We've just found out that some friends booked our venue (booked before us but we all just found out) for their wedding a couple of weeks before us. None of us are the type to steal ideas or anything, but I know the couple has good taste and might be going for something elegant like we are. I plan to discuss theme, colour, and dress with the other bride to make sure we aren't having the same wedding, but I can't help but be self-concious. The other bride is really gorgeous (like, she's on TV- I'm normal and slightly chubby) and I'm worried that it will be natural for people to compare when our pictures are right after each other on Facebook with the same background. They're also really artistic and might have a higher budget/more friends who can offer services. We don't have a ton of overlap at the weddings, but there is a buch of overlap in extended friend groups.
Am I worried for nothing? I know this couple won't do anything to sabotage or anything, they're really lovely. I'm just worried about judgement-like if ours is 'worse' or more boring or if she looks better, especially with us going two weeks later. It's hard to find something elegant in our price range, but I'm looking at alternative options. Would you try to change venues at this point or am I just being irrational and should I have a glass of wine and calm down?

You knew it was bound to happen. You just knew it. As cool as Google Street View is, it had to cross the line somewhere. Somewhere appears to be Pittsburgh.
Short story shorter: Couple's house appears on Street View. Couple lives on a private road. Couple is angry. Couple claims invasion of privacy. Couple sues Google for a sum greater than $25,000.
Guess what? This ain't your mama's privacy anymore.
Since the late 90s, the information available on the internet has exploded beyond what Al Gore and the ARPANET creators could have even imagined. You can look up pretty much anyone or anything, and get your answer. The availability of data is expanding as we move to mobile and wireless connectivity to digital information. Pew Research reported last month that 62% of all American adults have taken advantage of mobile internet connectivity. Information is everywhere, and it's accessible from anywhere.
When I do a search for my name on Google, I come up with 768,000 results. Some of those are about me, and some aren't. If I wanted to dig a little deeper, I would be able to find where I live, what I do for fun, and how often I've irritated people in my town with calls for Homeowners' Association Fiscal Responsibility. Luckily, there's no Street view of my house, yet, but I know it's coming. And, being the "digital native" that my boss calls me, I'll just have to accept it. The worms are out of the can, my friends. We can't put them back, but we can learn to live with them.
That brings me to my main point. In a connected culture, we have to redefine our own expectations of privacy. Let's call it Privacy 2.0, just for fun.
It's no longer reasonable to assume that people won't be able to easily find out where you live or what your house is worth. It's not reasonable to assume that if you get loaded at an underage drinking party, pictures of you won't show up on Facebook. It's not reasonable to assume that anything you do outside the 4 walls of your own home won't be captured, recorded, and added to the ever-growing base of human knowledge. Don't expect that your private life is anything near what you used to think of as private. It simply isn't.
So, where does that leave you? You've got to understand that now, more than ever, you have to accept responsibility for your actions, and make sure that you're acting in a manner that portrays the image you want to portray. You've also got to be more diligent about your own security and safety. If that means installing a security system or more locks, do it. You must realize that people are going to know more about you than you might want. People will form impressions of you based on what they find on-line, and first impressions always matter.
Back to our friends from Pittsburgh… My (personal, non-BSG-Alliance) opinion is that they're just looking for a quick buck. Their home is pictured, along with drawings of the rooms, on the Allegheny County website. Until they sue the county, I can't really believe it's about anything more than money.


text: I need a WordPress theme that will allow me to import a spreadsheet. Maybe a plugin could accomplish this. There will be about 6 or 7 columns and as many as 200 rows. It does not have to be beautiful. It needs to be functional. Legible. Accessible. Nothing is being done to promote this site. It sells excessive power coating from the clients shop to other powder coaters in the area. Other powder coaters buy the excess and the client gets paid, they get the powder the same day and don't have to buy minimum quantities, and my client doesn't have to store it. Powder salesmen go to this site to help out smaller shops. Sometimes you need two pounds of powder to coat a bike and the manufacturers minimum is 25 pounds. The information changes frequently and I need to find a better way to update this than cutting and pasting a SS into XSite Pro and uploading it. If I could find a way to upload the spread sheet after I modify it to reflect current inventory I would be happy. Maybe there is a way to just upload the SS from Excel to the site without all the cutting and pasting. That would be ideal. This client doesn't know about web sites and doesn't want to learn. So the easier the updating is the better. Thank you for your consideration Please don't restrict yourself to only the two ideas discussed. If you have a better idea that accomplishes the task I would love to hear it.

The Duchess of Cambridge is expected to take maternity leave from mid- June and will not carry out royal duties during this time.
During a visit to Scotland, Catherine revealed she plans to go on maternity leave from her royal duties from 'around June time'.
The expecting Royal, who is six months' pregnant, also revealed that her due date is 'around mid-July' – a slightly more detailed hint than the official announcement from St James's Palace earlier this year that confirmed July would be Catherine's due month.
When asked about her due date, Catherine replied: 'It's around mid-July but apparently babies have their own agenda"
During mid June, Trooping The Colour and the Order of the Garter ceremonies take place in London and Windsor respectively, and it is widely expected that Catherine will attend both events which means these will most likely be her last royal duties before the baby comes.
Catherine is expected to take maternity leave after the birth and it is unlikely the royal couple will take on a royal tour this year.
Speaking last month, private secretary Jamie Lowther-Pinkerton to the Duke and Duchess, said William and Kate would be focusing on their family life this year and a view on royal tours will be "assessed" later on.
He continued: "I'm not anticipating the Duke and Duchess taking on overseas tours because of her baby."
There had been mounting speculation that Prince William and The Duchess of Cambridge would take on a tour to Australia and New Zealand at some point in the near future, however it is expected this tour will take place in 2014 now.
The Foreign Office, which organises royal tours, is aware that Commonwealth realms such as Australia and New Zealand are extremely eager to welcome the royal couple in the near future, and will be keen to wait until both The Duke and Duchess can travel abroad before arranging such a major visit.

