Hey there, time traveller!

Classic rock band Goddo is looking for Winnipeg fans from way back -- 1975 to the present -- for part of a documentary being filmed at The Oak nightclub Saturday, March 30. They may not be easy to spot, as many of the babes have lost their big hair and shoulder pads, and the guys don't wear their spray-on pants anymore. The dozen or so Goddo hits include Louie Louie, Sweet Thing, Pretty Bad Boy and Was it Somethin' I Said?
Toronto's John Powers is producing the show about the group, which formed 35 years ago in Scarborough, Ont., with singer/bassist Greg Godovitz, guitarist Gino Scarpelli and drummer Marty Morin. Powers insists his movie can't be done without Winnipeg participation, as Goddo fans were rabid here. They will be asking ticket-holders as they come through the door to speak into the mike and tell why they came to see Goddo again. Powers says they won't be disappointed with the show itself: "They're just as hot as they ever were -- amazing!" After the band plays, filmmakers will be asking fans for anecdotes -- personal memories and experiences to do with Goddo's music and performances. Tickets are available now at $20 a pop at the front desk of The Oak.

NYGARD FASHION SHOW: Several hundred people packed into the huge Nygard store on Kenaston Wednesday evening for their big An Evening of Bright Lights spring fashion show. There was no ramp, but the models followed paths of figure eights, with chairs lining the ellipses throughout the store. Jaws dropped at the finale! A seven-foot-tall woman in towering high heels, called "the finale model," as she came out only once, moved like a cruise liner through the sea of people in her stunning white couture creation, towering above Peter Nygard, His son, Jessar, a Johnny Depp look-alike, was filming the whole show for his dad on video camera, with a sizable movie screen off to one side. Models included local Winnipeggers, some from L.A., and the final offering was a Prairie girl. "My name is Pamela Allen, and I'm from Ohio," she announced to me from her lofty height as the show disbanded. Models in brilliant plumes on headbands made a final goodbye tour through the room and out the back. It doesn't get better at Paris fashion week.
Ten Winnipeg breast-cancer survivors also modelled, flying joyfully around the room, some tapping hands with audience members. "They were treated to a day of hair and makeup and got to keep the outfits they modelled in the show," says the event's Sharon Clarke. Mayor Sam Katz's daughter, Kiera, ended up with a whole beach-ball-full of autographs from Allen, other models, and who's-whos in the room. Guests included His Honour Lt.-Gov. Philip Lee and Her Honour Anita Lee, Mayor Katz, who attended with wife, Leah, said: "We didn't bring the baby because we didn't know what he would do during an hour of a fashion show." The only woman to rival the back-in-style '60s bouffant hairdos was Pearl McGonigal, former lieutenant-governor of Manitoba. Paula Havixbeck, city councillor for Charleswood/Tuxedo/Whyte Ridge, and girlfriends sat ringside. Havixbeck was staring at the floor for most of the show. She confessed she was not nearly as interested in the clothing as the stunning shoes, many of the them six-inch platforms. MLAs Dave Gaudreau (NDP-St Norbert) and Wayne Ewasko (PC-Lac du Bonnet) were scarfing down delicious appetizers with the rest of the crowd. Sandy Nitzche of CancerCare Manitoba and Barbara Shumeleym, president of the World Conference Breast Cancer Foundation, graced the event. Entire proceeds from ticket sales go to CancerCare Manitoba -- Breast Cancer Research.

SEX IN THE CITY GALA: It was a cold and windy Winnipeg day for the red carpet March 14, but limos kept rolling up, and six to 10 girlfriends would tumble out of each and pose quickly outside the Park Theatre. They were dressed for a New York cocktail party in fashions inspired by the famous Sex and the City TV series and movies. The four co-hosts? Titian-haired Terri Apostle from CTV played a totally believable Miranda character. Carrie was played by look-alike Fit and Fabulous blogtalk radio show host Marlo Boux. Sparker Strategy Group's Susie Parker played Charlotte and Pop Sports and Entertainment owner Angie Lamarinde (who looks like singer Adele) played Samantha. Filipino Journal editor Ron Cantiveros played Mr. Big, telling "Carrie" onstage she was "The One" and kissing her, to lively applause.
Genny Sacco-Bak, organizer of the Arthritis Society event, zipped around the room in a black-and-white zebra-striped sheath, and hundreds of women in New York black dresses, hats and sunglasses poured through the door. Some people dressed in costume as TV characters Miranda, Carrie, Charlotte and Samantha. This noisy audience of female besties didn't seem like they were going to stop visiting and partying as the movie rolled. But when the four women from Sex and the City started walking down the New York street, a hush fell over the crowd. The Arthritis Society supplied red Cosmo drinks, like those adored by the TV series girlfriends, appetizers, a martini bar, and huge auction prizes -- plus the Winnipeg version of paparazzi. Special guests included Love Nest owner Linda Proulx, Kellan Group's Shirley Robert, Tiber River Naturals' Michelle Lalonde, Total She's Kristen Goodman, Exchange Income Corp.'s Lacey Terwin, and Alicia Gulla of Hostess Hub.

