Your Hand Holding Mine – Beth & Brian's Gorgeous Fall Wedding
Emily and John captured our hearts from day one. Every meeting with them was filled with laughter and fun. Their adorable personalities captured our hearts. Emily and John married in April at the beautiful Ocean Course at Kiawah Island. We loved being a part of their special day, and helping them turn their vision into a reality!
We met Janet and Tim last year and one thing was clear, their wedding HAD to be on the water. The couple loves all this Charleston, but especially loves how lucky we are to live so close to the water. (I mean... how lucky are we?!) We toured a few different locations before settling on Tides Hotel on Folly Beach, knowing right away it was the perfect location.
How is it possible that we are already in the middle of May? April flew by and we haven't even had a chance to share our fabulous images from our April weddings! Laura and Eric were our first couple of our Spring season. We always love when our couples are local, because we really get to know them and learn more about their love story.
Choosing the right chairs for you wedding can be difficult; it might even seem pointless because it's such a tiny detail. We are here to tell you all the reasons why chairs tie the knot of the details of your design in the end!
With an international guest list consisting of countries from across the world, Ana and Mario tied the knot at the gorgeous 17th century venue, Torrefiel in Spain this past weekend. Located outside of Valencia, Spain, Ana & Mario wanted to bring their guests together with dancing, good food, and incredible views of the valley surrounding the venue. And I can't forget to mention the plethora of hats!
If you're anything like we are here at Intrigue, you are obsessed with bridal fashion. We just love watch the bridal fashion shows and keeping up with the latest bridal trends. One bridal designer we follow frequently is Claire Pettibone. Her bridal gowns are honestly TO DIE FOR. Just looking at her Fall 2017 line up makes our hearts ache. The way she tied in vintage styles - super hip - with off white lace patterns just shows how much simplicity is popular. Take a look at some of her gown below and comment which ones are your favorite - maybe it's the same as ours! (hint: all of them)!
A theme we really love during the reception of a wedding is the concept of a lounge! These lounges are perfect for cocktail hour or even as a substitute for assigned seatings. They provide a great atmosphere for the guests of your special day while enhancing the already beautiful landscape of the low country.Below are even more great pictures of lounges that we have loved setting up over the years. Be sure to let us know if these give you any ideas!
The spring season has finally arrived and we here at Intrigue think it is time to talk about floral designs. As we start the planning for this years spring weddings we can't help but reflect on past weddings and past floral designs we've had. Since we loved look back so much we thought we would share it with you and see if it inspired you the way it has inspired us! Or should I say Intrigued us?
Lindsay and Tom came to us with a simple dream that we were able to make a reality. They wanted to celebrate their love with the people they cared about; sealing it with a kiss by the sea at an intimate affair on Folly Beach.
Something we really love and appreciate as a team is when our weddinngs are featured by wonderful Charleston magazines! Today is starting out to be a great day because we got featured in not one - but two Charleston wedding magazines! The Wedding Row Magazine and A Lowcountry Wedding Magazine!
We are so excited to see that one of our weddings was featured on Colin Cowie Weddings! Shot by the always talented Riverland Studios, this stunning Lowndes Grove wedding was one to make your jaw drop!
The Pavilion at Patriots Point is on our radar for venue hotspots. Located in Mount Pleasant, the venue's waterfront view of Charleston harbor is just one of it's most beautiful attractions. With a vast area for cocktail hour and reception, the bride and groom can truly make the venue their own by adding personal touches and details to the overall theme and decor.
The Cotton Dock at Boone Hall Plantation is the ideal venue for hosting a wedding ceremony & reception for any number of guests!
We are so thrilled to be featured on Southern Weddings today! Our sweet couple Ashley and William married at Lowndes Groves Plantation surrounded by their loving family and friends, who traveled from all over the country to help celebrate!
Photographer: Britt Croft Photography
The Creek Club @ Ion is located in Mount Pleasant, SC. With spacious porches and spectacular sunset views, the venue is very fitting for hosting a wedding reception. The Creek Club @ Ion can accommodate anywhere from 75-300 guests, which makes it suitable for just about any client!
Married at The Middleton Place {Wedding Venue Hotspot}
The Middleton Place in Charleston, SC is another venue hotspot that we absolutely love! The Middleton Place is the perfect location for a large wedding, with its abundant amount of space and spectacular views of the Ashley River. Not only does is provide a beautiful ceremony area, but the venue also provides different spaces specialized for cocktail hour and the reception.
Intrigue Design and Events had the honor of designing and planning another gorgeous wedding here in Charleston, SC. Taylor & Brent were married at Cottage on the Creek in Mount Pleasant, South Carolina, surrounded by friends and family excited to witness such a special day. We are thrilled that this fabulous wedding was featured in the amazing Charleston Weddings!
When you finally pick that perfect place for where you want to tie the knot, a lot goes into using a certain space to create that perfect ceremony and reception you've always fantasized. When your significant other and soon to be spouse (!!!) gets down on one knee and asks you to spend the rest of your life with him, you can finally start planning the wedding of your dreams.
You may ask, how do I choose a venue when there are hundreds of beautiful venues in Charleston?!

Your Two Cents: Could Female-Only Banks Be Beneficial?
Female-only banks have existed in Saudi Arabia for decades, and Time describes the women's branches of the Dubai Islamic Bank as feeling "more like spas than financial institutions." The staff and clientele at these branches are all (you guessed it) female, and the case for separation has to do with both the wealth held by Saudi women and the conservative culture.
The Time article scatters some very interesting facts about women in this part of the world: A 2007 Barclays Wealth survey found that Saudi women are the most financially savvy in the world in terms of investing, retirement, and estate planning; The Middle East Economic Digest estimates that Gulf women control around $246 billion, projected to hit $385 billion by 2011; Women own about a third of brokerage accounts and 40 percent of family-run firms in Saudi Arabia.
The existence of women-only branches in Saudi Arabia got me wondering: Could female-only banks be beneficial in other parts of the world? What do you think?