Episode 15: HOT HOT HOT
Intro: There's a change in back ground this week because autofocus hates me - which is why I didn't upload an episode last week.
Knitting: I am working on socks out of a new colourway from Stranded Dyeworks in the 'Flamingo Legs' colourway. These are the Dyad Top Down socks from Sock Architecture by Lara Neel.
FO's: Improvised socks - toe up with an afterthought heel with 1x1rib for one round every time the colour changed. Knit out of Knit Picks Felici in the 'Baker Street' colourway.
I finished a Luuk hat by Annis Jones out of some handspun from Jelly Beans Yarns batts in the 'Candyfloss' colourway.
I knit an army of Garter Stitch Ear Flap Hats which is a free pattern on the Purl Bee blog. The first is knit with Cascade 220 superwash, the second is super old hand dyed aran, the third is leftovers of Stranded Dyeworks Oasis Fingering in 'Highway Code' and 'Spook' held together, as is the fourth.
I also improvised a hat - vaguely using this pattern - but in a heavier weight - fingering held doubled instead of fingering weight. This is knit out of 'Spook' and 'Highway Code' held together, striped with mystery rainbow sock yarn held together.
The big finished objects are:
My Quicksilver Shawl by Melanie Berg, also knit out of Stranded Dyeworks Oasis in the colours 'Party Dress', 'Spook' and 'Highway Code'.
And my Mira sweater by Justyna Lorkowska - which I've shown before, is blocked and the ends are woven in.
You can find all my yardage for Stash Dash here.
I spun some natural wool - it's a mystery wool - very rustic, 2ply.
I spun some felted fibre claiming to be 18.5 micron extra fine Merino. Naming no names here. Single ply.
Next up is another single ply - hand dyed Merino in my banned 'Clone Club' colourway. I mention Orphan Black which is the TV show the colourway name comes from.
Finally I spun up an unlabelled colourway from the stash - I think it's from Spin Pretty. It's a 2ply, using a technique mentioned in the Craftsy class Spinning Dyed Fibres with Felicia Lo.
Stash Enhancement:
I bought three braids of Merino/Tussah Silk in the 'Pebble Beach' colourway from Spindles and Stitches.
I also bought three braids of fibre from Artist's Palette Yarns - a braid of BFL in the 'As Luck Would Have It' colourway, and two braids of Superwash BFL in the colourways 'Grand Dame' and 'Fandom'.
You can find my etsy shop Stranded Dyeworks right here.
I have three new colourways - two repeatable ones - in the shop this week. I have a batch of Paintbox no. 15 - a one of a kind colourway on my Solo Singles base.
'Candy Wrapper' is in stock on Oasis Fingering and 'Feathered' - my blue tit inspired colourway - is in stock on Oasis Fingering and Solo Singles.
Thankyou so much for watching!

Ginger Tea
November 4, 2011 § Leave a comment
I have an easily upset stomach, and I hate taking medicine, so this has been a wonderful alternative to pain relievers and gas pills for me.
Ginger is known to alleviate nausea, arthritis, diarrhea, and even lower cholesterol. Not only this but it is an analgesic, sedative, and has antipyretic and antibacterial properties!
Below is my rough recipe for ginger tea, but these instant crystals were also popular in Japan, where I first drank this tea.
Ginger Tea
- Peel and cut up ginger roughly
- Pour equal parts sugar, water, and ginger into pot
- Boil until mixture takes on a syrupy consistency, about 30 minutes
- Either strain out ginger or leave in and store in a jar
- Make tea by pouring hot water over ginger mixture

The crowds returned to Suncorp Stadium tonight as Brisbane scored a rare home win with a 2-0 defeat of North Queensland Fury. Brisbane Roar: 2 (Sergio van Dijk '20, '42) North Queensland Fury: 0 Venue: Suncorp Stadium Crowd: 11,530
Both sides had a similar amount of play in the opening fifteen minutes but the best chance went to the Roar when Brazilian playmaker Henrique attempted a flying overhead from a tight angle but his spectacular effort went agonisingly wide of the mark.
In the 16th minute, Fury's Robbie Fowler had a good chance to open the scoring when he was played on-side by Daniel McBreen but his audacious chip from just inside the area was well held by Roar keeper Griffin McMaster.
Minutes later the Roar found themselves in front when Henrique broke down the right flank after a long ball forward and his first time cross was neatly tucked away by Sergio van Dijk from the six-yard box.
Right on the 25-minute mark, Fury went close again when McBreen found room by himself at the back of a corner that cleared the pack but his sweet left-foot strike was cleared by a wall of Brisbane players.
With just over four minutes remaining in the half, the Roar went up 2-0 when van Dijk slid the ball home from a Matt McKay pass after a good build up from the home side and gave them what was seemingly an unassailable lead.
The second half was an even affair, with the visitors working hard but unable to create any threatening goalscoring opportunities.
Meanwhile at the other end, Brisbane wasted several good scoring opportunities, being unable to add to the halftime scoreline.

