Following a successful Q1 earnings season it is now time to turn our attention to Q2; and try to identify value in stocks that could rise following earnings. As Q2 earnings season begins there are still a number of small and mid-cap stocks that are presenting value, as a result of the market's rally being led by large cap stocks. My goal is to find and capitalize on this value throughout the following 5-6 weeks as I try to repeat the success of Q1 by finding stocks that can return gains following earnings.
Earlier this year I wrote a series of articles that progressed over a period of five weeks as I purchased stocks prior to earnings. In week one I began with $20,000 and then divided the money into several stocks per week. The returned gains or loss was then carried over into the following week and used to trade earnings throughout the series. As a result I will be starting the Q2 series with $24,000, which reflect solid Q1 gains, despite a very rocky start in week one of Q1.
For those of you are unfamiliar with the series I urge you to watch this video that I recorded as a way to explain the overall strategy. If you are following this series as a carry over from Q1 then I also urge you to watch the video for points-to-remember, possible changes for Q2, my outlook, and other important notes that must be known before the season begins.
Since this is the first week of the series I am going to be trading with caution. If you remember, last quarter I invested way too much into Google (GOOG) on week one, and despite the other weekly picks being solid, I ended the week with a significant loss. As a result, I plan to be conservative in the first two weeks, play with a large bank, and take few risks. The goal of the first two weeks is to simply get a feel for the market and any trends that may exist throughout the remainder of the earnings season. If you watched the video you will know that I am not too confident about the market's potential in Q2, and are investing in companies that meet a number of criteria. With that being said, let's look at the first plays of the season.
On March 29 Research in Motion (RIMM) announced earnings that were disappointing at best. The company that once controlled the mobile space missed expectations, continued to reflect its declining margins, and announced that it is giving up on giving guidance. Yet the stock traded higher in the day that followed earnings. My theory is that the absolute worst possible expectations were already priced into its stock due to a one year loss of nearly 80%, and a price/sales of just 0.36 (which is unprecedented in this space). By all accounts RIMM should not have traded higher, but I think it shows a good example of how to play a stock once expectations are near the bottom.
In week one I am buying a stock that some may compare to RIMM (not operationally but through technicals) in Alcoa (AA). Alcoa is typically the first of the Dow Jones components to announce earnings and has been a stock with a very negative disposition as of late. The stock has declined 45% over the last year and over 70% during the last five years. Its expectations for this current quarter are particularly low with revenue expected to decline 3.5% and an EPS of ($0.04). Over the last three months the average EPS expectation has fallen from $0.14 to its current loss of $0.04. And Alcoa has given analysts all the right reasons to expect very little thanks to it missing expectations in three of its last four quarters. The company also announced that it is cutting production to temper an oversupply of alumina, which further adds to the evident problems of a decline in demand, volatile price of aluminum, and a rise in raw materials. With that being said, I am buying AA because I believe expectations are now so low that it can surprise the market. The stock has already traded lower by more than 5% over the last 3 days and I wouldn't be surprised to see it trade lower ahead of earnings. As a result I plan to buy just $2,000 worth of shares, because I am not necessarily confident, however I do believe it is very possible that AA trades like RIMM with expectations that continue to drop. I don't think it will take a lot to surprise the market and believe its downside is limited because of its valuation and recent loss.
Over the years I have had the pleasure of interviewing several CEO's of large companies. For the most part, it usually feels as though they are reading off a script. However, one CEO that I really appreciate and consider genuine is JPMorgan (JPM) CEO Jamie Dimon. When Dimon talks I always listen, and since he likes to talk, I listen quite often. Dimon's words are often analyzed for any indication of strength or weakness, as was the case following his annual letter to shareholders. In the letter Dimon discussed the strength of the bank despite a challenging economic climate, and reiterated that 2011 was a record year in terms of net income. The topic of mortgage related losses was a hot topic along with the issues of meeting new regulatory requirements that can be costly if not done right.
JP Morgan is perhaps the most financially secure institution of the large banks. Despite several analysts focusing on the negatives of his annual letter I saw several positives for the company's long and short-term future. For example, the fact that it is returning record income in this economic climate is very impressive. I am also impressed by its aggressive buyback strategy, which includes buying shares at every chance that its allowed. But most importantly, I am encouraged by its expansion and the opening of new offices while competitors such as Bank Of America (BAC) have famously downsized. I feel very comfortable in using JPM as a gauge of the banking industry, and look forward to it reporting earnings next Friday. The company has met or exceeded expectations for the last three years, and is one of the safest investments of the large banks. In Q1 the banking stocks were strong performers and I believe we will get a good idea of its strength by the performance of JPM. Therefore, I am buying $2,500 worth of shares, which is still a small amount, but like I said, I am only trying to get a feel for the performance of this industry during week one.
If JPM is one of the most solid and stable financial institutions then I think some would argue that Wells Fargo (WFC) is one of the most improved banks. The company posted a strong fourth quarter earlier this year, and analysts are expecting strong bottom line performance due to several improvements. An increase in commercial loans and a surge in mortgage creation are reasons why investors and analysts are optimistic that WFC could perform well after earnings. Therefore, I will play WFC the same as JPM and buy $2,500 worth of shares prior to earnings on Friday, in hopes that the banking industry's strength will continue.
Back in January I got burned when I put too much faith in the consistency of technology giant Google to beat earnings expectations. In January, the stock was about to break through its top level resistance but came crashing down when its results were less than optimistic. The company is expected to post an EPS of $9.64 when it announces earnings on Thursday. And if the stock's recent trend is any indication of investor expectations then it appears as though the market is looking for the company to surprise Wall Street. This report is very important for several reasons: It will help determine the future direction of Google and if results are strong it could result in GOOG surpassing $670 and breaking into a new range. As an investor I will be curious to see how much market share was taken from Android due to Apple's (AAPL) success and if the company is making a splash in the daily and local deals industry, since it was an area of large investments. Overall, I think its expectations are attainable, but I am not willing to invest too much into its success. Therefore, I am buying $3,000 worth of shares prior to earnings.
I believe there are numerous opportunities for gains throughout this Q2 earnings series. However, my outlook for the second quarter is a little shaky because of strong Q1 gains. As a result I will be playing this season more conservative at the start, and may incorporate a number of calls and puts over the next couple weeks. My goal to be conservative is evident by my week one play of only $10,000 from my bank of $24,000 that is set aside for playing earnings. As the weeks progress we will be able to determine which industries are performing the strongest, and make better decisions. But for now it's best to be safe and get a feel for how the market is reacting to quarterly results. The last thing you want is to place all your eggs in one basket and buy a large sum of shares in a company that disappoints; which is why I always try to remind people that this is a marathon not a race and should be judged over a period of several weeks.
Disclosure: I am long AAPL.

