ROYAL Wootton Bassett residents still have time to sign up to take part in the Mayor's charity fun run to help raise money for Macmillan Cancer Support.
Both adults and youngsters can take part in the event, which kicks off at 10am at the Royal Wootton Bassett Rugby Football Club at Ballards Ash on Sunday, March 16.
The fun run has not been held in the town since 2011, and the Mayor, Linda Frost, was delighted that it would be held again this year.
She said: "It's part of my fundraising for the year for Macmillan. I've done a number of things but I just wanted to do something which the whole family could get involved in.
"That's why there is a 5k run and also a children's fun run, which is just a lap of the rugby field.
"This race is ideal for all ages and abilities, whether you are a regular runner, a jogger or even a walker."
From 10am, youngsters can take part in the fun run for under 12s, where they could win a prize if they come in the top three winners.
Every youngster will receive a medal for taking part.
At 10.30am the Mayor will start the adults on the five kilometre run, which will wind around the town through Saffron Close, Maple Drive, Lime Kiln, Coxstalls, Sprats Barn Crescent, Showfield and finally back to the sports ground to finish.
Medals and a kit bag will be given to all those who finish the course and there will be a trophy for the man and woman and first boy and girl to cross the finish line.
Proceeds from the charity fun run will go towards Linda's chosen charity, Macmillan Cancer Support, which improves the lives of people who are affected by cancer.
Linda said: "I don't think there are many families these days which haven't been touched by cancer.
"It's affected myself and my own family and friends throughout my life, so it's quite a personal thing for me.
"Several years ago when my friend was suffering with cancer they were supported by a Macmillan nurse and it struck me that they don't just take care of the person that is affected, but also the people supporting that person.
"That's why I chose Macmillan rather than Cancer Research."
There will also be cakes and refreshments available at the event and two prize raffles.
To sign up on the day, the registration fee for adults is £10 and for children under 16 is £5. It costs £2 for children under 12 to enter.
To register, pick up an entry form at Royal Wootton Bassett Town Council Office at 117 High Street, or enter online at www.runnersworld.co.uk
For further information call the Town Council on 01793 850222.

I am getting a tummy tuck the Dr. said that given that my sagginess is below the belly button and since I have well defined abs above the belly button (10% bf) if I get total (full) tummy tuck since they detach the skin from the underlying muscle the definition in my upper abs will b gone 4 ever. True or not? He said I am better off with a mini and no suturing of the muscles because they r defined and I don't have any Rectus Abdominus Diastasis. I am 33 y/o male. Thank u in advanced 4 ur response.
Will a Full Tummy Tuck Ruin Upper Abs Definition in a Male?
Doctor Answers 15
A Well Planned and Executed Abdominoplasty will only IMPROVE the appearance of the abdomen
Hi there-
Considering the degree of excess skin you have, as well as the fact that the QUALITY of the skin is poor, I predict you will be very dissatisfied with any procedure that involves a limited dissection.
ESPECIALLY in patients like yourself, it is very important to completely redistribute the skin over the entire abdomen in order to achieve a pleasing and uniform appearance.
Your concern that the upper abdominal definition would be lost is extremely unlikely, and in fact I believe the upper abdomen would only improve further.

Not a full tummy
Looking at your picture it does not appear you have any problem in your upper abdomen area, all the loose skin is located in the lower abdomen. It is my opinion that you only need excision of this extra skin, without having to do anything to your belly button or the area above the belly button.
However, If you have laxity of the skin in the upper abdomen on physical examination, then a full abdominoplasty will be required and you should not be concerned about your upper muscles definition, during surgery only a limited disection will be needed and your muscle definition will not change.
good luck
Abdominal muscle definition is visible in a thin patient even after tummy tuck.
You are right, your abdominal muscle definition is great. Good work. A full tummy tuck can improve loose skin above the belly button while a mini only tightens below the belly button. As thin as you are, the upper abdominal skin will stick again to the definition of your rectus muscle, even if it is lifted for a full tummy tuck. It may take several months for the swelling to go down enough for the muscle definition to be visible again, but in my opinion, it will eventually be so. Based pn your photo alone, I cannot tell the condition of your upper abdominal skin, but it is obvious that you have alot of loose skin below. I would be surprised if all of that loose skin could be removed with a mini tummy tuck without distorting your belly button appearance. Ultimately, the decision should be made by you with a board certified plastic surgeon with experience treating this problem.

Changing the upper abdomen with a tummy tuck
I am not quite sure why you would even do a tummy tuck with your problem. It appears to me you have excess skin in the lower abdomen that could easily be taken care of with a low incision not even extending from hip to hip... I would not even go above the umbilicus with my dissection. Although a picture is not the same as examining you, based on whet I see you need alot less than what you are suggesting. I would suggest a skin only procedure with minimal dissection. Discuss this option with your plastic surgeon. Good luck.
Tummy Tuck in Males
From your pictures, you look like a great candidate for tummy tuck. I would recommend a full abdominoplasty to get the best result. It is not true that you will loose the definition in your abdomen. Quite to the contrary, you will have great definition once all the swelling resolves after surgery. You do not look like you need rectus fascia plication since you do not have an apparent rectus diastasis. Good luck with your surgery.

Will a Full Tummy Tuck Ruin Upper Abs Definition in a Male?
Make sure you consult with a board certified plastic surgeon who will be able to explain the procedure, where the incision lines will be and show you photos of other patients before and afters. A well done procedure shoudl have no impact on your upper definition and will remove the excess skin below. Good luck.
A mini may be sufficient

Male tummy tuck
Tummy tucks can take on different forms
Hello - A tummy tuck can tighten loose muscles, but if you don't have any looseness you can skip this part. A side view of your abdomen helps to determine this as well as a physical examination while you're lying on an examining table. Skin below the belly button is removed with a modified tummy tuck and the scar is a lot smaller than a standard tummy tuck.

