The elephant head has character and elegant it is a piece of art for those who love elephants as I do. I love it
I love how the elephant looks exactly like the picture in person. Beautifully crafted, shows well. Many compliments !!! I am very picky so this is a big yes!!!
LIKE that it was the size and item I had been searching for. It was a little bit sloppy in the making of it, but since I didn't like it's antique coloring, I painted it gray and hand painted the eyes and tougue. I am getting compliments already and it helped to prevent the work of creating one from scratch on my own.
Absolutely gorgeous. Very detailed.

Interest rates are on the rise, and that means the 25 percent of homeowners who hold adjustable-rate mortgages are beginning to feel the pinch. Gerri Willis at CNNMoney has some advice to help these folks guard against higher rates. She recommends that homeowners:
- Know the stakes. The increased rates can make hundreds of dollars of difference in your monthly payment, all of which goes to interest.
- Buy some time. Though it will cost now, you will likely save in the long-run by refinancing with your current lender. Call to see which options are available to you.
- Re-evaluate your home equity line of credit. Pay off your HELOC if possible (but beware prepayment penalties). Otherwise, consider refinancing it into a new loan with your mortgage.
- Don't consolidate. Though it's tempting, it's probably cheaper not to consolidate your other debts into your mortgage. A mortgage stretches out your payments so that you may actually pay more in the long run.
- Forget the fees. Get rid of private mortgage insurance, if you can. Check to be certain you're not paying other unnecessary fees.

The Lakewood Tigers clearly are willing to help in any way they can.
The Tigers were supposed to play their homecoming game against Fairview High School at 4 p.m. Friday. Instead, Lakewood has agreed to push the game back to noon Saturday to give Fairview an extra day to prepare.
Boulder-based Fairview was highly affected by the vast flooding in Colorado. According to Knight's athletic director Frank Lee, 79 kids remain displaced, and many more were affected in some fashion by the water. The school was closed for nearly a week. Students didn't return until Wednesday, meaning the football team has had very limited practice time leading in to the game with Lakewood.
It's important to point out that Lakewood did not have to push back the game. They could have taken advantage of the fact that Fairview had limited time to prepare.
"Some people are losing their homes and possessions. Delaying a football game one day is not that big a deal," Lakewood head coach Mark Robinson told 9NEWS.
Lakewood's booster parents have also decided to pass around collection buckets during the game. All money donated will be given directly to Fairview High School to help their students and staff affected by the floods.

Russell Brand Confirms He's Engaged to Katy Perry
Russell Brand has confirmed UsMagazine.com's exclusive report that he and singer Katy Perry are engaged.
Brand, 34, is quoted in Wednesday's editions of the Britain Sun as texting, "It's true. Much love."
Her rep also confirms the engagement to Us.
Look back at Katy Perry's crazy style
Perry, 25, also has suggested that she will be walking down the aisle.
Early Wednesday morning, she referenced an Alanis Morrisette lyric to "Thank U" on her Twitter page: "So when do I start walking the streets naked singing that Alanis song?" The "Thank U" video features Morrisette walking naked in India, where UsMagazine.com first reported Tuesday that Perry and Brand -- who've been dating since September -- got engaged.
See Katy Perry and 2009's other best dressed stars!
See also gushed about Brand in February's Glamour: "When he was filming [the upcoming comedy] Get Him to the Greek, I did a cameo with him. My scene called for me to make out with him. And on the way down the stairs after the scene, I was hopping like a bunny. I hop like a bunny when I'm happy - I get a bit childlike."
Can you guess which crazy nail art belongs to Katy Perry?
An insider tells Us that Brand popped the question with a ring, and Perry happily accepted.
The exotic trip, a Perry insider tells Us, "was his Christmas gift. She told him how much she loved Indian culture while they were eating curry in England, so he surprised her."

It often depends on the observer. Behavior that seems excessive to one person may not seem excessive to another. But certain children, when compared to others, are clearly far more active. This can become a problem if it interferes with school work or making friends.Hyperactivity is often considered more of a problem for schools and parents than it is for the child. But many hyperactive children are unhappy or even depressed. Hyperactive behavior may make a child a target for bullying, or make it harder to connect with other children. Schoolwork may be more difficult. Kids who are hyperactive are frequently punished for their behavior.Excessive movement (hyperkinetic behavior) often decreases as the child grows older.

