The notice requests that the tenant return the completed notice to landlord or agent containing their decision so the form may be processed. This notice contains standard language that is commonly used in this type of notice; however, the landlord or the rental company may add additional language so that the document will fit their specific needs.

Lifestyle and beauty guru Stacy Cox joined us with some clever ways to clean up your holiday party.
FIND HER: www.stacycox.com
1. Left Over Wine & Juice
Freeze into cubes and save them for recipes that call for vino like slow-cooker red wine short ribs
Consolidate half-consumed bottles to make a boozy syrup that you can drizzle over waffles, ice cream or fruit.
Go to www.realsimple.com for instructions.
With the frozen juice cubes, like apple juice for example, run them over your face and neck because the malic acid in the apple juice will exfoliate dead skin cells off your face and give you a refreshing glow
2. Water Rings on Furniture
Try rubbing a bit of nongel toothpaste onto the affected area, then buff with clean cloth or substitute full fat mayo for the toothpaste. Leave on for at least an hour before wiping clean.
And while you're at it apply some of that mayo to your hair because the oil in mayo works as a conditioning agent to restore shine and hydration to tresses overworked by curling irons and overdosed on too much hairspray!
3. Flat Club Soda
Use flat club soda to hydrate houseplants. It usually contains a phosphate which promotes growth and root development.
For your beauty regimen try rinsing clean hear with unflavored club soda to smooth strands and fight frizz!
4. Fallen Holiday Tree Needles and Branches
Re-purpose needles as mulch
Use branches to protect delicate plants from frost
Little sprigs can be used as decoration on gifts boxes in lieu of gift bows
For an aromatherapy infusion, gather up needles, place them in a glass dish and put them near your bed for a calming pine/woodsy/holiday scent to help you unwind before bed. If you want, you can add a couple extra drops of peppermint or eucalyptus for example!

Gasp, my wife made a recipe out of a cookbook other than the Amish Cook's?? Blasphemy! Just kidding, there are a ton of good recipes in this world and the Pioneer Woman (Ree Drummond) has quite a few. Lovina even has one of her books so Pioneer Woman makes the grade! And besides Rachel DID use Amish-grown strawberries from Wayne County, Indiana for this cake so this isn't totally off topic. The cake was the occasion for her father's 60th birthday day and, wow, what a decadent way to celebrate. I told her that might have to be on MY birthday wish list for this year!:) Look at this gorgeous cake! And to get the recipe? SIGH, I'll have to send you over to the Pioneer Woman for that, but come back!:) Below is my slice of cake bliss.:

3 Low Hanging A/B Testing Opportunities To Increase Conversion Rate
Landing pages can be categorized into two buckets: high converting ones and the usual ones. Thanks to my background in A/B testing, I have had the privilege of observing many of our customers improve their landing pages by testing various elements.
It's true that testing all parts of a landing page is the only way to optimize conversions but many times, there are low hanging optimization opportunities that can be addressed right away.
Again and again, in hundreds of A/B tests, I have seen marketers fix these low hanging opportunities and increase conversions dramatically. Note that I am not saying these are the only fixes you can make, but in my opinion, many landing pages on the web have not even done this level one of optimization. So, if you have a landing page and are feeling giddy to test something, here's what you should start with.
Headlines Are More Important Than You Think
Headlines would be unimportant if visitors on the web had patience. It would be an ideal world if they end up spending hours just to understand your offering. Sadly, visitors have short attention spans and are typically considering multiple offerings (from competitors) simultaneously.
Within the first few seconds, if your headline doesn't talk about what you are offering, most visitors are going to bounce. The job of a headline is to convey what the offering is and convince visitors to spend further time on the landing page.
If you want to test headlines, start with these best practices:
- Have a headline. I'm surprised to see how many landing pages lack headlines. If you don't have one, try including one.
- Headlines should be concrete. Don't talk about "How we have revolutionized XYZ" or "Welcome to Bob's ABC site" or "Be ready to be amazed". Simply talk about what your offering is about. Maybe something like: "Social media monitoring for Fortune 500 companies".
- Headlines should be the first thing a visitor looks at. If you have a small headline or one with poor contrast, that defeats the point. Have a large, prominent block of text that you can actually call a headline.
Call To Action Buttons: Probably The Easiest Way To Increase Conversions
Visitors have low attention spans and don't like to think too much while surfing the web. That's the assumption you have to take while designing and optimizing a landing page. The job of call to action buttons, as the name suggests, is to scream on the landing page and ask for visitors to take some action.
Many of our customers have tested their call to action buttons. Here are some of the prominent case studies:
- Don't have too many calls to action. When you enter a retail store, imagine if multiple sales people compete for your attention. Would you feel comfortable shopping in such a store? I guess not. Similar case holds for landing pages as well. If you have multiple calls to action (like "Signup for trial", "Download whitepaper" and "Newsletter signup" on the same page), you are going to confuse visitors on what should s/he be doing next. Try minimizing the number of calls to action. The ideal is just one no-brainer call to action.
- Have an actionable call to action. Having dull calls to action like "Submit" or "Click here" does not excite and inform any visitor. Try to incorporate benefits into the call to action itself. Something like: "Get Started Now for Free", "Buy now to save $25" or "Join 25,000 other customers". Learn the art of good copywriting and apply it on your call to action.
- Have a big, prominent, visible call to action. You don't want visitors to specifically look for a call to action on a page. It should jump right before their eyes. This is a reason why in repeated A/B tests, it has been found that red colored call to actions (on a white background) work much better as compared to dull colors.
Social Proof: The Rarely Used Magic Tonic For Landing Pages
After fixing headlines and call to action buttons, it's time to introduce some social proof on your landing page. In spite of working so well in removing fear and hesitation from visitors' minds, social proof is rarely displayed on landing pages. It is very important that some kind of assurance is given to the visitor. And social proof does a great job of doing that.
Once a visitor is convinced that the offering is relevant to their needs, they want to understand who else has been using it. They want to know whether you are an established brand with thousands of customers or an upstart one person business.
Social proof allays all these fears by convincing the visitor that their time will not get wasted on the landing page because hundreds of other people have benefited from the offering. So, at a prominent location on a landing page (preferably above the page fold), try including social proof (which can be any of the following):
- Logos or number of customers/users
- Testimonials
- Case Studies
- Media Coverage
Summing It All Up
Headlines, call to action buttons and social proof… These three elements of a landing page are low hanging opportunities that all marketers can utilize to increase conversion rates. But a key point to note here is that these are opportunities for testing and not a guarantee of increasing conversion rate. There are many examples on the Internet where landing pages perform well even when they have poor headlines, small call to action buttons and no social proof at all.
Hence start testing using the ideas in this post but don't take them for granted!

