ETHICS STATEMENT: This is a blatant attempt at me trying to raise money to fund Prostate Cancer research (something very important to me as it claimed my grandfather) by giving away prizes.
EDIT: Here is the finished time-lapse video from out team. Even though the prize draw is closed YOU CAN STILL DONATE! It all goes to charity and we are about £1000 from beating Barclays bank in the team rankings. Be nice to beat them wouldn't it?
Click here to donate!
EDIT: Here are the winners. You will be contacted shortly!!
We raised an astonishing £23,186 which equals $36,500. Fantastic. Thanks to everyone who donated!!
EDIT: I will be doing the live draw a bit later than planned. I wanted to do it on the 1st December but I will be in Ireland and hotel internet generally SUCKS so best to wait until I get home on Sunday. So it will be on Sunday the 4th of December at 2000 (8 PM) GMT. It's not too late to donate. We have, at the time I right this, raised over £18,000 which is amazing! More than many huge corporations. Way to go filmmakers!!
I will also be doing a live Q&A so ask away!!
In the UK alone 1 person every hour dies from Prostate Cancer. That is a pretty scary figure
The lovely people at Switronix have given me two of their new lights. One to try out and the other to give away. Like in previous giveaways, I want to try and raise money for charity with it and as I will be raising money for Prostate Cancer research all November with "Movemeber" it makes perfect sense to tie them together!
So just donate at least £10 via this link and I will add you to a draw and pick the winner on the 30th of November. The very last day of Movember!
There may be issues donating via Paypal if not in UK, but credit card works fine. Ignore the fact that the country is UK when you start putting in details – it gives you a drop down to select country later.
Donate to me or my time, makes no difference! All goes to the same cause and all goes into the draw!
There will be more and more companies adding stuff to this giveaway so stay tuned!
Here are some photos and specs of the lights. I have only had a little play with it and it's pretty sweet. I am shooting a mini doc tomorrow on the Sony NEX5N with this light as my main light so I can report back on how good it is. Lovely having mixed temperature available and it's very well made, bright and with a nice even light!
Adobe have incredibly generously donated a full copy of CS5.5 Production Premium worth around £1900! This consists of Premiere Pro, After Effects, Photoshop and so much more. This is an amazing package!!!
Rode Microphones have generously donated two Rode Video Mic Pros!!
Zacuto have been incredibly generous, donating the amazing EVF!!
Kessler Crane have generously donated a huge prize: either a Cineslider or a 4 foot Shuttle Pod system! The choice is yours (shipping outside of the USA is responsibility of winner)
More gear still coming through! Jag35 have donated their "Straight Rig" worth $500 and Aaron Pinto has donated 4 of his amazing lens skirts for shooting through glass!!
Guy Thatcher has incredibly generously donated the Canon Powershot S100 that he has pre-ordered. An amazing point and shoot camera. This is worth £439! Guy owns and runs Hireacamera.com which rents out DSLRs, camcorders and even my Kessler Crane pocket dolly!
I myself am giving away a one on one tutoring day with me. We go out and we shoot something and I help and show you my techniques. Unfortunately I cannot fly to you as you could be anywhere, but I will arrange it close to where you are as I travel a lot!

Great cause !
Greetings from France
A top charity and the chance of goodies – the perfect donation opportunity!
just donated; good cause oh captain my captain Tache!
I've tried donating a couple of times, but I'm always redirected to the Belgian Movember page and it seems to be impossible to donate to you from that site (when looking up members) …
i confirm; from france it works i donate to the team bloom tache
Ever consider having a beard contest as part of the criteria? I'm a novice beard grower looking to go pro.
I'm in… Good cause, great prizes. No brainer…
Happy to help. Can we in the U.S. donate as well? If so, should we donate to you or your team?
What is the difference in donating to the team or to you?
What is the difference between donating to Philip or his team?
thanks to your tutelage I'm at a place in my career this year where I can actually afford to donate thanks to all the new video production clients, so I'm happy to donate…although it took me a second to figure out what a "pence" was
Done! Great cause nice prizes… do we have to send our receipt somewhere to have a chance to get a prize?
This is great. People helping People, helping People!
Did not see this post til just now.. but today I signed up for your Movember team and donated 40 pounds.
My father died of another form of cancer in 2009. Keep up the great work.
I am going to donate and asked a question earlier which I believe was misunderstood and moderated, and taken the wrong way.
I meant to ask, when you go to the link there is an option to donate to "me" (Phillip) or to his Team, I was wondering if both are for Cancer and the same cause and if both are being sponsored by the above generous organizations. I asked what the difference was, meaning between the options on whom to donate to and not in the sense that donating doesn't make a difference! Sorry if there was a confusion!
Keep up the great work! Fantastic cause and fantastic site!
Just donated to this great cause!
Donated, skint but it's a worth while cause I support yearly so figured just as well here than on just giving or something).
These things are everything I keep trying to save for but the cost of living/moving to London for work has taken away from me! The cost of following the dream eh!
Good luck on this. Its a great cause and I know many of my mail friends part-taking!
*crosses fingers*
*remembers that this is basically the lottery and won't win*
Done! My grandfather also suffered but through causes like this he's thankfully still with us. Keep up the good work!
Note you refer to "hirecamera.com" in the text above where it should be "hireacamera.com"
It's a great thing that your doing Philip! If I were able to grow a Mo I'd definitely participate in Movember, but sadly I cannot. Good luck with the rest of your fund raising campaign!
Great raffle.. Great cause.
I'm in. -
Glad to help fight such a hideous disease – I donated. Cancer took both my parents and my Grandmother here in the US. My Mother-In-Law is a 25 year survivor. Trying to grow that stache…but I am not a hairy guy by nature. It's for a great cause though. God bless you Philip!
Can I still donate around the 18th of Nov? Up until then, I am tapped.
Great promotion for a great cause. I'm in.
With so many great prizes you should have many winners…
Donated! Good luck!
Done! great idea!
Even if you don't win gear, on MOVEMBER 18th we'll all be winners!
check this out from the ladies of Movember
The benefits came early, so I was able to donate.
A word about Prostate Cancer. My father had this cancer (and others) and after the doctor gave him the news, he went straight to the bar and had a scotch. Several hours later, he tippy toed out of the bar and went home to tell his wife (my other mother, a lovely woman) the news. A few days later he had the surgery and they were able to successfully remove the cancer. Early diagnosis is key.
Hi Philip,
Thanks for all your work. I'm giving up gadgets but would love to win tutoring day… -
Great thing you're doing, keep it up. Donated.
How much donations until now? -
Got my donation in. Let's keep 'em coming in folks.