In the summer of 1991, Arkady Renko has returned from exile and is back on the homicide squad in a newly democratic Moscow. When Arkady's informant, Rudy Rosen, and his underworld bank-on-wheels are consumed in a ball of fire, Arkady finds himself in an investigation that points to the heart of Russia's decaying infrastructure.
©1992 Titanic Productions, Inc. (P)1993 Recorded Books, LLC
"Frank Muller is Arkady Renko"
Martin Cruz Smith's Arkady Renko ranks as one of my favorite characters: cynical, sardonic, and tragically honest. I love the Arkady Renko books and Frank Muller embodies Renko's tone and character perfectly. I was thrilled when this version of Polar Star was added to the Audible library, and now Red Square. In another format I have also listened to Frank Muller read Gorky Park and Havana Bay. Hopefully these recordings will make it to Audible as well; in fact I've been so spoiled that I can't listen to any other reader. To me Frank Muller's voice IS the voice of Arkady Renko.
Structurally, this book takes a bit to get into, relative to the preceding books in the series. But once Renko has a personal investment in solving the crimes, the plot flows easily and compellingly. Throughout, Cruz Smith's language is as poetic and profound as it is in all the Renko books. Highly recommended!
I am a 67 year old psychologist. I have been married for 28 years, with two sons who are 27 and 24. I love listening to the books.
"Another fantastic novel by Martin Cruz Smith."
Arkady Renko is one of the richest characters ever created in all of literature, and his creator is one of the best writers living, in any genre. Plus, Frank Muller was without doubt the best narrator who ever read a book. This is a formidable combination, and it does not disappoint. Smith has created a Russia which feels so thoroughly researched and true that you think he must have lived there for decades. He hasn't. The entire Renko series makes one wonder why anyone else bothers to write. Gorky Park, Red Square, Polar Star, Wolves Eat Dogs: you will be thrilled by any of these. Smith's sense of time and place are so vivid that you almost feel you are living there and then. Muller's voice is so supple and many-faceted that any regular listener will instantly warm to it, and have the awesome experience of hearing an actor with virtually limitless talent. Renko is so complex: so sad yet so determined to pursue his cases; so thoroughly Russian, so observant of his environment, so passionate yet vulnerable to depression. Do you know many people in real life who are so completely human? And yet, every word of every book is fiction, a creation of one of the most fertile minds in the writing world. If you have missed this combination, you are fortunate enough to anticipate many hours of enjoyment. I have read and re-read these books several times, because they are so full of nuance and detail that you forget much of it between readings. I cannot say this of many other writers: you read them once and you have no need to read them again. Not this author, and most assuredly not this narrator.
"Not as good as the first Books in the series"
This book really seemed to lose something that was present in the two previous books of the series. I just came away from this one feeling like a lot of the magic in the characters, as well as the political intensity that provided the backdrop of the story was somehow diminished, or missing completely. A lot of the things that I fell in love with regarding this whole series was based on the difficulties of investigating crime in a country that purports that there can be no crime. Combined with the political impossibility of constantly trying to work while being watched by every political organization in the country — both legitimate and not — and you simply have a setting inherently intense as far as criminal investigation. So, I think going into this one was potentially a let down because of the fall of communism, and how it really relieved a lot of the suspense and intensity that are evident in the first three books. I just started feeling like this book was just one more static detective novel, degenerating to a carbon copy of so many of the other ones that are out there.
I enjoy historical studies and period pieces, especially works historical fiction pertaining to the American Civil War, WWI and WWII.
"Masterful Historic Writing"
The beauty of Red Square is not necessarily in the story, but in the story telling and description of the soviet republic. Smith's prose is exceptionally enjoyable and the world view he presents through the mind of Arkady Renko is absolutely one of a kind. Cruz Smith's writing is truly about the journey, not necessarily the destination.
"A Fascinating Thriller And So Much More"
A fascinating story of a fascinating time and place (the old Eastern block as it crumbles and stumbles out of decades of Communism) with psychologically complex characters who experience real emotions, and it just happens to also be an engaging thriller.
I found Muller's narration to be difficult to follow for the first hour or two. He uses a very deep, quiet baritone to express the Arkady's ennui, which is appropriate. But I found the narration nearly inaudible in places near the beginning and thought every sentence was read in the same sad, declining cadence. A firey explosion is narrated in the same sad, slow tone of voice he uses to describe Arkady's jaded interactions with black marketeers. However, once he gets his rhythm, Muller's voice really finds a nice, easy to follow tone that adds a lot to the story. (Or maybe I just got used to it.)
"I'm in love with Arkady Renko!"
I think the atmosphere that the author creates is the best
Arkady finally caught up with Irina and it worked out for them
Yes. I really like his different voices and characterizations
Not any particular moment but the whole book just leaves you feeling and thinking long after you've finished it
"Martin Cruz Smith is the Best"
This is the fourth Martin Smith book I have enjoyed in the past month or so. My only complaint is that he has not written enough books and I am already concerned about what will be my reaction when I have exhausted Smith's production. I have never enjoyed any books as much as these. I am very concerned that from now on all authors will be compared to this guy and fall short.
"Martin Cruz Smith cannot write a bad book"
Can Martin Cruz Smith please buy the house next to mine and move in, so we can have little neighborhood get-togethers and I can just listen to him talk...all of his books are fabulous, because this person just has an amazing mind. So much wit, edgy wisdom, clever character development...buy and enjoy.
"This Book Rocks"
Absolutely. The characters, the atmosphere, the story, all jump out at you and then pull you back in for a wild and memorable ride. You know you're into a book when you yell and shout at the characters. I've had to close my bedroom window so the neighbors don't hear me.
The atmosphere of Russia the author created. The characters the author created.
I look for books narrated by Frank Muller. I'm sad that we won't ever hear another book read by him.
Obviously, "Where is Red Square." I loved that line and when I thought I knew what it meant, The author let me know just how wrong I was. Then when I thought I knew what it referred to, the author let me know I was wrong yet again.
I wonder if the author actually hated Arkedy Renko, lol. I don't know how he will survive til book 7 and I just finished book 3. Arkedy sure takes a lot of punishment and it seems that he doesn't do a whole lot to avoid it.
"You will want to listen to this at least twice"
And each time you'll wish it was the first time. Renko is a unique character, an Everyman, an underdog, and completely unstoppable. And Frank Muller is the best reader in history.
"ok story with soporific narration"
There is an echo behind the recording on this book making it very hard to listen to. Not helped by Muller's terrible ponderous and monotone narration. The story is not bad - there are better Renko books than this one - but overall it is very hard to listen to a bad echo-y recording and concentrate on what's being read.