Towards the end of the novel "Eclipse," Edward is repeatedly emotionally traumatized by his fiance's (Bella Swan's) expressions of love for his former mortal enemy, Jacob Black. First as Edward keeps watch over Bella, while she is asleep in a Sleeping bag, wrapped in Jacob's arms, Edward listens in pain, as Bella "sleep talks in her sleep" and whispers, "Jacob, 'MY' Jacob."
And the next morning as Edward watches (through the minds of a half a dozens werewolves) he witnesses, Bella "crushing her lips to Jacob's, over and over again repeatedly in more passionate ways, than she had ever done with him. And he must have been ripped apart as he listens to the woman he adores whisper, "I love you Jacob"
Edward is powerless to keep his ever alert clairvoyant mind, from watching as Bella repeatedly tells Jacob to, "Come back to me. And finally he watches as his beloved fiance welcomes a final gentle kiss good bye from Jacob. And Edward observes the relief and love in Bella's face as Jacob proclaims. "I'll be back soon."
Mercifully Jacob finally leaves Edward's fiance and runs off. But Jacob's vivid visual images of Bella's kisses and her proclamation of her love for Jacob, form an unending loop that keeps replaying in the minds of Edward and every member of the wolf packs minds. The constant "vivid" unending images of Edward's fiance's betrayal are so disturbing that they eventually even physically nauseate Bella's highly principled friend Quill.
Later in the day Bella listens as Charlie describes Edward's expression of his emotions on seeing Jacob at Billy's cabin. Charlie told Bella,"Edward looked down on Jacob's injured body with the concern and affection that a man would have shown his own brother!" "I have to see Jacob at once," was Bella's only acknowledgement that she had heard her father's expression of respect and admiration for Edward."
Discussion question: Edward's Love for Jacob! What was that all about ?"

The new hospital building at Rush University Medical Center, which opened in January, turns heads with its innovative exterior design.
And in this case, beauty is more than skin-deep. The functional design inside the new hospital also warrants attention, including a central element of any building: heat and light control. These everyday concerns are elevated to a new level within the hospital.
"We designed the hospital to provide a comfortable, energy-efficient environment for patients, visitors and staff," says Michael Wisniewski, director of medical center engineering at Rush.
Efficient temperature control
While older heating and cooling systems monitor temperatures floor by floor, the state-of-the-art building automation system in the new hospital monitors each of the more than 1,500 thermostats individually and monitors temperature in every airflow and ventilation component. Each is set at 72 degrees, and users can adjust the temperature no more than six degrees in either direction.
And air conditioning in the new hospital actually does double duty. Air conditioning works by pulling heat out of the air, which creates condensed moisture within the air conditioning system. This condensation is then captured and recycled. Some is used to water vegetation across the campus. Some goes to replace evaporated water in the central energy plant's cooling towers, where hot water from the air conditioning process is cooled. In all, this recycling will save about 1.3 million gallons of water each year.
The latest in lighting
The new hospital is among a limited number of buildings nationwide using light emitting diode (LED) lighting today, Wisniewski says, which yields up to 80 percent energy savings over incandescent bulbs. Timers gradually dim the lights in the evening for further energy savings — and to promote a calming atmosphere. "Your body's natural clock knows when it's night, and bright lights can create a level of stress," Wisniewski says. "Slowly dimming the lights mimics the setting of the sun for a soothing effect. It also naturally signals people to slow down and speak more quietly, which further helps relieve stress."
Green — and white — roofs
Shade from rooftop gardens, as well as natural cooling processes of the soil and plants, help insulate the hospital from summer heat and reduce cooling costs. Other roof areas are painted white to reflect heat from sunlight. Both techniques also help counter the urban heat island effect, which makes cities hotter than surrounding areas. And the patient and family garden on the fourth floor also provides a relaxing space to help visitors unwind.
Natural light
The hospital's unique butterfly shape allows every patient room to have a window to the outside. That means a better hospital experience for patients, plus less need for electric lighting.
Harnessing heat makes sense economically — but in a hospital, it has even greater value. "Ultimately, these innovations mean patients will receive better care," Wisniewski says. "We never stop striving for that kind of excellence."