Contributions to CAFR1: 02/14/13 through 02/14/14. CAFR1's accounting goes from February 14th to February 14th, Valentines Day!
* GREEN = Contributed more than once for this year CAFR1 LAST UPDATED - 10/05/13 at 11:45 PM AZ TIME
. . . What is needed to be effective? Contributors will make that determination. Look at what one (1) government employee is paid. One (1) congressman or Senator. Billions spent by your local government officials but not one (1) is working on ending taxation, they have another agenda of taking more by taxation. My agenda is to end taxation and have a thriving economy to boot. What is that worth to you? ** I suggest reading the following article and the comments to the article in consideration of the scope and size of the backing you give to CAFR1. MR. Smith (CAFR1) goes to Washington, DC And people want me to change the world. Hmmm... We will see..... All it takes is one (1) having the strong backing of many. Want to give CAFR1 the continued chance to be the right one. My focus I have not allowed to be interrupted and I will succeed. Those that help with financial backing to get the job done are greatly appreciated.

If you sent in a contribution by US Mail after 02/14/13 and do not see yours listed above, contact me at: (928) 458-5854 so that I may investigate. **** CAFR1, this is my work - Walter J. Burien, Jr. Contributions are needed and very much appreciated. Last year in 2012, one hundred and sixty-one individuals from the millions of individuals who have benefited from this work, came forward to assist from 02/14/12 until 02/14/13 and I thank them very much! If it had been fifty thousand individuals, D-Day would be underway. But then, I guess many are distracted by the masterfully presented sound-bite entertainment saturating us all as government spends, takes, and invests what use to be our money. (Trillions of dollars)
Government forces the payment of hefty salaries, pensions, and benefits on you. CAFR1's financial gifts are voluntarily contributed by the people I have chosen to serve. Those that helped have gotten more bang for the buck per opening disclosure of government fraud and theft, with CAFR1 putting a viable plan out on the table that can make a change of the tide for the better by a factor of ten-thousand to the 12th power. "I am" but one person, I am not the government syndicate.. In 2002 about four trillion dollars in tax income and six trillion dollars in non-tax income (10T) was brought in by federal and local government. As of 2007 the total from investment (domestic "and" International); tax; and enterprise for local and federal government was about fourteen-trillion dollars. CAFR1 works for you. What is paid CAFR1 comes from you. So, if not you then who. It will not be government. They are to busy spending a few trillion dollars of your money they have taken or made from you just this year, and will continue to take by force when they so desire, I do not take by force, I appeal to the intelligence of the individual to support CAFR1, so CAFR1 can strike back for them. When and if "serious money" walks in the door from one person or a group of people, then it will be time to target that one county selected and implement the standard blueprint for the TRF (Tax Retirement Fund) program to go into effect. The TRF takes it the complete nine-yards to where the general purpose operating funds, 100% is paid for by the TRF. "Taxation NOT needed!"
TRF is "The" model that will phase-out all taxation (eliminate) in the blink of an eye as time goes to benefit us and all future generations of this land. http://TaxRetirement.com and http://TaxRetirement.com/TRFA.html ** Keep in mind government has all of the fund managers in place to operate the TRFs. The same managers have been managing government's multi-trillion dollar investment funds and pensions. A TRF is set up just the same as a pension fund with the one difference being: the return from the fund is targeted not to pay salaries and benefits at retirement, the return from the fund is targeted at eliminating all taxation.
EVERY LOCAL AND FEDERAL agency and government body in so many words has run a TRF for decades and has over a 65-year performance data result record of returns generated.. A TRF has eliminating taxation as its goal from the use of the returns generated.. Get it? The entire structure is in place TODAY to make it happen tomorrow!
If adequate support for CAFR1 is not received, then I guess CAFR1 will end up being as the song goes... "just dust in the wind" The choice is yours! One person can not lift a five ton rock, but a thousand helping at one time can, and so far this year we have ? The future is yours!

