On a warm, sunny afternoon at the Maritime Industries Academy baseball field, posters honoring members of the Negro leagues hung on the outfield fence and dust swirled under the banner honoring Jackie Robinson at home plate.
Members of the Maritime and Southside Academies wore gray and blue pin-striped replica uniform shirts of two teams that played in the NL — the Baltimore Black Sox (Maritime) and the Baltimore Elite Giants (Southside). And they played with wooden bats.
In this, the 1st Annual Negro League Appreciation Game, the Maritime Black Sox won, 11-1, in five innings, with pitcher Devont'e Lewis striking out 14 and allowing just one hit while going the distance.
But the real story on the field Monday was the living classroom at work.
"I had heard about the Negro League, but I hadn't really paid attention until I had to research a paper at the start of the season on one of the Negro league players," said Lewis, one of seven players to read Negro league player bios when introduced before the game. "I did pay attention then. I picked Satchel Paige. He was a pitcher and I'm a pitcher. He inspired me today. He once struck out 21 batters in a game when he was [a Major League rookie at age] 42."
On the other side of the field, the Southside Elite Giants' first baseman, Keon Ford, voiced appreciation for Robinson, who was honored by Major League Baseball Sunday on the 65th anniversary of his breaking the color barrier with the Brooklyn Dodgers in 1947.
"He opened the doors for all of us," Ford said.
"He set an example for all African Americans, not to be afraid to play sports and to not waste your talents," Southside senior Rodney Berger said after hitting a single and scoring his team's only run.
The idea for this game took root last year at the Sports Legends Museum at Camden Yards. High school teams were invited to the facility during the first President's Cup Baseball Tournament. Included in the museum tour was the area honoring the Negro League and a number of players from that league were there to meet the varsity players.
Teams didn't have to be participating in the Cup games to go the museum outing, and Maritime coach Steve "Chief" Shepard took his entire team.
"When they met those Negro league players, everything seemed to stop," Shepard said. "We stayed with them and some of the questions our boys were asking were insightful. They had a level of appreciation."
Shepard decided to have each boy who wanted to try out for his baseball team this season write a paper about a Negro league player. And then he thought, wouldn't it be great to play a game each year to honor those old ball players and what they achieved?
He asked John Eberl, the co-owner of Sports 55, a national sports uniform manufacturer based in Severna Park, to consider helping with the project. Eberl was interested.
"I think it's a wonderful thing that gives the kids an understanding of the obstacles their predecessors had to overcome to play the game," said Eberl, whose company provided the uniforms. "And any time you can use an athletic event to teach something, it's a good thing."
That was also the thought of Katrina Jones.
"I think it's good when you make the students do the research," said Jones, who sang a beautiful a cappella rendition of the national anthem. "It will always be more relevant."
Southside's Patrick Denbow, a freshman pitcher, who is white, said the event made for "a great day. I've made a lot of new friends since joining the baseball team. I think it's great what Jackie Robinson and these other old players did. They came out and fought to play to establish the Negro League so that eventually everyone can play together ... and it feels real good to be part of this game."
On a warm, sunny afternoon at the Maritime Industries Academy baseball field, posters honoring members of the Negro leagues hung on the outfield fence and dust swirled under the banner honoring Jackie Robinson at home plate.

The battle for the five spots in the Lehigh Valley rotation will prove to be interesting once SPring Training gets under way in less than two weeks. With the addition of several veterans with major league experience, what first looked like a youthful rotation of up and coming prospects now looks like a mixed bag of the up and comers combined with those with major league experience that could provide several spot starts for the Phils without total implosion and ruining confidence.
First the givens. It is extremely likely that Jon Pettibone will be the #1 starter for Lehigh Valley absent a very unlikely chance that the Phils take a shot on him right out of the gate with the big club. Pettibone was extremely impressive on each occasion I saw him throw, and it would surprise me if he didnt spend big league time this year. The #2 starter should be Ethan Martin, who was an impressive 5-0 with a 3.18 ERA in his 7 starts with Reading after being acquired from the Dodgers. Just 23, Martin has good upside so long as he can maintain his command which he has struggled with in the past. Tyler CLoyd should be penciled in as the #3 starter. Coming off an incredible year in which he went a combined 15-1 between Reading and Lehigh Valley, it would be a struggle for anyone to replicate the success of CLoyd's outstanding 2012. Ultimately, I see CLoyd as a guy who will give you a quality start almost every time out that could fit in a middle relief, innings eating role for the Phils just fine if needed.
The battle for the #4 and #5 spots is where things will get interesting in the Spring. As of now, I am unsure of the Phils plans with BJ Rosenberg. I like the way Rosenberg throws, but he has bounced back and forth between the rotation and the bullpen which has not helped him. He was never adequately stretched out to see what he could really do and his short time with the Phils was very rough at the outset, before he settled down. Several minor league veterans are in the mix for the #4 and 5 positions as the Phils have re-acquired both Rodrigo Lopez and Brian Bass as well as Aaron Cook who who has over 200 major league starts under his belt. Cook floundered with the Red Sox last year, but threw well in AAA Pawtucket and gives the Phils another viable option if (when) the Lannan/Kendrick duo struggle. Finally, there are reports that the Phils have re-signed Tom Cochran, a 30 year old lefty, who after struggling a bit at the beginning of the 2012 season with injuries, ended up being one of the IronPigs most consistent pitchers last year.
My final prediction for the Opening Day rotation: 1. Pettibone; 2. Martin; 3. CLoyd; 4. Cook; 5. Cochran. I suspect Bass comes down with a early turf toe ailment that will place him on the DL until another body is needed in the rotation.

It has been nearly two decades since the Fourth Women's Conference in Beijing in 1995. The conference was a milestone in the advancement of women's empowerment, because it highlighted the pertinent issues women face. We have come a long way since 1995. From the implementation of gender equity policies in the workplace to coordinated action on violence against women and human trafficking, we have seen commendable progress.

Counselling or therapy is a calling. Given this, I believe that students have an inborn wisdom. For me, teaching is helping the student use this wisdom for the purpose of reducing another's pain. Learning occurs through acquired knowledge and skill, experience, mentoring, and self-trust. Openness, compassion, self-reflection, and critical thought are also doors for the student to enter on a path of transformation. My teaching philosophy is to create environments to facilitate this transformation.
Adler is the perfect teaching environment because of our dedication to faculty development and research, an alignment of professional values, an adaptation to the needs of the community, and a dedication to society as an intrinsic factor for individual health.