Thailand is a kingdom situated in Southeast Asia. This is among the uncommon places that were not colonized in this area and that is in all probability the explanation why this nation was a mystery for foreign vacationers for years. Nevertheless, it didn't take much earlier than the first fashionable tourists have discovered the potential that this nation has. For instance, Thailand has more than one thousand islands and most of them have beautiful sandy beaches. As well as, it has miles of shoreline that also has amazing beaches. The capital metropolis Bangkok may be very interesting too - it has old structures like temples, shopping areas, many landmarks etc. Also, issues like dense jungles with wealthy animal and flora might be discovered on each corner of Thailand. Once people began to visit Thailand actively they were capable of study more about the tradition and history of this country and that is how a few of them discovered Muay Thai.
Muay Thai, often known as the artwork of the eight limbs or Thai boxing, is the nationwide sport of this Asian country. Whilst it's true that there are different martial arts and sports activities just like this one within the neighboring nations, additionally it is true that Muay Thai was the only one which managed to develop into globally popular. So, what makes this sport so common?
Muay Thai training requires focus and dedication. This sport is great for many who want to work on their fitness and improve their health. This is in all probability the first purpose why so many individuals travel to Thailand precisely for this purpose. You can hardly ever find one other activity that's so intensive, demanding and enjoyable on the similar time. Both men and women can enjoy the health advantages of Muay
Thai training. Of course, with a view to do that they need to join a Muay Thai training camp in this beautiful country. In thisd camp they'll study the basics of Muay Thai and see how attention-grabbing and difficult this sport can be. Each 2-hour training class will allow you to strengthen the body, eliminate additional pounds and enhance your endurance.

PITTSBURGH, July 4 (UPI) -- Richard Mellon Scaife, an heir to a Pittsburgh banking fortune who used his wealth to support right-wing causes, died Friday. He was 82.
His newspaper, the Pittsburgh Tribune-Review, announced his death, which occurred a day after his birthday.
While Scaife supported Sen. Barry Goldwater, who lost to Democratic President Lyndon Johnson in the landslide 1964 election, and backed -- and later opposed -- President Richard Nixon, his political slant was most evident after the election of President Bill Clinton in 1992.
After the "Whitewater" investigation got underway, Scaife spent millions of dollars trying to prove the president and his wife, Hillary, had orchestrated the killing of Deputy White House Counsel Vincent Foster and continued to maintain Foster had been killed after several investigations found his death from a gunshot to be a suicide. Hillary Clinton was referring to Scaife when she said she and her husband had been targeted by a "vast right-wing conspiracy," with Scaife responding that he did not know of one.
Scaife's personal life was rocky. He was expelled from Yale as a freshman after an incident of drunken violence and was married and divorced twice.
Other members of his family, including his mother and sister, were known for more conventional philanthropy. Sarah Mellon Scaife helped fund the research that led to the development of the first polio vaccine and Cordelia Scaife May donated to Planned Parenthood.

Dynamic changes of cytoskeletal proteins in primary astrocyte cultures post scratch injury
|Leung, Doreen Siu Yi
|Issue Date
|Irrespective to the types of CNS injury, astrocytes are activated and become gliotic. Glial fibrillary acidic protein (GFAP) is one of the specific markers for astrocytes. Increment in GFAP is well documented in astrogliosis, the scar formation process by astrocytes in response to injury. Astrogliosis is also characterised by hyperplasia, hypertrophy and rearrangement of the cytoskeletons. The response of astrocytes to injury is so vigorous and fast that astrocytic scar formed can have harmful effect in neuronal regeneration and axonal remyelination. As GFAP and other cytoskeleton (including microtubules, actin and vimentin) are important in the change of morphology of reactive astrocytes, it is important to investigate the changes of these proteins in injured astrocytes. In this study, an in vitro scratch-wound model was used to study mechanical injury. A plastic pipette tip was used to scratch a confluent primary culture of astrocytes which was prepared from rat cerebral cortex. Confocal Scanning Laser Microscopy (CSLM) and Western Blotting techniques were used as tools to examine the morphological and biochemical changes of actin, GFAP, vimentin and β-tubulin. These proteins: were visualized by immunocytochemical staining and quantified by densitometer. The changes of cytoskeletal proteins in the astrocytes along the scratched zone and the distant inner non scratch region were compared at 8 time points (0,6 and 12 hours, day 1,2,3,5 and 9). Western Blotting quantified the total pooled responses of both scratched and non scratched astrocytes of the whole culture whereas CSLM was able to detect the regional differences of astrocvtes along and distant from the scratch injury. With analysis, the detected responses of the four cytoskeletal proteins to scratch injury were different. GFAP of the scratched astrocytes had an intense initial elevation, then decreased gradually and increased at a later stage. Microtubules as reflected by Western blotting remained at a constant level throughout the whole time course with only slight fluctuations. Actin had a significant decrease of about 50% at day 1 and 20% at day 2. Vimentin had a significant decrease of about 15% at day 1 and 50% increase at day 9. For regional comparison, all astrocytes along the scratch showed higher and dramatic changes in the intensity of staining of GFAP, vimentin, actin and β-tubulin. No changes were observed in the non scratched astrocytes in the inner region except vimentin which showed changes in both scratched and non scratched region. Staining for oncogene proteins for heat shock, c-myc and n-myc demonstrated intense immunofluorescence in astrocytes localized along the scratch edge. These proteins are good markers for injured cells. These observations concluded that CSLM and Western Blotting are a good combination in studying the changes in cytoskeletal proteins in injured astrocytes. The cytoskeletal proteins, GFAP, vimentin, β-tubulin and actin, altered differently in astrocytes in response to injury suggested that GFAP may not be the only cytoskeletal protein involved in astrogliosis, other cytoskeietal proteins such as vimentin, actin and microtubules may act as aan associate role and provide an architectural support for GFAP to act on and/or may act directly during astrogliosis. The correlation of their activity during healing processes require further studies.

