For some people, a bright and sunny attitude comes naturally. Others have to work harder to maintain an optimistic outlook on life. Fortunately, you can find some positive quotes here to make this task a bit easier.
Do not cry because it is over. Smile, because it happened!Ludwig Jacobowski
Don't shortchange the future, because of fear in the present.Barack Obama
Some people complain because God put thorns on roses, while others praise Him for putting roses among thorns.unknown
The importance of having a healthy perspective on life is a common theme in positive quotations from successful figures throughout history. By keeping in mind that challenges are opportunities in disguise, you can make the best of almost any situation. President Theodore Roosevelt urges you to, "Do what you can with what you have, where you are." Poet Walt Whitman adds, "Keep your face always toward the sunshine—and shadows will fall behind you."
If you're looking for practical tips, there are a number of positive sayings that share the speaker's own personal secret to success. Literary giant Johann Wolfgang von Goethe stresses that encouragement is better than correction when it comes to motivating people to make good choices. Marilyn Monroe says to trust your women's intuition, Martin Luther King, Jr. says to use time creatively, and Walt Disney urges you to embrace the attributes that make you one-of-a-kind.
A sense of humor can be a useful coping tool for maintaining a positive attitude no matter what life throws your way. As a result, a number of quotes about the power of positivity have a lighthearted look at life's ups and downs. For example, one popular unattributed quotation points out that it doesn't matter if you think the glass is half full or half empty because it can simply be refilled as needed. That's one way to look on the bright side!

"Crossing the Line" with Dijana Milosevic
Posted by Barbara Epstein on March 2nd, 2010
Dijana Milosevic recently returned to Belgrade after touring with her new production. Read on to hear about her experiences…
"We have just returned from a tour of our play 'Crossing the Line'—a production based on a book published by Women in Black, Belgrade. It tells the women's side of the war through the testimonies of women from different ethnic groups of ex- Yugoslavia. It's the first time the women's voice can be heard without being manipulated, distorted, or changed; it's genuine.
"We started to tour while the play was still being developed, to accompany Women in Black to launch the book. In the play, we're speaking in the name of all who have been victims: Bosnian Muslim women, but also Serbs, Croatians, Albanians, and others. It is an especially important thing to do in Bosnia and Croatia. It creates an opportunity for women to hear what happened to them and to their neighbors, and there is healing in the public acknowledgment. After each performance, we would start a dialogue to help women speak up.
"Our performance in December in Bosnia was an extraordinary experience. We were in the city of Prijedor at the cultural center. The event was arranged by a Muslim woman whose story is in the book; her name is Mother Mejra—that's the only name she uses now. Her son was killed and her daughter raped and killed in the detention camp, and her story is about her search to reclaim and bury their bones. She was invited to testify and allowed to search among the recovered remains. And among the thousands of bones she searched through, when she touched her son's bones, she had a vision and she knew it was he. She buried him and has devoted her life since to helping other mothers.
"I saw Mother Mejra in Belgrade the day before the anniversary of Srebrenica massacre, and I was deeply moved; it is so important to hear publicly her story. There was no money available to bring us to Prijedor, but she put together the venue, the PR, everything under nearly impossible circumstances. The performance was combined with a promotion of the book Mother Mejra wrote and the book by Women in Black. Fortunately, it was supported by the Charles Stuart Mott Foundation.
"The journey from Belgrade to Prijedor typically takes about 6 hours, but we traveled 14 hours to get there through a snowstorm. We felt strangely calm and patient, and it was magical to arrive in the middle of the night.
"It was freezing in the cultural center and we spent the next day setting up for the performance. The hall filled with people. It could be challenging for us to perform outside of Serbia, but when we travel with Women in Black especially we are very much appreciated, and here people welcomed us and were very positive about the work.
"Being in that beautiful setting in that small theatre, sitting with the light technician, was one of the most moving experiences I've had. People were sobbing. We had come to them with a woman whose story is so painful and universal. I had questioned whether we had a right to do this, is it the right thing to open this up? But by the end, the audience had experienced a sort of catharsis. We knew it was all right because people stayed for the talk after the performance in spite of the cold.
"For them, it was very important to hear publicly what had been done. It would be different if the Serbian government would say they are sorry. The current government was not in power during the war, but still it has not acknowledged the circumstances of the war. After the performance we went to Mother Mejra's house to eat and drink, and that too was very special. Humor is a big and important part of our culture, and when we gather, the first 15 minutes or so are like old times. But after that everyone turns to war stories. In Serbia we are having a future. In Bosnia, they are frozen in pain. When someone acknowledges this, they can start to move.
"Our tour in Serbia eventually took us to some of the small towns in the south. These had been economically destroyed in the war, and they are very poor and bleak. There is massive unemployment. Leskovac, for example, is very close to Kosovo, about 50 km. Serbian men from that area were drafted to go to Kosovo, where some of them took part in the atrocities. Also, Serbian refugees from Kosovo took refuge in Leskovac, and now they are afraid to go back.
"In Leskovac, it was the first time we had done the performance for ordinary Serbian people, not people in the city who are used to seeing a lot of theatre, and we didn't know what to expect. Again the hall was filled with people, and they clearly were deeply moved. When we ended, people were crying but they were silent, but then they began to speak. They can shield themselves against the media, but in our performance there is no judging. We create a special place, an island of safety where we can share these stories. These islands are growing bigger. For me it's important to create a place where we can cry together.
"We visited another tiny place with especially harsh conditions: Vlasotinac. We performed in a cultural center, but this time it was just a big tiled room, and it was under 0 degrees centigrade. We had been invited by a local organization that helps women who were victims of violence, but they didn't tell us there was no heat. Once we were there we did our best without any technical amenities at all. And again, the audience was amazing. Women came who had been working in the fields, Roma women, and lots of men—we were surprised. Throughout the show there was an incredible quiet. After the show we tried to talk, but it was too cold, and people were too shy to talk. There was that feeling again of being frozen in time and fear. But we stayed anyway and welcomed anyone who wanted to come and talk with us individually, and they came. They told us about their own experiences, and how moved they were, and how terrible it had been.
"In that last place our actor who is also our sound / light technician and I both got sick; we had been sitting still a long time in the cold. I was worried about the actresses, who had some very light costumes, but they were fine. They have a different temperature and adrenaline and different state of mind for the performances, and it protected them physically.
"Now I turn to fundraising to find money to perform in a few more places. There is so little culture coming to these areas and so little space for remembering and grieving, it is that much more important to do this."