What I don't get is the whole "they don't pay road taxes" thing. Do they really believe that everyone riding a bike does not own a car?
The claim that bikes don't belong on the road because they don't pay taxes for the road is just pure unadulterated ignorance on the part of the idiots giving that argument.
The fact is that taxes paid through motor vehicle registration or gas taxes pay only about HALF of the cost of building and maintaining new roads.
The rest of the money comes from various bond issues, sales taxes, developer fees, and other taxes.
Just goes to show how completely ignorant many people are about exactly what their various taxes pay for.

W3: Walk For A Healthier World
Click Here for PDF
The Story Behind the TrekDesk Treadmill Desk
Launched in 2008, TrekDesk was the first affordable treadmill desk designed to work with virtually any of the millions of treadmills in homes and offices across the country, allowing individuals the opportunity to walk slowly while they work, and transform their health and energy levels. By far the leading treadmill desk on the market since its inception, TrekDesk has received rave reviews from users who have transformed their health and their lives, without taking an extra second out of their day.
The StoryMost of us at one time or another in our lives face unexpected challenges or events which test our creativity, resolve and will. A combination of challenges led to the invention of the TrekDesk Treadmill Desk. A severe accident dramatically changed the life of TrekDesk inventor, Steve Bordley, placing him in a wheel chair for six months, and rendering him unable to walk without the assistance of a walker, crutches, and eventually a cane, for more than two years. This sedentary period had a profoundly challenging impact on his previously active life. Faced with severe neuropathy from his leg injury, back problems from extended inactivity, and increases in weight, cholesterol, and blood pressure, Bordley was unable to exercise in a conventional fashion, so he was forced to improvise.
His first solution was a recumbent bicycle placed underneath his desk, however he soon discovered that this exacerbated his back condition and contributed to neck and arm pain as well. "I really felt a bit defeated at that point," he recalled, "my life as a runner was over, walking was a challenge, so cycling seemed like a good alternative. It wasn't, and I learned later why." Unable to exercise, his weight continued to increase, as his health further unraveled. His levels of stress were heightened further as he found himself the divorced full time father of three young children, forced to find a new career path. "I always feel that life is filled with options but at that point I had zero amount of free time, even for physical therapy, so I knew I had to get creative."
It wasn't until he developed the idea of placing a rubber top across his treadmill as a rudimentary desk early in 2007 that he found some relief. "Placing my hands on the keyboard and desk surface kept me stable and I found that walking slowly made the neuropathy in my leg bearable. Within 6 weeks of use I had lost 25 lbs, my back problems vanished, I slept through the night for the first time in years and felt an overall sense of well being that I thought I had lost, AND I didn't have to sacrifice a moment away from my children. I knew I was on to something, but up to that point in my life I never thought of slow walking as a form of exercise. Prior to my accident if an activity didn't involve running, lifting weights, or some form of physical exertion I didn't consider it exercise. I was basically an exercise snob I later realized. Researchers are now proving that a daily trip to the gym is remarkably insuffficient in undoing the health damage caused by commuting and sitting at a desk all day."
Driven by an interest in learning the physiology behind his new feeling of wellness, Bordley spent months researching the health benefits of walking. "Two things overwhelmed me during that period of research. First, the curative powers of walking are extensive, and for the most part either unknown or dismissed by many, even health/medical professionals. Second, a large percentage of the health problems existing in developed nations have coincided with a precipitous drop in their activity levels due to technology. It was at that point in 2007 that I became driven to develop the TrekDesk to help others who (for a variety of reasons) are sedentary and unhealthy and start a Movement Revolution to get America up and moving again."
The impact of the TrekDesk Treadmill Desk on others lives has made the journey worthwhile to Bordley, a former social worker. "We receive emails and testimonials almost weekly from TrekDesk users who have lost significant amounts of weight, feel better than they have since their youth, and have gone off of medications for high blood pressure, cholesterol, even diabetes. That is profoundly satisfying, but I really feel we are in the infancy of this movement and our work is just starting."
Since 2008 the TrekDesk has been featured on ABC, NBC, CBS, FOX, CNN, NPR, and in newspapers and magazines around the world. "When I first launched TrekDesk even my closest friends thought it was a crazy idea but since that time the field of "sedentary science" has exploded, proving that an individual's health is dependent upon staying off the couch and out of a chair. TrekDesks are now in use in homes, offices and universities across the country but still a majority of Americans are unaware that the health hazards of sitting are now equated with those of smoking. We have a lot of work to do."

TrekDesk has teamed with Amazon.com to offer the Amazon A to Z Guarantee level of customer service offering a 100% guarantee of customer satisfaction.
- Logistics & Fulfillment: TrekDesk's logistic and fulfillment team has headquarters in Seattle, Washington.
- Sales & Admiistration: TrekDesk's sales and administrative offices are located in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma.
- Join the Movement Revolution: We consider every TrekDesk user as part of our team helping to educate others regarding the health benefits of walking and the health hazards of sedentary lifestyles. This is a grass roots movement growing from the individual examples of TrekDesk users and social media. Joining the team is as simple as following TrekDesk on Facebook and on Twitter. There you can join a global community dedicated to spreading the health message of movement and committed to affecting real change in the health of the world.
While Congress and the media argue over the effectiveness of various health care plans, a growing movement in our society is recognizing that the dramatic shift in America's health cannot be solved politically or through a better health insurance plan. Health is utlimately up to the individual and their choices regarding diet and exercise. While poor diets and lifestyle risks such as smoking have received considerable attention over the years the rising tide of inactivity and its impact on society has gone relatively unreported until recently.
In the 1960's only 13% of the nation's adult population was overweight. Today that percentage is approaching 70% with half of those adults clinically obese. According to the University of Tennessee the average American walks 5,000 steps per day (2.5 miles), half the recommended amount suggested by the U.S. Surgeon General. This lack of activity holds dire health consequences not just for America but for every developed nation in the world.
TrekDesk's mission is to educate individuals to take personal control of their health and to recognize the health hazards of sedentary lifestyles. "Once someone understands that staying in motion during the day combined with a healthy diet and lifestyle will increase their lifespan, boost their mood and productivity, substantially decrease their risk of disease regardless of their current weight, a transformation occurs that is wonderful to observe. We want to make sure that everyone has the information available to them to make the right choices regardless of whether they need a TrekDesk or not," stated Steve Bordley, inventor of TrekDesk Treadmill Desk.