Interesting that it's BoP but doesn't require Alchemy to use it. The other BoP profession-made mounts (the carpets and flying machines) require their respective professions to use. So technically, if you were crazy enough to do it, you could get the mount then drop Alchemy and still use it.

After an emotional 6-4 win over Albion to start the day Saturday, Post 83 didn't have enough left to keep up in the second game of the day and fell to Pemberville 3-0 in the round-robin tourney.
"This was definitely going to be a battle," Palsa said. "We knew it from start. In baseball, anybody will tell you after an emotional win it's hard to come back and duplicate that level of play and enthusiasm.
"We might have been flat in the second game."
Both teams entered Saturday's nightcap undefeated in the tourney and sporting 11-3 season records.
Pemberville scored a run in the first inning and two more in the sixth.
Zach Butler (Plymouth) suffered his first loss of the season from the mound.
In seven innings of work, Butler struck out 14, walked two, gave up five hits and three runs.
"We were confident in pitching Zach (Butler)," Palsa said. "We knew he would throw a great game and he did but their kid threw a little better." Devin Dubbert (Perkins) had a big hit fly foul that Palsa said might have changed the game. "(Kyle) Fluharty (Heidelberg/Willard) started off with a walk and then Dubbert had a hit that went about 340 feet out and missed going over the fence by about two feet," he said. "That could have given us the momentum that we needed and might have changed the game."
Seth Bryant (Perkins) and Alex Walts (Amherst) each had a hit while Fluharty went 2 for 2. In the first game Saturday, Post 83 saw a 2-0 lead quickly change to a 3-2 deficit in the top of the sixth inning.
"Albion threw a left-handed pitcher at us who really did a fantastic job and kept us off balance during the first five innings," Palsa said. "He had a very deceptive move to home and really controlled our running game." Luke Fraley (Perkins) singled to kick off the bottom of the sixth and reached second when Matt Clark (Perkins) put down a bunt for a hit. Noah Asmus (Rossford) followed up with another bunt to load the bases with no outs.
Walts' sac fly drove in Fraley and then Quinten Harrington (Perkins) smacked a two-run single to score Clark and Asmus. Fluharty finished with a sac fly to bring in Walts.
"That was a huge inning for us," Palsa said. "We bounced back and got back on top. Kyle went out there and slammed the door in the seventh."
Albion got another run on the board in the seventh.
Fluharty took home the win after 11 strikeouts, one walk, nine hits and four runs through seven innings.
"He did fantastic today," Palsa said of Fluharty. "He gave up some runs in the sixth and seventh but that was probably because he was tired. 11 strikeouts and only one walk is fantastic."
Harrington went 3 for 4 and scored two runs while Fraley, Clark, and Asmus had a hit and each scored a run.

While the singer is busy switching roles between Kurt Cobain and Pee Wee Herman, the band is struggling with its own identity crisis -- trying to decide whether they want to stick to the melodies or hide behind a wall of white noise.

Gyles Brandreth writes in his memoirs:
"Sunday, May 10, 1998
Early start: appearing on Breakfast With Frost, to be broadcast from 11 Downing Street. The Chancellor [Gordon Brown] is grouchily amiable, but so earnest — and still biting his fingernails to the quick.
After the show, he took us upstairs to his flat. He lives above No 10, while Blair and family are in the No 11 duplex, which is bigger and more like a proper house.
I was intrigued that, when he took us into his bedroom, the Chancellor rather ostentatiously opened the built-in wardrobes, as if he wanted us to see the women's frocks that were hanging in there.
They looked quite large, but I don't think they belong to Gordon. I assume they belong to his girlfriend [Sarah Macaulay, who he later married].
I presume he was keen for us to know that he has one — and that she's not a 'beard'. I don't think he does anything without calculation."
Now the SNP know how UKIP voters feel all the time.