In some circumstances, attempting to package an AIR application for Apple iOS platform using ipa-ad-hoc and ipa-app-store targets can result in a NullPointerException. A workaround for this problem may be to use a debug version of your SWF in the package.
When using the Project->Export Release Build… menu item to create a package, click Next on the first screen. You will notice that it will build the release SWF as it switches from this screen to the Package Settings screen.
Before you click Finish on the Package Settings screen of the Export Release Build dialog, go to your project within Finder (or File Explorer on Windows). With the Export Release Build dialog open you will not be able to do the next step within Flash Builder and you will have to do it within Finder. Copy the ePresenter.swf file found in the bin-debug directory and replace the same file in the bin-release-temp directory with the one from the bin-debug.
Once you copied the debug version into the bin-release-temp folder, you can click Finish. When I tested this, it was able to create the IPA.

President Barack Obama has announced plans to nominate Janet Yellen to be chair of the Federal Reserve. If confirmed by the Senate, she would be the first woman to hold the position in U.S. history. Obama called her "one of the nation's foremost economists and policymakers" and noted that "she knows how to build consensus and listens to competing views." Yellen has served as vice chair since 2010.
The appointment is important because the central bank sets interest rate policy, trying to walk the economic tightrope between encouraging growth and restraining inflation. During current Fed Chairman Ben Bernanke's tenure, the Fed employed extraordinary measures aimed at lifting the economy out of the most difficult crisis since the Great Depression.
During the brief White House ceremony, with Bernanke and Yellen standing alongside him, Obama paid tribute to Bernanke's service. Said Obama, "For nearly eight years, Ben has led the Fed through some of the most daunting economic challenges of our lifetime. For some time now, he's made it clear that he intends to finish his service as chairman at the end of this term, which is this January."
The announcement follows months of contentious maneuvering over a successor to Bernanke, whose term ends in January. The administration floated the possibility of supporting former Treasury Secretary Larry Summers for the post. Facing criticism from Yellen's Democratic supporters in the Senate, Summers took his name out of contention in September, saying the confirmation battle would likely be acrimonious. Before and since the Summers flap, Yellen was seen as the leading contender for the powerful post.
For his part, Summers was upbeat with his reaction. In a statement he said, "Janet Yellen is a terrific choice to lead the Federal Reserve. I have admired and learned from her ever since she taught my first macroeconomics graduate class in 1976."
Senate Banking Committee Chairman Tim Johnson, D-S.D., said he commended "President Obama on his selection of Dr. Yellen to be the first woman to serve as Federal Reserve Chairman. She has a depth of experience that is second to none." Johnson pledged "to move her nomination forward in a timely manner." The committee will hold hearings on the appointment before being considered by the full Senate. Obama urged the Senate to confirm Yellen "without delay."
Sen. Bob Corker, of Tennessee, a Republican member of the committee, issued a statement noting that he'd voted against Yellen's nomination as vice chair two years ago, citing her "dovish" views. Some critics have held that Yellen favors supporting growth over battling inflation, a charge which she adamantly denies.
Making history
On the nomination of the first woman to be Fed chair, Diane Swonk, chief economist for Mesirow Financial asks: "What took so long?
Said Obama, "She'll be the first woman to lead the Fed in its 100-year history. And I know a lot of Americans, men and women, thank you for not only your example and your excellence, but also being a role model for a lot of folks out there."
Swonk says, "In terms on monetary policy, she was the favored choice of financial markets, and represents continuity at the Fed."
It was Yellen who headed the central bank's Communications Committee under Bernanke, leading to the decision to begin holding regular news conferences. Swonk says Yellen would be expected to press for further transparency, if confirmed.
"Look for more clarity and emphasis on communications given her roll chairing the communication committee, which included two extremes of views among the Fed presidents. She has already had a lot of practice corralling cats, which is a necessary trait in these uncertain times," she says.
As he revealed his decision to back Yellen, Obama said, "She sounded the alarm early about the housing bubble, about excesses in the financial sector and about the risks of a major recession."
While praising Bernanke's stewardship, Yellen said, "While we have made progress. We have farther to go. Too many Americans still can't find a job and worry how they'll pay their bills and provide for their families."
In a written statement delivered after the announcement, Bernanke said, "Janet is exceptionally well qualified for the position, with stellar academic credentials and a strong record as a leader and a policymaker. "
Yellen, 67, spent much of her career at the University of California at Berkeley's Haas School of Business. She previously served under President Bill Clinton as chairwoman of the Council of Economic Advisors and was president of the Federal Reserve Bank of San Francisco. Her husband, George Akerlof, won the 2001 Nobel Prize for Economics.

IN AN unassuming white brick studio in western Sydney, Jenny Mercian delicately lines up jars of coloured jewels.
It is here in the small room attached to her parents' one-storey house that jewellery masterpieces worn by international supermodels Tyra Banks, Heidi Klum and Miranda Kerr are created.
Although Mercian is largely unknown in Australia, her jewellery label - Manik Mercian, her middle and last names - is whispered in the same breath as Vivienne Westwood in international fashion circles.
The 33-year-old jewellery designer was spotted at Australian Fashion Week in Sydney in 2005 by a talent scout for the Victoria's Secret creative team.
''I was doing jewellery as a hobby and someone said to me, 'Why don't you do fashion week and see how it goes?''' Ms Mercian, who studied a degree in fashion and textiles at the University of Technology, said.
She scraped together her savings for the display and became an in-demand accessory jeweller around the world.
Her pieces of body jewellery include sparkled vests, glittery bras, wings and diamond wheels that average $100,000 a piece, weigh up to 20 kilos in crystals and can take up five months to create.
Jewellery couture has always interested Mercian, who would raid her grandmother's jewels from an early age. ''No one had taught me how to solder or anything,'' Ms Mercian said.
''I just picked up an object and looked how it would be made. I bought a soldering machine and started practising with it, joining beads and joining pearls. It's all trial and error.''
One piece that she created for Jaeger London has sold out at London's flagship store, Harrods.
But after seven years of couture fittings, she will miss next Wednesday's Victoria's Secret show. She has an even bigger event to plan - her February wedding.
''Planning a wedding is actually more time-consuming than doing a show,'' she said.

