I run a business where we offer music lessons in student's homes throughout a local area. We currently rank for phrases like piano lessons + city, or voice lessons + city because we have a page specifically made for each keyword + city combination. The result is a very spammy looking site.
I'm afraid that eventually this duplicate content will be penalized especially when we move into hundreds of cities throughout the US. With that in mind, I came up with a system that would give each page original content specific to the keyword + city. Whenever we hire a new teacher the teacher must fill out a short teaching philosophy which will be displayed next to their picture on pages where they can teach. I go through the teaching philosophy and add a keyword or two for search engines as well.
For example someone who can teach piano lessons in Los Angeles would appear on the piano lessons in Los Angeles page. This way I have some more original content. I am also going to systematically ask for testimonials from all of our customers which will then be displayed on the respective pages as well. Therefore the more teachers and students we get, the more content we have available on our site.
With that said, I'm still trying to think of ways to make a better user experience with more specific content on each page. Recently I was looking through whiteboard Fridays and found this video:
I thought it may be a good idea if I went out and found perhaps local sheet music stores and added them to my database. Then I would link out to them on specific pages, saying "this is where you can go to buy sheet music" or "buy a trumpet here". It would be a lot more elegant than that, but hopefully you get the idea. My entire site is database driven so as soon as I put the new stores information in the database it could show up on the instrument/city pages within 10 miles of the store, or something like that.
I'm posting this for opinions. Is this a good strategy? Some of my worries are that these other businesses almost all provide lessons in their store, so they would be direct competitors. I also really don't want to detract from what I'm selling, which are lessons. I'm worried about conversion rates mostly.
The positives to the approach though may be that I can get some good linking to these individual pages from these stores (if they'll link to a competitor), which is something that would be very difficult to do for these deep instrument+city pages. Also I'm thinking if I included the stores physical address then perhaps search engines would be more encouraged that the instrument+city page actually represents a local service.
Any ideas and thoughts are greatly appreciated!

After all of the holiday indulgence and richness, I'm in the mood for simple, clean and nourishing food. Does anyone else feel the same? While I love the festive bustling Christmas season, I always look forward to the calmness and quiet of January. I love the idea of "hunkering down" and stocking up. I've been stocking our pantry with all of my favorite essentials so I can make everything we love without leaving the house.
This Potato Leek Soup is the perfect warm, comforting soup for holiday recovery... especially with crumbled bacon and fresh parmesan on top.with Parmesan & Bacon
Potato Leek Soup
Potato Leek Soup
4 large Yukon Gold potatoes
2 large leeks
1/4 cup of olive oil
Sea Salt & Cracked Pepper
4 cups of chicken stock
1/2 cup of cream
1/4 cup of parmesan cheese
crumbled bacon
olive oil
crusty bread
Peel and dice the potatoes, and chop the leeks. Add them to a large pot with the olive oil, salt and pepper. Cook on medium for 10-15 minutes until the soften.
Add chicken stock and continue to cook for 10 more minutes until potatoes are very soft.
Puree mixture in batches until smooth.
Add puree back into the pot, add cream and parmesan. Heat through.
Serve with crumbled bacon, a drizzle of olive oil, a generous sprinkling of parmesan cheese (that I also processed in the food processor - love the texture), and a big chunk of crusty bread.

