NetPrintNFP aims to work closely with charities and non-profits to create stunning brochure designs. A brochure layout will consist of stories, project features and calls-to-action. We provide tips, guidance and ideas to make sure your brochure content achieves professional best practice.
So let's make your fundraising brochure a great one…
Put great story writing at the centre of your non-profit brochure
Your brochure, like all your publicity, must have a purpose. The very best charity and non-profit themes capture emotions. That means the immediacy of news or facts are less relevant whereas an issue that can be amplified through great story telling is most effective. And by using irony, humour, human interest, atmospheric and observational details your issue can be literally brought to life in your reader's imagination. Your descriptions of people, places and your programs should be shaped and textured like a piece of art. And the best stories always have a clear beginning, an interesting middle and a conclusive end.
Your ideas and opinions are not important to a story. You must simply be a narrator. Writing in the third person will help you maintain that necessary distance. And avoid prejudging or influencing the outcome of your story at outset. When you have gathered the right information then, a clear direction or viewpoint will start to emerge.
So when researching, write down everything you encounter in your non-profit community. Emotions, passing thoughts or ideas; smells; sounds; textures; poignant details in the surroundings. At some stage they will surely help you 'paint the scene' because a good story is made real for your reader.
Brochure themes
Story themes for non profit organizations are most effective when they have:
HUMAN INTEREST: By using the real-life experiences of your community and the challenges they face everyday, your reader can identify with your non profit on a human scale. Volunteer profiles are always popular, and serve to both acknowledge volunteers, and show newbies a high-performing volunteer in action. Someone they can learn from and emulate.
Your organization's beneficiaries should present a rich seam of material. 'People' stories should have an individual focus. A 'before and after' your non-profit service is an excellent comparison style. Present mental images which put your reader in the exact same situation. How would they feel? Who could they turn to? One life saved by one person achieves that drama. Ten thousand lives saved by hundreds simply doesn't. And in quotes you can use real language in the first person. For example, how evocative is "I live on the street; and it sucks. But The Salvation Army helps me survive every day. I feel good about myself when I'm here."
SEASONAL THEMES: Seasonal stories use either weather conditions or specific holiday dates to support the storyline. For example, a homeless shelter might look at winter survival through the eyes of a homeless woman. How does she cope with overcrowded shelters? Or the toe-biting cold and knotted-stomach hunger on an hour-by-hour basis?
BEHIND THE SCENES: Your aim is to show how your donor's gift is put to work. Focus on the impact of the gift, not that you need the gift! Perhaps look at unusual occupations. Or how service issues are tackled. Or people in uplifting events. In that way can you give readers a feeling of getting into the inner circle. Reveal your "well kept secrets" and you will build the emotional investment your reader has in your non-profit charity.
HOW-TO: How-to feature stories should still centre around an event that showed your organization having an impact on its community. For example, help people learn about an issue by telling them how to do something. Whether it is how to start a recycling program, cook a meal for 100 homeless people, repair a roof for a shelter, or techniques for teaching an adult (John!) Quote "experts" where you can and any other interesting outcomes.
MILESTONES: you can highlight or commemorate important dates in the history of your organization and relate them to your community. Celebrate key milestones that you have achieved or are going to achieve with the donor's help and investment. The 1,000th meal served to John. The 500 victims like Jane you will help next year.
The main thing to keep in mind when writing a brochure is to get to know the people you are writing about. Let yourself be open to new experiences and viewpoints which volunteers, donors and beneficiaries describe. If your sources are comfortable around you then they will be more open and inspired to help you. You are simply trying to help them reveal something special and unexpected. And you will use their story to paint the positive impact your organization makes happen.
Remember NetPrintNFP can be your non-profit's home for all that is local marketing and brand related. Contact us here.
NetPrintNFP's step-by-step guide to producing stunning brochures for non-profits and charities has 8 advice sections:
Step #1: Think & research your story.
Determine the purpose of your brochure and its intended audience. Amongst your objectives must be to communicate the positive impact your organization has on its beneficiaries. should include the Is it advertising an upcoming fundraising event? Is it asking for positive action right now? Does it need a form area? Is it part of a wider awareness campaign? People are so used to having thousands of advertising images thrust at them every day. So much so that 'brochure apathy' is a real risk! Poorly conceived brochures and/or campaigns can be ignored by everyone. So observe how other people are doing it in your area. Can you piggyback on other seasonal events going on? How do other organizations try to reach you at home or as you travel through your town? You will learn a great deal.
Step #2: Establish your creative concept
Good brochure creative catches the eye AND supports the tale. Get yourself and others to brainstorm ideas separately before bringing them together. Depth of thought and inspiration does not generally come from an open forum environment. A refresher on story-telling principles will also help everyone keep their eyes peeled and ears open.
Brochure pictures should be chosen with great care and packed with emotion. They need to support your concept, which means they support your story. Heart-strings must be pulled whenever and wherever you can. Photographs of individuals are proven to the most powerful. And there's nothing wrong with happy (the outcome?) as an emotion as well as sad (the original situation) !
If your non-profit charity has a set of brand guidelines, then the core colour choices for your brochure may already be set. (Remember NetPrintNFP helps any organization deliver this kind of brand control into its community). If not, then tools like our colour wheel can help you combine colours in a complementary way.
Step #3: Brochure formats & sizing
Wherever your fundraising brochure is distributed it has to work hard for you. The glance/scan/read principle applies in all situations. Try out the '3 second test' on friends to see if your brochure cover design is effective. Do they recall its main message?