For years the European Commission regulators and the U.S. Federal Trade Commission have opposed the practice of pharmaceutical companies paying their generic competitors to delay bringing a generic drug to market. It's not illegal in the U.S. to delay introduction, but apparently it is illegal to pay a generic manufacturer to keep a generic off the market permanently.The EU raided Astra Zeneca and Nycomed this week based on information that "pay for delay" was occurring. In the past other pharmaceutical companies, branded and generic, have been the subject of investigations both in Europe and the U.S.I was quoted on behalf of The Global Healthy Living Foundation in a statement delivered to The Hill in Washington, D.C. in which I said:"We believe strongly in the need to make low cost drugs available to the public as soon as possible whether they are generic or branded. This will inevitably lead to lower costs to the patient, as well as the taxpayer, and provide additional options to the prescriber when treating a patient. "We are in a budget-centric healthcare environment, and payers especially, are cutting costs by reducing access to medications through fail first and switching policies. Along with these policies, "pay for delay" needs to be investigated, and the offenders need to be prosecuted. There is no room in healthcare reform for these kinds of abuses. It's the patient and the taxpayer who will suffer, and these people are the ones who are least able to endure more pain," said Louis Tharp, executive director, Global Healthy Living Foundation.I will keep you updated on how this issue progresses, especially in the U.S.

Rating of 2/4
This movie took three years to find a release and it shows in the dated and often half-hearted material. The standout is probably Tyler Labine who channels a Jack Black-like persona into a certain energy and comic timing. The rest of the actors are sort of going through the motions and the film never picks up any momentum.

Rating of 1.5/4
It started off good enough & had my interest right from the start up until the orgy happened so what could've been an awesome movie was ruined by a boring orgy.Like Nick Kroll's character said "Worst Orgy Ever" & he was right.The best thing about A Good Old Fashioned Orgy was the secret swingers club that was operated out of Freds Beds.That was hilarious

Well, it doesn't matter if you've slumped into your chair with disappointment and frustration after having tried and failed to learn Italian in the past... (In fact, the worse your previous attempts at learning Italian have been, the more excited I am that you are here...)
Or if sometimes you feel like you are so busy that you don't even have time to eat, let alone parlare Italiano (to speak Italian), because a few minutes a day is all it takes...
And don't think you're too old and that you can't teach an old dog new tricks, because being older can make language learning easier, and stimulating your mind can add years to your life...
Maybe you are tone deaf (like me!), well that doesn't matter at all, because before you know it you will be ordering linguine and ciabatta like a native Italian speaker...
Even if you believe that languages don't stick in your brain, when in fact, with the right system, they can stick like krazy glue...
I'm Jason Oxenham, CEO and co-founder of Rocket Languages. Since 2004, our mission has been to let ordinary people truly master a new language anywhere they want to learn and at any time they wish to do it.
Today I want to invite you to join the 1,212,346 happy, successful, men and women from all 196 countries around the world, who've discovered how one amazing, award-winning, system will help them learn Italian, when other systems have failed.
The very same system the illustrious PCMag selected as their Editors Choice for language learning, rating it above all the other well-known systems out there...
...and which also took out the prestigious 19th Annual Best Educational Software Award last year.
Jason Oxenham: Rocket Languages Co-founder and CEO
How is it that some people "get" Italian easily and yet others, people like you and me, just get frustrated and lost? Well, I can tell you…
You can bet that they're not wasting time sitting in a classroom getting a small fraction of the teachers' time and attention...
They're not trying to avoid the teachers gaze, hoping they won't be singled out for embarrassment by having their poor pronunciation exposed in front of the whole class...
They're not mindlessly parroting the same phrases over and over with their classmates while their Italian teacher stalks the room...
And they are definitely not plowing through old school workbooks and grammar texts, trying to work out what's going on...
The scientific theory behind our courses is the "chunking" process or Miller's Law by Dr. George A. Miller, which is based on the fact that the number of objects an average human can hold in working memory is 7 ± 2. So, simply described, it is the breaking down of big difficult content into small easy parts or "chunks".
Now, while it's important to have a strong scientific basis for a language learning system, it's equally important for you to know what works in the real world, from people who have succeeded at mastering one or more languages.
We have spent over 10 years figuring out what works and what doesn't, we have surveyed polyglots (people who speak multiple languages), researched people who overcame often severe learning difficulties to master a language, used advances in web technology, and much more…
All to develop a ground-breaking system that will get you speaking and understanding the language you've always loved, no matter how old you are, or what your current Italian speaking ability is.
Discover how the 7 powerful language acquisition success strategies in Rocket Italian will help you learn Italian no matter what your background is...
You say that you don't have time to learn Italian?
Well, you may have more time than you may think! Many successful language learners use what appears to be downtime to keep building their knowledge, and you can too...
You can learn Italian at your own pace and in your own time, without adding to your already busy schedule by having to attend Italian classes!
That's why a key component of Rocket Italian, the Interactive Audio Course, is designed so you can learn Italian:
during your commute to work,
while you are at the gym,
walking the dog,
doing the housework,
or anytime that you are on the go...
Listen to and/or download a free Rocket Italian introductory Interactive Audio Course track here.
(Note: this is just the audio, with the full Rocket Italian course you get a full transcript of the conversation and all other Italian words and phrases used in the audio track too)...
It consists of tons of audio lessons, with each track averaging over 25 minutes in length, that are designed to train your ear to Italian and prompt you to speak and respond to your tutors, Maria and Alex.
Each audio track guides you through an everyday conversation that you are likely to have in Italy or when speaking to Italian people.