Welcome to the Teresa Berg Photography blog! It's a very special thing to be invited in to someone's life to preserve their memories. My goal is that together we capture some unforgettable moments that become beautiful pieces of your family's story.
In today's digital world I feel that it's important that the books, prints and wall portraits that I create are designed to last a lifetime. And I hope they bring you joy each and every day.
As a baby photographer, I am routinely consulted on a number of different logistical issues involved with planning a newborn photography session. I always laugh because chatting with new parents I notice that they are often shocked when they realize that all of a sudden it's much more difficult to schedule and manage their daily activities. It's like they didn't know it was coming! So I came up with a list of FAQs that might help when you're talking to a baby photographer or a family photographer about scheduling a photo session.1. What is the ideal age for a newborn portrait session? I always say 7-10 days, but DEFINITELY before 14 days. Our studio is calm and quiet and we can easily photograph your baby at 4 or 5 days if that works better for you --but 7 days seems to work great for everyone.2. How far in advance do I book a newborn photo session? For baby and family photographers there are certain times of the year are much busier. The fall, for example, is pretty crazy for most Dallas family photographers because the weather is finally cooler and outdoor family portrait sessions are usually scheduled in the fall. So if your baby is due in the last quarter of the year, please book your newborn session as far in advance as possible. Two months? Even three months is not a problem. Other times of the year we can usually accommodate new ...
It's time to announce the annual Belly + Baby Special for 2012. This year we're combining it with a gorgeous new product -- the acrylic block print. If you sign up for the Belly + Baby special package (a two session package which includes a full maternity photography session and full newborn portrait session for $350) we'll also give you an 8x10 acrylic block print! Stop by the studio to meet us and view samples -- you won't be able to resist your favorite baby portrait done in acrylic. Each print comes with it's own matching stand so there's absolutely nothing else to buy, just unwrap it and prepare to dazzle your friends.To qualify you must sign up and pay for the Belly + Baby package ($350) during the month of July, 2012 and use both sessions before the end of the year. Babies must be photographed before they are 15 days old. That's it!
We periodically send out a little email newsletter with our favorite "Smile" of the month, or with pets, our favorite "Dog" of the month. This time I'm sure you can see why we only had to send out ONE email, not two. These two were adorable together! Parents often ask when is the best time to photograph babies and pets together and we usually opt for 6-7 months. For one thing, at this age babies can sit up and are really happy --and both the dog and the baby have had a chance to form that amazing bond that is so fun to watch.If you have a special dog that has 'made room' for the new baby, why not schedule a session for the two of them? Your child will always have these photographs to hold on to, long after his best friend is gone.
Welcome to the new blog --and thank you for your interest. The latest What to Wear guide just arrived and since we get lots of questions about how to dress for portrait sessions, we publish these monthly. Family portraits can be stressful enough without a little inspiration, right?