text: Prayers Written At Vailima by Robert Louis Stevenson Scanned and proofed by David Price email@example.com Second proofing by Stephen BoothPrayers Written At VailimaINTRODUCTIONIn every Samoan household the day is closed with prayer and the singing of hymns. The omission of this sacred duty would indicate, not only a lack of religious training in the house chief, but a shameless disregard of all that is reputable in Samoan social life. No doubt, to many, the evening service is no more than a duty fulfilled. The child who says his prayer at his mother's knee can have no real conception of the meaning of the words he lisps so readily, yet he goes to his little bed with a sense of heavenly protection that he would miss were the prayer forgotten. The average Samoan is but a larger child in most things, and would lay an uneasy head on his wooden pillow if he had not joined, even perfunctorily, in the evening service. With my husband, prayer, the direct appeal, was a necessity. When he was happy he felt impelled to offer thanks for that undeserved joy; when in sorrow, or pain, to call for strength to bear what must be borne.Vailima lay up some three miles of continual rise from Apia, and more than half that distance from the nearest village. It was a long way for a tired man to walk down every evening with the sole purpose of joining in family worship; and the road through the bush was dark, and, to the Samoan imagination, beset with supernatural terrors. Wherefore, as soon as our household had fallen into a regular routine, and the bonds of Samoan family life began to draw us more closely together, Tusitala felt the necessity of including our retainers in our evening devotions. I suppose ours was the only white man's family in all Samoa, except those of the missionaries, where the day naturally ended with this homely, patriarchal custom. Not only were the religious scruples of the natives satisfied, but, what we did not foresee, our own respectability - and incidentally that of our retainers - became assured, and the influence of Tusitala increased tenfold.After all work and meals were finished, the 'pu,' or war conch, was sounded from the back veranda and the front, so that it might be heard by all. I don't think it ever occurred to us that there was any incongruity in the use of the war conch for the peaceful invitation to prayer. In response to its summons the white members of the family took their usual places in one end of the large hall, while the Samoans - men, women, and children - trooped in through all the open doors, some carrying lanterns if the evening were dark, all moving quietly and dropping with Samoan decorum in a wide semicircle on the floor beneath a great lamp that hung from the ceiling. The service began by my son reading a chapter from the Samoan Bible, Tusitala following with a prayer in English, sometimes impromptu, but more often from the notes in this little book, interpolating or changing with the circumstance of the day. Then came the singing of one or more hymns in the native tongue, and the recitation in concert of the Lord's Prayer, also in Samoan. Many of these hymns were set to ancient tunes, very wild and warlike, and strangely at variance with the missionary words.Sometimes a passing band of hostile warriors, with blackened faces, would peer in at us through the open windows, and often we were forced to pause until the strangely savage, monotonous noise of the native drums had ceased; but no Samoan, nor, I trust, white person, changed his reverent attitude. Once, I remember a look of surprised dismay crossing the countenance of Tusitala when my son, contrary to his usual custom of reading the next chapter following that of yesterday, turned back the leaves of his Bible to find a chapter fiercely denunciatory, and only too applicable to the foreign dictators of distracted Samoa. On another occasion the chief himself brought the service to a sudden check. He had just learned of the treacherous conduct of one in whom he had every reason to trust. That evening the prayer seemed unusually short and formal. As the singing stopped he arose abruptly and left the room. I hastened after him, fearing some sudden illness. 'What is it?' I asked. 'It is this,' was the reply; 'I am not yet fit to say, "Forgive us our trespasses as we forgive those who trespass against us."'It is with natural reluctance that I touch upon the last prayer of my husband's life. Many have supposed that he showed, in the wording of this prayer, that he had some premonition of his approaching death. I am sure he had no such premonition. It was I who told the assembled family that I felt an impending disaster approaching nearer and nearer. Any Scot will understand that my statement was received seriously. It could not be, we thought, that danger threatened any one within the house; but Mr. Graham Balfour, my husband's cousin, very near and dear to us, was away on a perilous cruise. Our fears followed the various vessels, more or less unseaworthy, in which he was making his way from island to island to the atoll where the exiled king, Mataafa, was at that time imprisoned. In my husband's last prayer, the night before his death, he asked that we should be given strength to bear the loss of this dear friend, should such a sorrow befall us.ContentsFor Success For Grace At Morning Evening Another For Evening In Time of Rain Another in Time of Rain Before a Temporary Separation For Friends For the Family Sunday For Self-Blame For Self-Forgetfulness For Renewal of JoyFOR SUCCESSLORD, behold our family here assembled. We thank Thee for this place in which we dwell; for the love that unites us; for the peace accorded us this day; for the hope with which we expect the morrow; for the health, the work, the food, and the bright skies, that make our lives delightful; for our friends in all parts of the earth, and our friendly helpers in this foreign isle. Let peace abound in our small company. Purge out of every heart the lurking grudge. Give us grace and strength to forbear and to persevere. Offenders, give us the grace to accept and to forgive offenders. Forgetful ourselves, help us to bear cheerfully the forgetfulness of others. Give us courage and gaiety and the quiet mind. Spare to us our friends, soften to us our enemies. Bless us, if it may be, in all our innocent endeavours. If it may not, give us the strength to encounter that which is to come, that we be brave in peril, constant in tribulation, temperate in wrath, and in all changes of fortune, and, down to the gates of death, loyal and loving one to another. As the clay to the potter, as the windmill to the wind, as children of their sire, we beseech of Thee this help and mercy for Christ's sake.FOR GRACEGRANT that we here before Thee may be set free from the fear of vicissitude and the fear of death, may finish what remains before us of our course without dishonour to ourselves or hurt to others, and, when the day comes, may die in peace. Deliver us from fear and favour: from mean hopes and cheap pleasures. Have mercy on each in his deficiency; let him be not cast down; support the stumbling on the way, and give at last rest to the weary.AT MORNINGTHE day returns and brings us the petty round of irritating concerns and duties. Help us to play the man, help us to perform them with laughter and kind faces, let cheerfulness abound with industry. Give us to go blithely on our business all this day, bring us to our resting beds weary and content and undishonoured, and grant us in the end the gift of sleep.EVENINGWE come before Thee, O Lord, in the end of thy day with thanksgiving.Our beloved in the far parts of the earth, those who are now beginning the labours of the day what time we end them, and those with whom the sun now stands at the point of noon, bless, help, console, and prosper them.Our guard is relieved, the service of the day is over, and the hour come to rest. We resign into thy hands our sleeping bodies, our cold hearths, and open doors. Give us to awake with smiles, give us to labour smiling. As the sun returns in the east, so let our patience be renewed with dawn; as the sun lightens the world, so let our loving-kindness make bright this house of our habitation.ANOTHER FOR EVENINGLORD, receive our supplications for this house, family, and country. Protect the innocent, restrain the greedy and the treacherous, lead us out of our tribulation into a quiet land.Look down upon ourselves and upon our absent dear ones. Help us and them; prolong our days in peace and honour. Give us health, food, bright weather, and light hearts. In what we meditate of evil, frustrate our will; in what of good, further our endeavours. Cause injuries to be forgot and benefits to be remembered.Let us lie down without fear and awake and arise with exultation. For his sake, in whose words we now conclude.IN TIME OF RAINWE thank Thee, Lord, for the glory of the late days and the excellent face of thy sun. We thank Thee for good news received. We thank Thee for the pleasures we have enjoyed and for those we have been able to confer. And now, when the clouds gather and the rain impends over the forest and our house, permit us not to be cast down; let us not lose the savour of past mercies and past pleasures; but, like the voice of a bird singing in the rain, let grateful memory survive in the hour of darkness. If there be in front of us any painful duty, strengthen us with the grace of courage; if any act of mercy, teach us tenderness and patience.ANOTHER IN TIME OF RAINLORD, Thou sendest down rain upon the uncounted millions of the forest, and givest the trees to drink exceedingly. We are here upon this isle a few handfuls of men, and how many myriads upon myriads of stalwart trees! Teach us the lesson of the trees. The sea around us, which this rain recruits, teems with the race of fish; teach us, Lord, the meaning of the fishes. Let us see ourselves for what we are, one out of the countless number of the clans of thy handiwork. When we would despair, let us remember that these also please and serve Thee.BEFORE A TEMPORARY SEPARATIONTO-DAY we go forth separate, some of us to pleasure, some of us to worship, some upon duty. Go with us, our guide and angel; hold Thou before us in our divided paths the mark of our low calling, still to be true to what small best we can attain to. Help us in that, our maker, the dispenser of events - Thou, of the vast designs, in which we blindly labour, suffer us to be so far constant to ourselves and our beloved.FOR FRIENDSFOR our absent loved ones we implore thy loving-kindness. Keep them in life, keep them in growing honour; and for us, grant that we remain worthy of their love. For Christ's sake, let not our beloved blush for us, nor we for them. Grant us but that, and grant us courage to endure lesser ills unshaken, and to accept death, loss, and disappointment as it were straws upon the tide of life.FOR THE FAMILYAID us, if it be thy will, in our concerns. Have mercy on this land and innocent people. Help them who this day contend in disappointment with their frailties. Bless our family, bless our forest house, bless our island helpers. Thou who hast made for us this place of ease and hope, accept and inflame our gratitude; help us to repay, in service one to another, the debt of thine unmerited benefits and mercies, so that, when the period of our stewardship draws to a conclusion, when the windows begin to be darkened, when the bond of the family is to be loosed, there shall be no bitterness of remorse in our farewells.Help us to look back on the long way that Thou hast brought us, on the long days in which we have been served, not according to our deserts, but our desires; on the pit and the miry clay, the blackness of despair, the horror of misconduct, from which our feet have been plucked out. For our sins forgiven or prevented, for our shame unpublished, we bless and thank Thee, O God. Help us yet again and ever. So order events, so strengthen our frailty, as that day by day we shall come before Thee with this song of gratitude, and in the end we be dismissed with honour. In their weakness and their fear, the vessels of thy handiwork so pray to Thee, so praise Thee. Amen.SUNDAYWE beseech Thee, Lord, to behold us with favour, folk of many families and nations gathered together in the peace of this roof, weak men and women subsisting under the covert of thy patience. Be patient still; suffer us yet awhile longer; - with our broken purposes of good, with our idle endeavours against evil, suffer us awhile longer to endure, and (if it may be) help us to do better. Bless to us our extraordinary mercies; if the day come when these must be taken, brace us to play the man under affliction. Be with our friends, be with ourselves. Go with each of us to rest; if any awake, temper to them the dark hours of watching; and when the day returns, return to us, our sun and comforter, and call us up with morning faces and with morning hearts - eager to labour - eager to be happy, if happiness shall be our portion - and if the day be marked for sorrow, strong to endure it.We thank Thee and praise Thee; and in the words of him to whom this day is sacred, close our oblation.FOR SELF-BLAMELORD, enlighten us to see the beam that is in our own eye, and blind us to the mote that is in our brother's. Let us feel our offences with our hands, make them great and bright before us like the sun, make us eat them and drink them for our diet. Blind us to the offences of our beloved, cleanse them from our memories, take them out of our mouths for ever. Let all here before Thee carry and measure with the false balances of love, and be in their own eyes and in all conjunctures the most guilty. Help us at the same time with the grace of courage, that we be none of us cast down when we sit lamenting amid the ruins of our happiness or our integrity: touch us with fire from the altar, that we may be up and doing to rebuild our city: in the name and by the method of him in whose words of prayer we now conclude.FOR SELF-FORGETFULNESSLORD, the creatures of thy hand, thy disinherited children, come before Thee with their incoherent wishes and regrets: Children we are, children we shall be, till our mother the earth hath fed upon our bones. Accept us, correct us, guide us, thy guilty innocents. Dry our vain tears, wipe out our vain resentments, help our yet vainer efforts. If there be any here, sulking as children will, deal with and enlighten him. Make it day about that person, so that he shall see himself and be ashamed. Make it heaven about him, Lord, by the only way to heaven, forgetfulness of self, and make it day about his neighbours, so that they shall help, not hinder him.FOR RENEWAL OF JOYWE are evil, O God, and help us to see it and amend. We are good, and help us to be better. Look down upon thy servants with a patient eye, even as Thou sendest sun and rain; look down, call upon the dry bones, quicken, enliven; recreate in us the soul of service, the spirit of peace; renew in us the sense of joy.THE END