It's called the Abarth 2000 Pininfarina. It's 40 years old. It also doesn't exist. What a shame.
Whatever explains the surge of creativity that was supercar design around 1970, whether LSD-25 or the halo effect of Project Apollo, it is something sorely missing from our world. Pictured here is just one of many chimeras of race car and spaceship from the era, the Abarth 2000 Pininfarina. Not much more than a design study, it makes for shortness of breath not unlike the cumulative effect of two pack of cigarettes a day for a decade or two.
And while the giant and slightly ludicrous perspex windshield-roof might make sunny days unbearable, surely you would want to go for a ride, wouldn't you?

To provide some background, in 2009 I was asked to move content from the old bird club website onto a different server. That information was mostly very outdated so I decided to create a new site and merge it with my own birding website. Western MD Birding has been around since 2006.
We are currently working on the schedule for the upcoming 2014-2015 season. We are trying a few new things. We will have an amateur night (which we actually did awhile back) and the Banquet will be at Penn Alps this year. We still have some copies of the new bird club pamphlet which details our dues structure and gives some general information about the club.
Your MOS dues are tax deductible.

Joe Rehyansky, a part-time magistrate and Vietnam veteran, wrote on conservative news site The Daily Caller that lesbians should be allowed to serve in the military because straight male soldiers could "convert" them.
The Daily Caller swiftly removed some of his remarks but not before they were picked up by other websites.
Mr Rehyansky, of Hamilton County, Tennessee, argued that men were naturally more promiscuous than women and "it fell to men to swing through the trees and scour the caves in search of as many women as possible to subdue and impregnate – a tough job but someone had to do it".
Then, he claimed that the "promiscuity" of gay men, coupled with HIV, would have "the potential for disastrous health consequences" if gay men were allowed to serve openly in the military.
Rehyansky's entire piece is vomit-worthy, spewing the same anti-gay distortions which is now coming back to haunt organizations such as the Family Research Council. But it's the following part that's causing eyes, tempers, and blood pressures to be raised:
His final argument, which has now been removed by The Daily Caller, was as follows: "My solution would get the distaff part of our homosexual population off our collective 'Broke Back,' thus giving straight male GIs a fair shot at converting lesbians and bringing them into the mainstream."
How very interesting that this piece came out the week before Congressional hearings and a vote on the repeal of Don't Ask, Don't Tell, the military policy in regards to gays serving in the military.
Call it a hunch, but I'm betting those who want to retain the policy aren't going to be calling on Rehyansky as a witness.

Cattle futures fell, heading for the biggest decline this week, on speculation that demand for U.S. beef will slow as consumers switch to cheaper pork and chicken. Hog prices also declined.
Slaughtering plants processed 368,000 cattle in the first three days of this week, down 3.2% from the same period a year earlier, U.S. Department of Agriculture data show. Supermarkets may have completed most of their buying before the Independence Day holiday on July 4, the busiest day of the year for outdoor grilling, according to Dick Quiter at McFarland Commodities LLC. While wholesale beef dropped 6 percent in the past four weeks to $1.9869 a pound, pork fetched $1.0698 a pound and chicken cost $1.0575, according to government data.
"Pork is considerably cheaper and there's plenty of chickens around, so demand is relatively low for cattle," Quiter, an account executive, said in a telephone interview from Chicago. "It's going to be hard to turn this cattle market around now that Fourth of July demand has passed."
Cattle futures for August delivery fell 0.4% to $1.199 a pound at 12 p.m. on the Chicago Mercantile Exchange, heading for the biggest drop since June 14.
Prices through yesterday were down 9 percent this year. U.S. beef exports probably will drop 5.8 percent this year to 2.31 billion pounds, and slip 0.5 percent in 2014, the USDA estimates.
Feeder-cattle futures for August settlement declined 0.3 percent to $1.44175 a pound.
Hog futures for August settlement fell 0.1 percent to 98.3 cents a pound on the CME. Prices through yesterday were up 4.8 percent for June and 15 percent this year.

begged asked me if I could assist him installing Office 2003 on Linux using Wine.
After some research I came across Tom Wickline's blog post about installing the same. He has provided an excellent step-by-step guide on office 2003 issues and running Wndows apps under Linux:

Santana heads to Queens
TORONTO — I, for one, will miss seeing Johan Santana pitch a few times a season. Now that he's heading to the National League, anyone following the Blue Jays won't be seeing much of the nasty left-hander.
Jays fans can rejoice, though, considering Santana didn't land in pinstripes in the Bronx or on an already-sick staff in Beantown. No, as became increasingly predictable over the past few weeks, Santana landed with the New York Mets, who sent a package of four prospects and now have a 72-hour window in which to work out an extension with Santana.
Looking at the National League, I've got to think that the addition of Santana instantly makes the Metros the team to beat. They have a solid lineup and were in desperate need of another pitcher — enter a two-time Cy Young Award winner. Santana should thrive at Shea and against the lesser lineups in the NL. Santana happens to be 16-4 with a 2.27 ERA in Interleague Play and 2-0 with a 0.60 ERA at Shea. Small sample sizes, sure, but still telling.
OSCARS: Those of you who are regulars to my blog know that I'm a big film buff and I have yet to weigh in on the recent Oscar nominations. For me, I just wish Into the Wild would've received more love. I was upset that Enchanted had three nominees for original song, but Eddie Vedder wasn't a pick for his work with Into the Wild. I was also hoping to see Sean Penn get the nod in the director's category for the film — not the win, but a nomination. I'd like to see the Coen brothers get best director honors for No Country for Old Men and There WIll be Blood get the win for Best Picture.
For best actor/actress, I'm pulling for Daniel Day-Lewis for TWBB and Julie Christie for Away From Her. I don't see local fave Ellen Page winning for Juno, but after recently watching the flick, I fully expect Diablo Cody to take home an Oscar for original screenplay. The only other real issue I had with the nominees was seeing Ruby Dee named for American Gangster. I guess that was more of a lifetime achievement-type nomination, considering her role wasn't major in the movie. Oh, and where was The Simpsons in the best animated movie category?! Just terrible. You can't tell me Surf's Up was a better pick. And don't get me started on seeing Sicko nominated in the documentary category. How a Michael Moore movie can be considered a documentary is beyond me, but I digress…
…back to baseball.

