This was simply beautiful!
And it makes me want even more, the closesness that people have with spouses..........with the simple things like watching a hubby dance with your daughter....
but I'm still young, and have plenty of time to find HIM.... :D thanks for this!
All above are completelly right,beautiful,interesting.Respect ,trust are main base for successful marriage.Great hub.
Great Hub!
I always thought the whole "there's a perfect person for you" thing was a bunch of crap. Until I found her. :)
You can do ALL of that without being married. I do all that and I live with my partner, but we are not married. I was looking for a good reason to marry him, because we already live together and do all the things married couples do, so this didn't help me at all.
Very interesting. Surely this is something that everyone should read!
Well, it IS a lovely Hub, and I'm glad you found happiness, but...
Would you mind if a write a Hub in the opposite direction? Having some frustration and some writer's block, and maybe it's just the topic to get it all to go away.
I'm just so pleased to see someone promoting the idea of marriage. Well done. I'm really fed up with all the others (full time losers, I call them)
Love numbers 69 and 71! It is wonderful to have a friend who is there no matter what.
Good list. There are so many benefits to being married. You have inspired me to make one of my own!
Hi Leah Wingert!
Very interesting experiences you had during your marriage. Marriage has many benefits.
The biggest & only benefit of marriage is free sex on demand if she has no headache. Here are some funny quotes...to make your day.
~By all means marry; if you get a good wife, you'll be happy. If you get a bad one, you'll become a philosopher. ~funny Socrates
~Marriage is give and take. You'd better give it to her or she'll take it anyway. ~funny Joey Adams
~A man doesn't know what hapiness is until he's married. By then it's too late. ~Frank Sinatra
indeed, it is very nice to get married and have someone to spend the rest of your days with.
great hub!! I'm impressed... very-very interesting!
It is a true labor of love.
I can't wait to find all this in another. I thought I'd be married by now, but I'm not worried. I will have my someone to share life's little moments with and when I do, I am going to post this list where he can see it often just to remind him how good he has it. :)
That's nice you have a loving marriage. Not everyone experiences all of those listed, but I'm a believer thanks for the input.

Melbourne: The surviving pilot of the Virgin Galactic spaceship that crashed last month unbuckled himself and was thrown free from the disintegrating craft, investigators said Wednesday.
Peter Siebold told them he did not know that his co-pilot had prematurely unlocked a key system on the spaceship, which broke up over California`s Mojave Desert on October 31.
The co-pilot, Michael Alsbury, died in the accident shortly after mistakenly unlocking a so-called "feathering" system designed to slow the aircraft during re-entry into the Earth`s atmosphere.
The SpaceShipTwo broke up a few seconds after being dropped from its mothership, the WhiteKnightTwo, which had carried it up to an altitude of about 45,000 feet (13,700 meters).
"According to the pilot, he was unaware that the feather system had been unlocked early by the co-pilot," the National Transportation Safety Board said in an update on its investigation.
The NTSB -- which interviewed the injured pilot last Friday -- added that "his description of the vehicle motion was consistent with other data sources in the investigation.
"He stated that he was extracted from the vehicle as a result of the break-up sequence and unbuckled from his seat at some point before the parachute deployed automatically."
There was a two-stage system to deploy the feathering system: first a lock-unlock lever has to be released, and then the system itself deployed.
The first step should not occur until the craft was above Mach 1.4, but investigators found it was unlocked too early, at a speed of above approximately Mach 1.0.
The accident was a serious blow to Virgin chief Richard Branson`s dream of taking wealthy passengers up to the edge of space as tourists, and is likely to delay the program significantly.
But last week a company spokeswoman said Virgin Galactic could resume test flights with a new spaceship within six months. The NTSB probe is expected to last up to a year or more.
"It`s possible that test flights for the next spaceship could begin within six months, before the investigation is expected to conclude," the Virgin spokeswoman told AFP.
New test flights would take place in a second SpaceShipTwo, which is 65 percent complete, the company said Tuesday.
Hundreds of VIPs, including Leonardo DiCaprio and Demi Moore, are said to have put down a $250,000 (200,000 euro) deposit on a space flight.
Virgin Galactic said there was a "small percentage requesting refunds... due to personal circumstances".
Branson, who rushed to the Mojave Desert within hours of the crash, has vowed to press on with his dream.
"While this has been a tragic setback, we are moving forward and will do so deliberately and with determination," his company said.
"We owe it to all of those who have risked and given so much to stay the course and deliver on the promise of creating the first commercial spaceline."
The crash was the second disaster to rock the private sector space industry in the same week.
An Antares rocket carrying supplies to the International Space Station exploded after takeoff in Virginia a few days previously.

