Career InformationWhile the demand for high quality health care continues to grow, the shortage of registered nurses is projected to grow to 500,000 by 2025 ( http://www.aacn.nche.edu/education-resources/nrpbrochure.pdf). Such a large shortage results in highly competitive salaries, benefits, and more. Another great benefit is the many nursing specialties that are available. For example, a nurse can become a labor and delivery nurse, flight nurse, home health nurse, ER nurse, ICU nurse, or psychiatric nurse etc. The ADN program prepares you to provide safe, therapeutic, and competent nursing care in hospitals and other healthcare settings. You may also work as an entry level patient-care manager. According to the bureau of labor statistics, the average nurse's yearly income is $65,470. http://www.bls.gov/oes/current/oes291141.htm.
What Will I LearnThe ADN program teaches you skills of direct patient care that you can apply in any healthcare setting. It offers theoretical and applied instruction in classrooms, simulated laboratories, and clinical settings. It integrates education in adult, gerontological, obstetric, pediatric, and psychiatric-mental health nursing. Your clinical learning will take place in diverse types of institutions. Entry level courses in leadership teach you to direct and supervise ancillary personnel. The program allows a practical nursing exit point (certificate). After successfully completing the first two semesters of the program, students are eligible to sit for the Practical Nursing National Council Licensure Examination (NCLEX-PN). At this point, students could exit and seek employment as LPNs or continue on in the remaining two semesters and prepare to sit for the National Council Licensure Examination for Registered Nurses (NCLEX-RN). After completing all requirements, you will receive the AAS degree. Successful performance on the (NCLEX-RN) awards state licensure and qualifies you for the title of Registered Nurse (RN).
Our Experienced FacultyRepresenting a number of qualified and highly experienced nurses, our faculty members are trained teachers providing quality education to students. The diverse backgrounds of faculty members include specializations in obstetrics, pediatrics, critical care, mental health, and primary care.

- Japan retail: Live and let buy
- by Mike Kitchen

Japanese retail sales exploded last month, registering a 11% leap from the year-earlier level for their largest advance since 1997, as the nation embarked on a shopping spree ahead of the consumption-tax hike that went into effect at the beginning of this month.
The large-scale retailers enjoyed an even bigger windfall, their sales zooming 16.1% higher, according to the Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry. Clothing and cars were among the big winners, in terms of items.
By comparison, the February result had been just 3.6% higher overall, and up 1.3% for the big retailers.
That said, some major payback is likely when this month's numbers eventually rear their head, as the tax hike is likely to have dampened demand sharply.
Reaction to the numbers was relatively mild, with the yen stiffing a little as the dollar eased to ¥102.11 compared to ¥102.14 just ahead of the data. The Tokyo stock market, which opened 10 minutes after the release, started 1% lower.

Japan is the clear loss-leader in early Asian action, getting no favors from a stronger yen, though some individual names are sporting earnings-related gains. As this point, the Nikkei Average is down 1.4%, with Topix 1.2% lower.
With the dollar buying ¥102.11, compared to ¥102.31 at this time last Friday, the blue-chip exporters are mostly softer, with Sony down 1.4%, Nissan Motor down 1.5%, Renesas down 3.5%, and Panasonic off 1.5% ahead of its earnings expected later in the day.
Shares of recently listed Japan Display are dropping 11.8% as the maker of phone and tablet screens cut its operating-profit guidance.
Likewise, Honda Motor is suffering a 5% pullback. While its January-March profit more than doubled, much of this was thanks to a weak yen and front-loaded buying ahead of the April sales-tax hike, and the market appears more concerned by its fiscal-year profit-growth forecast of 3.6% (unchanged, but below consensus according to Kim Eng Securities).
We also have Suzuki Motors down 4.1% after India's Maruti Suzuki reported weaker than expected net income.
It's also worth nothing that Japanese retailers have failed to get a bump from the best retail-sales result since 1997 (see earlier post on this blog), as the sharp 11% gain for March was widely tipped and came mainly as consumers rushed to buy expensive items ahead of the April 1 sales-tax hike. Currently, it's Fast Retailing 1.6%, Aeon down 1.3%, J. Front Retailing down 2.6%, and Takashimaya down 1.7%
Nonethless, the weakness in Tokyo isn't raining on everyone. Mazda Motor is up 0.7% following its earnings, while robot maker Fanuc is up 1.7% on a bullish forecast, even as its fiscal-year profit slipped about 8% from a year earlier. Komatsu had the opposite situation from Fanuc, posting a strong profit gain but forecasting a drop for the current fiscal year, and its stock is trading 2.1% higher.
Another big winner is NTT Docomo, adding 4.1% to its price on the back of improved earnings expectations and a fresh stock-buyback program.
In any case, it's worth noting that trading volumes are reportedly light today and will likely stay so until mid-May, as Japan enjoys its Golden Week holiday season. The markets are closed tomorrow for Showa Day, and then shut for two days next week, but some Japanese take the entire two-week period off for vacation.

Back from the long Anzac Day weekend, Australia is nosing just a bit higher, with the banks and gold miners carrying the S&P/ASX 200 to a 0.1% gain .
Specifically… the banks: ANZ and NAB up 0.4% each, Westpac up 0.3%, and CBA up 0.1% — and the gold extractors: Newcrest up 4.8%, Evolution up 5%, Kingsgate up 1.6%.
The latter group is grooving on gains for gold, but such is not the case for iron ore, with spot prices on the retreat. This, in turn, translates to a 1.1% loss for Fortescue and a 2.1% drop for Atlas Iron. Meanwhile, BHP Billiton and Rio Tinto are down 0.4% apiece.
Ah, but then there's Goodman Fielder, trading more than 18% higher at 65 Australian cents (60 U.S. cents). This, after the food producer said it got (and promptly rejected) a 65-Australian-cent-a-share bid from Wilmar. (And if you're curious, Wilmar shares are up 0.6% in Singapore.)