I like the classic lines and nostalgic look this scatter gun has but that doesn't mean much if it doesn't run right. I'm looking for any problems anyone who has one might have had.

A thundering herd of admirers will stampede into position to admire this ring...and the woman fortunate enough to wear it. The fresh-faced girl who stole your heart on her way to making you a one-woman man is one in a million, and you need to find a uniquely tough yet beautiful engagement ring that suits her style. Can an engagement ring gift encapsulate all that she means to you? We believe it can. The Kandie Lue is an audacious engagement ring with a country-western flare that will grab everyone's attention down on the farm, and just may upend some traditional ideas about how tough a woman can be without giving up an ounce of class or beauty. Inspired by the wide open spaces of picturesque "Big Sky Country", where the deer roam, and foxes play hide-and-seek with the residents in the chicken coop, The Kandie Lue features an Oval Cut cubic zirconia center stone atop one of the widest, top-heaviest engagement rings we've ever designed.
Ripe with the same kind of small-town charm of places where the church is the most important gathering place, this engagement ring sits pretty with a rugged, cathedral setting supporting a double halo of forty-eight (48)* flawless, round-cut 1.0 mm accent stones so pure an angelic choir might sing of them. We designed and made those double halo rows of brilliant accent stones to surround and bring out the beauty of the 5A diamond quality center stone of 0.25 to 5.0 carats (your pick). The whole shebang up top is held aloft by a double-split band with teardrop-shaped negative space and horseshoe styling. Your belle will love the split-band, which, reminiscent of horseshoes, not only matches her rustic style but also symbolizes good luck. We wish the both of you a happy future as you build your lives together, arm-in-arm, by hand, placing brick-by-brick from the ground up (just like all great things are built). Get The Kandie Lue engagement ring as a stand-alone or together with the matching anniversary band to complete the cubic zirconia bridal set!

Ulead DVD MovieFactory 5\Content\Menu Template\4x3\Customize folder.
Right here what I do not understand there are frame,navigation button, one scene layout,scene selection layout, text only layout.
Now what I am doing e.g. loading a ufo file named 05_SceB01.ufo to Photoimpact and trying to add more frames with fill-out windows shown in the menu then 2 per one page. I wanna have 6 windows per page.
I tried to save the file I opened even under different name.
But when I open movie factory there is not the file or it is not changed I made in the place of option of all menu templates.
1. What do I do wrong? I see that there is some 05_SceB01_MS.ini and setting.ini in the \4x3\Scene Button folder. May be I am missing to create a new ini while saving a new ufo file.
maybe I am loading ufo files from the wrong folder?
No clue about it...
2. How I can easily create 6 windows per page or even 8 using Photoimpact.
and then how do I see a new template in movie factory?
3. Where do I modify navigation buttons of the template?
4. and finally how to create a submenu in the movie factory.
I mean I want to have 6 windows in the main menu and after clicking I want to have submenu of each window?
I would be more than appreciated of any good advise.
I am attaching the examplorary that I think should work under movie factory with 5 windows but it does not.
Thank you in advance

Hi Everybody,
I would again ask kindly for good advise of what I do wrong.
You are an expert and this would allow me to create my own ufo. [template]
How do you do that and what folder in movie factory you put the new ufo file into?
AFAIK you can't change the placeholders in Movie Factory. Wat you can change is the object colors and textures etc. Essentially whatever is there you can edit.
PhotoImpact 10 edits Ulead's proprietary image format. I got the trial and made a UFO once, for use in Ulead DVD Workshop 2. But PSD files made in Photoshop 7 or later work much better, or at least the very same.
This said, understand my experience comes from DVDWS2. I don't use MF, that's too beginner for what I needed.Want my help? Ask here! (not via PM!)
FAQs: Best Blank Discs • Best TBCs • Best VCRs for capture • Restore VHS
I don't wanna change them in Movie Factory. It is probably unfeasible.
Can you show me how you create e.g 6 windows per page [see attached section]?
Can do you make it using Photoimpact? Where do you put a new ufo file once it is made?
This is a problem I cannot understand...
Please help

I could be wrong tho...
Hi thecoalman,
This is probably the reason having trial versions I did not think of yet.
This is what wanted. Thank you so much

