Every young designer probably dreams of receiving a huge check one day from sponsors to boost a fledgling clothing or jewelry line. Last week the dream came through for designing duo Annelie Augustin and Odély Teboul (known as Augustin Teboul), who won the second Dorchester Collection Fashion Prize and a check of 30,000€ in Paris.
The Dorchester Collection is a group of hotels that includes the iconic Plaza Athénée on avenue Montaigne in the French capital, the Hotel Principe de Savoia in Milan, and The Dorchester in London. As the hotels are located in three of the fashion centers of the world, their managers decided that sponsoring fashion would be a good fit for the group.
"We're very much aware that young designers sometimes struggle at the beginning of their business, and those first years are very important, so we've been looking to help these designers, particularly with their first collection," said Julia Record, director of communications for the Dorchester Collection.
"Hopefully that 30,000€ check will allow them to take that next step forward and help to provide a global platform," she told Paris Insights.
Dorchester Collection's chief executive officer Christopher Cowdray added that the group was "inspired by the creativity coming to the fore." He said the group was confident that the winners would have a "thriving career."
The contestants for the prize had to meet certain criteria, the organizers said. They had to have managed their brand for at least two years, they had to be based in France, Belgium, the Netherlands, Luxembourg, or Switzerland, and they had to show "original flair, a possibility for commercial distinction as well as reflecting the values of the Dorchester Collection — heritage, craftsmanship, individuality, creativity, and innovation," Record said.
The five finalists displayed their creations at a catwalk show on prize night, which took place this year at the Plaza Athénée. The luxury hotel dates from 1913 and boasts of having been the favorite hangout of luminaries such as Josephine Baker, Maurice Chevalier, and Christian Dior. The young designers did their best to channel this history.
Ranging from classic outfits to an edgy gangster look, the collections delighted spectators and the panel of judges that included Elizabeth Saltzman, contributing editor to Vanity Fair; Kenzo Takada, founder of Kenzo; and Nathalie Rykiel, CEO of Sonia Rykiel.
The loudest applause went to Quentin Veron, a thin, tattooed designer who drew on his fascination with fur, the gangster era, and the Middle Ages to present a striking collection, with models in stockings, hats, and fur vests. He seemed the front-runner, but after a deliberation period, the judges agreed that the collection displayed by Augustin Teboul best evoked the spirit of "individuality, luxury, style, and craftsmanship, which characterizes Dorchester Collection's iconic hotels." The duo's work also demonstrated critical distinction and the potential for future commercial success, the organizers said.
"It's been a really great competition," Veron told Paris Insight. "The other designers were really good too, so it has been very interesting. Even though I didn't win, I'm of course going to continue my work."
As well as receiving an engraved Baccarat crystal trophy, the winners will be able to stay at a Dorchester Collection property in either Paris or Milan during spring Fashion Week 2013.
We wish to thank A. D. McKenzie for her contribution to the Paris Insights blog.

Kamukamu Learning Foundation (Kamukamu,) is a non-profit organization dedicated to the promotion of quality education in underprivileged schools in Uganda. Kamukamu is a registered tax exempt public charity.
The idea for Kamukamu first came to Board President Stephen Ssemaala over ten years ago, following his arrival in America from his homeland in Uganda. Stephen appreciated the educational opportunities America offered to him and his children, and he was looking for ways to expand such opportunity for the children of his native country. After he finished his college education and graduated from law school, Stephen formed Kamukamu in 2009 with the help of several American friends in Washington State. The name Kamukamu Learning Foundation was chosen to reflect the task and method for achieving success.
Kamukamu is a Ugandan tribal proverb meaning "One by one makes a bundle." It is our belief that helping to enhance education in Uganda requires educating one child and working with one community at a time. Our organization works with local and national leaders and with local communities in Uganda to promote quality education in both primary and secondary public schools.