Order of Business.
Wednesday, 10 May 1995
Dáil Éireann Debate
The Tánaiste: It is proposed to take Nos. 4, 5, 6, 11, 12 and 1. It is also proposed, notwithstanding anything in Standing Orders, that: (1) Nos. 4, 5 and 6 shall be moved together and decided without debate by one question which shall be put from the Chair; and (2) Private Members' Business shall be No. 24 and the proceedings thereon shall be brought to a conclusion at 8.30 p.m. tonight.
An Ceann Comhairle: Is it satisfactory and agreed that Nos. 4, 5 and 6 shall be taken together and decided without debate? Agreed. Is it satisfactory and agreed that Private Members' [1210] Business shall be No. 24 and the proceedings thereon should be brought to a conclusion at 8.30 p.m. this evening? Agreed.
Mr. B. Ahern: I apologise for the absence of Deputy Michael Ahern. He is attending the debate on the Finance Bill and is one of our few efficient chartered accountants who we need to attend it. We should not let this day pass without acknowledging the significance of the talks that will commence today between Sinn Féin and British Government Ministers after 23 years. They are the culmination of what we achieved last August, about which the Tánaiste and the former Taoiseach, Deputy Reynolds, can feel satisfied. I hope the talks will go from strength to strength and I wish the process well. Will the Tánaiste give the House some information on what progress has been made during the past two weeks since the Taoiseach told us that under strand II he would make direct contact and issue invitations to the parties in the North? Has that happened and what are the Tanaiste's views on that?
An Ceann Comhairle: I hesitate to interrupt the leader of the main Opposition party in this House, but there are certain matters of importance one hesitates to rule upon. The Chair has an obligation to see to it that matters referred to at this time are in strict accord with the Order of Business. Despite my best endeavour I cannot relate the matters referred to by Deputy Ahern to the formal Order of Business in this House.
Mr. S. Brennan: It is an historic day.
An Ceann Comhairle: It may well be, but there are many ways of raising matters in this House and I would much prefer if they were raised in a more formal manner than by what seems to me to be an abuse of the Order of Business.
Mr. Andrews: There should be some flexibility.
[1211]Mr. B. Ahern: If we are to follow the formal path on this issue — it may be four weeks before questions to the Minister for Foreign Affairs will next be taken during Question Time — we will be continually out of date regarding information.
The Irish School of Ecumenics is also involved in the peace process. Will the Tánaiste pay particular attention to the difficulties in this regard? The whole idea is to deal with peace and the role of a third level institution in dealing with peace matters. If the Tánaiste cannot answer that question, perhaps he would pay attention to those difficulties.
An Ceann Comhairle: I appeal to Members rising at this time to try to even remotely relate these matters to the Order of Business.
The Tánaiste: Regarding the meeting taking place today in Belfast, it is an important day and we on the Government side as, I am sure, all Deputies in the House wish the Sinn Féin representatives and the British Government well in the discussions. We have all been waiting for them to take place. They are of great importance to the peace process and we want to move on from there. In Government we also want to move on to inclusive negotiations and discussions between all parties and we will do everything we can to assist that.
Mrs. O'Rourke: Will the Tánaiste ensure there is direct intervention to sort out the current industrial shambles in Packard? The situation there is serious.
An Ceann Comhairle: I am sure the Deputy will find a more appropriate way of raising that matter in the House.
Mr. E. O'Keeffe: Deputy Rabbitte might intervene.
Mrs. O'Rourke: I note that none of the three Ministers responsible is in the House.
[1212]Miss Harney: I too wish the participants in today's talks well. They are of historic and symbolic importance but no more than that. The real talks that will sort out the political difficulties in Northern Ireland will be between mainstream Unionists and Nationalists and I hope that we can move on to those talks as quickly as possible.
In relation to the third banking force, as the Minister for Enterprise and Employment has invited tenders, among others, from the private sector banks, for the new loans subsidy scheme for small business, will the Tánaiste say whether the Government will go ahead with its proposals for a third banking sector?
An Ceann Comhairle: Can this be related to promised legislation?
The Tánaiste: The Minister for Finance hopes to bring forward proposals in relation to a third banking force within a very short period.
Mr. Deasy: When will the legislation promised to suspend the Southern Fisheries Board be introduced?
An Ceann Comhairle: Is legislation promised in this area?
The Tánaiste: The Minister for the Marine and Defence, Deputy Coveney, hopes to introduce legislation in this area very shortly.
Mr. Sargent: I am surprised that, as yet, there has been no announcement of the Waste Bill bearing in mind press reports to the effect that this would be the week in which something substantial might be announced. Is that the case?
An Ceann Comhairle: Is this promised legislation?
The Tánaiste: The preparation of the Waste Bill is at an advanced stage. It is hoped to introduce it very shortly.
[1213]Mr. S. Brennan: Will the Tánaiste say when the Telecom Éireann regulator Bill be introduced? Furthermore, will he reverse the Government decision to suppress a report dealing with the possible sale of 40 per cent of Telecom Éireann? Will he bring that report to the attention of Democratic Left who I believe will find it most interesting if they have not already seen it?
The Tánaiste: The legislation referred to by Deputy Brennan is at an early stage of preparation.
Mr. S. Brennan: Will the Tánaiste tell Democratic Left about it?
Mr. D. Ahern: In regard to A Government of Renewal, in view of newspaper reports of yesterday's Cabinet discussions on possible action with regard to Sellafield, will the Tánaiste say whether the Government has yet taken a decision in that regard?
An Ceann Comhairle: Can this be related to promised legislation?
Mr. D. Ahern: Action was promised in A Government of Renewal. I am entitled to ask a question on that programme.
An Ceann Comhairle: I have sought clarification of the matter, I have had none. Doubtless the Deputy will find a way of raising it formally.
Mr. Davern: Will the Tánaiste state the position in regard to the proposed legislation on divorce? Is he in a position to contradict comments made on "Morning Ireland" and in today's newspapers, or does he agree with the description of "revolting Fine Gael TDs"?
The Tánaiste: I do not find any of my colleagues in this House revolting. The Government intends to hold a referendum next autumn. The relevant proposals will be introduced in this House in due course.
[1214]Mr. Flanagan: That is a bit rich coming from a member of the Fianna Fáil Party, which has irretrievably broken down.
Mr. R. Burke: Deputy Flanagan should talk to Mary.
Ms O'Donnell: I appear to be unfortunate in that each time I attempt to rise there is a row. In regard to legislation promised recently by the Taoiseach to amend the law on insanity and criminal responsibility — on foot of the controversy about the Gallagher case — will the Tánaiste inform the House of the present stage of that legislation and when we may expect to have it introduced?
The Tánaiste: I am reliably informed that it is at an advanced stage of preparation.
Mr. O'Dea: In view of the fact that the Supreme Court will take a decision on Friday next on the constitutionality of the abortion information Bill, will the Tánaiste say whether the Government has any contingency plans in the event of that Bill being struck down, or will we be back to square one?
Mr. E. O'Keeffe: In regard to promised legislation on a third banking force, may I ask the Tánaiste whether the Trustee Savings Bank will be included and, if so, what guarantees will be given to its employees? Is he aware that its employees are totally opposed to becoming involved in any third banking force — theirs being a niche bank — the maintenance of which is very important to our economy overall?
Mr. Sheehan: Perhaps Deputy Ned O'Keeffe will introduce one.
Mr. Molloy: Will the Tánaiste inform the House why the Arterial Drainage [1215] (Amendment) Bill has not been published despite having been promised here some nine weeks ago?
The Tánaiste: That Bill was cleared by the Government yesterday and should be published very shortly.