The Wayne Invitational Tournament may not have the state-ranked teams that it once did, but as always it has a nice collection of returning state-placers and will provide a good litmus test for local grapplers as to where they stand early in the season.
Headlining the list of grapplers who will compete at the 42nd annual WIT that opens tonight at 4:30 p.m. at Smithville's Berkey Field House and continues Saturday (11 a.m., finals at 5:30 p.m.) are senior returning state-placers Max Rohskopf (West Holmes), Zack Srock (Chippewa) and Kurt Moore (Norwayne).
Rohskopf earned a third-place state medal last season in Div. II and will compete at 145 pounds. The North Carolina State recruit is the lone returning WIT champion in a field that's seen five schools leave and four new ones join the fold. Moore (160, second at WIT) and Srock (285) both took fifth-place state medals in Div. III last year.
While those names are familiar to area mat fans, a lot will be new in the 42nd annual WIT's 17-team field.
"Leaving the tournament were Green (2011 WIT champion), GlenOak (third), Fairless, Kenmore and Mogadore," WIT director Mike Baker said, "but Chippewa has decided to come back and new to the tournament are Newcomerstown, Akron Ellet and Ashland County Community Academy."
Also represented in the field will be local schools Dalton, Norwayne, Orrville, the host Smithies, Triway, West Holmes (second) and Wooster, along with Coshocton, Massillon, Canton McKinley, New Philadelphia, Akron North and Ridgewood.
"I think the field looks really open, there isn't one school that seems to have all the No. 1 seeds," Baker said. "This may be one of our most open fields."
Technically, one could say a sixth team has left the WIT. Although Dalton opted to fold its program because of a lack of numbers, the Bulldogs will maintain a
presence with two grapplers who are now more a part of the Orrville team.
A DHS program that was started for the 1997-98 season by Kevin Walton and had 21 wrestlers by the following year, has seen numbers dwindle in recent seasons.
Just six Dalton students indicated they planned to wrestle for coach Tim Hull in the preseason, but when that number was reduced to just three (now two), school administrators had no choice but to disband the program.
Dalton superintendent Scott Beatty reached an agreement for the last two Bulldogs' -- Drew Everett (132, fourth at WIT last season, district qualifier) and Jared Merriman (285) -- to train and travel with Orrville's team. Red Riders coach Mike Hamsher will also instruct the Dalton duo, who will still score points for the Bulldogs.
"I love wrestling and know it's a big deal at a lot of schools, including (Massillon) Perry where I went to high school," Beatty said. "I'd love to see us have a program here, but we just didn't have the numbers.
"When it got down to three wrestlers left on our team, I talked with (principal) Larry Case and (athletic director) John Gregory about what we could do. It's difficult to run any type of team with just three kids, how do you even have good practices? It's also hard to justify paying the expenses for having a team with three wrestlers and coach Hull was good about understanding that. Fortunately we have a good relationship with the people at Orrville and they agreed to let our kids train and travel with them."
Gregory praised the jobs done by Walton and Hull, but said, "It's unfortunate that not enough kids come out anymore."
A team with an even more unusual situation than what the two Bulldog wrestlers are doing is the Ashland County Community Academy squad coached by 1993 Wooster High graduate Henry Gehring.
ACCA, a first-year team nicknamed the Aces, provides alternative education placement options for Ashland, Wayne, Holmes, and surrounding counties. Smaller class sizes allow students who have been unsuccessful in a traditional high school setting the opportunity to learn and ultimately to graduate, the school's mission statement reads in part.
There's a smaller than usual list of proven teams and individuals at this year's WIT, but that will mean improved opportunities for a large number of wrestlers this weekend.

Gloves and fish slime.Unless your harvesting your catch,I would highly recommend Non absorbent gloves.
Or if you remove your absorbent gloves prior to handling your catch,Your doing the fish and fellow anglers a favor.
Most of the rivers I fish are C&R The rules in Colorado state the fish must be returned to the water immediately.
I wish it said unharmed and immediately. I cant tell you how many fish I've seen in spring and mid summer,that have finger and thumb prints on them from the previous winters
battles with man.
Tail rot and skin rot on a trophy's makes me sad on several different levels.
1. For the fish, what a horrible way to suffer as parasites eat away at your skin & flesh. Ethical and humane were words from a recent C&R thread.
Most of the fish I see, that have been damaged by mishandling, live in slack and back water eddy's trying to stay up right to grab the slightest morsel's that pass.All are dying and just waiting for that
last gasp if you will.
2 For the future angler that missed out on such an amazing creature.Uneducated anglers create the problem but they fish where I fish so it has become my problem.
I saw a book the other day.The author of the book uses a bright colored bandanna to knuckle his fish.I couldn't believe it.
My son recently presented me with a pair of Sims fingerless retractable mittens..I've used them once so far but removed them prior to handling my catch.
This removal has a two fold purpose..One keeps the glove dry,two leaves the fish unscathed.
I was very comfortable in the winter with an "Old Electricians" trick I being the Old Electrician..
The use of latex gloves and those tiny jersey wool type gloves.
1st apply a pair of latex..traps the heat in your hand
2nd apply jersey/stretchy type... keeps your rubber covered hand warm
3rd apply 2nd layer of latex..keeps the cloth dry and provides a semi tacky surface so you can manipulate line and reel.
This method works. Keeps you warm,you don't have to remove gloves and protects that ever crucial layer of slime on our finned friends.
Just my 2 cents worth
Hi D O K,
I'm from the UK. I like the post you submitted above; and I believe we should all take note of it while out fishing and handling fish! I'm sure the above post would be appreciated on the UK, forum!! Could you repeat it on : flyfishingforums.co.uk Thanks

text: Overview By Mayo Clinic Staff Print Cranial sutures and fontanelsCranial sutures and fontanelsJoints called cranial sutures, made of strong, fibrous tissue, hold the bones of your baby's skull together until the bones fuse, normally around age 2. Until then, the sutures intersect at the fontanels, the soft spots on your baby's head. The largest of the four fontanels is at the front of the skull (anterior). The anterior fontanel is the soft spot you feel just behind your baby's forehead. The next largest is at the back (posterior). Each side of the skull has a tiny fontanel. Children's Center At Mayo Clinic, medical and surgical specialists from over 40 areas are available to collaborate in the treatment of your child. Read about Children's Center. Craniosynostosis (kray-nee-o-sin-os-TOE-sis) is a birth defect in which one or more of the fibrous joints between the bones of your baby's skull (cranial sutures) close prematurely (fuse), before your baby's brain is fully formed. Brain growth continues, giving the head a misshapen appearance. Craniosynostosis usually involves fusion of a single cranial suture, but can involve more than one of the sutures in your baby's skull (complex craniosynostosis). In rare cases, craniosynostosis is caused by certain genetic syndromes (syndromic craniosynostosis). Treating craniosynostosis involves surgery to correct the shape of the head and allow for normal brain growth. Early diagnosis and treatment allow your baby's brain adequate space to grow and develop. Although neurological damage can occur in severe cases, most children have normal cognitive development and achieve good cosmetic results after surgery. Early diagnosis and treatment are key.

