With most modern digital cameras it is quite easy to take fairly good quality photos of your artwork. You will need bright soft lighting and natural daylight is perfect for this, an overcast day is best as it avoids any glare from harsh sunlight.
If you are creating your card using our online card designer then accepted image file types include JPG, PNG, GIF and SVG.
We can also produce very high quality greeting cards direct from your graphics application, such as Photoshop or Illustrator.

Facebook says it now has over 1 billion people using the site each month, with over 665 million active users each day. This makes it one of the most powerful marketing tools any self publishing artist or photographer can use. When you have a strong presence on Facebook, your business is part of these conversations and has access to the most powerful kind of word-of-mouth marketing — recommendations between friends.
Email marketing is a simple and affordable marketing option for anyone with little time and limited resources. But of course you need to collect a list of interested subscribers who want to know more about your work before you can begin communicating with them, letting them know about new artwork or forthcoming exhibitions and events.
What's the best way to market my greeting cards? Many self publishers use traditional means like art shows, craft exhibitions, local art galleries, independent shops, markets and street stalls.
Your first step might be to pound the pavements and approach independent shops or galleries with your line of card products. Starting out can be hard work and could result in little interest at first, but be determined if you believe your work will sell.
For more information or advice on any of our card printing services please call Adrian or Thomas on 0117 952 0105.

Semen collection is performed at the laboratory using routine techniques. After semen is collected, it is immediately evaluated and processed for fresh or cooled-shipped use.
If the semen is to be used for fresh insemination, the appropriate volume of raw semen is mixed with semen extender so that each insemination dose contains at least 500 million progressively motile sperm cells. If the semen is to be used for shipped-cooled insemination, the appropriate volume of raw semen is mixed with semen extender so that each insemination dose contains at least one billion progressively motile sperm cells.
After processing, the semen is packaged into an appropriate shipping/cooling container and sent to the mare owner. We primarily ship in an Equitainer, unless the shipment is Canadian bound. Normally Canadian shipments are sent in a disposable container. There is an extra charge for this, however, it is usually much less than the expense to return the Equitainer.Cooled-transported semen is generally shipped to the mare owner via Federal Express via Priority Overnite Service. Semen may be shipped for same day delivery using commercial airlines (i.e. counter-to-counter). We have courier service to the airport, and with proper notification; 24 hours, we are often able to provide it conveniently for pick up by the mare owner on an early afternoon to early evening flight.

Montessori School launched at Steventon

Sir George formally opened The Children's House in Steventon - a Montessori Pre-School for 2 to 5 year olds - based in the Village Hall and run by Marianne Preece.
"There is a shortage of facilities locally for this age-group, and the Montessori formula is well-tested and popular. Our children went to Montessori schools, and our grandchildren are now at them. The relationship between the school and the parents is at the heart of the success of the Montessori approach, together with the child-oriented focus which does what is best for each child."
Sir George was assisted at the opening by Jungle Jim and his emu, Camilla. "Camilla was not brought up by Rod Hull, and was very friendly."
After the opening, there was a fund-raising event for the Naomi Children's Hospice.
"I wish Marianne and her team every success in their new project; I was very impressed by the commitment and professionalism of those working for it."
Next news: Funds raised for Troy Parker Appeal

I spent all night last night messing around with the Unity3D game engine and I have to say I really like how they handle scripted objects in their engine. You place an object in the world, and then attach existing scripts to it. This is a nice concept, as it lets you re-use a script file over and over for several other objects.
Currently the Mud Designer allows each object to have a single script, and the script is owned by that object and not shared by any other objects in the game. After messing with the Unity engine's scripting setup, I'm currently thinking about changing how the engine handles scripts. I'm considering a script repository that the Designer holds, and developers can drag and drop the scripts onto objects within the game. I'm not quiet sure how I want to go about implementing this concept, as it works great with a single IDE interface, that allows drag and dropping from object to object, but the Designer is broken up into several editors and thus making it a little more difficult to achieve.

Arch Rock
Arch Rock, found above the eastern shore of Michigan's Mackinac Island, is a natural limestone arch formed as glaciers receeded from the region. This is a rare type of formation for the Great Lakes region, as limestone breccia is not ideal for the formation of natural bridges. Native Americans held the rock as a place of power and legend.

How to Be Persuasive
Talking is easy. Giving out a speech or lecture is easy. Keeping your point forward is also easy. But the most difficult part is to persuade people with your content. It is not easy to convince someone regarding something you are talking about or asking for something. In order to convince, you need to be a persuasive speaker. Being a persuasive speaker is not easy as it requires great attention and quick thinking. The following points should be considered while persuading someone.
How to Make People Instantly Like You
Everyone wants to be liked and accepted by other people. While some will like you easily, with others you have to strain very hard. However, you cannot force someone to like you even after trying a lot. Majority of the times, people who click easily with one another without giving it a lot of work tend to have a stronger relationship. Therefore, forcing yourself onto someone is not going to benefit you. There are few ways that can help you build that kind of personality that everyone may like. Few tips should always be kept in mind.

How to Use Fear to Your Advantage
We are controlled by the emotion of fear. Fear of failure, rejection, unsuccessfulness, etc. can be the reason for you to oversee opportunities and second guess yourself. You lose energy in your life. But fear can also prove to be an influential factor for positive action if you recognize the correct way to leverage it. Fear is a powerful emotion and so can influence in both negative and positive manner. It does not matter what you are fearful of, risking the dive, opening a business, refusing a client or speaking at a podium, you can transform the fear into something positive.
The Secret To Power Dressing
People always want to resemblance their leaders and often adopt their dressing style. People follow their idols to a great extent. Therefore, it becomes very important for those idols to maintain their reputation and present themselves in the best way possible. To present ones personality or power, the way you dress plays an important role. No one will notice a person wearing ripped jeans and faded shirt. But a person with crisp suit and tie will have all eyes on himself. Clothing is the most significant part of a person's personality. It shows your personality in way that nothing else does.
Believe in Yourself
"The only person who can pull me down is myself, and I'm not going to let myself pull me down anymore."
– C. JoyBell C
Man's biggest enemy is himself if he does not believe in himself then it is impossible for him to achieve anything in life. Not believing in oneself is the cruellest thing a person can do to himself. Believing in yourself opens up doors to success and victory in life. Believe in yourself and you will own the world
Why goal setting works
In order to achieve something you need to focus entirely on the work to be done to achieve your goal. If you get distracted, you might lose opportunities to get closer to your goals. However, setting your focus in the right direction can prove to be difficult as there are several things going on around us that can influence us and make us follow the wrong path. To focus in the right direction, that is, focus on the central point of your goal, there are certain thing one should keep in mind.