ALBANY, Ga. -- Rocked by revelations of inappropriate scholarship awards from U.S. Rep. Sanford Bishop's office to family members. The National Republican Congressional Committee is now questioning seven additional Congressional Black Caucus Foundation awards from Bishop.
Each year, the CBC Foundation provides CBC members with $10,000 a year to be awarded in scholarships to deserving students. In 2008, the CBC amended its rules to prevent the money from going to members' relatives.
On Monday, Bishop said he had repaid the foundation $6,350 for the four original scholarships -- awarded to a niece and his stepdaughter -- that had come to light. The seven new allegations from the NRCC deal with scholarships awarded to people with possible ties to the congressman.
The four original scholarships and the seven that are now being questioned were doled out from 2003 to 2007 and all were awarded prior to the CBC Foundation's rules change. Four of the scholarships in question involve Bishop's wife, Vivian.
According to the NRCC, the seven questionable scholarships center around:
* Jonathan Alston - a former employee of Bishop's office who has presumably never lived in or attended college in Bishop's district - in clear violation of scholarship rules;
* Tiffany N. Tisdale - the niece of Bishop's Field Representative Elaine Gillespie;
* Robin Foster - the niece of Bishop's $8,000 donor, Calvin Smyre;
* Bonica T. Smith - the daughter of one of Bishop's wife's employees;
* Lemeka S. Jacobs - the daughter of one of Bishop's wife's employees;
* Aubrey Smith - the nephew of one of Bishop's wife's employees;
* Kelli J. Blair - the daughter of one of Bishop's wife's employees.
"The CBC has reviewed those (additional) scholarships and found they were all legitimate," Bishop campaign spokesman Tim Turner said. "In fact, they told us the scholarships were legitimate before and after the CBC Foundation amended its scholarship restrictions."
The Keown campaign quickly fired back.
"For Bishop to say he didn't do anything wrong and try to brush this off is like the time I ate my Mom's chocolate and denied doing it. The thing is, I had it all over my mouth," O'Shea said."It is crystal clear that Bishop funneled money to his family and friends through scholarships and earmarks. This kind of abuse leaves him unfit to hold public office."

Still it offers so many benefits, that I'll try to implement it again. Another approach could be to store _path to stopword list_ in MYI/frm file well, frm file has to store only the path anyway. yep, and MYI file needs to store the path too - for REPAIR/myisamchk to work :(

My question is could all of this been prevented and my baby been alive? Why now after baby died am I having all this bloodwork done? I keep thinking in my head what I could've done differently and baby would of been alive. I cant seem to get it out of my head that if I would've gone to hospital earlier, maybe my little angel would be alive today
I'm so confused and shattered by thisView Thread
Of course my best friend is a man who has been doing everything in his power to help me. Unfortunately plying me with food won't fill this hollowness. At this point I can barely eat anyways.
I guess I'm using this as a way to get everything I can't tell them off my chest.
I feel smothered. I feel hollow and guilty and like I have to put on a brave face for everyone. I can' cry unless I am completely alone (which is very very rare), I can't sleep, I can barely eat, I feel like I want to be surrounded and cuddled but at the same time I want to be left alone. I'm confused and sore and scared.. And most of all I just want someone who has a clue as to how I feel to help me through this.View Thread
My bleeding from MC stopped about 2 weeks ago.
I had a natural miscarriage, it took a month to actually be finished. It was the longest month I have ever experienced. May 25/12 the ultrasound read baby was 8weeks and I was supposed to be 9 weeks. It was the worst news being my first pregnancy, I was devistated.
It was two weeks (June6) later the MC actually happened, it was incomplete then three days later I had to go to emerg because thats when it was finishing. I was there for 13hrs, 2 IV bags and heart rate monitored. They thought I needed to have a D&C but by the time they prepped me for surgery everything came out, so I didn't end up having one. It was such a horrible experience but I am so thankful for having such a wonderful fiancee who was with me through all of this. He is such a strong and supportive man I don't know what I would have done if I had to do this alone.
I was finally feeling back to my normal self a couple days ago, then AF started yesterday and today I am so emotional, its been such a long and painful process, I hope this just gets better with time.View Thread