Price: 'I've Done My Best'
AUSTIN - It's tough to stand out as a rookie, especially in the Texas House of Representatives. In the just concluded session it was even harder to shine because there were 38 of them, nearly twice a session's average, and the largest rookie class since 1973.
But Rep. Four Price, R-Amarillo, said he did his best to be an effective legislator. And his colleagues, particularly from West Texas, gave him high marks for it.
"I am really pleased with what we have accomplished so far," Price said while the Legislature was still in session. "There is nothing unexpected about the challenges we've faced and what is ahead of us."
Price was the first among the four rookies from the Panhandle/South Plains delegation and one of the first among the entire freshman class to pass a bill on the House floor. And he ended the session passing 10, tied for first place with Rep. Naomi Gonzalez, D-El Paso, for most bills passed by a rookie.
One bill that will require all public schools in Texas pay more attention to concussions suffered in sports events, including practice, became a high profile measure because it had the support of the National Football League and of concussion experts. In addition, Price co-authored or was joint author of 35 additional pieces of legislation and multiple House resolutions.
However, the 43-year-old Amarillo attorney said he doesn't evaluate his effectiveness as legislator on the number of bills filed or passed. Instead he measures his effectiveness on how he represents his constituents in District 87 - which includes all of Potter, Carson, Moore and Sherman counties - and what he is trying to accomplish for West Texas and the entire state.
House Speaker Joe Straus appointed him to the chamber's Natural Resources and Culture, Recreation & Tourism committees. In Price's opinion both panels are critical to the economic success of the Panhandle and of West Texas, the former because it handles water issues and the latter because tourism, particularly hunting, is a big component of the region's economy. And though in this session the daily House meetings plus the long committee hearings occasionally took more than 16 hours, Price is not complaining.
"Nope, no frustrations or disappointments," he said. "This is what I signed up for. The learning curve has been extremely steep but I am satisfied with the progress we've made. I truly believe in this process ... it's a really privilege to represent my district and the Panhandle."
Price said he gives a lot of credit for his legislative success to his staff.
"I'd be remiss if I didn't mention how good they are," he said. "They help me with everything I need and more."
Price's colleagues in the House, particularly Panhandle Republicans Warren Chisum of Pampa and John Smithee of Amarillo, give him marks for the job he's done.
"He has shown himself to be a very bright person who is involved with the issues," Chisum said as the session started winding down. "He has not been on the microphone a lot but there are many other ways to show that you are on top of things and he is always doing that, like talking to other members or getting engaged on whatever we are all working on."
A good number of rookies make what are known as freshman mistakes but Chisum, Smithee and others said that as far as they could tell, Price didn't make any.
"Four has already earned a lot of respect and that is the most important asset you can get from the members," said Smithee, the dean of the Panhandle/ South Plains delegation.
Barring unforeseen developments, if he decides to seek re-election every two years Price is expected to keep representing his overwhelmingly Republican district because in the map of all 150 House districts the Legislature passed this session, Price was not paired against another incumbent. The only change to his district for the next decade was the addition of Hutchinson County.
Another House member, who didn't want to be identified because of the sensitivity of the issue, said that from the start of the session Price has also played his cards right, mainly because he supported Straus' re-election from the very beginning.
Chisum, on the other hand, challenged Straus on grounds that the San Antonio Republican was not conservative enough. In addition, freshmen Reps. Charles Perry of Lubbock and Jim Landtroop of Plainview were among the 16 Republicans who cast a "nay" vote for Straus when the Legislature convened on Jan. 11. Perry and Landtroop supported the candidacy of Ken Paxton, R-McKinney, the second challenger Straus faced.
However, Price dismisses such talk.
"There is a human element to everything we do," Price said regarding the speaker's race. "I gave my word and that's what I did," he said. "I intend to keep my word and promises when given. In the future, when I take positions on issues, I want those involved to depend on my commitments."

ST. PETERSBURG, FLA. - That explosion that emanated from the IZOD IndyCar Series Honda Grand Prix of St. Petersburg on Saturday was Will Power blowing up the track qualifying record with a blistering fast lap of one minute, 1.372 seconds.
The previous record of 1:01.962 — set last season by Power in the No. 12 Penske Racing machine — was bested by more than half a second.
And it was a monster day for Chevrolet, new to IndyCar this season, putting five of their Chevy-powered race cars — including Power — in the top six spots.
Ryan Briscoe will start second in Sunday's race after he laid down a lap of 1:01.535 in the No. 2 Penske Chevrolet and Ryan Hunter-Reay claimed third spot in the No. 28 Andretti Autosport Chevrolet with a time of 1:01.932.
Not to be outdone, Canada's James Hinchcliffe, put up the fourth fastest time of the final qualifying session of 1:01.970 in his No. 27 Andretti Autosport Chevrolet in his first IndyCar qualifying effort at the 2.88 km St. Petersburg street course.
But it was a bitterly disappointing day for Honda — the only engine manufacturer in the series since 2005 until this season — putting only rookie Simon Pagenaud in the top six and he will have to move to 16th spot after changing the motor in his No. 77 Sam Schmidt/Davey Hamilton Racing Honda.
More surprising was four-time IndyCar champion and defending race champion Dario Franchitti not even making it to the final session in the No. 10 Target Ganassi Racing Honda.
Power said the Penske team, tired of a string of second-place championship finishes, worked feverishly over the winter to get a good start this season.
"We worked hard," he said. "Roger (Penske) has been pretty keen on winning the championship this season after the last couple of years."
Power also surprised himself that he was able to lay down his record-breaking lap on old soft compound tires.
"I really didn't think we would be that fast because our tires were degrading pretty quickly," he said.
Hinchcliffe had the best time in the second of three sessions and thought he might be able to hold on to the top spot until Power made his final run, but an ever so slight brush with the wall ended that chance.
Still he was happy with his second row start.
"I made a bit of a mistake on my quickest lap, maybe there was a tiny bit left in there, but at the end of the day my first start here and the first start of the season, it's a great way to kick it off," he said.
Hinchcliffe said one advantage to being so close to the front is it gives him a better chance to avoid the usual wrecks that happen in the first turn of the race.
"It is nice to be at the sharp end of the first turn at St. Petes," he said.
Canada's other driver in Sunday's race — Montreal's Alex Tagliani — failed to advance from the first qualifying session on a lap of 1:02.650. It was, however, the fastest lap of all the Lotus teams on Saturday.
"I feel the car is getting better," Tagliani said. "I am hoping for an early yellow flag (on Sunday) so that we can pit out of sequence and give is a chance to run up front.
"But (the Lotus engine) doesn't have the kind of power the Chevrolets have on the long straightaways."
Former Formula One star Rubens Barrichello also failed to make it past the first round of qualifying in the No. 8 KV Racing Technology Chevrolet with a fastest lap of only 1:02.200 in his inaugural IndyCar qualifying session.
The problems with Lotus engines came to a head Saturday when powerhouse team owner Roger Penske hinted that Chevrolet and Honda may have to step up to supply engines if Lotus continues to lag behind on the race track. "I sure hope another engine manufacturer steps in if Lotus drops out," he said. Lotus, which supplies five teams, including Tagliani's No. 98 BHR Barracuda squad, has had problems building engines that match Honda and Chevrolet on horsepower. But IndyCar boss Randy Bernard steadfastly defended Lotus saying the series would give them every opportunity to fix their problems. He refused to say if IndyCar had a contingency plan should Lotus not move ahead fast enough ... Latest rumour making the rounds is that long retired F-1 driver Jean Alesi — he hasn't raced in a top level series since 2001 — will join Tagliani as a teammate for the Indianapolis 500.