It's not looking like a good beginning for a busy earnings week in China: Hong Kong and Shanghai are following suit after Japan tumbled in wake of Wall Street losses on Friday. The Hang Seng Index is currently down 0.4%, while the Shanghai Composite Index has lost 0.8%.
Tech shares are following the slide of their peers Friday on the Nasdaq. Index heavyweight Tencent Holdings is down another 2.6% after its losses at the end of last week, while software provider Kingsoft is pulling back 4.1%, and smaller rival Kingdee International Software Group is giving up 4.7%. Among online online-game firms, Forgame Holdings is down 4.4%, while NetDragon Websoft is falling 2.5%. Onlin
e-trans actio n-servi ces provider China Binaery Sale Technology is suffering even more, sinking 5.8%.
Property developers are also drag on the markets this morning, in both Hong Kong and Shanghai. Hong Kong real-estate shares are significantly weaker, with Shimao Property Holdings down 2.9%, Evergrade Real Estate Group down 2.3%, Guangzhou R&F Properties down 2.3%, Agile Property Holdings down 1.9%, and KWG Property Holding down 1.6%.
Over on the Chinese mainland, the property sector's top underformers include Beijing Dalong Weiye Real Estate Development (down 3.7%), China Calxon Group (down 3.4%), Wolong Real Estate Group (down 2.8%), and Vanfund Urban Investment & Development (down 2.7%).
Meanwhile, China Life Insurace is retreating 1.7% in Hong Kong after reporting a more than 28% slump in its first-quarter profit. Its Shanghai-listed shares are down 2.3%.
On the other side, however, banks are benefiting from some stron
ger-than-expec ted quarterly results. Agricultural Bank of China is up 0.6% after its profit rose 13% in the first quarter; China Minsheng Banking Corp. is up 0.5% after a 15% profit improvement; and China Construction Bank is up 0.4% following a 10% rise in its net income.

- Breath of fresh air for China?

While Craig Stephen is reporting that China is serious this time when it comes to its anti-corruption drive (see earlier post on this blog), Asia director of the U.S.-based Natural Resources Defense Council, Barbara Finamore, is out with a new report saying that, yes, China is also serious this time when it comes to fighting pollution.
Specifically, Finamore looked at amendments to China's environmental protection law (EPL), the first such changes since the legislation was enacted in 1989.
"Like many other laws in China at the time, the provisions of the [original version of the] EPL were vague and aspirational … It was easy for polluting facilities to pay the minimal one-time fees and continue to pollute, while local officials looked the other way," Finamore and her colleagues write in the report.
By contrast, the changes to the law — passed last Thursday — include some teeth. Specifically they create a new system of penalties in which the fines increase until the problem is corrected, and also allow nongovernmental organizations to sue polluters on behalf of the public, the report says. It also cites the inclusion of environmental issues in government officials' performance reviews.
"Once these new amendments come into effect, China will finally have a fighting chance in its war on pollution," Finamore and her colleagues say.

- China outlaws "The Big Bang Theory"
- by Laura He

It appears the Chinese censors are not big fans of the popular U.S. sitcom "The Big Bang Theory," as well as fellow television hits "The Good Wife," "The Practice," and "NCIS."
These four U.S. TV series have been ripped down from from China's major streaming sites as of Saturday. On the website — including Youku.com and Sohu.com — the original links display the message "This video can't be viewed due to policy reasons."
The removal of "The Big Bang Theory," which enjoys a huge Chinese fan base, along with others, has prompted an immediate backlash on China's social media. The topic has ranked on the Top 10 list on Sina Weibo (China's version of Twitter) since Sunday, generating more than 300,000 comments so far.

Taking cues from weak U.S. markets on Friday, most major indexes in Asia ended in the red on Monday (except Australia), as the Nikkei Average fell 1%, followed by a 1.6% decline in the Shanghai Composite Index and a 0.4% drop in Hong Kong's Hang Seng Index.
In Japan, the yen strengthens against the dollar on safe-haven demand and is now trading at ¥102.24, up from ¥102.15 in the prior session.
Exporters pushed lower, with Sharp Corp. down 2.6%, Renesas Electronics down 2.5%, Hitachi down 2.4%, Fujitsu down 2%, Sony down 1.1%, and NEC Corp. down 1%.
Among auto makers, Honda Motor led losses with a 4.5% slide. Nissan Motor and Toyota Motor are off 0.9% and 0.4% each.
Retailers didn't seem to get a big lift from the sales explosion in March, with analysts attributing the 11% leap in sales largely to a last-minute rush by shoppers ahead of April's consumption tax hike. (See earlier posts on this blog.) Fast Retailing is down 2.1%, J. Front Retailing Co. is down 1.7%, Takashimaya Company and Isetan Mitsukoshi Holdings are down 0.9% and 0.8% respectively.
In China, worries that a new round of market listings will tighten liquidity continued to weigh on the markets. The Shanghai Composite Index extended losses for the fourth straight day, dragged by property shares.
In Hong Kong, tech stocks led the Hang Seng Index lower. Index heavyweight Tencent tumbled 2.9%, online-transaction-service provider China Binary Sale Technology dived more than 10%, software provider Kingsoft Corp. sank 6.8% and smaller rival Kingdee International Software Group lost 6.7%.

The Effects of Test Lead Length on Measurement Accuracy
When circumstances require longer test leads, can you rely on the results?
Does extra test lead length introduce a variance in the results of your test measurements? Laboratory or field tests on electrical equipment often require test leads to be as much as three or four times longer than the standard length. For example, long test leads may be necessary for adding extra distance between field personnel and the high-voltage piece of equipment they may be testing, thereby increasing safety. In another example, monitoring a variety of electrical points on a large piece of equipment may require several test leads, a few of which may be longer than usual.
The extra length is useful in these situations, but can it alter the results of a test? Because much of the testing it conducts in the laboratory and in the field relates to power quality, EPRI's compliance specialists designed an experiment to determine the effects of test lead length when measuring voltage sags, voltage swells, and steady-state voltages.
Setting up the experiment.
The experimental setup comprised three basic elements, as shown in the Figure above. For simplicity, only one test meter and two pair of test leads are shown.
Four pairs of test leads, each of a different length.
One electrical disturbance generator.
Two voltmeters.
An electrical disturbance generator is a programmable unit capable of producing steady-state voltage and voltage sag and swells. In this experiment, a second meter was necessary for repeat testing to confirm the accuracy of the first. If the first meter registered an unexpected measurement, the other meter could confirm or deny the reading.
The Table shows the lengths of the four different sets of test leads used in the experiment. All test leads were made with 17 AWG stranded wire and included banana plugs on each end.
The experiment.
The test plan consisted of first performing baseline tests for the three voltage conditions: steady state, voltage sag, and voltage swell. The tests were conducted with 14-in. long test leads because the effect of lead length (as measured in voltage loss across the lead) should be negligible with such short leads.
Then tests were performed for the same conditions with the three longer lead lengths. The voltage readings for these tests were noted and compared to the voltage readings from the baseline readings to note the differences.
Five readings were taken with the first meter for each combination of voltage condition and length of test lead to ensure good lead contact at the point of measurement and a consistently working meter. The tests were then repeated with the second meter.
Little or no difference was noted between measurements of the same voltage condition using either meter. In fact, all five measurements at each of the three voltage conditions were in perfect agreement. In other words, for test lead lengths up to 693 in., the length of the test leads had no effect on the accuracy of the measurement. So don't hesitate to use that extra-long test lead set to take measurements from a safe distance or when unusual test setups require it. They'll be right on the mark.