Why is Legwand not a letter?
It's not a huge deal, and I'm not complaining. More so just pondering. Here's a guy that's been with the franchise since it's inception. I know he's not Wayne Gretzky to say the least, but for a veteran guy who's been a lifetime Predator I thought he'd be an obvious choice for an A.
As long as I've been watching the team, he's never had one except for here and there when somebody is injured.
But I'm pretty new, and I was just wondering if a more experienced fan could lend some insight as to what it is about Legwand that he's never really been part of the leadership, at least not on his jersey anyway.
From what I've heard, he just doesn't want a letter. He's been offered one. I don't know why he doesn't want a letter.
I think its his choice. I think he doesnt like the pressure.
He is a letter
Legwand never really stuck me as the leader type. He's the kind of guy that goes to work, does his job, then goes home. Nothing more, nothing less.
I can't find any links at the moment, but Trotz has definitely said in the past that Legwand has turned down a letter on multiple occasions.
yes, hes turned it down.
Legwand seems to be more of a behind-the-scenes kind of guy. I'm not surprised that he isn't fond of the idea of wearing a letter on his sweater.
He's not a very good player, not a very good leader, and his lackadaisical attitude is evident on the ice and off the ice. Those are the main reasons.
He's one of the only player's Poile has called out for his lack of effort.
I've never heard such a thing he turned down an letter (other than on this board). I do know he wasn't even in consideration when Sullivan's A became available (Fisher, Erat were).
Maybe he doesn't want an A (not surprising with his attitude), but he shouldn't have one anyway. Last time we saw consistent effort from Legwand was in his contract year. Been a perimeter player ever since (a sucky one at that).
He maybe part of the reason for our mediocre success but he's also a big reason our success is mediocre.
Tell us how you really feel.
He was a poor example off the ice when Belak passed. Took a full page out in the paper, arranged the services, consoled his family yet he's a poor example off the ice. Please. You want to criticize him for what he does on the ice, I can handle that, that's your opinion but when you say he's a poor example off of it, you're taking it too far.
Oh yeah, while we're at it, this is the same guy that played on a torn ACL during the playoffs for the team. Yeah, poor example.
The guy comes to work, is a leader without needing a letter and has been one of the few bright spots lately. I'm not sure what games you've been watching but it apparent that he is busting his tail out there. Because he doesn't light it up like you want him to does not mean he doesn't give a crap.
And yes, Legwand did kick his dog, and his cat, and ferret and his fish, etc..........
Legwand's effort comes and goes. Poile even called him out on it (never heard him personally call out a player). He goes through the motions 80% of the time. The only year he really drove the net was his contract year. He stays on the perimeter the vast majority of time.
He exactly the type of person we need to upgrade. Poile's complacency with these types of players is why Suter and Weber wanted out, and why our team is stuck.
Wow is all I can say about some of the comments here while remaining in the limits of the TOS.
Gee, I thought we had finally gotten beyond making Leggy the whipping boy for the team. It's obvious whenever he's interviewed that the man is shy. He's gotten better, but as a youngster he looked terrified every time a camera came near. He often acts on the ice as if he has an "A", and you can see him talking with the kids on the bench all the time. Just a behind-the-scenes kind of guy.
Organizing a funeral is a bit more on the leadership end of things than just feeling sad, IMHO.
Leggy is an aging mediocre talent with mediocre effort, and we sorely need an upgrade. Call it hate if you want, I call it wanting improvement.
Leggy's time has come. He needs to go to a new team. I have only been following the Preds since 2002 but have always thought he was very nonchalant in his behavior and attitude on the ice. I don't hate or dislike the guy, I just think it is his time to move on. That's all.
I'm pretty sure Legwand has a NTC. I like the guy, I would prefer him to finish his career with the Preds.
As someone pointed out a week or so ago, both Leggy and Fish were in top 30 Center scoring last year; this year both in the top 60. Sorry to put facts out in response to the rhetoric and rants - I hate when people call me out for an opinion that's inconsistent with the facts, too.
An aside - only 19 teams had even 1 C in top 30 in scoring last year. Them both being in top 60 this year would seem to be consistent with what most on the board would say - they solid 2Cs. As much as I'd love a dynamic creator in the middle, they aren't the problem.
On your #5: Is it or is it not relevant in the context of the usual vague accusations of his supposedly being a poor leader?
Seriously. All this is is "he was drafted #2 overall and he's not an All-Star, therefore he sucks and needs to go."
You are also failing to take into account all the centers who didn't play a full schedule who would have easily surpassed Legwand and Fisher had they played a full season: Lecavalier, Koivu, Crosby, Staal, etc.
We had mediocre scoring centers last year, which is about the best we'e ever had and could hope for with these guys.
This year they're at the bottom of the pack. 60th in the league. Likely worst top 2 centers in the league.

Ayushmann Khurrana is a top class entertainer, be it his acting or his singing or his anchoring. Going by his previous movies and the fully faltoo films on MTV, he seems to be most proficient in handling the comedy genre. From being the initially-reluctant-later-professional sperm donor in Vicky Donor, to spoofing Shahrukh Khan and Hritik Roshan in MTV movies to playing a theatre actor in Nautanki Saala Khurrana handles being a comedian with elan. On his birthday, let's see who Ayushmann Khurrana really is.
The actor who turns 28 today has been involved in acting since the time he was in college. He was a founding member of DAV College's Aaghaaz and Manchtantra, which are active theatre groups in Chandigarh. He wrote and acted in street plays and also in national fests at IITs and BITS, Pilani. He also won many prizes for his plays including a best actor award for playing Ashwatthama in Dharamvir Bharati's Andha Yug. He was an RJ with BIG FM in Delhi and he hosted the popular show Big Chai – Maan Na Maan, Main Tera Ayushmann winning the Young Achievers Award in 2007 for it.
His television career was literally kick-started when he was selected for the second season of the popular TV show MTV Roadies in 2004.

The actor from Chandigarh debuted in the feature film Vicky Donor where he plays the role of Vicky Arora- a typical punjabi man who becomes a professional sperm donor. This movie which was the first film produced by John Abraham, was a surprise hit. Khurrana explored his skills in the movie and also turned a musician and a singer when he composed and performed a song "Pani Da Rang" in the movie. He won the Best Singer and the Best Male Debut awards at the Filmfare awards that year in addition to winning many other awards such as the IIFA award for the best newcomer.

The Department of Employment and Economic Development (DEED) has released the list of 90 applicants vying for some $47 million in grant money bequeathed to the Dayton administration by the Republican Legislature last session in the bonding bill.
One of the larger projects — one of a handful included in Democratic Gov. Mark Dayton's bonding bill last session — is a request by the Metropolitan Council for $14 million for the Southwest Light Rail Line.
The proposed 15-mile line is envisioned as running between the City of Eden Prairie and downtown Minneapolis, boasting 17 new stations and a projected weekday ridership of 30,000 by 2030.
The State of Minnesota is expected to kick in $125 million or 10 percent of the estimated total project cost, according to the Met Council.
The project received no funding in the last bonding bill.
Closer to the northwest metro, the cities of Maple Grove and Osseo submitted DEED applications for two constructions projects. Maple Grove is requesting $473,000 for a rebuild of the law enforcement training facility. Osseo is requesting $750,000 to construct a police building.
DEED Commissioner Mark Phillips expressed puzzlement why lawmakers took what he says was the unprecedented step of including a sum in the bonding bill for others to decide how to spend.
"We don't think this is our role," said Phillips, arguing a tradition of legislative control over bonding dating back 150 years had been abandoned.
It defies logic, he said.
Asked how much input Dayton would have on final project selections, Phillips suggested it could be a lot.
Or not much at all.
"Well, I guess as much as he (Dayton) wants," Phillips said.
He indicated the governor and he hadn't talked about the projects to any extent.
All told, the 90 projects totaled some $288 million in requests.
Phillips, in describing how the merits of the proposals would be judged, indicated geographic impact, job-creation potential and certainty of additional, nonstate funding would all be weighed in determining worthiness.
"We want the money to go to work as soon as possible," he said.
Phillips indicated that wastewater projects could fall off the list, because they lack overall economic impact.
Beyond the Southwest Light Rail Line request, other area projects on the list include a City of Big Lake request for $5.3 million for industrial park infrastructure, a request for $3 million from Dakota County for trails and visitor centers, a request from Ramsey County for $5.9 million to acquire and clean up polluted land at the old Twin Cities Army Ammunition Plant in Arden Hills.
Other projects include a $1.5 million request by the City of Edina for a promenade greenway expansion and a $1.3 million request by the City of Bloomington for Bloomington Central Station improvements.
Phillips indicated the administration could make its decisions on the bonding proposals by the end of August, or sooner.
Dayton administration Spokeswoman Katharine Tinucci said the administration would provide more details as the process moves forward.
Some of the larger ticket grant applications were for civic centers.
The City of St. Cloud is requesting $9.6 million for civic center expansion, the City of Rochester $25 million, and the City of Mankato $14.5 million for its civic center project.
But the biggest bonding request came from the City of St. Paul, looking for $27 million for the St. Paul Regional Ballpark for the St. Paul Saints.