Dear Manti Te'o,
Hey pal… It's me, your buddy Lance Armstrong (or is it? Lol jk it's really me). Now I know we haven't technically met but I wanted to thank you for taking all the attention off of me. I know you're probably really nervous right now, so your pal Lance, Dance Revolution (it's a nickname I'm trying to start, feel free to call me that) came up with a few options to get yourself out of this:
1. Photoshop
Let's produce a picture of you and your girlfriend. I took a couple of online Photoshop classes (YouTube) and put together this picture for you. This may solve all your problems.
If that sexy little minx looks familiar, yes, it is country superstar Reba McEntire. I wasn't sure what nationality you said your girlfriend was so I went with the safe route and combined two. Pretty cool effect huh??
2. Get real cancer
I know it seems like a little much, but people will forgive you. I just saw that movie "50/50" and it totally made me forget that Joseph Gordon Levitt was in that awful bicycle movie. Just consider it. And maybe buy a bunch of microwaves and tanning beds in case you change your mind.
3. Date a high profile celebrity
I'd say make it a Kardashian, but I think the only one who would be willing to sleep with you after this would be Bruce. How about my ex-girlfriend, Sheryl Crow? You could even do that whole celebrity couple name thing, like Mantyl Te'Crow or Sheri Cre'o. She probably won't go for it, but you can just add her as a friend on Facebook and that pretty much means you guys are married in your mind, AMIRITE?
4. Just don't talk about it.
Let me tell you a little story. Once upon a time Ray Lewis murdered a guy but then he did fun, wacky Madden commercials with Paul Rudd and everyone forgave him. The end. Instead of talking about it, just completely ignore it and find your own zany commercials to do. Maybe do a NBA Jam commercial with Helen Hunt or a Call of Duty commercial with the guy from Quantum Leap. That show was wild! I had a similar idea but instead of traveling through time to solve crimes, I would travel into the past and hang out with people who don't hate me. It's still being pitched around.
Has Oprah called you yet? I know that flesh eating she-monster is lurking in the water, waiting to consume you and your girlfaux-nd (Haha a little joke between pals!). So, what if we turn it on her and actually produce a girlfriend! She came back from the dead! How you ask? We covered her coffin in Livestrong bracelets and their power literally blew the breath of life back into her corpse. Oh man, I would $ell $o many bracelet$…uh I mean, this would help you with your problem. Now the girlfriend has to be someone we trust so, again I put another little Photoshop example together and came up with this idea:
You're not going to believe this, but THAT'S ACTUALLY ME! Haha it would be a real hoot! I could help you keep the story straight while at the same time looking like that girl from The Fifth Element. Double trouble!
These are just a few ideas for ya pal. I won't contact you until you contact me so I can know if you're really interested. I guess you could say the ball is in your court (lol just a little testicle joke, I'm sure you get it). Livestrong Manti! Together we can catfish the world!
– Lance Armstrong
P.S. I'm really enjoying the Te'oing craze. Here's a picture of me and my imaginary girlfriend after one of my imaginary wins.

You know it's Summer when...
Week of the snake bites: victim No.8
Brown Snake
March 9, 2010 - 4:49PM
A woman was bitten by a snake in the Blue Mountains this afternoon, the second attack today and the eighth in six days.
A NSW Ambulance spokeswoman said the woman, believed to in her 40s, was bitten on the foot on Hawkesbury Road at Winmalee just before 3pm.
She was taken to Nepean Hospital in a serious but stable condition, with "extreme pain" in her foot, the spokeswoman said.
It is not known what type of snake bit her.
In the early hours today, a snake handler was bitten on the face twice by a deadly brown snake at his Aberdeen home in the upper Hunter region.
Five people were bitten in a three-hour period in different parts of the state on Saturday.
And a four-year-old boy spent two days in hospital after being bitten by a suspected red belly black snake at Badgerys Creek, in western Sydney last Thursday.
The Ambulance Service said the jump in snake bites could reflect "the high incidence of wet, overcast but warm conditions" combined with a few dry days here and there.
Australian Reptile Park general manager Mary Rayner said last month the park had recorded a "huge increase" in snake-identification requests on its website, as well as many phone calls.
Week of the snake bites: victim No. 8
The armourer for my club ran over a brown snake the other week out at the range...he thought it was a stick, heh. Yeah they ARE a protected species, but I personally wouldn't have any compunction 'helping one on its way'...pretty volatile & irritable in the humid Summer, and are the 2nd most toxic land snake in the world.
You guys have way too many deadly critters down there. :eek:
Yeah there are a few...lol
The Inland Taipan (world's No #1)
The Small-scaled Snake or Western Taipan
Common Brown Snake (no #2)
Tiger Snake
Death Adder
Mulga Snake or King Brown Snake
Rough-scaled Snake
Copperhead Snake
Red-back Spider
Funnel-web Spider
Saltwater Crocodile
Great White Shark
Australian Paralysis Tick
The Box Jellyfish
Blue-ringed Octopus
Puffer Toadfish
Blue Bottle or Portuguese Man-o-War
Irukandji Jellyfish (the one where you fall into unconsciousness while still screaming lol)
and probably others I've forgotten :p
Dammit that's bumper-sticker material right there. Think I'm gonna make one :p
It's pretty simple here. We have lots of snakes, but only four that can kill you.
Rattlesnakes - these come in various types, but are easily identifiable by their triangular head and....rattlers tail. :rolleyes:
Cottonmouths- some people call them water moccasins, but it's the same. They are short fat snakes with a stumpy tail, they stink, are dark colored, and have a large triangular shaped head too.
Copperheads- They sort of look camoflaged. Not near as aggressive as rattlers, and certainly not as much as the territorial moccasins, but they're still poisonous. I was bitten on the hand by one of these a long time ago but it did not invenomate.
Coral snake - red on yellow,kill a fellow. There are vertically striped red, yellow,and black snakes found mostly in Florida. Not likely to bite because they are tiny and non aggressive.
None of these comes close to the deadliness of the Brown snake!
Rattlesnakes don't typically kill you and copperheads are posionous but not deadly. Don't know much about the other two, only how to ID them.
Zhuk, if I lived in a place like that I wouldn't leave the house without a shotgun!
I don't ever id snakes. I shoot first and ask questions later. Slimy low crawling muther effers.
The only good snake is an effing dead one.
It's a little early, but I got my first rattler of the year Sunday night. He was just a little baby though. I got about 6 last year including one that was at least 3 feet long and about a big around as a good sized cucumber. He was squirming so much that once I had his head in the tongs, I had to pick his body up with my left hand to get control of him to put him in the bag. Took him, and all the others, out into the desert and released him. He would have made some nice 1911 grips though.

