click photo to enlargeWalking in the rain along a London street near St Pancras railway station the other day we came upon a shop selling picture frames and mirrors of all descriptions. It was one of those businesses that can thrive on a large scale only in a city. Passing its sequence of rather grubby and rain flecked windows we saw mirrors of various kinds, including the "sunburst" designs that were fashionable from the 1950s through to the 1970s, and which have re-appeared in recent years. Then we saw this rather odd looking mirror, of a shape that reminded me of a traditional English garden gate minus the diagonal bracing piece. As we studied it I saw the reflections, and the potential for a photograph, so I took out the LX3 and snapped this shot.
Earlier in the day we'd been to the Museum of London and seen the "London Street Photography" exhibition. That kind of image isn't part of my usual repertoire, but I do admire good examples of the genre, and thought we'd take advantage of this free show. The fact that we were there on the day after it opened meant that it was quite crowded, and visitors were being allowed in only as others left. However, we arrived reasonably early, so it wasn't the inconvenience that it would have been later. But, I did buy a copy of the accompanying book to study the images at home at my leisure.
As I processed the photograph above I wondered if the exhibition influenced my photography during the rest of the day because I took quite a few shots that include people in the street.

The Shopper Identity Protection trustmark is a feature available only to sites that offer the Shopper Identity Protection service. You should use this trustmark in places where people are likely to worry about identity theft. If you have the code properly set up, customers will see a modal pop up when they click the trustmark.
- Product page
A customer who looks at a product in your store is likely interested in making a purchase. However, if there are any concerns about your site's security, they may choose to look for the product elsewhere. Adding the trustmark here shows your customers that you care about their security.
- Checkout page
When asked to enter their name, address, and credit card number, the thought of identity theft goes from a remote possibility to a tangible threat. This is where you'll want to reassure your customers that not only are they on a safe site but they are also covered in the worst case scenario.
These are just two recommended locations where you may want to place the trustmark. Depending on your site's design and layout, there many be additional places where you can place the trustmark. Also, make sure to check out the engagement trustmark section to get the most out of your McAfee SECURE service.

If you've ever visited ebay then you'll probably be familiar with PayPal. In fact, even if you haven't, there's a good chance you'll have heard of PayPal as it is one of the most widely used, well known, and trusted online payment services around. Now, in addition to using it for shopping or transferring money, you can use a PayPal account for online betting because you can use it to make deposits and withdrawals at Titanbet.
PayPal is an e-wallet payment method that allows businesses and individuals with email addresses to send and receive payments online securely and quickly. That means you can use it to transfer money, make payments at online stores or even to deposit at places like Titanbet.
PayPal's service lets users send payments for free and it can be used from computers or smart phones, which means you can make secure payments at just about any time of day. Perhaps best of all, it also helps you maintain your privacy because you only ever need your email address and PayPal password to make payments.
To make payments with PayPal you first need to create an account. It's a simple process that requires you to enter a few personal details plus bank or debit/credit card details. Once your account is set up, you can then use your PayPal login details to make payments at thousands of websites, meaning you never have to share your financial details when making online payments.
It couldn't be easier. Just follow these simple steps and you'll have a new PayPal account in no time at all:
● Head to the PayPal website and click on the button marked 'Open A Personal Account'. Alternatively, and to make things very easy for you, you can just click this link to go straight to the PayPal signup page.
● Select your country, enter your email address and then choose and enter a password. Your password needs to be at least eight characters long and include at least one number or symbol. Ideally, it should also be something that you can remember but nobody else can guess - tricky but not impossible. Next, enter the displayed code to show you're human then click 'continue' to go to the next step.
● Add some personal details then have a look at the terms and conditions and check the box to confirm you accept them. Once you have completed this part of the form and so long as you agree and want to continue, click the button marked 'Agree and Continue'.
● You now have a PayPal account, but you need to make sure you can make payments. On the next page, link your credit/debit card or bank account to your PayPal account. Once your payment option has been added you need to verify your account to give you access to improved features. PayPal will send two small amounts of money to your card or bank account; they won't make you wealthy but if you confirm these amounts your account will be verified and you can start to use the various features on offer.
Congratulations. From now on you can use your PayPal login details to make payments all over the internet without revealing your personal or financial information. You can also deposit money into your sports betting account at Titanbet...
Titanbet is one of the few online sport betting sites that accept PayPal in the UK. It's nice and easy but if you're unsure how to make a deposit, here's a step by step guide:
● Log in to your Titanbet sports betting account and click on the Cashier.
● Click on the Deposit button and then the PayPal logo:
● Enter your deposit amount and click on 'Deposit'. You will be redirected to the PayPal website.
● If you have an account, log in and follow the simple steps on screen to make your sports betting deposit.
NB If you do not have a PayPal account you can create one by following the steps above or by clicking 'sign up for free' and following the steps online.
● If approved, the funds will be credited to your Titanbet Sports Betting account balance immediately and you'll get an email notification to confirm the deposit.
That's it. All done. Quick and simple.
As with most other payment methods, the minimum deposit at Titanbet is £10. Titanbet does not charge any fees for PayPal sports betting payments. A lot of PayPal services are free but you need to check whether deposits to Titanbet will incur any fees as you are responsible for any fees charged by PayPal.
Dear player,
This site is regulated for players located in the United Kingdom. Visit Titanbet.com and enjoy similar games, features, promotions, and benefits!