A word of warning! If you are completely new to Italian then this Italian conversation may sound like complete gobbledygook in the beginning. That's entirely normal, it may take several listens until you can break it down. So download it and use it!
Look what from has to say...
Awesome product. Very easy to follow, precise and to the point. I like being able to download the interactive audio lessons and listen in the car. Rocket record is also extremely helpful for pronunciation. I can't wait to start level 2.
Anthony Scorziello— United States
Amazing program! I was able to learn enough Italian through this program within about 6 months to VERY successfully work in Venice. With a little bit of extra study (to learn career-specific terminology) I was able to communicate almost exclusively in Italian for the two months I was working in Italy.
Lee Mills— Baltimore, MD, United States
A key fact that has been surprisingly often "overlooked" by some other "big name" companies is that you MUST know the mechanics of how Italian works for you to truly master Italian.
Italian, like most languages, has a completely different sentence structure to English, which means that you need to have that structure explained to you, it's not something that you can pick up by osmosis!
That's why the Rocket Express Learning System® has in-depth, step by step instructions on how Italian works in English, as well as valuable cultural tips with our Language and Culture lessons.
With Rocket Italian's Language & Culture lessons you will discover the mechanics of Italian and access audio tracks of thousands of common Italian words and phrases that go with the lessons.
Hello, my name is Rosemary Ponzo. I am a native New Yorker, who's heritage is Italian, but could not utter a word until Rocket Italian.
Rocket Italian gave me the confidence and poise to be able to speak Italian fluently. I highly recommend Rocket Italian this guided course can be player over and over again so that if you've missed something you can go back and replay it.
The biggest benefit was that I can play my lessons on my Ipod and listen, learn and go through it at my own pace.
With the Rocket Italian course you'll receive the audio lessons and the written grammar as well. The lessons are fun and non intimidating, starting first in English and then in Italian, so it is easy to comprehend, and at the end of each lesson you feel like you have learned another part of this beautiful language.
Rocket Italiano é molto buono. Ciao
Rosemary Ponzo— New York, USA, United States
In most classroom settings the learning that you do is not very efficient, mainly because the pace of the learning is dictated by the teacher and the class size, not you...
And that's not even considering the low amount of information that is retained. A study by German psychologist, Hermann Ebbinghaus, showed that within an hour most people have forgotten 50% of what they have learned and within 2 days it's pretty much all gone...
So, it stands to reason that a major key to successfully learning Italian is remembering as much as possible of what you have learnt. Particularly being able to remember it when you are under pressure to speak!
That's where the Rocket Reinforcement activities come in. Our scientifically designed algorithm re-displays words and phrases that you are weak on until they stick in your head like glue.
Each Rocket Italian lesson has a variety of reinforcement activities, with each one designed to reinforce and enhance your recall in a different way;
What's more this all ties into your own personalized progress tracking system, keeping you on the path to mastery!
Hear it Say it! improves your understanding of spoken Italian. Fantastic for training your ear to Italian,
Write it! improves your ability to write/type in Italian, and at the same time reinforces the words, phrases and sentence structures, so they become familiar to you...
Know it! All the training in the world won't help you if someone is talking to you in Italian and your mind freezes when it is your turn to speak! That's why we developed Know it!; our tool for putting you on the spot!
Play it! With our latest learning tool, Play it! you are taking part in the actual conversation from the Interactive Audio Course. Don't ever toss and turn worrying about opening your mouth and having the wrong words come out. Play it! trains you to say the right thing at the right time!
Quiz! Reinforce your knowledge of the Language lesson concepts with our multi-choice quiz
Rocket Italian has been a fantastic help to me learning Italiano. I still consider myself a novice speaker but much less of a novice than I was at the start. The interactive audio is a great way to practise the language because you feel you are participating. This makes the learning feel more empowering for me. I love the part at the end of the interactive conversations where you can test your learning. The three types of testing really help to cement the language for me. Another part I love is the question section in the Rocket Italian package. I have learned a lot from reading questions and answers. I like the flexible nature of the package; you can dip in to any part of it at any time because you don't have to work through it in serial style.

One of the tricks that people who have mastered another language swear by is speaking out loud as often as you can. This activates key areas of your brain to further reinforce the new connections that are being made as you learn Italian.
NOTE: Due to system requirements Rocket Record will work on Desktop PC, Android and iOS apps only.
The Rocket Express Learning System® has several features that prompt you to speak Italian out loud. One of the most impressive and useful is Rocket Record...
You will gain the huge benefits of speaking out loud and also be able to improve your pronunciation and accent with our voice recognition tool, Rocket Record.
My mom and I talked about going to Italy but she thought we would want to take a tour since we don't speak the language. Tours sound horrible to me, I would rather we went on our own. Unfortunately, my mom has passed away, but I still want to go. I have thought for more than a year on trying to learn the language. I read a lot of reviews and Rocket Italian always came out near the top. I also tried several samples of different programs. I liked the way on Rocket Italian that you can see the spelling and practice how to say the words properly. I took Latin in high school and find that it has helped in my recognizing Italian words when I read them. I didn't think I would feel comfortable with Italian so quickly. I also didn't know it would be so fun!