A4 size is practical and easy to distribute if it needs to be mailed in envelopes or put in post trays/pigeon holes. DL (1/3 A4 x 6 pages) and A5 are convenient formats for marketing flyers. Bespoke sizes (eg, 200 x 200mm square) stand out from the crowd but are likely to be more expensive to produce per copy. NetPrintNFP knows that budget is at the heart of many decisions. But decisions need to be taken for the right reasons. Don't compromise the strength of your message for the sake of a few extra pounds. Moving to a larger format or extra pages may increase overall cost by 20% but give you the freedom to really get your message across. After all, response rates will determine the success of your brochure, not simply production costs. But that is not an invitation to overproduce!
All your marketing material (other than Thank-you's!) need a positive call-to-action, right now. Brochures are no different. Even if mailed with a request letter, the two might get separated some time in the donor's possession.
And consider your distribution channels. Door dropping is suited to sizes A5 and smaller, else the extra weight means more refills per street and a less enthusiastic, less productive volunteer corps! Display points in shops, restaurants or hotels might be available to you – so which size matches the POS holders best?
Step #4: Layout Design 101
The eye journey on any page or spread starts at the upper middle position. It then tracks top left to bottom right. Remember you have less than 3 seconds to draw in the attention of your audience - before they reach for the nearest bin! So if you are using a familiar image let it have centre stage. That may be a well-known person, place or activity. You will need permission from whoever owns the image or use Flickr.com to discover thousands of images under creative commons licensing(?).
Don't be afraid to use space in your brochure design. Space allows focus on the things that really matter. Too much clutter and your reader's eye, and their mind, starts to wander. You must earn the right for them to read on. So on every page keep the "headline glance/sub-head scan/body text read" principle ticking over.
Use tint boxes sparingly. Use them to pull out key messages or to break up a page layout when photos are not available.
It is not easy to read lines and words that are solely in capital letters,
e.g. HEADLINE STYLES vs Headline Styles.
Be careful with logos. Use sparingly. Perhaps once on the front and once on the back will suffice.
Don't put text too close to the edge of the paper or too close to the edges of boxes.
Keep to brand guidelines and use eye-pleasing complementary colours in addition. Check out the NetPrintNFP colour wheel for advice.
If you really must present information and statistics, please use some imagination. Go back to childhood. Pictograms are great. Pie charts are ok with 2 or 3 segments but not much use if more.
Be clear about what you want your reader to do. You defined its purpose in Step#1, so make sure you deliver the 'call-to-action' whatever that might be. Be consistent with your points of contact and offer different channels (phone, email, text etc). The back of the brochure is where people expect to find this information.
Step #5: Font choice & Typography
If your non-profit charity works with brand guidelines (choose NetPrintNFP) then font choice will already be assigned for your brochure design. Else, a good rule of thumb is to use two fonts in your brochure creation, and at most three. Ultra-stylish sans serif fonts are great in headlines. They also offer a more contemporary look and feel. More traditional serif fonts provide an authoritative, professional look. Your body of text narrative however, should be in the 10-12pt size range and will always read best in a serif font.
By using variations in font weight, size, spacing and colour you will have plenty of flexibility for your brochure design.
Step #6: Keep it Simple, Stupid!
'Less is more' is a good principle in any marketing. A well constructed fundraising brochure is no different. A common mistake is to put too much information on any single page of a fundraising brochure.
Get the important message out there in as few dramatic pictures and words as possible. People will read your support information if you've won their attention in their first 3 seconds. Populate your brochure story with rich, descriptive and imaginative words. Bring the positive impact your organization has into the mind of your reader. Does your brochure's story have a logical beginning, middle and end?
Step #7: Preparation & Timing
'Allow yourself enough time' is valuable advice so rarely taken. Aim to start your brochure design 3-4 weeks prior to your date for use. That means your brochure design thinking and research should begin at least 6-7 weeks prior to your marketing activity date. If you have a rolling system for gathering suitable stories you may shave a little time. However, artistic disagreements can hole the best planning. And brochure proofing can sometimes fall short because people suffer from 'checking fatigue'. The length of the project and number of reworks may mean someone proofreads several times. They begin to scan the brochure instead. A good tip is to always have a fresh pair of eyes proof-read your brochure at the latest of stages.
Else you risk something like this happening:
Production itself can be as short as 2-3 days. But allow 5-8 days in your plan. Else you could end up paying higher premiums from some suppliers for very fast turnaround. And remember, it takes time and organization to reach all your distributors and locations.
Step#8: Production & implementation
Make sure you pick your suppliers well when planning your non-profit brochure campaign. Make sure your quote includes all possible costs inc. delivery. NetPrintNFP is transparent about pricing and you can use this information to ensure you know you are getting a good deal, wherever you go. 130gm stock is a minimum advisable for brochure style leaflets. 150-170gm or higher is better for booklet stitched versions.
NetPrintNFP automatically takes care of file type and preparation, making sure
- Your documents have the correct bleed.
- Your colours and pictures are converted from RGB to CMYK.
- Your document achieves the highest quality resolution (up to 300dpi)
- All fonts used are going to print out correctly as your proof
- Your fold lines are in the correct position.
But if you are supplying to a third party make sure you are clear on the exact file format required.
Some printing services only offer fundraising brochures with large set-up fees, which makes the task of ordering the right amount at outset difficult. NetPrintNFP does not. The advent of digital print machines makes small runs (below 250) viable and NetPrintNFP will not charge set-up fees on any reorders. So there is no reason for you to feel constrained by someone who tells you to over order. However, with larger quantities (>500 brochures) an extra 500-1,000 for between £20-£40 extra might well be worth it when set against your own time, inconvenience and ability to respond to requests quickly. Don't over order – just be well informed.
NetPrintNFP offers fundraising and event brochures to interact with donors, sponsored fundraisers, friends, volunteers, employees, benefactors, corporate partners and the general public. We simply help you nurture those people who would have a positive impact on your community and its ambitions.