We've revised the guidelines section. In my opinion, one very significant new area are the Core Principles. These are principles that we feel are crucial to adhere to when developing enterprise RIAs. They are also easier to agree upon between teams even if some areas (such as an IoC framework choice) might be more difficult to agree upon. Looking for commonality between teams can help bring more consistency eventually.
Additionally, don't forget the MAX presentations of Francois Le Droff and Yaniv De Ridder; who will touch on build automation and the impact of multi-screen on client side architecture. Afterwards, I hope we can add some outputs of it to Cairngorm.

As in the past, when the Prophet Jesus (as) returns to Earth there may well be people who are inclined to denial around him. These people may well engage in various overt and covert activities. During his first time on Earth, in addition to waging a great struggle against unbelievers, the Prophet Jesus (as) also fought against the supposed men of religion inside the Jewish community and hypocrites around him. The presence of people with a tendency towards disbelief around the Prophet Jesus (as) is pointed to in the Qur'an in these terms:
When Jesus sensed disbelief on their part, he said, "Who will be my helpers to Allah?"…(Surah Al 'Imran, 52)
As we can see from this verse, the Prophet Jesus (as) sensed that certain people around him were prone to disbelief and to exhibiting bad manners resembling those of disbelief, and asked who his helpers were. True believers with a sincere faith in Allah and who had submitted to and obeyed the Prophet Jesus (as) replied that they were his helpers:
… The disciples said, "We are Allah's helpers. We believe in Allah. Bear witness that we are Muslims." "Our Lord, we have faith in what You have sent down and have followed the Messenger, so write us down among the witnesses." (Surah Al 'Imran, 52-53)
This state of affairs indicates the difficult circumstances in which the Prophet Jesus (as) found himself as he called on people to believe in the existence and oneness of Allah and to abide by the moral values of the true faith. Allah reveals in this verse that follows that unbelievers set a trap for the Prophet Jesus (as):
They plotted and Allah plotted. But Allah is the best of plotters. (Surah Al 'Imran, 54)
However, Allah imparts in the verse the glad tidings that He foiled the trap laid for the Prophet Jesus (as) and did not permit the unbelievers to achieve their objective.
When the Prophet Jesus (as) comes to Earth for the second time, people around him with an inclination towards disbelief may again set snares so that people do not recognize and obey him. However, by Allah's leave, in the same way that the traps set by unbelievers in the past came to nothing, all the snares set for him when he returns will again be in vain.

I learn a lot when researching the cakes I make. For example, I've learned about everything from juvenile arthritis to 3-D animation techniques because of cake requests. I have also dissected a tiger lily in the name of cake-science. This summer, thanks to an 11-year-old Titanic aficionado, I learned that contrary to our image of fluorescent-orange life vests, the actual vests worn by Titanic passengers were a light salmon hue. I imagine that 11-year-old Evan and I were the only ones who cared about this detail on the Titanic cake, but these are the things that keep me up at night.
Who knew that cakes could be so educational?

FREESTYLE ace Jazz Carlin plans to use this week's British Gas Swimming Championships as a dress rehearsal for the summer's Commonwealth Games.
The 23-year-old former Royal Wootton Bassett School pupil is in the Wales squad for July's Games in Glasgow and will be putting herself through her paces as she competes in the 200m, 400m and 800m events at the Tollcross International Swimming Centre.
Carlin's British Championships campaign gets underway today and the Wiltshire star, who trains in Swansea, says that she has been put through the wringer by long-time coach Bud McAllister, who is due to relocate to Australia next week.
"It's the first time I've been pre-selected for major competition so the pressure is off but I still want to try and do well," said Carlin.
"The schedule in Glasgow is going to be exactly the same as at the Commonwealth Games and it'll be great to test out how long you have to rest and a few little things like nutrition.
"My coach hasn't let me rest or taper and we've worked right through the last few months – I'm a bit sore but it's worked out well so far because I had good results at the Flanders Cup and in Marseilles (in the Mediterranean Open).
"I'm going to be going out to Perth for six weeks when my coach heads out there next week and it's all been geared towards me being as fast as I can for next July."
Paralympic Games star Stephanie Millward and Corsham ASC's Craig Harris are also in action.

It prepares candidates in comprehensive musicianship and performance skills for graduate school and a variety of music careers.
The Bachelor of Arts in Music degrees are for students with a musical background who desire to achieve a solid education in music along with a significant amount of study in other areas. Performance requirements may be satisfied by a recital or a project.
Live auditions are required for admittance. See the Prospective Students page for more information.
Music Scholarships are awarded to music majors who demonstrate superior music ability and who are committed to TMU and the ministry focus of its music programs. Scholarships are obtained by performing a live audition as well as taking a theory placement exam. Music scholarships are re-evaluated annually.

I never saw myself as a cleaver-user until Martin Yan gave me one. It was a thank-you gift for helping with a food demo. I was perfectly content with my collection of western-style knives up until then. But after several weeks, I decided to give Martin's cleaver a chance. My life in the kitchen has not been the same since.
In the beginning, this cleaver did typical cleaver jobs like bench scraping and garlic mashing. But this cleaver (Martin Yan's 6 1/2-inch Chef's Cleaver) is smaller than a traditional cleaver and able to do the work of various other knives and kitchen utensils.
I can't give you a complete list because it would take too long. The only other tools I use as regularly are a whisk and tongs.
Here are a few ways I use it:
- Removing the kernel from garlic.
- Using the back end of the blade to open holes on cans.
- Lifting and flipping foods like pancakes, steaks or eggs.
- As a colander when cooking pasta or blanching vegetables (I put the flat side of the blade against the rim of the pot (I create a dam) and slowly strain out the water.)
- With the top blunt side of the blade, I hack open coconuts and crush open nuts in shells.
- If stranded on an island I could use the blades large surface area to reflect sunlight and send out SOS signals, but luckily I haven't had to do that yet.
I think anyone can choose a tool, and when mastered, that tool becomes whatever you need it to be. Once I decided to make this cleaver the main tool in my kitchen, that was the day my cleaver became everything in my kitchen.

What kitchen tool could you not live without?