Gone are the days of sitting in a classroom while Mrs X wanders up and down the aisles, getting you to repeat "Io parlo Italiano" over and over...
Over the last 10 years there have been huge advances in learning techniques, and in language learning methods in particular...
For example did you know this hyperglot method? (A hyperglot is someone who knows 6 or more language fluently, as opposed to the more commonly known term, polyglot, who knows 3-5 languages)
"Shadowing" is a hyperglot method devised by hyperglot Alexander Arguelles. The basic method is this:
download an audio book in the target language
put your headphones on and try to repeat the dialogue simultaneously and verbatim
Essentially, you play a native-speaker dialogue through your headphones and as you hear it, even if you don't understand a word of it, you repeat the sounds at the same time.
It's learning another language in a way that's similar to how you learned your first language – repeating sounds exactly as you hear them. It's a great way for you to master colloquial speech, and your accent and intonation.
Rocket Italian has 25 Advanced Learning Technique articles that will give you learning techniques like this. Discover more tips and tricks that will dramatically cut the amount of time you need to study.
The best language program I've come across. It has everything: speaking, writing, listening, notes, grammar, culture and multiple tests to check whether the lesson is understood. Very complete. I have recommended it to several people.

To have the best chance of success with mastering Italian, you need a strong network of fellow learners and native speakers to help you along when you get stuck. You don't want to be sitting there throwing your hands up in the air in frustration if you come across a tricky bit...

I fell into your program by accident while surfing the web in researching out a competitor's program. I said 'Why not!' It was just what I needed for the type of learner that I am, audio supported by visual (down loadable text). I recommend this highly.
Your staff is very supportive and were very understanding, (as I am advanced in years and not very computer literate), in answering my questions.
My purpose in learning the Italian language is to continue stimulating my little gray cells and widening my intellectual horizons. Your program is helping to do this.
I have visited Italy several times and hope to do so again and having a knowledge of the language enriches the experience.
Ma io dico molto grazie a Rocket Italian, io voglio parlare l'italiano con i miei cugini a Firenze. Molto grazie

The final method that successful language learners use is high motivation; which means maintaining your motivation and actively improving it.
Have you ever tried doing something new that was so exciting that you had an inability to concentrate on anything else? Then as time goes on it, slowly but surely, it gets to the stage where it's easier for you to stay in bed... I think we have all been there...
That's why the Rocket Express Learning System® has been designed to include a whole range of activities and features that will keep you engaged, motivated, and on track. Such as...
Progress tracking: your at-a-glance Dashboard, so you know where you are up to
Rating system: As you go, you get to rate how well you know, words, phrases, and lessons. The more you know, the better your rating
Badges, points, and the leaderboard: this works really well to keep you motivated and coming back for more
Phrase Finder: so you can find words and phrases within different contexts throughout the course
My Vocab: a handy tool for you to store any difficult to remember vocabulary
My Notes: another handy tool that lets you make personal notes on each lesson for future reference
FlashCards: improve your active recall of Italian words and phrases using FlashCards. With a FlashCard set for every lesson, you will be mastering Italian before you know it!
Optional weekly emails: reporting on your overall progress and pointing you towards recommended lessons
Lifetime access: every Rocket Italian course is yours for life - 24/7
Free upgrades: we are always working on improving the Rocket Express Learning System®, and when we make improvements they are yours for free!
Since starting the Rocket Italian course in January I have found it to be very educational, easy to use and especially practical since you can study at your own pace and schedule. It is very flexible but, at the same time, it remains a challenge which I find to be one of the best features. Recently with the introduction of the Rocket Scheduler and the Play It features the course has taken on a new dimension adding to the challenge of staying on a learning schedule (keeping the streak going daily) and practicing conversation with Alex and Maria. These two additional features are outstanding! Thanks to the Rocket Italian developers for these two added features...this course is well worth the price!

That all depends on how you go about it...
Let's do a quick comparison and look at some of the alternatives.
Last time I checked, if you decided to buy one of our competitors software packages, like the well-known yellow ones you so often see advertised on the TV, you could be paying upwards of $500, never mind additional lessons that you may need to take to fill the gaps.
Next, if you decided to take a language class, you'd be looking at paying at least $300 - $400 a semester, and that doesn't include the cost of textbooks and time away from the things you really want to be doing. Not to mention how little personal time you get in a classroom setting...
Alternatively, you might consider hiring a local or online private tutor, but at the bare minimum you would be paying close to $50 an hour. Sure, it's smart to get one-on-one attention but it will end up being very expensive and there is no guarantee their method of teaching is going to work for you. Who knows, maybe they focus on a learning style that doesn't gel with the way you grasp language. Plus, you can't repeat a lesson without paying them again.
Maybe you've considered enrolling in a college or university course. No doubt, you've probably already seen that tuition could cost you anywhere between $1,500 to $2,000 on the low end, and let's face it, that means you're going to be busy trying to get to classes, wading through heavy text-books, and juggling with more than you need in order to speak and understand a language.
And finally, maybe you've thought about simply diving in at the deep end and trying to learn through complete immersion in a foreign country. You know, booking a flight, paying for accommodation and flying by the seat of your pants.
Truth is you don't need to spend a huge amount of money, or years behind a desk to become proficient at daily conversation. Rocket Italian provides a simple, quick, and affordable means of achieving mastery at Italian, while allowing you to continue doing what you want. It's that flexible.
So how much is it worth to you, to save all that money and time?
With Rocket Italian, it works out to be less than $1 per hour of tuition, that's unbeatable value in anyone's book.
You can get started on your way to Italian mastery in less than 1 minute. Just select your level from the table below.
As soon as you have ordered you will be directed to the Rocket Italian members' area where you can access all the tools you need to truly master Italian.
Remember, your access is 24/7 and is yours for life, including any and all course upgrades... so, once you have it you can come back to it at any time.
Today, with every order, you will get a ton of extra audio and vocab in the form of our Survival Kits.
These tailor-made Survival Kit lessons are specially designed to be fun, flexible and easy to use. No boring vocabulary lists or heavy phrasebooks for you!
Your Survival Kit is made up of targeted Rocket Italian Vocab Sessions with interactive audio that focus on essential Italian words and phrases and their pronunciation. You can use them anywhere, anytime. You can use them online, download them to your computer, or even transfer them to your smart phone or tablet.
The Survival Kits sell everyday on our website for $49.95, but we're including it absolutely FREE when you buy today from this page.
That's right: this is my personal guarantee to you. Here's exactly how it works.
Look, I'm a regular person like you. And I know that it can be difficult to trust people you come across online, especially when we've made some pretty big statements here today.
I've told you that a lot of common methods to learn Italian are one-dimensional and not based on the key language acquisition methods that the pro's use. And I've told you that I've got a system that, if you dedicate 20 minutes a day to, and do what I say, then you're going to master Italian no matter what your age or ability.
Jason Oxenham: Rocket Languages Co-founder and CEO
Without having to attend classes
Without having to go through some old school text book
Without having to look at pictures of apples over and over again.
Before you know it you're going to be able to have actual conversations in Italian.
You will be able to speak like a native, to natives, and have them slapping you on the back and saying that you're the one person that understands them.
I want to make it an absolute no-brainer for you today, here's what I'm going to do, simply order the course, enter your credit card or PayPal information, and you'll have 60 full days to try this out before you decide if it's for you.
You can decide in those 60 days whether you have the time and the motivation to learn Italian... If at any point in the next 60 days you don't feel like the system lived up to what I said here, or if you don't think that you personally have time to go through the program, simply contact my customer services team, let them know, and they will issue you with a prompt and courteous refund...
No Questions. No Hassles. Just contact us at [email protected]. It's that simple.