This is the first time that I actually have things lined up to be blogged about! I have a few community service announcements to make since I've promised people that I'd do it, but that will have to wait for a few more days after these few personal posts I've been meaning to write.
These are random pictures I hold very dear to because of their significance but I'll show them to you now 🙂
This is the Prime Minister's Office, where I interned at last summer. Now that I found this picture, I suddenly realized that I have yet to blog about my this super amazing internship!
To summarize, I think this is by far the best, most valuable and meaningful internship I've ever done, just because I truly felt I made a difference and impact in my work place and wasn't merely an intern who photocopies and makes the coffee. In fact, I think my director photocopies more than me wtf.
The ultimate highlight of my summer internship is definitely meeting the amazing people who are doing such great things for our nation. Everyone in PEMANDU each has his/her own vision and dream for our country but they're all united under the same mission to make this place better regardless of their differing political views. To quote my colleague, we're not here for the government, we're here for the country and for the rakyats T___T
Actually I feel conflicted, because the other highlight of my internship is equally as awesome! Throughout my short two months there, thanks to my great supervisor/mentor Joyce, I was given very important tasks and projects to handle. I think the most valuable internships are those that made you feel challenged, fully utilized beyond your own capacity, and the ones that truly show you what it's like to be a contributing member of the workforce.
I did a lot of data analysis on Excel and made lots of confusing looking charts and graphs with pivot table, and my final analysis of the secondary schools was actually presented to the Prime Minister! Obviously I didn't get to present it, or I would have peed my pants.
BUT CAN YOU IMAGINE?? Never in my wildest dream would I have thought that as an intern I'd have been given a responsibility this big a scale! For all they know I could have screwed the data up! What if I had written "Suet Li sangat cantik" at the bottom and they would have presented it still!! (then najib will wake up from his slumber and go "siapa suet li?? mana?! wtf"
Anyway, it was truly an unforgettable time for me and I'm super glad I had chosen to go back home and help with nation-building, however small the contribution I'd made, rather than chose my other internship option in HK that paid a lot more.
I went around Putrajaya to take pictures one day because I'd never really been there before and I'd never thought it's THIS beautiful! I was angry at first at how much was spent on all these spectacular infrastructures but I can't deny that they're quite something.
This is one of the many bridges all over the city! I didn't have time to take the other bridges' pictures but I think it's worth going to putrajaya just to see the bridges.
On another bridge leading to the convention center.
Putrajaya Convention Center! It looks way more grand in real life
A couple getting their wedding pictures taken!
The view from Pullman. Look at that other bridge in the background!!
PMO at night.
Putrajaya's architecture is quite breath-taking, I only wish they'd maintain it better than this after all that money spent.
This is not putrajaya wtf. This is taken at Jimbaran Bay, Bali, when I was there last September.
We went for a sunset dinner and it was amazing T_____T I <3 Bali
Our table number! front seat 😀
Locals selling SUPER GOOD grilled corn by the sea
I'm posting too many pictures of the sea but look at them waves!
T___T I love this picture so much!
Bintang beer, sun, sand and love, what more can I ask for!
BAKSO! A good bowl of hot bakso after a tiring day chillin' at the beach haha
This is at the temple in Tanah Lot!
Alex took this picture, not me cos I suck at taking good pictures, can only take pics of myself wtf

About Victoria Caroline Adams Beckham
Victoria Beckham may be dismissed by many as less talented than her superstar footballer husband David Beckham, but behind the big sunglasses lies a cute business brain.
As global power couple Posh and Becks, have a combined net worth of £165m according to 2011 Sunday Times Rich List.Victoria's net worth is valued at $450 million.
Wag no more, Victoria Beckham is firmly out from under husband David's shadow. Her fashion collections have won critical acclaim, along with a devoted celebrity following. Stars from Kate Winslet and Gwyneth Paltrow to Oprah Winfrey have worn her sharply tailored dresses, which carry four-figure price tags, and she may soon be able to add "by royal appointment" to her eponymous brand – the new Duchess of Cambridge viewed samples for her honeymoon wardrobe. Handbags were recently added to Mrs. Beckham's range and you'd need a Premier League player picking up the tab for one called the Victoria, a snip at £18,000.
Victoria, 37, made £10m from her Spice Girl days and while her fashion business so far funds itself without being a real money-spinner, it is set to be the source of her future earnings. Her autobiography and two other bestselling fashion and style books will have added to her fortune.

26 Aug Tax Debt From Home Foreclosure – Another Reason To Look At Bankruptcy
Losing your home to foreclosure is a heavy blow. Then a tax audit notice arrives in the mail. The IRS claims you owe more tax. Foreclosure, or even selling your home for less than you owe can have unpleasant tax consequences. A recent New York Times Business section article describes a couple in Allentown, Pennsylvania, who received a bill for $36,603 from the IRS for taxes due after their home was foreclosed. By far the easiest way to avoid this situation is to file for bankruptcy before a foreclosure sale occurs. Debts discharged in bankruptcy are not considered income for IRS purposes.
If you believe that the sale price of your home in foreclosure will fall substantially short of the loan debt, tax advantages of bankruptcy may outweigh the costs of filing, damage to credit rating, and other disadvantages of bankruptcy.The fault in the Pennsylvania case (see "Let's Give the IRS a Break" on Credit Slips) lay with Wells Fargo for incorrectly reporting the market value of the property, and not with the IRS. Lenders in foreclosure proceedings have been known to inflate the amount owed with questionable fees. Any attorney or CPA presented with a tax bill of this nature should carefully examine the lender's claims both of amount owed and the value used for the home to see whether any debt was actually forgiven.
However, many of today's foreclosures, sparked by stagnant or falling property values on homes financed through subprime mortgages, will involve property which cannot be sold for what is owed against it. In this case, the loss the lender takes by forgiving the debt is a real loss and the IRS liability to the homeowner may not be so easily disposed of. There are circumstances other than bankruptcy under which a forgiven home mortgage may be tax exempt, but none of them should be relied upon without consulting with an attorney or tax professional.

Axial fans can be found in applications ranging from laptop cooling fans to huge wind turbines. Other common varieties of axial fans are ceiling fans and engine cooling fans. Axial ventilation fans or axial exhaust fans are used in HVAC systems to preserve workspace air quality and comfortable temperatures. In industrial settings, axial fans are a common choice for exhaust systems, which evacuate harmful or unpleasant fumes from kitchens, factories, warehouses and many other settings.
They help to keep clean rooms contaminant-free, tunnels ventilated and gymnasiums cool. Axial fan motion is controlled by belts and pulleys, AC motors or DC motors. Computer equipment cooling fans require brushless DC motors because they produce a significantly lower amount of electromagnetic interference.
Axial fans and radial fans are the two varieties of fans available. Radial fans are different from axial fans in several ways, and chief among those differences is the radial fan's blade orientation. To an observer standing in front of an axial fan at eye level, an axial fan's curved blades would be visible.
A radial fan's blades are less visible, first because they are usually hidden by a solid enclosure, and second because they are positioned horizontally. These two fans are both designed to produce low, medium and high pressures airflows, though centrifugal fans can generate much more pressure than an axial fan operating at the same rotational speed due to radial blowers' "churning" perpendicular air flow, which is utilized in leaf blowers, blowdryers and air mattress inflators.
Axial fans can move large volumes of air at high rates, operating optimally as cooling, ventilation, exhaust and duct fans in lower pressure environments. Radial blowers can be more popular than axial fans as industrial utilities because of their increased pressure production capacity compared to their axial counterparts. Industrial floor dryers, for example, are usually designed using radial blowers, because they can generate a higher-pressure airflow at the same rotation as an axial blower.