West Kentucky Community and Technical College is a product of two inspirational institutions, Paducah Community College and West Kentucky Industrial College (later known as West Kentucky Technical College) and is an integral part of the Kentucky Community and Technical College System maintained by the Commonwealth of Kentucky.
WKCTC is governed by a seven-member district board appointed by the governor and derives its support largely from student tuition and fees as well as legislative appropriations.
WKCTC's history dates back to 1909 when one parent institution, West Kentucky Technical College, was established as a teacher training college for African-Americans. Its other parent institution, Paducah Community College, was original called Paducah Junior College when it was formed 1932. The two colleges were consolidated in 2003 and now proudly bear the name West Kentucky Community and Technical College.
See the recent college's timeline.
In 2008 Upward Stride, a history of WKCTC was published by The Donning Company Publishers. The 160-page pictorial history, written by Janett Blythe, Director of Public Relations, contains information about the long and diverse history of a College that is today a vital part of the city of Paducah and the Commonwealth of Kentucky.

Source: Steve Blake, Blazers reach agreement
Blazers summer league scrimmage footage
Steve Blake is coming back home.
The veteran point guard and the Portland Trail Blazers reached an agreement on a two-year deal for the bi-annual with a player option on the second year, league sources informed CSNNW.com.
CSNNW.com reported last week that Portland reached out to the representatives of Blake and mutual interest was established.
Blake, 34, will make his fourth stint with the Trail Blazers and will take over backup point guard duties. The Trail Blazers now have 15 players on their roster and all salaries are guaranteed for next season with the exception of Will Barton whose contract becomes fully guaranteed if not waived by the end of July. He isn't expected to be waived.
[RELATED: Summer league players look fluid]
This addition likely ends the pursuit of free agent Mo Williams, who was the team's leading scorer off the bench. Williams' agent told CSNNW.com with the acquisition of Blake, the chances of Mo returning are slimmer, but not completely shut.
"There is a strong market for Mo and Portland knows that," Mark Bartelstein said. They had to protect themselves by picking up Blake. We still have interest but we're still looking over our options at this time."
The 11-year veteran played last season for the Los Angeles Lakers and Golden State Warriors. He has a career average of 6.9 points, 2.2 rebounds and 4.0 assists. He resides in Portland in the offseason.

Palm Island Real Estate, Miami Beach
Palm Island Homes
Palm Island real estate features some of the most exclusive homes in Miami Beach. Today, Miami is home to an abundance of high-rise condos. But it also has private and luxurious estates, particularly on the several lozenge-shaped, man-made islands in the bay. Palm Island real estate, and Hibiscus Island real estate, consist of some of the finest homes in Miami Beach Florida.
Palm Island Mansion For Sale - Versace Designed
Palm Island Mansion
A gorgeous Mediterannean mansion, with all built-ins, ceilings, and walls designed by Versace is on the market for sale for sale for $17,500,000 USD. New world technology is featured in this Italian Palazzo. The towering home evokes images of majestic estates punctuating the Italian lake districts. This amazing estate is replete with a lavish and opulent design: soaring double-height, hand-painted ceilings and murals; stone columns; stained-glass topped atrium, an elevator, state-of-the art lighting and control systems. 200 linear feet of water frontage, a dock, a gazebo with a fully equipped summer kitchen, an infinity-edge pool and spa, and cascading fountains. Fit for a King and designed for his Queen!
Al Capone House Palm Island Miami Beach Still Pending
UPDATE: Al Capone's House For Sale $8,450,000 USD
Al Capone's house on Miami Beach, located on exclusive Palm Island, is still a pending sale, according to the Southeast Florida Multiple Listing Service. The property was listed for sale in early 2006, for the first time in more than 35 years, and was on the market for 28 months, before it became a pending sale in June 2008. The closing is scheduled to take place within the next few months. The historical home needs total renovation, and if not for city ordinances that prohibit the demolition of buildings of historic value, it would probably be torn down, and replaced with a new structure. The house sits on a large 30,000 square feet lot, with 100 linear feet of frontage on Biscayne Bay's intracoastal waterway, with a view of adjacent Hibiscus Island. The 6,103 square feet house was built in 1922, and is one of the oldest homes on Miami Beach. The asking price for the property was $6,800,000. According to a Miami Herald report, Henry Morrison, who owns the home located at 93 Palm Ave., purchased it in 1971 for $56,000.
Miami Beach Luxury Home on Palm Island Sold On The Cheap
Palm Island Home Sold For $11,950,000
Palm Island in Miami Beach is one of South Florida's finest communities.
Centrally located, it takes only 10 minutes to drive to the Miami International
Airport, and 5 minutes to drive to world renowned South Beach, aka SOBE.
Recently, a luxury home on Palm Island sold for $11,950,000. The property, located at 55 Palm Ave. is situated on a lot measuring 30,000 square feet, with 100 linear feet of water frontage. The restored 8 bedrooms, 9 bathrooms house, is very spacious with more than 12,000 square feet of living space, and boasts 12 feet high cathedral ceilings, and beautiful views of the intercoastal water way. Most noteworthy is that the property was previously purchased in 2003 for $2,900,000 and then again in 2004 for $3,400,000. The 1920's house was subsequently restored with a 10,000 square feet addition, and sold once again -- for a whopping profit. Could prices in Miami be climbing again, or does the new owner know something that the rest of us don't? Is this sale a precursor of a once again active and thriving Miami real estate market? The next 12 months or so should bring some answers.
Miami Beach Real Estate Foreclosure - Scott Storch's House
70 Palm Ave, Miami Beach Florida - Villa Ferrari
Miami Beach real estate foreclosures are happening far too often these days, and Scott Storch' s house on Palm Island, named Villa Ferrari, is next. The Miami Beach mansion, 18,000 square feet of house on a 30,000 square feet lot, located at 70 Palm Ave., will be auctioned off at the Miami Courthouse in downtown Miami this Friday, June 26. Mr Storch, a well known music producer, who has worked with stars such as Beyonce Knowles, Mariah Carey, and Paris Hilton, purchased the Palm Island estate for $10,500,000 in May 2006. As the real estate market began to lose value, and Scott Storch fell on hard times, with a reported drug addiction, his problems began to mount. According to several newspaper articles, the young Mr. Storch is recovering at this time. The house has been in foreclosure for many months, and is no longer what it was when it was built just 5 years ago. It needs some renovation, and, although a number of prospective buyers have viewed the home, there have been no takers to date. The finaljudgement against Mr Storch was in the amount of $8,484,836
Villa Ferrari On Palm Island - Soon In Foreclosure?
The Scott Storch home on Palm Island, otherwise known as Villa Ferrari, is a gorgeous 18,000 square feet home sitting on a 30,000 square feet lot, facing downtown Miami, and is located on one of the best Islands on Miami Beach. Mr. Storch, one of the music business top producers, apparently hasn't had a top 10 hit in nearly 3 years, and finds himself in a very similar predicament as many american home owners, albeit his house costs a little more than the average american can afford. Just over 2 years ago, he paid $10,500,000 for the property, which, at the time was listed for $13,900,000. Today, according to Forbes, the producer is in financial straits with regards to the property. There is presently a mortgage lien on the property in the amount of $10,500,000, as well as liens for unpaid electric and security bills. Furthermore, according to Forbes, there are 2 years worth of unpaid taxes on the property to the tune of approximately $500,000. It seems like the famous music producer may have to pull a rabbit out of the hat to save his home from foreclosure. Best wishes, and good luck to Scott Storch.
Al Capone's House Miami Beach
The infamous gangster Al Capone, once lived in a wonderful Miami Beach home located on Palm Island. The home at 93 Palm Ave. is on the market for sale for the first time in over 35 years. Still in it's original condition, the home which was built in 1922, is in dire need of restoration and is being sold "as-is". This historical house has 6,103 square feet of living space and sits on a 30,000 square foot lot with 100 feet of waterfront. The asking price is $6,800,000. Henry Morrison owns the home, according to the Dade County property records, and according to a report by the Miami Herald, he purchased it in 1971 for $56,000.
Palm Island
Palm Island, in Miami Beach is where a grand home, made for entertaining, is on the market for $19.7 million. The gated property, at around 1.5 acres, is one of the largest in Miami Beach. The property of an unidentified media mogul, this 16,000-square-foot estate has 12 bedrooms, 15 full baths and two half baths. It consists of four structures--the main house, a guest house above the garage, staff quarters and an unusual entertaining pavilion that can accommodate up to 400 guests. The main house has a two-story foyer with a winding staircase accented with hand-forged iron and brass. Floors are made of limestone and crema marfil marble, and there are 12-inch crown moldings throughout. The Moroccan-style doors are 12 feet high, and ceilings rise to 14 feet, accented with crystal chandeliers. The large living room has a coffered ceiling and six sets of French doors that open out to the swimming pool. The dining room can accommodate 16 guests, and the kitchen is equipped to serve far more, with restaurant-style food storage facilities, a butler's pantry and space for two chefs to work simultaneously. Upstairs, the master suite encompasses more than 1,500 square feet and includes two Roman-style Jacuzzi tubs, a wet bar and a balcony overlooking the bay and the pool. A second master suite has a large bathroom with sunken Jacuzzi tub. The entertaining pavilion has a 1,000-square-foot gym, a wet bar and built-in DJ booth. The swimming pool is more than 150 feet long and features a fountain and several fountains. There is dock space for a boat up to 100 feet long, and the property offers views of downtown Miami.
"One of the most notorious mobsters of the 20th century, Al Capone
served more than seven years in prison on tax evasion and Prohibition-laws
charges. After his release in 1939, he did not return to his adopted hometown
of Chicago. Instead, Capone retreated to the Palm
Island estate he had bought more than a decade earlier, living there
with his wife until his death in 1947."