Ciao a tutti, welcome everybody, mi chiamo Bob, my name is Bob.
I think I must be one of the most recent students in the Rocket Italian program because I just began the course less than 1 week ago. The exciting part is that I've already begun speaking simple phrases in "la bella lingua" For years I've been meaning to learn Italian, but kept putting it off because I thought it would be too hard to learn as an adult, spending hours trying to memorize words and word forms... was I wrong about that.
With the help of my online tutor Maria and Alex I'm finding that I'm able to pick up phrases and pronunciation with only a little bit of concentration and practice. I'm already at the point where I'm impatient to get to the next lesson.
If you want to not only learn Italian, but what to pick up important information about the Italian people and the culture while having fun in the process, this is the program for you.
If you are planning a trip to Italy, wanting to communicate with friends or native speakers, or if you are like me and just want the pride and satisfaction of being bilingual, I would strongly recommend this program, it works and it's fun, you'll be speaking Italian immediately... seriamente, seriously, this is the way to learn. Arrivederci.
Robert Thompson— Las Vegas, USA, United States

Here we reprise the earlier article, "Insane in the Membrane".
This is a submission from one of the doctors here at painonline. Our thanks to the medical professionals who contribute:
"I remember giving a history and physical to my chief resident and including the comment that the patient was insane. The chief resident said, "You don't have to include that. I can tell it from the history you are giving." Do we sound any different in describing our central pain? In my thinking, it sometimes seems as if Central Pain induces a type of insanity. Either that, or the world itself becomes insane, so the person just struggles on. Perhaps it is really just exaggerated stress, rather than insanity, but there is clearly something wrong.
From what I know, and I study brain function, EVERY thought and brain function can be reduced to some chemical reaction. Chemoarchitecture of the brain is more important than anatomical structural architecture, although both are linked. Saying this, I believe the chemical processes of the pain system ARE insane in central pain. They do not make sense, they are disordered to the point of being counter to logic. If this is not insanity, it is close to it. So we become partners with some insane part of the nervous sytem, inside our own body.
This is not the same as loss of sensation, which would be a nothing. It is an active presence, which must be dealt with in thought and mental prioritizing. Since the pain is just a construct, which does not exist in the exterior world, it is a special enemy, rather than an imaginary friend. We cannot come to terms with it, because it does not want us to. Pain does not call for inaction nor being ignored. It sends alien voices to our happiness and reasoning. All these phenomena show how insane pain is acting in a damaged nervous system.
It is only natural to express pain openly or subconsciously. Yet, what we are expressing is an insanity. Hence, no one likes to deal with it.
Other than in very limited circumstances, I have never found that talking about it is helpful to anyone. It is not a message we can give them. And so, in general, we must live pretend lives. This permits those around us to grow and proceed on their ways as they must. We sit as flies on the wall, in agony, hoping for the best for others, although our preoccupation with suffering virtually guarantees that our active participation in their good will be minimal. We can only hope it will be enough. We attempt to constrain the insanity within ourselves, so that it will not harm our loved ones.
For us, this passes as righteousness (whatever that is), although inspired living is most difficult, if not impossible in the severe cases. This is because there is a focus on death when one is in longstanding terrible pain, which runs counter to the proper attitude toward life, and the gratefulness we should feel for blessings. Our gratefulness is miniscule, like the widow's mite, but how are we to counter the evil.
When we are lost in the current of pain, it will carry us away. It does not help to think back to familiar territory. When we are in its grip, we must find a way to gain a little steerage, to deal with the situation we are in now. We must try to find something buoyant and hang onto it. This is different from directed travel. In this position, how does one choose right or wrong effectively. How do we find balance in life. I suspect that we do not, in fact, do this, in an objective sense. Loss of choice voids some of the accomplishment we feel in exercising our agency in life."