I think gay couples should be allowed to marry.
If a couple were barred from marrying because they were mixed race there would (rightly) be an outcry; to me barring gay couples from marrying is denying them a basic human right.

Bastille Day brought clear skies and unusually clear streets around Paris as the nation celebrated its famed revolution with a military parade (dating to World War I) down the Champs-Élysées. It's traditional for French allies to be invited to participate. This year, 374 red-tufted members of India's Maratha Army regiment marched from the Arc de Triomphe past guest of honor Manmohan Singh, India's prime minister.
July 14, France's fête nationale, is the No. 1 state holiday – inspired by the storming of Paris prison castle Bastille in 1789 that abolished aristocratic privileges, and three years later led to the toppling of the monarchy. The holiday dates to 1880.
In much of France now it is a feel-good day: go outdoors, get together, stroll. More than most holidays, the French shut off the world. The Bastille Opera house offers a free performance. This year, it's a work by German Anselm Kiefer.
Some 700,000 are gathering this evening at the Champ de Mars, adjacent to the Eiffel Tower, where iconic 1960s rocker Johnny Hallyday, a sort of French Elvis and friend of President Sarkozy, will play. (Mr. Hallyday's appeal is egalitarian; he's liked by older communists and conservatives alike.) Afterward, the night will be lit up with fireworks celebrating the 120th anniversary of the Eiffel Tower.
What's it all mean?
"It's a great day for the French," says Emile Assan, a Paris businessman. "It's the revolution. We attacked the jail, liberated the prisoners, and got rid of the king."
Nancy Li, an American expat, says July 14 commemorates "opposition positions. French express themselves in elections by voting against what they don't like. That's its spirit."
Pascal Gilbert, sunglasses atop his head, and who, like many French, came from out of town with his wife to meet friends and see the fireworks, sees July 14 as "basically a great opportunity for us to get together, to celebrate, to have a party. I don't think we focus on the history anymore."
Young Gwenael Bourgeon and his brother Lucas, from Drome in southern France, argue when prompted by parents that July 14 is important because "if the Bastille wasn't taken we'd still be under a king."
Firemen's Balls and car fires
In Paris, the evening before marked a resurgence of "Firemen's Balls" – parties at fire stations around the city – where Parisians that normally wouldn't, circulate with each other. Bands this year played Michael Jackson songs.
But in Paris's suburbs, the evening before marked a resurgence of fires started by youth, and rioting in the often minority neighborhoods, in an atmosphere that seems to be deteriorating in recent months. Le Monde reports 312 cars set on fire, and 13 police wounded, after a string of incidents, one including a 21-year-old Algerian who died in police custody.
Let's celebrate me, Sarkozy
The balls and the riots coincided with an evening on French television with Mr. Sarkozy. An admiring interview with the president was followed by an admiring documentary, including interviews with European leaders about Sarkozy. (German chancellor Angela Merkel: Sarkozy thinks she is a "little too slow"; she thinks he is "a little too fast").
Critics said the programs were proof positive that Sarkozy cravenly controls the French news media more than former President Charles de Gaulle did. Socialist spokesman Benoit Hamon called it a "hagiography worthy of a banana republic.… Democratic debate was totally abandoned in favor of … political propaganda," in a Times of London blog by Charles Bremner.
In the days leading up to July 14, Paris mayor Bertrand Delanoe also seemed to feel Sarkozy moved a little too fast.
The city planned large fireworks for the 120th. But Sarkozy's office presented the Hallyday concert as a fait accompli. French media described a federal-city catfight over who would pay for damages to the lawn. A piece in Le Parisian today indicates Sarkozy's singer-friend's "token" payment to cover damages would come from the $750,000 he'll reportedly be paid for the concert. [Editor's note: Johnny Hallyday will reportedly earn $750,000 for the concert. That's not how much the damages to the lawn would cost.]
It's all much more than the cluster of prisoners liberated at the Bastille might have imagined. But that's Paris.