Dr. Mitsis states in the article that without the scan, the player might have been treated for possible Alzheimer's disease or even recruited for a clinical trial of an Alzheimer's disease therapy, "which would have been completely inappropriate." Yet the treatment for post-traumatic dementia (which everyone on the treatment team had already agreed upon prior to the scan) and Alzheimer's disease is the same. http://www.dementia.org/types/dementia-pugilistica The scan helped classify the patient for research purposes, but did nothing to alter the underlying treatment or prognosis. In other words, no clinical benefit came from the patient obtaining the Amyvid scan..

I love it!
But I don't know what it is missing... It just need SOMETHING to make it a 10... Perhaps one of my favored piano moments in the middle... The synth fades, the drums are muffled and the piano comes in, nice, strong, and harmonious.
Yeah, that is what it needs.
Thanks ;-)

I like your most recent remix better but this still sounds nice and it was on the top rated so i had to check it out. What synths did you use? They fit together perfectly!!
The synths are layered & mod'ed instruments from Nexus

Im at a loss for words, I really am. This is just to brilliant to describe for me. Its a crime not rating this 5/5. Only thing i wanna say about it though: The ending is kinda sudden and i actually felt sad for a second when it stopped like that :/
P.S How have i NOT seen this before?!!?!
Thanks for the review :D ^^

TONY Smith insists he will only use Warrington Wolves' youngsters sparingly this season.
Forwards George King and Joe Philbin were named in the 19-man squad to face Hull FC on Friday having both made their Super League debuts in recent weeks.
But while Smith says Wolves' injury problems have given the academy graduates a chance to step up, the club's head of coaching and rugby believes too much exposure would not help their development.
"They're terrific young characters and they've earned their right to be there and handled the occasions of their first ever Super League games very. very well," he said.
"The opportunity there through some injuries is a real positive about it, those young guys are stepping up and handling the occasion really well.
"But these guys are still very young, I wouldn't like to have to play them week in, week out for a number of games.
"To expose them to Super League for a few games this season is really good development for them.
"But, and this is no disrespect to either one of those boys, I think to have to play them every week would probably do them a disservice if anything else."

A Wonderful Vacation!: Carnival Victory Cruise Review by dreamgirl1908
Overall Member Rating
A Wonderful Vacation!
Destination: Eastern Caribbean
Embarkation: Miami
1. Stateroom- I stayed in a Balcony room on the 10th floor. I like the floor, because it was close to the lido deck (food and fun). I also enjoyed not having as long of a wait for the elevators. The stateroom attendant wasn't as warm at first, could've been cultural, but turned out to be a really nice guy. He was on top of his job, and our rooms were clean everytime we returned.
2. Food- We ate every morning and afternoon in the Mediterranean Room (9th floor). The lines were outrageous, but what can one expect when there are almost 3,000 passengers on a ship. I did appreciate that there was More an express breakfast line. It was always empty, and I caught onto that by the 2nd day.
The dining room was great. The food was always hot, and the servers were very much concerned with whether we enjoyed our meal or not. They were willing to get us another entree if we were not satisfied with what we had. My absolute favorite dish was the lasagna bolonese(sp?).
The 24 hour room service was a life saver. After an early dinner and late night life, I would return to the room famished. I enjoyed a hot reuben sandwich at night and the service was quick.
3. Decor- I think the Victory is a nice sized beautiful ship. There were bars and lounges that we never knew were there on the first trip. I just can't stand those OLD TVs. My TV was even missing buttons. If nothing else, please change the TVs. It takes away from the beauty of the ship. Less

No one seems to know why Salt Lake City is such fertile ground for ballet-world romance - but if you sense love in the air during Ballet West performances, it's not just your imagination
No one seems to know why Salt Lake City is such fertile ground for ballet-world romance - but if you sense love in the air during Ballet West performances, it's not just your imagination
Ballet West's production of "Cinderella" ends with the betrothal of a transformed scullery maid to the dashing prince who loved her at first sight - and the promise of "happily ever after" for the fairy-tale pair.
Audiences might notice more than the usual romantic chemistry between Cinderella and her prince on opening night: Christiana Bennett and Christopher Ruud are in love in the real world and understand challenges that begin where fairy tales leave off.
The Ballet West company is rife with couples, a phenomenon that isn't unique among dance companies, said artistic director Adam Sklute. He believes dancers tend to pair off with each other because their careers are so all-consuming, and their ballet world so insular.
Some directors discourage romantic relationships within companies because of tension that can arise over partnering and personnel decisions, Sklute said. But he believes that having married couples at Ballet West is "a wonderful thing" that can help dancers endure the rigors of their profession.
"To me, people's private lives are their private lives," he said. "I treat each dancer as an individual."
Bennett and Ruud met in 1999 as dancers in the Ballet West company, rose through the ranks on a similar trajectory, and married in 2005. Instead of falling in love at first sight, as Cinderella and her prince do, the two tangled on the day they met over who would stand where at the Ballet West rehearsal barre.
"She's stubborn and could match my confidence and stubbornness," said Ruud, whose roguish reputation was known to Bennett before she met him. "I was drawn to her strong personality - and her beautiful blue eyes."
When Bennett and Ruud were paired early on for "The Nutcracker's" sultry Arabian Dance, Bennett's mother made an observation that caught her daughter off guard:
"You two have such chemistry," she said.
Bennett and Ruud were each ending prior relationships when they were partnered as Demetrius and Helena for a production of "A Midsummer Night's Dream" in 2001. A spark of romantic tension, probably always present in their teasing friendship, caught fire. After three years of constant togetherness in the studio, the two held few illusions about each other.
"Ballet companies are incestuous," said Bennett. "We're together all the time, every day, all day."
"You check your social pretensions at the door," said Ruud of life in a ballet studio. "We're standing around in tights all day."
For another Ballet West couple, the storybook love at first sight actually happened. Michael Bearden can point to the spot where he was standing on his first day at Ballet West when Victoria Lock walked through the studio door. The first words he spoke to her were asking her to dance with him during a rehearsal, and the two have been together ever since; they married in 2005.
But living happily ever after requires building a life together outside the ballet studio, Lock and Bearden say. They take classes together, travel and find common ground in their shared faith and love of family.
"We're lucky," said Lock. "Our personalities mesh well, and it's not all based around ballet."
Ballet mistress Pamela Robinson-Harris said casting decisions don't consider dancers' status as couples - it's the look of the dancers together that counts most. She doesn't know why Ballet West is such a hot spot for ballet couples, but she's not surprised: She met her husband, Jeffrey Harris, while both were performing with Ballet West.
"You spend so many hours of the day with these people," Robinson-Harris said. "At the end of the day you are tired. You need to eat, rest and revitalize. Finding the opportunity to get out and meet someone is difficult. Plus, dancers like dancers' bodies, and personalities. In a relationship with another dancer, you don't have to try and explain why it's so important to do this. They just understand."
But love isn't always convenient in the world of ballet. Careers are sometimes sacrificed for marriages.
In 2005, principal ballerina Kristin Hakala retired at the cusp of her ballet career when her husband, principal dancer Tong Wang, left Ballet West to pursue graduate studies in Ohio. All of Ballet West's current couples realize that what affects one will affect the other, too.
Nicholas James Smith and Kira Smith face such a moment. Nicholas just learned that his Ballet West contract will not be renewed next year. Meanwhile, Kira is enjoying increased visibility in the company.
"We had envisioned certain plans, and those will change," Nicholas Smith said. "Dancing is our livelihood, and we have to replace it."
Nicholas Smith has been working toward an MBA degree. The couple hope to remain in Salt Lake City, for now, and will treasure their time together at Ballet West.
"Ballet is what brought us together and gave us some of our best memories," Kira Smith said.