Google Buys Channel Intelligence, Invests in PLA Management
Google has acquired Channel Intelligence, a retail feed management and shopping performance company, for $125 million cash. With clients like Target, Philips, HP, and BestBuy, Channel Intelligence drives $2 billion annually in retail sales through advanced data management and product feed optimization.
Seeing the incredible growth of PLAs in 2012-13 (Google PLAs now account for 10.7% of total online retail spend while Yahoo/Bing is just 13.8% total), Google is betting that this huge boom will continue, allowing it to compete with Amazon and eBay for retail consumers.
Because dynamic PLA ads offer a direct path to specific products via retailer feeds, it's a no-brainer for Google to be deeply involved in the management and optimization of them. Google controls the advertising space, so investing in how the product information gets there not only protects their new cash cow, it manages and will develop it.
It will be interesting to see how the Google PLA space matures in 2013 as the company invests in the infrastructure around it. Will the Google SERP retail pages eventually become direct Amazon-like feeds where //info.thesearchagency.com/OptimizingyourProductListingAdsforBetterROI.html" target="_blank">"Optimizing Product Listing Ads for Better ROI."

Sales Presentation Mastery
Moving the Sale Forward
"Immediately following this class, I worked a sales campaign and won my biggest deal since joining PTC – and closed with my best quarter. Last quarter, I again did my biggest deal to date! The cornerstone of this sales campaign was a presentation to the management team. I am a strong believer in this training – the best 2 days I could imagine spending in class. I really appreciate the excellent coaching helping me interacting more effectively with customers."
– Sales Representative, PTC
In the Sales Presentation Skills Workshop, participants learn to deliver convincing, deal-closing presentations that are crucial to sales success in today's competitive market. Through active participation rather than lectured instruction, sales representatives identify their own presentation challenges, learn new skills and techniques and then immediately experience applying them in front of an audience. Participants learn to use voice, gesture, presentation structure, stories and metaphor to engage, persuade and influence even the most skeptical customer. The Henderson Group's unique and proven feedback model where instructors, peers, and videotape provide immediate feedback gives participants the ability to rapidly learn, reflect on and improve their sales presentation skills.
The results of this work:
- Craft a clear value proposition that addresses the specific needs of the customer
- Map specific product and services to customer benefits
- Differentiate products and services from competitors
- Project a personal style that builds rapport and trust
- Present ideas and information to customers

- Incorporating actual business scenarios into the presentation to support the overall presentation message.
- Holding audience attention through gestures and movement.

- Using questions to engage a passive audience.
- Delivering compelling conclusions with a clear summary and required next steps.
Delivery: Customized formats, including workshops, online, one-on-one coaching and consulting.
Consultative Sales
Influencing Through Questions, Listening and Negotiation
"This was an awesome class – excellent preparation for all aspects of sales management responsibilities, especially communications. I'll use these skills immediately."
– Apple
As products increasingly vie for the customer's attention, a company's ability to quickly build rapport while gathering information is critical. Transforming initial contacts into ongoing dialogues requires relationship management skills.
Participants learn skills that expand influence and deepen relationships – ideal for sales environments involving multiple decision makers and complex decision criteria. As they practice dialoguing techniques, participants dramatically improve their ability to influence others in small, informal meetings. Instead of talking at customers, participants balance their advocacy with inquiry to build openness and rapport with the customer. Increased sensitivity to customer perception heightens trust and deepens communication.
The results of this work:
- Increase up-sell and add-on selling opportunities
- Win and retain business relationships with customers
- Build a voluntary referral base
- Develop an ongoing network of opportunities
- Recover accounts where relations are lost or damaged

