Recording, processing and using your personal data
Your personal data includes information such as your name, address, phone number and email address. Personal data shall only be collected, processed and/or used if you transmit it to us willingly, e.g. for the purposes of initiating, specifying the content of or amending a contractual relationship between yourself and us, or registering for personalised services. Furthermore, your personal data shall only be used if you have consented to such use in advance, e.g. for the receipt of advertising and market research information.
You can use this website to order a newsletter or publications by Volkswagen AG (e.g. annual reports), or to send a contact request. Personal data provided in this context shall be collected, processed and used exclusively for the provision of the respective service to the extent of your consent. Volkswagen AG uses the 'double opt-in process' in this respect. An email will be sent to you at the email address provided requesting you to confirm your consent here. You may withdraw your consent to Volkswagen AG at any time and free of charge with immediate effect, e.g. by using the "unsubscribe" link provided in each newsletter or by sending an e-mail to the following address email@example.com.
Targeted advertising (Targeting)
Volkswagen AG creates pseudonymised user profiles for the purposes of targeted advertising (targeting). Pseudonumisation refers to the replacement of the name and other identifying features with an indicator in order to make it considerably more difficult or impossible to identify the person concerned. Cookies are used for this purpose. Cookies are small files containing configuration information and are saved on your computer. The cookie tracks information about your activities on the website in question (for example, your browsing habits, which pages you visit, which ad banners you click on, etc.). Most web browsers automatically accept cookies by default. You can prevent the creation of a pseudonymised user profile at any time with immediate effect by changing your browser settings so that no cookies, or only certain cookies, are accepted or so that you are notified as soon as cookies are transmitted. This may mean that you cannot use all of the features on our website to their full extent. In addition, you may withdraw your consent to the processing of this data by clicking on the following link. You have the option there of deactivating the pseudonymised data processing by confirming with "OK" the dialogue box which then opens. By clicking on "OK" the placement of an opt-out cookie is initiated on your computer in which your consent withdrawal preference is stored.
Please click here to deactivate the pseudonymised data collection.
Please note that withdrawing your consent using an opt-out cookie will only work if your browser settings allow the use of cookies. If you delete this opt-out cookie, use a different browser or switch device, you will need to withdraw your consent to the pseudonymised data collection once again. Please note that by deleting all cookies, you will also delete the aforementioned opt-out cookie and will need to reinstall it. More information on cookies is available in our Cookie guidelines.
Use of Adobe Analytics
This website uses the Adobe Analytics web analytics service to evaluate user access. For the purposes of this evaluation cookies are stored on your computer to collect information, which is also stored on the servers of Adobe Systems Software Ireland Limited ("Adobe"). You may withdraw your consent to the collection and processing of this data at any time with immediate effect by preventing the storage of cookies through changing your browser settings. In addition, you may withdraw your consent to the processing of this data by clicking on the following link. You have the option there of withdrawing consent to the evaluation by Adobe Analytics by confirming with "OK" the dialogue box which then opens. By clicking on "OK" the placement of an opt-out cookie is initiated on your computer in which your consent withdrawal preference is stored.
Please click here to withdraw consent to the evaluation by Adobe Analytics.
Please note that withdrawing your consent using an opt-out cookie will only work if your browser settings allow the use of cookies. If you delete this cookie, use a different browser or switch device, you will need to opt out of the use of Adobe Analytics once again. Please note that by deleting all cookies, you will also delete the aforementioned cookie and will need to reinstall it. More information on cookies is available in our Cookie guidelines.
It is not possible to link the information stored on the Adobe servers directly to a specific person, since Adobe Analytics is used with the "Before Geo-Lookup: Replace visitor's last IP octet with 0" and "Obfuscate IP-Removed" settings selected. The "Before Geo-Lookup: Replace visitor's last IP octet with 0" setting ensures that the IP address is anonymised before this geolocalisation by replacing the final octet of the IP address with zeroes. For the purposes of statistical evaluation, the user's approximate location is added to the tracking package, which still contains the full IP address. Before the tracking package is saved, the IP address is then replaced with an individual, fixed IP address – referred to as a generic IP address – if the "Obfuscate IP –Removed" setting has been configured. This means that the IP address is no longer contained in a data set that is saved.

Choreography by: Peter Martins
Music by: Astor Piazzolla
Set in the seductive twilight of an Argentinean evening, Todo Buenos Aires puts the tango on pointe while maintaining its sultry heat and rhythmic beat.
Danced against lush black and purple drapery, the five dances that comprise this work offer different interpretations of tango. The original production of the ballet premiered on May 3, 2000, and was set to two Piazzolla tangos, La Mufa and Todo Buenos Aires, which had been orchestrated by composer John Adams. An expanded and re-choreographed version of the ballet, which premiered January 8, 2005, featured guest artist Julio Bocca. For this production, NYCB Orchestra member Ron Wasserman arranged five Piazzolla tangos, including La Mufa and Todo Buenos Aires, for chamber orchestra.

What Is Maitake Used for Today? | Dosage | Safety Issues | References
Grifola frondosa
Maitake is a medicinal mushroom used in Japan as a general promoter of robust health. As with Coriolus versicolor, shiitake, and reishi (all fungi), innumerable healing powers have been attributed to maitake, ranging from curing cancer to preventing heart disease. Unfortunately, there hasn't been enough reliable research yet to determine whether any of these ancient beliefs are really true.
Contemporary herbalists classify maitake as an adaptogen, a substance said to help the body adapt to stress and resist infection (see the article on Ginseng for further explanation about adaptogens). However, we lack definitive scientific evidence to show us that maitake (or any other purported adaptogen) really functions in this way.
Most investigation has focused on the polysaccharide constituents of maitake. This family of substances is known to affect the human immune system in complex ways, and one in particular, beta-D-glucan, has been studied for its potential benefit in treating cancer and HIV.1,2 Highly preliminary studies also suggest that maitake may be useful in treating diabetes, hypertension (high blood pressure), and high cholesterol.3-4 However, there is no real evidence as yet that maitake is effective for these or any other illnesses.
Maitake is an edible mushroom that can be eaten as food or made into tea. A typical dosage of dried maitake in capsule or tablet form is 3 to 7 g daily.
Maitake is widely believed to be safe, although formal safety studies have not been performed. Safety in young children, pregnant or nursing women, or those with severe liver or kidney disease has not been established.