Despite a highly eventful week in the news, not much has changed from a stock market perspective. No doubt, investors have grown immune to the daily reports of geopolitical turmoil, including Ukraine vs. Russia for control of the eastern regions, Japan's dispute with China over territorial waters, Sunni vs. Shiite for control of Iraq, Christians being driven out by Islamists, and other religious conflicts in places like Nigeria and Central African Republic. But last Thursday's news of the Malaysian airliner tragically getting shot down over Ukraine, coupled with Israel's ground incursion into Gaza, had the makings of a potential Black Swan event, which in my view is the only thing that could derail the relentless bull march higher in stocks.
Nevertheless, when it became clear that the airliner catastrophe was most likely a mistake born of incompetence among the rag-tag rebels rather than the start of an orchestrated terrorist attack on the West, I fully expected a recovery on Friday, which we got. And so the upward march of stocks continues.
In this weekly update, I give my view of the current market environment, offer a technical analysis of the S&P 500 chart, review our weekly fundamentals-based SectorCast rankings of the ten U.S. business sectors, and then offer up some actionable trading ideas, including a sector rotation strategy using ETFs and an enhanced version using top-ranked stocks from the top-ranked sectors.
Market overview:
Thursday's brief scare gave the S&P 500 its first single-day decline of more than 1% in three months, while the CBOE Market Volatility Index (VIX) surged 32%, which was its biggest single-day percentage increase since April 2013. Moreover, NYSE volume increased 20% over its daily average for the month. Friday's bounce saw the Dow Jones Industrials Index regain the 17,000 level, but the Wilshire 5000 Total Market Index was not able to get back above 21,000. Also, both the Dow and S&P 500 are encountering resistance as they re-approach their 52-week highs, and the Russell 2000 small caps are facing resistance from its 50-day simple moving average. I still think there may be more downside in store before summer is over.
Continued strength in U.S. stocks is being driven by expectations of continued low interest rates, a big jump in GDP growth, and improving corporate earnings. Indeed, all major central banks are providing global liquidity and low interest rates. And the start of earnings season has looked promising so far. For example, Skyworks Solutions (SWKS) is a Sabrient favorite that I have written about several times recently as a top pick in the Technology sector, and it reported blowout earnings after the close on Thursday, leading to a +14% day on Friday. SWKS is also included in the new Forward-Looking Value portfolio (which is offered as a unit trust through strategic partner First Trust Portfolios).
Treasury bonds continue to strengthen, with a low 10-year yield of 2.48% and 30-year at 3.29%. Of course, these persistently low yields continue to push investors into equities in their search for both income and total return. So long as the 10-year that remains under 3.5%, it should continue to be a favorable environment for equities. Assuming unemployment continues to fall, eventually there will be wage inflation, which would be the first step toward price inflation — and higher interest rates.
The VIX, a.k.a. fear gauge, closed last Friday at 12.06, which is right back where it closed the prior Friday, despite the ominous news of the week. It briefly spiked above 15 on Thursday after the commercial jet was shot down, but quickly retreated on Friday. In fact, some traders are suggesting that this new normal of low VIX has rendered it essentially worthless as a separate and tradable asset class. Today, it seems that VIX calls and index hedges are only good for protection against catastrophe and the rare Black Swan event, rather than for swing trading periods of market weakness.
SPY chart review:
The SPDR S&P 500 Trust (SPY) closed last Friday at 197.71, after touching its 52-week high (from July 3) on Wednesday. Even before the big new events, the upper line of the long-standing bullish rising channel has continued to offer extremely tough resistance. So far, however, the 20-day simple moving average has offered strong support despite some minor violations, and the mini rising channel I described last week is still intact, as well. Oscillators RSI, MACD, and Slow Stochastic have all worked off even more of their overbought conditions (a weak day like Thursday is good for hastening the cycle), but are still a long ways from oversold territory. Overall, the chart looks neutral at this level, awaiting a catalyst to help propel it in one direction or the other.
Some technicians have suggested that a full 50% Fibonacci retracement of the SPY move from its May low to July high will take the it down to a test of support at the 50-day SMA near 194. The 200-day SMA is all the way down around 185, just below the bottom line of the larger rising bullish channel. On the top side, the 200 level continues to serve as both an enticing bullish target and a potential ambush location by hungry bears.
Notably, the recovery in the Russell 2000 small cap index, which rallied back above the 1200 level from a May double-bottom formation, is now in doubt. The 50-day SMA first offered some support, but now appears to be potential resistance. Bulls will need to recruit some small cap enthusiasts.
Latest sector rankings:
Relative sector rankings are based on our proprietary SectorCast model, which builds a composite profile of each equity ETF based on bottom-up aggregate scoring of the constituent stocks. The Outlook Score employs a forward-looking, fundamentals-based multifactor algorithm considering forward valuation, historical and projected earnings growth, the dynamics of Wall Street analysts' consensus earnings estimates and recent revisions (up or down), quality and sustainability of reported earnings (forensic accounting), and various return ratios. It helps us predict relative performance over the next 1-3 months.
In addition, SectorCast computes a Bull Score and Bear Score for each ETF based on recent price behavior of the constituent stocks on particularly strong and weak market days. High Bull score indicates that stocks within the ETF recently have tended toward relative outperformance when the market is strong, while a high Bear score indicates that stocks within the ETF have tended to hold up relatively well (i.e., safe havens) when the market is weak.
Outlook score is forward-looking while Bull and Bear are backward-looking. As a group, these three scores can be helpful for positioning a portfolio for a given set of anticipated market conditions. Of course, each ETF holds a unique portfolio of stocks and position weights, so the sectors represented will score differently depending upon which set of ETFs is used. We use the iShares that represent the ten major U.S. business sectors: Financial (IYF), Technology (IYW), Industrial (IYJ), Healthcare (IYH), Consumer Goods (IYK), Consumer Services (IYC), Energy (IYE), Basic Materials (IYM), Telecommunications (IYZ), and Utilities (IDU). Whereas the Select Sector SPDRs only contain stocks from the S&P 500, I prefer the iShares for their larger universe and broader diversity. Fidelity also offers a group of sector ETFs with an even larger number of constituents in each.
Here are some of my observations on this week's scores:
1. After gradually moving up the rankings, ultimately achieving the top Outlook score last week, Energy has suddenly fallen back to fourth place this week, as the sell-side analysts and insiders have cooled their enthusiasm (upward earnings revisions and insider buying). Technology has returned to the top spot, albeit with a modest Outlook score of only 71. Although sentiment among both Wall Street analysts and insiders is unimpressive and the forward P/E is looking somewhat less attractive, companies within Technology display relatively solid scores in the other model factors, including a good forward long-term growth rate and strong return ratios. Regarding forward P/E, most of the sectors are looking less attractive on this metric as valuation multiples have become elevated across the board, with the notable exception of Financial (and to a lesser extent, Energy), which has allowed Financial to take third place. Healthcare moves up to the second spot this week, with the best sell-side analyst sentiment, a solid forward long-term growth rate, and reasonable return ratios. Energy and Industrial round out the top five.
2. Telecom stays in the cellar this week with an Outlook score of 5, as it displays generally poor factor scores across the board. Consumer Services/Discretionary returns to the bottom two with a score of 13, despite the strongest forward long-term growth rate, as analysts continue to revise downward while the forward P/E remains relatively high.
3. Looking at the Bull scores, Technology is the leader despite a relatively low score of 52, while Utilities is the clear laggard at 36. The skew among sector Bull scores is to an average well below 50, which is not particularly bullish. The top-bottom spread is 16 points, reflecting average sector correlations on particularly strong market days. It is generally desirable in a healthy market to see lower correlations and a top-bottom spread of at least 20 points, which indicates that investors have clear preferences in the stocks they want to hold, rather than the all-boats-lifted-in-a-rising-tide mentality that dominated 2013.
4. Looking at the Bear scores, Utilities is the clear leader with a solid score of 70, which means that stocks within this sector have been the preferred safe havens on weak market days. Consumer Services/Discretionary displays the lowest score of 50. Notably, all sectors are scoring above 50, which is somewhat bearish. The top-bottom spread is 20 points, reflecting low sector correlations on particularly weak market days. Again, it is generally desirable in a healthy market to see low correlations and a top-bottom spread of at least 20 points.
5. Technology displays the best all-weather combination of Outlook/Bull/Bear scores, while Telecom is by far the worst. Looking at just the Bull/Bear combination, Utilities is the leader, theoretically indicating superior relative performance (on average) in extreme market conditions (whether bullish or bearish), but right behind is a four-way tie among Tech, Healthcare, Financial, and Energy, so in fact there is no clear leader here. Telecom scores the lowest, indicating general investor avoidance during extreme conditions.
6. Overall, although not clear-cut, this week's fundamentals-based Outlook rankings look slightly bullish to me, mainly because the top five Outlook scores also display the top five Bull scores, with economically-sensitive Technology, Financial, and Industrial in the top five.
These Outlook scores represent the view that the Technology and Healthcare sectors are relatively undervalued, while Telecom and Consumer Services/Discretionary may be relatively overvalued based on our 1-3 month forward look.
Stock and ETF Ideas:
Our Sector Rotation model, which appropriately weights Outlook, Bull, and Bear scores in accordance with the overall market's prevailing trend (bullish, neutral, or bearish), suggests holding Technology, Healthcare, and Financial (in that order) in the prevailing bullish climate. (Note: In this model, we consider the bias to be bullish from a rules-based standpoint because SPY is still above its 50-day simple moving average while also remaining above its 200-day SMA.)
Other highly-ranked ETFs from the Technology, Healthcare, and Financial sectors include Market Vectors Semiconductor ETF (SMH), iShares Global Healthcare ETF (IXJ), and SPDR S&P Capital Markets ETF (KCE).
For an enhanced sector portfolio that enlists top-ranked stocks (instead of ETFs) from within Technology, Healthcare, and Financial, some long ideas include Broadcom (BRCM), NXP Semiconductors NV (NXPI), DaVita HealthCare Partners (DVA), Gilead Sciences (GILD), CIT Group (CIT), and SunTrust Banks (STI). All are highly ranked in the Sabrient Ratings Algorithm and also score in the top quintile (lowest accounting-related risk) of our Earnings Quality Rank (EQR), a pure accounting-based risk assessment signal based on the forensic accounting expertise of our subsidiary Gradient Analytics. We have found it quite valuable for helping to avoid performance-offsetting meltdowns in our model portfolios.
Notably, Gradient's prowess at evaluating the quality and sustainability of a company's reported earnings, its accrual accounting practices, and insider selling activity was once again demonstrated last week when Cepheid (CPHD) fell -9% after its earnings report. Gradient recently published a comprehensive report and a negative rating on CPHD, detailing a number of key concerns.
If you are more comfortable with a neutral market bias, the Sector Rotation model still suggests holding Technology, Healthcare, and Financial (in that order). But if you have a bearish outlook on the market, the model suggests holding Utilities, Energy, and Healthcare (in that order).