Ten years later, look what's changed!
Microsoft screwed up, and they know it. The last version of Windows was a turkey stuffed with some pretty dumb features. I've spent some time with the latest version of Windows, though, and it looks like it could be a winner.
You thought I was talking about Vista and Windows 7? Nope, this is a look at ten years of system optimization at PC Pitstop, and I started at the beginning. The decade opened with a Microsoft disaster called Windows Me, followed by a decade-long success called Windows XP that still rules today. But it just goes to show a big company like Microsoft doesn't always learn from its mistakes.
Each time a new version of Windows comes out, people ask me whether PC Pitstop will run out of ideas for tweaking and tuning PCs. The short answer is "no", because Microsoft always manages to find something they don't get quite right. Windows Me and Vista are extreme examples of that, but even Windows 7 has its weaknesses. And when Microsoft makes even a little mistake, it often doesn't get fixed until the next version — which won't come out for several more years. The only thing you'll get from Microsoft in the meantime is patches for serious security problems.
Even with those system patches, they didn't get it quite right. Just about every month, Microsoft sends out a slug of patches and fixes via Windows Update. Just in case something goes wrong, they save all the information they'd need to uninstall each patch. The problem is, they never remove the uninstall information. If your computer is three years old, these remnants of patches you installed three years ago are still taking up space on your drive. I've seen older XP systems with more than a gigabyte of this junk on them. Didn't anyone at Microsoft think about deleting these files? Even more incredibly, this still seems to be broken with Windows 7.
It reminds me of my first job in software development right out of college; computers weren't all that common at the time. One of my co-workers related the story of how she got her job there; she contacted the personnel department and told them she was a computer programmer; they told her, "Sorry, all our computers have already been programmed." Fortunately she got the phone number of the head of the IT department, who confirmed that their computers did still need a little more programming.
And so it is with Windows; even after ten years of so much change, so much remains the same. Windows still needs a wee bit more programming. That's where we can help.
12 Responses to Ten years later, look what's changed!
Hi Elaine,
I have had the same question regarding patches. One technical problem experience with an Adobe Reader issue says that, at least for them, all patches must be kept. The tech department told me to go to an old patch and click on repair. This fixed the issue. So I would say, to be safe, keep all your old patches.
Think about a world without bugs, a lot of birds wouldn't have a meal. I see the whole computer as an evolution. The things that don't work get obsolete and extingt the better things evolve.
And we… we have a hobby that gives us a decent meal an a great job.
I have always wondered if it is necessary to keep all the patches that I have downloaded, or could I delete the old ones, believing that the latest ones would fix everything up to date??????
Someone please reply.
Bought my first computer for $100.00 and promptly "crashed" it. Had someone who was supposed to know what they were doing come to fix it and they couldn't. 30 minutes after they left, I had it up and running – perfectly. Been messin' with them ever since and have gotten pretty good. Think I'll stick with Microsoft a little while longer as I'm used to and partial to them. Prices ARE better than the Apple too.
I've been kicking around computers since leaving university in the late 70′s … The best home computer was Commodore …. remember the 64/128 … well being the best means nothing if you don't market it properly.
Microsoft did the proper marketing
made it the cheapest by far [like vhs over beta in the same time frame] and Apple and Commodore took a back seat. The idea of windows actually came from Commodore but still they died.
Apple would have died too if MS didn't buy in for 25% to keep them afloat.I do find it odd though that we would accept software with bugs and flaws and pay huge for it but won't do that with a toaster [not meaning Commodore's toaster which is a video editing program]
Commodore was the industry standard for video editing just as dv. was comming in. [it didn't help them much]
industry standards do change.
cost seems to be the most important thing to consumers and that is where MS wins hands down.If the Apple cart wants to do better they need to do better with their pricing.
Microsoft have been building operating systems for almost 30 years. That they still leave space for other companies to offer improvements is breathtaking. I guess they exist to make money than to write good software.
The problem with Mac's is not the OS, but the price. For the same price a 17″ Macbook Pro, one could buy something like 3 comparable PC Laptops, with Windows XP Pro/Windows 7 etc.
In a recession, a company should be concerned with obtaining new business to strengthen their bottom line (especially when the recession is over with), rather than charging insane prices to retain a narrow market share of hardcore enthusiasts.
I use both Windows and Linux at home (and both need tweaking still). Linux does out perform Windows in many areas, but a Windows PC is 'WAY' more affordable than a Mac. Furthermore, Mac is so darned Proprietary that is simply p*sses me off to even consider owning one! I would love to try out a Mac for a few months, and use it exclusively so to ensure I gave it the same fair chance I had with Windows the first time I used it. Also, how many of us out there really care if a laptop has an Aircraft or other Aluminum Alloy Uni Body? I don't, I want to use the computing power of a laptop, not stop a bullet with it.
Just my rant,
Retired IT Professional
I have been tempted to follow a minority of friends and colleagues to make my next notebook (every three years for me, lots of international travelling, too much actually) an Apple.
But you know what puts me off? The sheer arrogance of many Apple users. Maybe I'm an inverse snob, as my late Dad used to say, but I steer clear of the iPhone, IPod as well etc, perhaps due to my bloody mindedness, who knows, who cares?
In sport they say form is temporary, class is permanent. So why isn't Apple's share of market as good as its alleged technical advantage.
I need to stay with MS because in the developing world where I do most of my work, MS rules, as does software piracy and rampant viruses.
I remember when we worked with Rainbow, MSDos and then wind. 3.0 then 3.1 and so on. It was what we had and people did not relate good to apple, because most education programs were dos. I am still glad you were there for those of use who did not know what to do at times.
Again thenk you.
So " The Microsoft OS that we use is still the industry standard, and the paradigm by which everyone holds all others to comparison"
Some of us have left the fold/party line/ crowd and have found a better standard: MacIntosh.
Microsoft OS is only an industry standard because the average PC user follows the crowd and tolerates the inferior product which is "so much better than the last version of Windows".
The MAC OS is a superior OS in many aspects but falls short in market penetration.
Microsft users experience a progressively slower computer performance which requires more hardware purchase or tweaking to improve. Did i mention virus software and security patches? The reason why PC Pitstop is still in business is because of the inferior product so many people buy.
I wish you sympathy
Sure, there are and have been issues with the different Microsoft OS's; some more than others. Some versions far better than others. And we are thankful for the help in tweeking this very complex software. However. Say what you will. The Microsoft OS that we use is still the industry standard, and the paradigm by which everyone holds all others to comparison. Even PC PitStop does this with it's own software. Hard to top that.
I suggest you people write your own perfect,without fault,totally complete,no further improvements necessary or even possible-which would be more constructive than your criticism at every opportunity.I recently used PC Magic,it did not perform well on Win 7,64,especially defrag SSDs,for which WIN has a TRIM package.After trying it I talked to a tech and it was not very long before he cut down MS. Are they trained that Way or is it just a natural high mindedness?In any case it does not speak well.Regards.DF