I am 35, divorced for 10 years and used a donor to have a child on my own. I have a D&C scheduled for Thursday. I am devastated and have never felt agony like this...I don't know where to go from here.View Thread
I've decided to take the day off from work, on my due date. I think I will be too distracted to get any work done and will probably be crying most of the day. I would like ideas on how to spend that day with my husband, to memorialize our baby. Please let me know if you have any suggestions.View Thread
I am just wondering if there is anyone else out there who waited to let it happen naturally and had to wait a long time? My doctor says he is now officially impressed with me for hanging in there this long. Most women reach the point where they can't take it any longer and decide to use the medicine or have a D&C by now. This experience is emotionally trying to say the least. There is no closure. I don't understand why my body isn't letting go.View Thread
Any thoughts about how you coped with this (or just your story) would be appreciated. ThanksView Thread
I miscarried 1/13/12 and I was fine for a while but I have been overcome by a depression. All I can think about is a baby, I ca't stop myself from reading articles and making plans and trying to figure everything out.
Today I should get a visit from AF but it hasn't come yet. Today I had a BFN and found out that my friend Joey is 11 weeks 6 days along with her second baby (her first is like 9 months old) and that my boyfriend's brother is going to be a dad again (his third, his girlfriend's second).
I can't stop crying and I don't think boyfriend understands because he hasn't said a word to me since I started crying.View Thread
Do these feelings of sadness and emptiness ever go away? Everytime I think I am ok I jut out of nowhere get really emotional when I think about it. I don't feel ready to face people at work yet and I have to work tomorrow. Just wondering if this will eventually et any better???
I'm going to go get myself a pandora charm "close to my heart" so that I will always have something to remember. I hope that helps but do far nothing seems to help.View Thread
I was pregnant with my 3rd and was supposed to be 9 weeks yesterday. I went in for my check and they couldn't hear the HB and they couldn't see much on their portable U/S machine except for a sac so they sent me to get a transvaginal U/S. They said the fetus was only measuring 5 1/2 weeks with a faint HB of only 49 BPM. So my doctor said there are two possibilies.
1 that my dates are off and I really am only 5 1/2 weeks
2 it's the start of a fetal demise
I have another U/S scheduled in 5 days (Thursday), insurance won't pay for me ot have another any sooner. I don't have any cramping, I spotted some very light brown blook only once on Thursday and only once yesterday and so far nothing today. I had some normal period type cramping yesterday but not much today. I know for a fact my dates are 100% correct. My last period was 12/28 and I'm VERY regular and we conveived on 1/14. So I know it's the start of a fetal demise, it has to be becuase the date thing just MAKES NO SENSE.
Anyone ever been thru this? I can't wait having to wait in this state of mine for another 5 days. I just want things over and done with and have a D&C and get back to normal becuase this is torturing me. The most awful feeling ever =(View Thread
This is our second miscarriage last one was in September. The doctor said he doesn't know what went wrong the baby seemed so healthy my hormones were great . I was on Endometrin for extra progesterin so my body still thinks im pregnant. He told me I have to have a D&C and I'm so scared. Does anyone know if it hurts?
I don't think I've ever hurt so much in my life and whats worse the ultrasound tech had the image on the screen. She wasnt just an egg she was a little person. I saw her little fingers and toes. The fact that she is still there inside me is killing me. I feel like I did something wrong like I should have known something was wrong or maybe there was something I could have done to save herView Thread

There are so many crappy drifting videos on YouTube. This is not one of them. There are also tons of over hyped, overproduced "viral videos" on YouTube. This is not one of those either.

Formerly known as Moroso Raceway, the high speed capability of PBIR's road course did present a problem, however - the course layout led a lot of high speed drifting right into the fans laps. Since this was the very first time that the Formula Drift series would be running at Palm Beach, they certainly didn't expect these types of results from their initial course layout! However, since Formula D is a responsible professional organization, they decided to reverse the course layout mid day in the interest of driver safety. Read more...

WEBMINING> American Missile Crisis!
This video of Ryan Tuerck and Tony Angelo, recently posted on Joshua Herron's Vimeo account, is the kind of thing that really gets me goin'. Purpose built drift machines doing what they were made to do. As Tony previously stated on Ziptied, there were many problems involved in getting his newly acquired FC3S home from Florida. Therefore, this amazing video was made with the help of Ryan's brother's S13.
Here is Josh's description of his experience:
"On October 22nd, 2010, I traveled to Engilshtown Raceway to film a "missile day" with Tony Angelo and Ryan Tuerck.
Ryan and I arrived at the track while Tony was having a battle with his own car. After picking up an FC in Florida, Tony made the trek up to NJ, blowing up 2 turbos in the process.
Once at the track and two laps in, Tony destroyed a third turbo leaving him without a missile for the day. Thankfully, Ryan's brother Justin lent Tony his car for only 30 minutes, giving us enough time to shoot this video.
Ryan's car, on the other hand, had it's own problems throughout the day (missing key = hot-wiring the ignition, e-brake failure, front and rear main seals leaking *12 quarts of oil were used in the course of three hours at the track*)
Enjoy it, because we sure didn't."
Tony said, "This video cost me 8 grand!"
Thanks for the fun video, guys!