Neil Young, The Doors, Journey and Bonnie Raitt are now available to BBC radio DJs once again, after a recent copyright dispute was settled.
The four acts withdrew from the Mechanical Copyright Protection Society (MCPS) earlier this month, and in doing so also left the BBC's collective agreement with the organisation. As a result, BBC DJs were asked not to play songs by the artists, or tracks which sampled them, in order to avoid breach of copyright.
At the time, Wixen Music – who represent The Doors, Neil Young and Journey – took a tough approach to the problem, stating "The BBC can use Neil Young and the Doors any time they negotiate a licence with us to do so in a given programme. All we are saying is that we won't pre-approve uses or fees if the clients have not had an opportunity to review and approve the uses and fees."
It seems settlement has been reached on the use of the band's content on radio, however. The BBC released a statement today, confirming the return of the iconic acts to airwaves:
"The BBC has been able to find a licensing solution by working together with the music publisher Wixen Music UK and with the MCPS," the statement revealed.
"Works composed by the Doors, Journey and Neil Young are now mechanically licensed under an arrangement via MCPS and are available for use on BBC Radio and for the consequent download on BBC Radio iPlayer. The licensing solution enables us to include the works on both BBC radio and the BBC's radio catch-up services, however the rights are not available for television or other audio visual use via the BBC's collective licensing arrangements with MCPS."
Effectively, that means that the BBC will now be free to blast out the seven-and-a-half-minute extended vinyl version of Journey's 'Don't Stop Believin', but can't lay the track over their latest inspirational documentary.