Earlier today the euro tumbled against its peers, following the ECB's largely unexpected move to lower its benchmark interest rate to 0.25%, a record low.
EUR/USD hit a low of 1.3295, as the move by the central bank prompted a wave of euro selling, but the shared currency has recovered somewhat as the day has progressed, recouping some of its losses to stand at 1.3427 by early afternoon in New York, representing a drop of 0.64% on the day.
You know something unusual must be up if a currency dumps against the euro on such a day, and that is precisely the case with the Czech koruna, which fell a record amount against the euro after the Czech National Bank made its first intervention in the forex markets in over a decade, acting to weaken its currency in a bid to boost falling inflation.
Governor Miroslav Singer said that the central bank was 'in for the long term', adding that 'the question is not whether we stop in 2014, it is rather a question if it will be enough.' EUR/CZK was up 4.8% at one point, the biggest one-day gain for the currency pair on record.
Twitter's IPO went smoothly on the New York Stock Exchange today, opening well above its IPO price. By early afternoon on Wall Street, it was standing at $46.80 a share, some 80% higher than the IPO price of $26.
Despite the risk appetite demonstrated by investors for Twitter, US shares have slipped back today from their recent record highs. The Dow dropped 0.36% to 15,690, while the S&P 500 fell 0.82% to 1755.9.

I can't wait to work on list #1! thanks!
There is a southwest michigan – full of wonderful sites to visit!! The bucket list is good as far as it goes, but it pretty much ignores one important part of the state – its way too Detroit-area-centric.
Don"t forget to see the cars race on the fastest race track in america at the MIS.
Uh, technically, not all of these are "in the mitten." Some of them are in the UP. I'm thrilled that you included sites in the UP because they're wonderful. But people have got to stop calling MI the mitten. It's marginalizing half the state.

I was very surprised that I didn't see this on more lists … a fall color tour, including the tunnel of trees from Harbor Springs to Cross Village, followed by a sunset dinner on the lawn at Legs Inn.
There is very minimal things to do in Michigan. Almost Everything on this list requires it to be summertime. Michigan is boring 80% of the time since it's all snow 80% of the time.
Best sailboarding in the country, Tawas Point State Park. It will take your breath away.
Add to mi bucket list
Visit some of the UP waterfalls.
Visit White Pine Village

Visit a museum and a historical house such as the Whaley House in Flint

Or a beer challenge in Grand Rapids (see if you can visit every brewery there in x amount of time http://www.experiencegr.com/things-to-do/beer-city/ ). Take in a local tractor pull on the MTPA schedule and make sure you bring hearing protection. Take a 600′ zipline ride at Cannonsburg!

Victorian reservoir in Clayton-le-Woods 'may be lost'
Plans to sell land above an underground Victorian reservoir in Lancashire could mean losing a "historical gem".
The brick-vaulted Clayton reservoir is under land in Back Lane, Clayton-le-Woods, which is being auctioned by United Utilities on 22 February.
Chorley Historical Society's Rosemary Boyd said she would "hate to lose this piece of Victorian architecture".
A spokesman for United Utilities said it was a "fairly common design".
The reservoir, built in 1884 to provide water storage for Leyland, was decommissioned 20 years ago.
Ms Boyd said: "We would love to find the funding to save the reservoir but it is very difficult to apply for funding when you don't know how much you need.
"It is a shame because it is a wonderful opportunity for children from local schools to see Victorian architecture.
"It is the oldest and last surviving example of a brick-vaulted reservoir construction in the area."
The society has applied twice to have the reservoir listed by English Heritage but was refused.
Planning permission for residential development has been approved by Chorley Council.
United Utilities said: "Ecology and heritage issues were explored thoroughly as part of the planning application.
"The process also included public consultation with residents and the local parish councillor in the summer of 2010 when the intentions to sell the site were clearly outlined."

CLAIMED MH17 SHOOTDOWN SATELLITE IMAGE IS A FAKE!• whatreallyhappened.com
The alleged image is a good fake, but not that good. A proper examination reveals two proofs that the image isn't genuine. First the aircraft's scale is all wrong. Second the background is a Google Earth image from September 2011. So at best it might be termed a hypothetical depiction of the event.
The article goes on to speculate as to the motive behind the creation and release of the image. However, the only thing that can be said for certain is that any site that tries to pass this image off as genuine, wittingly or not, is promoting a fraud. So, caveat emptor.