From Ask Dr Wiki
Achalasia, also known as esophageal achalasia, achalasia cardiae, cardiospasm, dyssynergia esophagus, and esophageal aperistalsis, is an esophageal motility disorder.[1] In this disorder, the smooth muscle layer of the esophagus has impaired peristalsis (muscular ability to move food down the esophagus), and the lower esophageal sphincter (LES) fails to relax properly in response to swallowing.[2] The most common form is primary achalasia, which has no known underlying cause. However, a small proportion occurs as a secondary result of other conditions, such as esophageal cancer or (in South America) Chagas disease.
Contents |
Signs and symptoms
- Dysphagia, or difficulty swallowing
- Regurgitation of undigested food
- Coughing, especially when reclining or lying down
- Weight loss due to inadequate nutrient intake
- Non-cardiac chest pains (NCCP), which may radiate to the back, jaw, neck, and arms
- Some patients also experience heartburn, difficulty belching, or frequent hiccups
Due to the similarity of symptoms, achalasia can be misdiagnosed as other disorders, such as gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD), hiatus hernia, and even psychosomatic disorders.
Investigations for achalasia include
- X-ray with a barium swallow, or esophagography. The patient swallows a barium solution, which fails to pass smoothly through the lower esophageal sphincter. An air-fluid margin is seen over the barium column due to the lack of peristalsis. Narrowing is observed at the level of the gastroesophageal junction ("bird's beak" or "rat tail" appearance of the lower esophagus). Esophageal dilation is present in varying degrees as the esophagus is gradually stretched by retained food. A five-minute timed barium swallow is useful to measure the effectiveness of treatment.
- Manometry, the key test for establishing the diagnosis. A probe measures the pressure waves in different parts of the esophagus and stomach during the act of swallowing. A thin tube is inserted through the nose, and the patient is instructed to swallow several times.
- Endoscopy, which provides a view inside the esophagus and stomach. A small camera is inserted through the mouth while the patient is under sedation. The endoscopist observes a "pop" as the scope passes through the non-relaxing lower esophageal sphincter.
- CT scan may be used to exclude pseudoachalasia, or achalasia symptoms resulting from a different cause, usually esophageal cancer.
Pathological examination reveals a defect in the nerves that control the motility of the esophagus (the myenteric plexus). The esophagus is dilated and hypertrophied. In Chagas disease, the ganglion cells are destroyed by Trypanosoma cruzi, the causative parasite.[3]
- Gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) or heartburn.
- Achalasia patients have an increased risk of developing Barrett's esophagus or Barrett's mucosa, a premalignant condition which may lead to esophageal cancer over a period of years.
- Aspiration pneumonia: Food and liquid, including saliva, are retained in the esophagus and may be inhaled into the lungs, especially while sleeping in a horizontal position.
- Medication:
- Intra-sphincteric injection of botulinum toxin (or botox), to paralyze the lower esophageal sphincter and prevent spasms. As in the case of botox injected for cosmetic reasons, the effect is only temporary, and symptoms return quickly in most patients. Botox injections cause scarring in the sphincter which may increase the difficulty of later Heller myotomy. This therapy is only recommended for elderly patients who cannot risk surgery.
- Drugs that reduce LES pressure may be useful, especially as a way to buy time while waiting for surgical treatment. These include calcium channel blockers such as nifedipine, and nitrates such as isosorbide dinitrate and nitroglycerin. Unfortunately, many patients experience unpleasant side effects such as headache and swollen feet, and these drugs often stop helping after several months.
- Balloon (pneumatic) dilation, also called dilatation. The muscle fibers are stretched and slightly torn by forceful inflation of a balloon placed inside the lower esophageal sphincter. Gastroenterologists who specialize in achalasia and have done many of these forceful balloon dilations have better results and fewer perforations than inexperienced ones. There is always a small risk of a perforation which would have to be fixed by surgery right away. Gastroesophageal reflux (GERD) occurs after pneumatic dilation in some patients. Pneumatic dilation causes some scarring which may increase the difficulty of Heller myotomy if this surgery is needed later. Pneumatic dilation is most effective on the long term in patients over the age of 40; the benefits tend to be shorter-lived in younger patients. This treatment may need to be repeated with larger balloons for maximum effectiveness.
- Surgery: Heller myotomy helps 90% of achalasia patients. It can usually be performed by a keyhole approach, or laparoscopically.[4] The myotomy is a lengthwise cut along the esophagus, starting above the LES and extending down onto the stomach a little way. The esophagus is made of several layers, and the myotomy only cuts through the outside muscle layers which are squeezing it shut, leaving the inner muscosal layer intact. A partial fundoplication or "wrap" is added in order to prevent excessive reflux, which can cause serious damage to the esophagus over time. In a Dor (anterior) fundoplication, part of the stomach is laid over the esophagus and stitched in place so whenever the stomach contracts, it also closes off the esophagus instead of squeezing stomach acids into it. After surgery, patients should keep to a soft diet for several weeks to a month, avoiding foods that can aggravate reflux.
- Alternative treatments: Some patients have reported temporary improvement with acupuncture, traditional Chinese herbal medicine, or relaxation techniques.
- Lifestyle changes: Achalasia patients need to eat slowly, chew very well, drink plenty of water with meals, and avoid eating near bedtime. It is helpful to sleep with the head elevated by raising the head of the bed or using a wedge pillow. Proton pump inhibitors may help prevent reflux damage after surgery by inhibiting gastric acid secretion. Foods that can aggravate reflux, including ketchup and other tomato products, citrus fruits, chocolate, mint, alcohol, and caffeine, should also be avoided.
- Follow-up monitoring: Even after successful treatment of achalasia, swallowing may still deteriorate over time. It's important to check every year or two with a timed barium swallow because some may need pneumatic dilations, a repeat myotomy, or even esophagectomy after many years. Some doctors recommend pH testing and endoscopy to check for reflux damage, which may lead to a stricture or cancer of the esophagus if untreated.