XML and
XML seems to be a faster option as it can be deserialized by browser itself (into a documentElement), while
JSON must be deserialized by a JavaScript library. On the other hand, there is a standard for storing geospatial data in
GeoJSON), so using
JSON would make the application more standard-compliant.
So my question is, is there an
XML equivalent to
GeoJSON? I found out that the term
GeoXML has already been coined, but it is the name of a library, not a format standard.

awaddell necesitaba un nuevo diseño de logotipo y lanzó un concurso de diseño en 99designs.
Un ganador ha sido elegido entre 57 diseños de 14 diseñadores freelance.
We need a logo that we can then incorporate into a new web page.
Sumi Software Thailand
I apologise that I don't have a lot to work with. You can see something simple that I did at:
I'dlike to use the tokay gecko for the logo. The colours in that image arepretty unique but they'd need to be tweeked for web page usage.
The image is not mine (this site is not used) and the idea of a gecko is just a starting point (else we'd have nothing right?).
So, it'd be best to use the idea of the tokay gecko along with it's colours in a quick hand-drawn image.
about us
We provide outsourced/offshored software development and are looking to attract new clients from any country. To date, we've been working on billing and ISP-related software so you can imagine that future prospective clients would include ISPs and carriers.
We also have our own work that we will release under GPL or some other open-source model - so we'd expect to be providing a website that includes forums and community support for the open-source part of the project as well as a business-oriented side for the 'enterprise version'.
- Simple
- Unique - not a Web2.0 cliche
- cheap - this is the first of and least valuable of four and all need websites so I'm here to see if 99designs will work for me.
- I think the gecko image needs an artist's touch and some inspiration to create a hand-drawn facsimile. I like the 'scribbled' look - ie I would say that 99designs' own logo looks 'scribbled'
- the actual logo text is per the brand name. Fonts and colours are up to the designer.
- sorry I'm not graphic - I'm not overly fussy though and this site just needs it's first logo hence the low prize
- not *too* serious
- not too complicated
- no issues with colours for web page etc

Dealing with a serial rapist: Professionals weigh in
Here's some small comfort for women concerned about the serial rapist: You're far more likely to be raped by an acquaintance than by the predator who's preying on local women.
In fact, 90 percent of all sexual assaults are committed by people the victims know. So what makes this serial rapist so terrifying?
"This one feeds on our fears," says Jessica Cochran, a training coordinator at SARA, the Sexual Assault Resource Agency. "The black guy, the stranger who's physically violent. It's easier to talk about stranger rape when it's clearly not your fault."
Cochran blames part of the terror on media sensationalizing a particular story, pointing out that there are many stories of rape that are never covered. And she says in theory, all rapists are serial rapists because they usually rape more than once.
The FBI estimates that a woman is sexually assaulted every two minutes. Most of those rapes are never reported at all: Only 39 percent of sexual assaults are reported to police, and only 11 percent of the perpetrators are arrested, says Cochran.
Her advice to women: "It's okay to be scared." Cochran doesn't believe the onus of responsibility should be placed on females. "You can put bars on your windows and never leave your home and still be attacked," she says.
Instead, Cochran believes that "the perpetrator needs to be held accountable." She adds, "This guy is clearly a deviant."
She also would like to see more media education about rape and sexual assault, and what people should do if it happens to a family member. SARA's hotline at 977-7273 is one local resource; UVA's Sexual Assault Education Office is at 982-2774.
Claire Kaplan, coordinator of the UVA office, says she's surprised at the lack of concern by undergraduates about the attacks. She theorizes that because the police press conference happened near the end of the semester, coeds may have been focusing more on exams. "Undergrads are very good at disassociating," she says.
And while news of a serial rapist is alarming, Kaplan says the number of sexual assaults reported at UVA "is pretty average" compared to other college towns. The numbers for 2002, which are still incomplete, are 21; in 2001, 33 sexual assaults were reported, three more than in 2000.
Kaplan decries advice like "Lock your door" because "it assumes women have no common sense." (Police still believe locking one's door is a basic safety precaution, particularly against a rapist who has been gaining entry through unlocked doors or windows.)
If women are really fearful, Kaplan urges them to take self-defense classes. "Self defense is trying to keep your head on straight to strategize, even if it means complying to get out alive," she says.
But even sexual assault professionals are being more cautious. SARA's Christine Hall says, "For me, I'm paying a little more attention to locking my door or when walking to get my mail because of heightened awareness."Read more on: Nathan Antonio Washington

