What I like about playing in weddings "To me, what makes each and every wedding unique are the details. Things like the colors chosen for the flowers and decorations and the lovely outfits worn by the bridal party. But the best detail is the one I am directly involved with, and that's the music, getting to play great music is a thrill for me.
Knowing I am doing something that makes the wedding special and unique keeps my work meaningful. Sometimes, I get to do something even more special; arranging a song that has a heartfelt meaning for the wedding party.

What I like about playing in weddings "There are so many breathtaking venues in the Austin area, it is great to see them. Most importantly is the excitement I see in the bride and groom. Regardless of age, the love and excitement that each other has when reciting their vows, to spend the rest of their lives with each other, is endearing."
My most memorable performance "The most memorable musical experience I've been in was in thanks to the horrible weather. The venue is this beautiful outdoor wooden shell that is at the bottom of this grassy hill. The patrons bring lawn chairs and have a perfect view of the stage. We were performing with Austin's own pianist Anton Nel. Just as he was to go onstage, the heavens opened up and it poured rain and lightning streaked across the sky.
The audience was forced to take shelter on the stage. It was cramped! We decided to give the concert a go. So with 80 musicians, soloist and over 100 patrons on stage we gave the most heartfelt, sincere and energetic concert I've ever been a part of. It is one thing to give a concert for an audience who is sitting 50 feet away, but it's magical to play for an audience that is sitting next to you and behind you. The audience could feel and see up close our energy, our breathing and the physical effort it took for us to execute the music, and we wanted to give them more and more. It was such a magical musical bonding experience I'll never forget."

I love watching the joy in the eyes of the bride and groom as they face each other and knowing that I am helping to make their day as special as that joy."
My most memorable performance "While playing with Benny Goodman and Jim Nabors were highlights, my favorite performances were the twelve years I played the Messiah at the Air Force Academy Chapel. The performance begins with the cadet choir entering the Chapel in complete silence with the late sunlight coming in through the stained glass. The combination of beauty and serenity was always inspirational."

It is a unique opportunity for my colleagues and me to give the gift of music in a very personal way."
My most memorable performance "Itzhak Perlman was a legend to me when I was a young girl. He contracted polio as a child and his legs were paralyzed, but he overcame this challenge to become one of the greatest violinists of all time. He came to Austin to perform with the symphony for our centennial celebration. As he worked with the orchestra he was generous, warm and very, very funny. I felt tears welling up in my eyes as he walked onto stage for the concert with his crutches, touched by the greatness of his soul and the honor of sharing a stage with him."

I felt that I was "in the zone" experience that rush of adrenaline. It felt fantastic. The second was performing Beethoven's 9th Symphony with the Quad Cities Symphony. This performance was memorable because the 9th is universally recognized as a stunning work of music. The third was Bach's B minor Mass.

What I like about playing in weddings "What I love most about playing weddings and events is the ability to make a moment perfect. For any event there are hundreds of possibilities for perfection. So many of these variables are beyond anyone's control…the weather, the sound of a plane flying overhead, or even the flower girl running the wrong direction! But every time I'm adding music to someone's big day, it is in my power to make everyone in the room come together, to add fuel to the feeling of celebration. There's nothing that can ruin the beauty of it or interrupt it so long as my colleagues and I continue to move our bows and fingers. The music is what adds that extra shimmer to a one-of-a-kind moment, and I love being the one helping to create that addition."

My most memorable performance "…is a difficult choice! Besides my own personal recitals, and performing epic works like Carmina Burana under the brilliant direction of Dr. Jonathan Babcock, I would have to say playing the Prokofiev Classical Symphony with the Texas State University Chamber Orchestra in an amazing church in Florence, Italy.

Rep. Bill Owens, D-Plattsburgh, was endorsed by the Civil Service Employees Association Thursday, one of 24 Democrats to get the union's support.
Mr. Owens faces Republican Matt Doheny on Nov. 6.
Pointedly, the group skipped over most of the state legislative delegation for the north country.
"Many lawmakers who have long enjoyed CSEA support will not have it this year because they abandoned the working people of this state," CSEA President Danny Donohue said in a news release. "CSEA is holding lawmakers accountable for their actions. The CSEA endorsement has to be earned or else it has no meaning."
The union didn't endorse in the Nov. 6 race between state Sen.