|Lillian Gish 1893-1993
When I was a teenager I was besotted with silent films.
My walls were plastered with posters of Charlie Chaplin,
Buster Keaton, Rudolph Valentino and Lillian Gish.
I spent hours immersed in books with stories and images of these people and their times.
One book in particular "A Pictorial History of the Silent Screen",
a present from my father, gave me access to endless black & white
portraits, which I endlessly sketched in graphite.
Lillian Gish, who lived to the ripe old age of 100,
was always my favourite silent movie gal.
|Jackie Coogan as a child with Charlie Chaplin in "The Kid"
|Jackie Coogan as Uncle Fester
Jackie Coogan, who played as a child in
films with Charlie Chaplin, amongst others,
always intrigued me.
For those unfamiliar with him,
he is best remembered as Uncle Fester
in the original tv series of "The Addams Family".
He was married, for a time, to Betty Grable.
The Coogan Law is named after him.
When he was 21 Coogan sued his mother and step-father
for access to the considerable monies he had earned as a child.
Up until this point parents were legally allowed to keep all
monies earned by their children.
and Alfred Hitchcock Films.
For Mother's Day this year my elder daughter
gifted me a DVD copy of Alfred Hitchcock's
silent films (who knew!).
What a great gift!

Hi so I got in the wreck at about 2:30 Saturday morning and I felt completely fine up until after this morning. I actually went to get things checked out this morning at just a local clinic but all they did was take vitals and see if it hurt to touch or stretch it. at that time it didn't, so I went back to sleep.
when I woke up I went out to smoke a cigarette and i ended up throwing up twice, just water though. I have also had diarrhea all day as well. Now my back hurts more then it has ever. I'd really appreciate your help in this situation.
Oh yeah I forgot more details on the wreck. I was asleep in the back seat of my friends car, he fell asleep at the wheel doing probably 50mph and we ran off the road and hit a wall pretty much head on, the whole front of the car is smashed.
I was sitting up in my chair sleeping, with my head on top of the passengers headrest.
thanks, jarred.

Alcoholic art, crystals of liquor
Written by: July 12th, 2011 // Just for Fun, Science Art//
So it's appropriate that I'm a little bit tipsy while writing this.
Alcohol under a microscope! That's today's post. BevShots take photographs of alcohol crystallized on a slide, shot under a polarized light microscope. It can take up to four weeks for the alcohol to dry completely on the slide. It's art, distilled. And quite magnificent.
Mmm margarita. And do you like pina colada?
What pretty rum. I think the citric acid helps. Anyone for a pint?
Bevshots sell the pics (there's heaps) as metallic prints, on canvas or as merchandise – like hip flasks, for example. Look, I'm not big on promoting items, but these would make a sweet gift for a 21st birthday. They're stunning, and only $28. It's a nice personal touch if you know their favourite drink.
Oh, and vodka shot glasses! So cool…
There's even an iPhone app, so you can pick your poison and see the bevshots version. I imagine this will increase your popularity and attractiveness with every drink. Kind of like beer glasses.
Isn't this just the best mix of science, alcohol and art? They should be paying me for this kinda publicity (feel free to send me a gift, guys!)
2 Responses to "Alcoholic art, crystals of liquor"
These are great art/science pics: Love to stage an exhibition of these at our local pub during a planned science festival to be held in Bangalow NSW next July. Possible?
Please let me know if you'd like to exhibit them with us.