Texas shootout might be tied to Colo. slaying
DECATUR — A man who led Texas authorities on a 100-mph car chase that ended in a shootout Thursday and may be linked to the slaying of Colorado's state prison chief is a paroled prison inmate, officials said.
The Denver Post reported that the man is 28-year-old Evan Spencer Ebel.
A federal law enforcement official who spoke on the condition of anonymity confirmed that identity.
Legal records show Ebel was convicted of several crimes in Colorado dating to 2003, including assaulting a prison guard in 2008.
He apparently was paroled, but Colorado Department of Corrections spokeswoman Alison Morgan said she couldn't release information on prisoners because of the ongoing investigation into Tom Clements' death.
Ebel was driving a Cadillac in Texas that matched the description of the vehicle seen leaving the home of prisons chief Clements around the time he was shot Tuesday night.
Authorities in Texas said Ebel fired on them when they tried to stop his car.
He eventually was shot by authorities who say he's essentially dead but is hooked up to equipment for organ harvesting.
Investigators were flying to Texas to see if Ebel was linked to Clements' slaying and the killing Sunday of Nathan Leon, a Denver pizza deliveryman.
Denver police said there was a "strong connection" between that killing and the Texas situation but didn't elaborate, other than to confirm their detectives were en route.
In Colorado, where Clements' killing shocked the state, officials were hopeful.
"We don't know yet exactly whether this is the guy," Gov. John Hickenlooper told reporters Thursday afternoon. "There's some indication. I hope it is."
Denver police spokeswoman Raquel Lopez said detectives from Denver and Golden were working with El Paso County, Colo., sheriff's officials, who are investigating Clements' death, and she couldn't comment on evidence from the shooting in Texas.
Montague County sheriff's Deputy James Boyd tried to pull over the Cadillac at about 11 a.m. Thursday, though officials wouldn't elaborate on the reason.
The driver opened fire on Boyd, wounding him, Wise County Sheriff David Walker said at an afternoon news conference in Decatur. He then fled south before crashing into a semi as he tried to elude his pursuers.
Walker said Colorado investigators were heading to Texas to determine whether the man is connected to Clements' killing.
Boyd was wearing a bulletproof vest and is at a Fort Worth hospital, authorities said. Officials said his condition was unknown.
Decatur Police Chief Rex Hoskins said the man appeared to be an Anglo in his 30s. The man shot at Hoskins four times as the chief tried to set up a roadblock to halt him.
The man left his car after it crashed and opened fire on the authorities around him, Hoskins said.
"He wasn't planning on being taken alive," Hoskins said.
In a brief interview, he added that the man had no identification on him.
El Paso County sheriff's investigators had been looking for a dark, late-model car, possibly a Lincoln or a Cadillac, that a neighbor spotted near Clements' home around the time of the shooting.
Lt. Jeff Kramer refused to say what other clues may have been found after officers canvassed Clements' neighborhood.
Clements, 58, was killed as he answered the door to his home Tuesday night in Monument, a town of rolling hills and alpine trees north of Colorado Springs.
His death stunned law enforcement colleagues in Colorado and Missouri, where he spent most of his career as a corrections official.
Police haven't said if they think his death was linked to his job.
Denver's KMGH-TV reported Thursday that Clements may have put a bicycle up for sale for $1,200 on Craigslist. Kramer told the station, "I can't speak to the efforts behind this tip, or the level we are giving it."
In recent weeks, Clements had requested chemicals to plan for the execution of a convict on Colorado's death row and denied a Saudi national's request to serve out the remainder of a sentence in his home country.
Officials refused to say whether they were looking at those actions as possible motives.
Clements came to Colorado in 2011 after working three decades in the Missouri prison system. Missouri Department of Corrections spokeswoman Mandi Steele said Thursday the department was ready to help in the probe if asked.
Officials in positions like Clements' get a deluge of threats, according to people who monitor their safety. But it can be hard sorting out which ones could lead to violence.
A U.S. Justice Department study found federal prosecutors and judges received 5,250 threats between 2003 and 2008, but there were only three attacks during that time period.

Chelsea transfer target Radamel Falcao is aiming to beat Cristiano Ronaldo and Lionel Messi to the Pichichi top scorer award this season.
The Colombian international has eight goals in La Liga so far, the same amount as Real Madrid superstar Ronaldo and Barcelona ace Messi.
Falcao finished third in the Pichichi race last season, behind Ronaldo in second, and Messi - who scored 50 league goals - in first.
The Atletico Madrid forward has been a long-term Chelsea transfer target, but Manchester City boss Roberto Mancini flew to Spain to scout Falcao last weekend.
The City boss watched on as Falcao scored within six minutes as Atletico beat Malaga 2-1 to go joint top with Barcelona.
And the Colombia international is relishing the chance to battle Messi and Ronaldo for the La Liga top scorer crown.
"Everything's still very close, but I am enjoying fighting with them for the top-scorer," Falcao told El Tiempo.
Chelsea were linked with a £45m January bid for Falcao, who has scored the third highest amount of goals in the 2012 calendar year - the Atletico striker lies behind Messi and Ronaldo.
Roberto Di Matteo's Chelsea side are light up front, with only Fernando Torres and Danny Sturridge available as recognised strikers.
Didier Drogba departed for Chinese club Shanghai Shenhua over the summer, and the Stamford Bridge side failed to replace their talismanic forward.
A move for Falcao would certainly act as a statement of intent for a Chelsea side that already sit top of the Premier League table after a superb start to the season.
The Colombian forward would not come cheap, and Chelsea would likely face competition not just from Manchester City, but from Arsenal as well.
The Gunners chairman Peter Hill-Wood confirmed this week that Arsene Wenger will have money to spend in January, and after impressive financial figures were released earlier this month, Arsenal could move in with a big-money offer for one of the best strikers in world football.

Intel Core i7-980X Gulftown Hexa-core Processor Review
Westmere 6-core designs begin
Thanks to Intel's policy of sharing their road maps years in advance, we have known about the upcoming 6-core (or hexa-core) Gulftown processor for quite a while though exact release dates are always held closer to the vest by the chip giant. Initial reports from back in 2008 and early 2009 were ambiguous as to whether or not we would see this computing powerhouse on Intel's 45nm or its 32nm technology, but a speed-up in the process transition (and likely some technical and development considerations) has now made that distinction for us.
Gulftown, now known as the Intel Core i7-980X Extreme Edition processor, will be available immediately for power users that want the top level performance available in a consumer product. Let's dive into the details.
Making the case for 6-core processors
When it comes processors, the more cores the better, all else being equal. HOW MUCH better is a matter of application usage, personally preference and in many case, personal opinions, but I think we can all agree that having more computing power is a good thing. For power users that currently are using quad-core processors with HyperThreading (from either Intel's Bloomfield or Lynnfield lineup) you are already a witness to this. While not all applications can take advantage of multiple threads for computing, all modern operating systems today can at least apply multi-threading to entire system. So how does a 50% increase in core count and thread count sound?
One thing to keep in mind about the pricing here: a lot of times we complain about the cost of the top end CPU offering from Intel and then recommend that users find the middle ground and overclock accordingly to reach or beat the performance of the high cost part. That isn't really an option for us here as you can overclock a quad-core to a hexa-core CPU. As the only 6-core part for the consumer as of today, that difference will demand a premium.
The Core i7-980X and Gigabyte X58A-UD5
i love this new techeal with 6 core i7 6 core
i want 1 now
good luck 5 out of 5 stars from here
how many cores does a hexa core processer have