Kodak Easyshare Z1085 IS is an Optical image stabilization 10 megapixel point-and-shoot compact digital camera that features a 5x optical zoom, face detection, an ISO range up to 3200, and HD picture capture. According to Kodak the camera incorporates a professional quality Schneider-Kreuznach Variogon lens which delivers high quality sharpness and remarkable precision. More pixels mean you can crop and enlarge, and still have great image quality images. With the ability to record 720p movies, the Z1085 sounds like it may be the perfect companion to a new high-definition panel TV. However, keep in mind it is still just a compact digital camera with a small sensor.The Z1085 IS looks like a shrunken DSLR, a fitting look for a camera targeting more-advanced users. It feels sturdy in the hand and has an ergonomic hand grip on the left front side, with a rubbery finger inset. On top are the self-timer, flash, and power buttons with a scroll wheel on the right. On the back side, the 2.5-inch LCD is lined with a smattering of controls: a zoom panel; Delete, Info, Menu, Review, and Share buttons; and a four-way navigational pad.
With a 10 megapixel sensor, 5x zoom, and optical image stabilization, the Z1085 sports the basic physical tech that serious shooters are seeking. Scene content is analyzed for luminance, focal distance, subject matter orientation, and color to determine the correct exposure and capture the natural details, accurate flesh tones, and rich colors you see in your composition. Scene light source is detected and adjustments are made to capture bright whites and true, vivid colors under difficult lighting conditions, fluorescent, tungsten, or daylight. However, the camera has an extremely small buffer, so if you take several shots in quick succession you'll find everything slows down dramatically while it processes the incoming data.

|Oracle FAQ
|Your Portal to the Oracle Knowledge Grid
Home -> Community -> Usenet -> comp.databases.theory -> Re: Theoretical Basis for SELECT FOR UPDATE
'SELECT FOR UPDATE' is a tool to implement repeatable reads in
multiversioning databases. Those databases, due to their nature, lack the REAPEATABLE READ isolation level. Besides, in some scenarios, SELECT FOR UPDATE can promote the SNAPSHOT isolation level to the
'true' SERIALIZABE.
Locking databases, such as MS SQL Server, DB2 or Sybase do not need the operator because they implement RR directly.
If TTM does not like it, it's unclear what they suggest instead. The current situation with isolation levels is a practical compromise between the degree of concurrency (and therefore performance) and a possibility of various anomalies (like phantom reads, etc). Theoretically, SERIALIZABLE is the only level needed to ensure correct concurrency, but it's not practical in every case for obvious reasons. Received on Fri Sep 30 2005 - 07:18:17 CDT