- Build rapport and relationship while gathering information
- Convert conflict into problem-solving sessions
- Consult with customers about deeper needs at more strategic levels

Delivery: Customized formats, including workshops, online, one-on-one coaching and consulting.
Mastering Telesales
Questioning, Listening and Consensus
"I learned skills that I know will benefit me when I return to work tomorrow. You did an excellent job coaching all of us. Your individualized feedback is truly remarkable."
-Oracle DMD
Sales representative
Telesales professionals learn to more effectively influence and engage prospects and gain commitment before the phone is hung up. Key questioning, listening and consensus-building skills improve the overall conversational flow, to win the prospect over, and move the call to the next step. Participants learn how to use vocal inflection, pauses and silence to demonstrate genuine interest and to create a strong telephone presence, establish a two-way rapport on the phone. Telesales representatives learn to accurately identify the business challenges facing the prospect and to articulate product recommendations.
The work is completely hands-on, interactively engaging and targeted at individual performance requirements. It is appropriate for telesales efforts focused on cold calling, reference building and product sales.
The results of this work:
- Fill the sales pipeline with qualified prospects
- Quantify the business opportunity with each prospect.

Specific Skills Mastered:
- Making the right first impression with a warm vocal tone and natural style on the phone.

Complete Communicator
Reaching Results in Every Business Transaction
"This course was invaluable! Not only did I learn more effective communication skills, I had a great time while doing so! "
– Yvette Winfield, Senior Systems Engineer – EMC Corporation
Sales representatives constantly communicate in diverse environments: sitting, standing, online, and over the telephone. This work draws from a broad range of topics to provide skills for each of these settings.
Sales people learn to improve their communications one-on-one, in small groups, standing before large audiences, and over the phone and Internet. Through videotaping and individual coaching, sales participants understand how their communication style affects others, and how to project themselves more effectively in every business interaction.
The results of this work:

- "Thinking on their feet" to better handle questions and objections.
Delivery: Customized formats, including workshops, online, one-on-one coaching and consulting.
The Art of Prezi
Prezi is quickly becoming the preferred alternative to stale and tedious slide-based presentation media. Prezi empowers users to seamlessly combine text, visuals, audio and video into a communication media that is more powerful, memorable, and dynamic than slides.
In addition, Prezi's unique capability for users to employ movement, spacial relationship, and 'big picture' storytelling in a way that makes the message far more 'sticky' and easier to understand than slides.
The results of this work:
- Craft prezis that illustrate a key Main Takeaway Sentence through the seamless use of text, visuals, audio and video.

- Increase audience attention span and retention.
- Structure presentations for maximum impact.
Delivery: Customized formats, including workshops, online, one-on-one coaching and consulting.
Super Storytelling
People don't buy products. They buy stories.
From that primitive stone-age tribe who sat around the fire and listened to stories to today's salesforce armed with the latest tech, the art of storytelling is as valuable as ever. Stories capture attention and make information believable, memorable and understandable.
Jonathan Gottschall, author of The Storytelling Animal, says science backs up the long-held belief that story is the most powerful means of communicating a message.
In business, storytelling is all the rage. Without a compelling story, we are told, our product, idea, or personal brand, is dead on arrival. In his book, Tell to Win, Peter Guber joins writers like Annette Simmons and Stephen Denning in evangelizing for the power of story in human affairs generally, and business in particular. Guber argues that humans simply aren't moved to action by "data dumps," dense PowerPoint slides, or spreadsheets packed with figures. People are moved by emotion. The best way to emotionally connect other people to our agenda begins with "Once upon a time…" (Excerpt from Fast Company: Why Storytelling is The Ultimate Weapon)
Because people make buying decisions based on emotion and then justify based on reason, Storytelling can mean the difference between winning and losing business.
By participating in The Henderson Group's Super Storytelling workshop, you will be learn to:
- Turn Case Studies into Super Stories That Cause Action
- 4 Types of Stories You Need
- Plot Guidelines for Maximum Impact
- Storytelling Technique
- Practice and Expert Feedback
Delivery: Customized formats, including workshops, online, one-on-one coaching and consulting.