The most physically taxing no-no on the list of seven deadly sins is that of Gluttony. Today Nice Price or Crack Pipe has a Westfield Se7en that is free from sin, but might make you British Racing Green with envy.
Turns out, yesterday's Chattanooga Choo-Choo-modified El Camino only stops at the crack pipe station, and fewer than 24% of you were willing to get on board that tri-toned truck. Maybe if it hadn't had the Tennessee tuxedo paint job - which the seller seemed to think added value – it would have had a different outcome. A different outcome is expected today as we have a car that's also somewhat mythical to Jalopnikadians, but isn't quite so formally dressed as that Chevy.
The legend goes that, while developing the Lotus Se7en, Colin Chapman kept demanding that tubes be removed from the frame. One by one, cross members and diagonals were cut from the bare structure, until finally, unable to support its own weight, it collapsed. "Put that last one back in" Chapman directed, and the rest is history.
Whether there's any truth to that, or if it was really about the precedent VI, or the concurrent Eleven, it still makes for good theater, and it illuminates the fact that the Se7en's chassis was remarkably light, as was the car overall.
Few cars outlive their makers, a couple of notable exceptions being the Avanti and the aforementioned Se7en – and yes, I'm going to be spelling it that way through the whole post, so get over it. As the sixties strutted their plaid bellbottoms into the history books, Colin Chapman set Lotus on the path to higher unit profits by taking their model line up-market. He needed to do this to fund the real reason for the road car enterprise- Lotus' racing efforts. In doing so, the last vestiges of the company's kit-car beginnings were cast aside, and the rights and tooling for the Se7en were sold to Caterham Cars, who continue limited production to this day. Other makers built homage cars - Dutton, Elfin and even Netherlands-based Donkervoort, proving that intellectual property rights were a gray area in the pre-EU days.
One of the companies that built a righteous replica of the Series II car was Kingswinford-based Westfield, which did see a court battle with rights-holder Caterham over the design of the Westfield. Settled out of court, with undisclosed terms, the Westfield was redesigned and actually improved over the original so as to no longer encroach on Caterham's design.
Today we have a 1996 Westfield SPa that has been titled as an innocuous '65 Lotus for smog and safety reasons. Powered by a proper cross-flow 1600, the car's 1,350-lbs should be no match for the be-Weber'd Ford's 115-bhp.
Assembled as a kit by Westfield's N.A. Operation in Oregon back in '96, this car comes with a five speed gearbox of unknown origin, discs at each corner, and Westfield's own IRS set up, which resides just about right under the driver's and passenger's asses. The fiberglass body (what little of it there is) is splashed with appropriate BRG paint, and the car comes with a full top and side curtains, but if you've ever tried to get in or out of a Se7en with them in place you'd probably just leave both at home. Overall the car looks to be in beautiful condition, and in fact appears to have won "1st Place Lotus" at the 2008 United British Sports Car Club event. Mileage? Who cares?
Now, as some of you know, Caterhams are not cheap. And original, documented, Lotus Se7ens can cost a kidney these days. The Westfield (now part of Potenza Sports Cars) may not be as well known a Se7en-builder as the big-C, but their SEi and SEiGHT cars routinely show up as best-of in the British mags.
So, what would it cost for you to wedge your lard-ass down between transmission tunnel and thin fiberglass body panel? Would it require your first born, or for the seller to spend a night with your smokin'-hot wife, for you to wrap your hands around that fat, leather steering wheel and experience the joys of go-kart-like handling?
No, all it would take is for you to write a check for $18,995, plus tax and license.
What do you think, does that price – at a little more than $14 per pound – make it a car without sin? Or, does that make the seller guilty of the twin sins of greed and pride?
You decide!

Rushing the passer isn't a quality the Cleveland Browns have mastered in recent years. Stopping the run hasn't been a cakewalk, either.
Mary Kay Cabot of The Plain Dealer reported Wednesday the team is looking to address both issues in free agency. A trio of big names -- Oakland Raiders defensive tackle Desmond Bryant, Detroit Lions pass rusher Cliff Avril and Paul Kruger of the Baltimore Ravens -- all are on the radar, league sources told Cabot.
After two seasons in a vanilla 4-3 scheme, the Browns plan to go on the attack in new coordinator Ray Horton's 3-4 defense. With holes at outside linebacker, interest in Kruger and Avril (who played end in Detroit) makes sense.
Bryant's arrest on a criminal mischief charge earlier this month is a concern, but the 6-foot-6, 311-pound tackle is solid against the run and pass. Avril, meanwhile, is a natural at pursuing the quarterback and he's only 26.
But Avril won't come cheap. Neither will Kruger, reportedly seeking close to $10 million per year.
Cabot also listed former Arizona Cardinals outsider linebacker Quentin Groves as a potential target. The Browns have plenty of cap space, but they haven't used free-agent channels to build the team in recent years. That might change with the new regime in place, but this remains more of a wish list than a reality.