Grade Schoolers now Learning on Handhelds in Class

A small cactus has been taped to a lamp-post in our working-class town. A live cactus, pot and all. Next to it is a note, running something like this:
Jamie, you bastard.
Why did you have to go off and fucking die on me like that.
I was going to buy flowers but that would have been a bit gay for you. So I bought this one instead.
Miss you mate,
The cactus and note are surrounded by flowers from other people. A small memorial.
It usually makes me angry when people leave off doing something because it is 'gay'. But not this time. And not just because you don't get angry with people who mourn.
It's because underneath the thin layer of butchness, it is the most open expression of affection between men that I have seen in some time.
And it does not matter whether we call that gay, or homosocial, or whatever.

The Horn of Africa
I saw a map today in one of the broad-sheets that showed the extent of the present draught effecting the Horn of Africa, with the worst affected country being Ethiopia. Journalists are reporting that this is the worst draught in this region of the world for more than 60 years – even worse than what was seen in the 1980's. The situation is so desperate that the Ethiopian people are feeding their cattle on the straw from their thatched roofs just to keep them alive. It hasn't rained there now for 2 years and widespread famine has become a reality. When I first read this article my immediate thoughts questioned whether or not we are in the time of the birth pangs, or the beginning of sorrows as described in the Word.
According to the Gospel of Mathew Chapter 24:3, Jesus Christ was once asked by his disciples, '…what shall be the sign of thy coming, and of the end of the world? And Jesus answered and said unto them, Take heed that no man deceive you. For many shall come in my name, saying, I am Christ; and shall deceive many. And ye shall hear of wars and rumours of wars: see that ye be not troubled: for all these things must come to pass, but the end is not yet. For nation shall rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom: and there shall be famines, and pestilences, and earthquakes, in divers places. All these are the beginning of sorrows."
It is true to say that over the years the world has experienced individual occurrences of wars and rumours of wars, famines, pestilences and earthquakes but are these the signs of Christ's imminent return? The answer to this is no, but when we see all of these things happening all at once then we are categorically told we are living in the beginning of sorrows. No other period in the world's history will have all of these events happening all at the same time. God in his Word has not set out to confuse us and so if all these things are happening now, then we are indeed in the beginning of sorrows.
Today, most of us in the Western world live in a secure bubble where we have allowed our minds to be conditioned by the media to view such occurrences of wars and rumours of wars, famines, pestilences and earthquakes as just the norm. Contrary to this, the Word tells us to be awake and to know the signs of the times.

Infections of dengue fever were confirmed in six patients after visiting Colombo, Sri Lanka in December for volunteer work. This marks Korea's first confirmed case of group infection of the virus, Korean health authorities said Thursday.
According to the Korea Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (KCDC) and Keimyung University, the eight ― five students, two school staffers and one professor ― were among the 35 volunteers who visited the Southeast Asian country from Dec. 23 to 31.
Two others are waiting for final test results from the Korea National Institute of Health, but the chance of infection is highly likely as they were tested positive in an initial test.
The government is monitoring the remaining 27 for possible infection but they have not shown symptoms of the disease. The KCDC suspects that the eight were infected after being bitten by mosquitoes while staying at an elementary school there for volunteer work.
The eight initially suffered from high fever and headache, but most of them have recovered and are expected to be released from the hospital soon, the KCDC said.
Dengue fever, a tropical disease caused by the dengue virus, is transmitted by mosquito, and not by human-to-human contraction. Korea has more than 100 dengue fever cases every year, but patients only contract it abroad with no cases of the disease spreading within Korea, Korean local media reports.