Pacman Jones once spent $1 million in a weekend, and Mike Vick has now dropped nearly a third of that amount in one day.
According to GossipExtra.com, a celebrity gossip site covering Miami, Palm Beach, and Broward Counties, Vick's wedding at the Fountainbleau hotel in Miami Beach had a price tag of $300,000.
According to the report, the event included private poolside concerts by Flo Rida, Maroon 5, and Gymclass Heroes.
Guests included Eagles coach Andy Reid, Eagles running back LeSean McCoy, Falcons receiver Roddy White, free-agent receiver Plaxico Burress, and former Saints quarterback (and Vick cousin) Aaron Brooks.
Security guards reportedly collected cameras and cell phones, so don't expect to see many/any photos of the event on Twitter.
Though Vick can afford to drop $300,000 on a wedding, given that he received $35.5 million guaranteed as part of his 2011 contract with the Eagles, it doesn't seem like the most prudent expenditure for a guy who is still paying off creditors following the filing of bankruptcy.
Yeah, the memories of the wedding will last a lifetime. But that $300,000 plus the interest it could earn over the years could best something Vick eventually will need — especially if he's willing to drop that much money to commemorate his marriage.

Everyone is God speaking. Why not be polite and listen?
Start seeing everything as God. But keep it a secret.
Don't surrender your loneliness so quickly. Let it cut you more deeply. Let it ferment and season you as few humans and even divine ingredients can. Something missing in my heart tonight has made my eyes so soft, my voice so tender, my need for God absolutely clear.
In many parts of this world water is
Scarce and precious.
People sometimes have to walk
A great distance
Then carry heavy jugs upon their

― Hafiz, The Subject Tonight Is Love: 60 Wild and Sweet Poems of Hafiz
I can't seem to get my thoughts together enough these days to write anything coherent about what I've been going through lately, so there are a number of unfinished drafts in my posts folder. Perhaps time and distance will provide clarity and insight and the ability to communicate the jumble of events and emotions that have marked the past year, especially the past three or four months, but it's not going to happen any time soon. I've only recently accepted this as being what is and stopped beating myself up for it.
In fact, acceptance of what is seems to be the task in front of me right now. It's not that I've stopped envisioning what I want. I've been doing that for some time now, and still do. However, a big part of my struggles of late has been my disappointment that what I've envisioned isn't exactly what's materialized.
But that's a subject for another post.
As has always been the case with me, I often look to others to find the words that will express what I want to express or the words that will inspire some shift in my head and my heart. Searching out and sharing the words of others has been a huge part of this blog from the beginning, and in spite of the short circuit in my own head that's keeping me from writing about my stuff, I've managed to continue to post quotes du jour and other articles and readings by writers whose work I admire.
This has been my way of heeding the words of Bhagavan Das, "Be here now" (which inspired the book by Ram Dass). If I can't write, at least I can continue to share the writing of others. It is what it is. Be here now. Continue reading
Path to God
Made me such an old sweet beggar.
I was starving until one night
My love tricked God Himself
To fall into my bowl.

But all I ever want to do
Is keep emptying out

~Hafiz, The Subject Tonight is Love: 60 Wild and Sweet Poems of Hafiz
What is the difference
Between your experience of Existence
And that of a saint?
The saint knows
That the spiritual path
Is a sublime chess game with God
And that the Beloved
Has just made such a Fantastic Move
That the saint is now continually
Tripping over Joy
And bursting out in Laughter
And saying, "I Surrender!"
Whereas, my dear,
I am afraid you still think
You have a thousand serious moves.

Eric and Yoav discuss the history of graffiti and its origins in New York City as a background to the concept of collaboration and street art. The conversation touches on the dialectical nature of art collaboration, the interplay of art and politics, and how the commodification of graffiti and street art in NYC has mirrored the gentrification and commodification of the city itself. All this and more in the latest CounterPunch Radio.