Mormon Helping Hands volunteers woke up early Saturday morning to serve as the manpower for two big projects helping the local community in Rancho Santa Margarita.
The two projects included landscaping at the Canada Vista Park and a food drive for the Second Harvest Food Bank organized at the local chapel for The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints.
At the park a total of 191 volunteers provided 287 hours of work, which included applying mulch material to a large dog park, planting decorative and landscaping plants along a bare area by the parking lot, and sanding and repainting several park benches.
"The manpower here is phenomenal," said Cary Haine, construction project coordinator for SAMLARC.
"It's a really great thing to get these families out here help," he said. "It gives everyone something to contribute, the kids, youth, and adults."
Haine also wanted to thank Mission Landscape for donating the mulch and plants. With such a large and well-organized work force, Haine said, "The challenge is to find more things to do."
And Mormon Helping Hands Organizer, Bethany Warnick, did find more to do by planning a food drive with the Second Harvest Food Bank.
On the same morning, volunteers collected food and hygiene items from their neighbors and brought them to the chapel to sort and organize. At the end of the morning, the volunteers collected a total of twenty-three 55-gallon tubs of donations, which exceeded the original goal of 18 tubs.
Whether working at Canada Vista Park or collecting and sorting the Food Bank donations, on Saturday the Mormon Helping Hands effort gave families an opportunity to have a good time working together while giving service to their community.

You exercise your body to stay physically in shape, so why shouldn't you exercise your brain to stay mentally fit? With these daily exercises you will learn how to flex your mind, improve your creativity and boost your memory. As with any exercise, repetition is necessary for you to see improvement, so pick your favorite exercises from our daily suggestions and repeat them as desired. Try to do some mentalrobics every single day!
Many students misuse the technique of highlighting important parts of their textbook. One common problem is reading the text just to find and highlight facts, instead of reading the text to understand the material. When the student returns to study the highlighted sections, they won't know the context of the facts and learning will be impaired. Another bad habit is highlighting too much information or incorrect information, which will make remembering the material more difficult.
The proper way to highlight a text is to read a section all the way through without highlighting anything. Then think about the important points and summarize the section in your head. Now reread the section and highlight the most important facts. You will only be able to pick out the key phrases after you have truly understood the material.
Another benefit of this method is the use of repetition which will help you remember the important parts of the material. Proper highlighting will give you a good way to review the text later, which will be very helpful if you are using the SQ3R study method.

If you are using LiveCycle Forms ES to render complex XFA forms as PDF and the forms contain subforms/tables which can split over multiple pages, you may notice some text-overlapping following a page break as follows:
You can use some processing instructions in the XDP template to control how the page break affects the field content. There are 2 processing instructions that can be used in this case to fix the text-overlapping issue, so that the contents no longer overlap the field boundaries:
<?layout allowDissonantSplits 1?>
<?layout allowJaggedRowSplits 1?>
You should add these PI's to your XDP templates only if you are encountering the issue described above. You can test these PI's in LiveCycle Designer ES by using the PDF Preview tab.
By adding these PI's the text-overlapping is resolved and appears as follows on the rendered PDF form:

Busy weekend for classical music fans
Updated 3:12 pm, Saturday, November 10, 2012
This is going to be a busy weekend for the San Antonio Symphony and for classical-music fans.
There's lots to choose from, including performances presented by the symphony, the San Antonio Chamber Music Society and the Tuesday Musical Club.
Here's a look:
San Antonio Symphony: The headlining piece for this weekend's classical subscription concerts is Ravel's "Bolero," which Music Director Sebastian Lang-Lessing called "maybe one of the most popular classical pieces every written."
The driving music follows an evening of nocturnal works: Ravel's "Rapsodie espagnole;" Falla's "Nights in the Gardens of Spain," featuring guest pianist Martina Filjak; and Debussy's "Nocturne," featuring the Mastersingers Women.
In "Nocturne," Debussy "uses female voices to vocalize, to sing like instruments," Lang-Lessing said. "There are no words, no text; just humming and open-mouth vocalizing, so they blend with the texture of the rest of the orchestra. It's quite unique; there are very few pieces like this."
8 p.m. Friday-Saturday, Majestic Theatre, 224 E. Houston St. $12-$92 at the Majestic box office and Ticketmaster outlets. 210-554-1010.
Entertainment Channel
More symphony: The musicians are also teaming up with the Air Force Band of the West for a free Veterans Day concert. The program, to be conducted by Akiko Fujimoto and Capt. Michael D. Hoerber, holds patriotic music such as "The Star-Spangled Banner," "Heroic Fanfare," "Strike Up the Band" and the "1812 Overture."
7 p.m. Sunday, Majestic Theatre, 224 E. Houston St. Free; tickets recommended; available at the symphony box office, Majestic box office, Fiesta Commission store, Joint Base San Antonio-Fort Sam Houston and the Lackland & Randolph AFB ITT office. If seats available 15 minutes before performance, people without tickets will be admitted. 210-554-1010.
Opus One Piano Quartet: The chamber music society is presenting the quartet, which consists of four well-regarded musicians: Pianist Anne-Marie McDermott, cellist Peter Wiley, violinist Ida Kavafian and violist Steven Tenenbom. The program holds works by Beethoven, Dvorak and Sierra.
3:15 p.m. Sunday, 211 Belknap Place. $25 at the door. 210-408-1558.
Paul Jacobs: The Tuesday Musical Club last presented Jacobs, an acclaimed organist, in 2009. That performance was also part of a series of events marking the 100th anniversary of Laurel Heights United Methodist Church; that's where he'll be performing this time, too.
7:30 p.m. Tuesday, Laurel Heights United Methodist Church, 227 W. Woodlawn Ave. $20; free for students. 210-732-5411; satmc.org.