I am currently writing THE END to my manuscript (that's book two of seven for those that I might have continually
whined discussed this with), and as such, it's very hard to find a great topic to blog about, although I do love Jacquie's "Is it Just Me?" topic and almost picked that one, but then I decided to create my own cornucopia, potpourri, smorgasbord, all-you-can-eat-buffet, miscellanea, any other good nouns for odd assortments (other than my family)? So, today, I will present, the list of things that are catching my eye:
1. The premiere of Glee was last night, but since I am writing this on Tuesday night, pre-Glee, as it were, I cannot analyze or delve into a commentary of glee-gasmic proportions. However, I will probably put something in the comments, because you know, I think people should know what I thought of
tonight's last night's episode of Glee.
2. Tonight is also the premiere of Criminal Minds. Now, in our last episode, Tim Curry played a demented homicidal maniac who kills people when blackouts are occurring and yes, he has really rotten teeth. This little fact cracks me up. I can picture the writers:
"We need a big baddie."
"Tim Curry! He's great. He's English! He's got those big, crazy eyes."
"I don't know. It's not enough."
"He's English! And we'll make him homeless English! Even better."
"Creepier. Think creepier."
"He's English. That's totally creepy."
"English aren't creepy, they just like strange foods."
"And that's why their teeth are rotten."
"We make him a cannibal?"
"No, dude. The teeth. He'll have rotten teeth!"
See the clip below in case you think I'm just making all this up.
3. The recession is over. I know, everybody can know heave a HUGE sigh of relief. I began whistling Tomorrow first thing yesterday, because I knew that
Tomorrow today was going to be recession-free.
4. I am not a fan of Newsweek's new format. Apparently neither is Fareed Zakaria who has moved to Time. There's a very cerebral, faux-intelligentsia, coffee-table-book feel to it. Time is like apple pie. It's comfort food, sort of USA Today on performance-enhancing-drugs.
5. Speaking of apple pie, we had our first apple pie of apple season last night. YUM.
6. Speaking of performance-enhancing-drugs, did he, or didn't he (Lance Armstrong). Except for the Sheryl Crow thing (JERK!), I like Lance Armstrong, and don't want to think of him doing bad things, except there is the whole Sheryl Crow thing, so I feel conflicted.
7. I'm looking forward to The Town, and also Easy A. My hub says that Robin Hood (the new one) was pretty cool. My children think I only like Russell Crowe movies because of Russell Crowe's asthetics. He actually is a really good actor, although, much like Lance Armstrong, I suspect the Jerk is strong in that one.
8. I really enjoyed this article on the history of the bleep, especially the use of the word obscenicons.
That's it for today's post. Please feel free to comment on anything, because I know you WANT THE ARC OF JULIA LONDON'S THE YEAR OF LIVING SCANDALOUSLY. And if you comment, you are entered to win. So, are you Gleek, are you a fan of apple pie? A fan of Tim Curry? Do you think it's fair that people think the English have poor dental hygiene, or is this merely the colonies talking smack? Speaking of talking smack, do you think Lance A is a doper? What's catching your eye today? Is this a good Wednesday or a bad one?

If I'm ever euthanized, it hope it's as gentle as the way Chief Justice John Roberts put down the Voting Rights Act's preclearance requirement.
Not the whole act, mind you. The prohibition on any "standard, practice, or procedure" that "results in a denial or abridgement of the right of any citizen of the United States to vote on account of race or color" is still constitutionally permissible. And folks can sue to enforce that.
But the preclearance requbirement is now effectively gone. That's the rule that the federal government has to approve changes to voting laws in certain jurisdictions that haven't been so great about race – in that folks registering black people to vote had been murdered in there, or, they'd had really bad records of African-American voter turnout in the past.
Strictly speaking, the preclearance requirement is not gone — it just no longer applies to any jurisdiction in the country any longer. The Court invalidated the method by which it is determined which jurisdictions are subject to preclearance, rather than preclearance itself. So, now no jurisdiction is subject to preclearance — the preclearance formula is gone.
Many people who are concerned about whether black people are allowed to vote think that the preclearance requirement has been an important tool to make sure black people enjoy the right to vote.
Including, it seems, the Chief Justice himself….