A Government-appointed administrator has recommended that the units be shut down to help tackle the financial crisis at the nearby South London Healthcare NHS Trust. Those protesting argue that leaving a single A&E unit for up to 750,000 people is 'ludicrous and highly dangerous'. AFP PHOTO/Leon Neal (Photo credit should read LEON NEAL/AFP/Getty Images)

MS Dynamics CRM 3.0
If the thread errors I want to capture stuff like: HttpContext.Current.Request.ServerVariables["REMOTE_HOST"]
Regarding on the thread HttpContext issue you mentioned, do you mean you want to access the HttpContext in a thread you manually started through Thread.Start?
Based on my understanding, the HttpContext object is only associated with those ASP.NET worker threads(pickup from thread pool when a request coming). For those custom thread you start through Thread.Start, they're not associated with a HttpContext object automatically. Would you provide some further info about how to will spawn those custom threads and what you'll do in it? Anyway, since custom thread's execution lifecycle may beyound an ASP.NET request's server-side processing lifecycle, it is not recommended(also unsafe) to use Httpcontext objects(like Request, Response) in custom thread's code. If what you want to pass some unchanged data/parameters, you can consider direclty pass them as Thread's input parameters(State data) at startup time.

Oh Cats!
So this is what our couch looks like (both arms)! I don't even know what to say!
Seriously though…I could use your help! Do any of you know of any great ways to keep a cat from mangling the furniture at every possible moment? We trim her nails regularly, play with her often, and have scratch pads and posts galore (which she does use). We've tried repellent sprays, and even aluminum foil at one point (that was a cute look), but despite our best efforts, every day our couch is steadily being shredded into ribbons. Buying a kevlar couch isn't really an option…so if you know of a solution (no declawing), I'd love to hear your suggestions! Thanks in advance!

Curtain Up: Sugden's rendition of 'Barefoot in the Park' well worth seeing
"Barefoot in the Park," now at the Sugden Community Theatre, puts the lie to preconceptions one might have about early Neil Simon, in much the same way that certain other theater works surprise us.
People who do not like Noel Coward will generally concede that in "Private Lives" he rose above his usual arch brittleness to create something enduring.
At the other extreme in terms of mood, many who are not fans of Eugene O'Neill will recognize that in "Long Day's Journey into Night" he created a masterpiece.
For those who might think of Neil Simon as primarily a gag writer, "Barefoot in the Park" can be a similar revelation. This is not to indicate disrespect for the rest of Simon's work at all. Seeing this show the other night, however, was a reminder that at his best, Simon put jokes at the service of a situation that is funny because it is real.
For those who have not seen the play before, or the film starring Jane Fonda and Robert Redford, the story involves a newlywed couple, Corie and Paul, who are starting their married life in a fifth-floor Manhattan walkup, one room with a tiny kitchen "area," no bathtub, a converted dressing room for a bedroom, faulty plumbing and a skylight with a broken pane. Paul is the straight arrow, a newly admitted lawyer who likes life neat and predictable. Corie is the free spirit of the couple, looking for adventure and fun (it is interesting to note that in 1963 when the play is set, no attention is paid to the fact that the independent young woman does not work outside the home). Corie has a mother, Mrs. Banks, single (whether widowed or divorced is never explained). The couple has an eccentric neighbor, Victor Velasco, who is in Corie's view just what her mother needs.
An evening out with mother and Victor leads to too much alcohol and a rousing fight. Cruel things are said and the two-week-married couple talks divorce: incompatible.
This is a comedy, and all of course ends happily. Along the way there are plenty of laughs and gags (many at the expense of the lovelorn love nest of an apartment), but also a great deal of charm and not a little bit of truth about relationships. What person who has ever been in a relationship hasn't sometimes felt that the other is overly stodgy and reserved or on the other hand (or perhaps the same person on other occasions) too feckless and free? Simon reminds that tolerance, accepting the other's foolishness even, is as important as passion for a successful marriage. I first saw this play in New York nearly 50 years ago (how did I get so old when these newlyweds stay so young?). I can appreciate it more today and I thank the Naples Players for bringing the play back. It seemed to me initially an overly safe choice. I believe it was well worth bringing to us.
The cast does well. Tiffany Clementi and Michael Santos are attractive and appealing as the young couple, Val Kuffel is convincingly bohemian, and Diane Davis is a fine Mrs. Banks. I would have to say that while Davis is convincing in the role, Mrs. Banks' lines should be getting bigger laughs. Davis could do with a little help in learning how to sell a joke. But overall a fine, funny evening in the theater and a reminder that Simon is not only a gagster but an important playwright.