What You Focus on Grows
In life we want to try out many different things and activities. We always want to learn something new and something different. However, it is very difficult to be good in everything you attempt you need to put in a lot of hard work to obtain your goals. To be good at something, you need to focus on it with dedication and determination. Having a tunnel vision towards your goal will help you achieve success. Focus on your work and it will grow and progress.

How to be Graceful and Elegant
Being a graceful person does not just contribute to impressing members of the opposite sex, it is also the way one leads his life. Although grace is a single word, the characteristics of a graceful person are a combined effort of posture and movement. Both grace and beauty are synonymous. Grace is the way in which a person carries his body, controls both actions and thoughts. Graceful people are always courteous and they treat everyone with respect.

"I had the opportunity to try different practice groups before settling into one. I really valued not being locked into a practice area before I could do substantive work in that area."
- Meghan E.F. Rissmiller, Partner, Washington, D.C.
Getting to know Hogan Lovells
I selected the firm because it felt like a good fit from day one. My fellow summer associates, associates, partners, and staff members were warm and inviting. Everyone at the firm made me feel wanted and valuable. Moreover, during my summer I became very close friends with my classmates as well as some associates, who remain good friends today.
Aside from the welcoming environment, I chose Hogan because of the variety of practice groups and opportunities available in the Washington, D.C., office. When I started my time as a summer associate, I had only some clarity about which practice areas interested me and wanted to try as many areas of law as possible. The summer program with its mini-rotations allowed me to get a good sampling. When I returned as an associate, I still had the opportunity to try different practice groups before settling into one. I really valued not being locked into a practice area before I could do substantive work in that area.
I have only been at the firm for nearly two years but I have had opportunities that I did not expect I would have until much later in my career. These include managing large projects, defending depositions, having direct client contact, engaging in substantive antitrust thinking and strategizing, and drafting briefs and motions, among many other things. The partners in my group have been insistent upon providing associates the opportunities to gain the experience necessary to advance their careers.
I have genuinely appreciated the mentoring that I have received from partners and more senior associates at Hogan Lovells. I can name dozens of examples but one experience stands out. When an extremely senior antitrust litigation partner with a reputation for toughness heard that I was preparing to defend my first deposition, he came in to work on a Saturday to give me a personalized "Deposition 101." This training was invaluable. He also brought me his dog-eared copy of the Federal Rules of Evidence, complete with objections and explanations, which I borrowed for the deposition. A few weeks later, he showed up in my office to personally deliver a copy of the rules that he had purchased for me to keep. It was a memorable moment.
Even outside of the D.C. office, the people of Hogan Lovells have extended their hospitality. During discovery for a merger litigation case, the trial team and I spent weeks working out of the Los Angeles office. Everyone in that office was welcoming and accommodating. I felt like I knew the people in the office, including other associates, partners, and staff, very well by the end of the case. One of the major benefits of working at a firm with such an expansive global reach is that you can get the kind of support while traveling that you have at your home office.
Hogan Lovells' Antitrust practice is renowned and has won many awards, including being named one of the Global Competition Review's Top 10 "Global Elite" antitrust practices. As a result, we have the chance to work on many large and significant deals. Such an opportunity would not exist at a firm with a lesser reputation.
Pro bono
Hogan Lovells is remarkable in terms of its commitment to pro bono. I have volunteered as an instructor for the Thurgood Marshall Law Day Program, which brings students into our offices from an inner city charter high school to learn and act out a variety of legal subjects like a civil trial or a criminal trial. I find participating in the program incredibly rewarding but what always strikes me as significant is how many busy partners take hours out of their day to participate in this activity. This could be said for any number of pro bono activities that Hogan Lovells sponsors. Partners and associates at Hogan Lovells are deeply committed to their causes and give time and money to support them.
Word to the wise
When comparing Hogan Lovells to other firms, I would encourage applicants to think about the kinds of people you want to spend time with. Like at any law firm, there will occasionally be long days but knowing that some of your best friends are around the corner from your office slogging it out with you makes those days bearable.
My practice is focused on antitrust clearance of mergers and acquisitions, antitrust litigation, and non-merger antitrust investigations. I assist in representing clients in matters before the U.S. Federal Trade Commission, the Antitrust Division of the U.S. Department of Justice, and assorted U.S. Attorneys' Offices. I am active in the Section of Antitrust Law and the Young Lawyers Division of the American Bar Association.
I joined the Hogan Lovells team in 2009 after working as a summer associate in 2007. I am a graduate of the Georgetown University Law Center, where I was a member of the Barristers' Council Moot Court Team, a Global Teaching Fellow, and the editor-in-chief of the Annual Survey of White Collar Crime published by the American Criminal Law Review. I also served as a law clerk to The Honorable Jane R. Roth of the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Third Circuit. Before embarking on my legal career, I was a national security analyst with a focus on nuclear issues at a large defense contractor based in Northern Virginia.
My interests outside of my legal practice include running road races, particularly 10 milers, and cooking.