|Facts & Trivia
|Eupedia Top > Eupedia Forum & Japan Forum
Who were the Belgae ? Traditionally considered to be Gaulish Celts, they may in fact be a confederation of tribes of various ethnic origins. It is likely that the tribes in the east of modern Belgium were of Germanic origin, while those in northern France were actual Celtic Gauls. The Menapii were mentioned as Thracians.
In the book The Genuine Remains of Ossian, by Patrick MacGregor, the author says (p 491) :
Tribal composition of Belgium at the time of Julius CaesarOriginally Posted by Patrick MacGregor
- Atrebates : in Artois and Hainaut. One group moved to England.
- Menapii : in the medieval County of Flanders (including French Flanders). The Luaighni tribe, who settled in County Meath, Leinster, Ireland, may be a branch of the Menapii.
- Nervii : in the medieval Duchy of Brabant (from the modern Walloon Brabant to North Brabant provinces) + part of the Hainaut province.
- Aduatuci / Tungri : in the Walloon section of the Meuse valley and the Hesbaye region.
- Eburones : in the modern provinces of Belgian and Dutch Limburg, the Hesbaye region, and North Rhineland between Aachen and Cologne. The site of their oppidum where Ambiorix sought refuge from Caesar's legions was probably in present-day Sinsin (near Marche-en-Famenne).
- Condrusi : in the Condroz and Fagnes region, on both sides of the Ourthe, south of the Meuse, and northern section of the Ardennes.
- Paemani : in the Famenne region, around the Lesse river.
- Treveri : around the modern province and Grand-Duchy of Luxembourg, in the Semois and Moselle region.
- Caeresi (or Caerosi) : near Luxembourg, possibly in the Eifel region around Prüm. Oppidum in Orchimont (Vresse-sur-Semois) near the Franco-Belgian border.
- Ubii : western Luxembourg
The Aduatuci
The Aduatuci (ot Atuatuci) were also refered to as Tungri (or Tongri). Their main cities were modern Namur (Oppidum Aduatucorum) and Tongeren (Aduatuca Tungorum).
Various sources mention that the Aduatuci were a branch of the Cimbri or of the Ambrones. The Cimbri originated from the Cimbric peninsula in Jutland, Denmark. Thought to be of Germanic descent, the Cimbri were clearly influence by the Celtic culture from the 3rd century BCE. In 113 BCE, they joined their neighbours the Ambrones* and the Teutoni*, and moved south to Gaul in search for empty lands, then split each in a different direction. The Cimbri had been travelling around Spain for two years, when in 103 BCE, they moved back to Gaul, and reunited with the Ambrones and Teutoni. They left warriors behind in the Meuse valley (Belgic Gaul), who became the Aduatuci.
* The Ambrones came from the region of the River Ambra (Emmer), a tributary of the Weser in northern Germany. The Teutoni's homeland was in between that of the Cimbri and Ambrones, in southern Jutland and northern Germany, between the Elbe and Oder rivers. They were described as Nordic people, with light skin, blond hair and blue eyes. Their language acquired a lot of Celtic words thanks to their active role in the amber trade between the Baltic and the Celtic homeland in the Alps.
The Eburones
Allies of the Aduatuci, the Eburones are said to descend from the Sicambri (or Sugambri), who had settled in the Rhine-Rhur region in the 1st century BCE. Their homeland is also associated with the south-eastern part of the modern Netherlands (Overijssel, Gelderland, Limburg). The Sicambri are also said to be the ancestors of the Franks, who resettled the Eburones territory from the 3rd century CE.
The Nervii
The Greek historian and geographer Strabo (64 BCE-24 CE) and the Roman senator and historian Tacitus (56–117) both describe the Nervians as a Germanic tribe. Tacitius had probably met the Nervians in person as his father was procurator of Belgica and Germania. In his book "Germania" (par. 28 and 29) Tacitus writes about the Nervii : "they say that this noble blood separates them completely from the Gauls, and from the Gaul laziness".
According to the Greco-Roman historian Appian, the Nervii were descended from the Cimbri, like the Aduatuci.
Their territory spread from the region of Cambrai in northern France to the Dutch province of North Brabant, encompassing most of the Belgian provinces of Hainaut, Walloon and Flelmish Brabant, and Antwerp. It could have spread as far as Nijmegen in Gelderland.
Their cities included modern Cambrai (Camaracum), Bavay (Bagacum, their capital), Tournai (Turnacum), Kortrijk (Cortoriacum), Famars (Geminiacum), Liberchies (Fanum Martis).

May Day. All with Fidel on the Square of the Revolution, CTC, 1964
Even as revolutions have lost the appeal they used to have in the 1960's, one can still say that the Cuban Revolution was extremely popular all over the world. In fact, one can compare the Revolution to Pop art. They are both mass-driven movements. The new communist ideology considered advertising a sort of "Capitalist tool" for commercialization, a perverse form of Capitalist "brainwashing."
This apparent dislocation between advertising –adapting to the new times– and propaganda needs to be discussed further, and we don't have time to go into it right now. Suffice to say that they sometimes overlap. But in Cuba in the early 1960's propaganda was yet to find a true voice. But let's go back a little. In 1959 the ICAIC: The Cuban Institute for Cinematographic Art and Industry and La Casa de las Américas (House of the Americas were founded).
By 1961 the Government eliminated ads in radio, television and the press. Aesthetic prejudices and strong debates also occurred, but design succeeded in general in imposing its freedom of expression and the creators were respected. The Revolution brought a profound transformation of Cuban society. Social communication was deeply affected by these changes and graphic design becomes the ideal medium for propaganda.Since the mid '60s, the ICAIC posters had the same format (52 x 76 cm) and technique (serigraphy) plus a group of prolific creators (Bachs, Azcuy, Ñiko and Reboiro being the leading ones), which contributed to make them a consistent group of promotional graphics that remained in existence for several decades.
Casa de las Américas, in turn, created in 1960 the journal of the same name, in which Umberto Peña worked with great creativeness from 1965 until the late 1980s.
Umberto Peña, Piiii, 1968.
Umberto Peña maintained his links with Casa for more than twenty years, in a creator-entity relationship that may be considered one of the most fruitful in the history of Cuban design, perhaps only to be compared with that of Eduardo Muñoz Bachs and his posters with ICAIC. With the large number of media designed by him, Peña contributed to Casa de las Américas what today we would call a corporative visual identity.
E. Muñoz Bachs, Mobile cinema, 1969
R. Martínez, Lucia, 1968
Oliva, Sao Paulo sociedad anónima, ICAIC, 1966
Bachs? Cerro pelado, ICAIC, 1966
Antonio Reboiro, Julieta de los espíritus, ICAIC, 1967
At its highest point the printing industry reached annual figures of 700 titles and 50 million copies, in a country with a population of around 7 million. The number of newspapers had decreased but the magazines proliferated and the new publishing houses created a varied range of book collections. The poster production shot up tremendously, with the largest part in terms of figures concentrated in three entities: ICAIC, COR and CNC, that is, film, political propaganda and cultural promotion posters (excluding movies).
These political posters presented the idea in novel forms. Either assimilating autoctonous forms as in the anonymous poster below:
International week of solidarity with Africa, 1968, OSPAAL
Felix Beltrán, Freedom for Angela Davis, 1971
Or as in this vulture-like Nixon, with an obvious influence of Jan Lenika:
René Mederos, Nixon, OSPAAAL, 1971
By way of example it can be said that when ICAIC celebrated its 20th anniversary in 1979, an exhibition was organized with the impressive title 1000 Cuban Film Posters (oddly, the most represented years were the final ones of the 65-75 decade: 1974 with 171 pieces and 1975 with 125; as to the authors, 284 posters by Eduardo Muñoz Bachs were selected). In lack of advertising, there was an increase of public welfare campaigns in which new media such as city billboards and portfolios remarkably grew in importance.
Although for many years Cuba was an isolated country and the change that took place in these years had endogenous foundations, external influences should not be ignored. In 1964 Tadeusz Jodlowski, professor at the Higher Academy of Fine Arts of Warsaw traveled to Cuba to give a course to the CNC designers. This first direct meeting with the Polish school of design –so different from the U.S. aesthetic codes in vogue in Cuba since the '50s– was useful for the young local creators.
What are the influences of the Cuban poster?