In many places in the world, the water that is readily available is not safe for human consumption. But purification can be expensive, time consuming, or impractical. LifeStraw is a water filtration straw designed to be used by one person for up to 1000 liters of water, the expected amount of water a person should consume every year. Water is sucked through the straw and the pressure from suction moves the water through hollow fibers that remove 99.9999% of all waterborne bacteria and 99.99% of parasites.
This product is the brainchild of Vestergaard Frandsen, a Swiss company devoted to "disease control textiles." Vestergaard also invented LifeStraw Family, a household water filtration system that provides the same filtration as the LifeStraw but also filters out 99.99% of waterborne viruses. Time Magazine awarded LifeStraw "Best Invention of 2005" and the product won the 2008 Saatchi & Saatchi "Award for Changing Ideas."
LifeStraw products was created and produced in line with one of the Millenium Development Goals (MDG) of 2000 which set to reduce by half the number of people who did not have access to clean water by 2015. Although this MDG was reached in March 2012, many countries in Africa remain far behind the rest of the world.
Distribution and partnerships
According to an interview with Elisabeth Wilhelm, Communications and New Media Specialist of Vestergaard Frandsen, end users of Vestergaard products in the developing world do not have to pay for them, instead they are often gifted the products through a health program or because of an emergency situation. The majority of distributions are executed through the roughly 200 partnerships Vestergaard Frandsen has with various nonprofit agencies, faith-based agencies, governments, corporations, Ministries of Health, and other aid agencies.
Many have been given away after major natural disasters, including the Pakistani floods of 2011 and 2012, the Haitian earthquake of 2010, the Japanese earthquake of 2012. Other emergency distributions have been in order to assist victims of displacement after civil wars or other major violence. However, the tracking of usage post-distribution in these emergency situations is extremely difficult.
LifeStraw units have been distributed in Kenya in non-emergency situations and targeted residents with the most need. The distribution was executed in large part in partnership with the local Ministry of Health. According to Ms. Wilhelm, these distributions could not happen without local partnerships.
Vestergaard Frandsen is not a nonprofit organization or a corporation, but instead, a "profit for purpose." The homepage of their website states:
We operate under our own unique Humanitarian Entrepreneurship business model. This 'profit for a purpose' approach has turned corporate social responsibility into our core business of creating life-saving products for the most vulnerable.
Just how does this approach work?
Carbon for water
Vestergaard Frandsen started a carbon offset program which allowed them to donate approximately 900,000 LifeStraw Family units in the Western province of Kenya. This helped provide clean water access to approximately 4.5 million people in the region, approximately 90 percent of the population, the same amount that did not have adequate access to clean water. Vestergaard paid for the entire program, approximately $30 million dollars. However, the company has the potential to earn revenue in the form of carbon credits. These credits are awarded when it can be proven that a reduction in greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions has occurred. What does water have to do with carbon, you might ask? One of the more affordable and reliable ways to purify water is to boil it – but boiling is energy intensive. Avoid the boiling, avoid the carbon.
Vestergaard is earning carbon credits because the families who received the LifeStraw Family units no longer have to cut down trees to use as firewood to boil water and make it safe to drink. Each emission credit represents one ton of carbon dioxide that will not be released into the atmosphere. The program has been registered and approved by the Voluntary Gold Standard, a leading international certification system which tracks companies voluntarily wanting to reduce GHG. The carbon credits are then sold to buyers who are interested in reducing their carbon footprint or increasing their economic stewardship.
A movie titled "Carbon for Water" was shot in one of the villages who received LifeStraw units to show how Vestergaard is donating their products, but not as charity but rather "smart business."
10-year plan
The western province of Kenya was chosen with help of the Kenyan Ministry of Health, due to success with previous health programs in the area. This project is eight times larger than any other project with the Voluntary Gold Standard. Ms. Wilhelm explained that 2,000 Kenyans were identified by the Ministry of Health to receive training from Vestergaard on the products and their health and environmental benefits. These employees were then sent door-to-door to train the locals who were to receive the products. Vestergaard has also allocated funds to ensure that these public health officials can be sent out to the villages every six months to follow up with the residents, see if they are using the products and if they are making a difference. Vestergaard has also set up product repair and replacement sites in every village.
Vestergaard Frandsen earns income from carbon credits only when they can prove that their products have reduced GHG emissions, as such, they have incentives to reinvest the earnings into the project. Vestergaard is planning to oversee this project for a minimum of 10 years. Accredited auditors, independent of the project and company, are sent to verify Vestergaard's findings every six months. Carbon credits are only issued after the findings have been verified.
Different studies conducted have concluded different efficacy rates of the systems. For example, one field study, which was conducted in rural Congo, followed 240 households over 12 months and concluded that the water systems reduced diarrhea by 15 percent. These results were much lower than Vestergaard Frandsen had hoped. Further investigation of the study showed that the comparison group was given a placebo filter which removed 90 percent of TTC from their water, which could have skewed the results. However, it is important to note that similar studies have concluded that the systems have decreased incidents of diarrhea by 35 to 50 percent amongst participants.
In an interview with Bloomberg News in April 2011, during the major distribution, Chief Executive Officer, Mikkel Vestergaard Frandsen stated, "We expect this to have a massive impact on health and be financed by the carbon market. We are hoping to reduce the incidents of diarrhea and respiratory infection — two of the biggest diseases in sub-Saharan Africa."
Many news articles allude to the fact that the lack of access to clean water not only affects the health of a populace, but also its potential prosperity and has the largest impact on women and children. While Vestergaard continues to see their project through, it will be important for them, as a Point-of-Use solution to the water issue, to team up organizations and companies working to improve the Point-of-Source, to find a lasting solution to the problem that continues to plague 894 million people across the world.