Preparing on a Budget
It seems that almost everyone is having to curtail spending even on necessities these days. A whole new wave of people are beginning preparedness plans and starting to procure and store supplies.
The latest series of world events, hurricanes, gas shortages and the financial meltdown have caused previously complacent non-preparers to now realize they need to obtain and store critical goods and equipment. Long term preparedness people are re-doubling their efforts to be ready for the worst.
Unfortunately, a new factor is weighing heavily against us in these pursuits. Lack of MONEY! This is a very serious concern - but don't give up. Both old pros and new comers to preparedness do have some viable sources of supplies at budget prices.
Remember - even if you are just starting to prepare and have little money, you can probably do something every day to get the emergency goods and supplies you and your family need for peace of mind and protection.
I recently bought dried fruit, cans of nuts, vitamins, supplements, candles, first aid supplies, assorted toiletries and drink mixes all for one dollar per item.
Don't forget your friendly Army Navy Surplus Store - GI Surplus is a great one to visit. Rugged clothing and equipment are reasonably priced and its a fun place to shop. There's also a very good chance that you'll meet other people that share your same interests and concerns.
One of the great values are the $19.99 Jungle Boots. Great for limited budgets and growing feet.
Yard sales and flea markets are other great resources. Look for good deals at grocery and discount stores. Try to store at least one extra meal per day - and you can never have enough food stored. Stored food is a win-win investment. You are not only insuring that you will eat during an emergency, you are insuring you will eat at yesterdays lower prices.
Even if you have no money, try to learn something new everyday. Even the most mundane piece of knowledge may be of infinite value in the future.

Sometimes there is nothing cooler than the happiness of a dog. Being an owner of Boxers, I haven't had the pleasure of riding with my dogs but I have always loved riding with others. This video is a great representation of an awesome trail dog.
Ruby is a 4 year old Hungarian Vizsla. She's been riding trails with Tom since she was a puppy, and she's definitely faster than you are.
With a trail dog by your side you always have a riding partner who is ready to go, can bomb jumps, take the perfect inside line, stay right on your wheel, and do it time after time.
A mountain bikers best friend.

Visualization and Characterization of Paleozoic (Ordovician-Devonian) Tight Carbonate Reservoirs, Oklahoma, Part 2
Paradise Application Brief PC-2
Part 2 of a 2-part Paradise Application Brief series applying multiple seismic attributes to enable easy high-grading of leaseholds, asses efficacy of perforations and identify under-perforated zones. It also describes revealing anomolies and flat spots in Hunton and Viola using SOM to indicate facies contrasts, diagenetic changes and/or fluid effects.

Full Article Text:
This Application Brief is a companion piece to another case study on findings in the Viola (Paradise Application Brief PC-1). Together, these two pieces describe a proof-of-concept project conducted to demonstrate the efficacy of the Paradise® multi-attribute analysis software. For this section, Figure 1, a structure map on the Wichita unconformity is used as an Index Map to all of the other figures.
Figures 2a and 2b show the remarkable isolation of a Hunton objective above the Top of the Sylvan horizon and sequence boundary (black), another immediately below the Sylvan with a possible flat spot, and another updip of the well above the Top Viola with an apparent flat spot.
Productive Perforation
In Figures 3a and 3b transparency flip shows only the stratigraphy that was previously highlighted by white low probability. On the left, the Top Silvan horizon bisects the anomalous areas; its location is indicated by white arrow on the right. The extent of the anomalies is shown by the large white ellipse. The small ellipse indicates the location of a small anomaly that sits above the Top Viola. "Mining" the data set with the same multi-attribute result is as simple as moving the inline and timeslice through the volume till another area lights up (Figure 4). One can see that another anomaly is located downdip and further to the Northwest of the anomalies in Figure 3.
Key Well #3 was regarded as a "Type" Hunton well with a modest hydrocarbon recovery. However, the well was perforated in the Sylvan to exploit a smallish truncation trap. Figure 5 makes it abundantly clear that the perforations were taken pretty far downdip and would not produce much from the tapered reservoir. A take point further updip might have been planned that would still keep a fair distance from the unconformity. Also, if the well had been deepened it might have encountered a target at the base of the Sylvan that has very similar properties to the Test objective at the base of the Viola complete with pseudo flat spot at the base of its platform (Figure 6b).
Figure 6a has an overlay of the objective section at Well #3 that shows a low probability feature that is in the Hunton section.
Figure 7a shows the red anomaly lit up within the volume and Figure 7b shows that trend in two parts and comprised of four red neurons. It is underlain by the Top Sylvan horizon. Note that this early result predated the well corrections so they are used here only as locaters on the trend to show that this anomaly may not have been fully exploited.
A summary of the workflow outlined in Figure 8 shows how quickly and effectively Paradise can be applied to hi-grade a leasehold!

If you find yourself snacking on an extra bag of chips (or three) before you doze off for the evening, you may want to guzzle a little more aqua. Not only can water keep our bodies functioning at their optimal levels, but apparently plain old water can help you eat less, too. A new study has shown that increasing your daily water consumption by just 1 percent could help you ditch those extra calories.
The study was conducted by University of Illinois kinesiology and community health professor, Ruopeng An. Professor An examined data from 18, 300 U.S adults who were surveyed by the National Center for Health Statistics between 2005 and 2012.
According to the survey, individuals consumed about 4.2 cups of plain water per day. This accounted for roughly 30 perfect of the total dietary water intake. The average calorie intake was around 2,000 calories, in which 125 calories came from sugar-sweetened drinks and 432 calories came from snacks such as pastries, desserts, and snack mixes.
The researchers found that two to three cups of extra water per day helped lower total calories by almost 200 calories. They also found that sodium, sugar and cholesterol levels decreased as well:
- Sodium levels dropped by 78 to 235 milligrams per day.
- Sugar levels dropped by 5 grams to 18 grams per day.
- Cholesterol consumption dropped by 7 to 21 milligrams per day.
Professor An commented on the results by saying, "This finding indicates that it might be sufficient to design and deliver universal nutrition interventions and education campaigns that promote plain water consumption in replacement of beverages with calories in diverse population subgroups without profound concerns about message and strategy customization."
Water may not stave off a raging appetite, but according to this study, a few extra cups of water could stop you from nipping at those chips you didn't want to eat.