Board of Directors
Meet Mary Brainerd, Chair of the Minneapolis Fed Board of Directors
Published October 17, 2012
This article originally appeared in the Bank's employee newsletter, Third Quarter 2012.
For Mary Brainerd, it all began with an internship while an undergraduate at the University of Minnesota. A summer job at the Minnesota Department of Health provided an opportunity to plan a major annual conference. "By the end of the summer," Brainerd said, "I was hooked on health care."
For the current chair of the Minneapolis Fed's board of directors, those humble beginnings as an intern were the foundation for a career in health care that led to the corner office of HealthPartners, the largest consumer-governed, nonprofit health care organization in the nation. And Brainerd's responsibilities will soon expand, as HealthPartners and Park Nicollet Health Services (both based in the Twin Cities metro) recently signed an agreement to combine organizations. Brainerd, currently president and CEO of HealthPartners, will become CEO of the combined nonprofit health organization in January 2013.
Brainerd, who received an MBA from St. Thomas University in St. Paul with a health care emphasis, says her career in health care has been a perfect marriage of analytical and people-oriented issues, both of which have been longtime passions. "I feel really fortunate to have had experience both in the delivery system part of health care and in the financing part of health care, because to achieve some of the changes that I want to see happen, you can't do one without the other," Brainerd said.
That career experience—health care financing plus care delivery—also makes Brainerd a good fit for serving the board of directors of the Minneapolis Fed. At first blush, there may not appear to be much connection between the health care industry and the nation's central bank, but Brainerd said the parallels became clear to her when she assumed her role on the board. Good governance is a common goal of directors on any board, Brainerd said, but nonprofit boards like those that serve the Minneapolis Fed and HealthPartners are special. "I'm always impressed with the level of commitment that board members make to a not-for-profit organization and the time and energy it takes," Brainerd said. "It's that added factor of commitment to a mission that is particularly meaningful and relevant to people who serve on nonprofit boards. It's what makes me want to do the work."
Brainerd began her first term on the Bank's board of directors in 2008. She became deputy chair in 2010 and chair in 2012. She's served on every committee of the board, including the recruiting committee, which shepherded the process that selected Narayana Kocherlakota the Bank president and chief executive officer. Brainerd's term as chair ends on Dec. 31, 2013, after which her six years of service will come to a close.
By now, she has become quite familiar with the Federal Reserve and its roles and responsibilities, but admits that when she was first approached to serve on the board she was uncertain about how she would contribute. She soon found that her contributions were highly valued, both in terms of providing oversight for Bank operations and for her role in providing economic and business information to Kocherlakota and his staff. Every month, a subset of the board's nine members answer questions about business activity in their regions and industries. Topics include labor markets, price changes, expectations for the future and a host of other issues relating to business activity. This information contributes to Kocherlakota's understanding of the economy and, ultimately, to the policy recommendations that he makes during meetings of the Federal Open Market Committee.
Brainerd said that in addition to learning about the many roles and functions of the Federal Reserve, one of the things that surprised her is the institution's commitment to communication about its roles and responsibilities. "There is actually more transparency than I had expected about the key decisions that are made, the programs that the Fed has, the challenges that the Fed faces." She added that she has come to learn the value of transparency and communication in her own role in the health care field—another industry that is often misunderstood by the public—and she strongly supports the Federal Reserve's efforts to increase transparency.
On that note, Brainerd and her colleagues on the board of directors recently took that commitment on the road, literally. The board, along with the Bank's senior management team, traveled to Minot and Williston, N.D., to tour that state's oil patch region and experience for themselves the whirl of economic activity that they have heard about at their board meetings. The tour included visits to an oil rig, transport station and crew camp, among other sites, but perhaps most importantly, according to Brainerd, it included meetings with North Dakota citizens. Those opportunities to connect with people within the Ninth District and to explain the role of the Bank's directors are very important, she said.
Narayana Kocherlakota, Mary Brainerd and Randall Hogan
"I really hope that we demonstrated a connection to the local communities and that they realized our genuine interest in learning directly from them about their rapidly changing economic environment," Brainerd said of the two-day trip. "I thought people were really both surprised and pleased to see folks from the Fed come to them with a desire to learn and to understand what has changed in their communities, and how they are handling that change. We certainly learned a great deal."
Openness and the willingness to learn are key attributes of successful organizations, according to Brainerd, and she looks forward to her opportunity to meet with Bank employees during the Town Hall Forum set for Nov. 15.

Increasing Online Sales With Good Copywriting
If you don't think your ad copy can have an effect on your online sales you are sadly mistaken.
Without the proper use of information being displayed to your visitors you are greatly reducing your conversion rates.
First and foremost it is vitally important to decide if you need long ad copy or short ad copy. You can typically make this decision based on the value and expense of what you are selling. A good example would be selling a house versus selling a pencil sharpener.
If you're selling a pencil sharpener you probably won't have to write long ad copy. More than likely you would include a picture of the sharpener, the cost and a few basic features. How many features can a pencil sharpener have…Right?
If you're trying to sell a house, however, your ad copy will be quite a bit longer and more extensive.
Most likely you would include multiple images. You would also possibly want to describe all the rooms, the square footage of the rooms, included appliances, how much land the house is sitting on, the location, price, tax rate, the distance to local shopping areas, the basement, the type and condition of the heater, the age of the roof and so on.
I know the examples are a bit drastic in nature but I need to show my point. There would be a huge difference in the length of ad copy based on the price of the product you are attempting to sell on your site.
Additionally you need to be sure to get rid of any spelling and grammar mistakes, try to always use powerful headlines to grab the attention of the visitor, relay the benefits of purchasing your product, use respectful language to develop trust with the visitor and finally be sure to ask the visitor to take action. In other words, ask for the sale.
In fact your ad copy may want to incorporate a couple different areas where the customer can make the purchase such as "buy now" buttons.
Allen Gardyne, the host of associateprograms.com has an excellent article posted on his site called "How To Increase Sales With Copywriting." I highly recommend you check it out.
Good copywriting is so important in the way of increasing online sales that many marketers pay professionals to write the ad copy for them.
Best Wishes!

The abstract algebraic structures called groups, rings and fields have proven to have surprisingly many applications. For example, groups have been used to build secure cryptosystems and to study the symmetry of molecules. We will study the abstract properties of groups, rings and fields and then study several applications of this theory. Possible topics include cryptography, puzzles, error correcting codes, computer software applications, symmetry, tiling, networks, and grobner bases.

A wild day at the park, Central claims thrilling SWC win
For the second consecutive Friday, a Southwestern Conference football game at Stocker Stadium came down to the final minute.
For the second consecutive Friday, it involved Fruita Monument High School.
One week after Fruita pulled off a thrilling 18-14 victory over Grand Junction in the final minute, it was Central's turn to pull out the victory this time.
The Warriors mounted a 97-yard drive in the final 4½ minutes to overtake the Wildcats 21-18 and in front of a screaming Central homecoming crowd.
Trailing 18-13 after Fruita Monument's punt was downed at the 3-yard line, Central offensive coordinator Casey Doss had a simple message for his players before he sent them on the field for what everyone realized was the game's definitive drive with 4:37 remaining.
"I said, 'One down at a time, don't get greedy,' " Doss said.
"I knew that drive was the game," Warriors quarterback Holden Reed said.
On third-and-eight from the 5, Reed kept the ball on a run to the right for eight yards.
With a fresh set of downs and some room to operate, Reed hit Clay Kame over the middle for 24 yards.
"We just took what (Fruita Monument) gave us," Reed said of heeding Doss' words about not trying to gain too much at once.
Reed connected with Kame over the middle on a key third-down conversion to the Wildcat 34.
"We tried to get the ball and get out of bounds," Reed said, although Central began the drive with all three of its timeouts and had to use two.
On third and one, Nolan Curtis took a pitch to the right side and gained 23 yards to the Wildcat 2.
That set up Reed's run over left tackle out of the shotgun for the score with 23.6 seconds remaining.
"We knew we had momentum on our side," said Reed, who scored Central's first touchdown in the second quarter after the Wildcats had taken a 12-0 lead.
Central secured the victory when linebacker Trent Harris picked off Fruita quarterback Brett Nankervis' pass at the Warrior 25 and ran out the clock.
"I just got a drop with the defensive backs," Harris said.
"I was very confident with our team," Central coach Vern McGee said.
McGee was most pleased with Central's defensive stand at the end of the first half that kept the Wildcats out of the end zone on fourth and two, allowed the Warriors to go to the break trailing only 12-7.
"This is a big win, a great win," Harris said.