MEXICO CITY — Mexico on Wednesday sharply expanded its efforts to lure private capital to its natural gas industry, announcing it will open 10 pipeline projects around the country to bidders--including one that would bring California natural gas into Mexico.
U.S. companies have been eagerly eyeing the Mexican natural gas market since last fall, when a new law allowed foreigners to compete in energy development and transportation here for the first time in 60 years.
The Energy Ministry said private foreign and Mexican companies will be invited to bid on projects to build and operate natural gas distribution systems in 10 urban areas. They include Mexico City and energy-hungry northwestern Baja California, which includes Tijuana, Rosarito, Ensenada and Tecate.
Among those interested are Pacific Enterprises, parent of Southern California Gas Co.; and Enova Corp., parent of San Diego Gas & Electric Co., which expect a joint bid for a proposed Baja California project.

A few months ago I landed an assignment with a new business-to-business publication. It wanted me to write an article explaining how landscaping company owners can find new customers.
I interviewed three owners of small mom-and-pop landscape companies. All of them said — among other things — that they offer some type of discount to customers who send word-of-mouth referrals.
That's straightforward enough, right?
I sent the draft article to my editor, including that detail. She sent it back with the following comment:
"People who hire landscapers are rich and don't care about a discount."
Um, what?!
Her statement is so full of errors that I don't know where to begin.
We'll set aside the ridiculous comment that "people who hire landscapers are rich." (Um, perhaps they're busy juggling kids and a job? Perhaps they're too elderly or sick to tend their own lawns? Perhaps they're frequently out-of-town because of work or family?)
Instead, let's look at the other assumption in her statement — the stereotype that rich people are spend-a-holics.
The Myth That Rich People Are Wasteful With Money
Perhaps television is to blame — The Real Housewives is just entertainment! It's fiction! — but many people labor under the impression that being wealthy equals being wasteful.
I hear this stereotype constantly — "Oh, they're rich. They don't care about money" — and it blows my mind. Why do people believe that once a person's net worth crosses a certain threshold, their skill at handling money slides into reverse?
I believe the opposite is true. People become rich by being skilled at money management. "The rich" start out as people like you and me: normal people who earn, save and invest.
We do it regularly. Lather, rinse, repeat. $100 grows to $110, then to $121. The interest compounds while add more to the principal. We buy real estate, start businesses, repay debt. We take calculated risks and we're always looking for ways to earn more.
What about people who inherited their wealth?
The answer is simple: Heirs who steward and shepherd their family wealth will maintain and grow it. Heirs who squander their family wealth will lose it. One group will remain rich; the other group will not.
You Can't Outsource Your Brain
I often hear the argument: "Rich people pay someone to take care of their money." That's about as sensible as saying, "Athletes pay someone to hit the 6-minute mile."
Sure, the rich hire advisers, accountants and bookkeepers. They don't do their own data-entry.
But like any company president, they're responsible for hiring and firing their advisers and accountants. They're the team leader. The buck stops with them.
You can't pay someone else to take care of your money, any more than you can pay someone to take care of your health. You can hire nutrition counselors, Pilates instructors and swimming coaches, but you're ultimately the CEO of your own health. You can hire financial planners and accountants, but you're ultimately in charge of growing your own net worth.
Which brings me back to my original point — the stereotype that rich people are wasteful with money. That can't be true. Rich people who are wasteful with money will become poor, just as thin people who eat nothing but deep-fried doughnuts will become fat.
In other words, the rich who — in the words of that editor — "don't care about a discount" won't be rich for much longer.
But the owners of the landscaping company who reinvest their earnings into more shovels, more mulch and more advertising will do just fine.

Authorities say a suspect in a supermarket stabbing who was found dead after barricading himself in a Northern California hotel room during a police standoff had shot himself.
The San Francisco Chronicle reports ( http://bit.ly/oxCcBk ) the Marin County Coroner said Monday that 38-year-old Peter James Thomas died of a gunshot wound to the head and listed his death as a suicide.
Thomas was being sought on suspicion of shoplifting and attacking clerks at a San Rafael grocery store with a knife when a shot was fired from a hotel on Aug. 17, prompting a 24 hour-long standoff with authorities and nearly all-day closure of a nearby freeway.
Police swarmed Thomas' hotel room and found him dead from a self-inflicted gunshot wound the next day.