Gone is his exaggerated crossover dribble. So are the wild fade-away jumpers, unnecessary reach-in fouls and ill-advised, out-of-control drives into the paint.
The Sean Crawford that starred for Cardozo last season, leading them to another undefeated Queens season as their top scorer, is gone.
Now starting for top-ranked Notre Dame Prep, a team that includes top-five player Mike Beasley, headed to Kansas State, and fellow highly-rated city players Jamine Peterson and Thomas Manzano, he has become a prototypical point guard who cares more about evenly distributing the ball to his immensely talented teammates than lighting up the scoreboard himself.
Meet the new Sean Crawford. He still smiles broadly, speaks softly, and is team first. But his skills and drive on the court are completely different. He seems relieved by his basketball makeover.
"It's easy for me now," says the quick-as-a-whip 5-foot-8 guard after scoring five points and dishing out 11 assists in a 105-82 win over Laurinburg Prep in the Big Apple Basketball Invitational at Hunter College.
It has been a long and winding road for the Laurelton native. He was a highly-touted ninth grader upon entering Holy Cross, enjoying a solid freshman season. Unfortunately, personal issues caused him to stop playing the sport for a while, and he transferred to Cardozo during his sophomore year. Initially academic struggles bedeviled him there, making him ineligible as a junior. He finally got his grades straight for his senior year and enjoyed success last winter, showing signs of talent and skill but was still very raw, often turning the ball over and getting into foul trouble.
"Even though he looked like a talented senior," Cardozo Coach Ron Naclerio said, "he was a basically a freshman out there in terms of experience level, being in tough situations."
When the season ended, at the urging of Naclerio, he enrolled at Notre Dame Prep, a boarding school in Fitchburg, Massachusetts known for producing Division I athletes. When he first got there last August, Crawford was questioning the decision. He found himself in a new environment, one that solely focuses on basketball and schoolwork.
Without a break besides lunch, Crawford goes to school Monday through Saturday from 9 a.m. until 4 p.m., then it's off to practice and/or a game, followed by hours of homework. Once every few weeks he can catch a movie - a far cry from the exciting social options New York City can offer.
His basketball life didn't get off to a good start either. Crawford immediately butted heads with his demanding new coach, Bill Barton. He had to run 2.5 miles just to make the team, and even then, after running a qualifying time of 15:00 minutes, Barton made him finish in 14:00 flat.
Furthermore, Crawford's streetball style wasn't what Barton looked for in his lead guard. "I told him he's the 16th man out of 15 until he starts playing my way," Barton recalled. He would get on Crawford about everything - "anything, class, practice, oh, I didn't square my feet on this shot, I'm slacking on my running," Crawford thought back.
He wanted to leave Notre Dame Prep at the time. Eventually, though, he realized that would be taking the easy way out. "It took a lot to get used to," he admits. "But you got to grow up sometime."
That is all in the past now. Crawford has gone through a reformation under Barton, who praised his hard work and academics, once a shortcoming but now one of his strengths. (Crawford proudly stated his average is up to 86.5.)
Having reclassified, meaning he is now in the class of '08, Crawford isn't even concerned about college. He expects to play somewhere, but right now he's focusing on the next year and a half in Fitchburg. If he continues to improve, his coach has no doubts about his prized pupil. Sonny Vaccaro, Reebok's senior director of grassroots basketball, raved about the kid to Coach Barton after the win over Laurinburg Prep.
"Sure-fire Division I player," the coach says. "No ambiguity about it in my mind. I'll get three guys to start fighting over him."
To Crawford, the change - from his game, to lifestyle, to overall mentality in school - hasn't come easy. His stat-line is as different from a season ago as it could get.
"I'm just now getting used to it, being a pure point guard instead of a scoring point guard," he says. "It's hard, because I'm used to shooting the ball, taking 18, 20 shots a night. But on the next level, nobody wants a 5-10 two guard. I like playing the one."
The coach has noticed. "He's being more of a distributor and a point guard," Barton says. "I think he's a point guard, I really do. The kid comes everyday and busts his butt. He tries to get better ever day. He's very raw, but he has the ability."

