Maria Theresa was born May 13, 1717, in Vienna, Austria. In 1740 she succeeded to the Habsburg throne. In resistance, Frederick II's army invaded and claimed Silesia. The war ended in 1748, after which she reformed her government and military. In 1756 Frederick II waged the Seven Years War against her. In 1765 she appointed her son her co-regent. She died November 29, 1780, in Vienna, Austria.
"I found myself without money, without credit, without army, without experience and knowledge of my own and finally, also without any counsel because each one of them at first wanted to wait and see how things would develop."
"I can never have enough children; in this I am insatiable."
Early Life
Holy Roman Emperor Charles VI and his wife, Elisabeth Christine of Brunswick-Wolfenbüttel, welcomed their first daughter, Maria Theresa, into the world on May 13, 1717. She was born at the Hofburg Palace in Vienna, Austria.
Maria Theresa's father was the last remaining male heir to the Habsburg throne, so before she was born, fearing that he might not produce a son, Charles VI reformed the Salic Law, which prevented any female heir from succeeding her father. In 1713 he issued the Pragmatic Sanction to ensure his eldest daughter's right to take over the throne when he died, provided he never had a son. In 1720 Charles worked tirelessly to earn support for the sanction from his crown lands and several of the great European powers. Over time, they begrudgingly agreed to honor the sanction.
Maria Theresa's education and upbringing were typical of a princess's at the time. Her studies focused on frivolous skills thought befitting a young noblewoman. Despite the fact that Maria Theresa, who indeed still did not have a brother, was increasingly likely to inherit the Habsburg throne, she was ill-acquainted with affairs of state.
Marriage and Children
Charles VI had been encouraged by his trusted adviser, Prince Eugene of Savoy, to marry Maria Theresa off to a powerful prince. Instead, Charles VI allowed his daughter to marry for love. In 1736 Maria Theresa and her beloved Duke Francis Stephen of Lorraine, France, were wed. Since Lorraine could potentially be incorporated into the Habsburg Empire, Duke Francis appeased France by conceding to trade his province for Tuscany, which was of considerably lesser value.
Over the course of her marriage, Maria Theresa would give birth to a sizable brood. Her 16 children consisted of 5 sons and 11 daughters, including the future queen of France, Marie Antoinette.
Succession and Resistance
In October of 1740, Charles VI died. It was time for Maria Theresa, then 23 years old, to succeed to the Habsburg throne. Subjects of her crown lands—the Austrian duchies and Netherlands, and Bohemia and Hungary—were quick to accept Maria Theresa as their empress. But Maria Theresa immediately faced resistance to her succession from European powers who had previously agreed to her father's Pragmatic Sanction. Under the leadership of Frederick II, King of Prussia, those powers formed a coalition against Maria Theresa.
By December of that year, Frederick II's army invaded Silesia, an Austrian province, and claimed it for his kingdom. Bavaria and France followed suit with their own invasion of Habsburg territories, resulting in an eight-year conflict dubbed the War of the Austrian Succession.

On Tuesday July 25, the library will hold a forum to examine the many aspects of this complicated issue. We invite the public to join us at 7 P.M. in an open and relaxed discussion of all the advantages and disadvantages of the proposed new K-8 school for MSAD 46. In 1991 the construction of a new middle school to be built on property owned by Horace and Perry McKenney on Rte. 94 was proposed by the SAD 46 School Board. In a vote conducted in September of that year, it was defeated by a vote of 997 to 718. Exeter was the only town to vote in favor of the measure. Dexter voters soundly defeated the proposal by a 741 to a 475 vote. In the following years, SAD 46 middle school students have continued to learn under crowded and less than ideal conditions. Most SAD 46 residents agree that the present building needs to be replaced. Since 1991 the school board has been discussing many options to replace the middle school: more recently with a K-8 school. This would mean closing the present schools on Abbott Hill as well as both the Garland and Exeter schools. Questions over the site selected, the rational for building a K-8 school versus a middle school, and many other questions about the project have been raised by the public. Area residents are encouraged to bring their questions, comments, criticisms, evaluations, etc. This is your chance to contribute your thoughts and ideas to a positive and supportive discussion. Share with our community what you envision the future of the District's K-8 education program could be. Everyone will get a chance to to be heard. Moderator will be Dave Pearson of Dexter. For more information, please contact the library 924-7292. |