By washing your hands after digging in beach sand, you could greatly reduce your risk of ingesting bacteria that could make you sick. In new research, scientists have determined that, although beach sand is a potential source of bacteria and viruses, hand rinsing may effectively reduce exposure to microbes that cause gastrointestinal illnesses.
"Our mothers were right! Cleaning our hands before eating really works, especially after handling sand at the beach," said Dr. Richard Whitman, the lead author of the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) study. "Simply rinsing hands may help reduce risk, but a good scrubbing is the best way to avoid illness."
For this study, scientists measured how many E. coli bacteria could be transferred to people's hands when they dug in sand. They analyzed sand from the shores of Lake Michigan in Chicago. Using past findings on illness rates, scientists found that if individuals were to ingest all of the sand and the associated biological community retained on their fingertip, 11 individuals in 1000 would develop symptoms of gastrointestinal illness. Ingestion of all material on the entire hand would result in 33 of 1000 individuals developing gastrointestinal illness.
In a further laboratory experiment, USGS scientists determined that submerging one's hands four times in clean water removed more than 99% of the E. coli and associated viruses from the hands.
In recent years, USGS scientists have discovered that concentrations of E. coli bacteria in beach sand are often much higher than those in beach water. Follow-up research at beaches around the nation by many scientists has resulted in similar findings, although the amount of bacteria in sand varies depending on the beach. Although beach water is monitored for E. coli as mandated in the Beaches Environmental Assessment and Coastal Health Act (BEACH Act 2000), beach sand is not currently monitored for contamination.
Recent analysis of seven beaches across the nation by the University of North Carolina -Chapel Hill and the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency showed that beachgoers digging in sand were more likely to develop gastrointestinal illness after a day at the beach compared to those not digging in sand. The association with these illnesses was even stronger for individuals who reported being partially covered up in sand. Because children played in the sand more frequently and were more likely to get sand in their mouths, they were more likely to develop gastrointestinal illness after a day at the beach.
"The excess illnesses we observed among those exposed to sand generally consisted of mild gastrointestinal symptoms, but it is a good idea to be sure to wash your hands or use hand sanitizer after digging or playing in the sand," said Chris Heaney, lead author of the UNC study.
E. coli is an indicator of recent sewage contamination and if it is present, pathogens harmful to human health are also likely present. The origin of these bacteria is often unknown. They can persist throughout the swimming season, remaining a potential contamination source to beach visitors.
Results of these studies highlight the need to intensify efforts to determine sources of microbial contamination to beaches and associated risk of playing in beach sand.

Everyone has heard about Tempur-Pedic mattresses. The famous Tempur-Pedic mattress is known for its design in the way that it curves and shapes around the sleeper's body. King Size Tempurpedic Mattress Price in Gauteng the brand carries different models and designs for different preferences. A lot of research has been put into these mattresses to ensure the quality and effectiveness of a great mattress. Because of the advanced research and design of the mattress, Pedic Bed Mattress the pricing on them can be much higher than most people expect to pay for a mattress. The key to being able to afford a Tempur-Pedic mattress is to look for a Tempur-Pedic mattress sale.
Sales allow consumers to purchase these mattresses for lower than retail prices. This also makes it so people that wouldn't otherwise be able to afford it can afford a mattress that is comfortable and state of the art. The first step I would take in looking for a Tempur-Pedic mattress sale is by collecting store ads as they come in the mail. Furniture and mattress stores often mail out flyers and catalogues of their store items and display current or upcoming sales. These catalogues can prepare you to know about the sale and to also price shop based on the different store ads you receive.
Beds and How to Track Down the Correct Model
The first step in finding the most comfortable price for you for your mattress is by visiting a store and ensuring this is the mattress for you. You should also see which of the types of Tempur-Pedic mattresses you prefer, as well if you are interested in any of the extras they offer. Once you have decided to purchase this mattress, you should be prepared to wait for the best sale to come around. Do you research online, Beds For Tempurpedic Mattress and then purchase the newspapers with the stores ads in them. Do some comparisons and when the best deal comes around – be sure to jump on it.
King Size Tempurpedic Mattress Price in Gauteng ?
One factor that makes a tempurpedic mattress good is its density. It has higher density compared to others which makes it a good quality. So, how does higher density contributes to better quality?
Since a mattress has higher density, then its foam has more body. More body can provide better support and more cushion. You can move freely on it since it matches with your body. As you move, it regains slowly its original shape. Therefore, no part of it becomes higher or lower.
However, a mattress with a higher density is more expensive. Since the foam is filled with enough cells, not air, it is more difficult to make. Therefore, it is more expensive since more effort is used in making it.
Since a tempurpedic has higher density, then it is more expensive. However, its good quality can outcast any money spent in buying it. Once you had try using it and once you had experienced the good things about it, you will forget in an instance your expense on it.
How To Buy Tempurpedic Mattress
When you think that you might want a new mattress for your bed you should first ask yourself if you really need a new mattress. To determine this, you should determine if your sleep is being interrupted constantly and the body aches that your body experience each time that you arise in the morning then you may very well need a new mattress.
The newest types of mattresses on the market and are very popular are the mattresses that are made from memory foam. There are numerous websites on the Internet that offer the Tempurpedic mattress.

Don't forget that you will spend about 30 percent of your life on the Tempurpedic mattress that you choose so you should be assured that it will provide you with the comfort and support that you require. If you remember all of this while you are searching at the numerous Tempurpedic mattress review articles in both newspapers, magazines and on the Internet, you should make a much more informed selection of which mattress is the best one for you.

Does it fill you with dread, or is this one of the dates circled twice on your calendar? Either way, there's no escaping derby day chat as Manchester stands divided in camps red and blue.
Club Journalist @markbooth_mcfc picks out five things to look out for in Saturday lunchtime's clash…
1 Up Front
No doubt the first place City fans' eyes will scan to on the teamsheets when they're released at 11.30am on Saturday will be the striker position.
Don't expect too many clues from Pep Guardiola in his pre-match press briefing on Friday – the Catalan is known for keeping his cards close to his chest when it comes to team selection.
Guardiola has plenty of options when it comes to replacing the banned Sergio Aguero.
The most conventional, like-for-like swap would see Kelechi Iheanacho start up front but our boss is not shy of thinking outside of the box when it comes to the way he lines up his teams.
As the man who brought the "False 9" position back into vogue with Lionel Messi and Barcelona, don't be too surprised if he chooses to go for something like this on Saturday.
Kevin De Bruyne has played there before, while Leroy Sane and Nolito also look like ready-made options to function in that role if Pep deems this the best way to achieve victory.
2 Pep v Mou
There's no getting away from it, the two men in the dugout will command much of the focus and the column inches in hours leading to the game.
Their El Clasico bouts created one of the great sporting rivalries of recent times and the renewal of this duel is one of the major reasons why pundits are now describing Manchester as the city at the centre of the footballing world.
How do their records against one another stack up? There's no question Guardiola has had the better of the past meetings…
The man in the Old Trafford corner has won three of 16 meetings with Pep (D6 L7) - in La Liga and the Copa Del Rey with Real Madrid and in the Champions League with Inter (all vs Barcelona).
Those past precedents won't count for a whole lot on Saturday, however, when their new teams lock horns for the first time for both managers' first Manchester derby.
3 The Break
What effect will the international break have on the team Pep puts out on Saturday afternoon?
Both Leroy Sane and Ilkay Gundogan have returned to full training and are in line for debuts while it's being rumoured that Vincent Kompany could come back into contention following his lengthy lay-off.
With Nicolas Otamendi and Pablo Zabaleta travelling back from South America after two World Cup qualifiers and with Aleksandar Kolarov and fit-again Bacary Sagna both training at CFA throughout the break, will this be a factor in the defence Pep chooses to put out?
We're going to have plenty to discuss in the hour between the teams being announced and the first peep of referee Mark Clattenburg's whistle.
4 Something's Got To Give
City and United both boast 100% records through their first three league games of the season and this has only happened once before in league history.
The season? 2011/12… and we all know how that panned out.
In addition, Pep is the first City boss to win his first five games in charge of the club, while Mourinho is the first manager to win his first four games in charge of United.
One way or another, either City or United's perfect starts are coming to an end on Saturday afternoon and, while it's way, way too early to be considered even pivotal in the final Premier League standings, one side could land a decisive psychological blow in the early running.
5 50 Up
Victory for City at Old Trafford would give the Blues their 50th derby day victory in all competitions.
Last time these teams met with new managers in both dugouts, Manuel Pellegrini's City overcame David Moyes' United 4-1 at the Etihad Stadium.
It's all set up for one epic showdown and ManCity.com is your best bet for all of the build-up, the live Match Day Centre running from Saturday morning and all of the reaction following the game.