It's Productivity Week here at iPhone.AppStorm, and all week we're going to have app reviews and how-tos, all based on getting things done. Plus, we'll even pull some classic reviews out of the archives. Stay tuned all week!
By far, the standard by which most GTD systems are measured against is the original book, Getting Things Done by David Allen. Not only did Allen outline how exactly to get your life on track, but he also sparked a revolution, and many of the apps mentioned this week follow that very system. OmniFocus for iPhone is one of those apps.
There are varying levels of GTD apps, from the very basic to the hardcore, and OmniFocus for iPhone falls into the latter category. Sure, you could buy another GTD app, but if you want one that really goes above and beyond, you should look at OmniFocus. In fact, why don't you read more about it after the break.
Intro to GTD
Although we could dedicate a series of posts to the GTD system in itself, that would take a bit too long to cover, so let's gloss over the basics. The David Allen GTD system uses a flowchart to determine how your particular task should be broken down and completed. Once you know that you need to perform the task yourself (as opposed to delegating it or doing it right away using the 2-minute rule), then you assign a project and a context to the task.
Now this sounds complex, but once you start using it, the system flows into your life pretty easily. In fact, OmniFocus has provided a handy flowchart on their website to show how it works (PDF link). If you've ever considered buying OmniFocus, then you should go read that pamphlet now.
How OmniFocus Uses GTD
OmniFocus is a pretty literal translation of the GTD system. There's your Inbox, where all of your thoughts go before you have time to process them. There are folders for Projects and Contexts too, and of course you can assign times to the various items on your list as well. And that's all standard fare for many GTD apps, but where OmniFocus shines is in its ability to go above and beyond the basics.
First, there's the Forecast feature which is at the top of your daily task list. This gives you a view of how many tasks you have setup for the future, so you can plan accordingly. The result is always being one step ahead, which makes you more productive in the process. Say you know your Thursday is going to be a disaster — just plan ahead and knock off some of those other jobs early. No sweat.
The next feature I found completely by accident. At the bottom of your daily task list is a listing of calendar events, as well as a bar to show how long each appointment is scheduled to last. If you're the type of person who uses a task list in conjunction with a calendar (like I do), then this will absolutely change your world. Now you can perform tasks around your other scheduled chores, and the visual representation of each appointment even shows you what blocks of time you have available or not.
Deep Functionality
There are lots of other functions involved with OmniFocus, such as the usual GTD features: Contexts, Projects, etc. But other nice options with the iPhone version include Maps and Locations.
If you're out an about and you want to add a location to a task, you can do so with the built-in GPS in the iPhone. Once you hit the Map button on the home screen, you can drop a purple pin on either your current location, or another spot on the map if you prefer. Then you assign that pin to a specific context, and voila, you've got location-based tasks. Now you can flip through the map and see what tasks you have based on location, which is handy if you need to plan a trip or just want to know what you have to do when you arrive.
The OmniFocus System
The best part about OmniFocus for me though, is the ecosystem that The Omni Group has developed for the product. Along with OmniFocus for iPhone, there's also an iPad and Mac version. Now none of that would mean anything if the apps couldn't talk to each other, and fortunately, they can.
Syncing is usually a pain to do, but there are four options with OmniFocus: via MobileMe, with your Mac via Wi-Fi, on the Omni Sync Server (which is in Beta) or with a custom WebDAV server. Even better, you can have OmniFocus email its settings to your Mac or iPad, or have your Mac transmit its settings to the iPhone. In either case, making sure your devices are on the same page is a snap, and very easy to use.
On a personal note, I tried many different GTD apps before I finally settled on OmniFocus, and even though everyone told me that OmniFocus was the best way to go, the price scared me off. $20 is a lot of money for a gamble, and if you decide to completely get into the system and purchase the iPad and Mac versions, you're going to spend a pretty penny.
But now that the money is spent, there's no turning back. OmniFocus has everything I'm looking for and more in an app, and they keep improving on the ecosystem. For example, Forecast view was previously only available on the iPad version, and now it's on the iPhone and coming soon to the Mac. For me, it's become one of the apps that I just don't want to live without.
So would I recommend it to you, the reader? Definitely. Just know that this is a GTD app on steroids, so there is a bit of a learning curve if you've never been introduced to the system. But if you are familiar with how things work, then don't be scared to spend that $20. Trust me, it's well worth it.

This is a different version of Twilight, and it's told from Edward's point of view.
A little lemony, but not too graphic. Rated NC-17 for mature themes and language, and possibly for violence in later chapters.
Thanks to Evilangel6714 for the awesome banner!
One-shot: After taking a wrong turn at Albuquerque, Bugs finds himself in Forks, Washington. Now the bunny must win a battle of wits and wills, against a very strange vampire if he is to survive. Pretty lighthearted overall. Well, hope you enjoy.
This is an outtake from my story Hearts On Fire, between chapters 8 and 9. You don't necessarily have to read the story first, but it will help you figure out the acronym in the title...
Isabella Swan was moving back to WA and opening a club, Domination Station. A place where women could feel empowered and men could be controlled. What happens when she meets Edward Cullen, the preacher's son?
"He reached towards me, and in one fluid gesture he tore the front of my shirt down the middle, like a child tearing wrapping paper off a gift. Despite the violence of the action, he had barely touched me. I trembled furiously as I recognized the import of his words, and my hands rose protectively to cover my exposed skin. James had found the surest way to obtain Edward's vengeance. He would not merely kill me. His plans were much, much worse."

Chipotle Mexican Grill is facing a supply chain nightmare in the wake of a recent E. coli outbreak in Washington state and Oregon. The company's woes began as initial reports on Oct. 31 counted 22 illnesses connected to the chain. The company closed nearly 43 Chipotle sites in both states to help stop the spread of the outbreak. Not long after, a Washington woman filed a lawsuit against Chipotle claiming that a burrito bowl made her sick with E. coli.
Two days later, the number of illnesses spiked to 35, with additional illnesses reported in both states. The company also began deep cleaning and fully sanitizing the temporarily shuttered restaurants and replacing all food in them, testing the food in its Oregon and Washington restaurants and distribution centers, and hiring two food safety consulting firms to assess and improve its food safety standards in an attempt to retain consumer trust.
Meanwhile, scientists identified the specific microorganism responsible for the illnesses. The scientists believe it is entering the food supply chain through fresh produce such as lettuce, tomatoes, cilantro or onions, but did not rule out spices as a cause.
The outbreak follows earlier, unrelated outbreaks in Minnesota and California. In the Minnesota case, salmonella was linked to tomatoes used by the restaurant. According to a lawsuit in the Minnesota case, "a total of 64 illnesses and 22 locations were tied to this outbreak. The Minnesota Department of Health (MDH) has reported that 9 individuals have been hospitalized due to the severity of their symptoms."
Chipotle made a splash earlier this year when it noted that it had completed an initiative started in 2013 to remove GMOs from its food. The company was sourcing GMO soybean oil for cooking chips and taco shells, in addition to a number of products. Overall, the reception seemed to be positive. It's somewhat ironic that this shining anti-GMO supply chain, a widely popular initiative, is now taking a backseat to the foodborne illness outbreak.