"Love this hotel"
My 4th stay at this hotel. Always just for one night when we need to get to the airport and I always wish it could be longer. Lovely comfortable, clean rooms. Staff are great and really helpful.Autentične Hotels.com recenzije gostiju
"nice hotel"
Nice hotel on the water. Walking distance to everything. My only complaint that seems to be common in a few places is I had no cell service in the hotel. As soon as you step outside the hotel you get 5 bars of service, but step 3 feet inside the hotel and you get none. This is inconvenient and could potentially make for expensive hotel phone bills if […] you need to make a lot of calls. Not the hotel's fault though. It happened in a few places in town close to the water. I was on the Roger's phone network. Pročitajte višeAutentične Hotels.com recenzije gostiju

"One of tour most enjoyable hotel stays ."
This was one of the nicest hotel experiences we have had in some time. Sidney is a small town with a lot of charm and an easy walk from the Anacortes Ferry if traveling with light luggage. The Sidney Pier Hotel and Spa room was spacious, sparkling new and the views were impressive and great for people or boat watching. We could see the local young gendarmes […] on bikes patrolling the harbor and stopping to say hello as we walked the pier. The hotel staff was friendly and helpful. After an afternoon at Butchart Gardens, we had our dinner sitting outside on our rooms patio 3rd floor, overlooking most of the harbor. The weather was perfect. Afterwards we took a walk along the Sidney Harbor-side Boardwalk with it's wonderful sidewalk sculptures. Everyone said we must go to Victoria. We will do that on our next trip, but will stay with this hotel. Our only regret was that we had only one day before returning. This was a perfect get-away with a lot less traffic and such different sunlight hours. We both this hotel 5 out of 5 stars for comfort, cleanliness, and enjoyment.

CHARLOTTE--With the Democratic National Convention a little longer than two weeks away, hundreds of Charlotte-area property owners still hope to cash in by renting their condos or homes.
But as the convention nears, the odds of success are slim.
Despite high hopes from property owners, rental brokers are cautioning them to realistic with their asking prices and expectations this close to the convention.
Sarah Brown is more than happy to give a tour of her home.
Two weeks ago, Brown put her newly renovated, three bedroom, two bathroom Dilworth property on the rental market during the Democratic National Convention.
Brown's asking price is $1,100 dollars a night.
"We thought our house would be perfect for a family or a groups of people coming in together," said Brown. Brown and hundreds of other Charlotte-area condo and homeowners are hoping to cash in, while ducking out of town during the convention.
Some have found renters, while others nervously wait for nibbles on websites like DNCrental.com and DNCdigs.com.
Lexie Longstreet of DNCdigs.com said the buyer's market is $100-$300 dollars per room and bathroom. "Now we're seeing a tail end rush with everyone who waited and waited, now they are thinking, oh now, we'll do it, we'll try," said Longstreet.
With the convention less than three weeks away, Longstreet fears only 10 percent of available DNC Dig properties will get rented.
"We're having a lot of people ask us if they should list, if it's too late. We're telling them if they don't price it aggressively, don't give a good bargain price, they're probably not going to see rental at this time," said Longstreet.
Brown remains hopeful her home will get picked up and for now is sticking with her original offer.
"As things go along we will think about dropping the price, but I think with this neighborhood, it's really going to command the premium price," said Brown.
Some homeowners put their listings up in January and they're still waiting, but brokers said some homes were rented for as high as $12,000 dollars for the convention week.
People who list on DNC Convention rental websites usually spend between $35 and $100 dollars per property listing, depending on whether it's a home or condo.