Ghost Hunters Recap: The Spirits Of Sylvan Beach Amusement Park
February 27, 2013 08:51 PM by Ryan Haidet
The roller coaster might make you scream, but it's the Sylvan Beach Park's ghosts that will surely send chills down your spine. The TAPS team found themselves at the small amusement park in Sylvan Beach, New York surrounded by carnival-style rides searching for proof of the paranormal in the mid-season finale of Ghost Hunters. It was the perfect location for a spooky investigation. What evidence did they find? Scream inside this article to find out!
Sylvan Beach Park marks the second time TAPS has investigated at an amusement park after previously searching for spirits at Kings Island in Cincinnati, Ohio several seasons back. The major difference? Sylvan Beach Park is a much smaller location, which also gave off a freakier vibe. The hauntings at the park are tied to a trio of ghosts known as Abby, Scotty and Jack. Abby, who is also known as the Lady in White, is somebody many believe died in a fire that happened at the park. Scotty is the ghost of a former maintenance worker who was found dead in one of the park's buildings. Finally, Jack was a game attendant who lived in one of the site's apartments.
Once again, the show has found an outstanding location mixed with perfectly creepy tales. Trouble is, that's about all this episode had to offer.
As the investigation began, Britt and KJ reluctantly boarded one of the park's dizzying rides to see if they could recreate a spooky story in which somebody spotted a ghost while spinning on the attraction. Although they didn't see any ghosts, it definitely made Britt a bit wobbly. Throughout the investigation, various members of the team heard strange knocking sounds and their techy, beeping gadgets went haywire a couple of times. At one point, Britt claimed he saw something lean out and look at them not long before KJ watched a shadow walk by. But of course, there was no evidence beyond their claims.
After reviewing the evidence, they noticed several pieces of strange audio recordings they captured. None of them were clear voices, but the multiple whistling sounds were definitely strange. Although I wasn't too impressed with the final result, the park's owner was psyched with everything he heard because he believed the whistling was coming from Scotty's ghost.
That's a wrap on Ghost Hunters for several weeks because new episodes don't return to SyFy until this April.
What did you think of this episode? Did any of the evidence impress you? Do you believe in ghosts? Do you have any strange experiences with paranormal activity? Do you miss having Grant Wilson investigating on the show or are you getting used to things without him? Sound off and leave a comment below!

To achieve the look deep but mischievous like Monica, you should use a black shadow to create the appearance of smoked product is applied by pressing with a brush and leaves go into the bones of the eye to give more intensity in the line above the tabs, then draw a pencil line on the black mascara on them.

They represent the duality of the art of seduction with the Italian one side classic beauty, and on the other the more sensual look.
The colors are divided into six categories (red, orange, purple, coral, pink and nude) to fit every face.

The collection ranges from the most traditional to the most modern colors, n*de for everyday wear or sensational shades for large events. "Choose a lipstick color depends on the mood.

Nelly featured Nicki Minaj on "Get Like Me," a single from his recently released M.O. album.
The St. Louis rapper says that despite Nicki Minaj's success, female rappers still face significant challenges.
"It is definitely harder for females in this business," he said during an interview on "Chelsea Lately." "It shouldn't be, but it is. They have just as much talent, just as much creative ability as anybody else to make great music. So, I don't know why it's like that."
Nelly released the "Get Like Me" video, which also features Pharrell, July 31.
Last week, Nelly defended singer Miley Cyrus, who has been criticized for rapping and twerking.
"Miley's great," Nelly said in an interview with IN:DEMAND with Alex James, as per Perez Hilton. "She's a great talent. She's young and ambitious and wants to do it her way. When you're 20-years-old and you've been under a machine your whole life and been told what to do, when you get to a certain age you're like, 'I want to do it my way'…Whatever mistakes she makes, she's gonna have to deal with them. She understands that…I always ask, 'Who's she hurting?' She's just doing it her way. We've had a lot of people doing it their way."

I have the following problem:
Let $R$ be a commutative ring with identity and $\phi: R \rightarrow R$ a ring automorphism. If $F=\lbrace r\in R | \phi(r)=r \rbrace$, show that $\phi^2$ being the identity map implies each element of $R$ is the root of a monic polynomial of degree two in $F[x]$.
I've tried constructing the polynomial explicitly, but I haven't had any luck. I've considered trying to use an argument using indices, but I'm not sure how to go about it.

Asking for trouble
The repeal of 'Don't Ask, Don't Tell' brings big challenges for the military and its chaplains
The first casualties of the congressional repeal of the ban on homosexuals serving openly in the military may be chaplains and religious liberty.
That is the concern of both retired and active duty military chaplains after the successful push to end the "Don't Ask, Don't Tell" policy that has ruled the armed forces for nearly two decades. President Obama signed the repeal of the policy into law on Dec. 22.
"To say we are just repealing a 17-year-old law is highly inaccurate," says retired Navy chaplain Mark Jumper of Illinois. "We are repealing a military practice that goes back to George Washington and the American Revolution."
Richard Young, a retired Army colonel who spent 25 years as a chaplain, notes that in Canada, where a similar policy has been in effect, chaplains are already muzzled. There they are prevented from preaching or counseling about their biblical views regarding homosexuality.
Now chaplains are afraid conservative denominations eventually may pull their support for the U.S. chaplain program, allowing the influential posts to go to more liberal denominations. Inside the military, chaplains who are open to gay unions may be the ones promoted to important positions.
Beyond chaplains, Young is concerned about all people of faith who wear the uniform in a military where chain of command and obeying orders are keys to unit effectiveness. "Leaders are going to be forced to support, as if they believe in it 110 percent, a policy that many of them may have moral and religious conflict with," Young said. "They will need more moral courage than they have ever had before."
In the Pentagon's own yearlong survey, released Dec. 1, almost 24 percent of respondents said they would leave the military or think about leaving sooner than planned if the repeal happened. That means that potentially 500,000 troops would depart. Sensing this, more than 1,000 retired military officers wrote to Congress earlier this year warning that the change would "break the all-volunteer force."
The repeal raises many uncomfortable questions: How will the military handle living and bathroom arrangements between soldiers? (The Pentagon report recommended no separation of living and showering facilities, threatening soldiers with forced intimacy.) Will the military provide the same benefits to homosexual couples as to traditional marriage partners-such as military housing and healthcare? Many expect lawsuits to be brought against service members who oppose the homosexual lifestyle.
With so much at stake, conservatives were upset that Congress held minimal hearings on the Pentagon's study and voted, with no amendments allowed, on repeal just 18 days after the complex study's release. "It is clear why this was done: not to enhance the military's ability to accomplish its mission or to enhance national security," says Family Research Council President Tony Perkins. "Rather, it is a political payoff."