At Rebound Behavioral Health, we recognize the sensitive nature that surrounds the decision to receive treatment for behavioral health concerns and substance abuse problems. Beginning with our admissions team, we remain steadfast in our dedication to making the process as comfortable as it possibly can be; providing the highest level of inpatient and outpatient care for individuals in the greater Charlotte and Lancaster area.
Overview of Rebound Behavioral Health
If you or another important person in your life has been struggling with addiction or a mental health disorder, then you are already well aware of the profound damage that can occur in the absence of effective treatment. However, if you have been investigating treatment options, then you may have also realized that selecting the right program can be a complicated and occasionally frustrating experience.
At Rebound Behavioral Health, we understand the many ways that individuals and families can be impacted by chemical dependency and mental illness, and we recognize the pressures and stresses that can be placed on the person who is trying to identify the best source of professional help.
Before you read anything else on this page, take a moment to stop, and understand three important facts:
- You are not alone.
- Help is available.
- With treatment, your life will get better.
With a broad range of focused treatment options that are specifically designed for adults, Rebound Behavioral Health is uniquely prepared to provide effective care in a manner that promotes stability and nurtures long-term success.
Elsewhere on this website, you can find specific details about the types of treatment and levels of care that may be best suited to meeting your needs or the needs of your loved one. On this page, though, we would like to focus on three essential aspects of Rebound Behavioral Health that we believe make our program such a special and beneficial place.
Close Personal Attention
Care at Rebound Behavioral Health is provided within the nurturing and supportive confines of an intimate treatment environment. By limiting the number of individuals who are accepted into our program at any one time, we are able to ensure that each person who heals with us receives considerable personal attention through all phases of his or her treatment experience.
At Rebound Behavioral Health, each person who is entrusted into our care is valued and honored as a unique human being, and we endeavor to establish the close bonds between our clients and the members of their treatment team that will facilitate both immediate progress and sustained success.
Experienced & Compassionate Professionals
When you or your loved one enters treatment at Rebound Behavioral Health, you will have the opportunity to work in close collaboration with a team of professionals whose expertise is equaled only by their dedication to compassionate and effective service.
Depending upon your needs or those of your loved one, the following may be among the professionals with whom you will interact:
- Board-certified psychiatrist
- Psychiatric and substance abuse nurses
- Substance abuse counselors
- Licensed social workers
- Recreational/expressive therapists
- Behavioral health technicians
In addition to the treatment experts listed above, our staff also includes friendly and knowledgeable admissions personnel and a host of others who are dedicated to ensuring that individuals in treatment and their families have the information and support that they need at every step along their path to a healthier tomorrow.
Short-Term Treatment, Long-Term Benefits
At the inpatient level, Rebound Behavioral Health is designed to offer short-term interventions that can lead to long-term improvements in quality of life. While the time that an individual spends in one of our inpatient programs will be relatively brief, we are confident that the beneficial effects of that treatment experience can have a lifelong positive impact.
When a man or woman first enters our inpatient program, he or she will complete a thorough assessment to ensure that our treatment professionals have an accurate and complete understanding of his or her needs. This assessment will also serve as the foundation upon which we will construct a focused treatment plan to help the individual achieve a state of stabilization and prepare him or her for continued progress.
Many of the people who receive inpatient care at Rebound Behavioral Health come to us with long histories of prior treatment and continued struggles. With us, many of these people are finally able to take important steps toward true healing. And, whether they transition into our partial hospitalization program for continued care or receive follow-on services via another means, they leave our inpatient program with a thorough plan and a renewed sense of hope and possibility.
Learn More Today
For more information about why Rebound Behavioral Health may be the perfect place for you or your loved one, please feel free to contact us at your convenience. We look forward to answering all of your questions and helping you find the solutions that you have been searching for.