CFPR UWE helps save 'integral part of English ceramic history' by combining late 19th century and digital print techniques
UWE Bristol's Centre for Fine Print Research (CFPR) is helping retain traditional English pottery decorating skills by finding ways of combining them with digital print techniques.
Professor Steve Hoskins, director of the CFPR, and Mr Dave Huson are collaborating with Burleigh Pottery in Stoke-on-Trent, the last remaining company to produce ceramic tableware decorated using the traditional printed underglaze tissue method. The pottery was saved from the threat of closure by the Princes' Regeneration Trust in June 2011.
The CFPR has just been awarded an Arts and Humanities Research Council (AHRC) grant worth £119,970 for a 12 month project called 'Combining Digital Print Technologies with 18th Century Underglaze Ceramic Printing to Retain an Industrial Heritage Process'.
Underglaze tissue ceramic transfer printing was first developed in the mid-18th century and involved the use of engraved or etched metal plates, from which the tissue was printed with a cobalt blue colour- the famous 'Willow Pattern' being a well-known example. Underglaze tissue has a very distinctive, subtle quality – it is an integral part of English ceramic history, and cannot be replicated by any other means.
When the Princes' Regeneration Trust became involved, this saved 50 jobs, maintaining the traditional manufacturing skills unique to the Burleigh Pottery at Middleport, and preserving the historic buildings, collection of moulds and machinery for the next 25 years.
Steve said, "There is a long-term issue with both the maintenance and production of printing rollers and plates, which in the past have been hand-engraved. This project aims to address that issue by introducing the potential of printing traditional potter's underglaze tissue and applying it in the same way as the late 18th Century process, but creating the plate from a digital file. This means reducing the time from one month needed to engrave a roller to less than a day to create a digital equivalent, whilst retaining the integrity of the final product."
This project builds upon previous AHRC funded research in 2000 in which Steve researched the combination of the digital capabilities of flexographic printing technology and the earliest printing processes first developed for the ceramic industry in the 1780s.
Underglaze transfer printing continued to be used in the UK ceramics industry up until the 1980s. However from the 1950s it began to be supplemented, first by screen printing, because it was relatively slow and required skilled artisans to apply the transfers. However because screen-printed transfers are on top of the glaze the image will wear and fade in a dishwasher and has none of the subtleties, delicate qualities and permanence of underglaze.
Sarah Heaton of Burleigh says, "Burleigh is now the last company left in the UK to use these time-honoured methods. This project offers the potential to retain important skills within the pottery industry and make sure that an extant and working Victorian Pottery remains a viable part of the community and the nation's industrial heritage."
Steve continued, "We aim to collaborate with Burleigh to consolidate a commercial future and retain the unique skill-base for this historic, very English, process whose development is part of a uniquely English form and thus of our cultural heritage.
"The aesthetic qualities of underglaze tissue transfer are not reproducible by other methods and it offers numerous artistic as well as commercial possibilities. Once the image is printed it can then be transferred in the traditional way to unglazed biscuit-fired ceramic ware. The resultant print is then fired, bonding the image permanently to the ceramic surface, and a clear glaze applied which both protects the printed image and enhances the colour of the pigments."

Road has seen numerous incidents
Two men were killed in a single-vehicle crash that occurred either late Monday or Tuesday on Catfish Lake Road in Craven County.
The N.C. Highway Patrol identified the driver of the car as Skyler D. Way, 19, of Gouvemeur, N.Y., and the passenger in the vehicle as Nicholas S. Buscarnera, 19, of Mastic Beach, N.Y. Both were Marines with 2nd Supply Battalion, Combat Logistics Regiment 25, 2nd Marine Logistics Group at Camp Lejeune, according to information from the base.
Steve Barrette, an officer with the U.S. Forest Service, discovered the vehicle upside down and partially submerged in a canal just off the dirt road around 10:25 p.m. on Tuesday. The Highway Patrol indicated the vehicle had been in the canal for some time.
The Highway Patrol in a release said the driver was exceeding a safe speed, lost control, ran off the dirt road to the left and overturned in the canal. The wreck happened near the Craven County-Jones County line.
Havelock Fire and Rescue personnel responding to the crash noted through radio transmissions the rough conditions of the dirt road near the crash scene.
Barrette told the Highway Patrol that he had earlier encountered some Marines on Catfish Lake Road looking for friends. The last known contact with those missing Marines was a phone call at 9:47 p.m. Monday.
Fire departments from Township Six and Havelock responded to the crash, and the Highway Patrol is continuing its investigation.
Catfish Lake Road stretches 16 miles between U.S. 70 in Craven County and N.C. 58 in Jones County, and cuts through the heart of the Croatan National Forest. About 12 1/2 miles of the road is dirt and gravel, and beyond recreational activities, the road is sometimes used as a shortcut between Havelock and Jacksonville.
But, the road has a history of fatal crashes, including one on April 17, 2011, in which a family of five was killed when their vehicle flipped into the roadside canal. That crash was the last fatal wreck on the road before Tuesday night, according to the Highway Patrol.
In a 10-year period from 2001 to 2011, the Highway Patrol reported 280 crashes on Catfish Lake Road and 10 fatalities, including a 2010 crash that killed two Cherry Point Marines when the driver lost control of the vehicle.
In 2010, Marine Corps Installations East banned Marines from driving on the road to commute between Cherry Point, and Camp Lejeune and New River, citing a high volume of crashes. Marines are permitted to drive on the road if they are in the national forest for recreational activities. The order came after a series of crashes that killed one Marine and injured others, including one critically.

THE sharemarket reversed some of Thursday's substantial losses, the biggest one-day fall since May, closing above 5000 points to end the week on a positive note.
The S&P/ASX 200 Index rose 0.8 per cent on Friday, up 38 points to 5018.1, and the broader All Ords rose 38.1 points, 0.8 per cent, to 5036.7.
On the ASX 24, the March share price index futures contract reached 4996, 29 points higher with 39,902 contracts traded.
"Overall it [Thursday's loss] seemed to be a slight hiccup," CommSec analyst Steven Daghlian said. "The market is back up and both the ASX and the All Ords have crept back up above the 5000-point mark and that is a good sign."
Deutsche Bank's head of research sales, Glenn Morgan, said Thursday's heavy losses were an overreaction to what was said in the US Federal Reserve minutes about bond purchases.
"The outlook was probably more balanced than people thought on reflection," Mr Morgan said.
A fairly optimistic tone set by Reserve Bank governor Glenn Stevens in a statement to the House of Representatives standing committee on economics on Friday also lifted sentiment, with some economists speculating that the interest rate easing cycle could be coming to an end.
Mr Stevens said the high Australian dollar had helped offset the surge in investment in the mining industry, which otherwise would have led to higher interest rates.
All sectors ended higher on Friday. Gold rose 3.5 per cent, financials 0.8 per cent and materials 0.2 per cent. The big four banks all had gains, with Westpac and NAB each closing 1.3 per cent higher.
Miners BHP Billiton and Rio Tinto finished 0.8 per cent and 0.9 per cent lower respectively but Newcrest Mining rose 1.55 per cent.
Mr Morgan said the reporting season had turned the mood on the markets more positive, after fears at the start of the year that the rally would not have been backed up by companies' earnings.
"There have been a few disappointments but our analysts have been upgrading forecasts for the next two years during reporting season, something we haven't seen for quite a while," he said. "There's still be a bit of [price-earnings] expansion, but I think we've found a floor in earnings, companies have done a terrific job on costs and if we get a better macro-economic backdrop, the leverage to the upside could be quite large."
Telstra added 6¢ on Friday to $4.56 and Woolworths jumped 42¢, 1.24 per cent, to $34.27.
Billabong shares tumbled 5¢, 5.5 per cent, to 86¢ after the troubled surfwear retailer announced a half-year loss of $536.6 million and downgraded its underlying earnings.
Oil and gas producer Santos impressed investors enough with a positive outlook for cash flow from new liquefied natural gas projects to overshadow a fall in net profit, closing up 15¢ at $12.05.