Financial Marketing and Cross Selling Blog
Generating referrals from your banks website -
In a recent ABA Bank Marketing magazine article, Little Changes -Big difference, it was noted that "nearly 95% of visitors to a bank home page visit to login". This is a staggering figure, especially when you consider all the other areas of your site and the importance they hold in building relationships.
If this is where your customers are going, then this is where you need to be talking with them about all the other great services you have that can help solve their problems. But you can't look at online advertising the same way you look at print, radio or TV advertising.
In our recent post on bank marketing we highlighted a report by Forrester that showed 32% of customers don't mind targeted ads in their bill statements but only 8% said they didn't mind these same ads on the web. This clearly shows consumers view information they receive online differently from the information they receive in the mail.
So what should you be talking about with your customers online and how should your messages look? It should appear natural and not too flashy. Anything with bells and whistles will turn your customer off. Unlike with print ads where if the design doesn't catch the eye within the first couple of seconds its next location is the waste basket.
In this same October issue of the ABA magazine another article, Build the... Read More >>
Bank marketing gets a boost from recent Forrester Research report
In a recent MarketingWeek article, they highlight findings from a Forrester Research report that shows citizens from the U.S., U.K., France, Germany and Italy are alright with receiving targeted advertisements in their banking statements they receive in the mail.
What was shocking to me was the finding that showed the percentage of consumers who still get and also read their mailed statements. I can't tell you how many times I've checked the "eco-friendly" button for my statements. In fact, 70% of my demographic (25-34 yr olds) read their bank statements on paper. Who are these people?
However, one finding I hadn't thought much about but when I do it does make sense is people are more willing to read targeted advertisements in paper form then online – 32% prefer statement ads while 19% said email and 8% said web. Direct mail was the worse with only 6% saying they don't mind reading this approach.
The Internet is looked at as a free society and when ads disrupt this freedom it throws the viewer for a loop. Whereas the more traditional mailed materials are expected and not as intrusive.
Bank marketers need to make sure that these two forms of communication are different in nature. Online, the marketing must be more subtle and not as flashy. The more natural it looks the more likely you are to attract readers. Unlike print where it's important to catch the eye with a bold design otherwise it will end up in the waste basket in lighting speed.
We like to tell our clients that the biggest advantage they have over competitors is the many touch points they have with their... Read More >>