Orix Buffaloes: Alex Cabrera gives Aarom Baldiris some advice
by Gen on Feb.02, 2010 @ 10:26 am, under NPB, Spring Camp
=== 2/3/2010 1:17am JST
...Alex Cabrera apparently took 67 swings and hit 22 over the fence during BP.
=== 9:22pm JST
...Seems So Taguchi is doing a good job at keeping the atmosphere at Spring camp loose and light. Taguchi told reporters that he wants to have a smile on his face whenever he plays baseball because it's something he enjoys so much.
...Alex Cabrera took BP using a 1kg training bat on Tuesday and still managed to hit a number of balls over the fence. Akinobu Okada was impressed with the show of power and is now likely thinking about using him in the 4 hole.
=== 3:37pm JST
...Hirotoshi Kitagawa ran into the locker room after warm-ups on Tuesday to change into his uniform. When he noticed no one else changing, he grabbed his uniform and ran out onto the field. To his dismay, his teammates started clapping their hands and laughing. Kitagawa had forgotten that they weren't going to change until after they did some base-running.
...12 out of the 17 pitchers that held bullpen session on Monday tossed 90 or more pitches. Hiroshi Kisanuki led all pitchers by throwing 110 pitches. And it seems Masaki Ihara (threw 96 pitches) impressed Akinobu Okada the most. Okada also felt he had to leave when the group of Kisanuki, Chihiro Kaneko, Shogo Yamamoto, and Kazuki Kondo were pitching because it seemed as though they were all trying to impress Okada by throwing a lot. All fourpitchers ended up throwing more than 100 pitches.

...So Taguchi was reminded on Monday just how much teams in Japan practice. But he told reporters that he would be ok as he worked throw the same training menu as the rest of the team. Taguchi was also seen giving advice to some of the younger players.
...Sponichi is praising Alex Cabrera for arriving to Spring camp on time. They also took note of Cabrera visiting Aarom Baldiris at the Ichi-gun camp (after he finished his own training) to give him pointers on hitting and weight training.

Officials honored a Good Samaritan and a Metro Transit Police Department officer who helped a Metro rider who collapsed on the platform of a Virginia station.
On his way to work at the Pentagon Jan. 31, Chris Metsala, a 46-year-old husband and father of two, collapsed on the Braddock Road Metro platform.
"And with no warning, and no signs, he collapsed and doesn't remember a thing," his sister-in-law Stacey Hudson Padova.
Debra Anderson, who also was headed to the Pentagon, happened to be on an incoming train.
"I heard somebody ask, 'Is he OK?' And so I looked out the windows and I saw the gentleman lying face down," she said.
When the doors opened, Anderson acted.
"I just felt a compulsion to get off of the train and go help him," she said.
She joined Metro Transit Police Officer Dill and other riders in using CPR training. Metro workers then rushed in with a defibrillator.
"You don't really think about it, you just start doing what you're trained to do," Braddock Road Station Manager Larry Adams said.
Within a few minutes, the Alexandria Fire Department took over.
"There are no words adequate enough to express our gratitude," Hudson Padova said. "How do you thank angels?"
Some may call the near-perfect timing and orchestrated teamwork a lucky coincidence, but Debra sees it differently.
"I don't care by what name you want to call God, but it was God, of course," she said.
It wasn't Anderson's usual commute, and she doesn't take Metro often.
"But on that day, I was running late to work, and it was just fate," she said.
The Alexandria community recognized Anderson and Dill for the heroic actions.
"I'm not a hero," Anderson said. "I'm just someone who was there at the right time."
"A man is alive today thanks to the quick response of several individuals - including Officer Dill, bystander Debra Anderson, and the Alexandria Fire and EMS responders - who all played a critical role in this successful outcome," Metro General Manager Paul Wiedefeld said.

Health Care at Camp
Camp North Star's Health Center is in the center of camp and has a warm and inviting feel for all of our campers. Our medical staff is on site and available 24 hours a day. Our registered nurses manage all the campers' medical needs of our campers. The health center includes an examination room, male and female dorm rooms, and living quarters for all of our medical staff. The health center is air conditioned for the comfort of our campers.
Parents are notified by a member of the medical staff if their child has been in the health center overnight, their child has been placed on prescription medicine, or their child has been taken to an out-of-camp doctor, emergency room or hospital. You can rest assured that our nurses will keep you informed regarding the health of your child.
Camp North Star's medical staff is supported by the camp's pediatrician who is on-call and available throughout the entire camp season. Our doctor's full medical office is less than 2 miles from camp. Central Maine Medical Hospital is just a short 12 mile drive in neighboring Lewiston.
Can my child have medication at camp?
Yes. All medication (other than emergency medications; epi-pen and inhalers) are required by state law to be stored in the Health Center at all times. We keep all medications under lock and key until it is dispensed to the camper.
My child takes a controlled substance, is that ok?
Yes. Our medical staff is trained on the proper handling and care of such medications as outlined in Federal and State law.
How will I know that my child is taking their medications?
All doses, times and medications are meticulously tracked by our medical staff to ensure exactness and proper dosage at all times.
How will I know if my child gets injured?
For any and all Health Center visits requiring more than a band-aid or a sip of water our medical staff immediately calls home to ensure proper communication between medical staff, parents and children. This ensures the best course of action as well as peace of mind for each child knowing that their parents are also involved.
What if my child goes to the hospital, how will I know and what should I do?
Our medical staff come from medical backgrounds in nursing at all levels and are trained to take every precaution when seeing children. We will transport and advocate for your child every step of the way and include you in every step of medical treatment. In the event of an emergency we have standing protocols that jump into action to ensure the utmost safety and well being of those involved.