PUBLIC OUTCRY: Should Arizona "Organizers" Receive Over 30% On Your Donated Dollar on Recall Efforts?
Wednesday, June 12th, 2013I'm sure you have heard of social welfare organizations who have been on notice for abusing their non profit status. This issue has dominated recent news with regard to some tea party groups — but what about other groups?
There is now public outcry from Arizona Democratic grassroots community organizers like Gail Shoultes and Angel Garcia (who have created the Arizona Working Democrats Club locally). Arizona Progressive Democratic organizers are cleaning their own "Democratic House," too.
Gail and Angel decided to take a closer look at Randy Parraz and Citizens for Better Arizona (CBA), and the results of their investigation are enclosed here for you to analyze for yourself. Parraz has prided himself on the Recall Russell Pearce efforts until his Recall Arpaio effort failed miserably. Indeed many are wanting to know what happened to the claimed $1.3 million donated in failed recall Arpaio effort.
Gail and Angel believe Mr. Parraz has carved out a career for himself as a "consultant" to the organization he co-founded. At first they were under the impression Parraz was a volunteer (like them) trying to effect change for the better but what they discovered from the only Arizona finance report Parraz has ever filed was that he was no volunteer, he was a paid community organizer. He is paid from public donations and contributions and you can see in their below graph where it appears the leader of the pack is receiving at least 30% of every dollar that is donated.
Gail Shoultes recently delivered this media packet to Brahm Resnik of Channel 12, Channels 3, 5, 10, 15 & ASU's Cronkite News with the below cover letter that states:
June 11, 2013
Angel Garcia and I are local community organizers and progressive Democrats. We became aware of the activities of local activist Randy Parraz in January 2011. He announced the formation of an organization called Citizens for a Better Arizona with the intent to recall former Arizona Senator Russell Pearce due to all the anti-immigrant legislation he was trying to pass. The other activity that had consumed Parraz/CBA was railing against Maricopa County Sheriff, Joe Arpaio.
At first, we were on board with Mr. Parraz and CBA and supported his efforts, but that all changed about one year later. CBA was originally registered with the state as a "recall committee." It all seemed on the up and up until the recall and special election ended. When, at the end of January 2012, Citizens for a Better Arizona announced their immediate support for Paul Penzone, Democratic Primary candidate for Sheriff of Maricopa County, it became clear that CBA had expanded well beyond a recall committee. In fact, it was about this time that Parraz/CBA began communicating they were now a "social welfare organization."
Citizens for a Better Arizona continued to ask for donations to support their activites related to promoting Penzone and hammering on Arpaio. What piqued our interest in examining CBA further was the fact that they no longer published their Arizona finance reports. Parraz is a man who continually preaches about transparency from our elected leaders, yet he had become secretive about CBA's finances. It is true that non-profit organizations that call themselves social welfare organizations are not required by state law to publish their finance reports. It is also true, however, that social welfare organizations are not free to engage in political activity without bounds.
We decided to take a closer look at Parraz and CBA. The results of our investigation are enclosed for you to analyze for yourself. Mr. Parraz has carved out a career for himself as a "consultant" to the organization he co-founded. At first we were under the impression he was a volunteer, just like us, trying to effect change for the better. What we discovered from the only Arizona finance report he ever filed was that he was no volunteer, he was a paid community organizer.
In the spirit of accountability and transparency we submit these investigative results to you for your consideration. The community deserves to know the truth about whose lead they are following. They deserve to know that 30 cents of every dollar they donate goes to Parraz directly. They deserve to know that CBA is far more a political action committee than a social welfare organization. The IRS should know that too, especially in light of the IRS interest in non-profit organizations that call themselves social welfare organizations under IRC section 501 (c)(4), but are involved primarily in political activity. Please contact Gail at firstname.lastname@example.com if you have questions or need clarification on anything that has been presented.
Sincerely yours,
Gail Shoultes
Community OrganizerAngel Garcia
Community Organizer
Gail raises good questions. For instance, why are there discrepancies in the CBA federal tax return for 2011 — an IRS form 990-EZ (document #6) submitted by Randy Parraz, President vs the forensic federal tax return prepared by a hired accountant using the Arizona finance report submitted by Citizens for Better Arizona for the tax year 2011 (document #7)?
Gail and Angel believe the most glaring problem with these 2 documents is that there are different sets of figures reported. In their findings, Document #7 below was prepared by an unbiased party using the very figures CBA submitted to the Arizona Secretary of State, and they surmise that document #7 is the accurate tax return. They believe Document #6 (report submitted by Parraz) appears not to be an accurate tax return. Additionally, it appears Parraz failed to include "in-kind" donations int he information submitted to the IRS. All "in-kind" donations would appear in both the Income and the Expenditures columns, and even so, the figures Parraz reported do not match the figures on the forensic tax return or on the CBA Arizona Finance Report.
Gail Shoultes financially contributed to CBA, and she believes the community deserves to know the truth about whose lead they are following. Gail and Angel believe the community deserves to know that 30 cents of every dollar they donate goes to Parraz directly. They also believe the public should know that CBA is far more a political action committee than a social welfare organization.
In an attempt to do more digging, both Gail and Angel wrote a letter to Chad Snow who is the Chairman of CBA below:

First time up Ralston. Picked the one day this week without t-storms in the forecast, and it ended up a perfect day. Trail to summit is snow-free, and it looks like most of Desolation Wilderness is melted out as well. Didn't see a soul the whole way up and down until I got back to the parking lot. What's this about overcrowded wilderness? | ||

Good workout with not too many views for the first half but the end result is well worth it. On a clear day you can see Lake Aloha, Lake Tahoe, Echo Lake (Lower and Upper), and numerous lakes and peaks in the Desolation Wilderness region. | ||

My new girlfriend JoAnn and I hiked to the summit on a gorgeous Fall day. It was warm all the way up, but cold and windy on the summit. When we first arrived, Fallen Leaf/Tallac/Lake Tahoe were obscured by low clouds (kinda' cool), but cleared away during our lunch on the summit. The views.... spectacular!! | ||

Use to ascend in winter and summer when I lived in Incline Village. Horsetail Falls is my faviorite part about this whole area. Mosquitos don't do well at Tahoe elevation, but for like 4 weeks, watch out up at these lakes. We camped along Lake Aloha and got nailed one year. I remember that like it was yesterday. Cheers! | ||

It was a very warm sunny day with no wind at all. The views where really cool because Tahoe was completely covered in fog due to an inversion. The snow coverage was good and I used snow shoes all the way to the top. | ||