Alison, a 28 year old teacher of German at Presentation Secondary School, Dublin, appeared on TV3 breakfast show, Ireland AM to claim her prize.
Both Alison and fiance Ian Healy (30) battled it out in the final against three other couples to scoop the once-off bonanza.
'I couldn't sleep a wink the night before the results were due', a delighted Alison said. 'Winning this competition means I can marry the man of my dreams in just three months from now'.
Alison and Ian fell in love after meeting at Johnny Fox's pub in Dublin. After just a year together, Ian proposed during a romantic holiday in Monaco, and the besotted duo began to plan their perfect wedding.
The competition was organised by SimplyWeddings.com in conjunction with The K-Club, Co Kildare.
Organiser Colette O'Loughlin explained: It's an unbelieveable prize. It started out as a couple of really nice items for the winning couple, but it quickly snowballed into something huge. 'Before we knew it, everyone was involved, and the prize kept getting bigger'.

rural ruminations on the thoughtful way to garden
"Recording events of the season, connecting with community, with a passion for plants" is the original tagline. It still aims to be part of the garden blog community, but instead of centered on only my own garden this blog has changed for the better with the addition of Joanne's experiences in her Southern farm, and her reservoir of garden wisdom. We hope you like the result.
As Michael Pollan says:"Any writer who has a garden will sooner or later write about it." -that's about as good an explanation for it as any.

Death of Stalin (Chronology of European History)
Article abstract: The death of Stalin ends several decades of dictatorial rule and terminates the initial stages of a new wave of purges in the Soviet Union.
Summary of Event
On March 4, 1953, Radio Moscow announced that on March 1, Joseph Stalin had suffered a stroke, which had led to partial paralysis with heart and breathing difficulties. On the morning of March 6, it reported that Stalin had died on the evening of March 5. He was seventy-three years old at the time of his death.
The news aroused consternation throughout the country that Stalin had ruled for more than a quarter of a century. Following Lenin's death in January, 1924, Stalin had become the most powerful figure in the party and governed the nation until his own death nearly three decades later.
He had led his people victoriously through World War II, which brought death and destruction to the Soviet Union on an unprecedented scale as a result of the Nazi invasion, and he seemed to be the indispensable center about which all Soviet life revolved. Despite the terror, bloodshed, and suffering associated with his policies, Stalin provided the security of the familiar in Soviet citizens from the poorest collective farmers to the top leaders of the Communist Party. It was logical that his associates feared the possible disruptive consequences in the aftermath of his death and the removal of his dominating and guiding hand.

If you are looking for that perfect red lipstick, look no farther than Illamasqua. They have a nice variety of really gorgeous reds, Sangers being my favorite. Their lipsticks are creamy and ultra-pigmented and wear all day. They can be slightly drying since they are completely matte, but either a gloss on the top of the lipstick or balm underneath can help with this.

I decided to purchase my first Illamasqua lipstick. I have loads of red lipsticks but ended up playing it safe and ordering another one. I'm honestly really impressed. Their lipsticks are a good mix between matte and gloss. I find I have problems with matte being too dry and glossy type lipsticks being overly creamy so that they end up over your teeth and half way up your face. This lipstick is a great in between.

World in Conflict for Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3 launches this Fall 2008 |
Listed in: PS3, Xbox 360 Tags: Massive Entertainment, Sierra Entertainment
When World in Conflict was released for the PC back in 2007, it was generally well received by the gaming community. The president of Sierra Entertainment's worldwide studios, Martin Tremblay, is hoping for the this game to take off based on the initial market response. He comments:
World in Conflict was one of the best games on any platform in 2007 and its innovative action-focused gameplay makes it a perfect fit for the transition to consoles.
World in Conflict is being reinvented for Xbox 360 and the PlayStation 3 system, with innovative features and new single player and multiplayer content created for the console audience. World in Conflict on consoles will be an amazing extension of an already great gaming franchise.
While World in Conflict for the PC is indeed a solid game, it's still too early to say if its Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3 adaptation will be just as masterfully executed. For the sake of the console gamers starving for RTS titles, we certainly hope so.

I thought it was time to restart the weekly Photoshop Challenge 'round here. Don't ask me why it's starting on a Thursday. It just is, dang it!
This one should be fun. Take any book or movie title and convey it as a single image. No text should be on the image that could give away the title. Try to depict the title in a single scene.
For example, if you think of the novel To Kill a Mockingbird, a depiction of this title could be a mockingbird sitting on a fence with a set of crosshairs over it. Get the idea? The movie American Pie could be depicted by a pie in the shape of the US - or as a pie decorated with an American flag. Get it? Got it? Good!
Please observe these guidelines:
- No profanity, nudity, obcenities, or otherwise offensive material or content
- Observe the maximum file size guidlines for the forum (150kb)
- Keep it CLEAN!
- Have FUN!
Also, let's try to keep image quoting to a minimum to maximize the enjoyment of the entries!