Men in tights - and skirts
Ballet West gave Ben Stevenson's ballet version of "Cinderella" its Utah premiere in 2005.
Stevenson leavens the story of poor, abused Cinderella's rise to royalty by casting male dancers in the roles of the gauche stepsisters. The men in tights - and skirts and pumps - add a swath of broad comedy.
"Men bring humor to it," Stevenson told The Tribune in 2005. "When it's done by ladies, you have two horrible witches going after Cinderella. It doesn't go with the music, which is light and humorous."

Think starting a family means boxing up your gear and putting an end to your travels? From three moms raising their kids on a healthy diet of exploration to the motocross family revolutionizing an industry, here are the inspiring families helping us forget one of the most persistent and antiquated tropes in outdoor adventure.
The family who sold everything for a year of adventure
As a young family with two small children, the Gees (above) had almost accepted it was time to settle down and build a house. Instead, they sold everything they owned to finance a six-month adventure around the Pacific Ocean.
They call themselves the Bucket List Family, and following them on Instagram is enough to make you want to have a brood of your own and set sail on an epic family adventure.
Identical triplets traveling the world together
With full-time jobs and different home bases, it's not easy for triplet sisters Kylie, Lisa and Megan to arrange a call, let alone plan a trip. But logistics haven't stopped the sisters from racking up a list of joint sojourns so long they had to alphabetize it.
The father-daughter team exploring all seven continents
For National Geographic explorer Mike Libecki, the apple didn't fall far from the tree. His 11-year-old daughter, Lilliana, is a worldly preteen who's joined in his expeditions to all seven continents. The duo most recently scaled the world's tallest freestanding mountain, Mt. Kilimanjaro.
The family solving some big motocross industry problems
When Michael Leib's parents decided to support his professional racing career, they knew they'd have to sacrifice financial stability and certain aspects of their children's schooling. But, somewhere along the line, they decided to get a little more proactive about it.
From restructuring the way competitive athletes get their education to putting sponsorships back in the hands of the riders, the Leibs aren't ones to settle for the status quo.
Three moms making their kids' outdoor education a priority
Morgan Brechler became a household name (at least for a day) when a social-media photo of her 4-year-old daughter rock climbing went viral. She'll join fellow moms Brooke Gaynes and Shannon Robertson in the upcoming film Born Wild, an effort to inspire more parents to introduce their kids to the outdoors.

New York City, May 20, 2014
★★★★ Any plausible reason for walking would do. Certainly taking the 1 train would have been senseless. People were out in the sun wearing earbuds, talking into dangling wires, tethered to routine or duty as lightly as possible. A pair of pristine landscaping trucks stood beside Dante Park, delivering new plantings, spring sprouted by subcontractor. A gangling cop in dark short sleeves crossed the street with an oddly deferential jaywalker's jog; CNN interviewed average people on the street about something about their iPhones. The green retinal glow from the daylight lingered all the way down the steps, through the mezzanine, down the second set of steps, and into the waiting subway car. Crumbs of cloud were scattered above downtown. The retinal afterglow floated up the office stairway. It seemed worthwhile to walk the dozen or so blocks to the used bookstore, for a volume listed online as in stock, and it was almost even worthwhile to walk back empty-handed when the book couldn't be found. Whenever the air threatened to get hot, breeze and shade intervened, and whenever it threatened to get chilly, the sun came on again. Only the clouded and colorless evening was a disappointment, a slacking off after such scrupulousness.

Experts with their fingers on the pulse of building, selling, renting, finance, architecture and design give their views on what will happen in the property market next year, including after the general election in May. Whatever else they predict, they all agree interest rates are likely to stay stable — it appears that into 2015, it will remain a good time to buy.
Naomi Heaton chief executive of LCP, prime London specialist
"London's tale is one of two cities. There is Greater London — the domestic market with eight million people buffeted by national economic highs and lows. Then there is prime central London, a world-class destination, international not national, with just 6,000 sales a year.
"This year has been good for both. Average prices in prime central London increased 12.8 per cent, hitting £1.7 million. The rest of London has seen 10.7 per cent growth and a high of £514,516.
"There are now signs of a slowdown in Greater London, stretched to its limits of affordability. Prime central London may also taper off over the next six months as pre-election jitters traditionally see transactions fall 15 per cent. Buyers and investors might wait and see but London has strong 'pull factors.' It is a safe haven, a go-to destination, and a financial hotspot.
"In the private rented sector where properties trade under £2 million any hold-back will be more temporary. It falls outside threatened property taxes and the new non-resident capital gains tax caused no ripples.
"Sterling is set to remain low. This will only increase prime central London's attraction for international buyers and there will be rich pickings for investors there next year, as short-term price discounts present a buying opportunity before the usual post-election bounce."

Robert Bartlett chief executive officer of Chestertons
"Rate of house-price growth will slow but there will be growth across London of about 6.6 per cent in sales and three per cent in lettings, because of supply and demand: London's population growth is accelerating. The Greater London Authority forecasts 49,000 new London households a year, but the London Plan only allows for 42,000 new homes per year from 2015.
"There will be a slow start up to the general election. The election will no doubt have a tax effect. Whether it is mansion tax from Labour, increased council tax from the Lib-Dems or capital gains tax on foreign buyers — probably a mix of all three."
Geeta Nanda chief executive of Thames Valley Housing Association
"Those on average incomes will continue to rent, and stay longer in rented accommodation. Shared ownership will become more popular with those on average incomes to get on the housing ladder and have some security.
"Prices will carry on rising, although more slowly, as interest rates will remain competitive and those able to borrow find it is cheaper to buy. Those looking to invest will still trust bricks and mortar. There will be an increasing move to the suburbs as people weigh up cost versus space, and developers move out."
Stephen Williams of Brewin Dolphin, housebuilding specialists
"I'm expecting house prices to continue to fall overall in London, especially at the top of the market. But sales in the suburbs are going to be stronger, so prices there will stay up.
"Availability of finance is going to increase in terms of mortgages. There is political pressure to improve lending. There's a good market for mortgages and good deals to be had. This will continue. The banks had factored an interest rate rise into their prices already, so rates will hold longer than people think."
Christophe Egret partner in award-winning practice Egret West
"London flats are smaller than those in much of Europe, so architects and designers will find ingenious solutions to use space. There will be more flip-up beds, sliding walls and folding furniture. And, because of sophisticated sprinklers, the old lobby will be removed. So the layout of flats will get smarter and work harder.
"Residential buildings will get taller. There are now a lot more residential towers above 20 storeys, in places such as Canary Wharf and Millharbour. This trend will continue next year as tower blocks with attitude become sought-after homes. The private rental market is growing and becoming an established lifetime alternative to buying, so more builders will build for the rental sector. You need good-quality construction in build-to-rent, as these are long-term prospects, so construction quality will improve."
Rob Perrin managing director of Berkeley Homes
"Everyone is determined that London will get more homes built, and completions next year will go through the roof. We [the developers] have all got spades in the ground and we won't slow down. We know that housing is the critical issue. We need to speed up the process — quicker decisions from councils and less noise from the Bank of England. Local authorities and builders need to forge better, efficient collaborations.
"I don't think we'll see an interest rate rise in 2015. There's no justification for an increase. There is uncertainty about the general election in May but all parties are going to do broadly the same thing. The market and house prices are going to be a lot more stable than people think."

