, and then, immersed in a golden lake of Hollandaise sauce, a few sprigs of … asparagus? Your slavering jaw drops. This is what all the excitement is about? This is what they are charging EUR 13.90 for?
But for that price this must be special asparagus, you decide. Maybe asparagus in Germany, like pizza in Italy or deep-fried Mars bars in Scotland, is incomparable with knock-off dishes found elsewhere. German asparagus is surely some kind of ambrosia from the vegetable gods.
So using the special asparagus cutlery the waiter has provided, you cut off a chunk of a spear and place it carefully in your drooling mouth. You bite, you chew, you swallow. You reflect. It's okay, you think. It tastes fine. But why all the fuss?
Why indeed? No matter how long an expat lives in Germany, there are certain things, like the word Mahlzeit or German tax forms, which will always remain unfathomable. Asparagus is one of those things. Why should an entire nation greet the coming into season of a lowly vegetable with the same enthusiasm other countries reserve for new wines or game birds? Considering Germany's low birth rates, the reputed aphrodisiac properties of this most phallic of vegetables can't be the only reason.
The depth of the asparagus fever during Spargelzeit is certainly astounding. Improvised market stalls selling the white spears in buckets spring up outside railway stations and next to busy roads. Restaurants give over whole menus to the vegetable. Shops sell special asparagus serving dishes and utensils--you couldn't just serve the 'king of vegetables' in any old container, now could you?
Just to prove that Asparagus officinalis is really a cultural icon and not merely a humble vegetable, it has been graced with that most authoritative of modern institutions: the museum. And not just one museum, but two, in the fabled asparagus grounds of Schrobenhausen and Beelitz, where the local asparagus temple extravagantly aims to "celebrate the asparagus as source and object of eating pleasure, trade and also art."
Despite the impenetrable attraction of the spears for Germans, there are two reasons why the asparagus is worthy of your respect. The first is the fact that the asparagus business provides a rare example of pro-Polish bias among Germans. Most of the asparagus is cut by hard-working Polish seasonal workers, who farmers vociferously prefer to "unreliable" German workers. Given prevalent German stereotypes of the Poles, the more of this kind of cross-border co-operation Germany gets, the better.
The second reason relates to the very transience of the asparagus craze. The asparagus season ends on 24 June, the feast day of St. John the Baptist, after which the white stalks disappear from shops and menus.
Now, when was the last time any fruit or vegetable disappeared from a British supermarket, where the only thing marking the passing seasons is a change in the country of origin stickers? Whatever your feelings about asparagus, you have to respect Germans for sticking to the quaint tradition of eating food in season. In the globalised era, perhaps that is something to get excited about after all.

I was thinking the same thing. The vast majority of Germans have never tried green asparagus because you won't even find it at the store there. It's a shame because green asparagus is superior in flavor. They have to thoroughly peel the bark off of the white variety and slather it in stuff to make it palpable.

Asparagus are white in Germany. You are committing a capital sin by showing green asparagus .Germans will never forgive you! Mein Gott!

4) we can grab a shut-down dman in the 2nd rd of 2013 draft,
5) we select a goalie of the future in the 2nd rd of the 2013 draft,
... then our 're-build' looks pretty good. We also have Buff to use as trade bait to get a player we lack once Trouba arrives, say a solid two-way player for our 1st or 2nd line ... or 2nd pairing dman, that might speed up this process a bit.
That fruit won't come to bear until 16-17, 17-18 at the earliest. Bogosian's played 4 NHL/pro seasons, and he's just starting to show "shut-down" ability. I don't think it is fair to Trouba or the organization as a whole to expect him to develop that quickly.

ôI love to paint as much as I love singing and writing music. As a child, I remember spending hours by myself drawing then playing piano and then writing my thoughts into poetry. This habitual refuge of mine through the years has helped discover myself as an artist and became an instrument to the making of my album.ö
Discovering her love for music at a very young age Tricia became a Voice major for two years at the University of the Philippines College of Music and trained under Gloria Bustria of Yamaha and Nanette Maigue of the Philippine Opera Company. Inspired by the voices and unique styles of Billie Holiday, Ella Fitzgerald, and Sarah Vaughn, she's also included Corinne Bailey Rae, Norah Jones, Esperanza Spalding to her daily listening list.
ôI can hear the melancholy and happiness in their own lives as I listen to their every note and every word," Tricia said.
The album is divided in two parts: ôVibrantö and ôPastelö.
ôThe use of 'Vibrant' and 'Pastel' is a good way to mesh my music and my love for art. 'Vibrant' is used to refer to a full band arrangement of the songs while 'Pastel' refers to an acoustic arrangement," she explains.
There are nine tracks on Kulay: the carrier single ôTabing Ilogö (originally from BarbieÆs Cradle), ôAkoÆy Sa Iyo At IkaÆy Akin Lamang," ôSa Iyo Lang," ôTara," ôDito Lang Ako," ôWalang Salita," ôSana Naman,ö and ôMamahalin Kita." ôThe songs in the album are all about, love and longing,ö Tricia says. ôThey are sincere.ö
ôKulayö is now out in CDs under MCA Music.

Drugs are substances that change chemical reactions in the body
MEDICAL DRUGS relieve pain and illness from the body
RECREATIONAL DRUGS are used for enjoyment like alchahol or tobacco
1.) The drugs are tested using computer models and human cells grown in the laboratory. Many substances fail this test because they damage cells or do not seem to work.
3.) Drugs that have passed animal tests are used in clinical trials. They are tested on healthy volunteers to check they are safe. Very low doses of the drug are given to begin with. If there are no problems, further clinical trials are done to find the optimum dose for the drug.