If you have any questions or need to make dinner reservations for minimum of 8 or more, please call Cajun's Wharf at (501) 375-5351, or send us an email at email@example.com
Cajun's Wharf doesn't allow cakes or balloons in the bar unless you have a confirmed banquet booked through Marilyn Greene.
We will allow cakes and balloons for groups that have confirmed dinner reservations in the dining room and semi-private rooms.
Reservation Policy and Minimum Food & Beverage Charges
The following document outlines the obligation of the Host when booking a reservation. A reservation will be confirmed only when the host provides a credit card number by phone or in person and returns this email document to us with the subject line stating .
"I agree to the terms as stated in this document"
Style and expectation of a Dinner Reservation;
Cajun's is a destination Seafood and Steak house. We have been operating on the banks of the Arkansas River in Little Rock since 1975. When booking a reservation for Dinner Service in our dining room, it is expected that guests will enjoy a multi-coursed dining experience, typically with two to three courses. As well, we feature a Wine Spectator Award Winning Wine list and a full bar with every category of specialty beverages.
Taking into account that our average entrée cost is $26.00, we have defined a Food and Beverage minimum for groups who have made reservations and for whom we are holding space.
Additionally, for weekend nights and all nights during the month of December, our smaller rooms within the dining room as well as large party areas out in the main dining room will be booked with at least two parties. We can easily provide a multi-coursed dining experience for a group within a 2 hour time frame. Thus, a reservation does not provide a specific room or space to your group for the entire evening. (Another reason why it is important for your group to arrive on time). If it is your group's desire to occupy a space for longer than the two hours, may we suggest a larger banquet room which is designed for a single reservation per evening?
If this style of dining is not what you have in mind, we can offer a more relaxed environment with a much more casual menu in our bar area. As well, seasonally, our beautiful deck overlooking the Arkansas River can be a great spot to enjoy food, fellowship and entertainment. The bar is well laid out with ample seating and has many areas for groups to gather. We do not reserve space in the bar. It is seated on a first come, first serve basis.
Based on lighter demand for seating, we have more flexibility in accommodating large parties on Monday thru Thursday. So, we are able to reduce the Food and Beverage minimums for reservations made on those days. Please see below the specifics for weekday and weekend reservations:
Food and Beverage Minimums:
The food and beverage minimums do not include tax or gratuity.
Friday & Saturday Monday thru Thursday
Parties of 8-10 Parties of 8-10
The Food and Beverage minimum is $300.00 The minimum is $200.00
Parties of 10-15 Parties of 10-15
The Food and Beverage minimum is $400.00 The minimum is $300.00
Parties of 15-20 Parties of 15-20
The Food and Beverage minimum is $600.00 The minimum is $500.00
For parties over 20, the food & beverage minimum will be calculated on the guaranteed number of guests based on $35.00 per person.
For larger parties or if a private banquet room will better accommodate your needs, please contact Marilyn Greene at 501-868-9298 or email@example.com She makes all arrangements for our banquet rooms which accommodate 25-250 people. As well, she is our full service event planner and handles all off-site catered events.
Arriving on time and with your entire Group;
First, it is an important point of service that we start a group's introduction and order process at the same time and not staggered as later guests arrive. Thus, we will not seat a party until your group has assembled within (3) people of your confirmed head count. If the group is not ready to be seated in 20 minutes after the reservation time, we will break down (dismantle) the reserved tables and seat those tables with waiting guests. The reservation will then be placed on a waiting list for the next available, appropriately sized available table(s).
Secondly, Reservation policies are designed with the comfort of all our guests in mind. If a party does not start in a timely fashion, it will affect subsequent guests who are waiting for those tables. Thus, we can be more generous with seating standards during lighter nights such as Monday through Thursday. But, on Friday and Saturday evenings, our seating is in high demand and we will be very strict on arrival and seating policies. No Tolerance.
General Information:
1) The Host (Person Booking the Reservation) is required to confirm the reservation with a credit card.
2) The host understands that they personally will be responsible for meeting the minimum food and beverage requirement (as listed below).
3) If the group has not met the minimum as set, the host will be billed for the difference at the conclusion of dinner. The food and beverage minimums do not include tax or gratuity.
4) A server can prepare separate checks for individuals or couples within the group if prearrangements have been made or this request is made clear to the server at the beginning of dinner. However, they will not be able to split portions of items and assign them to multiple checks.
In the Event of Cancellation:
The reservation can be cancelled up to 48 hours in advance of the reservation time without any charge to your credit card. If the reservation is cancelled anytime after the 48 hour period has expired, there will be a $100.00 charge to your credit card.
During the month of December, there will be a $200 charge for cancellations made after the 48 hour period has expired. Also, any party to fail to show for your reservation, without calling to cancel, will be charged $250.00.
If you call to cancel a reservation, please speak to a member of management. There will be a cancellation number given to you at the time you call to cancel. Please retain this number for your records. No one other than a member of our management team can accept a cancellation or provide a cancellation number.
Return of this email document to us with the subject line stating "I agree to the terms as stated in this document" or by checking the box in paragraph #1 that "you agree to the terms as stated in this document" will guarantee your reservation and confirm that, as the host of the group, you are the responsible party for the minimum food and beverage charges.
Please complete the following:
Day and Date:
Name of Group:
Business Phone Number:
Cell Phone Number:
Arrival Time:

We look forward to serving your group and providing a great dining experience and our best Cajun hospitality.

If you are a truck owner, then surely you are looking for ways on how you can minimize fuel consumption for your fleet and maximize production. After acquiring a stable fleet of trucks from a reputable supplier of heavy duty semi trucks for sale, your next challenge is to ensure that your trucks operate efficiently to help you maximize production.
To fight the challenges of fuel consumption, the following aftermarket strategies can help you save fuel in your trucks and avoid costly downtime. From reliable suppliers of heavy duty semi trucks for sale, you can get trucks to meet your specific requirements for a particular industry.
Install aerodynamic aids: Some of the aerodynamic gadgets you can install in your trucks to save fuel include air deflectors. Experts believe that by installing the deflectors, they disrupt airflow and reduce air resistance, which eventually influences fuel efficiency. They are suitable for driving conditions of 80 kilometers per hour.
Air deflectors are popular and available from reliable aftermarket suppliers at affordable prices. Suppliers offering light and heavy duty semi trucks for sale often have connections with suppliers of aftermarket devices and can give advice on the ideal gadgets for your truck.
Install information technology systems: Modern route planning systems can help you save fuel in trucks. At the time of purchase, you can find out from a Japan truck manufacturer if they offer such extra devices to their customers.
The idea behind using such gadgets is to help you locate directions quickly, especially if you are delivering to unfamiliar locations. Driving round and round in search of directions means you will take longer hours on the road, leading to higher fuel consumption.
Install the right ancillary equipment: While you may need to install extra features such as cranes or refrigeration unit to your truck, you should remember that these equipment lead to a higher consumption of fuel. The best way to install them is to match the units to the engine capacity of the truck.
For instance, if you install a fridge motor with a larger capacity on your truck, it causes the truck's motor to run harder than it should, which eventually leads to higher fuel consumption. Work together with your heavy duty truck manufacturer to get the right devices and capacities you should install in your truck at fuel-efficient level.
Use fuel-efficient driving techniques: Careful driving in good conditions can reduce fuel consumption by a reasonable margin of up to 30 percent. By understanding how driving conditions and styles affect your truck's fuel consumption, you can save greatly on fuel and maintenance.
Besides, practices such as vehicle idling can lead to more fuel usage by trucks. Avoid such problems by educating your drivers to switch off the engine when not in use.
Other tangibles: Other conditions such as the location of your dealer can have direct influence on fuel consumption. A dealer located miles away will require that you travel long distances to meet him. In addition, ensure that your drivers are comfortable in the trucks because if they do, they will drive them in a fuel efficient manner.
Once you acquire your light-duty trucks, follow these tips and save fuel.