Palin Gets Hot on Gay Marriage Ban
Always the bridesmaid, never the bride. That's the complaint of religious conservatives when it comes to protecting America from the scourge of the Gay Agenda (National Hair Care! Ban on Stretch Pants!. Republicans always talk a good game about taking away the rights of gay people, but they never deliver. As with Roe v Wade, many have campaigned promising to do something about the existential threat of homosexuals getting married, only to fail horribly if they ever try at all. With all the hoopla riling up the GOP base over race, shadowy ties to terrorists and ACORNapalooza, I almost thought they'd give the gay-bashing a rest this year.
Sarah Palin to the Rescue! [thinkprogress.org]
Jumping into the debate over amending the U.S. Constitution to ban gay marriage, Sarah Palin is at odds with her own running mate in wanting to restrict the joys of divorce to straight couples only. John McCain, like so many other Republican sweet talkers, says it should be left up to states' decisions, effectively punting. George W. Bush was another smoothie, twice charming the knickers off of religious conservatives, but dropped the subject after getting elected. But not Palin. She may have gay friends, but she'll be damned if she'll let them enjoy the same rights she does, and if she has to add the only Constitutional amendment to take away a right instead of expand it, that's what she'll do. The last and only other time someone tried that was Prohibition, and that turned out so well. Just imagine; speakeasies with jaunty gay couples sneaking in with the secret knock, getting gay married at all hours; gay-marrying preachers bootlegging gay-marriage certificates over state lines; backwoods redneck gay couples distilling their own homemade gay marriages. The horror.
In a Palin administration (c'mon, admit it, how long before John starts checking his Metamucil for the aroma of bitter almonds?), Sarah will give the religious conservatives the real satisfaction on the gay marriage ban that all those old guys could never give them, like only a woman can.
They'll never know it could be so good.

To say it's been a rough week for BusinessWeek would be an understatement. Yesterday, the axe fell hard, and new parent Bloomberg LP has cut around 130 people for the business mag's staff — including 60 to 70 from the edit side.
Among those getting pink slips were big names like media columnist Jon Fine, community manager Shirley Brady and tech writers Steve Wildstrom and Stephen Baker.
Business journalism blog Talking Biz News has kept a running tally of outgoing BusinessWeekers since yesterday, and today has an updated list. Blogger Chris Roush says senior writer Pete Engardio, Atlanta bureau chief Dean Foust, Philadelphia bureau chief Amy Barrett, management department editor Jena McGregor, associate editor Hardy Green, senior editor James Cooper, senior photo editor Kathy Moore and Prudence Crowther, head of the copy desk, will not be making the transition to Bloomberg's BusinessWeek.
Some have opined that Bloomberg's cuts are targeting big name columnists as the magazines heads toward a more singular voice like The Economist. As one anonymous BusinessWeek employee told The New York Times yesterday:
"If you think about voice, they seem to be getting rid of it. Every indication we have from Bloomberg people is their model is The Economist, which has a singular voice, not multiple voices."
Obviously Bloomberg would like the new BusinessWeek to be as financially successful as The Economist, but is copying its voice and style the way to get there? Guess we're about to find out.

disarmed him. Then only did he look
into his face. The next instant he
was staggering under the blow.
"Philippe!" he exclaimed.
"You! A German spy!"
Philippe bowed his head. Jean
hastily pulled the revolvers from his
brother's belt
"Philippe," he said in a broken
voice, "you must pay the penalty of
your espionage. But spare me the
suffering of having to capture you.
Walk down the road to where the
sentry is posted and there hand your
self over. Tell a plausible tale which
wiE account for your presence, so
that they may understand you are at

be -shot but I shall not be responsi

from this field and if you fail I shall
myself hand you over to justice." f
"A pretty plan," sneered his broth

had grown to be his exact counter

"You were passing yourself off as
myself?" he asked.
"Yes, Jean. Well?"
"Philippe, will you not spare me
this shame in our father's name?"
Suddenly, with a military salute,
Philippe left his brother' and started
away down the road. Jean Janvier
watching, saw him accosted by the
sentry, heard his reply; a moment
later he heard the discharge of a rifle.
He crept stealthily forward, hoping
that the traitor had paid the price
without inquiries or the shame of a
court-martial. But, as he drew near,
he saw Philippe being marched away
by the picket
Half an hour later Capt Janvier
walked into the camp where the spy

convening of a court-martial. . The
officer in charge, who had not inter

a glimpse of his face, was unknown
to Janvier. However, the latter, as
his senior, issued his commands.
"I wish to interrogate the prison

which showed him to be in charge o
one of the advanced companies.
The younger officer conducted him
to the hut in which the spy was im
prisoned. The sentry, at the door ad

Janvier entered. ,
Philippe, seated upon the floor, was
writing a last letter by the light df a
piece of candle that had been sup