FOG Quote
"Based on my experience, having the sortainer with all the Dominoes is absolutely vital. As you start to learn the tricks to getting the most from your Domino, you will want to try different Dominoes and the appropriate bits. It is very frustrating in you need to not only order and wait for delivery on a bit you did not get, but you also need to wait for the appropriate Dominoes to be delivered. The catch is that replacement Dominoes are sold in substantial quantities. The Domino Assortment has enough of each size to get a big project going. As you use Dominoes you will figure out which sizes you use and in what quantity."
From the Manufacturer
Festool Beech Tenons are made from all-natural, solid hardwood for strength and stability. The Beech Tenon serves as a true floating tenon in mortise and tenon applications such as furniture, cabinetmaking, casing and frame work. The flat, elongated design will not rotate, ensuring perfect alignment for both edge and face gluing. Suitable for both plywood and solid wood applications, the dense beech tenon will not expand or telegraph through material, leaving you with clean, flat, and consistent surfaces. The Domino Tenon is embossed with glue pockets, and is approximately 2mm shorter than nominal length, allowing space in the mortise for glue.

Wood Blocks for Pavement
Western Communities Have Neglected Opportunity to Develop Home Industry
Wood is Cheaper Ultimately, Easy to Lay, Gives Much Better
Traction and is More Sanitary ,
Paper by CARL FISCHER, Read at the Banquet of the Springfield Development League,
Tuesday, April 20, 1?f5.
I was assigned the subject
"Manufacturing Industries as
Town Builders, but with the
consent of the program com
mittee I have changed this to
the "Towns ns Builders of Man
ufacturing Industries." I asked
tills change because we all real
ize the place of Industries as
town builders but many of us
fall to realize the necessity of
our Coast towns supporting our
homo Industries. This applies
to all industries Wt I'll confine
myself to the lumber business
as tills is our chief industry,
the one which at tills time needs
tho most support and the one
with which, I am the mbst famil
iar. I am often asked the ques
tion: "What is the trouble with
the lumber business." This is
an easy question to answer, as
we might with truth say the
war, the tariff or wood substi
tutes. There is no doubt about
tho war interference and in the
opinion of the Republicans
there Is no question about the
Injury being done by tho tariff.
These, however, may bo but
temporary but that which may
becomo a permanent Injury to
our community and tho entire
coast is wood substitutes. Those
who are interested in wood sub
stitutes have spout millions of
dollars in making sentiment
against wood construction.
They have created a false
sense of security in these sub
stitutes and are adding greatly
to the high cost of living. They
have induced thousands of pro
perty owners tobuild their en
tiro buildings of brick and con
crete in places where wood in a
largo portion at least if built
right would cost .much less and
obtain a lower rate of insurance,
It is a fact that undor tho rat
ing schedulo used by tho board
companies in this territory, the
insuranco rate on n perfectly
constructed re-lnforced concrete
building without sprinkler pro
tection Is 70 per cent higher than
it is on perfect mill or wood con

It is attached. The concrete

which had been considered so

practically unnecessary.
Wood Saves insurance.
So I repeat that wood used
With intelligence in at least a
large portion of the building and

In advocating wood block pav
ing, I do so not so much because
of what it means to the devel

because it is sound business
economy. This paving was
given a "black eye" years ago
because of the use of round
cedar blocks set on a plank foun-
Wood Blocks Last Long.
You can Imagine how rough
this was and the deplorable con
dition as soon as the plank de
cayed. But the present day pave
ment of treated wood blocks set
on a concrete base is admitted
to be the best and most economi
cal paving there is. A few years
ago Mr. Smeede of Eugene,
while in England, noticed a gang
of workmen repairing a wood
pavement. Being curious he
asked the foreman how long the
blocks had been down. He was
informed that they had been
placed 34 years, and that they
were of Oregon pine. The foreman-
may havo been mistaken
about the kind of material as I
understand England has been
using Norway and Russian fir.
Our fir, however, is as good if
not better than the Norway and
Russian. It is to the life of the
blocks I wish to call your atten

asphalt pavements will last that
long? Our Main street has been
down 3 or 4 years and see its
condition. Already in many
places it is worn through to the
base, But it is no worse than
asphalt pavements in other
towns or cities. Until recently
many of us thought there was no

wo are learning at a heavy cost.
Now a perfectly constructed and
smooth, oven wearing surface
of creosoted wood blocks will