On Another Level with Chelsea: Battle and Brew
We've all heard of all these awesome themed bars, that serve up exotic cocktails, foods and events to cater to your needs. For me, these types of places seemed so far away or I had no idea where they were. Fast forward to me turning 21 years old and finally moving over to Atlanta, Georgia, a completely foreign land to a born and raised Californian. I had heard through a friend about Battle&Brew, which was described to me as a videogame themed bar. Before that the only place I knew that was remotely like this place was the Mana Bar in Australia, which always seemed like a dream to me. Playing videogames, while drinking beer and/or themed cocktail drinks… definitely couldn't be true. I've been to Battle&Brew multiple times, since moving to Georgia and each time has been an amazing experience. It doesn't matter if it's a busy night or a tournament or trivia night, everyone is having a ridiculously good time.
They offer a variety of different experiences for every customer who comes in, anywhere from tournaments, trivia nights, different gaming consoles/PCs to relax with and a rock band stage. The walls are decorated with photos of amazing cosplayers, gaming related art and posters from different games over the years. Drinks and food, oh man the drinks and the food! The food is extremely amazing and comforting, you aren't going to find something you don't love on their menu and chances are it's named after one of your favorite videogames. The Walking Dead, Red/Blue Portal, The Fifth Element, Rainbow Dash and Pokemon Shooters also all happen to be drinks served up at Battle&Brew, which I may have treated myself to and a few more.

"At first I thought it was just a bunch of people having a good time," said Leinster, a retired military officer. "Then I heard the profanity."
From about 100 yards away, he couldn't tell who was screaming what. But he did see two guys nose to nose. Then he saw "the big guy hit the little guy twice."

Greater Titusville RenaissanceA community volunteer initiative which seeks to enhance our quality of life through the thoughtful balance of nature and commerce, the inspiration and initiation of arts and culture, and the preservation and showcasing of our pristine natural resources.

Join Our Renaissance
Committees are at work promoting growth in the following areas.
We invite you to pick a committee and join us.
Business Development
The mission of the Business Development Committee is to encourage the commitment of leadership and resources toward creating a vital, livable, walkable community where business is supported and sustained, and where the character of the community (e.g. Nature, History, Space) is appropriately considered and incorporated, while seeking to enhance county and city economic development efforts.
The Business Development committee's pilot projects include: the creation an Arts/Entertainment District in downtown Titusville (from Julia Street to Garden Street) that, ultimately, connects with Sandpoint and Marina Parks and the purchase and rebirth of Miracle City Mall as a streetscape multi-use destination.
Where possible, we will first seek to maximize existing local businesses and add new concepts to create a vibrant, optimal marketing mix in the downtown district. Once this endeavor is successfully initiated, we will tackle other projects on the list below.
The approach to be used will be a Weed, Feed & Seed approach. While committee work may be done simultaneously, we will be disciplined and complete steps as sequentially as possible.
City of Titusville and the Space Coast Economic Development Commission: www.ChooseTitusville.com
Corridors & Beautification
The Greater Titusville Renaissance Steering Committee recognized immediately that our corridors need improvement. Since these are the avenues by which our visitors first view our community, it is imperative that they present a "first-class" impression. The Corridor Committee portion of the Steering Committee decided to tackle three main corridors: Washington Ave (US-1), Cheney Highway (SR-50) and Garden Street (SR-406). In order to take best advantage of our initial group of volunteers, the team was divided into three sub-committees.
The three corridor sub-committees offer volunteers a chance to make a real difference in our community. The ideas outlined above are only an early sampling of some of the actions that have been envisioned to date. Ultimately we will rely on the creativity, initiate and hard work of many dedicated citizens to bring vision to reality. The Greater Titusville Renaissance is not just about how we look; it is also about how we think about our community. Citizen concern and action will make the difference.