We are a group of individuals who realised that rather than just donating to the relief efforts of the recent earthquakes in Nepal, we had the opportunity to start something that could create a bigger impact in raising awareness of the plight of the victims of this tragedy.
This spurred our collaboration with various local musicians in a collective feat to try and provide a little support for the relief efforts.

For the study, 152 men and women received either an oral dose of minocycline or placebo for five days following stroke. People who received minocycline were treated an average of 13 hours after stroke compared to 12 hours for the placebo group. Researchers followed both groups for three months.
The study found people treated with minocycline had significantly better outcomes than those treated with placebo. After three months, the minocycline group performed four times better than the placebo group on the National Institutes of Health Stroke Scale, which measures vision, facial palsy, movement, and speaking ability. The minocycline group received a score of 1.6, which indicates little or no disability, compared to a score of 6.5 for the placebo group, which indicates a high end of mild disability.
"The improvement was already apparent within a week of the stroke," said study author Yair Lampl, MD, with Edith Wolfson Medical Center and Tel Aviv University in Israel. "This is exciting because many people who have had stroke cannot be treated if they don´t get to the hospital within three hours after symptoms start, which is the time frame for current available treatments."
"While these are promising results, a much larger, closed-label, study is needed to confirm our findings," Lampl added. He says the improvement shown by patients taking minocycline is not due to the drug´s basic antibiotic effect, but rather its anti-inflammatory effect and ability to protect brain cells from destruction. According to Lampl none of the participants experienced any serious side effects from the drug.

ParkZone Stinson Reliant SR-10 1.3m Plug-N-Play Electric Airplane
|Low Price:
|Low Price:
The exceptional scale outline and intricate details ParkZone developers have designed into the Stinson SR-10 Reliant 1.3m are every bit as good as anything you might build yourself. Molded wing ribbing, a simulated radial engine, accurately modeled struts, cowl blisters and wheel pants are just the highlights of the scale detail included.
First introduced in 1938, the Stinson SR-10 is as much a work of art as a work of engineering. The combination of its graceful lines and unique wing shape give you the sense it's reaching for the sky even when it's parked on the ramp. ParkZone developers have expertly modeled this aviation classic to give you a civilian scale experience unlike anything else. It comes out of the box loaded with scale details like an authentic paint scheme and markings, molded ribbing in the wings, a simulated radial engine, accurately modeled landing gear and much more. A robust brushless motor system provides plenty of power for everything from half-throttle cruising to full-throttle sport aerobatics. You also have the option of adding flaps. And it will do it all with the same smooth sport flying manners you've come to expect from a ParkZone plane.
Scale Detail
The exceptional scale outline and intricate are every bit as good as anything you might build for yourself. Molded ribbing in the wing, a simulated radial engine, accurately modeled struts, cowl and wheel pants—you get it all along with the super smooth flying manners you have come to expect from a ParkZone plane.
Brushless Outrunner Power System
This high-output 480-Size brushless outrunner motor delivers plenty of speed and vertical performance for exploring a wide range of sport maneuvers. An E-flite 30-amp ESC with a switch-mode BEC cleanly channels power from the battery to the motor.
Durable Construction
The Stinson SR-10 Reliant is constructed of tough Z-Foam material. This contributes to the model's light wing loading and superb slow speed flying characteristics. The aluminum landing gear and large wheels are designed to handle all kinds of abuse.
Plug-N-Play Finish
The Plug-N-Play completion level means that the ideal motor system and servos you need to enjoy the full potential of the Stinson SR-10 are already installed. All you have to do is perform the final glue-free assembly, and connect your favorite full-range, 4+ channel radio system. In fact, most pilots can have this model flight-ready in the time it takes to install a receiver and charge a battery.

It's all so bright, vivid, quirky and energetic. These spots are bursting with life and cinematographic interest, with each frame a discrete study in (mostly primary) color and composition. And still the syncopated whole is greater than the sum of its parts. In fact, if you listen real hard, you'll even find the strategy.
Just for the thrill of it.
Just for the chill of it.
Just for the taste of it.
Just for the feel of it.
The pure appeal of it.
This is the place for it.
Di-i-et Coke.
This is the best of it, forget the rest of it.
Just for the taste of it. Diet Coke.
Got it? A taste-driven brand message, aimed younger than the brand has aimed before. But here's a conundrum: if a brand message falls in a jingle, and nobody is paying enough attention to register it, does it make a noise?
There's no faulting the Coca-Cola Co.-or, as we've come to think of it, "The Coca-Cola Co. Starring Sergio Zyman"-for skewing its Diet Coke message down in age. But where is it written that speaking to the MTV generation demands pictograms? While the use of rapid-cutting and funky camera tricks, lighting and editing is reasonable enough as far as it goes, who says that's as far as you dare go?
When did "under-30" become synonymous with "non-verbal"? If you're trying to speak to people ages 18 to 29, where is the harm in actually speaking?
Not singing. Speaking.
As it is, the most compelling single moment of the jingle is an odd little laugh-not quite a chuckle, more like a guttural "hyuk"-just before the last mention of Diet Coke. Yet, if we are to take his public statements at face value, Zyman expects viewers to get past the hyuk and somehow miraculously divine the brand's universality, authenticity, personality, Cokeness, non-Cokeness and special place in everyday life. How much easier a time we'd have if the ads would state those propositions outright. While Lowe has turned out a handsome and buoyant campaign, we continue to await soft-drink advertising that isn't afraid to make its case. Instead of hoping an entire generation of soft-drink consumers will agonize over every jinglified second as if it were the Rosetta Stone, the marketer might have considered actually talking-i.e., not lyricizing-about taste. Copy. Persuasion. Ideas. Selling.
As opposed to wrapping paper.
Volkswagen, for instance, is looking more or less at the same marketplace with no reticence whatsoever about articulating, repeatedly and verbally articulating, the VW driving experience. The Janus mutual funds are on the air right now with a campaign no less hip, youthful and visually arresting than Diet Coke's, yet one that talks, talks, talks about investment strategy.
Compared to cars and investments, soft drinks may not suggest much to say. But because nobody ever bothers-outside of jingle lyrics and jargon-filled press handouts-to verbalize the characteristics and benefits of Diet Coke, everything that can be said remains to be said.
Someday, somebody ought to give that a try.
Hyuk, just for the hell of it.