Alex Docherty's Best
Western Bulldogs: Bontempelli, Jong, Stringer, Picken, Adams, Wood, Cloke
Sydney Swans: Reid, Franklin, Lloyd, Kennedy, Parker, Hayward
It was the Grand Final rematch that the media had hyped up all week, but the two teams delivered big time underneath the Friday night lights, as the Western Bulldogs won their highly-anticipated rematch against the Swans by 23 points, making it four in a row against the red and whites. It was a game that fluctuated back and forth right from the outset, with a crowd just under 43,000 witnessing a rematch worthy of the epic Grand Final that it was last year.
With the Bulldogs unfurling their premiership flag pre-game, the Swans came bursting out of the blocks with something to prove. They kicked the opening four goals of the contest and threatened to run away with it from the opening bounce. Their pressure around the ball made the Bulldogs looked very jittery and at times, a little bit too cute at times and as a result, turned the ball over numerous times in that opening quarter when they probably shouldn't have.
It took until midway through the opening quarter for the Dogs to get going. The Swans went down to 21 men when Kurt Tippett landed awfully on his left ankle and was taken to the bench, he didn't return for the rest of the game. Shortly afterwards, Travis Cloke took a mark in the middle of Etihad Stadium and then was abruptly laid out by Sydney's Zak Jones shortly afterwards, setting the tone for an intense evening ahead. Cloke then proceeded to slot his first goal of the night, after he butchered a very gettable shot earlier in the quarter, and moments after his first, found his second goal of the night after defender Aliir Aliir was pinged for holding the man deep in attacking 50.
After a sluggish opening term, the Dogs settled and started to look more like the team that won the flag last year as they began to take control of the contest in the second quarter. Bulldogs captain Robert Murphy got the team up and about a minute into the term with his first goal since returning from his ACL injury last year. The lead went back and forth when Matt Suckling delivered a trademark bomb from long range to give the Bulldogs the lead for the first time of the night, they then traded goals with the Swans for the most part of the term, before the Dogs added two goals late in the term to take an eight-point lead into half-time.
Tom Boyd, after a quiet first-half, wasted no time to make his presence felt as he took an early contender for mark of the year deep inside 50 and goaled inside the first minute of the third quarter, he would make two goals for the quarter later in the quarter as Aliir gave away another free kick for holding the man. The champs began to pull away with another five-goal quarter, with a lead as big as 28 points. A late goal to Lance Franklin, who up to that point went goalless all night, saw the Swans down 22 points at the final break.
But nobody could've predicted that the Franklin goal in the third quarter would start something special in the last quarter. With Marcus Adams and the pro-Bulldogs crowd getting the better of him for most of the night, Buddy kicked his second of the night only a minute into the last term and then proceeded to kick two nearly identical goals from outside the fifty metre arc to cut the margin from 22 to two points in a span of 10 minutes. Then it was left to Sam Reid, who had been torching the Bulldog defenders all night, to give the Swans the lead for the first time since late in the second term.
Just when you thought the Swans were going to run away with it, the reigning premiers showed that same fight, passion and belief that got them that historic 2016 flag in the first place. It started with Liam Picken's terrific run-down chase on Sydney captain Josh Kennedy inside the Bulldogs' attacking 50, and whilst he would miss that shot on goal, he would play a vital hand in giving the Bulldogs back the lead.
He ran it out of the defensive 50 and then sprinted up the ground to recieve the ball again and kick to Marcus Bontempelli, who was striding towards the goal-square, he would virtually steal it from underneath Harry Cunningham's nostrils to kick the goal. Picken would also kick two important goals shortly thereafter, one of those being on the receiving end of a controversial deliberate rushed behind free-kick from Sydney's Callum Mills, after last year's Rising Star winner punched the ball over the line as Picken was running towards him. Picken's second goal in the dying seconds, along with Jake Stringer's superb running goal minutes earlier would ensure the Dogs would celebrate the unfurling of their 2016 flag in style.
Leading The Way
So many Dogs starred on the night. Marcus Bontempelli came into the game in the second half after a quiet first-half, he would finish up with 30 disposals, seven tackles, six inside 50s five clearances and two goals, Tom Liberatore, who played his 100th game on Friday night, was busy with 19 disposals, a whopping 16 tackles and six clearances, Jake Stringer was back to his brilliant best, with three stunning goals from 15 disposals and six marks and Liam Picken proved again to be a massive headache for the Swans defenders with a stunning fourth quarter, he finished with 21 disposals, six marks and two goals.
But there were quite a few from the Bulldogs' team on Friday night that didn't play in the Grand Final but starred on this night. Marcus Adams, who came in for the injured Dale Morris this weekend, was huge in defence and showed positive signs that he's back in that early-2016 form that got a lot of Bulldogs supporters excited. He had 20 disposals, seven marks, five tackles and along with 2016 premiership captain Easton Wood, who had 16 disposals and five very important intercept marks, inspired the defensive unit all night. On the other end, it was Travis Cloke that got the Dogs up and running when they needed someone to step up from a shaky start. He would end the night with three goals from 18 disposals and seven marks.
Lin Jong broke his collarbone in the Elimination Final last year and was also seen touring Collingwood's facilities mid-2016, but on Friday night, he repaid the faith the Dogs had in him, with 23 disposals, eight marks, seven tackles and one goal, Tom Campbell was brought into the side this week and proved to work well in tandem with Tom Boyd, he finished with 14 disposals, 33 hitouts, six tackles and seven inside 50s and how can we not forget Robert Murphy, who continues to show that he still has it at AFL level, he had 20 disposals, six marks, four inside 50s and a goal.
The Opposition
It doesn't sound right to say that Sydney have begun their season 0-2, but it was only three years ago when the Swans last started the season with two-straight losses, and they ended up on top of the ladder and made the Grand Final, but given that the Swans are blooding games into their younger players, they might be finding it hard to break into the top four let alone a Grand Final, but if there's one thing I've learnt from this Sydney team in years gone by, Never ever count them out.
Sam Reid kicked six goals from 15 disposals and five marks - equalling his career-high set back in 2012 when he put six past the Brisbane Lions. This takes his 2017 tally to nine goals in two games and given that he didn't play a game last year with a number of injuries, this will please Swans fans immensely. Lance Franklin nearly dragged the Swans over the line in the last quarter with three last-quarter goals. He finished with four for the night with 22 disposals, 11 marks and 10 inside 50s.
Jake Lloyd led all players in disposals with 34 touches along with eight rebound 50s, five inside 50s and four marks, debutants Nic Newman and Will Hayward were also impressive. Newman slotted through his first goal in the AFL in the second quarter and finished with 16 disposals and six tackles, Hayward was solid with 16 disposals, six tackles and six inside 50s and second-gamer Oliver Florent continued to show signs that he will be a very good player in the future, highlighted by a stunning run-down tackle on Jason Johannisen in the second quarter, followed by an equally impressive set-shot goal from a tight angle.
But they would've loved to have gotten more from their veterans and this where I think this is the root problem for them being win-less in 2017. They lost the possession count on Friday night 412-352. Josh Kennedy and Luke Parker battled hard for 24 and 21 possessions respectively but were down on their lofty standards, Dan Hannebery has continued on his poor start to 2017 with 19 disposals with very little impact and Kieran Jack had 19 disposals at 47 percent efficiency - simply not good enough for a guy that used to captain this club. They need their more important players like Isaac Heeney, Jarrad McVeigh and Dane Rampe back in this team and Tom Mitchell's departure has hurt their midfield brigade more than orignally thought. It's a tough road ahead for the Swans, but I know they'll bounce back.
Next Week
The Western Bulldogs are on the road for the first time this year, as they make their first of two trips to Perth this year to tackle the Fremantle Dockers, who have yet to register their first win of the season, being thumped by both Geelong and Port Adelaide over the first two rounds.
Let's not forget the last time the Dogs travelled up to Perth to take on Fremantle, the Dockers managed to pull one out for their retiring champion in Matthew Pavlich in a horrific performance put on by the red, white and blues. But I am confident that this will be a much different Bulldogs outfit next week, could we see our first blowout win in 2017?