The two child stars of 'Slumdog Millionaire' are at risk of losing their monthly stipend and their trust fund if they don't start attending school, a trustee for the fund said Thursday.
Azharuddin Mohammed Ismail, 11, is only showing up at school 37 percent of the time and Rubina Ali, 9, has only a 27 percent attendance rate, the trustee said.
"It's pathetic," said Noshir Dadrawala, who helps administer the Jai Ho trust established by the filmmakers to provide an education, living allowance and housing for the young stars, who grew up in Mumbai's real-life slums.
Dadrawala blamed the children's busy schedule for their chronic truancy.
"They are constantly going to Paris and Cochin and Chennai," he said. "That's fine, but go over the weekend, not at the sacrifice of school."
He said the trust decided that if the children do not get their attendance above 70 percent they will lose their monthly stipend of about $120. If they fail to graduate, they will forfeit a lump sum payment set aside by the filmmakers to help the children, who grew up in one of Mumbai's more wretched slums, get a start in life.
The filmmakers have declined to reveal the amount in the trust for fear of exposing the families to exploitation.
Azhar's mother, Shameen Ismail, said her son had been truant over the past two months because he was inconsolable after his father died in September from tuberculosis.
"He would cry often, so I kept him home from school for a while," she said.
She promised his attendance would improve.
"As long as I'm alive, I will make sure my son gets an education," she said.

Larry Wilmore will host White House Correspondents dinner
Larry Wilmore, host of "The Nightly Show with Larry Wilmore" on Comedy Central, will do the honors at the White House Correspondents' Association Dinner, also known as Washington's Nerd Prom, this weekend. The event will be telecast live on C-SPAN on Saturday, April 30, locally at 4 p.m.
Wilmore joins a long list of comics who've ribbed both politicians and the media at the function. Past hosts include Jon Stewart, Stephen Colbert, Seth Meyers and Wanda Sykes.
Wilmore is aware of the significance of the task: "For me, part of the history of this is a bit overwhelming," Wilmore told a C-SPAN interviewer. "When I think this is the first black president, we're the same age. To see even where race has gone in our lifetime. When I was a kid the thought of a black man even leading a football team, being the quarterback was a huge deal let alone to be president."
This last White House Correspondents Association Dinner of the Obama presidency arrives with ample material for political parody. Last year, when "Saturday Night Live's" Cecily Strong was the entertainer, Obama himself scored some of the biggest laughs. (See his speech here.) He included digs at Ted Cruz, MSNBC, CNN and Donald Trump ("Donald Trump is here… still.") Regarding the 2016 election, Obama said, "I, for one, can't wait to see who the Koch brothers pick." And in a zing aimed at Bernie Sanders, he seriously underestimated the appeal of the "pot smoking Socialist."
Now that the election cycle is in full swing and the President is on his way out, there should be some even more stinging humor this round.

This morning, as I was sitting at my kitchen table contemplating the complexities of this path we call yoga, my Yogi Tea tag echoed my internal dialogue, "we are spiritual beings having a human experience." This truth reminds us that we are not perfect, and our lives will not always be effortless, but we can work hard to remember the beauty and potential that thrives within us in each moment. On occasion, this paradox of human imperfection surfaces in a big way in the yoga world, as it has done recently in the split of business partners and fellow yoga teachers Colleen Saidman and Jessica Bellofatto and the North Hampton yoga studio, Yoga Shanti.
In a bitter case of "she said, she said," the two co-owners of the studio are battling over alleged financial indiscretion and slander with potential law suits flying and names being smeared publically. And to add complication to the already complex situation, Saidman's husband, yoga big-wig Rodney Yee, has found his way into the mix. So how do you stay true to the path of yoga in the midst of all of the ugliness of our human experience?
Viewing ads supports YogaBasics. Remove ads with a membership. Thanks!
Even if we've made the choice to step onto the spiritual path of yoga in a committed way, life seems to continue to be a series of challenges and obstacles. We are not automatically liberated from the mundane and sometimes sticky situations of our humanness. There are still bills to pay, vehicles that breakdown, relationships that are shaky and inevitable rocks and hard places that we fall into and get stuck. Does that mean that we cease to be yogis when our humanness interferes with our equilibrium (both inner and outer)? Of course not.
It is within these moments of challenge and bare humanness that we are called to access our spiritual core in the most powerful way. In times of challenge, tapping into our spirit and inner knowing can seem like the most difficult and absurd thing to do. But, we are told over and over again by the historic sages of this practice and through our individual experience that our spiritual self is our compass which will always, without fail, point us in the right direction. The direction in which we are guided may not be the easy road, and it may not lead to instant gratification and peace, but when attended to with commitment and conviction, it will always lead us to grace.
Both Bellofatto and Saidman are claiming the high road, though actions and words are often different than the defenses that support them, and both yoginis are forming their camps of support with the rich and famous filing in on both sides. In the end, only they will know whether the path they chose was one that upheld the ideals of the practice they claim to live and share with others. Eventually, the crisis will pass, and both teachers will assimilate the experience into their lives both human and spiritual. As a teacher, it is my hope for both them and their students, that they model their path in the midst of their challenges, and through living their humanness, teach others how to find their spirit.