Work With Me
work with me
for non profits, businesses and environmental organizations
connection, community + giving
For me, giving is a foundation of the work that I do. I choose to work with non profits in a way that some artists might partner with a gallery.
I am constantly seeking meaningful cause based partnerships that enable us to spark individual action and raise funds together, by sharing relevant wilderness stories through an artist's lens.
Sometimes this is as simple as an Instagram collaboration, made for our communities. Sometimes it's a slower, more intentional kinda thing where we design a contract to meet our goals.
Every year I make space for a small number of custom painting commissions from businesses and organizations. Together we explore your mission and impact relating to wilderness. Then I design a series of watercolours inspired by the work you do. You receive the framed original paintings and a series of limited edition prints, however many you like. Each painting and print is gift wrapped and includes a card. Local installation is complimentary within the greater Vancouver region.
These packages begin at $1200 and range to $25,000.
Pricing depends on the number of paintings in the collection and the number of prints required.

It took me exactly three weeks from cast on to blocking to finish my Viking Ship sweater:
|Dragon Ships approach the shore
|Hedgehog mitten in progress.
It's maybe 1/2 done after 2 full days of knitting
For your amusement, I'll also relate a little Adele story. After dinner she went downstairs to where Feivel was watching TV. She came back up and asked, "Am I allowed to watch 'Amy'?" I asked what show? She repeated, "Amy." She went and checked with Feivel and repeated, "Amy." I sent her back downstairs with instructions to tell her brother whatever he was watching was probably not a show for her and they should find something they could both watch. And he yelled back upstairs, "Mom, Adele isn't allowed to watch the musical, 'Annie?'" Funnier yet, a minute later she comes back upstairs and asks, "Mommy, during commercials, am I allowed to watch, 'Rodgers and Hammerstein's Cinderella?'" That she got perfectly, but "Annie" she couldn't pronounce.
And finally, a big announcement came out in the spinning world today, so just in case you haven't heard, there's a new spinning magazine in town (well, there will be), Ply!

We have all heard of fake Gucci Bags. But have you heard of fake surgery? Unfortunately, this happens in Nigeria sometimes. Patients will come in with right lower quadrant pain, for example-having had an appendectomy. We explore the patient and find an appendix with no scarring and no evidence of past surgery except a scar on the skin.
Today I saw a woman who apparently had a incomplete abortion. She went to a local doctor and had an ultrasound that showed retained products of conception. A D&C was performed but she kept bleeding and came to us. I performed a repeat D&C and found a uterus full of retained products. Clearly, no D&C had been performed. She got a sham operation but not a sham bill!

|Degas, Edgar, Danseuse ajustant sa bretelle, négatif 1895-1896.
in silence you danced
to the rhythm your heart whispered
flying somewhere through the stratosphere
the only thing to remember
is to breathe, breathe the eternal grace
lost in the soft movement between the burning
of a brand new day and fragile remains of the daylight
listening to the questions of a wanderer
you flow like a moon's reflection
forever playful and sparkling
there you were found, in that short part of freedom
remembering a song of a caged bird
it seemed to you, the mountain knew your very existence
as if you arrived out of its' hardships and fertile seasons
it lures you in, like it's your safe net
then you find things you deemed so important
somehow lost their value
independently your fingers follow
a ripple started somewhere in the night
and in the morning you wish
to have no regrets
Written as a poetry prompt The Mag #193. Took me awhile. As I saw the photograph my mind went to the song "If I be wrong" by Wolf Larsen. It's such a beautiful song.

Changing disk to LS PRO DUO
So, you need to change LS PRO DUO hard disk. I've broken one of my hard disks (raid array) and it didn't get fixed by Pro Duos tools. This is path I used to change harddisk
Open Pro Duo
This phase doesn't have any magic, if you know how to use screwdriver, then you can do it.
- Unplug you Pro Duo
- Open two screws from bottom of front panel "feets" (pic 1)
- Pull front panel from bottom to remove it
Get disk out
Same as before, it ain't rocket science
- Unplug cables from disk
- Open screw from disk swap (pic2)
- Pull disk out. You may also need to pull it bit up same time.
Get disk out of swap
- Just open two screws from swap and
- change swap to new hard disk
To install disk, just go backwards with this "tutorial" :)
After disk replacement it needed to be rearranged, etc... this took about three hours. After that raid array was OK and all data was where it should be.
When I removed other disk, I started Pro Duo before installing new disk. Not sure if this is needed, but at least Pro Duo then realize that one of disks were missing. My old disk was Hitachi and new is Samsung. "New" disk have been used in Windows machine. I just removed partition information from "new" disk, before installed it to Pro Duo.

by Rebecca Morris, Research fellow in General Practice theme
What is patient safety in primary care? What does it mean in General Practice? Why do research about it? As part of the GP theme's patient and public engagement activities, we have created an animation to help widen the conversation about the work that we are doing and why it is important to all of us as patients, clinicians and/or researchers. We worked with public involvement contributors and GPs to develop the animation script, examples of possible patient safety issues and the images to show this. My life of a researcher got even more varied when I had a trip to a recording studio to record the voice over!
The animation shows what patient safety in general practice means as a patient, clinician and organisation. We have a range of research projects looking at patient safety issues at these different levels. For instance, we are developing a guide for patients and carers to answer some of the key questions that people have about what they can do as active partners in patient safety in their interaction and communication across primary care. We are looking at Missed Diagnostic Opportunities (i.e. whether a diagnosis was correct or made in a timely manner) to understand how often they occur in general practice and what may influence this. We are also developing training for GPs in how to manage uncertainty in diagnosis and we are asking you what are your priorities for primary care patient safety research through our James Lind Alliance Priority Setting Partnership. There are lots of ways to get involved and help shape future research of primary care patient safety.
Watch the animation on our YouTube channel or via our General Practice research theme page.