Marmoleum production is better than carbon neutralHaving improved our environmental footprint, Marmoleum is today being produced 'better than carbon neutral.' This means that when you add up the amount of CO2 emitted during the production of the raw materials used in Marmoleum and the actual production of the Marmoleum itself, the total is less than zero.
This is primarily because Marmoleum is made from renewable plant resources such as flax, pine trees, and jute, which absorb CO2 during growth. In addition, Forbo Flooring Systems' manufacturing sites use electricity from renewable sources.
The LCA calculation for one square meter of Marmoleum at the various stages from cradle to gate is as follows:
Total CO2 emission for the production of Marmoleum: -0.09
CO2 equivalents
Raw material extraction: - 1.31
Transport of raw materials: +0.27
Manufacturing: +0.95
This achievement puts Forbo Flooring Systems far ahead of the CO2 emission agreements that were made at the climate summit in Paris, in December 2015. History was written in Paris with measures to limit global warming to a maximum 2 degrees Celsius, but no less than 1.5 degrees. To combat global warming, the quantity of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere, and of CO2 in particular, needs to be limited. We are not only committed to fulfilling the COP21 agreement, but to do more and so be a leader in the field of sustainability.

There's nothing like being at the birth of a new product to make you realize how many people are involved—and I owe a debt of gratitude to almost all of them. First and foremost, I'd like to thank Erik Larson, Contribute Product Manager, for introducing me to his pride and joy; looks like it's going to be a fine addition to the family. I truly appreciate all the support and help provided by others on the Contribute team, including (but certainly not limited to) Eric Lerner, Ken Sundermeyer, Narciso Jaramillo, Darrick Brown, George Fox, and Emilio Passi.
As for this new entity that you hold in your hands, there's plenty of folks making that happen as well. Tip of the ol' hat to David Dwyer and Stephanie Wall of New Riders for listening to my early ravings about Contribute—I do appreciate the attention—and a special thank you to my birthing partners, Linda Bump and Jennifer Eberhardt. We wouldn't have as smooth a delivery without your assistance. I'm also happy to be working with the fine folks at Macromedia Press—thanks for all your input and advice.
I'm sure you've all heard the saying, "When the going gets tough, the tough get help." Well, that's my version anyway. My thanks to a couple of tough guys—Don Booth and Rob Christensen—who lent their know-how as well as their typing fingers to this book. Many thanks, my friends.
Finally, I'd like to extend my gratitude to the technical editors, Kim Cavanaugh and Murray Summers. It's really heartening to work alongside others who are as passionate about the product as I am, and I really value your time and expertise. Now pop that cork and let's celebrate!

I have a confession to make: I lose money on my rental property every month. But I'm OK with that. I've got a long-term plan. Or I'm still delusional and hoping for a turnaround in the housing market. Either way, I stubbornly refuse to lose $30,000 in home equity by selling. I'd rather pay $300 a month out of my pocket in the hopes of hanging on to what little equity I have left.
It's a Renters Market Out There
Much like a home buyer, a renter has a lot of purchasing power. It's a pure case of supply and demand if there ever was one. There are simply more homes on the market for rent in many parts of the country than there are renters. Renters have pricing power to force homeowners to lower the price of rent they pay each month, and as a landlord this causes me to personally lose about $300 a month.
But I'm fine with losing $300 a month. In fact, I'm actually happy about it. Let me tell you why you should be, too, if you're ever in the same situation.
My Tenants' Rent Doesn't Cover My Mortgage
Like many accidental landlords, I found myself stuck with a house a few years ago that I couldn't sell. Or, if I really wanted to sell it, I would've had to at a steep markdown from what I'd bought it for just six years ago during the housing market boom.
After a few tenant turnovers, I lowered the rent in order to find a new renter. (There were simply too many homes on the market. I couldn't compete.) The problem is that my lowered rent didn't cover my mortgage payment. In fact, after taxes, insurance, and private mortgage insurance, I pay about $300 out of my own pocket, in addition to my tenant's rent payment every month, just to pay my mortgage.
But I'm happy to continue taking a loss every month.
Should I take a $30,000 Loss Now or $300 a Month?
My wife and I bought our house in the Southeast at the height of the housing boom. We paid top dollar for our three-bedroom, 2.5-bath home. Today our home would sell for almost $25,000 less than what we paid for it. And we're one of the lucky ones. If we had to sell and take a loss, we'd be out of our entire equity because we placed a large down payment on the house.
At least we wouldn't owe any money out of pocket even after paying for closing costs.
But I dread the idea of watching $30,000 in equity evaporate overnight. So that's why I'd rather hold on to the house and pay $300 out of my own pocket every month instead of taking the huge bite all at once.