Illinois Lawmakers OK Cap on Salary Amount for Pensions
Lawmakers have found at least one fix for the state's multibillion-dollar pension problem that could pass the Illinois House.
Two Republicans joined Democrats Thursday in voting 65-7 to cap the salary that pension benefits are based on at the Social Security Index. Currently that's $113,000 per year.
Supporters estimate it could save Illinois $1 billion annually.
The vote was part of a process Democratic Speaker Michael Madigan is using to gauge where legislators stand on possible reforms. It's the first amendment in two days of debate to get enough votes to pass.
Republicans have criticized the process and have refused to participate in most of the votes.
Legislators rejected a 10-year freeze on cost-of-living adjustments and a measure to require employees to contribute 4 percent more to their retirement.

Walking will be enjoyable again. And you can once again play with your kids or grandkids and not wince in pain. Hip replacement can help you overcome severe pain that limits your activity.

Many younger individuals now opt for joint replacement, since the latest generation of these technologically advanced implants can last for 25 to 30 years. You don't have to wait to get back to an active, pain-free life. Virtua's Joint Replacement Institute provides a comprehensive continuum of state-of-the-art surgical, nursing and rehabilitative care that includes everything from a pre-surgery orientation class and pre-admission testing, to discharge planning and rehabilitation.

Dew Tour's first skiing and snowboarding events of Olympic season offer surprises
For the first days of this Olympic season, even the athletes most eager to shine in Sochi's Winter Games took tentative steps toward their goal.
There wasn't any double-cork 1260s or triple-cork 1440s at the Dew Tour in Breckenridge on Thursday. While some powerhouses (and the two youngest competitors at Dew) prevailed, several celebrated athletes did not pass through qualifying rounds.
Canadian pipe skier Roz Groenewoud – the 2011 world champion and two-time Winter X Games gold medalist – fell shy of the top eight finalists in Wednesday's qualifying contest. Grete Elliassen, a perennial slopestyle champion recovering from a 2012 knee injury, dropped from qualifying after falling on her first run. Henrik Harlaut, the always grinning Swede with the most audacious tricks in slopestyle, bobbled a landing on Thursday and failed to make Sunday's finals. Olympic gold medal snowboarder Hannah Teter didn't make the finals.
Some of the most heralded athletes still prevailed in the first steps of the Dew Tour.
Kelly Clark continued her several-season dominance, qualifying first for Saturday's finals, followed by 13-year-old Kim Chloe and 17-year-old Arielle Gold, of Steamboat Springs. Shaun White easily flew into the halfpipe finals, throwing a relatively tame – by White standards – run to grab the top qualifying spot for Saturday's finals. The finals will include Steamboat pipe riders Taylor Gold and Benji Farrow as well as Breckenridge's Zachary Black. The slow start will be forgotten Saturday when riders throw their A game.
"I'm really holding back. Saving something for the finals, like everyone, I'm sure," White said.
Washington's Angeli VanLaanen, battling back from Lyme disease, took the lead spot on Wednesday. Her U.S. Freeskiing teammate, Devin Logan, skiing in her second qualifying contest of the day Wednesday, also secured a berth in the finals in her fist contests since exploding her knee in 2012.
Ladies battling back from injury is a resonant theme at Dew. Logan took second in the slopestyle qualifiers on Wednesday and Ashley Battersby, who blew up her knee at January's X Games in Aspen, both will ski in the women's slopestyle finals on Saturday.
"It's amazing how strong they are. They inspire me," said Breckenridge's Keri Herman, who qualified third in the women's ski slopestyle contest. (Slopestyle skier Maggie Voisin, the youngest member of the U.S. Freeskiing Team at age 14, qualified first in slopestyle with a huge switch trick and solid grabs.
Thursday's men's qualifying ski slopestyle contest was led by Indiana 19-year-old Nick Goepper, who rode without poles as he recovered from a hand injury. Denver's Bobby Brown qualified fifth. Telluride buddies Kolby Ward and two-sport skier Gus Kenworthy eked into Sunday's slopestyle finals in 15th and 16th place.
Brown was aiming for the rare – and typically golden – triple cork on the final hit of his second run but bailed at the last minute, stomping a clean double instead.
"Luckily my first run held up," Brown said. "I'm definitely going to change a lot of stuff for the finals and give a little harder, you know."

Traffic sucks, so why not start your morning off with some music? You provide the toast and we'll provide the jams.
Childish Gambino — a.k.a. Donald Glover — — a.k.a. Troy — — is the rare indie act that maintains popularity against a rather large indie backlash. Specifically, Pitchfork gave it a 1.6 in a rather scalding review.
I disagree with their assessment. While certainly not the best hip hop album that year from a former or current TV star (that goes to "Take Care"), it's an enjoyable take on pop rap that goes right up to the edge of taking itself too seriously but stops short.

In the quest of automakers and car infotainment system manufacturers to take customers' infotainment experience to the next level, Hyundai Motor America and HARMAN have recently announced the integration of Aha Radio service into the 2015 Genesis, a luxury sedan set to launch spring this year. The app, which will be part of the next-gen infotainment systems also launching in the sedan, will enable US drivers to access over 100,000 news, entertainment and music stations as well as location-based services in an intuitive manner with the use of their connected iPhone.
2015 Hyundai Genesis will offer Aha Radio
The 2015 Hyundai Genesis will bring not just a new look, but a new infotainment option in the form of Aha Radio integration.

Going through Aha Radio, it aggregates a heck of a lot of online-only radio stations, from all formats and across the globe.
At CES, Wired Cars Reach Out
LAS VEGAS — Not that long ago, a telephone meant a black two-piece unit with a handset and a rotary dial. Nowadays, the telephone has been completely redefined as a smartphone capable of performing an exponentially expanding array of tasks.
Similarly, the automobile is being redefined in its second century as not necessarily a "smart car" (that name is taken), but as something of a rolling infotainment machine.
A CES Innovation Award winner was the Aha in-dash cloud-based entertainment interface. According to the developer, Harman Industries, Aha provides access to more than 600 free radio stations, 40,000-plus entertainment choices and more than 10 million songs. Among its offerings are podcasts, sports events, e-book readers and newscasts.

HARMAN and Placecast Bring Geofenced Ads and a 'Second Screen' to in-Car Radio
HARMAN's Aha radio is a radio app that's also embedded in smart dashboards in cars. The company has announced that it has done a deal with Placecast to bring geofenced offers and ads to Aha's in-dash/in-car experience. Quiznos is the first advertiser on board.
Aha and Placecast Testing Dash Ads
Aha by HARMAN and Placecast have begun testing a new in-car advertising solution that delivers what both companies are calling, "relevant, real-time promotional offers," to consumers based on the vehicle's location.

Quiznos is the first brand to activate promotional offers using the new service, which will roll out this month as part of a nationwide pilot program.