Loki x Pregnant! Reader Icy ColdsLoki x Pregnant! Reader Icy Colds"Loki, Loki!" (Name) called from the living area, rubbing her large tummy contentedly (as stereotypical pregnant mothers seem to always do). It was hardly a second before a very familiar figure teleported into the room. Then a rather chill handed rested on her shoulder gently from behind."You called, my love?" He murmured as she giggled. That is, until she felt a sneeze coming on."U-Uh, yeah, but you should really move back!!" She replied with a shove, and pushed him backwards as she let the lovely sneeze out. "ACHOO!!""…(Name)…you just froze…you just froze my boot!!" He exclaimed, pointing at her and then at the now ice covered shoe. She blushed lightly, offering her lamest grin yet."Sorry, Loki…that's actually what I wanted to show you, to be honest." She admitted as he stepped closer to her, examining her body."And how exactl
Tiny Lady (Loki x Baby!Reader)"I vow that everyone here shall suffer if someone does not remove this fiend from my person!" Loki growls as he tries to untangle your curious fingers from the silken edge of his pants.Thor's laughter is booming as he steps forward to pick you up and hold you in one of his large arms."Now brother, this tiny lady is no fiend," Thor coos playfully, stretching out a single finger to tickle at your belly.You laugh giddily, small fingers wrapping about his finger, a large grin on your face."Yes," Sif says in that gentle baby voice everyone seems so keen on adopting when in the presence of an infant, "She's a lady."Sif wiggles her finger over your stomach and you watch her silently before laughing and reaching out to take one of her fingers in your hand."Agreed!" Fandral throws in, sauntering over to peer down at your face.You trill delightfully at the addition of third face, hands on a new mission as they stretch
Loki x Reader You're Reading...Loki x Reader You're Reading…"…A what??" Loki asked as the laptop quickly snapped shut in front of his face. He cast a glance over at the lovely damsel known as (Name), who had an embarrassed blush creeping up her face."I-It's nothing worth looking at, really!" She replied as she made an attempt to high tail it out of there ASAP. Unfortunately, Loki had other ideas."No, (Name), I want you to tell me; What was that Loki x (Name) piece of electric literature I saw on your page a moment ago?" He half-asked, half-demanded. She couldn't help but gulp as she gave in to his intimidation."I-It was a fan fiction.""A fan fiction? What kind of fiction is that?" He asked curiously, her fingers drumming along the top of the laptop nervously."A fan fiction is a story where people will take two characters or people and put them together in a story. Sometimes it's a character and the
Depressed!Romano x Reader- Whiskey LullabyHe had kept all your letters.The normal, almost automatic like thing people would usually do when they receive letters is to read them once, or skim them over again just to make sure that they had read it entirely right, quickly soaking in the words that had been written or typed by a loved one or friend. Even a bill of some sort would be quickly read through and paid in no time, leaving the white strip to be tossed into a nearby trash can- And the only time people would usually send letters is to wish someone a happy birthday, or to congratulate the person on some life accomplishment or simple goal that they were aiming to achieve, like finally bearing a child or graduating from high school and entering the college of their dreams. Simple letters had been getting scarcer the more technology through the ages has progressed into a world wide fenominom, leaving pieces of paper with conversations people would treasure and hold near to them to diminish little by little. It was on
Neko!Dave X Reader: Give Me Love!(Y/n) sighed and stretched."Fiiiiinally, I'm done!" She exclaimed.She closed her laptop and sighed again, getting up."Guess I'll go watch a movie." She thought to herself.She began heading down and went to take her favorite drink, some popcorn and of course, some apple juice for Dave.As she entered the living room, her eyebrow twitched."Dave."Dave's ear twitched at the sound of (Y/n) calling him. He looked at her."Why are you without a shirt?"Dave shrugged. (Y/n) sighed and went to the sofa, sitting in it. Dave sat beside her and slowly got closer. (Y/n) didn't say anything, she knew what he wanted."Here." She handed him his apple juice.Dave slightly smiled and snuggled in (Y/n)'s neck as a thanks. He then drank all the juice.(Y/n) started the movie and placed the popcorn and the drink in the small table next to her.Then, she felt weight in her lap. She knew what it was.(Y/n)
England X Reader: Teach Me How to Ice Skate"Arthur, can you finally tell me why you decided to bring me here?" you asked, turning your head to the side to look at your emerald-eyed companion who walked next to you, your gloved hand tightly holding on to his.At the sound of your voice, Arthur shifted his gaze, which was previously focused on the path ahead of him, over to look at you, and upon seeing the eager and slightly impatient expression on your face, he let out a tiny smile. "You'll find out soon, _____," he replied, turning his gaze back in front of him.You pouted slightly and clenched your fists impatiently, causing your grip on Arthur's hand to tighten. "You've been telling me that ever since we walked out of the house, and I still don't know why.""I'll tell you once we get there," Arthur answered simply, not even turning his head to look at the slightly disappointed expression on your face.You let out a groan and removed your hand from h
(Butler!Dave x Reader) Ironic...Dave Strider.That's a fancy name for a butler, she thought. Then she notices another letter inside the envelope. It says :Dear [Name],We forgot to tell you that one of the actor which is working with us agreed to marry you~ He is a fine men, don't worry.Dave Strider, your new butler will teach you about the movie world business!The engagement is in a month~P.S. You can't refuse, and don't start an argument with us.Love, Mom and DadNow that's surprising. She frowns, feeling angry inside. Why didn't her parents ask about her opinion, at least? But then, she just sigh. She knew she doesn't stand a chance against her parents.Just as she's about to put the letter inside the envelope back, she heard a knock on the door. That must be Strider."Come in"The said man opens the door, revealing himself. He's pretty good looking, with platinum blonde hair. But unfortunately, he wears a pair of aviator shade
The Mirror (Loki x Reader)Loki has no idea, you're certain, of how lonely he is. You watch him pace about his chambers—as you always did—clearly unsure as to what to do with himself. He feels angry, betrayed, and confused. And always he forces himself to carry this burden alone. His sits down heavily on his bed, head in his hands, and you move to obtain a finer view of the man. Perhaps you should reveal yourself to him, let him know someone was there for him. But you knew full and well how skittish he could be, both untrusting and unwilling. You run a gentle hand down the edge of the glass, tracing the outline of his defeated reflection. You sigh heavily as you pull away from the mirror, washing the image of the man from it confines, leaving only a copy of your lone image.The knock at your chamber door pulls from your reverie and elegantly you glide over to answer its call. It's Sif. She grins at you and you can't help but smile back as you invite her in."How have you been?
My Boss' Secret 8 (Modern AU! Rivaille x Reader)Scratchy and ticklish, that's how I would describe the fibers that reached up and itched my cheek. There's one major problem with my current sleeping arrangement and of course, the perpetrator also happens to be the very source of my recent problems. I don't think there's any need to elaborate more on that fact."You're a terrible host, I hope you know that." With my voice low and still recovering from my sudden wake up call, I called out to the man stretched across the bed."The alarm was ringing for ten minutes and you were still off in whatever sick world you dream of.""Who wakes up at six in the morning on a Sunday anyways!?" I cried in utter displeasure and found the strength to pick myself of the carpeted ground.Seeing that I was ready to get up and moving, Rivaille removed himself from the bed and began to push me towards the bathroom."Hurry up and get ready, we have cleaning to do."Oh somebody ple
Let Me Take You ThereIt was getting later and later into the day and Misty was starting to think it was going to be another day before she saw him. Ash had just finished in the Sinnoh League and had come 4th, better than he had ever done before and she was so proud of him. When he announced that he'd be going home to get some rest after the Suzuran Conference, Misty immediately left for Pallet Town, leaving the Gym in the hands of her sister Daisy. Normally she would never entrust any of her sisters with this kind of responsibility. Violet and Lily were hardly ever seen at the Gym anymore with their new careers as 'Actress/Models' and Daisy was the only one of them who spent any time with the Pokémon nowadays. It was a little sad really but Misty had accepted a long time ago that her sisters were never going to become full time Gym Leaders again, except maybe Daisy. Misty had been training her sister to become a part time Gym Leader for whenever she needed to leave on short notice and her skills had c