WHAT WE'VE REPORTED The Smyrna Farmers Market opened its inaugural season on June 16 on South Market Street in front of town hall. The project came to fruition after a few months of planning on the part of a small group in Smyrna and AmeriCorp VISTA worker Carly James, who was working for the DEDO office.
There had been a suggestion of starting a farmers market for years, but it didn't become a possibility until Smyrna resident Robin Bruner responded to an email from the Delaware Economic Development Office. At the time, Bruner said the market would be a chance for Smyrna to fill in the gaps for produce not available downtown.
THE UPDATE It's a few months later and the market is nearing the close of its first season. Bruner works as the co-manager of the market along side of Smyrna's Manager of Planning & Zoning Janet Vinc.
Vinc said the market has performed better than expected.
Bruner echoed those sentiments: "Everything we've heard has been really positive and that it is really needed."
Available products have ranged from fresh produce to bread to homemade jams and jewelry among other local items. On average there were 10 vendors each week.
Visitors of the market have been local residents and residents from other parts of the state and even out-of-state, including from Maryland. Bruner said each week they'd see at least one new face.
However, some people said they didn't know there was a weekly farmers market in Smyrna on Saturdays. So Vinc and Bruner said they'll use money made from vendor fees to better promote next year's market.
While the two would like to see more customers each week, Vinc and Bruner feel like their first season went well. The market is encouraging local business to work with the vendors and one vendor is even considering opening a business in Smyrna, Bruner said.
The two said not only is the market providing local products, but also it's bringing business in town to support downtown Smyrna.
"We really can make a difference," Bruner said. "I hope people really understand how important the market is."
WHAT'S NEXT There are three Saturdays left for the Smyrna Farmers Market with Saturday, Oct. 27 marking the last day for this year. The market is open from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m.
There will be a special market day on Saturday, Dec. 1 in conjunction with the town's Christmas event for the lighting of the tree and caroling.
Though the first farmer's market season isn't quite over, Bruner and Vinc are already thinking about next year's market.
Along with improving on the promotion of the market next year, the duo would like to see the amount of vendors increase to 20 each week. There are even some vendors they'd like to see such as cooking demonstrations.
Vinc said they're looking into possibly having EBT available so everyone can shop at the market.
Vinc and Bruner attribute the success of the market to good planning in the early stages of the project. They hope that the market and success of the July food festival on Market Street Plaza show what can be done with the location.
"The market has become a social activity too. It's a place for people to socialize," Vinc said. "The farmer's market and food festival prove the plaza can be a public gathering place for people in town."

Badger fans at Camp Randall have been treated to a number of new additions to the venue's concession menu through the first weeks of the 2013 season. A notable weak point of the complex in the past (though as recently as the team's home opener in August there were complaints regarding lines), the expansion of options is an effort to enhance the experience of Camp Randall say officials. Complimenting the new menus is an increased number of vendors as well.
Levy Restaurants has been at the helm of the project. The award-winning stadium vending supplier is in their first year of a new contract with Wisconsin Athletics, a significant partnership with one of the most successful entertainment and sports venue food specialists. Levy pioneered the in-stadium restaurant, now especially popular in major league baseball, and manages four locations inside the Walt Disney World Resort.
Back in Madison, the company has worked closely with school and Camp Randall staff to debut four new dishes at the stadium this year. A bean based chicken salad has proven to be one of the more popular choices thus far, though the Po Taters Tumble and meat-loaded Bucky's Nachos have suffered no love-loss either.
For the more daring among us, the last addition to the concessions menu can satisfy those not content with just their chicken salad. The daunting Bucky Burger comes on a pretzel bun topped with cheese, pickles, Bucky's secret sauce, and a whole brat.
Back-by-popular demand features have also been reintroduced by Levy's at Camp Randall. No salads on this menu.
Nacho Madness
- Chips served under sliced brats and cheese curds with nacho sauce, jalapeños peppers, salsa, and sour cream on the side.
The Badger Stack
- An egg McMuffin with a brat instead of a sausage patty.
Pot Roast Sandwich
- Slow roasted pork served with all the toppings.
Early Badger Bucket
- For fans whose taste buds know no limits. Included in a party-style bucket are a hot dog, a brat, peanuts, and a large soda.

Product Details
Vitamin C is a powerful antioxidant that helps your body metabolize proteins into energy, boosts your immune system, builds collagen in your skin, promotes healing, and aids in joint repair. It also helps keep your arteries young and prevents fatty plaque buildup on blood vessel walls.
Vitamin C is essential to any detoxification program because the body uses it to process and eliminate toxins.It is very effective in removing heavy metals such as mercury when used together with IMD-Intestinal Metal Detox and helps fight off the free radicals that form around the liver during the first phase of detoxification. It may also help to decrease some of the side effects of detox, such as headache or nausea.
The liposomal form of this product is what makes it so powerful and so absorbable. Liposomes and lipid nanoshperes (Therasomal products), are delivery systems for compounds that are hard to absorb or are altered in the intestines. Nanospheres (similar to liposomes but smaller and thus better absorbed) are passively absorbed in the small intestine like lipids and thus can bypass many intestinal absorption barriers.
Quicksilver's Etheric Delivery™ Phospholipid Encapsulation System improves upon liposomal technology with smaller, more stable, single-layer spheres made from the highest-grade ingredients available. In addition to exceptional absorption rates, nanospheres also demonstrate the ability to cross the blood-brain barrier, deposit their cargo intracellularly and enhance lymphatic circulation of therapeutic compounds.

The only poll that matters is the poll of all voting machines on election day.ReplyDelete
True dat. As we learned to our dismay in November 2004. The polls looked so good going into the election. The GOP ground game was too good, though.ReplyDelete
Which makes me really nervous going into these elections. The numbers look really good for the Dems, but I've seem them snatch defeat too many times, and the GOP knows how to close the deal.

Indra was the first son of Hagoromo, inheriting his father's eyes: his dojūtsu powers (Sharingan), powerful chakra, and spiritual energy. From a young age, he demonstrated great talent towards ninshū and anything he applied his mind to. Because of his prowess, he led a solitary life — finding no need to depend on others. When Hagoromo was on his deathbed, he selected Indra's younger brother, Asura Ōtsutsuki, to carry on his dream of establishing peace throughout the world.
Background Edit
Angry and jealous that his father had not chosen him, Indra, being tempted by Black Zetsu, fought against Asura to claim what he believed should have been his birthright. Both brothers went to their graves constantly fighting over the title of ninshū's successor. His descendants, who would become the Uchiha clan, would continue this fight with his younger brother's descendants, the Senju clannever knowing how or why their hatred of each other came to be.[2]
Personality Edit
Recognising his own talents, Indra became proud and independent, determined to walk his own path unaided. He believed that force and strength were the ultimate key to peace. Although he loved his father greatly, he later came to despise both him and Asura due to the former's decision, and Black Zetsu was able to take advantage of Indra's resentment towards his brother, making Indra challenge his father's decision to let his younger brother carry on his will.[2] Despite his status as a lone wolf, Indra was apparently able to find a lover, having gained direct descendents.
Appearance Edit
Indra had long brown hair cut short on top, with two locks wrapped in bandages framing either side of his face. His eyebrows were cut short — a symbol of his nobility — and his eyes had blue markings around them, which were turned up at the corners. He wore a high-collared, light-coloured kimono held closed by a dark sash. Around the collar of the kimono was adorned with magatama under which he wore a black full-bodied suit. He was also depicted in full-body armour. He had allowed his hair to grow out flowing around his attire.
Abilities Edit
From a young age, Indra was recognised as a prodigy, even in his legendary father's own perspective. In battle, he also wielded a sword, showing some expertise in kenjutsu. In addition to his skill in battle, Indra inherited his father's powerful chakra and spiritual energy.
Dōjutsu Edit
Indra possessed a derived form of his grandmother's dōjutsu; theSharingan. He would also awaken its advanced form: the Mangekyō Sharingan, which is presumably the spiral-like pattern that originated from his pupils and covered his irides, which was shown when he debuted. With it, he became the first known wielder of Susanoo. Attaining mastery over the technique and its various developments, he became capable of fully manifesting and "stabilise" it into its Complete Body form, dwarfing the surrounding landscape.[3]
Hagoromo noted that Indra's chakra remained after his body was destroyed and it was reincarnated into various individuals through history. Madara Uchiha, the previous reincarnation, helped create thefirst ninja village with Asura's reincarnation, Hashirama Senju. However, Madara eventually adopted Indra's ideology, due to various occurrences and continuously sought more power. His growing ambition led him to covet, and eventually steal Hashirama's DNA, inadvertently gaining a portion of Asura's chakra and implanting it in himself. As a result of this, Madara awakened the Rinnegan. After Madara's death, Indra was reincarnated into Sasuke Uchiha.
Legacy Edit
According to Black Zetsu, the reincarnations of Indra and Asura are almost always in conflict with each other and rarely work together. Naruto and Sasuke are one of the exceptions, assuming other exceptions have existed throughout the centuries.
Ultimately, it was Asura's latest reincarnation, Naruto Uzumaki who managed to do what all of his prior incarnations had failed to do: end the rift created by the two lines of the reincarnated, which Naruto achieved by defeating Indra's successor, Sasuke Uchiha, in their final battle, finally bringing about the end of the bitter feud that had lasted for centuries.
Trivia Edit Edit
- "Indra" literally means "King of Gods" in Sanskrit.
- The rivalry of Indra and Asura and their descendants (Uchiha and Senju) is derived from Hindu and Buddhist religions where the Gods, led by Indra, are in constant battle against the Asuras. In the teachings, Asuras were malevolent and the deities were benevolent, but the roles are reversed in the Naruto series.
- Indra's deep hatred toward his brother, a result of his father choosing the latter as the successor of ninshū, may have transcended down throughout his lineage and become part of what is known as the "Curse of Hatred".
- Like his father, he wielded a sword in battle. His choice of main weapon could represent his lust for power, while his brother's choice of a shakujō could symbolise his desire for love and peace.