Mitt Romney's week-long international trip resulted in unrelentingly negative coverage from the big three broadcast networks, a stark change from the glowing press awarded to then-candidate Barack Obama's world tour in 2008. While Obama was treated like a rock star (from the Associated Press: "It's not only Obama's youth, eloquence and energy that have stolen hearts across the Atlantic...."), Romney endured a focus on gaffes and the trivial.
MRC analysts examined all 21 ABC, CBS and NBC evening news stories about Romney's trip to London, Israel and Poland between July 25 and July 31. Virtually all of these stories (18, or 86%) emphasized Romney's "diplomatic blunders," from his "golden gaffe" at the Olympic games to "missteps" that offended the Palestinians.
The first of these "gaffes" was the former GOP governor asserting that security problems in London are not "encouraging." (This unsurprising point had previously been made by many in the media.)
Journalists pounced. On July 26, guest World News guest anchor Josh Elliott mocked, "Now to the war of words underway tonight in London, what's being called Mitt Romney's golden gaffe."
The comments came from an interview with NBC anchor Brian Williams. Initially, Nightly News didn't report the relatively innocuous remark, excluding it from a taped interview that ran on July 25. However, by July 26, Williams had caught up with a British tabloid press angry at "Mitt the Twit." The anchor opened the show by trumpeting, "[Romney's statement] erupted today in public and now the question is, how did a Romney campaign overseas trip end up offending so many people here in London?"
That same night, CBS Evening News anchor Scott Pelley also led with Romney's comments about the Olympic games. He insisted, after just one day of a week-long tour, that the trip was getting attention "for all the wrong reasons" and deemed the former governor's remarks "a diplomatic blunder."
As the trip continued, so did the negative spin from the evening newscasts. Despite pressing economic and foreign policy problems facing the world, both ABC and CBS on July 27 highlighted trifling details such as Romney's motorcade in London getting stuck in traffic. (A snafu that partially validated the candidate's warning about the Olympics.) On CBS, Mark Phillips cast this as "another bad moment."
On July 29, Evening News correspondent Jeff Glor joined the pig pile: "After a rough first stop on his seven-day overseas trip, Mitt Romney was hoping Israel would go better than Britain. The day was not error-free." The "error" amounted to focusing on just how strong the Republican's language would be on Israel's defense against Iran.
Over seven days, Romney netted 53 minutes worth of stories from the three networks. In comparison, Obama's 2008 tour through the Middle East and Europe resulted in 92 minutes for eight days. (The tour resulted in news segments that encompassed full reports and anchor briefs.)
In July of 2008, Barack Obama's international tour took him to Israel where, in an attempt to show toughness over Iran, the then-senator incorrectly told reporters that he was a member of the Senate Banking committee. (Obama erroneously referred to "his" committee's calls for divestment from Iran.) There was no outcry and no reporting of "errors" or "gaffes," at least on the three broadcast evening newscasts.
Obama's 2008 foreign tour, unlike Romney's 2012 version, received glowing coverage.
When the Democrat arrived in Berlin to speak, Brian Williams could hardly contain himself. On the July 24, 2008 Nightly News, he trumpeted, "...The man from Chicago, Illinois, the first ever African-American running as presumptive nominee of the Democratic Party, brought throngs of people into the center of Berlin, streaming into this city, surging to get close to him, to hear his message."
On the same program, Andrea Mitchell was beside herself, marveling at the large crowds: "It's hard to figure out what the comparison is. What do you compare this with?"
Then-CBS Evening News anchor Katie Couric couched the visit in the most favorable terms, hyping, "Barack Obama extends the hand of friendship to Europe."
At the end of Romney's tour, Brian Williams summed up the week as concluding "with controversy, some hurt feelings, and some raw tempers." NBC reporter Peter Alexander highlighted a Romney aide who swore at journalists for screaming questions just after the candidate left the Polish Tomb of the Unknown Soldier.
Alexander lectured that the trip was "at times marred by missteps" and that "Romney offend[ed] his Olympic hosts and Palestinian leaders."
While Romney's trip resulted in his most substantial coverage since wrapping up the Republican primary, the stories were overwhelmingly negative. Contrasted with the fawning coverage Barack Obama received four years ago, the network's rough coverage of Romney's trip stands as yet another reminder of the media's double standard when it comes to Barack Obama and any conservative candidate who might get in his way.