Riccione 2012, Water Polo: Three lots of extra time and two penalty shootouts!
Drama it certainly was and right up until the last second at the 14th FINA World Masters Championships where the 274 matches in Riccione certainly provided fantastic publicity for this discipline of the aquatic sports. Exactly one hundred teams took part (one team had to withdraw at the last minute as it did not have enough players) and those present including FINA President, Dr. Julio C. Maglione, FINA Hon. Secretary and President of the Italian Swimming Federation, Paolo Barelli, and FINA Executive Director, Cornel Marculescu, witnessed a fantastic spectacle the likes of which has seldom been seen before. Of the teams taking part twelve of them were women's teams competing in four different age-groups while the remainder in the men's tournament were competing in eight different age-groups. And the finals themselves provided a particularly tense and exciting atmosphere with three of them going into extra time and of those three two went to penalty shoot-outs. In just two age-groups were the winners from Boras in Sweden two years ago able to repeat their triumph and in the women's tournament there was just one successful title defense.
In the age-group 30+, the title went to a team from the host country, Comonaco, from the Ligurian coast near Camogli who defeated the Olympic Club from San Francisco by a score of 8-7 just within normal time. On the American team were two Italian players, Giovanni and Christan Napolitano. Giovanni has been living in the United States for many years and his brother visits him there almost every year. It was a hardly a surprise that he wanted to return home to play in the tournament. No extra time was needed either for the teams in the final of the 35+ age-group where the Romanian team Brenntag Bucharest defeated the Masters WP Club from Rio de Janeiro in Brazil by 12 goals to 10.
It was only in the very final second of extra time that the Veterans Club from Dubrovnik in Croatia was able to score the winning goal in the final of the 40+ age-group to secure the gold medal with a 10-9 victory over the Romanian team, Water Polo Romania. "It was a real goal for us to win here. We have managed it in a fantastic tournament and in a wonderful place!" said the coach, Goran Rurailic, before the team members threw him into the water straight after the final whistle as part of their celebrations. One of the most dramatic finals of all came in the final of the 45+ age-group when the Olympic Club from San Francisco met the Happy Hippos from Hungary. The Magyars were leading 7-3 in the third quarter before the Californians started to pull back goal after goal until they levelled the match. When it came to extra time there was nothing to separate the teams and so it came down to penalties. This time lady luck was on the side of the Olympic Club as it triumphed by 14 goals to 12, a victory enthusiastically celebrated by its supporters in the stands.

The Dynamo Masters club from Moscow, which featured the legendary Olympic champion Georgy Mshvenieradze amongst its players, was able to celebrate a successful title defense in the 50+ age-group but they did need extra time to do so to beat the Santa Barbara club from the USA by 10 goals to 7. Both teams were in the battle for first and second place also two years ago in Sweden. The Santa Barbera club was, however, successful with another team in the 55+ age-group but again needed extra time to secure victory over the De Robben Hilversum club from the Netherlands with a final score of 6-5. In doing so, the goalkeeper, Stephan Harmann wore a cap from the 1970's – with no ear protectors! Luckily, he didn't need them.
The third Santa Barbara team had a slightly easier passage to the final where it met another Amercian side, Chaos, from Los Angeles. However, the final proved nearly as straight-forward as the journey to the final as it won easily 6-0. There was another national duel in the final of the 65+ age-group but this time between two German sides – SV Cannstatt and SV Poseidon from Hamburg. Cannstatt went into the final as defending champions but once again extra time was necessary before the club could claim once again to be Masters World champions, this time with an 8-7 victory.
credit: Giorgio Scala/Deepbluemedia
In the women's 30+ age-group it already looked like all was lost before the whistle had even been blown for the Santa Barbaran women as they only had eight players – two had to drop out due to their pregnancy. With a full team of 15 players the advantage certainly seemed to be with the Italians, Golfo Paradiso. However, the Americans overturned the form book and secured a most unexpected victory 8-6 to defend successfully the title they had won in Boras in 2010. Two women's titles did, however, remain on Italian soil as All Swim Priolo Gargallo took the 35+ age-group title and Sorting Club Argentario the 40+ crown. There was a gold medal for the easily recognisable team from Australia, the Pink Pointers, in the 45+ age-group as they were easy to spot throughout the complex with their famous pink wigs while the American team, California Village, took the title in the 50+ age-group.