Top ten free Windows tools admins have never heard of
These Windows tools may fly under the IT radar, but they might provide the answers many admins are looking for.
I've always been a bit of a tool collector. And while IT tools are obviously more logical than physical in nature, they accomplish the same goals as a plumber's wrench. Without them, doing the job is difficult -- if not impossible. Yet, too often our employers don't recognize the value in IT tools. Rare is the IT pro with a budget for tools, forcing us to find free alternatives.
These ten IT tools are some of the best I have used. They've saved my career more than once, so by sharing them, hopefully they will help yours.
With a tip of the hat to our industry's tool smiths who write and release with no expectation of return, I present the Top Ten Tools You've Never Heard Of.
1. Keepass
The average IT pro is responsible for close to a gazillion passwords and keeping them straight is our burden to bear. That's why Keepass exists -- an open source password manager that safely locks passwords beneath a master password. It can even copy and paste them into dialog boxes, which is a big help when time is short and passwords are long.
2. Notepad++
Scripting is (or should be) a friend to every IT pro, but scripting editors tend to be on the expensive side. If an administrator's scripting needs exceed Notepad's capabilities check out Notepad++. This free source code editor is preloaded with over 50 popular languages, so you'll never worry again if that single quote is actually a curly single quote.
3. TCPView
Have you ever used the Windows netstat command and immediately wished for something else? Look no further than TCPView, an original SysInternals tool that can be downloaded from Microsoft's website. TCPView presents a graphical visualization of all the computer's network connections and is indispensible for troubleshooting the most challenging network issues.
4. WinDirStat
My IT career's most challenging difficulties have had little to do with technology. It's those darn users who are responsible for my biggest scrapes, such as when they store too much data and eat up expensive hard drive space. You can't just tell them to delete data -- you need to give them a how-much-you're-wasting visualization. WinDirStat is that graphical answer. It highlights which files and file types are the biggest offenders and will quickly cause users to find and delete their excess of storage.
5. OldCmp
Do you hate those aged computer accounts lingering around Active Directory and dream of a report on those not in use? Back in 2004, the first version of OldCmp delivered on that dream and is still one of the most useful IT tools. This JoeWare tool can also remove old accounts and help kick out AD computer accounts after someone kicks out a computer.
6. WSName
Changing a computer's name is easy: Move it to a workgroup, rename it and add it back into the domain. What's hard is the time wasted watching that machine reboot multiple times and repeating those steps for dozens or even hundreds of desktops. So, why not automate computer renames with WSName? With a little extra scripting admins can even rename remotely.
7. MSRemoteNG
Being an IT pro means connecting to lots of computers on any particular day. But different computers require different connection steps. With MRemoteNG, admins can collect every computer under a single interface with little effort. This open source, tabbed, multi-protocol, remote connections manager also supports all sorts of protocol acronyms, including RDP, VNC, ICA, SSH, TELNET, HTTP, rlogin and raw sockets connections.
8. Memtest86
In Windows 7 or Windows Server 2008, click Start | Administrative Tools | Windows Memory Diagnostic and the system will run a hardware-level test on its RAM at the next boot. That test determines if bad RAM is a source of bad behavior. But what if you're not using these operating systems? Once burned to a bootable CD, Memtest86 will boot run an extensive series of tests against physical RAM and report whether new hardware is needed.
9. Specops Gpupdate
Specops Gpupdate is the only tool on this list that requires registration, but it's worth the information disclosure. This tool remotely executes a restart or shutdown, wake on LAN or Group Policy update from directly within the Active Directory Users and Computers (ADUC) console. It can also perform an automatic WSUS client update, speeding up patch management and monthly update duties.
10. Safepasswd.com
This last tool is as much fun as it is useful. Safepasswd.com is a simple website that generates random passwords with options for password length and type, such as Easy to Remember versus all manner of not easy. The website is also useful for user and service passwords, as well as users who "can't think of a new password". After seeing what Safepasswd.com considers easy, they'll think twice about whining when their account needs to be renewed.

Armed with iPads, Ravens Go to Super Bowl
As the Baltimore Ravens prepare for Sunday's Super Bowl with the San Francisco 49ers, the players aren't lugging around giant playbooks. Instead they carry sleek iPads and a digital app called GamePlan to study plays.
Nearly half of the 32 teams in the NFL have adopted iPads and digital playbook apps. Those apps let coaches easily distribute updated plays and attach video clips to the Xs and Os of paper-based playbooks. Coaches and players also use the technology to collaborate in real time and share videos, playbooks, notes and drawings. The three major companies that make iPad apps for the NFL are Global Apptitude LLC, the maker of GamePlan, PlayerLync LLC and DragonFly Athletics LLC.
There's no word yet on whether the 49ers – located in high-tech San Francisco – are using digital playbooks. The 49ers didn't respond to a request for comment.
Their competitors, the Baltimore Ravens were the first team to go digital with their playbooks. When Chuck Pagano left the Baltimore Ravens to become head coach for the Indianapolis Colts in 2012, he asked that the team start using digital playbooks, said Ryan Fannin, director of football information systems for the Colts. At training camp, the team handed out 90 iPads to the players and 20 iPads to the coaches.
Previously, players were carrying around 20 pound playbooks. "We like to have the heavy lifting back in the weight room, not carrying around playbooks," said Mr. Fannin. In a survey, the players said they used the iPad app about 50% more than the paper books. To make sure that players weren't spending time on Facebook, Mr. Fannin locked down the devices with mobile device management software from AirWatch LLC. The team also hired technology company CDW to upgrade the wireless coverage in its training facility.
NFL teams have tried, over the years, to adopt technology, but most players didn't want to carry around laptops, said Bob Paulsen, co-founder and CEO of PlayerLync. "It's almost shocking how little these teams have used technology," he said, adding that many teams didn't even have e-mail. NFL rules don't allow computers and hand-held devices on the sidelines, in the locker room and in press-box coaching booths within 90 minutes of the kickoff and during the game. The iPad has proved to be the perfect tool for players, though, said Mr. Paulsen.
At first, many teams start using the iPad to replace existing processes, said Mr. Paulsen. It's akin to how the first automobiles took the form factor of a horseless carriage. Once teams start to use it, though, they are changing the way they work. For example, with PlayerLync it's possible for coaches and players to call up all the third down passes that resulted in 10 yards or more, he said. "When teams start changing the way they work, because of what the technology allows, it lets them make huge leaps forward," he said. The five teams that have publicly said they use PlayerLync are the Broncos, Packers, Bears, Bengals and Chargers. He expects the majority of the NFL to jump on the bandwagon and says he's currently getting about three calls per day to inquire about digital playbooks.
"The majority of the teams that made the playoffs use this technology," said Mr. Paulsen.