What Is Intercessory Prayer for Healing?
By Amy
The subject of intercessory prayer for healing was a bit foreign for Bible study leader Alan Huggett. When his small group arrived at the Center for Prayer Mobilization located in the San Jacinto Mountains for a weekend retreat he was not sure what to expect. Neither did the rest of the group.
"Not really having any experience with intercessory prayer, and it wasn't really taught too much in my upbringing in the church, it was something new to me. However, I did go in with an open mind," said Huggett, 43, who had previously attended a Presbyterian church, then a Mennonite Brethren church, and now a nondenominational congregation in Southern California.
During the retreat at the center led by Pastor Tim Price, Huggett and the others listened to biblical teachings on letting go of resentment and emotional pain from past experiences in their lives. They were also "prayed over" by Price, his wife, and an assistant during intense prayer sessions that included the laying of hands on a few members of the Bible study for physical and emotional healing.
The sessions also included brief moments of the center's staff speaking in tongues. For most of the group, having come from mainly mainstream church backgrounds, intercessory prayer and the techniques used in Price's healing ministry were an introduction into something entirely new.
"There are different styles of intercessory prayer. I think of Romans 8:34 where it says that Jesus sits at the right hand of the Father and He intercedes for us," Price told The Christian Post. "Intercession is simply praying for someone else in a manner that the Lord directs. For CPM and our ministry we are looking specifically at healing intercession."
Intercessory prayer is nothing new in Christian history and the community. However, the practice of doing so within a ministry is still widely unknown.
"We have a large number of people that have never heard of this type of ministry before," said Price when talking about those who have attended his center. "In the '90s the Church didn't know what to do with us. We were either a cult or at best way out in left field. Inner healing is becoming more and more acceptable to the general population of the Church."
In 1861, speaking on the subject of intercessory prayer during a sermon, renowned Rev. C.H. Spurgeon said, "Four things I would speak of this morning, and yet but one thing; I would speak upon intercessory prayer thus - first, by way of commending the exercise; secondly, by way of encouraging you to enlist in it; thirdly, by way of suggestion, as to the persons for whom you should especially pray; and fourthly, by way of exhortation to all believers to undertake and persevere in the exercise of intercession for others."
When asked whether there was a particular strategy for this type of prayer, Price answered, "Most of what we get in terms of personal prayer and inner healing is from the Holy Spirit. Basically we go before the Lord and ask, 'Okay, how do you want to proceed with this? Where do we need to go?' Then, through an interview process we develop what we need to do first."
During the retreat with Huggett's small group, members were asked to think about what they wanted to "leave behind" about themselves. Those that revealed to Price and the group what their "emotional baggage" or, in some cases, physical ailments were, were then prayed for.
Price said he became interested in praying for "the wounded and broken" through the pastor of his church in the early 1990s. "At that time there were some personal events in my life that needed some attention," he said.
The leaders of today's intercessory prayer healing movement are John and Paula Sandford, said Price. The couple are founders of Elijah House, Inc., an international ministry established in 1975 "in response to the Lord's calling in Malachi 4:5-6 and Matthew 17:11."
"One of the most important things from my aspect is that we have a lot of people sitting in the churches that deep down inside really want to do something, but most of them are so wounded that when they try to step out they get slammed by either the spiritual opposition and/or the woundedness of people within the church," Price explained. "Their buttons start to get pushed and they say it's not worth it. The whole aspect is that the more inner healing that we have and the more we deal with our own stuff and our own issues, the farther we can progress and the less stuff that the enemy has to play with, so to speak."
He added, "There is a lot of discussion in regards to the inner healing prayer that we do as a ministry. There are some that don't agree with styles and techniques that are used by different ministries. We want to stay in tune with the Holy Spirit and only go to the areas and places that the Holy Spirit and the guest want to go. Again depending on your personal belief system there can be a lot of discussion about the type of ministry that we do."
Huggett said he had an enlightening discussion with one of the center's assistants during a break in between sessions.
He said he felt more comfortable with the concept of an intercessory prayer ministry for healing that includes speaking in tongues after "really seeing the sincerity in her heart and the openness and the love coming out of her."
"She is really attempting to communicate directly with God in the process of interceding, not trying to communicate to the actual person she is praying for," Huggett said. He also liked how specific and detailed the prayers were for the needs of group members.
"It was really a wonderful time together in God and I saw how other people in my small group were touched by it and how it caused change in them," he said. "I want to see more laying of hands and praying for small group members incorporated into our group. I saw prayer as a more intimate act of unselfishness."

Man accused of setting New Smyrna Beach home on fire with girlfriend inside
Troy Ladd arrested outside house
NEW SMYRNA BEACH, Fla. – A man was arrested on attempted murder charges in Volusia County early Monday after being accused of setting a house ablaze while his girlfriend slept inside.
Troy Ladd, 49, was also arrested on arson charges in connection with the incident, which began late Sunday at a home in the 2000 block of Mallonee Road in New Smyrna Beach.
When deputies arrived to the scene just after midnight, firefighters were already engaged in fighting the fire as Ladd stood in the middle of the road, according to the Volusia County Sheriff's Office report. When deputies asked what had happened, he said that he had been in the backyard burning his possessions, then said, "You might as well go ahead and arrest me."
Ladd's 46-year-old girlfriend, Deborah Jeffers, said at 10 p.m. he was in the backyard burning some of his belongings, which included his clothes, television and a video game system. She woke up a few minutes before midnight because of popping noises she could hear.
When she got up out of the bedroom to see what the noises were, she saw Ladd with a gas can, pouring gasoline on the living room couch and then he continued to walk into other rooms pouring gasoline as he went.
"I was terrified," she told Local 6. "I was shaking so bad I couldn't see straight."
She fled outside and found her Jeep already set on fire, which was the popping noises she heard. She asked some neighbors, who were outside, to call 911.
"I was stuck over in the other side of the yard because I was afraid it was going to blow up," Jeffers said.
At no time during the incident did Ladd try to wake his girlfriend up or warn her in any way about the fire. Ladd was booked into the Volusia County Branch Jail in Daytona Beach and was denied bond at his first appearance.