"Out of the Woods - the Story of Cornwall's Forests"
The exhibit uses historic photographs, artifacts, and first-hand accounts to explore 260 years of Cornwall's relationship with its forests, showing how and why the town transformed from forest to farm and back to forest. The exhibit will also explore changing attitudes about the forest, from the 18th century view of woods as a source of timber to more recent concepts of the forest as a setting for recreation and as a vital ecosystem.
Pueblo Pottery; Stories in Clay Exhibit

At an early age Johnnie began drawing and decorating everything insight. He studied illustration and drafting at the Design Drafting School of Colorado where he later worked as a substitute instructor of technical illustration. Johnnie continues to design ceramic pieces, as well as his modern skull paintings and pen & ink drawings.

A joint study by Group Health Research Institute and Bastyr University Research Institute has found that type 2 diabetes patients who received naturopathic care (as an adjunct to conventional care) had lower blood-sugar levels, better eating and exercise habits, improved moods, and a stronger sense of control over their condition than did patients receiving only conventional care.
The findings, published in BMC Complementary and Alternative Medicine, show that complementary and alternative medicine (CAM) may have several positive effects on people with type 2 diabetes, which affects nearly 26 million Americans.
"The news is encouraging for those fighting the disease," said Ryan Bradley, ND, MPH, director of the Diabetes and Cardiovascular Wellness Clinic at Bastyr Center for Natural Health, the University's teaching clinic. "Patients involved in the study cited the benefits of trying different approaches to find the best ways to minimize the effects of type 2 diabetes. In many ways, that strategy mirrors our partnership with Group Health in this research study — working together to discover the best possible solutions."
Forty study participants received counseling on diet, exercise and glucose monitoring from four naturopathic physicians (NDs) in addition to conventional diabetes care from their medical doctors, including prescription medications. Many of the participants also received stress-management care and dietary supplements. Researchers then compared these 40 participants with 329 patients receiving only conventional diabetes care.
In six months and about four naturopathic treatment visits, participants demonstrated improved self-care, more consistent monitoring of glucose and improved moods. Hemoglobin A1c rates (a measure of blood-sugar control) were nearly a full percentage point lower for those patients. This compares with a drop of only 0.5 percent over the same time period for 329 clinically similar patients receiving only conventional diabetes care. The encouraging findings from this small observational study will need to be confirmed by a randomized trial with larger numbers of participants, according to Dr. Bradley.
Finding more effective ways of treating type 2 diabetes is important because it is one of the top-10 causes of death in Americans and is costly to treat: $1 out of every $10 spent on health care in the United States is used to fight type 2 diabetes, at a cost of $178 billion every year.
"Our number-one goal is to help patients," added Daniel Cherkin, PhD, a senior investigator at Group Health Research Institute. "Collaboration with our research colleagues at Bastyr University allows us to explore a broader range of ways to help meet the needs of our patients."
Drs. Bradley and Cherkin's coauthors were Karen J. Sherman, PhD, MPH, Sheryl Catz, PhD, Lou Grothaus, MA, and Luesa Jordan of Group Health Research Institute in Seattle; and Carlo Calabrese, ND, MPH, and Erica B. Oberg, ND, MPH, of Bastyr University in Kenmore, WA.
The National Center for Complementary and Alternative Medicine (NCCAM) and the National Center for Research Resources (NCRR) funded this project.
Bastyr University, located north of Seattle, Washington, is an accredited institution, internationally recognized as a pioneer in natural medicine. Founded in 1978, the University also includes an outstanding clinical training facility at Bastyr Center for Natural Health, located on Stone Way in Fremont. The University's second campus, Bastyr University California, will open in San Diego, in fall 2012, to become that state's first and only accredited school of naturopathic medicine.