Edwards-Mercer Prize takes Alumnus to World Methodist Council
In 1999, I received the MPhil in Theological and Religious Studies from Drew's Graduate School. Since I was writing my dissertation on early American Methodism, I needed to travel to repositories in distant places. The Edwards-Mercer Prize enabled me to visit the John Rylands Library in Manchester, England. While searching for correspondence from English Methodist Jabez Bunting, I discovered original documents written by John Wesley, apparently torn from his journal. These holographic entries were misfiled in a box of letters for almost one hundred years. Curiously, they were not included in the Jackson and Bicentennial editions of Wesley's Works. My wife Thelma, also a Drew alumnus, helped me transcribe the journal entries, which were published in Methodist History July 2000. I later received my PhD in 2004.
Subsequently, I was invited to apply for the position of director of studies at the Charles Wesley Heritage Centre (CWHC) in Bristol, England. Scott Kisker, another Drew alumnus, and his wife were leaving the post to have their second baby. During my eighteen- month tenure at the CWHC, Thelma provided hospitality at Charles Wesley's house while I guided several ex-patriot researchers through the terrain of Wesleys' Bristol. I convened two major international consultations, the Orthodox-Methodist dialogue and En Su Propria Lengua: Wesley's Works in Spanish. The latter conference raised many issues, one of which was the near absence of a current body of Wesley studies by Spanish-speaking scholars. Living in the historic home of Charles and Sarah Wesley, Thelma and I were concerned with telling their story. We wrote the drama, "Love Divine: The Story of Charles and Sarah Wesley," which involves audience participation in the hymn singing. We have performed the drama/hymn-sing dozens of times in character. We presented it entirely in Spanish at PROBITEM seminary extension in Huancayo, Peru, and Colegio Maria Alvarado Prep School in Lima.
At the John Wesley Tercentenary celebration at SMU-Perkins School of Theology, I presented a paper on the impoverished state of Wesley scholarship in Spanish. As a result, we established the Hispanic Wesleyan Society (Sociedad Wesleyana) to promote Wesley studies in the Spanish-speaking world. I have served in the office of president since 2003. Our virtual membership uses social media to link constituents across the USA, in the Caribbean, and South America.
The Hispanic Wesley Society has opened many unexpected doors to ministry. I have been the conference Wesley teacher for the Wisconsin Annual Conference, a contributor to the Wesley Study Bible, and commissioner of the General Commission on Archives & History. On occasion, I also teach historical theology or Christian social ethics for Perkins School of Theology. Thelma also briefly returned to England to do advanced graduate studies in Wesley spirituality at Nazarene Theological College-University of Manchester. We are both ordained United Methodist clergy appointed to a small Hispanic congregation in the Rio Grande Conference.
This year, we both traveled to Durban, South Africa, where I officially joined the World Methodist Council. None of this exposure to the World parish would have been possible without the generous gift of that first Edwards-Mercer Prize, for which I will always be grateful. —Daniel F. Flores

Judd Gregg, in full Judd Alan Gregg, (born Feb. 14, 1947, Nashua, N.H., U.S.), American politician who served as a Republican in the U.S. House of Representatives (1981–89), as governor of New Hampshire (1989–93), and as a member of the U.S. Senate (1993–2011).
Gregg graduated from the elite Phillips Exeter Academy in 1965 and earned a B.A. in English from Columbia University in 1969. After receiving a law degree (1972) and an LL.M. in tax law (1975) from Boston University, he entered private practice as an attorney in Nashua, N.H. He began his political career in 1978, when he was elected to New Hampshire's executive council. He served one term (1979–81) on the council, which shared executive power with the state's governor. In 1980 he was elected to the U.S. House of Representatives, and he took his seat the following year, representing New Hampshire's 2nd congressional district. Gregg served four terms before launching a successful campaign for governor, an office he held from 1989 to 1993. He returned to Congress in 1993, this time as a senator, and he established a reputation as a fiscal conservative who tracked toward the centre on social issues. In 2006, for example, he was one of seven Senate Republicans to vote against a proposed constitutional amendment to ban same-sex marriage.
After Bill Richardson withdrew his name from consideration for the position of secretary of commerce in January 2009, Gregg was selected by Pres. Barack Obama as his replacement. Gregg accepted the nomination conditionally, as his replacement in the Senate would be selected by New Hampshire's Democratic governor, John Lynch. Lynch agreed to choose a Republican; had Lynch selected a Democrat, that party would have moved one seat closer to a filibuster-proof majority in the Senate. However, in February 2009 Gregg withdrew from consideration for the cabinet post, citing "irresolvable conflicts" with Obama's administration. Gregg subsequently announced that he would not run for reelection to the Senate in 2010.