My study abroad experience was strange or maybe just different from what others would expect. I studied abroad in my fall semester of my senior year in Cusco, Peru. I lived in a hostel with other students. The program was separated from the university and there was only around twenty other students in the program from the United States and Australia. Cultural immersion was difficult. When most of my peers went out on the weekend, I stayed in. I had a boyfriend back home at the time and I spent time with him. After class, I would go back and skype with him for hours instead of exploring the city. I felt the compulsion that I needed to spend time with him. I freaked out if I didn't have internet access. I started to become isolated. Since I didn't socialize with the other students, I became singled out. I don't blame them. They did try helping me and now looking back, I am incredibly appreciative that they even reached out to me. I started crying a lot. I started not wanting to even go to class. I didn't eat a lot. I finally reached out to the program director and asked about services they could provide. He told me to stop talking to people back home. I said I needed more. Eventually, he was able to find me a therapist in the area that spoke English. I saw her for about a month. I don't think she knows this, but I am internally grateful for her. A lot of this ended up happening because I technically cheated on my boyfriend back home, which now looking back on it, should have been a sign of our relationship. I was so mad at myself and he really used it against me, which does make sense. He ended up convincing me that if I cared about him and our relationship that I had to go home around Halloween. I did just that. I convinced my mom, God bless her for being understanding towards me, and she helped pay for a round-trip ticket back home. I had a break. I talked to my study abroad office who were amazing. When it was time for me to go back to Peru, I cried a lot in the airport. I knew people were staring but I couldn't fathom how I could survive another two months in Peru. When I returned, I knew I was still going to struggle. I became involved in a local organization and volunteered with 4 year-olds every day of the week. It helped me immensely. I still struggled. I was still isolated. It was an incredibly difficult time for me.
When I'm looking back now, I have an appreciation for it. It taught me a lot about myself. It pushed me. I made mistakes while I was there that I regret. I wish I allowed myself to connect with the other students on the trip. I wish that I didn't go home for that week. I wish that I started volunteering sooner. I wish I took advantage of traveling in the area. I wish I was able to practice my Spanish more. But you know what, I didn't. It is what it is now. I am currently getting my master's in international education. It didn't push me away from study abroad. Even with all my challenges and struggles I had, I would still recommend it to others. I believe in it. I do think that says a lot about the field and the experience. I still struggle with anxiety and depression. I struggled with it before I went as well. This experience taught me a lot. Here are some lessons I learned that could possibly help others in the future:
- Practice self-care
Self-care has become an integrated part of my life. I think about it constantly. I think about the things that I do that make me feel well and I do my best to do them. Just because you are abroad, doesn't mean that you can forget about taking care of your mental self. Take time to invest in yourself. If you are constantly moving and going, take a break. If you are feeling overwhelmed, take a step back. There are plenty of links to articles online that discuss this important topic. Take time to research and become aware of what you need.
- Become connected to the community
If I didn't start volunteering in Cusco, I don't know how my trip would have turned out. All I can say now, though, is that it helped me immensely. I finally started to feel connected to the community and that I was a part of something bigger when I was there. If you are starting to feel isolated or just that you want to become connected, take steps and learn about what is there for you to explore. Connect with locals in whatever works best for you. For me it was volunteering, but if you have organizations at the university where you are studying abroad, join one.
- Do what works for you.
While people are studying abroad, they may want or expect different things. Your peers will be taking different classes and investing and exploring topics different than yours. Others will want to explore nearby cities or countries, while you may want to stay in the city where you are studying and become fully integrated into that. Do what you think is best for you to be able to gain what you want from the experience.
- It's important to prepare yourself for where you are going.
Every country is obviously different. Studying abroad in Brazil or Italy, you will be getting two completely different cultures and environments. The food, where you will be staying, the people, the holidays, accessibility, diversity, etc., will all be different. It is important to have some type of basic understanding before you go so you are not completely caught off guard. While I was in Peru, even though I stayed in a hostel, the internet was scarce. Many times it would go out and wouldn't be fixed for days. People who stayed in homestays had no access to hot water. These may seem like little things, but having to experience it a whole semester can be challenging if you are not prepared.
- The staff is there to help.
Maybe it's my depression or anxiety or maybe this is normal, but I felt bad talking to the staff while I was studying abroad. I didn't want to bother them. I thought my problems were not important. I thought I would just be a burden. It is important to recognize that staff is there to help you. Talk to a staff member who you feel comfortable with about your concerns and questions, before, during and even after your trip. It helped me. When I came back, I visited the office often and it really helped me unpack my experience and move forward with it.
- Don't compare your experience to others.
So my experience differs from others on many levels. Every student's experience will be different. When I got back home, I heard other's raving about their experience abroad. Talking about how many good friends they made and how much they experienced. I, on the other hand, was depressed for most of my semester. I didn't become close to anyone. I was a mess. I heard others and I kept thinking how I was awful because I didn't have an experience exactly like theirs. I found that it was important to remember that my experience was unique. That it helped me get to where I am and that no one can take that experience away from me. It became a part of my story and I needed to own it and accept it. Listen to others, but don't put your experience down just because you don't think yours was good enough.
- Take classes that fascinate you and push your understanding of the world.
My classes abroad taught me a lot about the culture and the history of where I was in Peru. It was great to learn, and sometimes it was interesting, but it didn't fascinate me enough. I loved being able to explore ruins for my classes and really see the history and architecture and connect it to where I was and what I was learning. But you know, if those things don't connect with you, don't feel like you have to take those classes. It can be interesting just to learn about a subject matter that is important to you but in a different worldly perspective. Be opened minded with your choices and get the best academic experience you can. It will be worth it.