Digital UK has warned telly viewers in Britain that they have until 24 October 2012 to ditch their analogue receivers, or equip them with a digital set-top box.
One year and ten days from today, the last analogue telly transmission will be switched off, the organisation said.
By then, the last remaining analogue areas, including London and Northern Ireland, will lose their old-format signals.
Britain has been transmitting TV signals to the public since the BBC began broadcasting a regular television service in 1936. Digital transmissions began on 15 November 1998, but didn't really kick off until the launch of Freeview on 30 October 2002.
Six years later, the campaign to encourage punters to switch from analogue to digital was initiated. ®

Kenmore History
Kenmore was primarily dense forest for many years while Bothell and Woodinville were being built up, and was mostly owned by investors. One of these investors, Philo Remington (inventor of Remington guns) sold some of the investment property to his son-in-law Watson C. Squire. Squire was the last territorial governor of Washington state and one of our states' first United States Senators. He erected a water tower and the availability of water attracted water squatters. Shirl Squire, his sister, a landscape architect in Massachusetts, had planned to make it into a residential waterfront park complete with lagoons, but Squire died in 1926 before he was able to build it.
Kenmore was named by John McMasters. He and his wife, Annie, were originally from the small town of Kenmore, Canada - 40 miles south of Ottawa. They arrived in Puget Sound in 1889 and leased land at Kenmore from Squire and named the area after his old home town. He took over a mill started by Fir Lumber in 1903 and at first was partnered with Chris Kruse, but bought him out in 1905. At first Kenmore was only the mill, its cookhouse, manager's house, bunkhouse and a few worker shacks. The mill was just at the edge of Lake Washington, where logs were floated to the area to be made into shingles for roofs and the sides of houses. The mill employed 35 - 40 men and stood east of the present Premix plant on the flat land beside the river. The mill burned down in 1923.
The Red Brick Highway, which was first called Squire Boulevard in Kenmore, then became Bothell Brick Road, opened in 1913 and stimulated growth in Kenmore.
After the end of the first World War, the Puget Mill Company (Pope & Talbot) offered small tracts of land. Homes were built north of the highway and between the main intersection and Swamp Creek. Progression of the Moorlands also started about the same time, especially after a bridge was built across the river about 1918. The Mitchell family built a store in 1919 at the Kenmore crossroads and the first service station went in the following year.
During the second half of the 20th Century, the population of Kenmore grew quickly. On August, 31, 1998 it was incorporated, making it the newest city in King County.

Another gluten-free blogger that I read wrote about a bad experience he had at Cheeseburger in Paradise. He titled the entry "Cheeseblunder in Paradise". We experienced a "Cheeseblunder in Paradise" today as well. This happened to be the Hilliard location.
We met some family there after touring the Anthony-Thomas Candy Factory (post re-cap to follow). We placed our order and the place was virtually empty. This was surprising because it was lunch hour on a weekday. While we did let the manager know that there were 2 gluten-free orders and he did follow them through, the service was extremely slow. Jon ordered a salad, cheeseburger & fries; I ordered the mahi mahi sandwich (sans buns and not blackened), veggies (which I told would be a medley & ended up being just broccoli) and a salad. My mahi mahi was horribly overcooked. I don't know what was going on there today, but for the amount of people that were in the restaurant, there was no reason for our food to take that long and for my fish to be that overcooked. I even had my Dad try the fish to make sure that it wasn't just me and he completely agreed. When we were finally checked on by the server, I let her know. She did offer to have it re-made, but by that time we had waited plenty long enough & having the fish re-made or ordering something else was out of the question. The manager also stopped by and they did take it off my bill, it is just frustrating. I did eat the broccoli, salad, some of Jon's fries and some dark chocolate, but not the meal I ordered. There are too many restaurants out there now offering gluten-free options to continue to frequent places that can't get it right, regardless if it is a gluten issue or another issue.
Edited to add:
Ben, from Cheeseburger in Paradise commented below regarding this experience. Here is my response to Ben:
Hi Ben,
I apologize for taking so long to respond. I really wanted to think about my response to your comment on my blog.
The specific incident that I blogged about was not a gluten faux pas, but a general failure in customer service. One would think that at lunch hour, there would be plenty of speedy service taking place, as most people only have 1 hour for lunch. And not only speedy service is expected, but being staffed appropriately as well. On the day we dined at CIP, the restaurant was dead. There really was no reason for our service to take as along as it did, unless mistakes were made in the kitchen that we were not made aware of. Overcooked fish, a different vegeatable than was ordered, though still gluten-free, no one checking back in the expected time frame, all contributed to the less than acceptable experience.
Now, there have been several other incidents when we have dined at CIP where our gluten-free food order has come out with buns on the burgers or chicken. We used to dine at CIP at least once a week for well over a year or 2, but have since stopped doing so. The reasons isn't necessarily due to gluten-free issues, but you get tired of eating the same thing over & over. The one problem that seemed to be consistent was salads that were ordered had gluten-containing wontons in them. Dressings were on the side or salad and there would frequently be other items from the line in the dressing (wontons, which aren't gluten-free is a huge concern). A way to avoid that is to get all gluten-free dressings straight from the container in the walk-in. Also, better education for the staff on gluten-free dining and how to avoid cross-contaimination since you have a gluten-free menu. There has been such a huge increase in the number of people following this diet due to the increased diagnosis of Celiac Disease AND the number of places that offer a gluten-free menu. To keep comptetive with those other eateries, you need to make sure that your staff is knowledgeable & consistent regarding the menus & diet. Just because a person has to follow a gluten-free diet shouldn't mean they have to settle on less than desirable food & experiences. This diet is not a diet that is followed by choice (like Atkins or South Beach), it is a diet that is followed out of necessity for health & wellness.
I love the concept of CIP and would love to continue to keep it on my list of places to dine, but I have to honest, the service that we had was not overly convincing to return any time soon.