720p Mario Galaxy — this time in motion!
Screenshots? Who needs 'em? They don't move, and if you're a T-Rex, you can't even see them. Lame.
Fortunately, GoNintendo has three glorious minutes of 720p Mario Galaxy in fluid, silky smooth motion.
Go check it out. Pine for what could have been.

Fumito Ueda not impressed by GTA IV and Mario Galaxy
Ico and Shadow of the Colossus creator Fumito Ueda stated — in an interview with LEVEL (translated by neoGAF member "darkwings") — that GTA IV and Mario Galaxy failed to blow him away.
Talking about GTA IV, Ueda said that "the biggest problem with the game is the lack of innovative things in the game. The graphic style impresses, but not the base premise, which is exactly the same as the predecessors."
Next up, Ueda discussed Mario Galaxy, saying that he'd heard Miyamoto took some inspiration for the game from Shadow of the Colossus. Ueda, of course, brought the space-traversing plumber back down to earth.
"Yes I have played it, it was hard to not to since it was rumored that Miyamoto-san was inspired by me. But I had expected more, that segment, was like the rest of the game not so fun as it could had been. I think the fans made a big deal out of nothing when they said Miyamoto had stolen from me. The thing I am critical over isn't that they didn't borrow anything that isn't unique for my game, but that they didn't make more fun stages out of it," he said.
Ouch. More through there, if you haven't already torn down all your Ueda posters and burned them in effigy.

What Mario Galaxy looks like at 720p
What happens if you get a Wii emulator running at 720p, stick Mario Galaxy on and takes some screenshots of it? This does. Pretty, innit?

Putting any issues with your e-mail service provider's limits on large messages aside, sending large attachments through e-mail is still a bad idea for a number of reasons:
Fortunately, there are a lot of alternatives for sending files to people over the Internet which avoid these problems while making sure your files get to the destination safely and securely. Depending on the type of files you want to send, the following are some of the options available to you.
All of these alternatives basically boil down to:
Put your files in a shared location and then send a link.
Sharing files with others inside your organization can be accomplished in a number of ways.
If your organization uses Office SharePoint Server and provides you with a My Site you can upload your files to your My Site's Shared Documents library, and then include a link to the file in your e-mail message. Even if your organization doesn't provide a My Site for you, there still may be a SharePoint document library where you can upload the file and send a link. (Ask your resident IT Professional if you have a SharePoint Site you can use.)
A side benefit is that if your recipients will always have access to the latest version, instead of a stale attachment.
Copying a link from SharePoint can be a little tricky. When you have the SharePoint document library to which you've uploaded your file open, right click on the link to the document, and select Copy Shortcut. Then you can paste the shortcut into your e-mail and send it.
If your organization doesn't have SharePoint, you may have a shared file server or other location where you can copy the file and allow others to access the file without needing to send it through e-mail.
If you want to send files to people outside your organization, or you use Outlook at home or school, there are lots of other ways to share files, depending on the type of file.
If you don't have SharePoint in your organization or are using Outlook outside of work, you can get some of the benefits of SharePoint by signing up for a free Office Live Workspace. With a Workspace, you can access and store files for yourself or share documents with other people and collaborate directly in your Workspace.
If you don't need the full power of a Workspace, consider using a file sharing website that lets you upload any file and share those files with other people. For example, using Windows Live SkyDrive you can upload up to 5GB of files for yourself, to share with other people, or share with everyone.
If you are sending pictures to someone, consider resizing those pictures before you send them. With modern digital cameras, each picture can be 3MB or more when you download them from your camera. Consider reducing the size of your pictures and then sending them through e-mail. You can find out more information on how to have Outlook automatically resize your pictures for you on Office Online.
If you don't want to resize your pictures, you can use any number of photo sharing websites where you can upload your pictures and then send a link to them in an e-mail message. For example, you could use Windows Live Spaces, Flickr, or SmugMug.
With video files, I highly recommend uploading video clips to a video sharing website or a general file sharing website. If your video is something you wouldn't mind anyone seeing, you could upload it to a video sharing website like MSN Video or YouTube. If you want to keep your video private, consider treating the video like a document and using a method described in the Documents section above.
These are just some of the options you have for sending files to other people instead of attaching them to an e-mail. When you use one of these alternative ways to share files with your friends, family, or colleagues you help them keep your mailbox and theirs clean, and you can be sure that your file will be available no matter what service or program your e-mail recipients are using.