American and Canadian citizens must have a passport that is valid for at least 90 days beyond the intended return date in order to enter and depart the country. Tourists must also provide proof of return or onward travel. Each traveler is responsible for ensuring that his/her passport is up to date. Citizens of other nationalities should check with respective authorities before departure.
Please ensure that the name on your passport matches all travel documents we have issued. If this is not the case, please contact us immediately.
Please make a photocopy of your passport's identification page and keep it separate from your original. It's also a good idea to leave a digital copy with someone at home. This may speed up the replacement process should you lose your passport.
Austria is a party to the Schengen Agreement. As such, U.S. and Canadian citizens may enter the country for up to 90 days for tourist or business purposes without a visa. Citizens from other countries may require a valid visa. These requirements change often and therefore it is best that you check with the Embassy of Austria for the most up-to-date visa information.
Cancelation and Medical Insurance is highly recommended as it can safeguard against the expenses associated with in-country medical emergencies, lost or delayed baggage and emergency cancelation or interruption of your trip. Please ensure your policy will provide you with upfront medical coverage so that you are not responsible for a hefty medical bill. Insurance can be purchased through us.
We always recommend that you see a doctor or health-care provider who specializes in Travel Medicine. They will best determine your vaccination and medication needs based on your health and immunization history, areas of the country you will be visiting, planned activities and up-to-the-minute requirement changes. For all vaccinations and health requirements, we also recommend that you consult the World Health Organization (WHO): http://www.who.int or Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) http://wwwnc.cdc.gov.
If there are any medical items that are essential to your health, such as prescription drugs or corrective eye wear, bring duplicates and divide them between your checked bags and hand luggage. While non-prescription drugs such as aspirin are generally available, it is difficult to replace prescription items.
Recommended Items:
Austria is located in a temperate climate zone, and experiences all four seasons, each having their own typical temperature and characteristics. The eastern region of the country experiences low precipitation, hot summers but only moderately cold winters. Alpine regions are home to high precipitation (except inner Alpine valley regions such as the upper Inntal), short summers and long winters.
For up-to-date forecasts, check weather.com.
Electricity in Austria is supplied at 220 to 230 volts. Sockets are designed to accept two round prongs. Some sockets will take the plugs with large prongs only; others will take the ones with small prongs. A multi-adaptor with different plug configurations can be very useful. We advise not to bring a hair dryer as it could blow a fuse.
Phone: Roaming charges vary between carriers, but tend to be quite costly. Consult your phone provider prior to departure to discuss overseas rates and international package options. It is also possible to purchase a SIM card locally to avoid international charges when calling numbers within Austria. (You should check to see that your cell phone is SIM card compatible).
Internet: Internet cafés and wireless access is available in most urban areas, airports and hotels.
Remember to pack sufficient memory cards, zoom lens, a spare camera battery and charger, and dust-resistant case.
Generally speaking, we advise bringing €70-100 per day, per person, for spending money. Be sure to bring lots of small bills for porters, wait staff and housekeeping (not obligatory and based on your satisfaction). Euro paper money comes in different colors and denominations (5, 10, 20, 50 and 100 notes). There are also Eurocent coins: 1 cent, 2 cents, 10 cents, 20 cents, 50 cents, 1 and 2 Euro. Your largest bills should be 50 Euros, with a combination of 5's, 10's and 20's. We recommend that you bring approximately 100 Euros of spare cash in small denominations to have ready for tips and expenses when you first arrive.
We recommend that you get local currency from your bank before you leave home or from a bank machine in-country which is much cheaper than an exchange service at the airport or in tourist areas. Your bank card may work, but Visa or MasterCard are more widely accepted. You will need a 4-digit PIN to be able to use your cards in Europe.
Capital: Vienna
Language: German
Currency: Euro (€)
Religion: 64% of the country is Roman Catholic
Time Zone: UTC +1
Electricity: 230 Volts
Telephone: Country code for calling you from outside Austria is +43
Calling North America: Dial 001 and your 10 digit number
Emergency numbers in Austria: For Police 133, Medical 144, Fire 122, 112 for any type of emergency

Yellow and grey. How much to I love this fresh, sophisticated palette? I've been waiting for an opportunity to use it and my dear friend Jo-Ann's baby shower was the perfect choice. My partner in party planning crime, Ryam, along with hostess extraordinaire, Loren and I pulled this intimate gathering together on a limited budget and a short timeframe. Read on for more details about how we did it. Enjoy!
Our dessert table - very pared down. We let fabrics, texture and pattern along with a few stand out sweets make a statement. The sweet lacy backdrops were drapery panels found for a steal at Ikea and our charcoal and white houndstooth runner was a just some pretty cotton yardage from Jo-ann's.
The centerpiece of our table.
Pewter roses and lemon yellow dots.
"C" is for baby Cash
Cookies play double duty as cupcake toppers.
Lemon cream cheese baby cakes.
Vintage babydoll carriage.
Hand-dipped vanilla meringues.
Sunny lemon drops
Lacy caramel corn cones.
Since we were having a smaller gathering of only sixteen guests, Ryam had the great suggestion that we set a long banquet table instead of separate rounds. We laid out some inexpensive white bedding sheets from Ikea as table cloths and layered it with sweet yellow and white polka dot yardage from Jo-ann's as an inexpensive, no-sew runner. More easy breezy sheers suspended from the pergola.
Hand painted flower pots and fresh flowers.
Dollar Store plates and glassware.

• Connoisseurs and Canvas will be held outside in October during a larger Wine Festival at City Centre in Houston Texas (http://www.citycentrehouston.com/). This event will take place on a Saturday Afternoon
• This event will be a wine stroll. People will pay to get into the event and then be allowed to walk around City Centre while sampling many different wines and viewing the work of area artists. The artists will also be on hand to show off their skills and sketch drawings for the patrons.
• City Centre has an upscale boutique-ish feel. It contains a hotel, numerous restaurants and shopping opportunities. This event will be high end with a European Flair.
The event is being added to the line up of a larger wine festival. We need for this logo to coordinate with two other logos that have already been created. We do not want it to look exactly like them, but it does need to fit with them. The colors can be brighter and different. Here is the link to the website where you can find the logos for "Zest in the West" and "Foam on the Range"...
• Men and Women, couples
• Ages 30-60
• High Income patrons
• Needs to say the name of the Festival: Connoisseurs & Canvas at City Centre

Hi Jyndrek, Wojtek, Savi and Everyone:
A while ago I built the Vimba Vimba for our members from Poland. From what I have read the Vimba Vimba is a popular game and food fish in Poland. Maybe Jyndrek, Wojtek or Savi can tell you more about them than I can.
Tonight I finally got around to finishing the fish files. Maybe just in time for some of Jyndrek and Wojtek's new outings? Here are some pictures of the New Vimba Vimba. Jyndrek's helpful list made it a cinch to decide on the maximum length of this pretty silvery fish. It was sized at 20 inches maximum. Just under the Polish record.
I should have this fish file uploaded in the Development Forum very shortly. I hope our Polish members will have lot of fun using this one.