Just like the gypsy camps in the days of old, this year's Las Vegas round of Formula Drift brought thieves out of the woodwork. I was really surprised to find out that former Formula D judge (and current Tanaka Racing Corvette driver) Alex Pfeiffer's helmet was stolen. I suppose someone was a fan of Alex's Hawaiian print helmet, which had the traditional Hawaiian plumeria flowers painted on one side. The only question I have about that is... Okay, thieves. Now that you have Alex's helmet, what the hell are you going to do with it? Read more...
VIDEO> Formula Drift Seattle by Justin Shreeve
Last weekend's Formula Drift Seattle event at Evergreen Speedway in Monroe, Washington was unforgettable. Tons of familiar faces and unusually warm weather made for the best FD experience I've ever had. Since I've been shooting at this location so much lately, I was able to take my time and really enjoy the event, rather than scrambling to get shots.
Last weekend also marked a milestone for me, as it had been one year since shooting my first FD event with a media pass. FD Seattle '09 was also when I met quite a few friends in the industry, such as Antonio Alvendia, Larry Chen, Drew Fishbein, Ross Fairfield, Will Roegge, and Josh Herron, among many others. Last year around this time, I knew next to no one and now I can comfortably say I feel at home in the professional and grassroots drifting communities.
With this video, I chose to take a much lighter approach than last year as a representation of the comfort and relaxation I now feel among my fellow videographers, photographers, and drivers who congregate for these great events.
This year, I also met a guy named Jason from ContourHD/VHoldr, who was nice enough to let me test out a couple of his HD 1080p wearable/mountable POV cameras for some of the shots!
I would also like to take this opportunity to thank everyone who has supported me along the way, especially the MotorMavens Crew, Formula Drift, Evergreen Drift, and KP Race. Without all the love, it just wouldn't be worth it.
Thank you.

WEBMINING> Tuerck in Atlanta
I was checking one of my favorite blogs, Risky Devil, and saw this cool edit by my buddy Tim Tulov of T2 Films. This video has a great vibe to it. The soundtrack is very laid back and well-suited to the edits. I really like the selective desaturation. That is something you don't see a lot of in drift videos. This video is a nice change of pace with some killer driving from Ryan Tuerck as takes home the win in Atlanta.
What do you guys think?

To the Editor:
I write this on Tuesday, May 20; the day of the Massena Central School budget vote and school board elections. I am extremely disappointed in the complete lack of newspaper coverage of our contested school board seats in Massena by the Daily Courier-Observer. I cant speak for my fellow candidates, but at least North Country This Week reached out and did a short interview with me weeks ago. I hope they gave the other candidates equal treatment.
Typically, the local papers would interview each candidate for any elective office (contested or not) prior to the election. That way, voters have some idea whether they agree or disagree with the candidates views. There were two positions on the board of education available and four candidates for those seats. It is unconscionable that any newspaper purporting to cover local news and issues would completely ignore a contested school board election!
I have always felt that the Courier-Observer has done a good job covering local issues including those involving Massena Central School. There may not be any big controversies or discord surrounding the schools now, but in my opinion, the DCO has really dropped the ball and done the public a disservice.

|The Alaska Tours Gold Rush is On! Take an Alaskan Gold Tour!
When visiting Alaska try a flightseeing trip to Mt. McKinley or a Boat Tour of Prince William Sound. You will also want to visit the quaint town of Talkeetna which is the gateway to Denali National Park.
Alaska, the last frontier and also the destination for diehard gold diggers worldwide. Throughout it's history, Alaska has been a rich destination for gold diggers and gold miners.
With the latest mismanagement of our money by the government, gold prices have soared, absolutely skyrocketed!
Before, one might think of panning for gold as just a fun family thing to try out one day for fun.
But that was when gold was only $50 per ounce.
Gold is not soaring up to $1600 an ounce. Now panning for gold not only makes sense, it makes really good sense.
If you are lucky you can pan and find an ounce of gold in just a few days.
The new Gold rush is on! Imagine turning over a heavy rock and finding a nugget that weighs one ounce or more?
People are coming to Alaska again just for the purposes of searching for treasure and finding gold.
Why not spend a few weeks or even a full Alaskan summer in the wonderful wild beauty of Alaska and try your luck panning for gold?
It's not hard to learn and the rewards can be great.
With the blowout success of the Discovery Channel's Gold Rush Alaska that features a group of good ole boys from the United States who pushed all-in to go mine for gold, the interest in Alaskan gold is almost at a fevered pitch. The show shows the struggle and hard times of gold digging in Alaska but it is very exciting at the end of the day when the team finally runs their days refined gold dirt through their wash plant contraption to shake out the gold particles. When you see the flakes slowly reveal themselves from the dirt you can easily see the riches appearing.
If you are a lodge or motel owner in the outback bush of Alaska this domain makes a perfect buy for your business to reach the goldmine of vacationers heading to Alaska for gold tourism. Establish a training procedure and take your guests out to a remote river to let them pan for gold. To buy this domain, use the link below.