Puddle jumping
39 comments:
These are really stunning. I really love the water! (and congrats on the shallower stabbing!)ReplyDelete
Absolutely lovely! That last puddle is phenomenal. Makes me want to improve my embroidery skills straight away!!ReplyDelete
Love the puddles! Excellent! I'm glad you got away. Happy Mama = happy children. :)ReplyDelete
Your embroidery skills are fantastic!ReplyDelete
I love the puddles.
Gorgeous embroideries - I think they look lovely simplay framed in the hoops.ReplyDelete
I have had 2 nights away from my two, both for work (so without my husband). I couldn't wait to get home which probably makes me a bit sad (UK rather than US meaning ;-)
thank you for you to make me learn more,thank you∩0∩ReplyDelete
I am loving your embroidery. They look good in the embroidery hoops as frames.ReplyDelete
Your embroidery is amazing. Love that the picks are your doodles. As a fellow Brit who lives across an ocean from her parents too I know how you feel about leaving the kids. :)ReplyDelete
Ah, yes, the night away! My two are horrendous sleepers so even though Isla's now 5, we've hardly done it more than a handful of times either, coz I just always felt dreadful about leaving some poor person to get up 3 times a night and then at 5am...!!ReplyDelete
LOVE those doodles, they are really lovely pictures.
Do the Americans not have a word for lie-in?!??!?!?! Gosh. I now have national laziness paranoia.
x x x
Last time we stayed away I was so wound up by the idea that I could have a lie in that I couldn't get to sleep till 4;30am. I really begrudged paying for a room I sat and read in while dh snored!ReplyDelete
WOW! I know I'm just saying the same thing, but the contrast between the subtle puddles and the red silhouettes is just perfect.ReplyDelete
These are amazing! So lovely.ReplyDelete
The stitcheries are wonderful!!!ReplyDelete
Loved your story of getting away. I can remember those days of wanting to sleep in without little ones. Nowadays, we still can't sleep in. Guess you just get into the mode of rising early with little ones.
Your embroidery is totally amazing!! The puddles are extraordinary! Getting away is so important, glad you had your first one. In eleven years we've only had two! I think we're due another and you just reminded me.ReplyDelete
so glad you got out, so glad you got to wear a dress and SO LOVE this little puddle jumper. the water is FANTASTIC and red and grey is a favorite combo of mine.ReplyDelete
The embroideries are lovely - I think they'll look great displayed in the hoop.ReplyDelete
We haven't had a night out on our own since Nipper was born - we didn't even spend our wedding night on our own.
We went to a family 'do' recently and I had a nice skirt and top but needed to wear a bit of 'structured' underwear, shall we say, to squash down the post baby tummy. My god it nearly killed me. I was so uncomfortable and couldn't wait to get back home and into my jeans and t-shirt!
I heart heart heart these little stitch doodles! The red is stunning and the subject matter couldn't be more charming.ReplyDelete
Oh my kids are just like that too. Up at the crack of dawn, crawling into my bed and fidgeting like crazy until I get up. And yet, I find it so hard to leave them for a night too:)ReplyDelete
Love the embroidery. Beautiful.
Adorable. Makes me want to embroider more.ReplyDelete
My hubby is taking me out tonight for a real date and I want to dress up but I only have one dress (tells you how often I get dressed up) and it is the same one I have worn to everything for the last few years. Luckily they were different functions with different people!
What sweet embroidery scenes. I'm blown away by the puddle in the last one too.ReplyDelete
Oh yes, the kids think it is a treat too to have their parents go away once in a while!
You've been nominated for a blog award on my blog. Don't feel obligated to participate. I just wanted you to know how much I enjoy the cute things you make!!ReplyDelete
Great little embroideries - they will make lovely pics for your daughter's room.ReplyDelete
Your embroideries are incredible - I love the texture of the water in them. And hooray on your child free time too!ReplyDelete
Hi there! Elissa at Birch Swinging suggested I stop by your blog, as a fellow transplant from England whose husband is also into geeky games! I am also having to relearn my language with a three year old who tells me "non Mommy, not trousers, pants!" I am not at all creative but love the pieces you have made for the wall here!ReplyDelete
Love the embroideries! They're absolutely adorable. I like how you did line drawing for everything but the puddles.ReplyDelete
We live a couple states away from both of our parents so I understand how difficult it is to get away. You both want to and feel uncomfortable with it. But it's worth it. For their independence as well as your own. Not saying that I do it often (like once in the last 5 yrs, but I've got a trip later this month too!)
I love these!! I love the redwork mixed with the white/grey! Well stitched!ReplyDelete
These are just gorgeous Dawn, your drawings and embroidery are fab. Would you ever consider drawing patterns to share?! Re the "lie in", I had never really realised this wasn't a North American expression. My son is a very early riser too and in the very rare instance he has a lie in, (ie to 6:30am) he proudly announces to everyone that he's had a "lion".ReplyDelete
These are so very lovely!ReplyDelete
Lovely. They are so beautiful, your daughter is very fortunate.ReplyDelete
oh yeah...i think you and your husband need to get out more ;)ReplyDelete
these embroideries are SO sweet! you should definately enter them in the feeling stitchy rainbow of stitches contest
Really incredible job!!! You are inspiring me to do a project from that embroidery book I bought a year ago...ReplyDelete
I love the last one - the puddle is very cool.ReplyDelete
I love the one of her splashing!ReplyDelete
I love the puddle jumpers!ReplyDelete
I just simply adore....they are amazing and magical and the last one 'wow!!'ReplyDelete
Nina x
these are fabulous - i'd love to be able to turn something i'd doodled into embroidery, how do you do this?! do you just sew over the outline?!ReplyDelete
i am in awe! :)
A-D-O-R-A-B-L-E! Really, so cute!ReplyDelete
Absolutely lovely! That last puddle is phenomenal.ReplyDelete

Is the JobCentre an appropriate setting for psychological assessment and treatment? Is therapy entered into under any form of coercion, real or perceived, likely to be legitimate or ethical?
Animal cruelty crimes should be treated with the same seriousness as crimes against humans, claims leading psychologist Professor Eleonora Gullone.
There is a strong link between positive psychological adjustment to a death and one's ability to deal with of the loss through one's faith and religious practices, says Andrew J Weaver, a United Methodist minister and professional research psychologist.
War is hellish and so are its consequences, says Andrew Weaver. As the next anniversary of the Iraq war looms, the pastoral and psychological needs of veterans must not be forgotten.