John Paul Ouvrier, The Wizard of Youth, began his career in the fitness industry by selling exercise equipment in Los Angeles nearly 20 years ago. His background as a professional ballroom dancer led to an easy transition of taking proper movement, and translating that to selling exercise equipment.
However, he noticed a growing problem: People didn't do anything with their old equipment once they stopped using it. More often than not, it could not be sold, or given away.
John's store and countless others across the United States throw old equipment away every week. John's co-workers and his brother, Matt would try and give as much away as they could to those in need, but nothing was officially organized. Eventually, there was too much equipment, and the needs of those in need too great to not organize a body of dedicated people to officiate a donation program. Hence, Fitness 4 Charity was born.
A personal note from Mr. Ouvrier
We would like to take this moment to thank the thousands of people over the past 20 years who have donated equipment to my brother and I. You probably don't know how many children, and adults in need whose lives you have changed for the better. Thanks to your kind gifts, we have been able to put this not for profit company together to continue to sponsor those that would not get another chance at health in such a magnificent way. You are the unsung hero's today. God bless you.
Please take a moment and click on our ever growing list of sponsored links that help us out. If their services are something you need, please tell them we sent you! If you are reading this, and you have received equipment from us over the years, please email us a picture and success story, and we will include you in our photo album. Don't hesitate to write us for any reason, you're kind gifts and or usage of those gifts have made you part of our family, and that means you're not a stranger here.
Best of health to all,

text: BUSINESS Summer's big dogs will be chasing Fox 5:00 AM PDT 4/22/2008 by Carl DiOrio , AP FACEBOOK TWITTER EMAIL ME Empty Fox is sitting in the pole position.With one weekend to go before the start of the year's most important boxoffice season, Fox is No. 1 in the domestic market-share race with 18.8% and $473 million in 2008 grosses, according to Nielsen EDI data. But No. 2 Warner Bros. — boasting a 14.7% market share on $370.4 million — will be gunning to overtake the leader on the strength of a turbocharged summer slate.By contrast, Fox has charted a more conservative summer course. Its biggest releases include the Eddie Murphy comedy "Dave," bowing July 11, and "The X-Files: I Want to Believe," unspooling July 25. Warners has films on its summer slate that potentially are higher-grossing but also pricier and riskier. Those include the high-profile film adaptation of "Get Smart" (June 20) and the Batman sequel "The Dark Knight" (July 18). But Warners' gutsiest gambit comes May 9 with the release of the Wachowskis-directed "Speed Racer," a PG-rated action film based on a one-time Saturday-morning cartoon.Sony is positioned third behind the year-to-date leaders, with 11.7% market share on grosses totaling $295.4 million. Its summer sizzle includes Fourth of July weekend opener "Hancock," starring Will Smith, and the Adam Sandler laugher "You Don't Mess With the Zohan," opening June 6.Of Fox's six wide releases to date, the animated feature "Dr. Seuss' Horton Hears a Who!" has made the most generous contribution to company coffers and represents the industry's only $100 million grosser this year with $145 million. Other winter hits included the Hayden Christensen fantasy "Jumper" ($79 million), and more recently Fox has seen spring success with the Jodie Foster starrer "Nim's Island" ($33 million)."We have had this marvelously eclectic slate, which production has delivered and marketing has made the most of," Fox distribution president Bruce Snyder said. "I'm not sure at the end of the year that market share counts as much as profitability, but we'd like to lead in both." Warners' '08 releases have been topped by the $92 million performance to date of the prehistoric adventure film "10,000 BC.""We're in very, very good shape right now, and I think were going to have a record year," Warners distribution boss Dan Fellman said.That would mean two in a row for Warners, which last year rung up a studio-high $1.42 billion domestically.Sony Pictures Entertainment co-chairman Jeff Blake said his studio is well-positioned to keep pace with top market-share competitors for the rest of the year. Studio successes have included a pair of overachievers in "Vantage Point" ($72 million) and "21" ($70 million)."It always works best when you break the calendar year down in parts, and we've been pleased with the first months of the year," Blake said. "For May through August, we've got a lineup anybody would like to have, and that should put us in great position for the last quarter of the year."Sony's fourth-quarter releases will include the James Bond film "Quantum of Solace," set for Nov. 7.Meanwhile, it would be tougher for those currently ranked lower in market-share rankings to overtake the leaders simply on summer boxoffice. But the precise pecking order among the top studios is sure to change, with the huge summer boxoffice amounting to more than 40% or more of the 12-month boxoffice each of the past three years, according to EDI data.At present, Disney sits fourth on the year with 10.3% and $258.7 million, while Paramount is fifth with 9.2% and $232.3 million. Lionsgate is sixth with 6.8% and $170.1 million, followed by Universal with 6.7% and $168.2 million.Paramount won the 2007 boxoffice derby with 15.5% market share and $1.49 billion. The studio also topped summer tallies on the strength of DreamWorks Animation's "Shrek the Third" and the DreamWorks/Paramount co-production "Transformers."Paramount's summer '08 tentpoles are two of the industry's biggest: the comic book adaptation "Iron Man," which bows May 2 over the first summer weekend, and "Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull," which will debut over the Memorial Day frame amid industry expectations that the action sequel could prove the season's highest-grossing film." 'Indiana Jones' could do $300 million-plus domestically and possibly $1 billion world," estimated David Davis, managing partner and boxoffice analyst at Arpeggio Partners in Los Angeles.