I am happy that Santana is going to the Mets, they benifit from this trade way more then the BoSox and Yanks I honestly think that the Mets got him for a bag of balls and a shiney batting helmet. The prospects going to the Mets better be great. I think the Twins hummed and hawed and should have pulled the trigger while Santana was hot during the winter meetings. If I were a Met fan, I would be on the top of the world, a Twins fan, crying into my beer. I think the Jays lucked out and I think we can take on the Twins this years. GO Jays!
Loved watching Santana work, but i am super stoked that it wont be live anymore. I think a part of me might have died if the yankees or sox had picked him up. As for the oscars, im upset that Greenwoods score for twbb was disqualified for using pre-existing themes…B-S if you ask me. I just saw Persepolis this weekend and it was incredible. It deserved a nomination for best animated movie. You should take Mrs. Bastian down to the varsity to check it out Jordan, my girlfriend really dug it.
I'll miss watching Johan taking on the Red Sox but other then that i'm glad the jays wont be facing him. Though that first game in '06 when he took on Toronto was a memorable one beat him 4-2.
Ellen Page definitaly deserved the nomination (at the least) so I was satisfied with that and I also had an issue with Ruby Dee as well, her part wasn't a memorable one at all in what was a good film.
Santana was a great pitcher but i personally think that the bluejays were seeing him pretty well and didn't have much trouble against him but i'm still happy cause that makes the twins a bit weaker giving the jays more chance.
I will miss seeing Santana pitch to the Jays, harrypotter got it right i believe, last time we saw them i believe Thomas hit two home runs off of Santana, so I really liked seeing Santana.
Feel bad for the Twins though, they really got fleeced in the deal.
At least we can now try and get Jed Lowrie from Boston ! Common JP !
I am sorry, but I am going to have to disagree with all of you that say that Janssen should be our 5th starter. I am sure he would do a great job but look at him in the pen. Even though it will be great wit Ryan and Riccardo in there, with Janssen, not many other pens will be able to compare. And Litche has proven that he could do a good job, I am sure if we give him some more time in there that we will even have a winning record.
I also say leave Janssen in the 'pen. Ryan won't be ready. It seems like it would be difficult to get Janssen to switch from setup to starter mid-way through the season. Hopefully Chacin will step up, allowing Litsch more time in AAA. If not, give the 5th to Litsch.
I'm gonna have to agree with freedom and tower…since you guys wanted the almighty powerful bullpen with ryan only strengthened then why take an integral part of it out in Janessen. Plus Ryan is not gonna be ready in spring. When we do get ryan back…innings 7 8 and 9 are gonna be sealed.
And with our All-Star rotation usually 2/5 starts i expect will go into the seventh which allows us to rotate Janesen and Accardo at Set-up OR give Janessen the Long Reliever Job and be back-up setup man.
In the starting roatation…I think Litsch is ready…I'm sure he can go 5-6 innings into the game consistently and when u have a 5th starter post an ERA lower than 4 THEN KEEP HIM and it also means u got a strong rotation. If litsch can step up and if marcum and McGowan can repeat last year then we no doubt have the strongest Rotation/Bullpen/Pitching depth combo.
I think JP did a good job by adding Depth …kinda like the raptors who are doing so good becasue they have the most depth than anyone.
The have hit Santana in recent year; however, that can change from year to year. He has electric stuff and it will definately be good not to see him. The Mets getting another Carribean star will really help them in that city. I really liked the movie "Dan in Real Life" with Steve Carrell (sp). Would have liked to see that movie get a nomination. (kind of disappointed about that).
We will see Santana again in october right people.
As for Janssen 30 saves first time up how good can this guy get leave him where he is,Put Ryan back as a starter he would make a good 5th starter or better the money is not an issue for janssen is cheap.Also you don't have to be a ROCKET SCIENTIST to know BJ will not be ready until July in the real world.
Accardo had 30 saves, garryguy, not Janssen. He had 6.
If by some miracle Ryan can go out of Spring Training, or if League has got his stuff back, then Janssen will try for the #5 spot. Otherwise he's in the pen for the time being. You need your #5 spot to win around 50% of their starts. Between Litsch and Chacin, they should be able to handle that. You could even think of a platoon situation where you hand the ball to the guy with the hot hand.
Big G.
Please ignor rshobe you are a much bigger person than he will ever be.
All the stats you provide for us only gives us more insight into the game and I for one thank you,Also your efforts have made this Blog worth reading.
Jordan I know this is your Blog but gsumner is the sparkplug.
Sorry everone just got out of hospital not thinking right just yet I would like to see Accardo stay as the closer.

, Jan 26, 2014 / 06:05 am ().- The Aquinas Institute for Catholic Thought will host a debate at the University of Colorado next week on the use of the death penalty in the U.S., demonstrating the Church's desire for dialogue.
"We're showing that the Church has something to say about the common good in society as a whole, and we really want to be a voice in that public debate," Scott Powell, director of scriptural theology at St. Thomas Aquinas parish in Boulder and one of the event's organizers, told CNA Jan. 23.
"We do 'The Great Debate' every year around the feast day of St. Thomas Aquinas, who had a long tradition of engaging in public debate at universities on important issues of the time," he explained.
This year's debate, being held Jan. 31, is the seventh annual Great Debate; it will be between Dr. E Christian Kopff, founder of the University of Colorado Honors Program, arguing in favor of the death penalty in the U.S., and Msgr. Stuart Swetland, professor of ethics at Mount St. Mary's University, arguing against.
The debate is "in the spirit of hospitality and fairness," Powell said, and is meant "to include the Catholic voice in a secular university; we're really trying to represent the Church well."
Past debate topics have included abortion, the nature of marriage, and government intervention in the economy. Capital punishment was chosen as this year's theme because "many people are asking the question," Powell explained.
The issue is expected to play a role in Colorado's next gubernatorial race, and the issue has been raised in the upcoming trial of an inmate who killed a correctional officer and in the trial of James Holmes, the Aurora movie theater shooter; national attention focused on capital punishment with the Jan. 22 execution of Edgar Tamayo by the state of Texas.
"People have very strong feelings" on the issue, Powell said, "and I don't think many people know exactly where the Church lands on it … it's not as black and white as some we've done in the past."
Church teaching has traditionally permitted the use of capital punishment; in his own work defending the Church against non-Christians, St. Thomas Aquinas said "the evil … may be justly executed."
Yet in his 1995 encyclical "Evangelium Vitae," Bl. John Paul II said that today, cases in which the death penalty may be justly utilized "are very rare, if not practically non-existent."
Msgr. Swetland, a priest of the Peoria diocese, holds a doctorate of theology from the Pontifical Lateran University, and will argue the position expressed by the late Roman Pontiff. Powell said the priest has published on the topic, and is "doing a lot of work at the moment on this topic, and working with the Vatican on whether or not (capital punishment) might be an issue of development of doctrine – whether this might be a place for that."
Kopff, meanwhile, is an associate professor of classics, in which he earned his doctorate from the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. The conservative thinker, a Lutheran, advocates for classical education and is "very versed in Aquinas, and Catholic teaching" on the issue, and is "well known" in Boulder for his defense of the death penalty.
With the debate, the Aquinas Institute for Catholic Thought is trying "to show the university, and Boulder at large, that the Catholic Church is serious about having intelligent and respectful debates about things that we know that we disagree about."
Powell explained that it important to neither present the Catholic position by banging it over others heads, nor "circling the wagons" and refusing to dialogue with the society at large.
"We really want to engage the broader culture, and the university culture."