State Rep. Garnet Coleman, D-Houston, has filed a bill that he says is designed to prevent future tragedies like the suicide of Asher Brown, a gay 13-year-old who took his own life last year in response to bullying at school.
Coleman's HB 1386, filed today, calls on the state to develop a comprehensive suicide prevention program for middle, junior and high schools. The bill would also ban anti-LGBT bullying, harassment and discrimination in public schools.
"This is a heartbreaking public health threat which we need to address," Coleman said in a press release. "I'm sick of nothing happening. We need to protect our children before they are driven to suicide or become severely and emotionally ill.
"It is our responsibility to ensure that a school is a safe learning environment for all children," Coleman added. "Our children should focus on their studies, not worry about verbal and physical threats from their peers.
"Too many young lives are being taken because of intimidation and countless more are at risk," he said. "This tragic loss of life is completely preventable.
"Current policy unjustly continues to punish the victim. We need to change that."
The bill is similar to one Coleman has filed in every legislative session since 2003.

Check Your Symptoms
Most women are healthy during pregnancy and do not have serious
health concerns. You may have minor physical symptoms throughout your pregnancy
that are considered normal pregnancy changes. It is important for you to be
aware of symptoms that may mean you have a more serious problem. Talk with your
doctor about any concerns you have during your pregnancy so that your health
problems can be checked quickly.
Many minor problems of pregnancy
can be managed at home. Home treatment measures are usually all that is needed
to relieve mild
morning sickness or discomfort from
heartburn or
constipation. There are also home treatment measures
for sleep problems, hip pain,
hemorrhoids, or fatigue. If you develop a problem and
your doctor has given you specific instructions to follow during your
pregnancy, be sure to follow those instructions.
If you have a
family history of diabetes, you may develop a type of diabetes that only occurs
during pregnancy (gestational diabetes). Gestational
diabetes is treated by watching what you eat, exercising, checking blood sugar
levels, and possibly taking oral medicines or insulin shots to keep blood sugar
levels within a target range. Women who have gestational diabetes are likely to have
babies that weigh more than normal. If the mother's blood sugar is not
controlled, this could cause serious problems for the baby before and during
You may also have other common problems, like a cold or
the flu, while you are pregnant that are not caused by your pregnancy. You can
use home treatment measures for these illnesses as well, but make sure to talk
to your doctor if your symptoms become more serious, such as coughing up blood
or not being able to drink enough fluids (dehydrated).
While most problems that occur during pregnancy are minor, you may
develop more serious symptoms that you need to talk to your doctor about. Your
symptoms may be related to:
During the days and weeks after delivery (postpartum period),
you can expect that your body will
change as it returns to its nonpregnant condition. As
with pregnancy changes, postpartum changes are different for every woman. Some
problems, such as high blood pressure, hemorrhoids, or diabetes, may continue
after delivery. You may need to follow up with your doctor about these problems
after delivery.
Check your symptoms to decide if
and when you should see a doctor.

Pregnancy affects almost every part
of a woman's daily life. If you develop problems and your doctor has given you
specific instructions to follow during your pregnancy, be sure to follow those
During your pregnancy, you may have questions about
many of the following common concerns:
For many women, the hardest part of
early pregnancy is
morning sickness. You may be able to use home
treatment to help your nausea or vomiting.
Most women have some fatigue
during pregnancy, especially during the first and third
trimesters. During the first trimester, your body
makes higher levels of the hormone
progesterone, which may make you feel more tired. You
may feel more energy during most of your second trimester. Later in pregnancy,
your growing baby and loss of sleep because you cannot find a comfortable
position can lower your energy level.
To help with fatigue during
Sleep problems are
common during pregnancy. These tips may help you get a good night's sleep.
You may also have other common problems, like a cold, mild
headache, backache, mild fever, or the flu, while you are pregnant that are not
caused by your pregnancy. These minor symptoms generally do not cause problems
or hurt your baby. In general, doctors say it is usually safe to take acetaminophen (Tylenol) for fever and pain.
Acetaminophen dosage: The usual dose is 650 mg. Take every 4 hours, as needed, up to 4 times in a 24-hour period. Do not take more than 3,000 mg in a 24-hour period.
Be sure to follow these nonprescription medicine precautions.
Check with your doctor before you take any other types of medicines.
Most pregnant women have symptoms of
gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD), especially
heartburn, at some time during pregnancy. These symptoms are common but do not
usually cause problems or hurt your baby. Most of the time symptoms of
heartburn get better once the baby is born.
You can make changes
to your lifestyle to help relieve your symptoms of GERD. Here are some things
to try:
Constipation and hemorrhoids are common during pregnancy. To prevent or ease these
Many women have
pelvic, or hip discomfort during pregnancy. As the
size and weight of your belly increases, strain is placed on your back. Pelvic
and hip discomfort is a normal sign that your pelvic area is getting ready for
childbirth. To help with your discomfort, follow these tips:
After 18 to 20 weeks, you will notice that your baby moves and kicks more at certain times of the day. For example, when you are active, you may feel less kicking than when you are resting quietly. At your prenatal visits, your doctor may ask you whether the baby is active.
Kick counts. In the last trimester of your pregnancy, your doctor may ask you to keep track of the baby's movement every day. This is often called a "kick count." A common way to do a kick count is to see how much time it takes to feel 10 movements. Ten movements (such as kicks, flutters, or rolls) in 1 hour or less are considered normal. But do not panic if you do not feel 10 movements. Less activity may simply mean the baby is sleeping.
If an hour goes by and you have not recorded 10 movements, have something to eat or drink and count for another hour. If you do not record 10 movements in the 2-hour period, call your doctor right away.
Call your doctor if any of the following occur during home
It is important to make healthy lifestyle
choices to lower your chance for serious problems during pregnancy. Learn about
healthy lifestyle choices before, during, and after your pregnancy.
To prepare for your appointment, see the topic Making the Most of Your Appointment.
You can help your
doctor diagnose and treat your condition by being prepared to answer the
following questions:

Search through millions of records to find out more.
October 28, 1915 — Hamburg, Germany
Karl was born in the north German port of Hamburg. His father was American, and his mother was German. Soon after Karl was born, his father returned to the United States and a little later, his parents were divorced. Karl left school when he was 14 and worked as a shop apprentice.
1933-39: In 1935 an informer told the police about my secret meetings with a 15-year-old youth, and I was arrested under the criminal code's paragraph 175, which defined homosexuality as an "unnatural" act. Though this law had been on the books for years, the Nazis broadened its scope and used it as grounds for mass arrests of homosexuals. I was released after 15 months but was arrested again in 1937 and imprisoned.
1940-44: In 1943 Hamburg was the target of heavy Allied bombing but the Fuhlsbuettel prison, where I had been held for six years for "security reasons," was not hit. During that period many prisoners were transferred to the Neuengamme concentration camp, but I was in the group sent to the Waldheim prison in Sachsen. I had a nervous breakdown there and entered the prison hospital. I was lucky because as the Allies moved closer, many of the other prisoners were released for combat and died on the front lines.
After the war, Karl found a position in a bank in Hamburg, but he was fired after 18 months when his employer learned that he had been imprisoned under paragraph 175.