I was in an accidcent and I did not know that my insurance had lapsed. The other party was at fault. What does the insurance company legally need to pay for?
Essentially everything except damages for "pain and suffering" (i.e. Discomfort). Therefore, all of your medical bills, lost wages, medication expenses, etc., are recoverable.See question
A class action is where there are multiple Plaintiffs (like your boyfriend). If your boyfriend wants to sue multiple Defendants (like the gang members), it is a regular lawsuit. With that in mind, the prison guards, the County, and the State may also be defendants. Therefore, your boyfriend may have a Government Claim, which has a statute of limitations of only six months. It is absolutely crucial that you contact a personal injury attorney, like myself, immediately to preserve your boyfriends claim.See question
responsibility laws say your supposed to carry this at all time. Can I still sue for damages even though I don't have insurance. Is there a law that allows me to claim or am I not allowed to? Bless you.
Absolutely, you can make a claim and recover for your money damages. However, you can only recover for your actual monetary losses. This means that you can seek reimbursement of your medical expenses, loss of earnings, loss of earnings capacity, etc. However, you can not recover for your pain and suffering. This is unfortunate because, in these types of cases, pain and suffering damages can comprise a substantial portion of the case. The reason for this limitation is prop 213.See question
I ve got into a car accident while driving the loaner car that my dealer gave me while my car is under regular maintenance. After I returned my loaner car. The dealership has called my insurance company for the claim and my insurance called me to...
No. As a general rule, you should never give a recorded statement to insurance. Recorded statements are often used as a tactic by insurance companies to find discrepancies in your story and devalue the claim. You should consult with a personal injury attorney directly to discuss the facts of the case and determine a strategic course of action.See question

Moneyball star Brad Pitt, 48, covers the latest issue of The Hollywood Reporter and opens up about marrying longtime love Angelina Jolie, adding to their brood, and his experiences with "dope" and depression.
On marrying Angelina Jolie: "We'd actually like to, and it seems to mean more and more to our kids. We made this declaration some time ago that we weren't going to do it till everyone can. But I don't think we'll be able to hold out. It means so much to my kids, and they ask a lot. And it means something to me, too, to make that kind of commitment."
On having more kids: "We haven't closed the book on it. There's a really nice balance in the house right now, but if we see the need and get that lightning bolt that says, 'We can help this person; we could do something here,' then absolutely."
On depression and 'dope': "I got really sick of myself at the end of the 1990s: I was hiding out from the celebrity thing; I was smoking way too much dope; I was sitting on the couch and just turning into a doughnut; and I really got irritated with myself," he says. "I got to: 'What's the point? I know better than this.' I used to deal with depression, but I don't now, not this decade — maybe last decade. But that's also figuring out who you are. I see it as a great education, as one of the seasons or a semester: 'This semester I was majoring in depression.' I was doing the same thing every night and numbing myself to sleep — the same routine: Couldn't wait to get home and hide out. But that feeling of unease was growing and one night I just said, 'This is a waste.' "

You might think the 2010 Land Cruiser is one safe beast due to its size, and that's a fair assumption, though it hasn't been tested yet. It does come standard with electronic stability control, traction control, driver and front passenger active front headrests, driver and front passenger knee bags, first- and second-row outboard thorax side airbags, three-row roll-sensing side curtain airbags, and multiterrain anti-lock braking.
Car and Driver highlights the Land Cruiser's "barrage of airbags." That's 10 airbags, to be exact, including knee airbags for both front occupants, two rows of side impact airbags, and three-row curtain airbags.
Even with stability and traction control, the Land Cruiser is a heavy, tall SUV, and rollovers are therefore a real risk in the event of a crash. Bigger may feel safer, but that's not always the case when the rubber leaves the road and the metal meets it.
Still, the Land Cruiser should prove as tough as any SUV. Edmunds points out a stiffened frame that enhances crashworthiness and provides a foundation for the other safety feature to do their jobs, like the optional precollision system, "which cinches the front seatbelts when the various electronic sensors detect skidding or sudden hard braking."

sample the album:
"Invenio ergo sum. There's a formulation that takes us briskly on to third-personal facts, or - as on this CD - three persons whose reciprocal existence is a process of discovery and learning: a heuristic process, in Eddie Prévost's favoured term. It's a process that can only be enacted in what Prévost has called the 'extra-personal life of community', by which he means not just the 'collective' but also the communities-at-large that define us as social as well as thinking animals. As an improviser with deep roots in jazz and other musics, Prévost has always been acutely conscious of a perceived tension between the apparently radical individualism of the 'free' improviser, who can seem bound up in sober introspection, and the philosophical fake-book of styles, genres, repertoire, a canon. He calls for resistance to any process which threatens to ossify rules of conduct into 'self-deceiving patterns of conceit'. Anyone with even a vague grounding in Descartes will jump on one word there. 'Deceiving' is a strong echo - conscious or otherwise - of Descartes' starting point, the possibility that God is a Great Deceiver and what we call reality a treacherous slide-show of substanceless images, the propaganda of non-entity. Cartesian doubt relieves itself by reminding itself that it's thinking and therefore all's well. Eddie Prévost's music, whether as a founding member of AMM or as leader of other, more obviously jazz-inflected projects, is always in some sense communitarian in spirit - that is what most aligns it to jazz of the classic period - and egoless in approach. It is never conversational or phatic, rarely confrontational in the slacker construction of that word, which implies hostility, and never so obsessed with novelty that it loses sight of a lengthening tradition of discourse.
Arguably, Prévost's most important work of recent years has been his weekly workshop in London, now in place for almost a decade and with a remarkable 250-plus musicians on its past and present roll. The present project sees him working with two of its alumni, now unquestionably claiming postgraduate status. Saxophonist Seymour Wright has emerged as the most important saxophonist of his generation. It's tempting to suggest that he stands as successor/rival to Evan Parker and John Butcher, but it's more accurate to suggest that in his recent practice and in his unfashionable insistence that what he plays is jazz, rather than 'free music' or any other niche definition, he represents an alternative to those senior Englishmen, whose respectively evolving languages perhaps dominate our sense of what creative saxophone playing sounds like. In his still thinly documented work - on the Matchless Hornbill set, on his own Seymour Wright of Derby and in collaboration with pianist+ Sebastian Lexer on blasen - Wright shows a command of the saxophone which in contrast to most 'non-idiomatic' playing - cynically translated as 'make your saxophone sound like anything other than a saxophone' - has deep roots in a tradition of playing that goes back to Frankie Trumbauer, Coleman Hawkins and Willie Smith. It's quite possible that in a gaggle of younger players, Wright would be the only one to namecheck the first and last of these. As his SUM colleage Ross Lambert puts it, Wright is the encyclopaedist, historically astute, connected and engaged.
Lambert is from Ballygawley, a corner of Northern Ireland that, as he explains, offered few opportunities to hear jazz on any regular basis. While Wright certainly doesn't sound like a man who carries his record collection on his back, Lambert is that rare individual these days, a jazz musician who doesn't necessarily have any formal founding in the tradition. He admits to listening only to important records and then rarely, and considers a focus on the politics and practice of experimental music more important than documenting his work. If all this, and the fact that he plays guitar, which has often been a fifth column instrument in jazz, smuggling in energies from other forms, suggests a man who has declared his own Year Zero and separated himself from any existing performance practice, the impression is faulty and incomplete. Whatever its source, Lambert's music belongs in a long community of practice on this hearing. [...]"-Brian Morton

How do you find a doctor that won't pre-judge a recovering addict as someone who is just looking for pills?
She has constant, chronic pain, and wants help with pain management. She has never asked for narcotics, and doesn't want them. She is my hero in continually overcoming her addiction to pain pills. But she is continually typecast by doctors as someone who is just looking for pills, and they don't even want to talk with her. Not all of her doctors, but two in the past month have refused to treat her without even an exam or talking about her problems. How can we find a doctor and "prescreen" them for being accepting and understanding of someone's past, and not blackball them for past actions?