|MartinLogan Prodigy Loudspeakers
|Friday, 01 June 2001
Page 1 of 3Introduction
For years MartinLogan has produced electrostatic loudspeakers that have been considered by many to be at the top of their respective classes. The Prodigy is MartinLogan's top-of-the-line speaker under their very-respected Statement E2 loudspeaker system. The Prodigy has been in production for close to 18 months. Although it utilizes technology from the Statement Loudspeakers, it does so at a much-reduced price.
The Prodigy measures 67 inches tall, 16 inches wide, 28 inches deep and weighs a hefty 133 pounds per speaker. The MartinLogan Prodigies retail for $10,995 per pair in standard wood trim finishes.
It's hard to deny that MartinLogan loudspeakers have a unique look. The upper two-thirds of the loudspeaker consists of a thin transparent perforated panel, with the bottom portion of the loudspeaker containing the low-frequency enclosure. The Prodigy shares a similar size and position in MartinLogan's speaker lineup with the ReQuests of the past, but that is where all similarities end. The Prodigy loudspeaker comes with a much-updated electrostatic panel and low-frequency technology.
The walnut side-panel veneers are a very elegant accent. Another intriguing addition is an illuminated Martin Logan logo that sits just above the bass enclosure, obscured nicely by the perforated panel. This looks to me like a distant neon sign that is subtle enough to disappear when it is not sought, yet providing a very cool detail for those who notice it. The Prodigy has bi-wire binding posts with paddle-style thumbnuts. This makes for an outstanding and convenient connection.
Electrostatic technology is not new. It has been around since the 1920's, yet only in recent years have many of the problems associated with this technology been ironed out. MartinLogan is clearly the leader in finding solutions. The electrostatic panel employs a very thin transparent sheet of conductive-coated material similar to Mylar, which has been stretched between two perforated metal panels. These then charge the panels with very low levels of high voltage. By supplying each of the perforated panels with signals of opposite polarity, the MartinLogan both pushes and pulls the thin membrane panel, creating music. In early years, there were too many problems to make this technology practical. Panels were insensitive and very hard to drive and couldn't take large amounts of power. Creating electrostatic speakers that could generate low frequencies was a challenge and called for the speakers to be enormously large. Because of this particular issue, MartinLogan has developed a hybrid electrostatic loudspeaker that utilizes a traditional electromagnetic driver, which is crossed over at lower frequencies, in the case of the Prodigy at 250 Hz. Although this has solved both the physical size issue and power requirements of a full range electrostatic loudspeaker, it has created the very difficult task of matching the two technologies so that they have no sonic differences or disassociation.
MartinLogan's newest low-frequency design incorporates what is called ForceForward technology. To understand the basic theory behind this technology, you must first understand the effects of room resonance and the theory behind frequency cancellation. In simple terms, resonances surround us at all times. In the case of your entertainment room, there are points of greater pressure, most notably behind and beside your speakers. These resonances can be responsible for increasing individual frequencies or in many cases canceling them, creating less than adequate bass performance. The theory behind the ForceForward design is to complement the front-firing 10-inch electromagnetic driver with a similar rear-firing 10-inch driver, which sends its signal out of phase, timed so that the two signals arrive simultaneously in phase at the listener's ears. This causes an absence of energy to the rear of the speaker, which in theory creates a virtual null, eliminating both cancellations and lumpy bass response and at the same time strengthens forward traveling bass waves.

Dem Posturing Directly Endangering Troops
While unscrupulous Democratic Party leaders bluster and posture for the benefit of their more deranged constituents on the left lunatic fringe, delivery of lifesaving equipment to the front lines is being threatened:
CAMP FALLUJAH, Iraq (AP) - The armored carrier has a grim black slash across its side, burn marks on the door and a web of cracks along the window. Like most of the Mine Resistant, Ambush Protected (MRAP) vehicles in Anbar province, this one has been hit as many as three times by enemy fire and bomb blasts. Yet, to date, no American troops have died while riding in one.And, before you ask, yes, I am questioning their patriotism. Especially majority leader Harry Reid, who is determined to subvert the US Constitution's separation of powers provisions, as well as offering as much comfort and aid to the al Qaeda propaganda effort as he possibly can.
But efforts to buy thousands more carrierseach costing about $1 millioncould be delayed if the White House and Congress do not resolve their deadlock over a $124.2 billion war spending bill.