- Medians and Landscaping
- Litter Control
Arts & Culture
There is growing evidence that thoughtful investment in arts and culture initiatives can generate significant economic benefits for cities. With the right strategy and implementation we are working toward creating increases in property values, revenues and jobs. "Placemaking" is not just the act of fixing up a space, but rather a whole process that creates the kind of places where people want to work, live and play. Community input is essential to the placemaking process. "In creative placemaking, partners from public, private, non-profit, and community sectors strategically shape the physical and social character of a neighborhood, town, city, or region around arts and cultural activities" (National Endowment for the Arts).
This committee will focus on capitalizing on arts and culture, considering North Brevard's current assets, inspiration and potential. In order to understand our resources better and to foster successful social networks and initiatives we are recruiting local citizens to invest their time and talent in research, planning and moving forward with proactive, evidence based activities. Through deliberate fact-finding, research, and analysis, the ultimate success will be to create public spaces that promote health, happiness and wellbeing; encourage businesses and organizations to relocate and/or expand; and celebrate the uniqueness of our waterfront community.
Why Now?
Are you happy with your community? Do you like the way North Brevard looks? Can you convince someone to move here? Maybe it's time you decided to join the Greater Titusville Renaissance! The end of the Space Shuttle Program has brought an enormous challenge to the citizens of Greater Titusville, but not one that we haven't met and conquered before.
Greater Titusville is Open For Business! We are poised to become an economic engine in Central Florida with an eye to the future offering a unique business and social environment. Read more.
Miracle City Mall
What once was a bustling mall, Miracle City, off U.S. 1 in Titusville, is now a symbol of economic troubles. Led by Brevard County Commission Chairman Robin Fisher and Titusville Mayor Jim Tulley, the Greater Titusville Renaissance has made redeveloping the mall a top goal. Commissioner Robin Fisher is taking the lead to find a buyer for the mall site, as well as find investors who would redevelop the property into an open-air "lifestyle center" along the lines of The Avenue Viera, combined with medical facilities and possibly other commercial tenants. "It could be a tremendous turning point" for the city, Titusville Area Chamber of Commerce President Marcia Gaedcke said. "It would be fabulous. It would be a great win for the community." Continued on GTR website ...
In late September, 2012 a contract was signed between the owner and a Tampa based developer to develop the Mall area. It will be called "Miracle Town Center." The buyer has six months to complete a feasability study before the purchase is completed. Miracle Town Center is expected to include restaurants, retail stores, offices, and a health care facilities.
Contact Greater Titusville Renaissance to invest in or to express interest in becoming a tenant at a redeveloped Miracle City Mall.
The North Brevard
Economic Development Zone
The establishment of an Economic Development Zone with tax increment funding will allow the North Brevard area to formulate and focus on a strategy for economic development and job creation that is desperately needed in the wake of Space Center layoffs. The tax increment revenues generated by the establishment of the Economic Zone would be administered by a dependent special district focusing on North Brevard and the Titusville community. Effective economic development incentives and community redevelopment requires the establishment of dedicated funding mechanisms. Our competitors do this and are succeeding! - Continued
The Communications Committee acts as the liaison between each of the other Greater Titusville Renaissance Committees and the community by updating social media and the website on an ongoing basis.
Communication Committee members are also ambassadors for Greater Titusville Renaissance by making presentations to community groups and organizations to solicit volunteer support in order to accomplish our mission and vision. Request a presentation to your group or organization!

Britney Spears' peeper documentarian-in-training had better get the long lens ready.
A temporary restraining order was issued today against Miranda Tozier-Robbins, the woman busted for trespassing on the Circus star's property back in April.
Tozier-Robbins must stay at least 100 yards away from both Spears and her spread in Calabasas, Calif.
The 26-year-old, onetime American Idol hopeful was originally due to be arraigned this morning on two misdemeanor charges, but the hearing was put off for one week after she showed up more than two hours late to the Malibu courthouse.
Los Angeles Superior Judge Jay Ford III even went so far as to issue a bench warrant for Tozier-Robbins' arrest, but recalled it when she finally arrived—at 10:45 a.m. for the 8:30 a.m. hearing—with an excuse in hand: She had to take a bus from Inglewood, about 25 miles away, in L.A.'s notorious rush hour traffic.
Tozier-Robbins also announced she would be defending herself in the proceedings, but Ford advised her against entering a plea until the next hearing. He also waived the $5,000 bail provided she returns to court next week, which she agreed to do.
Preferably, on time.
Meanwhile, one ruling made in court today was to the apparent dismay of Tozier-Robbins.
Although she was informed during her initial booking that she would get back the confiscated footage she shot at Spears' abode, the judge said he would wait a week before deciding on returning it.
It was bad news for Tozier-Robbins, who became visibly upset upon hearing the news, which probably accounted for her brusque refusal to comment to reporters on her way out of court.
"I don't talk for free," she said.
Spears was not and will not be present for the proceedings, as she's currently in the U.K. with her boys in the midst of a recently expanded world tour.

As winter hits and the gloves come on in the frosty north, I'm finally hitting the quality of running I had a couple months ago before my foot decided to fall apart during the TNF 50 miler. Perfect timing right? I'll still whip on the raceready shorts a few times before the snow gets too deep. Anywhooo...looking for some suggestions for LFRV snacks to stuff in the hand warmer. Preferably something that won't get too sticky, and more importantly...something I can look forward to eating 15 or 20 miles into the run! If you've got an easy "on the run" sticky foods solution, throw that in here as well. Actually, if you've got anything at all to say, throw it at me, I could use some interaction from like minded people!
Cheers :D

There are a lot of drinks you could invent with fruits
#1. pineapple + strawberries + ice + little of water
#2. mangoes + honey bee + ice + little of water
#3. banana's + strawberries + ice + little of water
#4. frozen banana's + blender + little of water = raw banana ice cream
#5. papaya & avocado salad
1 firm avocado
1/4 papaya
romaine lettuce
fresh lemon juice
2tbsp balsamic vinegar
1tbsp honey bee
1/4 cup olive oil
Salt & paper
1/2 tbsp lemon zest
Hope these few dugestions worked :)
enjoy! :D
I know it's not a raw book, but what about checking "Thrive" by Branden Braiser...sorry if the spelling is off- and the whole title isn't there- but you can google it and get the info on the book, anyway, he has some gels to make in there to take with you on your runs...made from dates and all....I believe they are raw....or you can make them raw....but reading the book and adjusting some of the recipes may be a place to start. Why not also check out Running Raw videos on Youtube.......or just grab those dates, put them into a little baggy and head out!.....This is something I may just start to do in the next few weeks on my long runs as I prepare for my 50k's this coming year! Feel free to friend me and we can continue to help each other out, if that was a help of course!....
I know many people love dates if just for how perfect they are for this exact/similar use. I would opt for the little bit dryer varieties (less sticky). For example, if you order from Bautista I know you can specifically order the #2's which are less wet and would be perfect for stuffing in your hand warmer or in a cycling jersey. Maybe some stalks of celery (chopped up to size) would go well with them too.
If you have a bottle you can carry with, bananas and celery are a good combo. Datorade would be good too. You can do blended watermelon too, but that's more of a summer time thing.
Happy running trails! :D