May I know what are the step to run spam assasin in Redhat Linux
You've probably sorted this out for yourself by now (or left in despair), but here's the information.
1. You don't have to turn spam assassin on: it runs automatically.
2. Marking an email as junk will enable the program to learn: if it has any suspicious feature, then spam assassin will pay more attention to that feature in future.
3. Look at ~/.spamassassin/user_prefs
This is where you can add your own configuration, by making any particular test more sensitive, lowering the threshhold for marking a suspect email as junk, or even adding your own tests. I have added

CONYERS - In his first season as coach, Chad Suddeth has a pretty interesting goal for the Heritage girls soccer team.Simply, Suddeth wants to the Lady Patriots to be one thing - the Heritage of old. Last year, the Lady Patriots slipped to a 5-10 overall record, including a 2-3 mark in Region 8-AAAA South. It was a season filled with turmoil as then coach Marty Wood resigned with four weeks left in the season, which forced Heritage boys coach Mike Beshiri to do double duty. Even with all the adversity, the Heritage girls nearly pulled off a stunning upset in the first round of the Region 8-AAAA playoffs, falling to Dacula 4-2 on penalty kicks after battling to a 1-1 tie in regulation. "For Heritage standards, last year's five wins were very disappointing and unacceptable," Suddeth said. "We are definitely looking to build on that. We're looking to get back to the Heritage of old, being one of the top teams in our region and being a state tournament qualifier. "We have a long way to go and a lot of work to do in order to achieve that goal, but it's a long season and we hope to develop throughout the year. We should be a much improved team by the time our region tournament rolls around." So far, the Lady Patriots might be ahead of Suddeth's schedule. The Heritage girls have opened the season with three straight impressive victories, beating Flowery Branch, Athens Academy and Habersham Central by a combined score of 14-2. The Lady Patriots will feature an experienced lineup this spring, including seniors Megan Drish, Whitney Adkins, Meredith Wilson and Brittany Stickney. Drish was a first-team selection on the Citizen's 2007 All-Area Girls Soccer Team, leading Heritage in scoring with nine goals and 13 assists. Suddeth also can count on the experience of junior Constance Bates and sophomores Melissa Drish, Janet VanHeest and Brittany Gray. Heritage lost only two starters off last year's squads - midfielders Lauren Cook and Brittany Harrison. "We have a senior class that has demonstrated strong leadership so far," Suddeth said. "We will need this leadership to help guide our younger players and show them the right way to do things. We also have the luxury of some experience, returning eight players that saw plenty of action last season. That experience should pay dividends this season. "I think we also have some speed up top with our forwards. If we can get behind our opponents consistently, we should be able to create some scoring opportunities. Suddeth also is looking for sophomore Nadia Bryan to be a key contributor in the Lady Patriots' attack. Five freshmen - Sydney Smith, Michelle Turner, Shealy Kulp, Michelle Borg and Shea Smith - also will see significant playing time this year. "Early in the season, my main concerns are establishing some team chemistry, being able to play and gel together quickly, and youth, five freshmen and seven sophomores," Suddeth said. "I'm also curious to see how we handle adversity and our ability to maintain a positive attitude. Our success will depend on that inner strength and mental toughness to work the struggles that will be presented during a match." Jeff Gillespie can be reached at firstname.lastname@example.com. SideBar: At a glance Team: Heritage girls soccer Coach: Chad Suddeth, first season Last year: 5-10 overall, 2-3 in Region 8-AAAA South Next match: 5:30 p.m. Friday at Shiloh