Special agents with the Israeli Security Agency (ISA), or Shin Bet, arrested 14 suspects allegedly involved in planning and perpetrating a bomb attack on a passenger bus in the Tel Aviv metropolitan area, according to the Israeli media on Thursday.
Thirteen of the suspects are believed to be members and associates of the terrorist group Palestinian Islamic Jihad, a Shiite group affiliated with Iran, and one Israeli-Bedouin who is suspected of providing the bombers entry into central Israel and acting as their getaway driver, according to reports.
The court's gag order over the Shin Bet investigation was lifted and details from the court proceedings were revealed on Thursday.
The bomb was detected before exploding by an Israeli passenger on the bus on Dec. 22, 2013. As a result of that alert passenger, there were no deaths or injuries.
The secretive Shin Bet, along with special operations soldiers from Israeli Defense Forces, carried out several raids in the Palestinian-controlled West Bank following the attack and arrested several suspects, mostly in and around the town of Bethlehem, which was witnessing an influx of Christian pilgrims visiting the site of the birth of Jesus Christ during the Christmas holiday.
According to the ISA, two major terrorism suspects were jailed in Israel in the past: 24-year-old Shahada Ta' amri and his 21-year-old brother brother Hamdi Ta' amri , who was a police cadet in at the Palestinian Police Academy in Jericho.
The brothers are suspected of building the improvised explosive device (IED) with explosives, bolts, nails and an operating system that utilized a cell phone to detonate the IED from a remote area as described in several Examiner news stories.
According to the Shin Bet, the suspects confessed to planning the attack for several months and for planning a future terrorist bombing against the Israeli people.

This is a question that goes to the very essence of you as a writer, maybe as a person. It's a simple question with an often-hard answer. What is writing to you? Why do you write and for what purpose?
This is a question that goes to the very essence of you as a writer, maybe as a person. It's a simple question with an often-hard answer. What is writing to you? Why do you write and for what purpose?
Well, that was embarrassing...
For me, writing is many things. It is a way of release, to be sure, but that's a small part. I get a certain thrill from creating anything, and when I write, I can create whatever I wish. I am omnipotent as far as my stories are concerned. I can recreate worlds from the ground up, picking and choosing what facets of the real one are included. Then there's the characters. It is a great pleasure when I begin to truly care about my characters, when they begin to become real people and not just figments of my imagination. I've always had a very active imagination, and writing helps me exercise it.

What is writing to me? I've already thought about this one, long before I even joined this site. For me, writing is a chance to share the stories of my friends. I have long found that my characters are each special to me, much like real people. I would day dream of so many, and each one came from a day dream. I can never sit down and design a character, instead I zone out and something is pieced together. Something unpredictable, which makes him or her alive to me. Some of them fade away, but others stay with me and I feel the need to tell the world what they went through. I am not a creator of anything, I am merely a story teller telling what they have shown me.
As for why? I thought about this one so much after doing a few chapters of Chaos Theory. At first I thought it was just to write. It was such a simple concept that I never questioned it, but then I noticed that I felt glum looking at the low views and immediately jumped to the conclusion that I wanted attention, that I wanted people to look at my writing and say that I was awesome. I was actually sickened by this thought and became slightly depressed. Then I saw a few reviews and realized why I wrote. I didn't care whether they said I was a good writer or not, but if they enjoyed the story. If they liked it, even if they said they'd seen better, then I was happy. The reviews that filled me with the most joy, though, were the ones speaking about my characters. I clearly see why I write now, I write not for myself, but for the readers and my characters alike. I want to give the readers something enjoyable, and I want them to meet my characters. To let others know those wonderful people I call my characters, that is why I write.
writing is an art, a hobby, a career, a lifestyle, and a fun and creative way to imagine stories made by your own mind and put them into words on a sheet of paper or typed on a word document. writing is very important to me; without it, i don't think i'd be doing much right now. it gives me a sense of accomplishment, and i'm sure it gives others a sense of accomplishment. it is a powerful force that can make you cry, laugh, get scared, get sickened, as well as many other emotions. it brings fictional characters to life and broadens the minds of people; some books give different views of life to people. i think it is the best creation of man-kind.
--It is a way to let my imagination run free
--It is a way to explore what isn't explained on my favorite shows--or what could it be.
--It is a way to make friends