Steve Rannazzisi has seen quite a bit of success over the last decade with his role on "The League" as well as several comedy gigs across major television networks. More often than not, he's attributed such achievements to the decisions he made following a narrow escape from the World Trade Center attacks on Sept. 11, 2001.
Throughout his rise to fame and up until just a few years ago, the 37-year-old actor told and re-told several publications that he was working at the Merrill Lynch offices on the 54th floor of the south tower when he saw the first plane strike the north tower.
"I was there and then the first tower got hit and we were like jostled all over the place," he explained during a podcast with Marc Maron in 2009.
U.S. & World
He then described himself fleeing to the street right before the second plane crashed into the south tower–a moment he said caused him to reevaluate his life, pick up and move to California with his girlfriend (now wife), Tracy Rannazzisi.
However, just days following the 14th anniversary of the tragic events, evidence that challenged the details of his account forced him to finally come clean in admitting he lied about the entire story.
"As a young man, I made a mistake that I deeply regret and for which apologies may still not be enough," he writes on his Twitter account. "After I moved with my wife to Los Angeles from New York City in 2001 shortly after 9/11, I told people that I was in one of the World Trade Center towers on 9/11. It wasn't true. I was in Manhattan but working in a building in midtown and I was not at the Trade Center on that day."
In fact, Rannazzisi had been working in Midtown that day, and not for Merrill Lynch, which has no record of his employment and didn't even have offices in either tower.
"I don't know why I said this. This was inexcusable," he continues. "I am truly, truly sorry. For many years, more than anything, I have wished that, with silence, I could somehow erase a story told by an immature young man. It only made me more ashamed. How could I tell my children to be honest when I hadn't come clean about this?"
And thus, he concludes, "It is to the victims of 9/11 and to the people that love them–and the people that love me–that I ask for forgiveness. It was profoundly disrespectful to those who perished and those who lost loved ones. The stupidity and guilt I have felt for many years has not abated. It was an early taste of having a public persona, and I made a terrible mistake."
It's unclear how news of his fraudulent story will affect his existing projects. The world premiere of his new Comedy Central series "Breaking Dad" is expected to premiere on Sept. 19.
"We just learned about this last night. We are very disappointed to hear about Steve's misrepresentations and are currently determining how we will move forward," Comedy Central said in a statement.
Rannazzisi is currently involved in a sponsorship with Buffalo Wild Wings.
"We are disappointed to learn of Steve's misrepresentations regarding the events of Sept. 11, 2001," Buffalo Wild Wings said in a statement Tuesday night. "We are currently re-evaluating our relationship with Steve pending a review of all the facts."

The "No on Proposition 29" campaign has taken the concept of distortion to new heights--or lows, depending on how you view it.
The tobacco industry-supported effort has been working hard to convince voters to turn down the proposition that would add one dollar to each pack of cigarettes.
California ranks 33rd among the states in tobacco taxes.
To date, tobacco interests have spent $40 million against the initiative, compared with less than $4 million raised by the proponents.
The industry spent $65 million to defeat another proposed tax increase in 2006.
The arguments this time around are remarkably similar to the misleading claims made in 2006. There are no lies per se, which makes the campaign almost artful in a devious sort of way. If nothing else, the opponents deserve an award for wordsmithing. So let's take a closer look.
The principal thrust comes via a television ad where a physician decries the proposal as a waste of tax payer dollars by stating that "not one penny goes for new spending on cancer treatment."
U.S. & World
Technically, she's right because the money would be dedicated for cancer research. Of course, the benefits from research ultimately extend to improved treatment.
In the "No on 29" ad, the spokesperson complains that the proposition would "spend money in other states."
Well, if the intent is to provide money for cancer research, it would make sense that some research might well be conducted where the best experts reside. Hmmmm.
Finally, the ad ends with the complaint that the proposal is nothing more than a huge bureaucracy.
Few words offend taxpayers more than the term "bureaucracy" because for many, the word is synonymous with government waste.
Never mind that police, firefighters, librarians, park rangers, teachers, DMV personnel, life guards, and yes, state-paid physicians are all bureaucrats.
Of course, we won't know for a month whether the "No on 29" campaign succeeds. Regardless, the effort once again reminds us how easy it is to to turn the the simplest proposition on its head with enough resources.
The question is, will the voters see through the smoke?

20 Amazing Examples of Colorful Web Designs
The use of colors is always a matter of challenge for the web designers. Often they feel extremely puzzled and lost when it comes to using colors in websites. Colors play a vital role in changing our mood. It can make us attracted to a certain thing and at the same way we can feel distracted due to an unpleasant color. The soothing colors of websites have the power to attract visitors to the sites while on the other hand haphazard use of vibrating colors or use of pale colors may ruin the site totally.
Since colors play a great role in the success of a website so it is not easy to deal with them. One has to be very careful while applying colors while designing a website. The proper use of colors can be done by the skilled web designers who have enough knowledge about the designing field. They must know which color is good for which type of website. The theme of the design should match the color scheme. For instance, if the website is about graphic designing then the colors that are used in that site must be vibrant and attractive. A magical effect must be created with colors in the design. On the other hand if the website is an online book store then the color combination must reflect that gravity of the business.
There are lots of websites that have pulsating colors of various shades and moods. Though selection of colors totally depends on the choice of the designers and the site owners, still common sense should be used while using the colors. For example, websites for fashion house, cosmetics, mobile phones, designer studios, event management, restaurants, web design, online shopping should have bright colors. These websites have lots of scopes to play with colors. People like to visit these types of websites for the energetic colors of the pages. Luminous colors of these websites reflect the energetic mood of these businesses. After all it is hard to imagine a shopping portal with pale colors like beige or a cosmetics site in dark sea green.
Here lies the significance of colors in website designing. Each and every color of this universe has a distinct significance and meaning in human life. In the same manner every website has some exclusive message to convey to its viewers. As a web designer one must have the capability to combine these two in their best possible way and create a perfect design for the site.