There will be day of race registration for $10 extra. Online registration closes Saturday, July 27 at 11AM.
This race marks the end of the 2013 Bellingham Trail Running Series! We will have a great post race party complete with a live band, award ceremony, tasty food, and local beer. We have chosen a popular and challenging course for the final race. There will be a lot of single track trails (just one dirt road section that climbs up Cleater Road in the 30k for 3 miles) with lake, ocean, and mountain views. Both races will climb Chuckanut Mountain from the start at Larrabee State Park.
30K: The 30k is a Bellingham classic, also known as the "Middle 18" for those runners who are familiar with the Chuckanut 50k. It has a little of everything and will test runners skill on narrow and technical single track trails, long climbs and descents, a shorter steep climb, with some beautiful views from the Chuckanut Ridge, Fragrance Lake, and Lost Lake Trail. Course has about 5,000 feet of elevation gain. Scroll down for a Garmin map.
12K: The 12k will challenge runners to a good climb up Fragrance Lake Trail and onto what we fondly call "Chinscraper" (Black Diamond) for the last 3/4 of a mile of the climb: a steep relentless climb, rewarding runners with a view from the top of Chuckanut Mountain at Cyrus Overlook. The 12k will then descend for the last half of the race, a pure up and down course! The 12k has about 1,600 feet of elevation gain.

The Rochester Series Pedals from Whirlwind
Here's the Story...
Back in 1961, Michael Laiacona was an ambitious 12 year old bass player/ guitar player with boundless energy, playing in an Albany band covering the likes of Herman's Hermits, Dave Clark Five and of course, the Beatles. Being a kid entailed having no money, but with youth came an imagination that had no limitations. Michael would spend countless hours tinkering with an old soldering gun and whatever electronic parts he could dig up, trying to create cool new sounds while teaching himself what would later become a calling. By 15, out of necessity he hand built his first PA system complete with a mixing console, monitors, power amps and handmade speaker enclosures. It didn't take long to go from soldering homemade gear in his garage to beginning what would later become an undeniable staple in every up and coming guitar player's rig. A few years later he graduated from the garage to a small factory on Goodman Street, in Rochester NY, where Michael cofounded MXR®. This would be the birth place of the world's first road worthy line of guitar effects pedals.
By 1972 it was clear to him that he had stumbled on to something monumental, but the big question was how to spread the word. Traditional advertising was available but at a staggering cost and even then its reach was unable to accurately target the people that needed to know... guitar players. The answer was priceless, Michael literally spent his evenings going from nightclub to nightclub, plugging his hand wired effects boxes into the rigs of any guitar player that would let him. Needless to say, every single player ended up buying one at the end of the night. Michael knew he wasn't going to get rich this way but how else could he spread the word? Then the "Magic" moment happened on a rainy night in 1973 at "The Red Creek", a little club in Rochester NY. Jessie Ed Davis, the guitar player from the famed band Taj Mahal and session player for the Beatles and Eric Clapton was the featured act and he and Michael hit it off to the tune of staying up until 4:oo am playing guitar in a dark and dingy green room. Jessie fell in love with the pedals and insisted that he get two more for his
"buddies". After a few months, Jessie invited Michael to his home in Marina Del Ray to meet some of his "buddies" . To Michael's surprise and absolute astonishment, he found himself standing in Jessie's living room, face-to-face with one of his first customers, none other than John Lennon. Within a few short years these pedals became the most sought after effects of the 1970s.
In May of 1975 Michael left MXR® and went onto establish Whirlwind®, the indisputable worldleader in audio interface... the rest is history.
Well, almost 40 years into it, Michael has decided to recreate the pedals that got him started in the business in the first place by launching his "Rochester Series Pedals" which are hand wired, American made replicas of the original pedals that still work night after night in the rigs of the greats like Keith, Eric, and Eddie. When asked if he would do anything differently? Michael simply replied,"Yes, I'd add an LED, direct bypass, and a 9 -Volt power input", so we did. Whirlwind is proud to re-introduce the three coolest pedals on the planet. Now plug 'em in, and make a little history of your own.