Hundreds of millions of years old, ferns are among the most ancient of our flora. The fact that ferns don't flower is more than made up for by their highly decorative fronds or leaves. Many ferns originated in woodland or densely forested areas where little sunlight could penetrate. Their resulting shade-loving characteristics make ferns one of the best plants to brighten up those shady or north facing areas of the garden where something green but nonetheless ornamental is required.
Asplenium Scolopendrium Angustatum (Hart's Tongue Fern) is a hardy evergreen fern with beautiful lime green leaves. It thrives in dappled shade. Hart's Tongue Fern will eventually reach a maximum height and spread of 1 metre.
Dryopteris Wallichiana (Mr Wallichs Fern) a handsome fern with lime green fronds and black stems.
Many ferns have received the Award of Garden Merit from the RHS (AGM) – this is a good indication that these plants will perform well in our UK gardens. AGM approved Athyrium Niponicum Var Pictum (Japanese Painted Fern) is particularly ornamental with its silver fronds. It will thrive in moist shade.
Another AGM recipient is Cyrtomium Falcatum or the Japanese Holly Fern.
The AGM Japanese Tassel Fern Polystichum Polyblepharum, native to Japan, is quite architectural and will thrive in moist shade.
Native to the UK is Matteuccia Struthiopteris or the Shuttlecock Fern – another recipient of the AGM.
Lots more on the Fern Section of our website! Our ferns are available to buy online (subject to a minimum order value of £50) or from our North London garden centre – open 7 days per week.

Greetings from the body of Christ in Clarendon,
On behalf of the mission team, members, deacons, and the elders at Clarendon, I want to take this opportunity to tell you of our current plans regarding the church building at Kinlichee, Arizona on the Navajo Reservation. I have copied a satellite photo of the current church grounds, please see attachment 1.
This past year the church at Clarendon, along with the church at Gallup, New Mexico began making plans to replace the building that burned down about 4 years ago. The original building was completely destroyed. Since that time we have discussed several building plans, but each plan contained its own shortcomings and was dropped.
As a point of reference I have attached photos of the building that was destroyed by fire and the current meeting building, see attachment 2. The current building is a 40+ year old double wide mobile home with many structural defects. It was suggested that we should repair that building but after careful consideration and prayer we have elected to replace it.
This spring, thanks to one of our brothers, David McAnear, and the preacher at Gallup, Jeff Foster, we have a workable plan. In this letter you will find the construction plans for the new building, see attachments 3 and 4. We believe it will provide the church at Kinlichee with everything they will need to minister to the community as well as provide an excellent meeting place for the body. Since vacation bible schools are important to the Navajo people, we also believe it will play an important role in being able to host many VBS's in the future. This is something that has not occurred in the Kinlichee community for many years.
Our goal is to build the proposed building for less than $19,000. In order to keep the costs down we plan to reuse many of the furnishings from the existing building, such as tables, chairs, pellet stove, refrigerator and stove. The foundation is a pier and beam foundation, we had looked into a slab but the cost of that was twice the cost of the building. We intend to install ceiling fans for cooling in the summer. We plan to continue to use the existing pellet stove to provide heating in the winter.
Jeff Foster is overseeing the foundation construction and it will be started next week. Our intent is to complete this building over the summer. We hope to pre-build the framework of the walls here at Clarendon and then transport them to Kinlichee. The truss will be purchased prefabricated at Gallup and then delivered on site. Once all of the framework is built and delivered, we will erect and complete the building. We hope to have firm dates soon and we will send them out at that time.
We ask for your prayers on behalf of these plans and most of all that this facility can be used to promote the Gospel on the Reservation. If would like to contribute with labor or financially, we welcome your support.
If you have any questions regarding our plans please contact us. The church's phone number is 806-874-2495 or email email@example.com.
In His Service,
Will Thompson
Elder, Clarendon church of ChristKinlicheePlansLetter