Support for Urinary Tract Issues (UTI)https://naturaloilmom.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/09/Cranberry-drink-Stevia.jpg 495 640 Jenni Jenni https://secure.gravatar.com/avatar/a5b41ac8bffbdcfb8493f1bc1c25fec6?s=96&d=mm&r=g
I ate a bunch of sugar over Thanksgiving weekend, which led to symptoms of a urinary tract issue (UTI). Who can resist all the tempting pies and other treats within easy reach over these holidays? I can't. Especially when I'm 7 1/2 months pregnant.
I've been feeling fine, but a couple days after I got home from our trip I found myself with very low energy. I should have been tipped off by my feelings of not caring about anything and just wanting to go back to bed.
I didn't have the normal symptoms of burning when I went to the bathroom or the frequent need to go, but I know I am more prone to yeast and urinary tract discomfort when I'm pregnant. Luckily, I had an appointment with my midwife, Vickie Sorensen the same day I lost my energy.
I did the typical urine test at her office, and it came up high in luekocytes, which indicates nitrites, which indicates an issue in the urinary tract, and a little blood, which also points to a UTI. The problem was starting to rage and I hardly knew I had it.
Vickie once had a lady who was in labor with a UTI and couldn't push the baby out because her bladder kept having spasms. So Vickie said I needed to have the problem resolved within a week or she'd want me to get some medication (which I strongly want to avoid).
I think the reason the discomfort wasn't manifesting itself more strongly is because I had been drinking water with lemon oil in it every day. I'm sure this helped keep the problem at bay. But I wasn't drinking enough in general. The lemon just wasn't enough to combat all the sugar with the low amount of fluids I consumed while traveling.
I also really liked her suggestion of making a cranberry/apple drink by blending up actual fresh cranberries, which are in season now, with apple juice. I threw in a little yogurt and stevia, and I'm making a drink everyday. It's delicious! Cranberry juice prevents bacteria from adhering to the wall of the urinary tract, so it's good to drink the juice or take CranActin capsules if you feel something coming on.
I took 2 doses of the herbal formulas with some extra echinacea the first day, and by the next morning I had my energy back! I was very happy about that. After that I felt fine and tried to drink lots of lemon water along with my herbs and 1 capsule of immune essential oils for good measure. I also avoided white sugar.*
Cranberry Apple Drink
Just blend up these ingredients well in a blender.
1/2 cup apple juice
1/2 cup fresh or frozen cranberries
1/2 cup yogurt (optional)
2 mini spoons pure stevia extract (opt)
1/2 cup ice (optional)
1/2 cup spinach, chard or kale for extra nutrition (optional)
Tools for Urinary Tract Support
Herbal immune capsules (I recommend Vickie's or Dr. Christopher's) 2 caps, 3 times a day, 5 drops immune essential oil blend in an empty capsule, 3 times a day, and 1-2 cloves raw garlic per day
1. Herbal kidney capsules (again, I use Vickie's & Dr. Christopher's) 2 caps, 3 times a day
2. CranActin capsules, 1 cap, 2 times a day, or a cranberry drink daily
3. Myrrh essential oil rubbed on lower abdomen, 2 times a day (optional)
4. For pain, Thayer's Slippery Elm lozenges, 1 lozenge, 3 times a day
5. Avoiding junk and white sugar is a must! Eat more raw, whole foods
Make sure there's no back up in the digestive system, and that waste is flowing out freely. Take colon herbs or peppermint essential oil in a capsule if needed. The body needs to be free to eliminate all the toxic materials it possibly can.
The tools for helping ourselves do exist and they work. If we just learn about them and try them, their function will become second nature to us. It's empowering to know the proper ways to care for and support our bodies!
*Update – 12/17/10 – After continuing to have leukocytes on my next appointment, I had to beef up my protocol, and I learned a few things I want to share with you. Vickie suggested I cut back on the kidney herbs because they are diuretic and my lips and hands were drying out a bit. I went to 1 capsule 2-3 times a day, and kept taking the other herbs 2-3 times a day. I started taking 1 raw clove of garlic per day, pressed into butter on toast, soup or blended in veggie juice. I also added 2 drops each of basil and oregano essential oils in capsule with the 5 drops of immune oils twice a day. I rubbed these oils on my lower abdomen (diluted in 1/2 tsp carrier oil) and bottoms of feet every night too.
As long as I focused on getting enough immune support along with the kidney specific herbs, my leukocytes went down. The bottom line is, you have to get as aggressive as whatever it is you're up against. I really didn't want to take the traditional route because I tend to have yeast problems and my babies usually get thrush when newborn at some point. So I had to get more aggressive with my natural tools until I got the upper hand.
So when I am using natural remedies and they don't seem to be working:
– I make sure they are high quality or fresh
– I use or take them more frequently (unlike drugs, it's hard to overdose on the remedies I use)
– I increase the quantities slightly or add stronger therapies
– I make sure I'm supporting my body with lots of water, good nutrition supplements and light, healthy eating.

Take a breath, Jay Cutler.
The QB has become frustrated by the demands that fans have been making on him via his Facebook page. He has recently left several status update asking fans to be patient because he can't handle all of their requests, and that he can't even OK any more friends because he has too many.
With Twitter and Facebook, football players are now more accessible to players than they've ever been. Fans have so many ways to connect with players, but that means fans have more ways to make demands on their favorite players. Come to my party! Support my charity! Send me an autograph! It's not that the fans intentions aren't good, but there is only so much that one man can do when he's also trying to prepare for a football season as well as run a charity and plan a wedding.
That's why Cutler needs to learn how to manage his brand better, and hire someone to deal with all his requests. A good publicist or marketing manager would have told Cutler to keep his Facebook page private and for friends and family only, while starting a fan page for his many fans to use. They also would have discussed how to better use Twitter to get out messages about his health back in January, when he was being questioned for his toughness. They could also take the burden of answering fan requests off of Cutler, and kept him focused on playing football.
So, Jay, take a deep breath and then hire someone to help.