To reach fertilization competence, spermatozoa undergo a series of morphological and molecular maturational processes, termed capacitation, involving protein tyrosine phosphorylation and increased intracellular calcium. Additionally we are shipping Calcium Binding tyrosine-(Y)-phosphorylation Regulated Proteins (6) and Calcium Binding tyrosine-(Y)-phosphorylation Regulated Kits (2) and many more products for this protein.
Showing 10 out of 28 products:
Study of (Co-IP) and reverse co-immunoprecipitation (Co-IP) of CBP86-IV (TSCBP86-IV or CABYR) in human sperm cell lysate identified phosphoglycerate kinase 2 (PGK2) as interacting partner of CABYR. Protein interactions were further confirmed by yeast two-hybrid system.
There is downregulation of both ROPN1 and CABYR in asthenozoospermic samples and importantly, a positive correlation between the expression of the two genes, suggesting that ROPN1 and CABYR co-expression is a prerequisite for normal flagellar function and sperm motility.
Low CABYR expression is associated with colon cancer.
The results demonstrate that depletion of CABYR-a/b sensitizes lung cancer cells to TRAIL-induced apoptosis through YAP/p73-mediated DR5 upregulation.
Short hairpin RNA-mediated knockdown of CABYR-a/b significantly inhibited the proliferation of NCI-H460 and A549 cells and resulted in the attenuation of Akt phosphorylation, which is constitutively active in lung cancer cells.
CABYR-c is highly expressed in hepatocellular carcinoma tissues and may play an oncogenic role in heptocarcinogenesis as well as its progression.
CABYR variants form a complex not only with the scaffolding protein AKAP3 but also with another RII-like domain-containing protein in the sperm fibrous sheath.
High CABYR is associated with neoplasms.
The expression of NF-kappaB was not significantly affected by silencing CABYR in 293T cells.
sequencing, cloning, expression and characterization
Northern blot showed that CABYR transcripts were expressed more distinctly in the fetal brain than in the adult brain, suggesting that this protein may play a role during brain development.
splice variants containing CR-B are expressed during spermiogenesis and assemble into the fibrous sheath of the principal piece; however, calcium binding occurs only to those CABYR isoforms containing CABYR-A
it is the role of CABYR in the formation of the fibrous sheath that is essential for male fertility.
CABYR expresses at the late stage of spermiogenesis and its isoforms oligomerize and bind with AKAPs and ropporin; which suggests that CABYR participates in the assembly of the fibrous sheath.
To reach fertilization competence, spermatozoa undergo a series of morphological and molecular maturational processes, termed capacitation, involving protein tyrosine phosphorylation and increased intracellular calcium. The protein encoded by this gene localizes to the principal piece of the sperm flagellum in association with the fibrous sheath and exhibits calcium-binding when phosphorylated during capacitation. A pseudogene on chromosome 3 has been identified for this gene. Transcript variants of this gene encode multiple protein isoforms. An additional transcript and isoform has not been fully characterized.

In front of the Lodge and looking over the beach is an infinity pool surrounded by sundecks. Located at the end of the pier, the pool together with the Lodge form the focal point of day-to-day life on the island. Perfect for lazing away the afternoon in awe of the view, or a quick dip to cool off, the pool is also excellent for young swimmers, water polo and basic dive instruction.
The pier extends 140m out across the reef giving access to the island at low tide. Along the pier is an Anihow roofed cabana over the reef - a favourite place (just one of many), to dine, or just to find peace, a cooling breeze, and some shade from the sun.

Social Networking: It's Your Privacy, It's Not Free!
Just a quick follow up post to my earlier one about the problems with Facebook hiding our updates from the newsfeed.
One recurring theme that I have come across in many forums and blogs is that Facebook, Twitter etc., are all free services, as we do not pay a flat monthly fee, or get charged a pound or a dollar whenever we sign in. Therefore, when it goes wrong, we should shut up and take it.
In one sense, that is true. In another, it is so wrong it's laughable.
Social media is inherently and potentially costly. We are providing these massive companies with a wealth of personal information in exchange for using their services. Although this is something that I have no real problems with. What I also don't take issue with is that Facebook then make money out of our personal data by charging marketers to target their advertising towards us. That's part of the deal - read the terms and conditions.
What I do have a problem with, however, is the assumption on some of our parts and their part that we have no say in any changes to privacy, or mistakes in their service, as we are not paying customers. WE ARE PAYING FACEBOOK - we have paid them with our name, location (just wait until they unleash their Foursquare-killing geo-tagging service at the end of this month), email address, likes and dislikes (spread even wider now with their new open graph 'like' buttons), and we have invited our friends to get involved too.
So, next time you have a problem with Facebook, don't be afraid to be a nag. Shout loudly, complain, blog, Twitter. Because you are a paying customer, and you deserve a better level of customer service! Don't be afraid to rock the boat to get postive results.
And before I retreat to my Threads-esque underground paranoia bunker, can I just say that I can guarantee: if a major record label tried this kind of sh*t, they'd be nailed to a cross.