And, why exactly, has it taken until "last month" to figure this out? This technology should have been released 10 years ago.
Anyway, where do I sign up to get whatever it is that does this?

I have to admit it, I am the father of Anna Nicole's baby.
I'm sure a DNA test will prove this even though I never met, or slept, with her; Anna Nicole, that is. Ok, I never met the baby either, but I think that's a plot given that I'm the father and evil, selfish people are trying to deny my claim.
As painful as has been to admit, I must think of the child, especially since she is worth a billion, or so.
Come home to papa!
Papa wants a big house, and a new car, servants, and lots of other stuff.
I'll be good to baby whatever her name is; she can pick her own Nanny and live anywhere she wants, as long as it's not with me.

Well, first off, let me say that spending 4 hours with Phil Simms if enough to make you suicidal.
He is an idiot.
He should run for political office as he has all the qualifications: 1) The ability to talk endlessly about things he knows little, to nothing, about. 2) The ability to change his opinion in the middle of a sentence, or, at least, within the same paragraph.
The game. Well, yeah, what game? Chicago has no defense; Chicago has no offense. How in the hell did they get to the Super Bowl? They were plainly awful; or awfully plain.
The commercials. Usually a bright spot but not this year. What the hell kind of a year is it when Kevin Federline has the best commercial? And, what's with this slapping shit? Is that starting a great, new, American trend? The first bastard that slaps me is going to be in a box and buried. What a bunch of stupid shit.
If I remembered the company who put that one out, I would boycott them forever. It's a Bud Light ad. Who drinks that crap anyway? It's water with urine added for flavor, and probably appeals to the kind of manly guys who like to slap each other while wearing high heals. No need to boycott something I never drink anyway.
Why do all the announcers who sell pickups sound like the folks who are having sex with their sister?
And, finally, why did the owner, and coach, of the Colts think that God decided the game. Doesn't God have better things to do, like, maybe, protect your troops in Iraq?
Maybe not.

Stability and control characteristics determined from tests in the Langley 19-foot pressure tunnel of a 0.2375-scale model of the Douglas XA-26 airplane are compared with those measured in flight tests of a Douglas A-26b airplane. Several designs of nitrided-steel piston rings were performance-tested under variable conditions of output. The necessity of good surface finish and conformity of the ring to the bore was indicated in the preliminary tests. Nitrided-steel rings of the same dimensions as cast-iron rings operating on the original piston were unsatisfactory, and the final design was a lighter, rectangular, thin-face-width ring used on a piston having a maximum cross-head area and a revised skirt shape. Results were obtained from single-cylinder and multicylinder engine runs.

Migraine affects between 11% and 16% of adults in the United States. This condition is associated with a significant societal and economic burden. There are many pharmacologic and nonpharmacologic treatment options for both chronic and episodic migraine, and clinicians should tailor these therapies to individual patient characteristics as well as disease severity and patterns. Additionally, patients frequently are not fully adherent to their treatment plan and clinicians should collaborate to increase this adherence. Familiarity with both existing and emerging treatments, as well as patient education techniques, is necessary to improve migraine treatment.

The Flipping Redheads to make much anticipated debut April 29
Jill Felice and Colleen Mandeville have far more in common than the color of their hair. The two redheads bonded instantly more than a decade ago while working as nurses at Hayes Green Beach Memorial Hospital. Shortly after, they strengthened their friendship while on the hunt for hidden treasures at local garage sales. "We became the 'Garage Sale Queens,'" Felice said. "We started repurposing things for our own homes as a hobby." As their passion for flipping garage sale finds grew, so too did their talent for creating one-of-a-kind pieces. The two toyed with the idea of opening their...Read More