- Wedding: March 2015 - City Winery New York, NY
How is the planning going? Where does everyone stand?
How is the planning going? Where does everyone stand?
LAB: Starting to panic a little bit, we've been so busy around the house (putting up a privacy fence, installing a pool, etc) that the wedding took a backseat! He proposed on Christmas and when we set our date it was like "it's cool, we've got 15 months, plenty of time" and now it's like "holy crap we're almost at the 9 month mark and we haven't done shit!!" lol.
RedheadMeggs: I know what you mean!!! I feel like the time is flying by! Congrats on all the new house stuff, though. New pool – that sounds nice – and just in time for summer!
LAB: It's keeping our kids happy and occupied it's paid for itself already in a week for the sanity it has given us lol (we have 6 kids together, 3 mine, 3 his). How far along are you in planning? What's your date? Ours is 3-15-15 🙂
hey ladies!! My wedding is 3/21/15. I just booked my final vendor last night. Now, its on to the DIY projects- decor/flowers, and all things stationary!
I can tell you, after being on this site for so long, it definitely pays to book things early! We got every vendor we wanted! Good luck ladies!
LAB: Yay i'm so excited! it's finally starting to feel more real, this year has already gone by SO fast, it'll be March before we know it!
We've got all our major things booked, starting to look in to the smaller details now, sending out save the dates etc. On one hand I want it to just be here already but on the other, I'm trying to enjoy every part of the lead up because I know once it's over i'll miss all this wedding stuff!
Looking forward to hearing from more March '15 brides as we get closer! 🙂
RedheadMeggs: Our's is March 28, 2015. Our anniversary (dating) is the 28th of another month and my fiance thought he would be able to remember it if we kept it on the 28th, lol!
LAB: I wanted to keep our anniversary on May 17th but here in FL a wedding in May would be HOT. My sister got married in May, outside, I was the Maid/Matron of Honor and 6 months preggo with twins–not good times lol.
Hello! I'm going to be a 14th of March 2015 bride also! I'm a new bee too so excited to have found some month twins 😀 😀
jelcat: date twins! Yay! 🙂
I am meeting with my parents at our prospective venue this afternoon!! 🙂 My Fiance and I went and checked out the grounds last Sunday (we couldn't go inside because they're only there M-F) but we loved what we saw and I hope the reception hall meets our expectations! We'll be booking it today if it does! Here's where the ceremony would take place:
Fingers crossed it works out, I would love for the venue to be booked so we can move on to other things!! 🙂
RedheadMeggs: oh yay! That looks so, so pretty. Will the water be your backdrop? Have you got much else organised? 🙂
jelcat: Yes we'll do the ceremony outside with the water as our backdrop and then the reception will be in the reception hall on the property. We have chosed the rental company to use to set up chairs/banquet tables and such, our tables will look like this:
Oooh! This is me too!! 7th March 2015! I'm really excited, which means that the time is dragging, especially as we've booked all the time dependant stuff e.g. venue, photographer etc but can't do anything else for a while! Colour scheme depends on BMs dress (going for blue but not sure of the shade) and her dress will depend on what I get (venue could cope with anyting from casual to pretty posh and want hers to be a similar level) and I can't go shopping until July!
I *just* became a March 2015 bride — signed contract and mailed off today. And am now FREAKING OUT over any/everything I need to do next. We are booked for a venue that is all-in-one, so food/bar/tables/linens/cake and are also having our ceremony there. They also have an arrangement with a specific florist and lighting co we ahve to use (but they are good, so I am a-ok with that)
I am thinking I need to do photographer and dj/band next….am also worried about when I have to go dress shopping. That's the one that scares me the most!
Miss.Pretzel: all inclusive venue sounds so dang amazing!! thats really nice you only have to worry about paying 1 place for all of those things! I would definitely get on that dress shopping. Sometimes it takes months for a bridal dress to come in- start shopping like yesterday lol Bands & DJs start booking up at the 6 month mark, so if you find one you really like, get on that asap before someone else gets them. Photographer book asap. the good ones always go quick.
The topic '10 Months and Counting, March 2015 Brides!' is closed to new replies.

USA – Tired of paying a hefty cable bill every month? Are you one of those who feel that they do not even watch as many channels as they pay for? If yes, then HDTV Antennas from AntennaDeals.com is the best bet for all such users.
There are different options available to the viewers, it, outdoor or indoor antennas. In locations where wind and rain are very frequent, indoor antennas work best. Once installed, viewers can enjoy between 30-40 channels for free, that too in HD quality.
The most popular indoor antenna is what is known to be the paper thin antenna, the LAVA HD400 Amplified Square Leaf Digital Indoor HDTV Antenna. This has a range of 35-50 miles, and is claimed to be "thinner than a penny, as powerful as an outdoor". It can also be installed in a place where it is not noticeable, like under a kitchen cabinet, on a wall or even behind a flat panel TV.
Another indoor antenna is the LAVA HD801 Digital Indoor HDTV Antenna. This is best in class for its range, which is up to 75 miles. It arrives fully assembled and has a built in amplifier included. This has a unique 360 degree swivel and can be pointed at any direction. This is proved by a testimonial by Lucy from Florida, "I just wanted to let you know how impressed I am with this Omni antenna. I live way out in the country and our only other option was satellite which was intermittent at best. This antenna picks up more channels than I dreamed it could, we receive signal from Orlando which is about 100 miles from us. Thanks for such a great item at the cost of one month of satellite…….review KUDOS"

Pee-wee Herman heads back to stage
EmptyPaul Reubens is bringing back his live stage show, "The Pee-wee Herman Show," which first played the Groundlings Theatre in 1981. The new edition, featuring such characters as Reuben's Pee-wee, Miss Yvonne and Jambi the Genie, is scheduled for 17 performances at the Music Box@Fonda Theater in Hollywood beginning Nov. 8.
"It's time," Reubens said. "My Pee-wee suit and red bow tie are at the ready -- and this is proof that white shoes are cool past Labor Day."
Many of the show's original artists, both on stage and behind the scenes, will be involved in the reimagined production, which is being produced by Jared Geller and David J. Foster.
After its debut at the Groundlings, the original show moved to the Roxy Theatre on Sunset Strip for five sold-out months and was taped as part of HBO's "On Location" series.
In 1985, Warner Bros. brought Pee-wee to the big screen with "Pee-wee's Big Adventure," Tim Burton's feature film debut, co-written by Reubens and featuring Danny Elfman's first original film score.
The CBS television series "Pee-wee's Playhouse" premiered in 1986 and ran for five season.
Tickets go on sale Tuesday at 8 a.m. at all Ticketmaster outlets, Ticketmaster.com and by phone at (800) 745-3000.