It's every CIO's dilemma: bandwidth requirements ebb and flow throughout the month. There are certain times when network traffic increases and others when it decreases. This means that there are days or even weeks when they are using all of the bandwidth that they have available, however, there may be just as many instances when reduced network demand means there's excess capacity. That's money going down the drain!
As part of its desire to be more efficient, one small independent agency recently sought an Ethernet networking services provider. It was looking for a company that could offer a bandwidth-on-demand solution to meet the needs of its more than 50,000 employees worldwide while also meeting its variable data requirements. The requirements had to be met at or below the agency's budget. The solution was a Networx task order that was awarded to CenturyLink as the agency's managed data networking services partner.

I am going to design a new website for a local cardiologist's office. Is the usual practice to let the client purchase their own domain name and hosting, or should I charge them for doing it for them? If I charge them that would mean I have to pay for their domain name renewal and hosting service. I could always park their domain name and host on my hosting server. However, I don't have a reseller's program. If I do these two options what is the markup price? I could always just let them purchase the domain name and hosting on their own. But then comes the hassle of getting the proper information from them.
I suggest you just design their new website. They should hold complete responsibility of their domain name and web hosting. If they need assistance on how to set it up, help them for sure... Make sure you collect the money they need to spend for the domain and hosting , and charge them a little more extra for assisting them for that matter.
Thanks That would make things easier on me. They will have to purchase it with their credit card and give me the usernames and passwords then. That's always a confusing headache but so be it.
No problem.
You should charge them for design.Suggest him the registrar and host, if you want. otherwise let iem choose and pay recurring monthly/annual charges.Once he registers the domain and opens hosting account, upload the pages/website.If he want further modification, he should provide you or create one ftp account for you to manage the website/pages.Good luck
Leave them with the hosting and domain if they want you to do that charge them.
You've got a couple of options - charging them for hosting / domain registration service will give you an extra (regular) stream of income after the design phase has been finished.
A lot of places I know tend to bundle the first years hosting etc in with the design costs as one to try and encourage using the companies hosting.
If they want to do it themselves, let them, but you can always guide them that "it helps keep their site running optimally if you host it and can control it".
I think it's valuable to become a reseller for your favorite hosting company and when you have the customer sign up for hosting, send them to that link. This way, your customer is being independent about setting up their hosting (they love the responsibility, believe it or not!) and you get a little cut off of their purchase. It's a great addition to your business, letting the customer know that you provide everything (hosting, design, ecommerce, etc.) all under one roof!
You'd better not engage with the web hosting. You would find yourself working as a support representative very soon. Team up with any web host and outscore the web hoisting operations to them! On the reseller level you could us WHM, if you want to have control over your reseller account.
The best option would be to have them set up and do the care keeping on their end. It will be a huge hassle if you take charge of the domain and hosting.The design work is fairly routine and will be a one time affair. You don't want to be their web master unless they pay you.
It depends on how much of a headache you want to deal with when your client calls you at 2 AM asking some dumb question about the hosting. If you take on the role of the host, you need to be prepared with that. Personally, I think you might be better off money-wise forgoing a support contract and letting them manage the hosting. Then, when they inevitably screw something up, you can decide whether or not the job is worth the headache, what to charge them, etc. Often, working with small businesses can be a nightmare if they are non-technical and have bad expectations. This is why I suggest that.
I afraid web hosting, domain name, those words are jargon to a cardiologist. As a web designer, you can assist him to register a domain name and subscribe a hosting plan at the very first time. Make sure that all the information are registered under their name. Then pass all this document (or online document) for him to take care. Your main responsibility is to get the website done.
I think communication is very important when come to this deal. Customer normally mess up the hosting provider and web designer. So, talk nicely to them and they will understand.
I tend to bundle the first year's domain registration and hosting in with the web design for small firms.As you said, they don't understand industry or know what to look for, so they will generally just buy hosting with either who you recommend or the cheapest they saw in the back of a magazine (not good!).
To take this hassle away from them, it can also offer you yearly income and if you have a reseller hosting account with whitelabel support then you won't be troubled with those questions - but you could bring in an extra $100+/year for very little work. It will also mean that you are still their contact if/when they need something new online.
I do make it clear to my clients, however, that whilst hosting and the domain is bundled for a yearly fee - if they want changes done to their site after completion of the development/design then this is an extra cost. It is best to be upfront about this sort of thing, as some could believe the hosting+domain fee is more like a retainer for your services.
The reality is that they are going to go to you for everything anyway if they are completely clueless. You may as well make money out of it. Set up a "white label" reseller account. Everything has your brand name on it and you charge whatever you like. You can either bundle it as part of the design process (but charge renewal fees). Or offer it as an additional cost - on top of the design.
Offer any additional fees at a set schedule for support or an ongoing fee that includes both. Or a mixture. What a lot of our resellers do is a one off fee for the design and a monthly fee for support (which includes the hosting and domain fees).
But to make sure you are not taken advantage of - spell out clearly what they actually get for that. Anything additional attracts a fee.
From their point of view this is great. They don't have to learn "internet" and they have someone they can always turn to for help - and to buy additional services and to recommend to their friends/family/business associates.
Once the initial period of settling in is over this just means setting up the occasional email address or the like. Anything really technical you pass on to the company you are reselling from - but you get all the credit
It is a little extra work but it is an easy income stream - so long as you strictly state what you will do and have prices in place for additional services.