"What are you looking for?"
Not rhyming text or picture books. We probably meet too many cliche talking animals in our submissions mailbox, too. We are reading chapter books, middle grade and youngish YA, at this time - something dealing with modern issues. Perhaps a young girl with obesity issues, as one idea.
Due to heavy mail, our current response time is at least three months. Thank you for being patient.
Specifically, what subject matters are most interesting to us? I'll tell you (in no particular order):
- Altruism (and other anti-narcissism themes)
- Creativity: the importance of it, fostering it, etc.
- Forgiveness
- Gratitude
- Tolerance/Acceptance
- What is a conscience? How do we foster it? Use it?
- Leadership and/or Entrepreneurship
- Divergent (vs. Convergent) Thinking
- Systems Thinking
- Healthy and sustainable eating
No distractions or interruptions, please. I am loath to admit this, but I must convey to you the truth. Manuscripts that are not submitted as Word documents (in .doc format vs. .docx), double-spaced in Times New Roman font 12-pt and without illustrations are distracting in a way you would not want them to be. So, to position yourself for the possibility of success, please submit your manuscripts in the following manner:
- As a Word document (in .doc format)
- Double-spaced
- With Times New Roman font 12-pt
- With your suggested title and name at the top of each page as well as a word count on page one
- With pages numbered
- Without illustrations
Send your cover letter/email with manuscript and executed Manuscript Submission Policy & Agreement as two attachments to me via email to submissions (at) littlepicklepress(dot)com.
Following the above guidelines, you eliminate all distractions and allow me, our Senior Reader, and our team to focus on your all-important written words.
Our selection process. Once I receive your complete submission, I will forward your manuscript to our Senior Reader. She will read it and send me her preliminary thoughts. If she has a favorable opinion of the manuscript, then I will read it. If the manuscript resonates with me, then I send it to one of our Editors and our Art Director. If they like it, too, then we schedule a call or meeting to discuss its merits. If at any point during our process, a team member thinks that the work does not fit for us, then I will let the author know. If you indicate that you would like specific feedback, I will do my best to include that in my note back to you. Please be patient as this process might take three months or longer from the date we receive your manuscript. It goes without saying that if you want your manuscript returned, you must include a self-addressed stamped envelope (SASE) and it should have at least the same amount of postage as your original mailing to return everything to you. If you only send a letter-sized envelope with one postage stamp, you'll only receive a one-page letter back from us, not your entire multi-page manuscript package.
Thanks for your interest. Thank you for your interest in Little Pickle Press. Thanks for reading this post. And if you elect to send us a submission, thanks also for considering us as your publisher. I know from experience all that you have gone through to get to this point, and I respect and honor you for it.

DIRECTOR-8 Urges EC Member-Consumers to be Careful on the Conversion Issue
July 13th, 2012
The Directors of Electric Cooperative in Region VIII or DIRECTOR-8 through its Chairperson Reynaldo Galapon told member-consumers to take caution about the move to register Electric Cooperatives (ECs) with the Cooperative Development Authority (CDA) due to possible adverse impacts on rates and viability.
Chair Galapon said that registration with the CDA should be studied carefully and seriously. "We should not look only into the provision of the new law that promise 'juicy' things to members, we should consider the general effects to our cooperatives as a public electric distribution utility.
A similar move for the conversion was initiated in the 1990's after the Cooperative Code was passed but a huge majority of the consumers opted to maintain the non-stock status of ECs. According to Chair Galapon, "The bases of the proponents for conversion during that time are substantially the same with what they are using now."
This new call to convert ECs into stock cooperatives under CDA triggered by passage of R.A. No. 9520 or the Philippine Cooperative Code of 2008. The law has a provision that electric cooperatives registered with the National Electrification Administration (NEA) may choose to register with the Cooperative Development Authority (CDA).
"The call for conversion made by NASECORE is in fact misleading because the cooperative is now service-oriented cooperative and is being controlled and owned by member-consumers." said Dir Monsueto Delovino, Vice Chairman for Education and Ethics of Director-8 and SAMELCO II BOD Member.
NASECORE is a national association pushing for electricity reforms. It cites what it calls "control" of ECs by member-consumers as main reason for their position favoring conversion.
"The consumers are already controlling their ECs in two modes: directly, by electing their representative to the Board of Directors, by passing resolutions during General Membership Assembly meetings, and by voting during a referendum. Indirectly, by managing the business of the cooperative through their district representatives in the Board of Directors" added Vice-Chair Delovino.
Conversion proponents announce that if converted, cooperatives will be tax exempt and entitled to congressional allocations as well as other financial grants. Calling it "misinformation", DIRECTOR-8 Vice Chairman for Finance Carlito Suba-an said that "RA 9520 expressly stated that tax exemption applies only to transactions of the cooperative with its own members, but does not totally exempt the cooperative from taxes and other government fees." He added that "The promise of congressional fund remains to be seen."
At present, the ECs already avail of grants from the National government and loans from the National Electrification Administration.
"Our serious problem now is power. EPIRA Law has restructured the power industry, and its promise of reasonable, affordable and reliable power has not been realized." Chair Galapon said.

Date: October 7th 2010
Hello Please join us for the private view of: 'A beautiful encounter with unsafe sculpture' 6.30 - 9.35 Tue 12th Oct at the A&D Gallery at the gallery.(http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ra5o6r3xTq4) Constructed from saw blades and knives, they add intimidation and danger to a purity of line. The relationship of the metallic edge and the organic shapes they create enhance the conflict that is inherent in the artist's vision. For Jones, the work is a response to perceived alienation and gender & trans gender politics, for the viewer, the tension and fragile boundaries created by the sculpture convey a universal emotion that transcends any original motivation. The nature of the work means that this exhibition is quite brief and ends on 19th October. If you can't attend the pv, please make every effort to see this fascinating work. Daniel SPECIAL NOTE: The exhibition is dedicated to the memory of the Gallery's friend Richard Martin. 20% of sales will be given to "Music for Hospitals" in his name. |