I assume the over rated part is about Drakes rapping skills being over rated. However drake started from the bottom now he's at the top. Plus he has better rhymes than Mikal who has 9000 ELO, entirely off rap battles he would have lost if he faced a single black guy during any of those battles.
He must also prove Drake is also Garbage, since the over rated part is clearly about Drake's rap skills, garbage must refer to drake in another way. I somehow doubt my opponent means that Drake is literally garbage, so I assume it is an attack on Drakes character. My opponent must prove that Drake is not only an over rated rapper, but is an unethical person.
Bottom line I seriously doubt my opponent can make an actual case, and will have to rely on subjectibe things, and since Drake started at the bottom and he is now at the top, he clearly must not only be a highly moral person, who people love so much they bestow opportunity after opportunity on, but he also must be an overwhelmingly good rapper.
This handicapped kid's rise to the top is truly inspirational.
1. He can't rhyme with any other word other than the n word
2. His rhymes are simple, no sense of vocabulary
3. He is unoriginal, rapping about money, girls, gangs, treating womans as objects
4. Who the hell is Mikal
5. His fans say it all
6. He lied about starting from the bottom when he didn't experience a struggle
7. He cant FreeStyle Check the links below
My interpretation of the resolution stands. My opponent has not challenged the interpretation. Which is overrated being a reference to drake"s rapping, and the garbage portion being a reference to Drake"s morality and practice of ethics.
I lot of people think that Drake is overrated because he is a douchebag. It"s more about a personal problem they have with him than anything to do with his actual talent. I admit it. Drake"s a douchebag. The way he carries himself, the way he talks, the way he dresses. He also insulted his own family on Saturday Night Live once. It was joking, but he felt bad enough that he had to apologize to them anyway. However, being a douchebag is just part of being Canadian. I"ve never met a Canadian that wasn"t a douchebag. That"s just the way those people are, and as much as I"d like to see them wiped from the face of God"s green Earth, they"re nice people. They also have the privilege of being home to the greatest rapper of all time""Drake. The kid who started off in a wheelchair and had to teach himself how to walk again and who would eventually grow up to be the greatest rapper of all time.
Greatest Rapper of All Time
I"d say that Drake is arguably the greatest rapper of all time, for a variety of reasons. He actually did start from the bottom of the rap world if you think about it. People like their rappers to start out with extremely rough lives, and from tough backgrounds. Look at Rick Ross. He had to pretend to be a drug kingpin to make it in the rap industry because he knew admitting he was a prison guard early on would spell an end to his rap career, before it even started. http://www.thesmokinggun.com...
While Rick Ross had the advantage of being able to lie about his past to overcome the initial prejudices, against people not starting out with crappy lives in the rap industry, Drake had no such option due to his career as an actor in the television series Degrasse. Drake started out as a well-paid actor, from an upper middle class, maybe even wealthy background, and is a Jewish Canadian. With all the prejudice against Drake, because of his great upbringing and lucky start in life, he needed to be good at rapping to make it as big as he did. His rap skills, forced people to take him serious. http://www.aux.tv...
Believe it or not, rapping talent is extremely subjective, but when we look at what this guy has produced when the whole world was against his career, it is simply amazing. People were forced to recognize his talent. Fans have propelled him to ten number one singles, which is more than the Beetles, and also more than any other rapper ever. So he is arguably the best rapper of all time.
Most Hated Rapper Alive
I"d say that if you look at the facts it will show that Drake is in fact, typically rated very low as a rapper, besides be the greatest selling rapper of all time. You can go to a single hip hop thread without hearing people hate on Drake. How can somebody who receives so much hate be overrated. If you look at all these threads, what everybody says about Drake, he is arguably more hated than Adolph Hitler. Drake would literally have to be Adolph Hitler to be more hated than he is now. With everyone saying he sucks, while secretly enjoying his music and giving him a number one hit ten different times, it"s pretty clear Drake is in fact underrated. http://www.passionweiss.com...
Quick Rebuttals, and Conclusion
My opponent argues that Drake cannot freestyle but that is entirely subjective, and not important at all. Drake is a recording artist. Insulting a recording artist for not being able to freestyle, would be like calling Muhammad Ali a bad fighter because despite all his success in the ring, he sucks in street fights. It"s simply a nonsensical position. I"ve addressed the part about Drake starting at the bottom as far as rap music is concerned, and my opponent has yet to show how Drake is a bad person. My opponent also fails to show how Drake is rated highly, at all by anyone. I"d say since he"s the most hated rapper alive, he is rated extremely low.
There are many douchebaggish rappers who aren't even heard about
cough cough Tyler the creator
'The kid who started off from a wheel chair and had to teach himself how to walk again'
What does being in a wheel chair have to do with being lyrically skilled or talented? How exactly did he start from the bottom when he wasnt even low class.
'I"d say that Drake is arguably the greatest rapper of all time, for a variety of reasons. He actually did start from the bottom of the rap world if you think about it. People like their rappers to start out with extremely rough lives, and from tough backgrounds'
Again how did he start from the bottom? You keep repeating everything you said but you arent supporting it. He was a actor who lived in a middle class neighborhood
' I"d say that if you look at the facts it will show that Drake is in fact, typically rated very low as a rapper, besides be the greatest selling rapper of all time. '
You just agreed with me, that Drake is garbage.
How is he not overrated? When you hear someone talk about YOUNG MONEY, I bet you one of the first to three names they mention is Drake, the internet is full of trolls, people could be lying to piss off the fanbase, Drake is overrated, hes known by a lot, he gets that same Eminem overration, just because his beats sound good, watch, let Drake make another rap video and you'll see people on the radio putting on '0 -100' teenagers saying '0 - 100' Vine using '0-100
Listen to Drakes music, he can't rhyme without saying the same thing over and over, using simple rhymes, his vocabulary is very low, yet he was part of middle class, that's pretty sad, no wonder Eminem gets more popularity then YOUNG money combined,
Why exactly would I say he is a bad person? When all rappers are bad people, what rappers do you see who don't swear? Or rappers that claim they are christian but collaborate with satanic beings. I just said hes overrated and garbage.
You still haven't showed how Drake is a good rapper, its not your part to make the rules on a debate