Central banks including China, Russia, Turkey, and France are pouring billions into gold to diversify away from the US dollar and the euro; and all fiat currency, really.
George Soros, John Paulson, Marc Faber, Ron Paul, Peter Schiff — they have all spent the past couple of years preaching the reasons investors need to protect themselves from the government "elitists" by owning gold...
As always, public interest in owning precious metals surges in tough economic times.
Years of quantitative easing have millions of people fearful that their hard-earned cash will soon be worthless. Millions of Americans have taken their savings out of banks.
Peter Schiff has even opened a gold bank, encouraging individual investors like you to "put yourself on the gold standard"— even if the world has not yet accepted a return to a gold standard. Americans aren't able to invest in Schiff's bank quite yet, due to governmental red tape.
Nonetheless, history is being made in the gold and silver markets.
Gold mining strikes, quantitative easing, the threat of entering another war, as well as the escalating banking and debt crises are all impacting gold prices in a positive way — that is, if you're a gold investor...
One by one, investors are hedging the decreasing value of the dollar with gold coins and gold bullion.
But you must be careful not to get caught up in the buying frenzy without doing your homework. Not everything that shimmers is gold — and you can't afford to turn a blind eye to the counterfeiters and swindlers out there.
Don't let a company take advantage of you and your wealth. Let us help protect you and your savings.
Scammers have made millions off of naive investors who fell victim to dishonest coin dealers in their search to protect their wealth with physical gold...
Coin dealer Robert Early Grundy from Minneapolis was recently fined $295,000 and ordered to pay his customers more than $409,000 after engaging in multiple fraudulent sales. The lawsuit has yet to be settled.
There are hundreds upon thousands of cases just like this. Some go unnoticed and some are never resolved.
Don't be one of those cases. Beware of random Internet search engine results. Learn how and where to find reputable sources.
Here's how you can most effectively ensure sure you don't fall into the counterfeit trap...
10 Tricks to Avoid the Counterfeit Trap
1. Be skeptical of ALL unsolicited phone calls about investments from offshore salespersons or companies with which you are unfamiliar.
2. Do you homework and due diligence. If you don't do your homework, you could pay the price later. Look at seller feedback and forums if possible. Inquire about ALL fees and commissions to be charged, and make sure you fully understand the basis for each of these charges.
3. Use only reputable dealers. If the firm aims to coerce you into wiring them cash immediately, proceed with caution. Steer clear of any company that boldly guarantees large profits with "no financial risk."
4. Insist on seeing the certification. Be sure you get all the information about the company — and verify that data. Use a reputable third party to verify company's reputation.
5. Demand only stamped and minted precious metal products for small amounts. When buying small amounts of bullion, only choose those bars that are stamped and have serial numbers.
6. Pay attention to impartial grading. When purchasing bullion via the Internet, ask for documentation on the impartial grading of the bullion products. Legitimate dealers should have this form of certification. Check with an independent source before buying; make sure the third party is not on the dealer's payroll.
7. Analyze the slabbing. Make sure the slabbing and the coin go together. Fake gold generally does not include slabbing. Be wary of overly ornamental plaques or layers of plastic packaging your precious gold product and preventing you from adequately inspecting the piece.
8. Test using a magnet. True gold is not magnetic and therefore should not react to a magnet at all. If it does, it's fake.
9. Seek expert confirmation. Before finalizing the sale, contact the CFTC (www.cftc.gov) or other authorities specializing in consumer protection.
10. Evaluate complaints and negative feedback about your dealer carefully. When it comes to your dealer, don't risk even a single bad review mentioning fake gold. Find another dealer instead.
A few sidenotes:
Gold is undoubtedly the world's most liquid reserve in times of economic strife and uncertainty.
As the United States continues in a relative decline, the number of counterfeit gold sales are going to skyrocket in accordance with the sales of true gold.
Frauds especially know how to take advantage of the laws of supply and demand. Now more than ever there are crafty and unscrupulous gold scammers waiting to lure you in and take you for everything you're worth.
But you certainly don't want these crooks to hinder your purchase of the best form of wealth insurance the world has to offer.
The longer you wait to invest, the more risk you'll run into as supply dwindles...
Back in 2008-2009, at the height of the financial crisis, gold coin demand soared so quickly that the national mints were unable to produce coins fast enough.
To hedge the coming crisis (expected to be far worse than that of 2008), investors will be flooding the gold market instead of accepting the Fed's worthless "Monopoly money."
As demand surges, a supply crisis even more intense than the one the mints experienced back in '08-'09 will ensue. Trying to make a quick buck, gold scammers will seize that opportunity to try to sell you fake gold coins.
Don't fall for their tricks!
Use the checklist provided in this report, and use the additional resources attached to ensure you're buying gold coins with the most limited risk possible...
And if you're a first-time buyer, take a look at the Better Business Bureau's list of company profiles before conducting business with a good gold firm.
To check out other scams, reviews, complaints, lawsuits, and cases of fraud before you make a big buy, take a look at Ripoff Report.

Our Ministries
At Hope Lutheran Church and Student Center, we are involved in a number of activities that serve the needs of our local community.
Hope supports and encourages the work and many ministry projects of The Humble Walk (LCM @ UMD) and donates space and resources for the weekly CARing Project during the school year. The CARing Project is an after-school program for children from Langley Park, MD, who are at risk of falling behind in school because of language and learning difficulties. Hope members and friends donate school supplies, backpacks, and winter coats to the children in Langley Park. Hope donates rehearsal and storage space for Joyful Noise, a music group of The Humble Walk. Hope members and friends prepare "finals kits" for students, filled with snacks for late-night study sessions.
Hope members and friends donate grocery store gift cards that the pastor distributes in response to requests by phone and at the door from people in need of daily basics. We maintain a food collection box that benefits the College Park Food Bank at the Church of the Nazarene.
We also support the Prince George's County Day Center, a place for our neighbors in need, coordinated by Congregations United for Change and Empowerment. We have collected socks, underwear, and warm clothing, and we provide a mid-day meal there once a month.
From time to time, Hope offers a free series of yoga classes for our members and friends, students from The Humble Walk, and our neighbors.

Kid Konnection: Impulse
Three very different teens find themselves in a residential mental health facility for three very different reasons and, find that as different as they are, they have a lot in common. They form an unlikely friendship and try to look out for each other.
. . . These
kids are the best of the worst –
bright, capable underachievers.
It's truly bizarre
that they end up here. For
some it's addiction, for
others, abuse. A few simply
succumb to depression.
- Tony's parents are divorced – he never sees his father and his mother has problems of her own and fails to protect him from horrific abuse. He solves things his own way which creates other problems for him.
- Vanessa's father is always gone leaving her and her sibling in the care of their mentally ill mother. It looks like Vanessa may have inherited her mother's problems.
- On the surface, it seems Connor has it all, but nothing he does pleases his parents. He can't keep up with his twin sister.
Impulse, by Ellen Hopkins, is written in verse and is a companion book to Perfect. It's told from the points of view of the three main characters so readers get inside each of their heads and it's not always pleasant. These kids have been through some horrific things and some of the tools they use to cope aren't pretty. The book is rather dark and gritty, but true to life for so many young people so it left me feeling somewhat sad. I think it's an important book, though – for those who can relate to the characters as well as those who can't – because the issues explored are all too real for teens today.
I am in awe of Ellen Hopkins and her writing ability and think she is truly gifted. This book is over 650 pages long and it's all in verse. It's done so well that I knew the characters and struggled with their pain right along with them. They felt so real to me and I hoped they'd find their way to healing. I didn't love Impulse as much as I loved Perfect, but I still thought it was fantastic and recommend both books. There are some serious issues in these pages – depression, mental illness, sexuality, and abuse, to name a few, so they're not for younger YA readers.
For more children's books reviews, go to Booking Mama's feature, Kid Konnection. If you'd like to participate in Kid Konnection and share a post about anything related to children's books (picture, middle grade, or young adult) from the past week, leave a comment as well as a link on her site.