Located in southern Greece, in the middle of the island of Crete.
You can get there by plane with flights by Olympic and Aegean to the airport "Nikos Kazantzakis" (HER). You also have the alternative to travel by boat with Blue Star lines and ΑΝΕΚ to the largest port of the island.
It is advisable to have some means of transport, depending on how you intend to travel! If you want to see the rest of the island, you will need a car since the distances are great in Crete. However, there is a regular bus service within Heraklion and also towards Chania, Rethymnon and Lasithi.
The prefecture of Heraklion is known to everyone for the archaeological sites of Knossos and Phaistos. Knossos was the center of the Minoan civilization and covers an area of 20,000 square meters. Phaistos covers 8500 square meters and was a religious and an economic center of the Minoan period. Also of interest and historical value are many Venetian buildings, such as the Fortress Koules.
You should dedicate some time at the numerous museums that are available. The Archaeological, Historical and Ecclesiastical are most interesting.
You can find beaches both in the north, and south part of the county. The north beach is more crowded, since its warmer there, and it's more organized. The most famous beaches are: Coast, Agia Pelagia, Matala, Kokkini Hani.
Heraklion is a destination that offers its visitors many options, since it combines the comforts of the city with the relaxation of the island. Like the rest of Crete,you will try eat tasteful local food and you will drink plenty of raki, while you will be impressed by the hospitality of the locals.
Viva Travel gives you direct access to airline tickets databases effectively reducing costs by cutting out middlemen. You can independently evaluate and select all available flights to Heraklion on any airline and based on your custom criteria, be that best price or flight schedule. You can also book a hotel in Heraklion through vivatravel's hotels section.