About the School of Art and Design
History and Enrollment
With 700+ undergraduate students, 50+ graduate students, and approximately 50 faculty members, the School of Art and Design at East Carolina University is the largest art school in North Carolina and one of the largest in the Southeast. Students come from not only North Carolina, but from other states and several foreign countries. More than half of new freshman have had at least two years of art in high school while approximately forty percent have had three or more years.
The East Carolina University School of Art and Design has been an accredited, institutional member of the National Association of Schools of Art and Design since 1962. Forty continuous years of specialized accreditation has resulted in a rigorous curriculum with flexibility and practical applications. The School of Art and Design is currently accredited until the year 2013. It is the only such program in the state of North Carolina and one of approximately 220 across the United States. This recognition is the hallmark of the faculty's dedication to effective teaching and the creation of the professional artist.
The School of Art and Design is dedicated to the idea that educating men and women in the visual arts constitutes a major responsibility in the total mission of higher education at East Carolina University. The curriculum in both the undergraduate and graduate programs encourages experimentation, the development of ideas, and problem solving in areas such as fine arts, applied arts, and art education and art history. The nearly fifty faculty and seven staff members believe that our graduates will make positive contributions to their communities and excel in their chosen professions.

Graduate Degree Choices
MFA in Art
MAED in Art Education
The School of Art and Design does not require a portfolio of artwork for admittance to the school as a freshman art student. After admittance to East Carolina University, based on general admission standards, all students who choose art are enrolled in the Foundation Program.
Candidates for the BFA degree take four introductory level 'survey' courses in studio. These courses introduce students to the various concentrations available in the School.
Following the art history foundation courses, BFA studio students take two more art history courses.
After completing the foundation courses with a minimum grade of "C", the specific survey course and at least Studio I in the desired concentration, the student is eligible to submit a portfolio of work to the faculty in that area. If the portfolio is approved, the student pursues advanced study--nine courses for the BFA. If the portfolio is not acceptable the student may re-submit, pursue entry into an alternate concentration, or transfer to a major outside the School of Art and Design.
Art electives (6 courses for the BFA) provide additional broad studio experiences in 2-dimensional and 3-dimensional media. The electives insure that students explore and experience artistic media in diverse areas.
The second portfolio review occurs for students in their senior year as they prepare for their required "senior show." The student's artwork must be juried by at least two faculty members. The campus and local community serve as hosts for many excellent shows celebrating the culmination of four hard years of intense artistic learning and expression.

Dear Fourth Grade Parents,
Tomorrow, students will receive their Winter Break reading assignments. They will each be given a different novel featuring animal main characters to read over the break. Then, they will complete a book report form and create a puppet representing the animal – both due on Thursday, January 16, 2014. This gives a full four weeks for them to read and complete the assignment. Since that is the last day of the current grading period, the grade itself will be the first of the next grading period.
All of the information, including the books being assigned, are already posted on JupiterGrades. I have also attached the overall instructions for your information. Click here for this information.
I carefully selected the books from the MMS library based on each student's needs and interests, so they will hopefully enjoy reading their assigned novel.
Please let me know if you have any questions or concerns.
Ms. Jennifer

Simply put, J Design has set the new standard for hand crafted guitar cabinet tone, quality and style.
Meet Jeff Earl, owner of J Design, master builder of all our custom and production amp cabinets, and my brother! I thought I'd take the opportunity to give Jeff some major kudos, and to let you in on what goes into our amazing cabinets.
Jeff started the company in 2001 while he was working full-time at a satellite company. He built cabs on nights and weekends and was building about 3 cabs per month.
In the summer of 2002 when my volume started to increase, I approached Jeff about helping out, and he proceeded to turn J Design into a full-time gig. In addition to my amps, Jeff spent 2 years on his own R&D, developing his Vintage line, which still exists today.
He always uses the highest quality lumber, "Baltic Birch is the best plywood to use" Jeff says, and he hand selects all of the maple, walnut, poplar, and other fine woods that go into our cabs. Consistent with our own approach to our brand and the electronics in our designs, Jeff shares "I never skimped on supplies and I never will". Jeff has done a great job maintaining this high level of quality while scaling up to Fargen's higher volumes now that our new dealer network is up-and-running.
I asked Jeff what sets J Designs apart, and he responded, "Every cab we build is handmade, made in the U.S.A. here in Millville, CA, and nothing is mass-produced. I see everything from start-to-finish and it's this hands-on approach, including a ten-point check on every single cabinet, that leads to our high quality products." J Design is family-owned and operated, and Jeff's team is quick and nimble, as evidenced in our recent rollout of the John Lennon series.
"My first thought on the cab was to enhance the tones that Ben set out to achieve from the amplifier circuit, while being able to 'frame' Lennon's artwork and showcase and display it in a way that wouldn't take away from the designs. We brainstormed a lot about vintage amps and styling and we wanted to produce something different … so we took the components we liked the most and then further innovated the cabinet design. Then we finalized the amps using custom-manufactured parts."