Hi ladies! Tonight is bittersweet because this is the last night I have with all my family together. My sister is going back to college tomorrow. Her and my mom are driving from Tennessee to Utah this week! Wish them luck! :P
The mani I am showing you today is LA Splash Pink Sand. This was a color that I unexpectedly really liked. If you have been following me for a while you know I don't go for toned down shades very often! This is a gorgeous ballerina pink with shimmer.
The formula was a tad thick, but with patience it all evens out ok. This is 2 coats.
Next, I added a gradient using the Glitter Gradient Set from Born Pretty Store to my ring finger. I was very tempted to leave it this way because I LOVE how the glitter looks with Pink Sand!
But alas, I just can't help myself! :) So here is Konad plate M57 stamped with Sally Hansen Color Quick pen in Fuchsia Chrome added to the rest of the fingers:
I know I have been showing you lots of pink and girly mani's lately...hope ya'll don't mind! :)

The Biesbosch National Park
The Biesbosch National Park is an extensive freshwater tidal area that is within easy and fast reach of Dordrecht. These unique wetlands arose after a natural disaster. In 1421, the St. Elisabeth flood inundated the land around Dordrecht. Due to the influence of high and low tides, in the centuries that followed a rugged natural area arose, with osier and reed beds and meandering creeks. The Hollandse Biesbosch, on the island of Dordrecht, is part of the National Park.
Holland's jungle
In the Biesbosch you can sail, walk, ride a bike, picnic and discover nature. The Biesbosch centre Dordrecht is the starting point for sailing and walking excursions. Would you like to take to the water on your own? You can rent rowing boats, canoes and electric whisper boats. A solar-energy-powered ferry sails between the Biesbosch centre and the Griendmuseumpad, where you can go for a relaxing nature walk. Navigating through the creeks you can imagine yourself in an adventurous Holland jungle!

Driving and Child Passenger Safety
When driving with children, especially while going on long trips, it is important to take into account the safety of your passengers. Making sure that your car has seatbelts and airbags is not enough. Depending on your country and location, there are special local laws and legislation in place to ensure that child passengers traveling in cars enjoy the utmost safety on the road. With this in mind, here are some general car seat safety tips for children:A belt positioning booster seat should be used for children over 40 pounds.A car's regular seat belt should not be used on a child until they fit correctly. The minimum weight and height for a child to be able to use a seatbelt is about 80 pounds and 4 feet and 9 inches tall.
- There has been great progress achieved in recent years in preventing child occupant deaths and injuries, especially in increasing the correct use of child safety seats, booster seats and safety belts. However, more work needs to be done to protect child occupants who remain at heightened risk. There is no denying the costs involved, because child seats and other safety accessories for children do not come cheap. But it's an expense a growing number of people are willing to bear. Every part of a car is replaceable unlike the people inside
- so keeping the kids safe and secure is invariably a price well worth paying.

The two men, with their wives Michelle and Jill, flew into Springifeld, Illinois, where Mr Obama began his campaign 19 months ago.
The Democratic candidate ended a week of speculation about the identity of his prospective vice-president in a text message to supporters yesterday morning as the news began to leak out.
He opted to plug gaps in his own political CV by selecting a 30-year veteran of Washington with a strong grounding in foreign policy.
Clad in shirtsleeves, Mr Obama praised his running mate as "one of the finest public servants of our time", and "a man with fundamental decency".
He added: "Joe Biden is what so many others pretend to be: a statesman with sound judgement who doesn't have to hide behind bluster to make his point.
"Joe Biden is that rare mix. For decades he has brought change to Washington, but Washington hasn't changed him. He won't just make a good vice-president, he will make a great vice-president. With Joe Biden at my side I am confident we can take this country in a new direction."
Mr Biden, a loquacious public speaker, immediately assumed the duties of campaign attack dog, a role that Mr Obama has been reluctant to take on himself.
Mr Obama's Republican rival, Senator John McCain, responded quickly to the announcement with a television advertisement drawing on comments made by Mr Biden during his own White House run, which ended in January. These included praise for Mr McCain and claims that Mr Obama was not ready for office because "presidency is not something that lends itself to on-the-job training".
Mr Biden told the crowd in Springfield that having watched Mr Obama over the last year, he was certain he was ready to become Commander-in-Chief,saying: "No-one knows better than I do, after the last 18 months, that Barack has met his challenges with judgement and wisdom and steel in his spine.
"I have watched as he has inspired millions of Americans to this new cause."
Then, in what is the most outspoken attack yet from the Obama camp, Mr Biden mocked the millionaire McCain for failing to remember how many homes he owns. Describing how ordinary Americans worry about rising prices, he said: "That's not something that John McCain has to worry about. He has to figure out which of the seven kitchen tables to sit at."
In another dig, he said: "I have been disappointed with my friend John McCain who gave in to the right-wing of his party and yielded to the swift boat politics he once so deplored.
"They need more than a tough soldier. They need a wise leader."
The Obama camp hopes that Mr Biden, who comes from blue collar stock, will help Mr Obama appeal to the white working class voters who supported Mrs Clinton during the primaries and, polls show, remain unconvinced by his candidacy.
A poll last week found that only half of Clinton supporters are backing Mr Obama and one in five will support Mr McCain. Mr Obama's lead over his Republican rival has shrunk to a couple of points.
Mrs Clinton issued a statement praising Mr Biden, a 65-year-old senator from Delaware and the chairman of the Senate foreign relations committee, as an "exceptionally strong, experienced leader and devoted public servant".
But Mr Obama's decision angered diehard supporters of Senator Hillary Clinton. They told The Sunday Telegraph that Senator Obama could expect gestures of disapproval at this week's Democratic convention in Denver.
Mrs Clinton's allies reacted furiously to revelations that Mr Obama had never seriously considered his former rival as running mate or had her background vetted, a courtesy often extended even to those not genuinely in with a chance.
When party chiefs hold a roll-call vote at the convention, Mrs Clinton will vote for Mr Obama and she will release the delegates she earned during the primary battle to do the same.
Clinton insiders say her allies are divided into two camps, the peacemakers and the militant PUMAs, which stands for Political Unity, My Aunt Fanny. James Carville and Paul Begala, the architects of Bill Clinton's 1992 victory, voiced grave concerns at the way Mrs Clinton was ignored as a prospective running mate.
Mr Begala said: "This story empowers the Puma crowd, because they see this, and I do too, as disrespecting Senator Clinton and breaking Senator Obama's words. They're still not behind Obama."
One Clinton supporter on the Democratic National Committee went even further, telling The Sunday Telegraph: "Our best chance of winning the election is if he [Mr Obama] falls under a bus before Wednesday. Then we can have Hillary. The polls show that we were right to support her."
Voicing pessimism about Mr Obama's ability to win the election, he added: "No one wants to talk about it but it's the race thing. Anyone looking for a reason not to vote for a black man now has plenty of reasons."
Have your say: Is Joe Biden the best choice for Barack Obama?