Benefits of a Gas Cooktop
Every new American West home comes with a gas cooktop. Why do we choose gas cooktops for our new homes? What are the benefits of a gas cooktop?
Benefits of a gas cooktop:
Accurate Cooking Temperatures
With a gas cooktop, the heat to the cookware transfers immediately because a gas flame immediately grows larger or smaller with a turn of a dial. With an electric range, the burner has to heat up or cool down.
Evenly Distributed Heat
The flame of a gas cooktop is centralized and allows for even distribution of heat to the cookware, which reduces scorching.
Lower Heat Emissions
Gas cooktops emit less wasted heat than electric cooktops. The gas flame and heat also immediately disappears when turned off which makes them safer. With an electric cooktop, you have to wait for that burner to heat up and cool down.
Faster Cooking Time
Gas heat is immediately available. Turn it on and the flame is ready to use, so it takes less time to cook. You can also adjust temperature moment to moment.
No power? No Problem.
In the event that your electricity goes out, you can still prepare a meal with your gas cooktop.
Saves Money
A gas cooktop will lower your electrical bill. Rates for natural gas tend to be lower than the rates for electricity which saves you money.
Chefs Choose Gas Cooktops
Professional chefs love to cook with gas because they provide greater heat control than electric cooktops. Gas ovens also retain moisture in foods more consistently than their electric counterparts.

: Firstly, it goes without saying that abortion is terrible procedure.
It goes without saying? Parenthood can be terrible. Being raised by parents who don't want you can be terrible. But how is it necessarily terrible for people who don't want children to not have children?
Perhaps Con refers to the terribleness of the operation itself? Early-term abortion by D&C is pretty simple and non-traumatic. If we're calling surgery terrible, abortions can be much less terrible than, say, hip replacements or nose jobs. Even less terrible than tattoos.
Are hip replacements, nose jobs, and tattoos so terrible that we should conclude that they are never solutions to problems?
: I am personally against abortions, but I understand in some situations in which abortion maybe seen as an appropiate option.
It seems appropriate because it solves problems, right? At least in some cases?
Con has the burden of proof: He has to prove that abortion does not solve problems. But, with the above line, he has effectively surrendered. He has as much as agreed that abortion does sometimes solve problems.
: I am a firm believer in God all that goes with it, but in my case it's not so much a religion belief as it is a personal belief.
It's a point of view. Implausible and unsupported, but a point of view nonetheless.
: I don't fully grasp the idea of harming an unborn soul because one would simply not want the responsibility.
I don't at all grasp how Con thinks abortion would harm a soul.
: There are many other options as opposed to aborting that are also much healthier.
Yes, explain to a pregnant twelve year old that there are safer options. Explain it to her doctor.
: As I have said many times before, "To each their own."
If your husband is killed, so you have to go to work and no longer want a baby; if you are raped, and never wanted a baby; if you got confused about what day it was, and neglected to take a birth control pill---in any of these cases, and countless others abortion can be the solution to a problem.
Con initiated the debate and argued first. By ether standard, he has the burden of proof. He undertook to prove that abortion does not solve problems. He has failed to do so.
Vote Pro.
Aizhukash forfeited this round.
Con initiated and argued first. That's confusing, so I'll just remind people that---even though I'm refuting---I am Pro.
Con had the burden of proof, but he never really argued for the resolution. He didn't meet his burden of proof.
Vote Pro.
Even though I didn't have the burden of proof, I pointed out that there are times when abortion can solve a problem. Therefore, the resolution is defeated.
Vote Pro.
Con forfeited.

The Labour party would fund 1,000 new UK border guards by introducing a £10 levy on all travellers from countries which have a visa waiver agreement with the UK, allowing them to be fast tracked through customs. The plan was unveiled by shadow home secretary Yvette Cooper in a speech delivered in central London, in which Ms Cooper said "It isn't racist to be worried about immigration or to call for immigration reform."
The new policy is being floated as part of Labour's attempt to toughen up their stance on immigration, in light of the rising popularity of the UK Independence Party, which is calling for an end to open borders. But Ukip have branded the policy a "huge embarrassment for Labour".
The Conservatives also slated the idea, claiming that the funds raised would only pay for 59 new border staff, not the 1,000 being touted, accusing the Labour party of being "especially dishonest", the BBC has reported.
In her speech, Cooper criticised the current government's record on immigration saying "enforcement has got worse in the last five years. Under [Home Secretary] Theresa May, basic checks are just not being done, and that is undermining confidence in the whole system.
"The number of people stopped and turned away at the border has halved. A smaller proportion of people absconding at the border are being found. And we recently discovered 175,000 failed asylum seekers may not be removed because the Department has 'limited resources'."
She also accused the government of losing a further 50,000 failed asylum seekers and of failing to sort out the "serious and growing problem" at the border in Calais, leading to "awful cases of young men camping by the roadside, then leaping onto the wheel arches of passing lorries, only to be crushed and killed". But she said that it was right to say that being within the EU was "immensely important for Britain's future and we must stay in Europe".
Cooper outlined new plans which would see 5.5million travellers a year from countries such as the US, Australia and Canada pay a £10 levy to be fast tracked into the country. She said that the extra cash raised would allow 1,000 new staff to be employed, improving visitors' experience and increasing the speed of passport checks. There are currently between 7,000 and 8,000 frontline staff on the UK borders.
Labour plan to bring in the extra fast tracking capacity by rolling out a scheme introduced earlier this year for all passport holders from the United Arab Emirates, Qatar and Oman who enter the UK on a visa-free stay for up to six months. All visa waver arrangements would need to be transferred to the electronic system.
However, the Conservative party criticised the plan, saying that the extra IT costs would swallow up any fees gained by the move. Theresa May commented "Even before Yvette Cooper's speech, this announcement has unravelled completely.
"Labour are pretending they can hire 1,000 more immigration staff when their funding model would raise enough money for only 59 new staff members. And as their secret spending review contains plans to cut the Home Office budget, they are being especially dishonest.
"And what's more, by relaxing the government's immigration reforms, Labour would take Britain backwards and risk a surge in both legal and illegal immigration.
"This disastrous policy launch shows Labour aren't remotely ready for the responsibility of government."
But Labour hit back, insisting that it would introduce a new immigration bill within months if it won next May's general election. Ms Cooper conceded that her party had not done enough in the past to mitigate the impact of immigration on low-skilled workers, but said that her party would bring back finger printing of immigrants to count them out of the country, as well as in. However, she has defended the "fair movement" of people within the EU, saying that Labour would mitigate for large migration flows by calling for an EU Migrant Impact Fund to pay for extra school places, medical provisions and housing in areas impacted by immigration.
It is an approach that drew scathing critiscism from Ukip, who argue that Britain can have no real control of her borders until she exits the European Union.
Speaking to Breitbart London, Ukip's spokesman on migration Steven Woolfe said "Labour's announcement is a huge embarrassment for the party and shows they really have no clue with regard to Britain's borders. Charging people from friendly and Commonwealth countries to enter the UK on visa waivers is plain discriminatory when we have no such ability to do the same with EU member states.
"It is, much like many recent Tory announcements, a ploy to try and claw back credibility on immigration which they lost over a 13 year period of a Labour government. It also shows what they believe in: further entrenching us in a shrinking Eurozone while sticking two fingers up at the prosperous globe."