God's Future Dealing With Israel
I will not break off My lovingkindness from him, nor deal falsely in My faithfulness.
–Psalm 89:33
Why aren't many Jews coming to Christ today? Some people say, "God rejected Israel because Israel rejected Christ." In other words, Israel had a chance to accept Christ, but they rejected the Messiah. They crucified the Messiah, and because of that, God is finished with Israel. He has now taken all the promises that belonged to Israel and given them to the Christian Church.
That is the heart of amillennialism. Amillennialism is a view of Bible prophecy that says when Israel rejected Christ, God transferred the promises that belong to Israel to the Church; and not only did God transfer those promises, but He also transformed them from literal promises to spiritual promises. In other words, there is no literal land that belongs to Israel. The land that should have been theirs has now been given to the Church, and that land is no longer Israel; it is Heaven. That's what an amillennialist believes: Israel rejected Christ, so Christ rejected Israel.
But the promise God made to Abraham and his descendants was not a conditional promise. It was an unconditional promise. After God made that promise to Abraham in Genesis 12, it was time to ratify that covenant. In Abraham's day, whenever two kings entered into an agreement, they would ratify that agreement by taking two animals, cutting them in half, and laying them side by side with a path between them. Then the kings would each hold a torch and pass through the animal pieces together, signifying that the fulfilment of this promise depended on each party keeping his part of the bargain. In Genesis 15, God told Abraham to take animals and cut them in two, so he did. He laid some on one side and some on the other, but then God did something unbelievable–He put Abraham to sleep. When Abraham was asleep, God appeared as a flaming torch and walked through those animal pieces by Himself, signifying that the fulfilment of God's promise to Abraham had nothing to do with Abraham. It had everything to do with the faithfulness of God. That is the unconditional promise that God made to Abraham.
In Psalm 89, God was talking about His future dealing with Israel. He said, "If they violate My statutes and do not keep My commandments, then I will punish their transgression with the rod and their iniquity with stripes" (89:31-32). God was saying, "If Israel disobeys My commandments, then I will discipline them." Israel has a long history of suffering. God was saying, "If you rebel against Me, then I will send the Assyrians. I will send the Babylonians. You will suffer." But look at what He said next: "But I will not break off My lovingkindness from him, nor deal falsely in My faithfulness. My covenant I will not violate, nor will I alter the utterance of My lips. Once I have sworn by My holiness; I will not lie to David. His descendants shall endure forever and his throne as the sun before Me. It shall be established forever like the moon, and the witness in the sky is faithful" (89:33-37). God says Israel's disobedience would result in His discipline, but it would not cause Him to break His covenant with His people.

Users can create and name areas in the map and name them after frequently visited places, such as home, work, school. These areas are called zones.
With zones, users are able to see crimes reported by other users in the map, and most importantly, receive real time push notifications when new crimes are reported.
We recommend to set up at least one zone, and no more than three. Also, to include an approximate area of 10 blocks around the central point of your zone. Zones that are too small will not generate any alerts, and too large zones will generate excessive and probably not relevant alerts.

This week, we're continuing to munch our way through intriguing recipes in The Best of Ukrainian Cuisine. It's been hot lately, though not as hot as usual (thankfully), with temperatures here around 97F/36C. There's still August to not look forward to when afternoon temperatures rise to 102F/39C and above.
I expect we'll be trying out more cool soups, such as chilled avocado and cucumber soups that I've been thinking about making. For now, we'll start with a cool, refreshing borsch that's super-easy to throw together and tasty too.
I really enjoyed this chunky borsch but kept thinking it would be even better if it were pureed into a creamy, thick soup instead. Since there were plenty of leftovers, I gave it a whirl the next day for lunch. The verdict? Even better! I think I prefer it this way, with a dollop of sour cream on top.
Kherson-style Borsch [printable recipe]
Adapted from The Best of Ukrainian Cuisine
- 2 cans diced beets, drained
- 1 cucumber, peeled and diced
- 3 – 4 green onions, sliced
- 1/2 lemon, pulped and juiced
- 1 tsp honey
- 2 tsp fresh dill, chopped
- 2 cups kefir or buttermilk
- 3+ cups filtered water
- salt, pepper
Combine all ingredients except buttermilk or kefir in a large bowl. Refrigerate until ready to serve. Add buttermilk or kefir just before serving, stirring well to incorporate. Adjust the seasonings and amount of water to taste.
(Any kind of cooked beets works here, whole or chopped.) Prepare as above but only use 2 cups of water. Puree in food processor or blender (or use an immersion blender). When ready to serve, stir in kefir or buttermilk. If the soup is too thick, thin it out with water.

Long Term Care
About The Video.
How does long term care funding work: This video from Lodders Solicitors highlights-
Dramatist Victor Hugo thought forty brings the end of our youth and at fifty we become young old people.
- Avoid becoming cynical: The importance of a positive mental attitude cannot be over-emphasised especially as people get older. An overall lack of cynicism will allow room for all sorts of positive emotions and the feeling of wellbeing that comes with hope.
- Embrace change especially that which comes from ageing: For some time the idea of 'growing old gracefully' has been hijacked by those who think that acting young, will in some way keep them young. Acting young is not the answer. Being. young in spirit comes from inside, from our understanding of where we fit into the ontological universe that we each inhabit.
- Take strength from everything you believe in: Spirituality, religion, or humanism whatever has grown in you over the years is the rock upon which you stand.
- Use your years of experience wisely: I believe wisdom is a product of knowledge and experience. Sensitively expressed wisdom can be a great aid to you and those around you.
- Make peace with yourself and everyone around you: Youth often traps us into a competitive cycle of being successful. As life moves on more important things are uncovered and the importance of harmony is revealed.
- Be happy: Omar Khayyam advises that we enjoy each moment because that moment is our life.
What's Next?
Get expert advice. There are ways to lessen the financial impact of long term care.
The cost of self-funding long term care in the UK will take your breath away. At the time of writing (2017) my elderly relatives pay up to £800 per week. Thats £3467 per month or £41600 per year. It does not stop there. Things like podiatry, hair dressing, dental work, travelling to hospital appointments even the daily newspaper is extra. So find out for yourself, knowing will help you prepare.