It's just a hobby, to me. I know there are many who write because they want to pursue it as a profession, but I just consider it a hobby; something to do so I can entertain myself when I'm bored. This is probably why I write many stories, and rarely complete any.
A way to reveal my creative ability, and learn from what I didn't know I already knew.
Writing is my hobby, it is my study, it is my career, it is my life and obsession and love.
Writing is my soul.
It's a hobby for me, but it's also a way for me to let stress out. When I'm feeling bothered about something I usually write it off. It's also a way for me to use my creative overload since I always have new ideas popping inside my head.
Writing is many things. It is a method of expression, it is a form of entertainment, it is a form of communication. I think the most important part about writing is that it can be whatever the author wills it to be.
For me specifically, however, it is a way of expressing my innermost beliefs and thoughts, ones that I dare not share even with my most trusted of friends. It's a way to steadily release that dark, brooding being inside of me, lest it take over my mind completely.
When I first started writing as a serious hobby, it was because I had always enjoyed creating things with my imagination; worlds, charcaters, concepts, religions, languages, cultures, you name it. Writing proved the perfect outlet for those tendendencies; thus I love writing.
But recently I've begun delving into the reasons for why I enjoy creating stuff, which is the basis for why I enjoy writing, and I've found that, in many ways, it's just a way to escape reality. I'm diagnosed with several disorders (intrusive thoughts, bipolar and disocciative disorder), that all serve to make my life rather depressing at times. While I find reality to be the most fantastic place ever, at times I just need to escape it, and my own imagination, and thus writing, is a great way to escape this, to create worlds and charcaters that I can live in when the going gets though in this world, and it works very well.
So for me, writing is treatment, it's therapy, it's what gets me going when the going is tough.
Also, it's a great outlet for me to explore new concepts, foreign ideas, cultures, minds. To constantly broaden my horizons as a human being; to learn, to experience. Curiosity, learning, broadening our horizons... such are the greatest virtues of mankind.
Agreed, Llama_Guy: creation and learning epitomise that which is most good in humanity.
Interesting that you should call it therapy. On reflection, I guess I could say the same. I've suffered chronic major depressive disorder, and possibly other such mental burdens, and writing has always been enormously helpful in coping with and overcome these things. They say that art is often borne out of depression! In fact, if I avoid writing for too long, I suffer an intellectual slump, and what you might call withdrawal symptoms. Better than being addicted to anything else, I suppose~
Writing is also a way for me to escape reality. I have been rather anti-social for pretty much my entire life and am very limited in my abilities to properly interact with the outside world without being frustrated/anxious/disappointed. Writing is my way of living from afar, through people that exist in my head rather than the ones that I can't seem to socialize with in real life.
I am also very passionate about being able to express oneself through words--whether it be through singing, writing, what have you. Writing is my way of doing this. The feelings/thoughts/ideas that you can invoke in someone through mere words alone is simply beautiful.
But yes, it's therapy. Or "therapy", it doesn't cure my problems as much as it offers an escape. But it doesn't hurt my ability to perform daily tasks, rather, it improves on it, so it's not harmful anyway.
And I've very heavily perceived a link between creativity and increased exposure to depressive disorders and tendencies, which is really fascinating. maybe it's cognitive, but there's also the cultural impact; creative people are often different from their peers, and as such often end up on the outside of their school socially, leading to an increased frequency of depression and other psychological issues.
Writing is a way to represent my creative skills. It allows me to open dimensions into different worlds, and explore all kinds of possibilities.

Dell XPS 13 is one of Dell's veteran ultrabooks, but it isn't exactly an old fish yet. While upgraded post-purchase aren't easy to make for such laptops, it isn't too hard for vendors to revise the actual specs.
It so happens that Dell has changed one essential component of the XPS 13: the LCD (liquid crystal display).
Previously, Dell gave customers laptops with a screen of 1366 x 768 pixels (HD resolution).
From now on, buyers will receive Full HD screens instead (1920 x 1080 pixels).
Everything else is the same as before: several Intel CPU options, customizable memory and storage, integrated graphics, Gigabit Ethernet, USB 3.0, and various other ports and plugs.
Dell has yet to give the price of the Full HD ultrabook. The time of arrival is, likewise, still unknown.

This is the third edition of a color atlas of cells and other items found in peripheral blood and body fluids. New to this edition is the spiral-binding -- invaluable for keeping the book open when referring to a picture. The previous edition was published in 2004.
The purpose is to provide a handy bench guide as a quick and readily accessible reference for morphological identification. This book has nicely met the authors' objective.
This book is intended to have a wide appeal to anyone interested in blood or body fluid morphology: medical students, residents and fellows in any medical specialty, practicing clinicians, allied health providers, etc. The main beneficiaries will be clinical laboratory scientists, pathologists and clinical hematologists -- students or practitioners.
My first impression of this book was, "Wow, this is beautiful." It is primarily pictures, the clarity and color reproduction of which are superb. The book is divided into sections starting with normal hematopoiesis, normal maturation, leukemias, myelodysplasias, lymphoma, microorganisms, miscellaneous cells, newborn blood and body fluids. All pictures depict Wright-stained preparations.
Each picture has a short descriptive section highlighting key morphological features and associated disease states. The descriptions are purposely short, as this atlas is intended to be a companion to a textbook (Rodak et al,
There are deficiencies in this hybrid approach, however. For example, there is no depiction of cells in CSFs of neonates -- a morphologically difficult specimen for those not used to seeing neonatal CSF. Similarly, other fluids commonly evaluated in the hematology lab (i.e., semen, pericardial, ascites,
urine) are not included. Regardless, the entities displayed in this atlas cover about 90 percent of what the average bench clinical laboratory scientist will see in the course of a career.
This is a beautiful atlas that will be used every day by the bench clinical laboratory scientist. Get it.