Read part 1 of this essay.
Much has changed at Carnegie Museum of Art since the heyday of Conceptual art, and the movement is now fully integrated into the permanent collection alongside Abstract Expressionism, Pop, Minimalism, and other major developments in postwar art history. The Carnegie International, the museum's unique asset, has helped immeasurably in this regard. Today, visitors even have their experience of the entire collection prefaced by works of Conceptual art, including one created for the 1985 International. Despite their bright colors and bold shapes, Sol LeWitt's Wall Drawing #450, A wall is divided vertically into four equal parts. All one-, two-, three-, and four-part combinations of four colors (1985) and Wall Drawing #493, The wall is divided vertically into three equal parts. All one-, two-, and three-part combinations of three colors (1986) exemplify an art of ideas that prioritizes the artist as thinker over the artist as maker. LeWitt conceptualized plans for both works but left to others what he called the "perfunctory affair" of actually drawing them. Installed as they are alongside the staircase that leads from the museum's entrance to the second-floor Scaife Galleries (where the collection largely hangs) and visible from the adjacent Sculpture Court, LeWitt's drawings stage Conceptual art's core proposition—that art is thought—at the point of greatest visibility within the museum.
I mention this transition from invisibility to full visibility because it has considerable historiographical importance. A small but dedicated body of scholarship has emerged in recent years to examine Conceptual art's exhibition histories and collection histories. Within it, however, the question of how museums contribute to historicizing Conceptual art has received less attention. Carnegie Museum of Art proves an instructive case study of this process because its involvement with Conceptual art occurred after the movement's emergence and development. Its interest in the movement has always been historical in character—the museum's primary means for engaging with contemporary art, the Carnegie International, was undergoing a period of transformation that overlaps almost exactly with the emergence, development, and decline of Conceptual art. After a successful run of Internationals during the 1950s and early 1960s that facilitated the acquisition of major paintings and sculptures by the likes of Willem de Kooning, Mark Rothko, and David Smith, the International was shuttered (for various reasons) after the 1970 International. It reopened in 1977 in the newly built Scaife Galleries as a showcase for the work of one or two artists before finally settling into its present format during the 1980s. (It should be noted that when the International was on hiatus in the 1970s, curator Sally Dixon's film program at the museum did support a number of filmmakers, including Hollis Frampton, Tony Conrad, Michael Snow, and Paul Sharits, whose work is in dialogue with Conceptual art.)
Conceptual art was not yet historicized when the museum took an interest in it, so its collecting and exhibiting was not predetermined by a history of prior historicizing. As a result, the museum's belated engagement with Conceptual art emphasizes the movement's legacies—what could be called Conceptual art since Conceptual art—more than its original moments. This notion is instructive insofar as it highlights a museum playing an active role in constituting an art movement's legacy through a program of acquisitions and exhibitions.
Few works by Conceptual artists entered the museum's collection until 1980, when a combination of gifts and purchases began to address what had grown to become a major blind spot. Mel Bochner, a Pittsburgh native, played an important role in jump-starting the process. His wall drawing Syncline (1981) was commissioned at roughly the same time that Bochner himself donated a small LeWitt drawing, A Point Equidistant from Three Points… (1974). These are the first Conceptual artworks to find their way into the museum's collection. Painted directly onto the wall in Scaife Gallery 16, the work is the first of several works by Conceptual artists to be incorporated directly onto the museum's architectural surfaces as permanent installations.
The acquisition of LeWitt's wall drawings in the mid-1980s continued this tendency, and Lothar Baumgarten's large and permanent installation The Tongue of the Cherokee (1985–1988), acquired from the 1988 Carnegie International, extends it further. Located in the Hall of Sculpture's skylights, where it requires viewers to crane their necks and direct their gazes up to the lofty realm of concepts and ideas, the work presents the syllabary of the Cherokee language that Sequoyah invented in the early 19th century. Like Bochner's and LeWitt's wall drawings, Baumgarten's work shows Conceptual art developing in its own aftermath. All three artists are original practitioners of Conceptual art who emerged in the 1960s and 1970s and had achieved significant institutional recognition by the 1980s, enabling them to elaborate upon their ideas on a grander or more monumental scale than the humbler works they had previously produced.
Other latter-day works by early Conceptual artists to have made their way into the collection include Lawrence Weiner's boldly colored wall text Ever Widening Circles of Shattered Glass (1984–1986). Though it continues the highly reductive comportment of his earlier and definitive artist's book Statements (1968), this work is, by comparison, monumental in its mode of presentation as it takes up an entire gallery wall rather than a mere page in a book. In a related manner, Dan Graham's Heart Pavilion (1991), an installation made of mirrored glass and aluminum, remains conceptually tied to his materially humbler but groundbreaking photo and text works, many published in magazines, like Homes for America (1966–1967), which consider, among other things, the meaning of architectural forms. Bruce Nauman's neon work Having Fun/Good Life, Symptoms (1985) similarly builds upon the artist's own precedent by developing his earlier interest in neon as a material in an elaborate and colorful way as well as extending his thematic interest in language to encompass more diverse verbiage.
Though the museum's collection is deepest in these later works by early practitioners of Conceptual art, it has also acquired a few older works of Conceptual art, including two early Bruce Nauman videos, Bouncing in the Corner No. 1 (1968) and Slow Angle Walk (Beckett Walk) (1968), that both document the artist performing in his studio. Nauman's videos were acquired in 2009, one year before several others by Martha Rosler, another artist whose ties to Conceptual art involve scrutinizing both language and the body. Her Semiotics of the Kitchen (1975) and Vital Statistics of a Citizen, Simply Obtained (1977) have proven to be especially valuable additions to the collection, as demonstrated by their recent and fruitful pairing with an installation of International alumnus Haegue Yang's Series of Vulnerable Arrangements — Domestics of Community (2009) that emphasizes shared concerns with gender and domesticity across a generational gulf. Rosler is, like Broodthaers, a good example of an artist whose work has only increased in stature since its original creation as her impact on a subsequent generation of socially and politically conscious artists has made itself abundantly clear. Yang, meanwhile, is one of many artists to have emerged in Conceptual art's wake. Others include Mike Kelley, Tim Rollins + K.O.S., Cindy Sherman, Rirkrit Tiravanija, and Jeff Wall, and all have shown in Internationals. Their work in the museum's collection manifests the diversity of Conceptual art's influence on artists working in mediums ranging from painting and sculpture to photography, installation, and participatory art.
The curatorial team that organized 2013 Carnegie International made a novel decision to reinstall the museum's permanent collection as part of their exhibition. Throughout this combination of two surveys—one restages the histories of modern and contemporary art through time and the other presents a selective overview of art being made around the world now—the continuing impact of Conceptual art remains much in evidence. For instance, Gabriel Sierra's Untitled (111.111.111 x 111.111.111 = 12345678987654321) (2013), a purpling of the Hall of Architecture's exposed surfaces, uses the wall directly in a manner not dissimilar to LeWitt, Bochner, or Weiner. Like these precedents, Sierra's work is visually bold yet open-ended as far as its meaning is concerned. In a different but still distinctly conceptual vein, Bidoun Library's presentation of its holdings of printed matter pertaining to the Middle East uses the pavilion form previously employed by Graham. Its critical explorations of representation draw on Broodthaers's precedent-setting investigations of the museum as context and site of power in order to unpack how the concept of the Middle East, like the history of art, is not given but culturally and socially constructed.
These two drastically different works show that issues raised by Conceptual artists remain vital and, moreover, unresolved. Nearly everything about the movement is open to debate, and decisions made at museums about which artworks to acquire and what art to exhibit play an important role in the ongoing process of historicizing Conceptual art. Carnegie Museum of Art's later reception of Conceptual art overlaps perfectly with the history of that historicizing, and its collecting and exhibiting exemplify Conceptual art's unfolding legacy. This activity testifies to one of the movement's most welcome characteristics: its refusal of closure and its seemingly infinite openness to ongoing permutation. The history of Conceptual art since Conceptual art continues apace.
Robert Bailey is assistant professor in the School of Art & Art History at the University of Oklahoma. He is writing a book about the Conceptual art collective Art & Language.

G.SKILL 8GB DDR3 Laptop Memory On A Linux Ultrabook: With my purchase last month of the ASUS Zenbook Prime as a new Intel ultrabook for carrying out some development work while traveling, the only two traits of the system that I didn't like were the use of an Ivy Bridge processor over Haswell and that it had only 4GB of DDR3 system memory. Fortunately, the latter can be easily corrected and with the ultrabook order I bought a 8GB G.SKILL DDR3-1600MHz DIMM for this Core i7 system that I dual-loaded with Fedora 20 and Ubuntu Linux.

Sure, you can prepare to be a teacher at other universities, but at AU you'll be encouraged to emulate the greatest teacher of all: Jesus Christ. With Him as the model, we teach you pedagogy as well as how to cultivate the patient, caring heart you'll need to inspire students.
Early Field Experiences
In addition to our emphasis on bringing Christian caring into the classroom, our undergraduate and graduate programs expose you to the perfect mix of education theory and practice. Within the first year of our bachelor's degree programs, students observe veteran educators teaching and planning in public schools.
Your Future and Licensure
A school district superintendent, principals, and veteran, award-winning teachers are among our hundreds of education grads. Accredited by the National Council for Accreditation of Teacher Education (NCATE), we offer the bachelor's degrees that lead to initial teacher licensure through the South Carolina State Department of Education.
South Carolina Teaching Fellows
Each year, through the South Carolina Teaching Fellows program, dozens of AU students teach in China, host a storytelling festival on the AU campus, and take part in other events. If you're a high school senior who lives in South Carolina who wants to become a teacher, consider applying to the Teaching Fellows program. This program provides up to $6,000 in annual scholarships, as well as enrichment activities for education students who plan to teach in South Carolina.
The Call Me MISTER Initiative
Students in the Call Me MISTER Initiative (Mentors Instructing Students Toward Effective Role Models) are active on AU's campus and in the community. Call Me MISTER awards tuition assistance to minority men who seek to teach and serve as role models in South Carolina elementary schools.
Graduate Degrees
On the graduate level, our Master of Education (non-certification program )is designed to help teachers integrate current, research-based best practices into their classrooms. Our Master of Education in Administration and Supervision prepares teachers to become school principals at either the elementary or secondary level. Further, the Master of Arts in Teaching: Elementary Education program prepares professionals with undergraduate degrees in other fields to become certified teachers.