Ya, I know that.
But, I imagine that would be what he wants if Houston doesn't want him.
I was just arguing your reasons of him not being a good signing.
I guess something got misinterpreted.
38 year olds should be past the point of beefing with coaches or in this case they should give a sh!t and step forward to be a leader - especially when looking at a candidate for a rebuilding team such as Toronto.
His injury history is brutal regardless of his age.
Taking Gray makes more sense if he gives you better production and is cheaper. The declining role is a good point though.
Just to make it clear AK47 is one year older than Gerald Wallace and has way more playoffs experience. Is to contributing to winning unlike GW. AK47 shoots the ball better(a need like DC BC said) than GW
Also it's the first time that Andrei has been actually healthy in the last couple years.
A definite "HELL YES" to Mayo. He's everything we're hoping DeRozan one day turns into.
And if it's a choice between Wallace or Kirilenko, I'd go with Kirilenko. He provides almost as much value, but at a noticeably cheaper price (I assume).
What about Courtney Lee? he's no mayo or batum, but a capable wing (starter or bench) with good IQ and all around ability (and a finals run under his belt)
Yeah I'd sign Lee to shore up the bench
And I also think Kleiza's defense is underrated.
a healthy Jeff Green is the answer with Wilson Chandler as the 6th man spelling off both Green and DeRozan.
I think Jeff Green is obtainable. I think Chandler was signed by Denver solely because other teams want him and they know he could be a valuable trade chip especially at 6.5 million
Wilson Chandler I think will be available too (for the right price).. however he had a big hip injury and I hope he can recover from that.
I'd stay away from Green at all costs. I'd feel more comfortable signing Stephen Hawking as our SF.
I think we could have Green at below market value. His heart condition if it is the result of a defect is actually an arterial birth defect. If corrected properly he has a long life left in the league with no drop off. IF it is the result of an underlying condition, which is even more RARE than the birth defect itself, then yeah it could be a problem. There are only two causes of his condition though, and I never heard which one that was from any articles I read. So THAT is the question mark on him. If its the defect I sign him at below market value and laugh all the way deep into the playoffs
Do we know for a fact he doesn't have that? He played 4 most of his career thus far
Yeah, I think he can dribble drive:

Phil Mickelson abandoned his plan to go with two drivers in the first round of the Masters, and he wasn't very good with the one he kept.
The defending Masters champ from San Diego hit only four of 14 fairways Thursday and found himself in deep trouble off the tee a couple of times in shooting 2-under-par 70 — five shots worse than co-leaders Rory McIlroy and Alvaro Quiros.
"Just OK," Mickelson said of his round, which was three shots higher than his opening score last year. "I didn't shoot myself out of it, but I didn't make up ground on the field the way I wanted to."
Mickelson's wildest tee shot came at the par-5 13th — his favorite hole at Augusta. He sliced his drive into the azaleas on the left and had to punch out. He nearly salvaged a birdie, but missed his putt.
Mickelson was on a streak of 36 holes without a bogey when he made a 5 at the 18th. He sliced his approach left of the green and missed a 6-foot putt for par.
The three-time Masters champ said he kept a 3-iron in his bag because he thought he might need the club at the fourth and 15th holes, which were affected by a headwind.
Woods hangs around
Tiger Woods talked about the quick starts other people got with some easy pin placements. He was not one of those who took advantage.
Woods made his first birdie at the par-3 sixth and made only three on the day in scoring 1-under 71. As has been his concern for most of this season, he wasn't efficient enough on the greens, needing 30 putts.
"A lot of beautiful putts," Woods said. "And they were just skirting the edge. So hopefully they will start going in."
Smiling Quiros
Quiros, a 28-year-old Spaniard known in Europe for his prodigious drives, was in a jovial mood after seizing a share of the lead while playing in the day's last group. He finished in golden light.
"I was talking to my caddie about it, walking the 18th hole," Quiros said. "It looks like I was playing Sunday afternoon in the leading group. It was a nice feeling, because normally I'm watching this situation through the TV sitting on my sofa.
"The weather was perfect, I was playing good, and I was lucky with the putting, so I couldn't complain obviously."
Quiros shot 32 on the back nine, including birdies at 17 and 18, to record his best round at Augusta by 10 shots. He previously had scored three 75s and a 78. For that reason, he said he only checked the scores of his fellow Spaniards when he arrived at the course.
"I cannot be pretending to see the leaderboard. That would be stupid," Quiros said, laughing.
Quiros said his goal for the week is still to make the cut. He has won five times on the European Tour, including this year's Dubai Desert Classic. He leads the tour in average driving distance at 314.8 yards. J.B. Holmes tops the American tour at 311.7.
Thinking of Japan
Japanese 19-year-old Ryo Ishikawa shot 1-under 71 after learning in the morning that a 7.4 magnitude earthquake struck off the coast of Japan. Ishikawa already has pledged all of his 2011 earnings to Japanese relief efforts.
"I think I'm worried that it feels like we can't relax because of the situation. I am a bit worried," Ishikawa said.

Ian attends the New Jersey Institute of Technology and aspires to become a licensed architect who creates responsible, energy-efficient buildings. Learn about Ian and his project, created for the AIAS/Autodesk Sustainable Design Challenge, where he designed a multifunctional temporary one-room schoolhouse using Autodesk® Revit® Architecture and Autodesk® Ecotect® Analysis software.
What inspired you to study architecture?
The architects' impact on the lives of those who live in their buildings, work in their buildings, play in their buildings, pray in their buildings…even the lives of the people who pass them on the street are impacted in some way. I want to impact peoples' lives for the better, to make the world a better place.
Describe your project. Why did you create this? What do you want other students to know about the project?
The challenge was to design a temporary one-room schoolhouse for areas of the world recovering from natural disaster, and it also needed to function as a sleeping shelter by night. This competition was launched as a response to the earthquake that shook Haiti several weeks prior. At the time, I had been learning how to use some of Revit software's new advanced parametric pattern-based curtain panel design tools and saw this competition as a chance to test some of my skills with these new features.
For a few weeks over the summer, I thought about what concept should drive the project, what the "big idea" should be. After a few weeks of letting ideas marinate, I decided the shelter should primarily be constructed of local corrugated aluminum panels, which is commonly used as a roofing material in Haiti, and could be harvested from nearby fallen buildings. The shelter would be a kit of structural aluminum tubes designed to snap together, then aluminum panels would clip onto the structure.
The angles at which these aluminum panels could clip into the structure could be designed to shield direct sunlight (whose heat and glare is uncomfortable to easily distracted students) but reflect and diffuse the light into the classroom, brightening the space and supporting a positive learning environment.
After deciding on the idea, it took me about one week to build the Revit model; analyze it and make refinements in Ecotect; take some renderings; and polish up the drawings.
Toward the end of the process, I decided to color the structural ribs each with a different color of the rainbow. These colors serve two purposes: to enhance the atmosphere of the children's learning, and to simplify coordination of the structural tubes during the build―the color coding is easier and faster to read than ordering the tubes by letter or number.
Finish this sentence: "I never stop…"
I never stop thinking. Everything I see I wonder about, whether it's how it's made, why it looks the way it does, how it could be applied to other things, how it could have been done better, why it wasn't something else―why is everything the way it is?
When you're not working on changing the world, what are your hobbies and interests beyond design?
Acoustic guitar and travel (including local spontaneous adventures).