A new sports car now embodies the very core of the BMW brand in its most original style the M3 CSL. Taking up the heritage and legendary success of BMW's famous lightweight coupés which gained fame in touring car racing back in the '70s, the engineers of BMW M have once again created purist, thoroughbred sports car consistently designed and built to the highest standard of excellence.
In recognition of the fact that the weight spiral constantly going up can only be brought to a halt by radically reducing all moving masses, BMW M`s engineers, in developing this new car, have turned a thrilling lightweight concept into reality. For the new BMW M3 CSL is not only more powerful than the already very dynamic M3, but is also a lot lighter and therefore even more nimble.
In developing the M3 CSL, however, BMW M did not focus on the radical reduction of weight alone. On the contrary the task the designers and development engineers gave themselves was to create a car full of purist driving dynamics, a car absolutely pure in every respect, down to the very last component. And the result, finally, is unique, absolutely unmarred driving dynamics and a purist character.
The diet for the M3 was so severe that it had to loose most of the electrics from it's interior and even the radio.There is no AC either. It's roof is made of carbon fiber, the rear window is made of thin glass and the trunk lid - plastic. All this make the CSL lighter than the normal M3. And to emphasize the sportiness of this car, BMW equiped it with almost slick tires.
The BMW M3 CSL thus combines supreme agility with the ultimate driving experience. With its outstanding power-to-weight ratio of only 3.85 kg/bhp, this new car moves into an entirely new dimension. So the engineers at BMW M are quite sure that this sports car is able to break the 8-minute barrier on the legendary Northern Circuit of Nurburgring, the ultimate benchmark in driving dynamics.

|The Cath Lab Connection
When it comes to collaboration between JHH and Bayview, cardiology sets the pace
Michael Cole, administrative director of invasive cardiology at Hopkins Hospital, and Martha McDowell, cardiovascular manager at Bayview, began meeting weekly in mid-2000. They quickly recognized that they could save both hospitals money by purchasing together inventory materials they both use, particularly small-in-size but high-in-price items such as implantable defibrillators, drug-eluting stents and pacemakers.
"Vendors needed to understand that they had to negotiate with Mike and me as one unit, not two units separately just because we're on two different campuses," McDowell explains. "If Hopkins Hospital were getting, say, a 20 percent discount on 1,000 stents, we now both would get a 25 percent discount because, between the two of us, we bought 1,500."
In other words, both hospitals stand to gain even though they have strikingly different volumes when it comes to cardiology procedures. JHH implants approximately 340 defibrillators each year to control the irregular heartbeats of patients; Bayview, which just began performing such procedures recently, does only about 50. Purchasing defibrillators in bulk, with all their accompanying accessories, such as the leads and wires that deliver electrical charges to the cardiac tissue, saved the hospitals $625,000 this past year.
Hopkins Hospital also performs about 1,300 angioplasties per year, using approximately 1,100 stents, wire-mesh devices expanded with a tiny balloon to open up coronary artery blockages. Some are "drug-eluting," or coated with medication, time-released to prevent future blockages. Bayview does 50 angioplasties annually, using about 2.5 stents per procedure. Last year, what Cole calls "aggressive contract negotiations" for the best price on stents will save both facilities combined $430,000.
Bayview implants about 100 pacemakers annually. Hopkins, on the other hand, implanted 215 of these silver-dollar-size devices. Cole says aggressive price negotiations now are under way.
For Bayview's primary angioplasty program, McDowell, working with Michael Thomas, manager of the JHH cath lab, integrated staff to ensure round-the-clock coverage. McDowell's Bayview facility has only two nurses and one radiology technician. "The demand that 24/7 lab coverage puts on a small staff is significant," explains Cole.
"By integrating our labs, we have increased the number of staff capable of covering the on-call shifts. This has provided flexibility in staff scheduling and allowed for an uninterrupted continuum of patient care," Cole says, adding that he hopes other divisions use this model.
"There's just no reason for us to be operating separately," says McDowell.