Chapter one: The beginning.
Things have been stable at Neverwinter now that the cure of the plague has been given.
Now it was time to find this mysterious cult, who is responsible of the plague.
Lady Aribeth of Tylmarande, Paladin of Tyr, hired many mercenaries to help her finding the cult.
She also asked the help of the hero of Neverwinter, Jade,
which during the time of searching the cult's headquarters, became very good friend with the young lady paladin elf.
He listened to her whole story and her nightmares ever since Fenthick , her lover, was hanged because of betraying Neverwinter even though he thought he was helping the people of Neverwinter.
She felt so angry about it, that she did nothing to help him. Why would her god ,Tyr, punish his loyal subject for trying to do good deeds.
She wanted to avenge him, but she couldn't because of her vows as a paladin.
But Jade listened to her, calm her down and promised her that he would avenge Fenthick in her place.
She felt more at ease after hearing him saying so, she even gave him her father's ring as a token of friendship.
Even if her dark dreams were full of darkness, the memories of the previous days with Jade made her feel a little bit more happy.
But recently...
Something didn't feel right. She was angry, but not because of her dreams or Fenthick.
Ever since that day...
It was Linu's turn to cook this time. Since everyone knew the priest elf was very...VERY clumsy, they feared the worse.
She was doing well...they even thought the gods had heard them...but...
She stumbled over a sleeping dog (where did that dog came from? !) then the dog overturned the table which made everyone who was sitting next the table, fall.
Then a knife, which was on the table was thrown at Jade, who was sitting a little further.
The back of the knife was thrown so violently on his white mask, that it felt down.
Faren, Jade's familiar gave a small cry and said "Master's face! Master's face!"
Now, everyone was looking at his face.
He wasn't just handsome. He was beautiful! The beauty of the angels reincarnate!
His eyes widen as he realized his mask wasn't on his face anymore.
Many, many, many...Almost every women in the room fainted.
Sharwyn the bard was surprised but she recovered quickly and seemed very interested.
Linu, who was still on the floor looked up where everyone was looking and blushed madly.
Tomi Undergallows the halfling rogue thought it was a girl...Until Sharwyn hit him very hard until he bleed and told him "You don't understand real manliness."
Daelan red tiger the half-orc barbarian was surprised as well but it didn't affected him so much.
Aarin Gend, Lord Nasher's spy, was trying to stay serious but the situation didn't really help.
As for Lady Aribeth...
When Aarin coughed a bit and tried to make some order, she remembered the mask was still on the floor.
She walked toward it while telling everyone to keep working as if nothing happened. She picked it up and gave it to its owner.
He was still surprised by what happened but he gladly took the mask and gave her a warm smile : "Thank you Aribeth."
The moment their eyes met...
Her heart was beating so hard against her chest, it hurt. And she felt somewhat lightheaded as if she had had too much wine.
Her face felt very warm...She couldn't possibly blushing. It would be ridiculous.
She turned away quickly and said "Don't mention it..."
Ever since that day, she felt very frustrated and angry...because she could feel all the eyes..no...mostly women eyes on Jade ever since that day.
Some of them even ask him why does he have a mask. He was so much better without it.
What is it with everyone? ! If he doesn't want to show his face it's his right. He should tell them that.
There is no need of him to be nice to them...Why do I feel so...
Her eyes show sadness.
Why do I feel so uneasy...?
Could it be jeal- No, ridiculous...it can't be. I'm tired and think nonsenses.
"Is everything alright?" asked Aarin Gend as he came toward her.
"Ah Aarin. Yes...I feel alright." That was a lie but the spy didn't need to know about it.
A quiet moment came between the spy and the paladin until she broke the silence:
"I'm glad..."
"Huh?" asked Aarin.
She looked the door of Jade's room and continue: "The hero of Neverwinter...Jade have some very outstanding qualities..."
He is there when he is needed. His fighting skills are remarkable and he listened to my story, about my nightmares and worries too.
"I guess he isn't called the hero for nothing." nodded Aarin to what Aribeth was saying.
"I just hope..." Aarin looked at Aribeth. She said nothing until...
Everything would stay this way. (An untold prayer)
"Everything would be alright." she said finally.
While noticing nothing, the spy smiled kindly and said : "I hope so too."
The lady paladin said nothing, her calm and silence was icy...as if...
As if she knew 'hoping' wouldn't solve anything.
Bonus plot:
In a little corner, Four 'odd' friends were plotting something:
But most of it was because of the human bard and the halfling rogue.
The barbarian Half-orc didn't care and the priest elf didn't like their plan at all.
"Comrades, you all know why we are here." said Sharwyn.
"No I don't..." said directly Daelan.
"Honestly Sharwyn...I don't think this is a good idea...if he doesn't want to, then-"
"Linu dear, you are far too naive...this isn't for him...but for us!" said the human bard Sharwyn.
"Right! Think of all the gold we will obtain because of that pretty face of his." said Tomi the halfling rogue.
In Sharwyn and Tomi's head: Many women would want to see and touch the hero of Neverwinter.
100 gold to see his beautiful face...They will soon become rich, rich, rich! ! !
"That is why we must rain down divine punishment and take off his mask!" said cheerfully Sharwyn and Tomi while Daelan sighed and Linu Disapproved.
But then they felt the presence of an unspeakable horror behind them and saw Aribeth standing there, very, very angry...
"I'll give you divine punishment if you don't go back finding the cult this instance ! ! !" she yelled to them.
Her aura was very scary and her face too.
"A-Aye Lady Aribeth..." the four of them were scared to death.
That woman could wake up the deads with a voice like that.