Life, Death and Seashell the Goldfish
My daughter's preschool class just did a month-long unit on the ocean, culminating in a field trip to the aquarium last week. As a "present," lovely male teacher gave each child an early lesson in death, oops, I mean a goldfish. My daughter, ever the enthusiast, was thrilled by her new pet. She named the thing Seashell and made a birth certificate for it and everything. Now, to lovely male teacher's credit, he did give us typed instructions on how to take care of a goldfish, as well as an envelope full of fish food. What he did not give us, however, was the stuff that you need to put in the water in order to de-chlorinate it so that the fish doesn't die from tap water poisoning. This, evidently, was something that I was going to have to buy at Petco, because I have so much extra time in my life to be making trips to Petco.
When we brought Seashell home, I told Harper that I would go to Petco the next day, but of course I forgot. And then I forgot the next day, too, and when Harper stomped into my room the next morning, remembering that I had, indeed, forgotten, and reminding me that if we didn't change Seashell's water soon she was going to die, I promised Harper that I would write myself a note to go to Petco that day while she was at school. Which I did, except that I lost the note and forgot all about going to Petco, until, of course, I got home from the market and the nanny informed me that the goldfish was dead. And if you're interested in learning a nice little factoid about goldfish, dead ones look surprisingly like live ones, except that they don't move.
I had an hour before I had to pick Harper up from school, so I booked it to Petco and announced to the fish guy that I needed a goldfish. What kind? He wanted to know. I told him the kind that looked like the dead one floating in my kid's fishbowl at home. I felt like I was a mom in a bad after school special, trying to protect her little four year-old from the harsh reality of death. Except that I wasn't replacing the fish because I wanted to protect Harper from the harsh reality of death. I was replacing the fish because I wanted to protect myself from the harsh look that Harper would give me when she realized that her fish died because I am a flake. I was protecting myself from becoming Mommy, the Fish Killer.
So anyway, the guys scooped out a goldfish, handed me a bottle of the de-poisoning stuff for the tap water, and told me to clean the tank once a week. To which I replied, "Dude, I'm lucky if I wash my hair once a week." And then I went home and flushed Seashell down the toilet, cleaned the tank, refilled it with some of the de-poisoning stuff, dropped in the new fish, and placed it back on the shelf in Harper's room, where she would be none the wiser. And then, when I picked her up from school, I proudly informed her that I had not only remembered to go to Petco, but had also already cleaned Seashell's tank and fed her. But when we got home, the new Seashell wasn't looking so hot. She was kind of lying on the bottom of the tank, and her mouth was opening and closing really slowly, and I knew that I had done something wrong, and that it was just a matter of minutes before this fish kicked the bucket, too. But I didn't care, because as far as Harper knew, I had done my duty my as a mother, and if this Seashell died, then harsh reality of death, here we come.

Hello all,
I recently purchased a Bianchi San Jose. I'm 5'6 and have a 30 inch inseam. I went to a very reputable bike shop (rated very high in the city paper) in my city to check out the San Jose. I liked the look and single speed is very cool. I tried out the one they had on the floor (52cm). I though the standover to be a bit high because I have been reading that you need an inch or two for standover on a cyclocross bike. Mind you that the last road bike I had was almost 15 years ago and I don't remember the size or the fit as I was pretty young then.
In the store I stood over the bike and lifted the front wheel up about an inch, but not more. The sales person said that the bike looked about right. When I got on the pedals and put my hand on the bars, the guy said that it was the right fit. I was excited and took the bike for a test ride. The ride was awesome. While I am on the bike riding, I don't feel cramped, my leg extension is good, I don't feel like the bike is too big. I have even taken it off some simple off road trails and the bike feels great. Riding is not the problem.
Here's the problem though. When I stand over the bike at a stop, I can stand over the bike safely without hurting my self. There is a little bit of room. When I stand over the bike without shoes, my "stuff" is resting on the top tube. Again, riding is not the problem and I am able to stop put a leg down and take off again without trouble. However, I am wondering is this size is ok. I sat on a 49cm Bianchi Pista and it was too cramped. I sat on a 49cm Bianchi Veloce and the standover was good, but I felt cramped especially when I crouch down on the bars. In hindsight I am wondering if I should have waited and got the 49cm, but I was excited and bought the 52 based on the ride.
Sorry this is so long, but I've been thinking about this for awhile and I've been riding the bike alot trying to figure out if I can find problems with the ride itself, but I cannot. This standover thing irks me.
Please help.

Most of the time a miscarriage happens when something went wrong with the baby; it's not anything you did and it's not your fault. But it is very sad, and without the father there it's especially hard when it can feel like you're hurting alone. So reach out to your mom, to your friends, and take time to grieve. Try exploring your feelings, like write the story in your journal or draw a picture of the way you feel. Sometimes women prefer to think of it as just the loss of a dream; some find it helpful to choose a name for their child, to help honor the reality of its brief existence. You might find that talking with a counselor will help you sort out your tangled feelings of grief and loss and guilt and relief. And although it might not feel like it now, remember that things will get better over time. You'll never forget this, but in time it will become just a part of your past instead of the center of your present. I'll be thinking of and praying for you.posted 09/30/2012 by spiralingsnails
It must have been devastating to experience a miscarriage like that! Please know that it wasn't your fault. Many, many, many women who do everything by the books miscarry too, especially if it's a first pregnancy. Most the time there's something wrong with the development of the fetus, and that's why one miscarries, and it doesn't matter how well you treat your body. None the less, you're still experiencing a great loss and grieving is to be expected. If you ever feel like your emotions are out of control, you might want to consider seeing a counselor. You're probably experiencing a wide range of emotions from relieved to devastated, and it will help to talk to someone and process those emotions.posted 09/30/2012 by neneface
I know this isnt the best answer, but your 15. This was probably the best for you. I had my daughter at 19 and I was still too young. Be young, enjoy your youth because the second you bring a child into this world its stops being about you. and you dont want your parents raising your baby. Being a mommy is amazing but its complete sacrafice of your own plans. If it helps though, I had one miscarriage when I was younger too and I was assured they happen the majority of the time because the baby wasnt developing properly. it wasnt anything you did.posted 09/29/2012 by CAmommy521