ST. REGIS FALLS - The St. Regis Falls and Brushton-Moira Central schools will no longer share a superintendent or a chairman of the committees on special education and preschool special education as of July 1.
It isnt a reflection one bit on our CSE chairperson or our superintendent, SRF board President Mickey Smith said, adding the board was satisfied with both their performances. We think we might be better served with one full-time position.
Mr. Smith said that though he believed both parties were doing an adequate job, he said theyre just sustaining in their positions.
Im very disappointed that it didnt work out,Brushton-Moira school board member Dennis Egan said.
Shared Superintendent Donna Andr� said ending the two shared services positions was first discussed in executive session at the SRF board meeting on April 22. Brushton-Moira board members discussed it at a special meeting Monday, according to Ms. Andr�.
Todd LaPage is the shared chairman of the committees on special education and preschool special education between the schools.
Both will become full-time Brushton-Moira employees.
Ms. Andre, who entered the shared superintendents post after serving as the high school principal for five years at Chateaugay Central School, was hired in December 2012 with a starting base salary of $125,000.
St. Regis Falls has an enrollment of approximately 325 students, and the Brushton-Moira school district has an enrollment of approximately 480 students.
Shared Business Manager Susan Perkins, whose position will remain shared by the two districts, said there St. Regis Falls revenue will be lower due to the loss of revenue without Brushton-Moiras payment of its portion of the salaries.
With those two changes, it meant that St. Regis Falls had to pull an additional $105,000 from fund balance, Ms. Perkins said, noting the finances for the decision were worked into the districts 2014-15 budget.
She noted that BMC board cut two budget line items to cover the increased expenses of having to convert two part-time position to full time.
Currently, Ms. Andr� is shared between the schools on a 50/50 basis.
Mr. LaPage is currently spending 40 percent of his time at SRF.
Ms. Andr� saidshe was shockedwhen she first learned of the SRF boards thoughts on just having one superintendent,.
I was disappointed, Ms. Andr� said, but she noted she was hopeful the SRF board would change their mind in the future.
You cant ever close any of those doors, she said.
Mr. LaPage said he was fine with the decision the board made and that he supported their decision.
Brushton-Moira Central School Board of Education President Marice Bright said she had mixed views on the move.
I feel like were giving up on it way to soon, but on the other hand Im not disappointed because, I feel, we are getting two outstanding administrators, she said.
As for the future budget, Ms. Bright said the board will be looking into different ways to help cut costs.
Were looking very creatively at some additional duties ... to come up with some things they can take on that may be able to cut little bits here and there to make it more cost effective, she said, stressing it would not involve cutting positions.
Mr. Egan noted he was more disappointed in SRFs failure to fully follow the contract for the shared superintendent position.
He said as per the contrac, discussions should have happened between the boards before SRF decided to terminate the shared service. Another part of the contract was to give a six-month notice of terminating the position.
But Mr. Egan noted tthe Brushton-Moira board would not utilize the terms of the contract to delay the decision by St. Regis Falls school officials.
Mr. Smith said Ms. Andr�s last day will be June 30, though a resolution still needs to be passed by both schools.
Mr. Smith said the St. Regis Falls board expects to hire an interim superintendent starting July 1, until they find someone to fill the position.
He noted that the decision was difficult for SRF board members to make.
Its great opportunity for Brushton, because anytime you can add personnel like that, its better for everybody involved and I think it will help us better meet state requirements, said Brushton-Moira High School Principal Steven Grenville said, noting he was also disappointed that the shared positions didnt work out.
St. Regis Falls Principal Marc Czadzeck said having the full-time positions in the building would make the ins and outs of the daily tasks more plausible.
But Mr. Czadzeck noted he didnt agree with the overall decision.
Ms. Andr� was chosen to be the shared superintendent in December 2012, following the resignation of former Shared Superintendent Beverly Ouderkirk.
She started her new duties in February 2013.
Ms. Ouderkirk started the shared position on July 1, 2011, making the schools the first in the state to have a shared superintendent position.
Mr. Smith noted the shared superintendent position was a gateway to other shared services between the schools.
The positives that have come out of this, I want to continue to do those things, Mr. Smith said, adding that he would also like to continue joint board meetings to figure out what things are working and what things we want to continue.

STOCKBRIDGE, Ga. (AP) -- Metro Atlanta drivers are being warned to be on guard for a cow with a history of wandering into traffic on a busy interstate just south of the city.
The cow sometimes grazes in the median of Interstate 675 and shows up from time to time near the highway in Clayton and Henry counties. Henry County police say 911 switchboards light up when the animal comes out of the woods to graze by the freeway.
Police suspect it has been responsible for at least one traffic accident near I-675, so they'd like to find it and catch it.
WSB-TV reports that authorities have named the animal "Kevin the Cow."
Though drivers are amused by the situation, police say they're taking the matter seriously because of the potential danger to motorists.