twoloaves necesitaba un nuevo diseño de logotipo y lanzó un concurso de diseño en 99designs.
Un ganador ha sido elegido entre 61 diseños de 16 diseñadores freelance.
setlisters/setlisters.com (.com can be, but need not be, part of the logo)
As music fans, we've been working on a side project for others of our kind.
setlisters.com is a simple hobby site for hardcore live music fans - a place for people to upload, browse, search, and discuss 'setlists' (song running sheets) from gigs they've attended. It's simple, but hopefully will be a useful resource for live music lovers. Now all it needs is an identity!
This isn't a big moneyspinner -- we just want a place for music fans to work on their obsessions, so casual and fun is the order of the day.
People who visit setlisters.com will probably be pretty hardcore music lovers. They might be a bit 'edgy' -- they're devoted to their favourite bands, love seeing live music, and might just be a little bit obsessive.
These are people who love smoke-stained rooms and carpet that smells like beer; shiny and 'Web 2.0' is probably not the look we're after.
We need a logo for our site for music hobbyists, setlisters.com. The site will probably be used be people who are obsessed with music -- the look we're after is pretty 'rock and roll'. The site isn't launched yet, but you can see a screenshot of what we've got so far in the attached materials.
People will be able to upload scans of the paper setlists they've obtained from concerts (the most obsessive fans can usually be seen hanging around near the stage after the gig to try and grab a copy of the setlist from a friendly band member or roadie!) so we're going for a slightly grungy, tattered look for the site (to match the way setlists usually look after a long night). Obviously we'd prefer something that will work with this simple look if possible, though we might be amenable to tweaking the design if a logo demands it.
Apart from that, we're open to creative and artistic interpretations. Use your imagination! We're happy to take inspiration from your ideas and experience.

Cantharidin is a chemical derived from the green blister
Your doctor "paints" cantharidin on your
wart and covers it with a bandage. This is generally
painless. The cantharidin causes the skin under the wart to blister, lifting
the wart off the skin. When the blister dries, the wart comes off with the
blistered skin. You may feel some pain when the skin blisters. When you see
your doctor again, he or she will remove the dead skin and the
wart. If the wart isn't gone after one treatment, you may need another
Cantharidin is sometimes used if salicylic acid or freezing a wart
with liquid nitrogen (cryotherapy) has not successfully eliminated it.
Cantharidin should not be used:
Cantharidin is an effective treatment for warts.1 After the wart is gone, there usually is no scarring.
Cantharidin also may be used in children.
All medicines have side effects. But many people don't feel the side effects, or they are able to deal with them. Ask your pharmacist about the side effects of each medicine you take. Side effects are also listed in the information that comes with your medicine.
Here are some important things to think about:
Call 911 or other emergency services right away if you have:
Call your doctor if you have:
Common side effects of this medicine include:
See Drug Reference for a full list of side effects. (Drug Reference
is not available in all systems.)
Cantharidin can be used to treat warts that are resistant to other
forms of treatment. It is not approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration
(FDA) for the treatment of warts.
Cantharidin is not well researched or widely used.
Cantharidin has a low risk of scarring.
Medicine is one of the many tools your doctor has to treat a health problem. Taking medicine as your doctor suggests will improve your health and may prevent future problems. If you don't take your medicines properly, you may be putting your health (and perhaps your life) at risk.
There are many reasons why people have trouble taking their medicine. But in most cases, there is something you can do. For suggestions on how to work around common problems, see the topic Taking Medicines as Prescribed.
Do not use this medicine if you are pregnant, breast-feeding, or planning to get pregnant. If you need to use this medicine, talk to your doctor about how you can prevent pregnancy.
Follow-up care is a key part of your treatment and safety. Be sure to make and go to all appointments, and call your doctor if you are having problems. It's also a good idea to know your test results and keep a list of the medicines you take.

Nothing you watch this weekend—no thriller at the multiplex, no nailbiting football game—will come close to the tension of this video. A mama duck leading her nine babies across a busy freeway in Toronto, with only the distant rumble of the cars for a soundtrack, and oh god I hope they make it.
Before you watch, you'll probably want to know that they all make it.

Who's Next 300-Win in the Majors ?
Days ago Randy Johnson was the happiest man wondering around in the Giants clubhouse in Miami. The 'Big Unit' have a good reason why. A week ago he became the 24th pitcher to reach one of baseball's most revered milestones. Join the 300-win club.
"It's been a long road,"Johnson said. "I guess the one word that would sum it all up is that I've persevered".
Johnson (5-5) became the sixth left-hander to win 300 games, and the first to do it on his first try against the Washington Nationals since Tom Seaver in 1985.
The towering 6'10" hurler now is in the history books but now the immediate question is who's next? Whom can we forecast is able to be ready for another long road and in time be number 25.
The closest active pitchers at this moment are Phillies' Jamie Moyer (250 wins) and Yankees' Andy Pettite (220 wins). Both will not. Moyer is 46 year-old and Pettite have express in numerous occasions this is his last season in the Majors.
Could be a latino? It could be but remember Johnson's words "is a long road". And not easy. Dennis Martínez in 23 seasons won 245 games. Hall of Famer Juan Marichal in 16 seasons won 243. Luis Tiant in 19 seasons won 229. The recently retired Pedro Martínez won 214.
Bartolo Colón, 36, and Liván Hernández, 34, both at this moment with 153 career wins are down hill in their careers. Local Javier Vázquez,33, have 131 career wins but have never had a 20-win season.
Most possible. Maybe. Johan Santana and Carlos Zambrano. Both are 30 years-old and with over 100 career wins. Both are young and if healthy can go at least 10 more seasons. However, at least they have to average 18 wins a season. And after that stay healthy enough to try to complete the mission.
Does Johnson was the last of the 300-win plateau club? It's no easy task but only time will tell.