This was the first book by Hopkins that I didn't connect with the characters on any level, so ultimately I thought it was just okay.
May 5, 2012 7:54 am
This looks really good, but someone has to force me somehow to pick up a book in verse. It's like graphic novels – I resist at first new formats! :–)
May 5, 2012 2:05 pm
I've heard great things about PERFECT and didn't know there was a sequel.
May 9, 2012 9:13 pm
I really like her writing and I know from being around young teens that some of this stuff rings true with them!

Picasaedissimo is a plugin to display the latest or random images from a selected Picasa Webalbum RSS feed in your sidebar.
This is a modified version of the Picasaed plugin by Jon Link, since his stopped working and it seems he stopped developing it.
For comments and suggestions drop by at www.gofloripa.net.
V 1.2 Added i18n. Now including pt_BR, de_DE and en_US feel free to update them since i only whopped them up real quick.
V 1.3 Now using Snoopy instead of file_get_contents.
V 1.4 Better error handling
V 1.4.1 added italian language files (thanks to Gianni Diurno(http://gidibao.net/)
V 1.5 Added some debugging information (feed url) in HTML code. Fixed bug where images where not parsed when they had a different a/r.
V 1.6 some more error handling in the case we get a feed, but can't parse any pictures from it. added License information.
V 1.7 Added inline styles so it looks acceptable even with no additional styles applied. Updated FAQs.
- Upload
plugin-name.phpand the
langaugesfolder to the
- Activate the plugin through the 'Plugins' menu in WordPress
- Go to Presentation -> Widgets and add the widget to your sidebar
- Adjust position of the widget on the sidebar (optional)
- Click 'Edit' next to configure the widget:
1.1. Enter the url of the Picasa RSS feed
1.1. Enter an optional widget title
1.1. Enter the number of images you want the widget to display
1.1. Check 'Randomize Images' if you, yes you guessed it, want the widget to display random images from the feed
- Save your settings
- How can i adjust the look of the Widget?
Picasaedissimo uses some basic inline styles to make it work right out of the box. However it can be easily adjusted through your CSS stylesheet.
Use the CSS-Class "picasaedissimo_image" to adjust the image appearance, and the "picasaedissimo" ID to adjust the ul and li tags.
`.picasaedissimo_image {
width: 14em !important;
padding: 1px;
border: solid 4px #fff;
- picasaedissimo ul li {text-align:center;}`
Notice the
!importantto override the inline width of the picasaedissimo_image class.
- My Widget does not show any images! What's wrong?
Most likely the url you supplied contains an error or does not point to an valid Picasa Album feed.
Make sure the url points to a valid Picasa ALBUM feed and NOT to the Picasa account feed showing your albums.
- How can I avoid the image filenames beeing displayed while the images are loading?
This can not be avoided. What you are seeing is the alternate text of the image for people not wanting or beeing able to see images.
You can, however, supply a caption for each image in Picasa. When a caption is found, Picasaedissimo will use that as the alternate text instead of the filename.

We're now only hours away from Google I/O bringing us the latest announcements concerning Android, but that gives us just enough time to check out some last-minute rumors. It may be too early still for news of a Nexus 5, but could we learn of something a little different but up that same alley? One rumor claims that Samsung could bring word of a Nexus-like pure Android version of its flagship Galaxy S 4.
Supposedly envisioned to address demand for a higher-end premium phone that offers a Nexus-like software experience, Samsung and Google would announce a Galaxy S 4 Google Edition running AOSP code.
The rumor doesn't offer much in the way of details as to how this phone would launch, but one theory suggests that T-Mobile could be interested. That would actually make a lot of sense, as this GS4 GE would presumably sell full-price, and that would fit nicely in with the carrier's EIP system.
This has the potential to be big news, even if it's not a Nexus device, proper. Something that's "Nexus enough" but still has features like microSD expansion, no longer present on regular Nexus devices, could find itself a good number of fans.

A signature guarantee stamp protects against unauthorized transactions of shareholder investment securities. An official at a participating financial institution issues the signature guarantee for the transfer of funds between shareholder accounts. The financial officer checks the signature of the stamp requester for authenticity before validating the document by stamping with the signature guarantee stamp.
Initiate a request for a signature guarantee at your bank, credit union or broker's office. Your banking facility may require that you complete a request form for the transaction and guarantee stamp. Write a letter requesting a signature guarantee stamp for transfer of securities if your bank does not have a request form.
Present your identification to the bank official. If there are multiple owners on the account, all owners must show identification. Check with your institution to find out what forms of identification are accepted.
Video of the Day
Sign your signature in the presence of the bank official. All members on the account must also sign to acknowledge the transaction for transfer of securities. The bank official or broker will validate the authenticity of all signatures by signing his name and title. He will then issue your signature guarantee stamp that approves the transfer of funds to take place.