New Delhi: Accepting one's follies is often the key to achieving great things.
And Delhi opener Shikhar Dhawan doesn't shy away from confessing that a lack of maturity and inconsistency is the prime reason that he hasn't yet taken the leap from the domestic to the international stage successfully.
Speaking to MAIL TODAY, the newly-married Dhawan said that over the years, he has been guilty of not only throwing his wicket away, but also of not scoring big runs on a consistent basis.
"Over the years, I have always ended up throwing my wicket away. I shall say it was my immaturity that I never valued the importance of staying at the crease and making hay while the sun shines," he said.
"I have had opportunities here and there, but I haven't been consistent enough to stake my claim for a permanent spot in the Indian team. You have to score 1,000-1,500 runs in a domestic season on a regular basis."
Dhawan says he realised the importance of being consistent during his tour of West Indies with the national team last year.
"That tour was an eye-opener for me. I scored a fifty in the opening match of the series, but failed to convert it into a three-figure score. I should have scored a couple more fifties and maybe I would have been a part of the ODI team that toured England. But I failed to grasp the opportunity and I haven't received another one since," he said.
But now, interactions with Virender Sehwag have really helped Dhawan cleared his mind.
"I interacted quite a lot with Viru bhai recently and he made one thing very clear to me. He said that every time a batsman goes out to bat, he should think of it as the only opportunity to show the world how good a batsman he is," the 26-year-old left-handed batsman said.
"I feel that has really made me value my wicket and now whenever I go out to the middle, I try and put a heavy price-tag on my wicket."
Being a nationally contracted player, he can train at the National Cricket Academy (NCA) in Bangalore whenever he wants, and he feels training with Yuvraj Singh the last time he was there has also made him realise the importance of self-introspection.
"Yuvi paji was at the NCA when I went there last time and the experience I had was amazing. Having battled cancer himself, he does know what fighting adversity means and all he told me was that we should always sit down and think about the mistakes we are committing," he said.

2012 Chevrolet Suburban Test Drive & SUV Car Video Review
http://www.autobytel.com/chevrolet/suburban-1500/2012/?id=32972 Want to know the oldest nameplate in Automotive History? The Suburban has been around since 1935 and over the years it has been billed as a carryall vehicle. The 2012 Chevrolet Suburban is a full sized SUV that provides seating for 7, a big V-8 engine, and a high tow payload capacity. This full-size SUV is easy to drive with good acceleration, braking, and handling abilities. The base price for a 2012 Chevrolet Suburban is $42,220 with the top of the line LTZ 4x4 costing $58,115. On the outside the Suburban is known for its rugged good looks. Chevy added some nice lines to break up the big boxy look. Up front the chrome grille and big headlights look good. The 18-inch aluminum wheels look nice but you can upgrade to 20-inch or 22-inch wheels. The interior of the Suburban is very functional and you can upgrade to a higher trim level or add additional packages to meet your level of luxury. The 2012 Chevrolet Suburban can seat up to 8 or 9 passengers. There are modern conveniences like a driver information center complete with large screen and navigation. The seats are heated and cooled. There is also an nice DVD entertainment system for both the 2nd and 3rd row of passengers. The 2012 Chevy Suburban is motivated by a Vortec 5.3 liter V-8 engine that makes 320 horsepower and 335 lb-ft. of torque. The maximum towing capacity is 8100 lbs. There is a heavy duty trailering package available for only $230 that adds an oil cooler for the engine and an oil cooler for the transmission oil. The package also adds a 3.42 rear axle ratio. The Suburban has a couple of fuel saving techniques that include an Active Fuel Management system which turns-off 4 cylinders under light use. Fuel economy ratings check in at 15 MPG in the city and 22 MPG on the highway. If you need a full-size SUV that can fit all your family and friends along with your necessary luggage and can also tow your toys out back, the 2012 Chevrolet Suburban is for you.

Angels are celestial beings that live in the extra-dimensional realm of Heaven. They were created by God with the sole purpose to serve Him. They were charged with protecting mankind from the evils of the universe. However, some of the angels were jealous of the humans and attempted to rebel against their Father lead by Lucifer but they were cast out of heaven to the extra-dimensional realm known as Hell. Over time these fallen angels became Demons. These two factions have been at war for over one million years.[citation needed]

Powers and Abilities
The appearance of angels are widely varied and many seem able to alter their appearance at will, but most favor beautiful humanoid forms with large, birdlike wings protruding from their shoulder blades. They are immortal and do not age.
Angels, depending on their ranking in the hierarchy of heaven, have varying levels of superhuman capabilities. They have been known to fire bolts of heavenly fire from their hands or summon burning swords at will. They can make themselves invisible to humans, although rare sensitives may still see them.
Many angels can generate illusions and compel humans to obey their will, and some can resurrect the dead by sharing their own divine essence with the deceased.

I've been organizing rallies at Mexican consulates to help free Marine Andrew Tahmooressi from the Mexican prison. As most know by now, Andrew missed a u-turn and ended up in Mexico with 3 legal firearms for which he was arrested. He's been in Mexican prisons for 51 days.
Andrew's family is helping us with the rallies, and his mother Jill has a request. She started a White House petition in the hope that it would reach 100k signatures, and that the administration would address the issue. The family is hoping this will help get Andrew released. I told the family I'd post the petition to a few sites I write for, so, here it is.
Sign the White House Petition Here.
Please sign the petition, and share it with as many people as you can. It has until May 31st to reach 100k signatures.
The petition has got over 30,000 new signatures since our national rally we held at Mexican consulates on May 19th.
Thanks for your help!

Steroids are associated with a myriad of post-transplant side effects. Therefore, as new immunosuppressive drugs have been developed, attempts have been made to minimize steroid exposure. Sirolimus (SRL) has been demonstrated to have efficacy in early and late post-transplant immunosuppression. Accordingly, numerous trials have studied steroid minimization (early and late post-transplant) in the context of SRL-containing protocols (either with or without a calcineurin inhibitor). We herein review these trials and show that recent studies have determined that both late steroid withdrawal and early rapid discontinuation can be successful with SRL immunosuppression.

Deletion rationale Edit
See talk:Didactic theatre, no canon evidence of terminology. --Alan 16:23, 23 December 2008 (UTC)
Discussion Edit
- Delete. Not in canon.--31dot 18:55, 23 December 2008 (UTC)
- Delete. -- Renegade54 19:37, 23 December 2008 (UTC)
- Keep. Although it does not appear as a line in the episode, It does appear in the script. As such it is referenced to by other episodes in generic terms such as "entertainment," "theater," or "performance." However with the inclusion of the information from the script of "Return to Grace" we get more insight on this. Perhaps we should just state it was a line removed from the final cut?--Jlandeen 10:45, 3 January 2009 (UTC)
- The problem there is that we don't keep stuff referenced like that as their own articles. To my mind, it should be merged into the episode page and deleted. -- sulfur 13:50, 3 January 2009 (UTC)
- Delete. "Didactic theatre" might not be any more of a real distinct term than are "bad movie" or "hot coffee". We can't take any old adjective and noun stuck together in a script and call it an article. --TribbleFurSuit 15:32, 14 January 2009 (UTC)
Admin resolution Edit
- Merged the line about the script removed bit into the episode, removed the rest. All gone. -- sulfur 16:10, 14 January 2009 (UTC)