Tell me about it! This is what brought me to this forum today. I have a reseller account with a hosting company. I built a Website two years ago for a lady who is a small manufacturer of a single item. It's available in many "flavors" but it's just one item. She has a shopping cart, so there is a database, but she is basically a wholesaler. Since before the site was compleated, this lady became a royal PITA. She is totally without any knowledge of anything that has anything to do with computers or Websites, so I wound up loading her "store", and agreed to do maintenance (for an hourly rate).
Long story short, I found out quickly that she wants more than she is willing to pay for, complains when things aren't done as quickly as she would like (but she can't do it herself), and every time sombody can't place and order or get an email through, she automatically assumes there is something wrong with the Website or my hosting (we use ZenCart and FormMail, two open source programs that work very well). I find that I spend so much time doing her "stuff" that I barely have time to sell other design jobs, which is what I want to do.
The last straw was right before Christmas when she asked me to do an online catalog for America's Mart show in Atlanta (this week). After ten pages, and many hours doing creative work, she pulled the rug out from under me (when she asked for a couple more pages, and I told her I was charging her $50/page, which was cheap) and said she was going to give the job to her "graphics designer". I told her, "wait a minute, I have many hours in this project." She agreed to "pay for my time." I sent her a bill for $500 for the ten pages, which she had had me send to her "graphics designer" to complet the job.
When she got my bill, she called me, and was furious. She said she couldn't do business with me any longer and would be looking for a new host! (Hooray!). She paid the bill. She is still on my servers, suposedly looking for a new host, and has someone she calls her "help" (that's what she called him in her email) that will manage her Site, and not to bill her any more. I'm glad to see her go, but she is still on my servers as of today.
I have others that I host (I built their sites too) and I never hear from them.
But, this is an experience that makes me question if I want to offer such services ever again. As of right now, don't think so.
And now I think I'm going to sit down and play a little flamenco on my Alhambra 7fc flamenco guitar!
OMG! 2:00AM????? What nerve! Charge them tripple time for that!

Quit Victoria hopes that new research highlighting the devastating impact of tobacco, will lead to better policies and funding to address Victoria's number one health problem.
Executive Director Todd Harper said he congratulated the Victorian Government for releasing the Victorian Burden of Disease report, saying it would be invaluable in directing resources into areas with greatest need.
'Quitting smoking must be a top public health priority because these programs deliver huge benefits in a relatively short space of time,' Mr Harper said.
'For example, the risk of death by heart attack drops by 50 per cent just 12 months after quitting smoking.'
Mr Harper said he endorsed Mr Thwaites' call for programs to target low-income areas.
'In the area of smoking, it is clear that mass media advertising programs are an effective tool in getting smokers to quit, and these can also be targeted carefully for greatest impact amongst low-income smokers,' he said.
'One of the best resources is the Quitline service, which is a free service available to all Victorians and gives people a much better chance of successfully quitting.'
'We should not forget that low-income smokers who quit also receive an effective after tax pay rise of about $2600 per annum - the cost of a year's supply of cigarettes.'
Mr Harper said other initiatives such as workplace quitting programs, tailored programs for indigenous and migrant communities, expanded quitline services, and smokefree workplaces would also assist in lowering Victoria's smoking rates.
Mr Harper said the impact of smoking was not restricted to poor health outcomes.
'It has been estimated that smoking is costing Victoria's 100 largest employers alone $80m a year in employee absences, and costs the entire Victorian community more than $3.2 billion a year,' he said.

Hugh Jackman + More Go Revolutionary in New 'Les Miserables' Pics + Trailer
Get a peek at Les Miserables' Hugh Jackman, Anne Hathaway, Russell Crowe, and more in these new stills. Plus, a trailer! Hoorah!
-Lucia Peters
We've already gotten a sneak peek at Hugh Jackman's haggard makeunder and Anne Hathaway's cropped hair; but hey, look! Now we've got some context for both of them in these newly-released stills from Les Miserables! Set against the backdrop of France's June Rebellion of 1832, the film will most certainly give us a healthy dose of revolution. Let's take a look at them, shall we?
First up, we've got Hugh as escaped convict Valjean with Russell Crowe as Javert, the detective sent to find him:
We can probably assume that this is from a little later in the film, as Valjean no longer has that "I just escaped from prison" look. Here's a closer look at Russell:
And here's Anne as the ill-fated Fantine just after she's sold her hair in order to take care of her young daughter, Cosette:
Read Gratuitous David Beckham Shot: Elle UK's History-Making July 2012 Cover
Awww, see? Valjean isn't a bad guy; he just tends to show up in the wrong place at the wrong time. Here he is at the right time for once, rescuing young Cosette (Isabelle Allen) from her terrible life with the Thenardiers (Sacha Baron Cohen and Helena Bonham Carter)—just as he promised Fantine he would:
And what a lovely young lady she grew into! Here's Amanda Seyfried as adult Cosette with Eddie Redmayne as the love of her life, Marius:
Looking good, right? But that's not all; I've got something even better up my sleeve. That's right: A trailer! You have no idea how hard I tried not to make a "hear the people sing in the Les Mis trailer" joke, but, well… too late. Here, have a look and a listen:
Well, that was depressing. Sorry, didn't mean to rain on your Wednesday; here, have a gratuitous picture of shirtless David Beckham. Better? Awesome.
Anyway, it's probably a good thing that the trailer is so depressing; it means that the tragedy of the musical's story is landing properly. For those of you unfamiliar with the show, the trailer is set to one of the musical's best-known songs, Fantine's "I Dreamed a Dream." Simple. Heartbreaking. And a lovely rendition of the number from Anne.
Les Miserables is due out in cinemas on December 14, 2012. What a cheery holiday film!
Tell us: What do you think? Is Les Mis living up to your expectations so far?
Lucia Peters is BettyConfidential's associate editor.