You say you want a revolution?
( The first 1000 Rochester Series pedals have been signed by Michael Laiacona)
Michael with his' 53 Les Paul ,A cherished giftgiven to him bythe late greatLes Paul himself.
" I first brought these effects pedals to guitarists almost 40 years ago. They were the ones that started a revolution and no one has made them quite the same since . . . hand wired, American made, built to last forever and with the exact same circuits and quality components.
It's the way we did it back then and it's the way we've approached everything we've done since. The ONLY things we changed are the addition of true-by-pass, a 9 Volt power inlet and an LED to indicate when they're active.
To celebrate 40 years in rock-n-roll, we're proud to release the Rochester Series pedals. You're gonna love 'em."

"Love awoke one winter's night
And wander'd through the snowbound land,
And calling to beasts and birds
Bid them his message understand.
And from the forest all wild things
That crept or flew obeyed love's call,
And learned from him the golden words
Of brotherhood for one and all."

December, the Twelfth Month of the year of our Goddess, 2013
December is the twelfth month of the year, its name derived, from the Latin for "ten," as it was the tenth month of the Roman calendar. Its astrological sign is Sagittarius, the Archer (November 23 – December 22), a mutable fire sign ruled by Jupiter. Winter owns the land now, Snow enters the land, and ice silences the streams. Still, this is a month of joy and renewal. Holiday lights glitter and kitchens fill with spicy fragrances from holiday season sweets and pantries. Yule, Hanukkah, Kwanzaa, and Christmas are the holidays of December. At Yule, we celebrate the return of the Sun God and burn the Yule log to honor the strengthening Sun. As we decorate the Yule tree, we honor the evergreen as a symbol of eternal life. The decoration we use on the Yule tree are rich with symbolism. The lights represent stars, fruit-shaped ornaments represent fertility, and the star atop the tree is a symbol of the Divine Spirit. December's Full Moon the first of the Winter Season is known as the Wolf Moon. It is a white, distant Moon that shimmers above the frozen landscape. Acknowledge her by lighting a single white candle in a window. As the Wheel of the Year makes its final turn, we arrive at New Year's Eve, a time to honor our past and think of the future. The endless rhythm of the Seasons continues.

Yule Approaches
The Solstice, taken from the Latin for "the Sun stands still," is considered to be the true New Year–astronomically as well as spirituality. At this time, we see the simultaneous death and rebirth of the Sun-God, represented in the shortest day and longest night of the year. From this time forward, the Sun grows in strength and power as the hours of daylight increase.
Midwinter, or Winter Solstice, marked the end of the first half of the Celtic year. As was Samhain, which has the Roman festival of Pomona and the Christian All Souls grafted on to it, the Celtic Winter Solstice was subsequently confused with the Roman Saturnalia, and later the Christian Christmas, Mythologically, most of the Midwinter celebrations focused on the symbology of a new or younger God, overthrowing the older or father God, which would then bring forth a new and more potent life to the people and the land.
Although the Solstice takes place on December 21, Midwinter (renamed Yule by the Anglo-Saxons) covers several weeks on either side of the Solstice. In medieval times, Yule began around St. Nicholas's Day and ran until Candlemas. Eventually, Yule was redefined to mean the Nativity (December 25) or the 12 days of celebration beginning on this date. The word Christmas then replaced Yule in most English-speaking countries. However the Danish preserved Yule as a way of maintaining their old style of festivities that incorporated several weeks of celebration.
In Wicca, and modern Paganism, the Winter Solstice is the time of new beginnings, a time to reflect on the past and project for the future. Magickally, the Winter Solstice affords us a perfect time to formulate a plan of action, a goal we can work towards during the coming year.

TCM launches five day OCN accredited mediator qualification.
UK's benchmark qualification for workplace and employment mediators.
The National Certificate in Workplace Mediation™ is the UK's benchmark qualification for workplace, employment and business mediators. In response to demand, we now offer an intensive five-day version of the course that enables you/your staff to qualify as a mediator in less time.This can be useful if you are unable to release staff for a six-day course.