CORE Plugin
CORE Plugin can be integrated with repositories to provide recommendations on semantically related resources. The Plugin is easily integratable with any repository as it only needs Javascript.
The current version of the Plugin recommends full-text items in Open Access repositories that are related to: (a) a metadata record, (b) a full-text item in pdf, (c) any piece of text, or (d) any combination of the previous. The more information is supplied the more accurate is the result. In the past, CORE required the resource that is used as a query to be available also as Open Access. This is no longer the requirement, but it is still a good practice.
To use the plugin, you can either use our EPrints Bazaar plugin or our JavaScript API.
Eprints Bazaar
Your repository software needs to be EPrints >= 3.3 - If you have an older version of EPrints you will not have the Bazaar store. You will either have to upgrade EPrints, or use our Javascript API.
The Bazaar package is the quickest way of installing the plugin. It uses the same API mentioned below, but requires less configuration.
- Request an API Key
- In you EPrints install, go to the EPrints Bazaar Admin page and search for 'CORE Widget' and install
- Once installed, go to the CORE Widget Configure page and find the line
- Save the file, and reload the Configuration.
- In Admin->System Tools, regenerate the abstracts and views.
- Visit a document in your repository and see CORE's suggested similar documents.
Replace InsertKeyHere with the API key we will send you.
If you do not have EPrints => 3.3 or would prefer to have the power to customise the look of the plugin, please view our Javascript API.
Javascript API
Please request an API Key. Please also mention that you require the Plugin Files.
The CORE Plugin consists of four files:
The plugin can be installed by placing the following part of the index.html file into your page, by specifying the path to the javascript and css files and by correctly setting the parameters of the call. The parameters
oai and
URL define the document with respect to which the recommendations are provided. We suggest to use either
oai or
URL. If the document has not yet been harvested by CORE, the system will try to access the pdf copy at the location specified by the
URL parameter. It is therefore important that the specified URL is public. If the document is not associated with a full-text, the CORE Plugin can still be used (but the result is likely to be less precise than when using full-text). Just specify any number of tthe parameters. The more information is provided, the better result you will get. Finally, it is necessary to specify your API key which you can freely obtain by contacting us. More information is provided here.
Then in the body, specify a div into which the plugin will be loaded.
The style of the Plugin can be adapted to your repository needs in the
jquery.coreWidget.css The
jquery.coreWidget.js allows adapting the layout of the Plugin, however, we ask users not to change the information in the footer and its appearance.
Please do not hesitate to contact us, should you have any problems when integrating the CORE Plugin,

Mali is among the most ancient states in sub-Saharan Africa and is the home of the fabled Timbuktu (Tombouctou), an Islamic center of learning and culture. The country's other attractions include surreal landscapes, medieval mosques made entirely of mud and pink sandstone villages. Outdoor enthusiasts are drawn to trekking areas in Dogon country and canoe excursions along the Niger River.
Mali weather: The best time to visit Mali is December-March. The rainy season is June-September and the excessively hot, dry season, when temperatures can reach 40 C (104 F) and the Harmattan winds blow off the desert, is mid February-June.
Some of Mali's ethnic groups include the Bambara -the largest, the Fulani or Peul, the Dogon, Senoufou and the Tuareg (who are known for their nomadic lifestyle and indigo blue robes and turbans). Mali's official language is French, and Bambara is the second most widely spoken language. Arabic, Tuareg and Dogon are spoken in various areas. Ninety percent of all Maliens are Muslim, 9 percent practice traditional African religions and 1 percent are Christian.
Credit cards are only accepted at major hotels, at a few travel agencies and in select restaurants. VISA credit card cash advances can be obtained at banks in Bamako. Traveler's checks are accepted at most banks, the airport and hotels. Proof of purchase is normally required.
An international direct dialing system is available in Bamako, but international calls are very expensive. Phone centers in Bamako sell calling cards and provide public card phones. A GSM 900 network allows for coverage to major towns. Internet service is available in Bamako.
Bamako Senou International airport services African and European airlines, and Mali's national carrier, Air Mali, links Bamako to Timbuktu, Gao, Goundam and Mopti.
Driving outside of Bamako is not recommended, especially along the Mauritanian border and to destinations in the north and east. This is due to the risk of carjacking and robbery. Taxi service and car rental are available. Buses are often overcrowded and foreigners are frequently overcharged. Train and ferry services are good.
Lodging is slightly less expensive then in the West. Inexpensive restaurants can be found all over Bamako.
Civil unrest normally occurs during election periods. Travelers should travel to destinations in the north and east by plane, train, ferry or military convoy. Female travelers are often harassed in public places; some of this groping behavior may serve as a distraction by pickpockets working as a team.

The French Express label (Perseus, Chris Malinchek, Jonas Rathsman, Moon Boots) has been the leading light of this stuff for a year now. Moon Boot's "Sugar" from earlier in the year is more or less a remix/edit of Janet's "If", and its still flawless.

The blog The Last Gas Station does decent work covering the sub-genre. Some pointers: The Magician's Magic Tape set lists (they're all on La.Ga.Sta), Surf Ambassador Hendo's setlists, every thing on the French Express label, most Kitsuné label compilations, and half of Youtube user Majestic Casual's uploads.
Of current note, French Express, just mentioned above, now have a UK #2 with Chris Malinchak's "So Good to Me". And early stalwarts Classixx finally brought out their debut album Hanging Gardens.
Tons of freebies on soundcloud from the standout names like Plastic Plates, Perseus, Gigamesh, Moon Boots, Villa, Moonlight Matters, Breakbot, Yuksek, Goldroom, Flight Facilities etc.

My dish network receiver will not start up.
My dish network receiver will not start up. The screen on the TV displays "DISH NETWORK STARTING UP" but nothing happens from there. I've already tried the reset button and unpluged the receiver with no positive results. It did this yesterday and finally did start up after about a 1/2 hour. After 2 1/2 hours this morning we are still receiving the same results on the screen and the light on the receiver is yellow.

One of the reasons I decided to go Canon was Nikon's insistence that to download a full, printable copy of a camera manual, one had to enter a serial number. That's hogwash. I was able to download Canon manuals with no problems, and evaluate the functionality.
And so, Nikon, you lost about $60,000 in sales from me.
I'm surprised to see that Nikon are requesting a serial number, I've downloaded manuals for D100, D3 and D7000 without any such requirement (from Nikon USA site.) I saved them as PDF files then used Acrobat Reader.
In any case, it seems an unusual way to determine which Camera to choose...