Like spring blossoms children are magnificent and delicate.They can be broken so easily if not properly cared for.They make our world complete.They hold the promise of new life.They fill our hearts with joy.They are only with us for a short time.They give us hope for the future.
Be inspired to enjoy your children while you nurture their delicate souls.
Together with your youngsters clear out old habits and clutter to make way for the new. Decide to stop criticizing, shouting, rushing, pressurizing, nagging, or shaming your children.
Bring positive energy and thoughts into your life. Apologise to your offspring for the times you have hurt them and promise to be there for them by listening and supporting them. "The best inheritance a person can give to his children is a few minutes of his time each day" O. A. Battista. It is never too late to begin anew.
All our children really need and want are parents who can be present, consciously, connecting with them and giving them unconditional love and attention. "The most lasting honours of all are those which your own family bestows on you." O.A. Battista.

Mintel Report Showcases Growth of Facial Skin Care in the UK
Posted: September 23, 2011
page 2 of 2
Today, just 2% of British women have had cosmetic surgery to improve their appearance, with the majority relying on facial skin care products to assist appearance. Over six in ten (61%) women aged over 65 use products to look better for their age, which underscores the notion that pride in a person's looks is not only the realm of the young. Indeed, it is women aged 55-64 (57%) who are most likely to use skin care with an eye to dealing with wrinkles and fine lines, followed by 55% of women aged over 65. While older women are the most likely to use skin care products to deal with wrinkles and fine lines, a handful (6%) of forward-thinking women aged between 16 and 24 and three in ten (31%) aged 25 to 34 use products with wrinkles in mind.
However, there remains an element of skepticism among the nation's women. Close to six in 10 Brits (57%) believe antiwrinkle creams are overhyped, while almost one in five (17%) agree skin care products are a waste of money and that a woman's looks depend on her genes and lifestyle.

Prague to Wittenberg
Going to Prague in July with some friends, we want to go to Wittenberg for a day trip. Rail will take too long, so we thought about renting a car to drive there. Some of them seem uneasy about renting a car, they brought up the suggestion of a bus trip or a driver. Anyone have any suggestions or information? Thanks!!

Injuries and illnesses resulting in days away from work, 2003
March 31, 2005
Goods-producing industries such as construction and manufacturing made up about 21 percent of private industry employment in 2003 but accounted for 31 percent of the injuries and illnesses requiring days away from work.
This is in contrast to service-providing industries, which made up 79 percent of private industry employment and accounted for 69 percent of the most severe injuries and illnesses.
In the goods-producing sector, contact with objects and equipment—such as being struck by an object—was the most prevalent cause of injuries and illnesses with days away from work. In the service-providing sector, the leading causes were overexertion (especially overexertion by lifting), falls on the same level, and contact with objects and equipment.
These data are from the BLS Injuries, Illnesses, and Fatalities program. Additional information is available from "Lost-Worktime Injuries and Illnesses: Characteristics and Resulting Days Away From Work, 2003" (PDF) (TXT), news release USDL 05-521.
Note on industry classification: Beginning with the 2003 reference year, the Survey of Occupational Injuries and Illnesses began using the 2002 North American Industry Classification System (NAICS). Prior to 2003, the program used the Standard Industrial Classification (SIC) system. The substantial differences between these systems result in breaks in series for industry data. Users are advised against making comparisons between the 2003 industry categories and the results from previous years.
Bureau of Labor Statistics, U.S. Department of Labor, The Economics Daily, Injuries and illnesses resulting in days away from work, 2003 on the Internet at http://www.bls.gov/opub/ted/2005/mar/wk4/art04.htm (visited October 10, 2015).

A shed fire threatens home and neighboring property
Web Producer: Taylor Avey
TUCSON (KGUN9-TV) - Firefighters battled an early morning fire that caused damage to a neighboring property.
Tucson firefighters responded to multiple calls about smoke and flames coming from behind a neighborhood home near Dodge Blvd. and Flower Street around 4:15 a.m. Saturday, according to Capt. Barrett Baker with the Tucson Fire Department.
After arriving on scene, firefighters discovered that a shed was fully engulfed in flames and was spreading to an Arizona room on the same property and a neighboring shed to the east.
Crews were able to quickly douse the flames of the fully involved shed and keep the other structures from suffering too much fire damage.
Additional firefighters entered the home and learned that no one was inside the home at the time of the shed fire.
According to Capt. Baker, over half of residential fire deaths occur in fires that start between 11:00 p.m. and 7:00 a.m.
Baker says it is beneficial to have working smoke alarms within the home and a defensible space between the home and backyard structures such as sheds and work shops.