I like mid-century modernist work - there's something brash about it in an almost naive kind of way. Also note that the images come from the building's former life as the Hummingbird Centre (I'll have to get some of my own soon) From a media release:
October 12, 2010
(TORONTO, ON)... As part of its 50th anniversary season celebrations, the Sony Centre For The Performing Arts presents an extensive exhibition of the work of painter/muralist R. York Wilson beginning Friday, October 15, 2010. R. York Wilson's mural The Seven Lively Arts, has dominated the lobby of the Sony Centre For The Performing Arts since it was first unveiled on October 1, 1960. The stunning 15 ft x 100 ft panorama of the arts through the ages remains a focal point of the Sony Centre's newly renovated lobby and is the centerpiece of the exhibition.
The Seven Lively Arts is made up of seven panels painted in an abstract, highly modernist style, each focusing on one of the lively arts, which include: painting, sculpture, architecture, music, literature, dance, drama. At the time of its completion in 1960, it was the largest mural in Canada and deemed an important contribution to Canadian art.
The exhibition entitled Extended Vision: The Art of Painter/Muralist R. York Wilson opens on Friday, October 15th, 2010 in the Sony Centre For The Performing Arts gallery (1 Front Street East) and runs until July 2011. Curated by Jim Miller, the exhibition includes over 100 original works drawn from the private collection of Lela Wilson, the artist's wife, and offers a glimpse of York Wilson's creative explorations from 1927 to 1981.
"My aim with this exhibition is to capture a sense of York Wilson's extraordinary work - as a muralist, a painter and commercial artist - to offer a glimpse of what made him one of Canada's leading artists," said Jim Miller, an award-winning artist, curator and filmmaker. Following the opening of Extended Vision: The Art of Painter/Muralist R. York Wilson, Miller will be working with his partner, director Roz Owen, to complete Portrait of Resistance, a feature documentary about artist-activists Carole Condé and Karl Beveridge.
York and Lela Wilson travelled and lived in many parts of the world. These journeys fueled York Wilson's creative explorations as is evident in exhibit sections featuring paintings from Mexico, ink drawings from Paris, and his brush paintings from Japan.
The segments of the exhibition about his mural works include preparatory studies Wilson made for the The Seven Lively Arts mural and documentary photos of its making. Photographer Vid Ingelevics has documented some of York Wilson's other mural work, notably The Story of Oil at the former Imperial Oil head office, and these images are featured in the exhibition along with some of Wilson's work as a commercial artist.
About R. York Wilson
R. York Wilson was awarded the mural commission to produce The Seven Lively Arts by a prestigious search committee headed by the renowned A. J. Casson from the Group of Seven. As Wilson was recognized for his modernist abstract style, his artistic vision was well suited with the building's architectural and interior design. At the age of 16, Wilson began work as a commercial artist and there encountered established artists and mentors including A.J. Casson and Charles Comfort. In the 1960s, Wilson was internationally renowned and his work flew off gallery walls and into private and corporate collections. Reviews of his work had catapulted him to the top of the Canadian art world. Wilson was exhibiting his paintings internationally and had competed several successful murals, most notably for the Redpath Library at Montreal's McGill University and the Imperial Oil Building in Toronto. In 1978, Marshall McLuhan wrote that his abstractions were "dramatic and majestic." The Uffizi Gallery in Florence commissioned Wilson to paint a self-portrait in 1981 to hang in its Vasari Corridor alongside such greats as Michelangelo and Leonardo da Vinci, making him one of only two Canadians to be so honoured (the other is David Blackwood). Before his death in 1984 at the age of 76, Wilson was acclaimed as one of Canada's greatest muralists.

A former meals on wheels driver who "always had a smile" on her face has died, writes Nazia Dewji.
Susan Richens, who worked for Surbiton care home Newent House and delivered meals to residents living in care or alone, died in hospital, aged 67, after contracting septicaemia on June 21.
Her niece Kellie Pocock said: "She always had a smile. She was quite mischievous and when she got with her siblings there would always be mucking about and pranks played.
"There was more than one occasion when Sue unplugged full freezers and forgot to plug them back in resulting in mammoth cooking and eating sessions.
"She also convinced me, when I was 15 or 16, that her car had a sensitive windscreen. I didn't realise cars had timers on their windscreen wipers and she told such a convincing story that I honestly believed the car counted raindrops and every time it reached 100 they would swish.
"My mum and Sue would sit there going 99... 100 as the wipers went over... fooled me for a long time."
Susan, an identical twin, was born to parents Gladys Richens and Thomas Richens in Chessington.
The family, including Susan's twin Ann, and their other siblings Jeanette, Teddy, Tommy and David, moved to Kirkuk in Iraq for their father's work, but the family later returned to Romney Road in Chessington where Sue lived out her life.
Speaking of her mother and Susans's similarities, Mrs Pocock said: "Sue and Ann went to school at Moor Lane and Chessington Girls' School where they would swap subjects to help each other.
"The teachers didn't know because they were so alike."
She said some of her fondest memories of her aunt included day trips to the seaside, Chessington Zoo and having a bite to eat in Tolworth before heading out to the shops on a Saturday.
Susan who was a keen darts player and loved animals, did not marry or have any children.
She leaves behind 14 nieces and nephews.

Lately, consumers have found Apple in the news a lot, with the company's new set of colorful iPhones and metro-style iOS 7. Now the tech giant has released Apple OS X Mavericks Golden Master to developers, as reported by CNET. The Golden Master version of Mavericks, also known as OS X 10.9, is the same version that Apple will soon release to the public. Although the company has not yet provided media with a date for a public release, it is expected to drop at some point this October.
The Countdown to Launch
Golden Master was released to developers late Thursday, October 3, 2013, alongside the companion Xcode 5.0.1, an Apple-developed software development suite that allows users to build apps for iOS. Apple initially intended to deliver the new version of Mavericks to the public in September of this year. However, that has been pushed back in favor of a date that may coincide with the release of a new Mac Pro.
Improvements Over OS X 10.8
Mashable provides details about what consumers can expect from the new operating system. Three features of Apple OS X Mavericks Golden Master will stand out from the pack: Finder, Apple's search function, will have its own tabs; users can tag files, folders, and documents for better organization; and users can use multiple displays with Airplay, Apple's multimedia suite that provides wireless streaming of audio, video, and photos.
Beyond the Upfront Features
Developers aggressively grasp at the chance to have new pieces of software in their hands, and consumers constantly desire to upgrade their devices with the newest tech. Yet, when one considers why the public will want Apple's latest creation, the answer may come from a place beyond Mavericks' most publicized features.
Two unspoken features that each new version of OS X will provide is a clearer sense of organization and increased ease of use. Users want clear direction using applications and navigating through their desktops. Developers want application development tools at the ready, not inaccessible and hidden behind a sea of menus.
With each new version of its operating systems, Apple is making it easier for consumers to use their devices simply. As Mashable points out, the new OS X will increase laptop battery life, improve system notifications, and provide an updated system calendar. Obviously Apple knows that these arguably small improvements, in addition to the more hyped features, make devices easier to use without losing functionality in the process. That is why consumers will sit on edge, waiting for Apple to make Mavericks publicly available.

This website is dedicated to my oldest daughter Monica who was born with multiple disabilities (cortical blindness and seizure disorder) and microcephaly due to an occipital encephalocele and Chiari malformation. She has a genetic kidney disease called PKD as well as hand and arm deformities from Amniotic Band Syndrome. Despite numerous developmental disabilities, she is a delightful, motivated and affectionate young lady who continues to learn new skills and novel ways to enjoy life. See Monica's page and her Youtube channel.