Jean Cherni: Sharing a vision for those who have lost theirs
I've rarely met an animal that didn't melt my heart, so when I learned that one of my favorite animal-based charities, located right here in Connecticut, was holding their annual open house this past Saturday, I drove up to the event at their Bloomfield headquarters.
The Fidelco Guide Dog Foundation, a unique and inspiring non-profit organization, breeds, trains and places their own "unique breed" of German shepherd guide dogs, at no charge, with men and women who are blind. Although their two facilities are in Connecticut — the other is in Wilton — they have also helped clients in 41 states and are an internationally recognized leader in the industry.
After meeting with Eliot Russman, their informative and dedicated president and chief executive, I toured Fidelco's impressive, sprawling campus along with an interested crowd of visitors.
Their campus is located in a rolling countryside featuring the headquarters of several firms. One of the first and most remarkable things you notice when you enter the compound is the extreme cleanliness and, remarkably, a lack of any "doggie" smells.
The kennels are bright, airy and spotless. The dogs are kept clean by frequent baths in large, raised tubs, and one of the kennels even boasts the beautiful gift of a donor — a hand-painted, full-wall mural. In the spacious central greeting area, enthusiastic volunteers and staff in Fidelco T-shirts were busy raising additional funds by selling everything from sketches of owners and their dogs to doggie treats. I succumbed to a very special type of "chewing bone" to send to Charlie, my daughter's shelter-adopted dog.
One of the reasons for the fundraising is the cost of raising a guide dog is about $45,000. From breeding to training takes 15,000 hours; two years from birth to placement with a client. Despite the lifetime client service, which includes visits once a year and in-home client training, there is no cost to the legally blind people who receive a guide dog. None of this would be possible without the help of many dedicated volunteers.
One of the most important programs staffed by volunteers are the families who serve as "foster parents" for the puppies, acclimating them to family life and basic skills. When the dogs are ready to start their rigorous training, the "parents" give them up so they may eventually bond with a new owner.
One client who has had two guide dogs is Karen Petrou, the co-founder and managing partner of consulting firm Federal Financial Analytics. Another Fidelco recipient is the first and only blind person to climb Mt. Everest.
Fidelco also sponsors the "Dog Days of Summer," a summer program for children in which they learn about the responsibilities of dog ownership. Fidelco has also placed hundreds of its German shepherds with law enforcement agencies, first responders, search and rescue and missing child recovery organizations. To learn more or to support Fidelco, call 860-243-4050 or visit fidelco.org.

Two police officers were beaten up by a mob of 30 children after they went to search a boy they believed to have a knife.
They went to search one of the boys after they saw him hide a knife in Lewisham on November 9 shortly after the end of school.
As they did, one of the officers was punched repeatedly in the face before he fell down. While on the ground he was kicked in the head and had to be taken to hospital.
A female PC stepped in to help him but ended up being punched and left with a broken jaw.
The first police officer suffered serious bruising and his mobile phone was damaged.
A 15-year-old boy was arrested on suspicion of actual bodily harm and has been bailed until December.
Several people filmed the attack and police want people to hand it over to police.
Detective Sergeant Jenny White said: 'It happened at a very busy time of the day and there would've been a large number of people in the area.
'These officers go to work every day to keep the public safe and this demonstrates the dangers the police can face while carrying out these duties.'

DeLay Says Justices 'Don't Get' Criticism
by Will Lester - Mar. 28, 2006 - AP Wire
WASHINGTON - Republican Rep. Tom DeLay said Tuesday that former and current Supreme Court Justices Sandra Day O'Connor and Ruth Bader Ginsburg "don't get it" when they complain about conservative criticism of judges.
"All wisdom doesn't reside in ... people in black robes," DeLay said.
In recent weeks, O'Connor has said the criticism has threatened judicial independence to deal with difficult issues such as gay marriage. Ginsburg said in a speech that a Web threat against her and O'Connor was apparently prompted by Republican proposals in Congress that tell judges to stop relying on foreign laws or court decisions.
Ginsburg said such actions by Congress "fuel the irrational fringe."
"Didn't you see the comments of Sandra Day O'Connor and Ruth Ginsburg over the last couple of weeks?" DeLay, R-Texas, asked reporters after a speech to a group of Christian conservatives. "There's still a problem, they don't get it. There are three branches of government. All wisdom doesn't reside in ... people in black robes."
Earlier, the former House majority leader told activists he agreed with their premise that there is a "war on Christianity.
We have an absolutely amazing attitude emanating from our courts. They "make law" constantly while insisting that they don't do this because it is unconsitutional. To say their constant whining about who hates them and hates the contemptible rulings they make proves they "don't get it" is the understatement of the year. What I don't get is why the press seem to feel DeLay's comments are a surprise. What I don't get is how Ginsburg can believe that only the "irrational fringe" hates and reviles her.