Genital Herpes Pregnancy Pictures
Picture showing very obvious genital herpes symptoms in a female. Symptoms like these in a pregnant women highly increases the risk of passing the infection to the baby during delivery.
Prescription Medications Can Have Severe Side Effects!
When treating herpes, you need to beware that prescription medications can have severe side effects. Therefore, before you consider a doctor-prescribed remedy you should beware of the possible consequences.
Before Treatment
Of course, you should always consult your physician before attempting to treat this problem at home. This will help you avoid an overabundance of additional health problems. After all, you want to improve your situation not make it worse.
Your Options
Genital herpes sufferers have the option to be treated Valtrex which is one of the brand names of acyclovir, is taken orally. (Initially it was sold under the name Zovirax.)
The main function of this doctor-prescribed antiviral remedy is to help prevent actions which lead to new outbreaks of this condition. Furthermore, the variants of this medicine are used as a way to lessen the severity of the outbreaks as well as reduce the duration of them.
Either the generic or brand names of this medication are usually most effective when applied during the beginning stages of an outbreak. Therefore, it often is applied when a sufferer feels pain tingling sensations or slight pain associated with this STD.
Side effects of these two medications may not be as serious as other types on the market. However, patients might want to be aware that problems associated with these medications include headaches, nausea, abdominal pain, depression, joint pain, vomiting, or dizziness. It can also have a negative effect on liver enzyme production.
There are also various topical creams and injections that can be taken as well. These may help as well in varying degrees. The effectiveness rate is different for every single person as no two people respond to treatment in the same way. These may or may not cause some of the same problems as the above-mentioned medications.
Two newer solutions often tried by people today include Dalinex and Dynimaclear. These seem to very effective and safe according to reports that have been generated. These are herbal-based homeopathic solutions that have not yet known to cause any side effects and are 97% and 90% effective respectively.
Additional Info
Now that you know that prescription medications can have severe side effects, you might want to learn how to improve your situation. This often requires the application of helpful self-care tips.
For instance, it is highly recommended that you cut out highly acidic foods such as tomatoes. Furthermore, you should also cut down on the amount of salt, sugar, and fat you eat, and most importantly of all try to stay out of the sun.
Did You Know:
A woman who contracts genital herpes virus during the third trimester of pregnancy is at an increased or higher risk of passing herpes virus to the baby. This is because the women's body doesn't gets sufficient time to build antibodies against the virus.

I have a class in an Excel file and my boss wants me to create that class into a COM DLL. I don't want to have him walk me through the entire process because he's quite busy.
Can any of you point me in the right direction and help me out with this?
Create an ActiveX DLL project. This is a COM DLL.
Depending on the code in your class (and its dependencies), you may need to add one or more references (Project -> References...) before it will build without errors.
Work through the step-by-step guide from the VB6 user guide Creating An ActiveX DLL. It's pretty good. It goes through creating the project, building the DLL, and making a client project, and then it explains some underlying concepts and gotchas.
By the way ActiveX DLL just means COM DLL - marketing people called COM "ActiveX" in the late 1990s.

Visit Latex Heaven
This site is scored on its photo content—not videos!
This site is scored on its photo content—not videos!
Calling something a "heaven" is pretty heavy. You have to really stand behind your material to compare it to the pearly gates. On Latex Heaven, you'll see gorgeous chicks wearing all kinds of latex outfits. They pose and stretch and smile at the camera. Does the sight of a hottie encased in colorful skin-tight rubber excite you? If so, this might be the heavenly experience you're looking for.
Navigating LatexHeaven is very easy. The members' area homepage has the latest updates and you can just click on "models" at the top of the page to choose your preferred latex lady and see all of her material. You'll probably notice two things right away: there is no nudity and there are no videos.
Yes, this site is photo content only. There are 275 photo galleries to be exact. You can see beautiful brunettes squat in latex short shorts, bustiers and sky-high boots and sizzling blondes and redheads bend and curl in hot pink latex leggings and halters with rose-colored stilettos. The colors are vibrant and alluring, including army greens, fire-engine reds and sexy teals and purples, so any latex fan is sure to have a good time.
The images are all high-res and there are about 60 to 100 per set. That is a decent amount of pics, but the disappointing thing is that you have to save them one by one. The addition of a Zip download option would be great and hopefully the site includes one in the future. A slideshow option would also be nice. I guess now I'm just being greedy.
As I mentioned earlier, all of the models stay clothed on this site. You'll see the sexy curve of a bum here and there and there are some hot cleavage shots, but the latex stays firmly in place in all shoots. Most of the sets feature just one babe, but I did see at least one gallery with two blonde models posing in black latex on a bar.
The site updates about two to three times a week with a new photo gallery, so the collection is going to increase at a good pace. True latex fetishists will appreciate the hot models and tight material featured on Latex Heaven. Just remember that you will have to value photos over videos.
* Please include a pro and a con about the site. Balance is essential in making a comment worthwhile. Scores without comments will be deleted.
* Watch out for ratings of zero and 100. In our opinion, there is no such thing as a site that is absolutely perfect or completely worthless.

More than 12,000 national and international athletes enlivened the Triathlon sport event. It was a prestigious annual event requiring the athletes to have a prime stamina and capability in various sports. The participants should not only be able to swim, but should also ride a bike and ran.
Nevertheless, this challenging sport was in great demand by the athletes, especially the adventurous ones. For this event, each participant should cover a far enough distance from Nusa Dua to Jimbaran. The Regent of Badung, AA Gde Agung, released the participants on Jimbaran Beach, South Kuta, Sunday (Jun 23).
The Regent Gde Agung said the triathlon had become a part of the world sporting calendar for the athletes looking for a challenge. According to him, the activity also became a part and color of the tourist attractions in Badung and Bali through sport event. "This competition is a part of tourism and can become an attraction for the athletes of the world and foreign tourists to visit Badung and Bali," said Gde Agung. (BTN/015)