Funding shortfall ends rural mental health program
THREE months ago the successful rural psychologist training program was presented with an award for excellence by the NSW Minister for Mental Health. This month, it will be forced to close because of lack of funding.
The closure of the Rural and Remote Area Psychologists Project could force much-needed psychologists from the bush, locals and psychologists say.
They hold grave concerns that the mental health of rural NSW will be forgotten now the decade-long drought has broken.
The award-winning program provided about one in five rural and regional NSW psychologists' continuing education, which the federal medical regulator says they need to practise. The closure comes after federal cuts to psychological services under the Better Access program.
Lois Stalley, the vice-president of the Country Women's Association of NSW, said it took a huge effort to get country people to talk about their state of mind, but now they would be left with nowhere to turn.
''Now the drought has finished, I know that they're starting to relax [the focus on mental health] and lose momentum,'' she said. ''But the drought was was only part of the problem.''
Farmers say there has been a decline in mental health services.
Graham Parry, who helped develop the psychologists' project, said it cannot get funding from the NSW government, and funding from the Psychology Council of NSW - about $150,000 a year - could no longer be provided now the council has been absorbed into the federal medical registration system.
He said the project had tapped into goodwill and donations from groups including the Black Dog Institute and Swinburne University.
"Without this program it's just going to be more difficult and more expensive to keep the existing workforce in rural areas," he said.
Barbara Perry, the opposition spokeswoman on mental health, said the situation was astounding.
''This award-winning program has, on a shoestring budget, performed a vital role," she said. "[This] is not only illogical, but undermines the O'Farrell government's stated aims of doing something about the lack of resourcing, isolation and maintenance of skill levels for mental health practitioners in rural and remote areas.''
This award-winning program has, on a shoestring budget, performed a vital role.
Linda McDouall, a psychologist in Barraba, said she did not know how she could continue working without the program.
"I don't have a plan, I'm just desperately hoping it will continue," she said.
People who work in agriculture have one of the highest rates of suicide in Australia.
Warren Bartik, a clinical psychologist with a part-time private practice in Armidale, said the program had been vital for helping psychologists deal with unique problems in rural areas.
The Minister for Mental Health, Kevin Humphries, said training was a matter for health professionals, employers, and local health districts.
"As a regional member of Parliament … I am well aware of the challenges facing regional communities," he said.
"Since coming into government we have made improving regional mental health a key priority, with new initiatives to ensure that geography is no longer a barrier to treatment."

A new publication from the Library of Congress gives valuable guidance to genealogists in particular about personal digital archiving. The publication is called:
The importance of this small publication cannot be overestimated. Here is part of the introduction giving an idea of the purpose behind this initiative:
Imagine someone 50 years from now who wishes to study our life in the early twenty-first century. Getting any kind of reasonable understanding will require using born-digital sources: websites, email, digital photographs and a host of other material that exist only in electronic form.
This means we have to preserve lots of digital information for a long time. Doing this work is, however, fundamentally different that preserving books, papers and other traditional forms of information. Digital content can be hard to capture, difficult to organize and use and prone to going obsolete due to changing technology.We all needed something exactly like this to give us the parameters of the official standards for preservation. This gives me and all of us a place to go to to see the position of the Library of Congress about this important subject.
The Library of Congress is attending to its digital holdings to ensure that they remain available over time. This is a critical responsibility for a collecting organization, and requires a good deal of careful planning and attention. Acting now, and continuing to act tomorrow, is essential if digital materials are to carry memories into the future.

ANNAPOLIS, Md. (AP) - The Maryland Senate and the House of Delegates have approved measures allowing natural gas companies to seek a surcharge of up to $2 on monthly gas bills to help recover costs for replacing aging infrastructure.
The Senate voted 35-12 on Thursday for the bill. The House vote was 120-17.
Lawmakers who supported the bill said companies need the boost to help replace aging pipes and address safety concerns. Supporters also say the surcharge would have to be approved by the Public Service Commission, and the money wouldn't be charged until work was done to improve infrastructure.
But opponents argued gas companies shouldn't be asking for extra money to do a job they should have been doing all along.
The two separate measures are similar.

Coconut-Macadamia Biscotti
I came up with this recipe after my husband and I returned from our first trip to Hawaii. Dipping these tropical treats in a good cup of coffee brings us right back to the wonderful memories we made there. —Shannon Koene, Blacksburg, Virginia

- 1-3/4 teaspoons baking powder
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup sweetened shredded coconut, toasted and finely chopped
- 1 cup macadamia nuts, coarsely chopped

Have made several times. Easy to sub other nuts, extracts depending on what I have.

I really like coconut, but did not like this combination with macadamia nuts. I prefer the almond biscotti.
Jan 9, 2014
This is a really good biscotti recipe. I have made this several times to give as gifts and every time I am asked for this recipe.

DanielADeYoung necesitaba un nuevo diseño de página web y lanzó un concurso de diseño en 99designs.
Un ganador ha sido elegido entre 63 diseños de 12 diseñadores freelance.
Curate LLC
We are starting up a retail store and related website that will sell gifts that accent body and home.
In general the merchandise will be non-mass produced, affordable, functional high-quality items that will primarily focus on women ages 20 and up, but will include gifts for men, infants, and of course the home.
Some examples of the types of things we will be carrying are: Italian leather goods like gloves and wallets, articles made of cashmere like throws for bed and sofas and scarves, jewelry, candles, home scents and one of a kind serving pieces as well as high end art pieces for home decorations.
On the other end of the spectrum, we will also carry less expensive whimsical items that would be appropriate for hostess gifts. We want the website to convey sophistication but with a light hearted feel.
We want people to think of us as a place to go to for gifts for themselves or others that exude quality but are fun to shop for, fun to own and rewarding to give.
Remember think Quality without Pretense
This Contest will be for TWO story boards (No HTML Coding).
Storyboard ONE: Front page of the website
Storyboard TWO: A typical Department page (no a product list page, but more of a landing page with content)
The final product should be a NEATLY layered and comment file that can be use to produce the look on the web without the need to redesign any elements. Please name your layers and group them accordingly. I do not want 80 layers all unnamed and scattered all over.
The logo and color scheme are already set in stone so be sure to only submit work within the guidelines.
The logo and color scheme can be seen at: http://www.curategifts.com
Creative element can be downloaded here, everyone should be able to find a file that will work in their program of choice.
In the most general terms they want a clean website that has some of the common web 2.0 design elements (gradients, rounded corners, small reflections, watermarked / opaque textures).
They want to see the name on the first storyboard spelled like in the dictionary "Cu-rate" with the following definition "bringing together fabulous collections under one roof"
Also the name is "Curate" NOT "CurateGifts" the CurateGifts is just the domain name!
The official tag line is "fabulous functional affordable gifts"