Are your social feeds bombarded with buzzwords like superfoods and probiotics, fad fitness offerings or the latest DIY diets? While the hooked on health trend isn't new news, brands have been seeking unique ways to integrate health all year long. Whether through creative partnerships, product extensions or new offerings, we've seen the halo of health stretch far and wide in 2016. To break through the clutter, companies must think differently and show they understand the modern, everyday realities and wellness needs of consumers. Check out what some companies have done this year. We suspect even more brands will put a healthy spin on their products and offerings in 2017.
What's clear is that, in order to be successful, brands need to integrate health in an authentic and consistent way. You can't just pay lip service to the healthy trend through one event or partnership. Health has to be continuously integrated into the brand—through messaging, culture and consumer experience. At the end of the day, for your brand to get a clean bill of health, it must be the picture of health.
What new brand health trends or offerings have you seen? Leave a comment or snap a photo and share it with @inVentivPR on Twitter using #healthtrends.

Make sure that "backup-creator.exe" , "common-key" and what .iso you are wanting to backup is in the same folder. - Drag the ISO over the "backup-creator.exe" This will create a new iso called partition.iso so my question is: is the wii backup patcher the same thing as backup-creator? thanks

Some years ago I lived in Trentino, in Arco at Lake Garda. The local cuisine in Trentino Alto Adige is everything but boring. The food of this region is flavoured by other cultures. Many years ago Trentino used to be Austria. Many Trentini speak Italian as well as German, and the further you move to the north the more people speak German.
The local food from Trentino is based on bread, like the canederli and the strangolapreti. They prepare these dishes with melted butter, vegetables and speck. Beef is an important ingredient in the local cuisine of Trentino. A typical dish from the Garda Lake area is the "Carne Salada e Fasoi", salted beef with beans.
Trentino is not a typical pasta region, it is a region where they eat polenta. Polenta is cornmeal prepared with boiled water.
Goulash and Sachertorte are one of my favorite dishes in Trentino. Goulash is originally from Hungary, and Sachertorte (chocolate cake) from Vienna, Austria. Trentino is lovely and the Trentini are very proud of their region. They aren't huge travellers, they like to stay at home with their families and friends. Their home are the mountains surrounding them where they hunt, ski, climb and hike. They like to go up to the malga where the cows graze in summer and from their milk they make lovely cheeses.
Sometimes I miss the traditional plates of Trentino, but I can't have everything isn't it? Even if I love polenta, Trentino does not have the typical Tuscan and Umbrian 'pici' which I also like very much.
A friend of mine who lives in the Castiglione del Lago area is not 100% Trentino, but his mother is. Last Monday he invited us for a special Trentino dinner at his home with his mother and brother. For a moment I felt like being in Trentino. I enjoyed the food. I brought with me a good bottle of Marzimeno wine, one of my favorite wines from this region.
The menu:
Trentino apple with salad, speck, polenta and cheese
Canederli soup and spatzle with spinach and cheese sauce
Main course:
Sauerkraut with potatoes, speck and cheese
Buon appetito!

It's highly tempting to create detailed and long action plans for your business but the truth is, the bigger your action plan (more number of pages), the more difficult it becomes to be followed by the whole team. That's why we found this one page quarterly action highly effective.
Why quarterly? It's the perfect amount of time to connect your long term goals (2-5 years) for business with your weekly planning and daily action. It's short enough to quickly analyze growth and iterate things while being long enough for the growth metrics to be meaningful.
Below is the one page action plan :
How to use it?
It's an easy to use plan with three key steps –
1) Select three "focus areas" for the quarter
– Focus areas are the areas where you will be putting in the best of your resources. Furthermore, these areas will help you in developing your business.
– Keeping one or two focus areas can be a better option at times. Never select more than 3 focus areas (priorities) as it shows that you actually have no "priorities".
2) Specify the criteria of success for each of the focus areas.
– It's tempting to dive into action plans directly but first be clear about what defines success for you in each of the focus areas.
– Be realistic about what can be achieved in 90 days.
– Criteria should be as objective and quantitatively measurable as possible. Pick " Key Performance Indicator" for each of the focus areas. The KPI helps you in determining your performance.
– Create 3-4 criterion for success.
3) Create key action steps and milestones for the quarter.
– Finalize your key action steps and milestones.
– Break down each focus area into 5-7 action steps.
– Keep it detailed but don't overdo it.
– Pick a team member responsible for the execution of the particular step in a specified period of time. While many team members might be working on a project, you need to pick one person who "owns" the task.