WAITT HOUSE necesitaba un nuevo diseño de logotipo y lanzó un concurso de diseño en 99designs.
Un ganador ha sido elegido entre 162 diseños de 55 diseñadores freelance.
We are looking for a great company logo and website header for a new website called OMTTS ... which stands for One Million Things That Suck.
It is a Social Networking website where users post text or text and photos of things in daily life that really tick them off and other users not only reply to those posts but also rank how valid and interesting of a "gripe" each original post actually is. Those ratings are tallied which leads to a weekly winner, monthly winner, etc. for the best posted "gripe" and prizes are awarded.
Also on the Home Page is a nice-sized 7-digit "Hit Counter" that rolls over one number at a time whenever a brand new, original "gripe" is posted. The goal is to get to ONE MILLION gripes!
Everyone! Everybody loves to complain—students about their teachers, voters about politicians, sports nuts about referee calls, girls about their boyfriends, travelers about airlines, and on and on.
But it's not complaining, unless someone is listening while you rant and rave, whether they agree or disagree with you, which is where OMTTS comes in.
Here's the interesting part (or at least we think so).
At the same time that we are developing OMTTS.com, we are also developing OMTTR.com where the "R" stands for "rock" as in OneMillionThingsThatRock which is the direct counterpart to OMTTS and is where users post text or text and photos of things they think are great and people respond.
At some point we may develop websites using other letters of the alphabet for the last letter. Which means that the emphasis and the branding needs to be on the OMTT part of the name so that the websites have some consistency yet users know they are different based on what is done with the fifth letter. So when you submit your designs we would like to see designs for both OMTTS and OMTTR.
We also own the full URLs for OneMillionThingsThatSuck.com and OneMillionThingsThatRock.com so it's possible those spelled out names could be incorporated into the OMTTS and OMTTR logos if you think that looks good, although what should be dominant are the big all-caps OMTTS and OMTTR.
As for the look and feel and design of the logo(s) we are wide open. The challenge is to design them so that each website can stand on its own but at the same time users know they are part of a similar family of websites. One idea might be for the roll-over "Hit Counter" to be part of the actual OMTTS and OMTTR logos, or part of the website headers ...

Pallywood vs. Real World
Gee, how nice to read that it was new rockets that boosted morale in Gaza. I needed something to boost my morale, but that sure was not going to do it.
At first, there were reports of ambassadors from UK and France being recalled from Israel, and now that seems to be a growing fad.
Then came news that IDF soldiers shot and killed an ax-wielding driver who rammed their jeep. After causing the jeep to overturn, the terrorist got out of his car, screamed "Allahu Akbar" and came after the soldiers with his weapon. He was shot and killed, 5 of the jeep occupants were injured. Would a terror attack against Israelis raise an eyebrow?
The international press was really in the thick of it in Gaza during Operation Pillar of Defense, many journalists hung out in Gaza hotels. Were they so certain that Israel would not attack innocent civilians?
In Israel, there were a few cameras at Soroka Hospital in Beer Sheva to get photos of the wounded soldiers that were brought in by ambulance.
The Iron Dome successes made headlines. But the Iron Dome was not used over the many open lands in the south, only in populated areas. How many Hamas missiles still lie ready to explode and kill innocent field workers?
Not news, old news that Hamas aimed its rockets at Israeli children,
who have had to stay near shelters for safety for most of their lives.
Southern Israel has suffered quietly for years under fire of 13,000 Hamas rockets from Gaza. International media where were you?
Did the international press show you that in Kiryat Malachi where this building was hit by a Hamas rocket and three people died in their home,
that days later the laundry hanging in back of the building was fine? Seems when there are no weapons stored in the house, there are no secondary explosions and damage. Ho hum, not such an exciting photo either.
The PLO, PA, Hamas or Palestine, whatever they are called, have one message "we are the victims and Israel is the aggressive occupier."
As long as Israel is a democracy where NIF, Peace Now, Meretz and many others are free to speak and former PM Olmert has an audience in NYC, Pallywood will win the war of public opinion.
The world is willing to hear their message and believe it,
even as Israeli children have had to play basketball in a sealed room,
while the playground near by was empty.
It was close, but more than those 15 seconds to safety away.
It was the shocking news that Israel wants to build houses that upset the European governments and others. How much violence PA incites against Israelis is of no concern. How many thousands were killed in Syria is of no concern.
This is the obstacle to peace.
Pallywood or real world, you decide.