Nora Nolan was born and raised in Maplewood, New Jersey and she never shuts up about it. Lauryn Hill went to her high school and Nora feels an enormous sense of urgency about sharing this fact before it is completely irrelevant (no offense to Ms. Hill).
Nora is a member of the Warner Brothers Writers' Workshop class of 2016-2017.
Nora earned her chops as a stand-up comic in New York City and Washington, DC before moving to Los Angeles in 2013. Since 2014, she has trained at Upright Citizens Brigade and completed Improv 101-401, as well as Sketch Writing 101. She can be seen performing both stand-up and improv regularly around LA.
Nora has written several episodic web series for production company Whalerock Industries (formerly BermanBraun), including 7 Wonders of the Wall, a celebrity joke show that regularly got a million views, and Mandatory Viewing, a pop culture comedy show aimed at men that ran for 32 weeks.
She's written numerous one-off sketch videos for the production company, including the Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt/Orange is the New Black Mash-up, and the 2015 Kid Oscars, where kids acted out scenes from Oscar-nominated films. During the filming of the latter, Nora learned the true definition of the word "momager." Based on the success of the 2015 Kid Oscars, Nora was hired in April 2016 to write three new sketches for the production company, with kids acting out scenes from Grey's Anatomy, Empire, and The Voice.
Nora credits her willingness to push comedy boundaries to growing up in a large Irish Catholic family where in order to get a word in edgewise you either had to lead with a case of Bud Heavy or an edgy punch line. Since Nora didn't get a fake ID until she was 19, she spent years refining the latter.
Nora was arrested for her fake ID when she was 20. The judge in Williamsburg, Virginia (where she was earning a BA in Economics from The College of William and Mary) made an example out of her by sentencing her to 100 hours of community service. To get her hours in, Nora spent all of winter break volunteering for the Episcopal Church in Newark, NJ and honestly it wasn't that bad. Therefore, Nora did not learn her lesson. She still uses a fake ID, to this day.
In 2015, Nora was hired to do a page-one rewrite of a sitcom pilot, Written Off, which was subsequently shot in March 2016. Nora was on set for the shoot in Chicago, Illinois and was severely underdressed. The pilot is now available on Amazon (free on Amazon Prime).
When she's not writing or performing, Nora is drinking IPAs, debating whether it's too late to take up surfing, and watching offensive amounts of television.

>Look What I Can Do!>Back on the bike after 12 yrs--first injury in 12 yrs!
Well, after 34 yrs of running and over 71,400 miles run I developed AT. Had a very small wart removed from my foot in late Feb. I was amazed how much It hurt to walk on it. Well, being the runaholic I am, I didn't run for several days and then started "gimp running". You would think I would be a little smarter. After several weeks I began to notice a pain near my Achilles--after I ran. Ignored it. More 50 mile weeks and several races. More brilliance. I guess running the last 12 yrs and over 25,000 miles w/o an injury, I thought I was indestructable. NOT. I began to notice some swelling and decided to cut back--from 50 mile weeks to 35 or so. It got worse. Go figure. Had an MRI and awaiting results. Stopped running 9 days ago--who is counting? Decided to get back on my bike 3 weeks ago. Had my old hybrid shaped up. Foolishly rode a new Trek 7.3 hybrid and bought it the same day.
I have logged a little over 600 miles in just over 3 weeks of riding. The sickness continues. Did a 67 miler today. (I will be 67 in a couple of months). I am amazed that I have acclimated to the bike so easily. One great thing about biking--you can coast.
I share this to advise you that even experienced runners over do it sometimes. I have coached 100's of runners over the years and advise that when hurting --REST. Couldn't follow my own advice. I am paying for it. I miss my running--but the biking is fun. Not sure why I stopped riding 12 yrs ago. Probably because after my Plantar F. healed I just got back to running.
Thanks for letting me share. Nick

Portugal's Minister for Plastic Bags is delighted at the public response to his Green Tax of 10 cents a bag, saying today that he is "very positive" about the first month's results.
The Environment Minister, Jorge Moreira da Silva, said that shoppers had changed their behaviour and have come up with other ways of transporting shopping other than in the plastic bags that used to given away by many supermarkets.
"Citizens have shown in just a few weeks that they were sensitive to price signals," said da Silva who added that "the measures have been very positive, just visit a supermarket to see what the Government has always said would happen is happening, a huge reduction in plastic bag use."
"We wanted to go from 466 to 50 plastic bags per person per year in one year. This is a more ambitious target than any other European country and in practice this is what is happening," said the happy minister.
Moreira da Silva wanted to explain to people that the government decided to tax the light plastic bags as they are the problem ones, ending up in the sea and taking years to degrade.
The Ministry of the Environment hopes that overall its Green Taxation efforts will raise €167 million this year with a €40 million contribution from the plastic bag tax.
The government has admitted that €150 million of the money raised will in fact be used to reduce income tax, with only the remaining €17 million going towards nature conservation measures.
One thing is for sure, shoppers have been re-using plastic bags to avoid the new charges.
The €40 million target, 50 bags per head of population, may be hard to achieve with shoppers in no mood to waste money as is being witnessed, but with no figures in yet it is too early to make an infomed assessment.

Heroes volume 2 DVD: Alternate ending "Powerless"
Heroes volume 2 was truncated because of the writer's strike. The televised finale episode "Powerless" started with Adam Monroe dropping the vial with the Shanti virus just as Hiro Nakamura touched him. In slow mo, Peter Petrelli jumped to catch the vial just in time. Whew. The heroes went home knowing that they just saved the world from another catastrophe. Nathan Petrelli decides to go public to tell the world about The Company and a special kind of people – posthumans – with special abilities. And then he gets shot.
That's NOT how it would have been. In this alternate ending, Adam dropped and vial and it broke, releasing the virus to the air. It quickly spreads just as Peter, Nathan and Matt arrive on the scene and see people are dying.
Through Matt's mind control, the trio succeed in getting the police to quarantine Odessa, Texas. Nathan calls for a press conference to tell the world of the new threat, and the world witness him succumbing to the virus.
DarkPhoenix321 got hold of early releases of the Heroes volume 2 DVD and shares the video here.
Do you like this ending better?