He looked up at his brother.
"So you have come to gloat over

"No, Philippe," answered Jean Jan

that I was sure you were fighting on

I can understand that you might hon

"An honorable profession, brother,
for a man who is debarred from more

"But how comes it that you are on

"I have no kindly thoughts of

RIP, Lois: City's star falls after popular bloom
City's fallen star: RIP, Lois
Corpse flower's bloom collapses, marking end to community event
Published 5:30 am, Sunday, July 25, 2010
Houston's beloved corpse flower Lois bit the dust Sunday evening.
Or at least her famous bloom did.
After weeks of drawing record crowds to the Houston Museum of Natural Science, the spadix of the stinky flower collapsed about 4:45 p.m. — leaving visitors to mourn the loss.
"We came to see a piece of history," said Mark Swist, a 27-year-old Austin resident who was waiting in line when the bloom fell. "It's kinda disappointing to be so close. We wanted to see it in real life, but we're just enjoying being here and the experience."
Roughly 65,000 visitors made their way to see Lois in July, more than triple the Cockrell Butterfly Center's June figures.
The so-called corpse flower - nicknamed for its stench - drew a cultlike following since word of her potential bloom spread earlier this month with thousands watching the bloom via webcam. It was just the second rare Amorphophallus titanum bloom in Texas and the 29th in the nation.
"These last few weeks have been crazy, exhilarating," said Nancy Greig, director of the Cockrell Butterfly Center. "The neatest thing for me, a botanist by training, was seeing people getting so excited about a plant."
Cordelia Price, 54, visited Lois dozens of times and was at the center when she fell.
"I knew it was going to happen. It's just kind of sad," the Houston resident said. "It really was majestic when it was open."
Decline on display
Now that the spadix has toppled, the rest of the visible part of the flower will be "sucked" back into the corm underground, Greig said. The museum plans to keep Lois on display for the visitors - both at the museum and watching the webcam - to observe her decline from the image Houston has grown to love to nothing more than a bigger corm underground.
She'll eventually be unearthed, weighed and dusted with powdered sulfur to prevent damage. When Lois dries off, she'll be repotted in fresh soil and kept dry until next spring, at which time experts hope she will produce a leaf.
It could take years for Lois to recuperate enough mass to bloom again, experts said, adding that they hope the next time her tuber is bigger and that she'll be able to produce fruit.
The museum has another corpse flower in the greenhouse that could flower sometime in the future.
They've learned a few lessons that they hope will help with future blooms.
"All flowers are different individually," Greig said. "Maybe this one was a tall and skinny kind that doesn't open much."
Greig and others have speculated that Lois may not have reached full bloom because she was moved from the greenhouse to the exhibit area. The temperature drop could have put the plant in shock, they said.
"Certainly we would not subject it to air conditioning as we did in our ignorance," Greig said. "We would do some things different."
Hometown pride
The museum stayed open around the clock most of last week to accommodate the tremendous public interest in the rare plant. Some of the extra revenue will go to the center's capital campaign, Greig said.
Many Houstonians felt a sense of pride at being hosts to such a rare occurrence in the botany world.
"It's cool to have such a rare event take place so close to where we live," David McWhirter, 23, said. "Not everybody gets a chance to see stuff like this."

Cytokine production by CD4+ T cells from mice with active collagen-induced arthritis (CIA), treated with an inoculation of 4-hour lipopolysaccharide-(LPS-) stimulated dendritic cells (DCs) and dexamethasone (DXM) preconditioning. Mice received 2.0 mg/kg DXM from day 29 to day 34 after CIA induction (DXM group). Another group of mice were additionally injected at day 35 with
4-hour LPS-stimulated DCs loaded with type II collagen (CII) (DXM/4hLPS/CII/DCs group). The 4hLPS/CII/DCs group received 4-hour LPS-stimulated DCs loaded with CII, but without DXM preconditioning. The CIA control group corresponds to mice that did not receive any treatment. CD4+ T cells purified from mouse spleens at day 47 after CIA induction were stimulated with concanavalin A for 72 hours, and IL-10, IL-17, and IFN-
levels in supernatants were quantified by ELISA. Bars represent the mean of three experiments.

Our little girls (aged 5 & 3) absolutely loved the Pop Arty jewellery tub and had hours of fun making gorgeous items of jewellery for all members of the family. This toy is definitely a "stayer" rather than a fad that will be grown out of quickly. The best bit is that adults can have fun making with this too (Grandma was a massive fan).
We also ordered a world map jigsaw puzzle and children of the world lacing cards which were both nicely packaged and of good quality.
The Top Toy Box website was easy to navigate and delivery was prompt. We would definitely order from Top Toy Box again.

text: What would you do?? Coming to WDW Oct 16th-Oct 27th I thought I had my itinerary all planned out, until I added yet another day. I've gone from 7 nights now to 11 nights. I won't be adding anymore. Originally, I had my family-myself, DH and 2 boys (3 & 6) staying 5 nights at AKL and 5 nights at the Poly. Now that I've added the additional night, it is 6 nights AKL and 5 nights Poly. My question/confusion is..do I switch the order and do 6 nights Poly and 5 nights AKL? So, Poly 1st then AKL or AKL then Poly? I don't know where to start off? I've got a lot of ADR's and 1 MK day, possibly 2 in the first 6 nights, along with AK (which I would move if I changed the order of resorts) I also have us attending DHS Dance Party on the EMH night (which would be a Sunday evening) I would have to change some of my ADR's, but I don't mind as long as they are available?? Any help from all you experts would be wonderful!! Thanks!

Colt sells only through distributors, so you'll have to find a store that either has Colts in stock, will order from a distributor; or, look for NIB examples on the auction sites.
before I bought mine I visited and called a number of gun shops in a 50+ mile radius for almost 6 months before I put in an order at Buds. The answer was always the same, we will get some soon, when the distributor gets them. I finally called Colt and they told which distribotors were shipped which models recently and gave me some contacts. I called a few of the distributors who all said tell them which gun shop and they would deliver one when they got one.
Haa! Buds emailed to say my gun was ready! I think the distributors keep the supply low and demand high.