Firetruck manufacturer American LaFrance once again has evacuated the building.
And this time it isn't coming back. Instead, it's leaving behind a bruised legacy and tarnished brand that go back more than 180 years.
The company, which went through bankruptcy six years ago, folded a week ago Friday, when New York-based owner Patriarch Partners shut down the financially troubled operation.
Most of the 150 or so employees at the main factory in Moncks Corner, where the downsized company moved less than a year ago, had no clue. They were told at 5 p.m. to take their toolboxes home and not to return. Five trucks were on the line in various stages of assembly.
The official statement from Patriarch said that it also had shuttered American LaFrance operations in Ephrata, Pa., and Los Angeles. The last sentence summed it up: "Unfortunately, the company's unexpected current financial condition requires the discontinuation of operations in these locations at this time and these facilities are not expected to reopen."
Within the close-knit firefighting industry, the prevailing view is that American LaFrance's decline and ultimate demise was self-inflicted, from the top down.
This wasn't what anyone envisioned when American La-
France came roaring into North Charleston in 2002 from its former home in North Carolina as a growth-minded division of automotive giant Daimler AG's Freightliner unit.
Then-Gov. Jim Hodges sounded a chrome fire bell to mark the $12 million reopening of a previously idled truck-making factory on Palmetto Commerce Parkway. A company executive called the symbolic gesture "a warning ... to our competitors."
"Get out of the way," the sales chief told the invited guests, a group that included skeptical American LaFrance dealers from around the country. "We're coming."
Freightliner's lofty ambitions called for American LaFrance to hire 800 workers within two years and produce 4,500 fire engines, ambulances and waste-hauling vehicles annually. It was hailed as the biggest single jobs announcement in Charleston County history.
The company never approached those numbers. A growth plan that was based on snatching business away from rivals never gained any traction. Also, the number of vehicles American LaFrance was making inside the cavernous factory didn't come close to paying the overhead and other bills.
Freightliner threw in the towel and sold the business in 2005 to Patriarch Partners, led by Lynn Tilton, a savvy, tough-as-nails ex-investment banker with a penchant for provocative clothing. She's a self-proclaimed savior of small U.S. manufacturers.
Tilton has said that her interest in American LaFrance was heightened by the 2001 terror attacks in New York City. She recalled watching from her office as firefighters entered the World Trade Center towers and other burning buildings that day, some never to return. The experience cemented her affinity for businesses that help the military and emergency responders, she said.
"When I had the opportunity to buy this company, it was important for me to be able to serve ... those who serve us," Tilton told The Post and Courier in 2006.
The hand-off from Freightliner was clumsy, and Patriarch never seemed to recover.
A curious plan to relocate American LaFrance to a newly built factory and headquarters on the campus of Charleston Southern University fell through. The company set up shop instead in the Jedburg area at a new factory and headquarters designed to look like a fire station.
Beneath the surface, financial troubles mounted, with losses totaling $104 million for 2006 and 2007. American LaFrance sought bankruptcy protection in early 2008 to restructure more than $200 million in debt, including $154 million owed to its parent company.
Afterward, the corner office became a revolving door, with at least six American LaFrance CEOs coming and going in as many years. On at least one occasion, Tilton has suggested publicly that her decision to buy the vehicle maker was a mistake.
"That was a purchase I made more with my heart than my head," she told The Wall Street Journal in 2011. Representatives for her New York-based investment firm didn't respond to several requests for an interview with Tilton last week.
Despite its financial troubles - or more likely because of them - American La-France remained an object of intense curiosity within the industry, all the way up until Jan. 17. Its collapse was the talk of the Fire Department Safety Officers Association's annual apparatus symposium in Florida last week.
"It's not at all surprising," Neal Brooks, a national apparatus sales manager for W.S. Darley & Sons, told Firehouse.com blogger Ed Ballam. "Could see it coming."
Glenn Usdin of FireTruckBlog.com did as well.
"It had become a death watch among those in the industry," he said Wednesday.
Usdin once worked in management at American LaFrance when it was part of Freightliner before leaving in 2001. He's now a fire chief and owner of Landisville, Pa.-based Command Fire Apparatus, which sells used equipment.
As someone on the outside looking in, he said, it's hard to grasp American LaFrance's rapid fall and pinpoint the exact causes. "It certainly looks as if it's been nothing but downhill since Freightliner sold it to Patriarch Partners," he said.
Patriarch officials, he added, "never seemed to put forth a consistent effort to seem that they were competing to stay in business."
As Usdin sees it, executives from American LaFrance and its parent violated a cardinal rule of the firefighting business: They failed to respond quickly when the alarm rang.
It was no secret that some of American LaFrance's vehicles left the factory with glitches, but buyers "tend to be forgiving" most of the time, he said. They understand that firetrucks are "extremely complicated and have a lot of moving parts and potential for problems."
Usdin believes the quality issues magnified a more serious flaw. "I think the real barometer of who's going to succeed in this business is not that they have problems but how they adapt to the problems and take care of the customer," he said. "That's where American LaFrance did very poorly. We've heard about and actually experienced very long delays in getting parts from them. That's the kind of thing you can't recover from ... because these trucks need to be in service."
The industry that American LaFrance once sought to dominate is a niche industry, as tiny as it is tight-knit. So it wasn't long before the company's once-stellar reputation began to erode, bit by bit.
"Anytime you have a small universe like that, word spreads very quickly. It gets out so quickly," Usdin said.
As quick as wildfire.

Hi guys, a few weeks ago I showed you a Thank you card I made for one of Tegan's Teachers, well she also had a full time assistant, so I made this one for her,
I used the gorgeous Peony Avenue paper pad by Studio 75 again, wow these papers are fabulous, I love the designs in them and they distress fabulously too, as usual all links below,
Again I made a focal point of the gorgeous Foamiran flower Tracy had made, so I added this onto the Fantasy Bazaar die, I then just added some of the adorable paper leaves and a trailing leaves Fantasy die, under these I used some of the Sisal Tracy has added to her store, this is a little fun to work with but the effect is great,
I then finished off my focal point with a metal leaf and some Meadow spray flowers too,
As you can see I also used some the really pretty Lace Rebecca and a super gorgeous Busy Bee embellishment, soooo cute!!!
This is my last post as a design team member for Tracy's online shop, Tracy kindly asked me to be on her DT full time but due to other DT commitments I had to decline, but I wish to thank Tracy and all the girls on her DT for making me so welcome and for the fun I had whilst there,

September 2009
2 September 2009
Terri Irwin has shared Steve Irwin's crocodile research techniques with Indigenous rangers on the Steve Irwin Wildlife Reserve as part of a long term commitment to mentor, train and provide employment opportunities for Indigenous people.
Returning from the annual croc research trip, Terri said this was an important part of Australia Zoo's commitment to local Indigenous people.
"We caught 31 crocs up at the Reserve this year using all of Steve's capture and release techniques. It is so special and important for us to pass this knowledge onto those around us, and we are honoured to share this with the northern Kaanju people," Terri said.
"We also visited schools in Weipa, Mapoon and Napranum so that Bindi and Robert could share and learn from local children and Professor Craig Franklin gave a presentation to the Council of Mapoon about the scientific findings on the Steve Irwin Wildlife Reserve.
"We welcome the opportunity to join in partnership with Traditional Owners to offer even more of these opportunities, and to share knowledge of this great country with each other," she said.
David Claudie - a Kuuku I'yu (northern Kaanju) elder, veteran ranger and CEO of the Chuulangun Aboriginal Corporation, , brought five of his Rangers to the Reserve to explore the special area, which neighbours the northern Kaanju homelands centred on the upper Wenlock and Pascoe Rivers.
"The Wenlock River basin holds significant cultural and spiritual value for its Traditional Owners. It features many important Story Places, sacred ceremonial grounds, totemic sites, and areas of rock carving and painting," David said.
"The whole Wenlock River, its tributaries and springs have enormous cultural significance as the Creator of Ngaachi (homelands) under the umbrella of Pianamu (Rainbow Serpent).
"For the northern Kaanju people the Wenlock River is also closely linked with the I'wai (Crocodile) Story," David said.
"We are working with Australia Zoo towards protection of the Wenlock River and in respect for our totem the I'wai," said David.
The Head Ranger on the Reserve, Barry Lyon, said that the teaching and learning was experienced by both parties.
"It really is a two way relationship. We do our best to impart the western science we have learned, but in return we learn so much about Aboriginal culture, and the Indigenous perspective," Barry said.
"David and his Rangers are so knowledgeable about local wildlife and plants, it's terrific sharing our ideas and the things we've learned together," Barry said.
Terri and Australia Zoo will offer training and employment opportunities to local Indigenous groups in areas such as the arts, fire management, weed eradication and environmental research.
Indigenous people will have the opportunity to travel to Australia Zoo on the Sunshine Coast to learn skills in an array of areas from construction to marketing, taking the skills and knowledge they acquire back to their own communities.
"Australia Zoo also employs over 600 people. We will offer these training and employment opportunities in perpetuity, not for a short term," Terri said.
There are now over 210,000 people who have signed the petition. Join the fight and Save Steve's Place by signing the petition at www.savestevesplace.com