In COACH for Kids program, LaMont Harrington is known for driving the extra mile to help others
When Cedars-Sinai reaches out to underserved communities to help improve their health status, two custom-built RVs that house mobile medical clinics play a key role. And it takes a special someone to navigate these big vehicles through the crowded byways and nerve-wracking traffic of sprawling Los Angeles – then to assist calmly with patients in need.
From the outset, those who work in the COACH for Kids and Their Families™ program in Cedars-Sinai's Maxine Dunitz Children's Health Center recognized that driver LaMont Harrington had all the right qualities.
"We did a lot of interviewing for the position, but LaMont stood out," said Anne Traynor, RN, MN, FNP-BC, a nurse practitioner and clinical supervisor for the COACH program. "Every step of the way, everyone really liked him."
Though his background was as a trucker, Harrington's potential immediately was visible to Traynor's boss, COACH director Michele Rigsby Pauley, RN, MSN, CPNP.
"He had a positive attitude and was willing to learn the other skills that were required of the job," Traynor said. "Michele has taught me that sometimes it's attitude over ability that matters, and with LaMont we found a real gem."
Seeing him quietly in action explains all. On a recent Monday morning, Harrington, 50, went with his COACH colleagues to the 99th Street Elementary School. Across from a DWP pumping station and next to a trash-strewn lot, he wrangled a trio of anxious boys brought to the COACH site by their mothers for physical exams and vaccinations.
Harrington, who took part in certified nursing assistant training so he could work with patients, demonstrated the finer points of a stethoscope to his three reluctant clients. He listened to each boy's chest. He then let them put the device on and showed them how to hear their friends' heartbeats. As the boys laughed and joked and listened in wonder, Harrington quickly filled in their charts with their vital signs, information they barely noticed he was collecting. By the time it was their turn to enter the mobile medical clinic exam room to see Traynor, they were relaxed and confident.
"The No. 1 thing the parents say is they lost their health insurance and don't know how else they would care for their kids," Harrington said. "It's good that we come around to this part of town."
On this day, the COACH crew is serving children and families in South Los Angeles. It's Harrington's part of town. He was born and raised here, the second-youngest of seven children and the only boy.
"I've got six sisters," he said and laughed. "Helps you learn to get along with anybody."
Harrington's parents still live in his childhood home. As COACH's mobile clinic makes its rounds in neighborhoods around the city, Harrington invariably runs into people he grew up with. And after his seven years on the job, children who were once new and frightened patients greet him like an old friend.
"Just last week there were a couple kids that, the first time, they were scared of me," he recalled. "Now, they come asking for me."
Though Harrington's hard work is most visible while he is parked at a school helping the clinic staff, his day starts early. He usually begins at 6 a.m., ensuring the mobile medical clinic is clean, stocked and ready to roll. He drives four days a week to a different school or site. He finds a safe parking spot, then helps the medical staff with the day's clinic. After the last patient has been seen, Harrington is still at his duties, packing up the COACH and getting it back on the road. Back at Cedars-Sinai, Harrington stops by the lab to drop off the day's medical tests for processing.
"We're very lucky to have LaMont with us," said program director Rigsby Pauley. "His personality and attitude are wonderful, and he he's always willing to learn whatever is needed to help the team."
While driving a mobile medical unit or the skills of a nurse's assistant can be taught, Harrington's way with people is an innate gift.
"He's great with the kids and the families," Rigsby Pauley said. "He connects with them, from the little kids to the grandparents."
For Harrington, it's more than a job – it's a labor of love.
"I grew up here, and it's good to come back to a part of town that I know, to be able to give back to the community," he said. He looked around, then waved at a cluster of parents and children at the mobile medical clinics' main door.
"We do good work here," he said, and walked toward the waiting group. "For me, this is like coming back home."

Spring and color always go hand-in-hand to me. While I usually associate pastel colors with the season, this year, anything goes… including bright, bold colors. The new issue of 'InStyle' celebrates color; and here are a few trends to check out for inspiration.
Sport One Color Head-to-Toe
Rocking a bright monochromatic look (like Amanda Seyfried) can make you appear longer and leaner! By pairing different shades and textures of the same color, you can make basic pieces into a statement. Start practicing this crowd-pleasing trend by investing in pieces that can be worn together or separately, like a suit.
Focus on Fab Frames
Trade in your tortoiseshells for specs with some 'tude! When looking for new specs, contrast is key: reds and purples work best for fair-skinned blondes, blues for brunettes, and shocking shades work best for darker skin and hair. Look for shades with a flash of unexpected color to make a statement!
Bat Oh-La-La Eyes
It's a look that's part surfer girl, part elegant seductress – a cool swatch of color underscoring your baby blues, browns, or greens. As seen on the spring runway, this look works for any eye color. Re-create the look by starting at the inner corner of your eye with a silver liner. Use a bold jewel tone at the center and then emphasize the outer corner with a black wing shape!
Pump Up Your Mani
Bring the glam of 1920s art deco design into your life with a moon mani, starring two contrasting shades. Paint on the darker hue. Use French manicure strips to create a border for the moon shape, and paint on the fluorescent color. Peel off the manicure strips when dry, and enjoy your new pumped up look!
Electrify Your Lips
Runway makeup artists have ditched girl-next-door pinks for fluorescent pouts. (Like Kerry Washington) Start by exfoliating lips, pat on some foundation, and use a pencil to ensure a neat outline. Then carefully apply the bold hue of your choice!
For more ways to incorporate color in your life, 'InStyle''s April issue, THE COLOR ISSUE, can be found on newsstands today!

Dahntay Jones + AJ Price + #10 to Portland
Rudy Fernandez + Jarryd Bayless #22 to Indiana
Pretty good trade. Who does Portland want at #10? Who do we take at #22?
Portland does want to move up, but I don't know who they're after. They'd be a really good fit for a guy like Bradley or Bledsoe. Most people seem to think they'd like another big, so Udoh or Patterson might be an option.This quote is hidden because you are ignoring this member. Show Quote
At #22 there's a slim possibility that Bledsoe or Bradley falls. You could also grab a guy like Larry Sanders.
"A man with no belly has no appetite for life."
- Salman Rushdie
Good Job. It seems like Portland has been trying to trade Rudy, and he could play here. Bayless would work out at the point. He has improved over the last two years. The only question would be does Portland want D.Jones and an injured Price. I guess someone would have to fall for them to want to move up to the 10th spot. I would do it if just about any of the PF's that should be there are available. I am not really sold on any of them.

I like this trade as well, but it definitely would depend on who's available for #10 for both teams.
The Pacers would get Bayless after all, and I've always liked Rudy Fernandez, though I was like impressed with him last year with his play, as well as his pouting. Perhaps he was just unhappy with Portland, but would he really get much time before Rush and Granger?
Doesn't even throw in a healthy Dunleavy.
I dont think Portland will give Rudy Fernandez in that deal. Theyre really high on Rudy. They turned down David Lee for Rudy Fernandez
"So, which one of you guys is going to come in second?" - Larry Bird before the 3 point contest. He won.
I don't think they're still as high on him, and I know he's not high on them anymore, so they may look to move him.This quote is hidden because you are ignoring this member. Show Quote
I'd also love to get the rights to Petteri Koponen from the Blazers

Since 1986, Artspace in downtown Raleigh's City Market has been a home for artists to create and showcase their pieces.
It's also been a great place for families to visit. Here visitors can see a variety of art. There's everything from jewelry, painting and sculptures to textiles, portraits and ceramics. Some pieces are commercial; others are more conceptual. You'll find classic landscapes next to modern sculptures. Admission is free.
And while visitors are walking the halls and popping into the studios, they can watch the artists as they actually paint, sculpt or otherwise create and talk to them about their work.
"It's a great thing to do for all ages," said Mary Poole, the executive director. "It provides a unique opportunity to have one-on-one conversations with live artists and see their work." Destination: Artspace in downtown Raleigh
I've taken my kids here many times. Just across Moore Square from Marbles Kids Museum, Artspace is a great place to start a day downtown or extend it. Over the years, my kids, particularly my older daughter, have even been able to "help" artists, fingering clay for a new pot or painting a stroke on canvas.
With 30 artists studios, along with a rotation of exhibits featuring local and national artists, there's always something new to see.
Artspace also offers a full slate of summer programs for kids. The Summer Arts Program for rising third graders to rising sophomores starts June 17 and is led by artists, often with an education background. Topics include embroidered pillows, pinhole photography, bookmaking and many other subjects.
During the week-long sessions, kids usually work on a big project. At the end of the summer, a Family Fun Day, scheduled this year for Aug. 24, showcases their work and offers other activities. That event is free and open to the public.
A pre-college program is available for rising juniors and seniors who are interested in pursuing art in college.
More than 600 kids take part in Artspace's summer programs. These fill up pretty quickly, but Poole tells me that there are some openings in some of the programs.
"We really pride ourselves on teaching the technique and really wanting the kids to be impressed and amazed by what they create," Poole tells me.
Artspace is open 10 a.m. to 6 p.m., Tuesday through Saturday. During First Friday, on the first Friday of the month, it stays open until 10 p.m. and offers special activities or exhibit openings.
There are other special events throughout the year, including 10 a.m. to 6 p.m., May 18, during downtown Raleigh's Artsplosure. Artspace will have make-and-take activities and artist demonstrations inside and outside along the street. Most of the activities will be from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m.
Artspace also ventured out of downtown Raleigh last month when it opened a pop-up location at North Hills. The space is like a mini-Artspace with artists at work, exhibits, classes and a make-and-take craft that's designed for all ages.
The space is open from 3 p.m. to 7 p.m., Thursday and Friday, and 10 a.m. to 2 p.m., Saturday, through June 29.
Those classes include three for kids. A Sushi Creations with Felting class is 10:30 a.m. to 1:30 p.m., Saturday, for rising sixth to eighth graders. Kids will make one-of-a-kind sushi rolls out of fiber. The fee is $35 plus a $12 registration fee.
Also scheduled: Still Life Painting for rising third to fifth graders on June 1 and Encaustic with Mixed Media and Collage on June 8.
Registration is required. Click here for details and to sign up.
Artspace will be with Go Ask Mom at our event at North Hills, which is 9 a.m. to 1 p.m., Wednesday, in the commons area next to Starbucks and Ben & Jerry's. They'll offer a fun craft for kids from 10 a.m. to noon. Kids can make heart-shaped bookmarks. I'm excited to have them on board for all of the fun!
To learn more about Artspace, watch my video interview with Poole and go to the website.
And a big thank you to artists Kiki Farish, Keith Norval and Anna Podris for letting me interrupt their day for a bit.
Go Ask Mom features places to take kids every Friday. Check our parks and playground reviews and posts on Triangle family destinations for more ideas.

Cards consider giving Wainwright extra rest
ST. LOUIS -- Adam Wainwright will make his next scheduled start on Tuesday, but the Cardinals have not ruled out the possibility of building in extra rest for the right-hander if there are continued concerns of fatigue.
While Wainwright has downplayed a connection between his workload (464 2/3 innings since the start of 2013) and his second-half slide (3-5 with a 4.68 ERA and 1.94 strikeout-to-walk ratio), general manager John Mozeliak acknowledged that the two may not be entirely unrelated.
"I think there are a lot of people speculating on a lot of things going on with Adam," Mozeliak said on Friday. "Fatigue certainly could be a plausible answer. Going back to the All-Star break and not being able to take full advantage of that, to rolling into being how he's used, is something you can always look back at.
"If there is a way to getting him extra rest, we'll certainly have to consider it. But this time of year, the type of race we're in, it's going to be hard to do."
The Cardinals are not yet sold on adjusting Wainwright's September schedule and will see how he fares against the Pirates next week before making any decisions. If the Cardinals keep with their current rotation order, Wainwright is set to make another five starts before the end of the regular season.

Hello, first, I want to thank all these people working on Postgresql and Psqlodbc in any way for their good job! The last weekend, through one day and one night, I found out, that the ODBC Driver psqlodbc-08_00_0101 does not work correct in conjunction with MS Access 97. But correct works psqlodbc-07_02_0004! My database is running on PostgreSQL 8.0.3/Linux. By using MS Access 97 with linked tables together with psqlodbc-08_00_0101 these problems occur: 1. Tables at Postgresql with a varchar(x) primary key or primary keys combined of several columns: If linked in Ms Access 97 all columns are marked as "Deleted". Access is not able to use the primary keys. 2. Columns in tables in Postgresql with type "text", when linked in Access are not recognized correctly as "Memo" by Access. Instead they are recognized as "Text" by Access, with a maximum of 255 (or 256?) chars. "Text" in Access is the same type as Varchar(256) in Postgresql. "Memo" in Access is nearly the same type as "text" or varchar (unlimited) in Postgreql. For me it took a long time to figure this out, because whenever i deinstalled psqlodbc-08_00_0101, the dlls remained on disk. Several times I installed an other psqlodbc-driver, but every time in reality psqlodbc-08_ 00_0101 was used again by Access. I had to delete the psql*.dlls by hand to be able to reinstall psqlodbc-07_02_0004. Because the development is going on, it makes me insecure, that the function of psqlodbc was changed in a way that in newer versions it is unusable with MS Access. Alles Gute and have a good time, Christof (For mail change "devnull" to my first name.) -- oans zwoa drei fia #/&wrxfs$%pff3rx4656tspf&x=#%xkro&(w53x4bl=h)$%

RICHMOND (WRIC)—The Richmond Police Department is investigating a convenience store shooting that sent three people, including a child, to the hospital on Tuesday evening.
The shooting occurred around 7 p.m. on Feb. 18, in the parking lot of the Fine Food convenience store at 4904 Government Road in the city's Fulton neighborhood. The entire 4900 block of Government Road was shut down for hours Tuesday night as a result.
Eyewitnesses say they heard multiple gunshots.
"We heard, like, about five or six gunshots, and then we noticed three, four young guys running by the shop," said barber Tony Dunaway, who witnessed the incident.
The three victims, two adults and a boy under the age of 10, were all sent to the hospital with non-life-threatening injuries and are expected to recover.
Police are unsure of the victims' connection, if any, to the shooter(s).
"We desperately need people to come out and tell us what happened," said Lieutenant Daniel Minton. "Our youngest victim is a juvenile … people shouldn't stand for that."
Richmond Police are looking for two young men, possibly even teenagers, who ran away from the scene.
"That's why I try to give the young guys around here a little few dollars to do little things to try to keep them out of trouble … so stuff like this won't happen," Dunaway said.
Anyone with information pertaining to this incident is asked to contact Crime Stoppers of Metro Richmond at 804-780-1000.

OldMarksman: Actually, the experts who recommend taking up a defensive position and calling 911 rather than trying to confront an intruder include all of the well-known instructors, trainers, and writers in the field of home defense.
I live in an apartment, one way in and one way out. I will be hid behind cover to open fire as they come through the living room door, just about the only way to get in. I won't be calling 911 till the gunfight is over, because I will not give away my position to the intruders. There is no exit to retreat. I am confident that I can stop any one, two or three intruders coming through the door with my S&W 625-5 45 Long Colt and my CA Bulldog 44 Spl.
My home is not the typical one which might have 2 or 3 ways to get in or out. Once the gunfight is over, I will then call 911. Intruders with good hearing might hear someone dialing and know which way to direct their gunfire. Armed or unarmed they will not make it beyond the living room door.
I do understand however, that others who have a way to exit their home to escape with family might choose that option. I do not have an option except to stop them at the entry point.
