Extempore is an extensive and modular outdoor furniture range offering solutions for all your day-to-day needs such as sitting, dining, lying, relaxing, reading, etc.
Its major innovation however is invisible to the end user: with the Extempore range, the production of waste material has been kept to a minimum. Each (wooden) element can be used on any product within the range. Originally the wood furthermore came from areas managed by nature conservation organisations and nowadays Extremis still exclusively uses FSC labelled wood.
As the Extempore range is made exclusively with top-quality materials, it can be left outdoors all year long. The range's extensive nature is clearly exemplified by the large choice of table sizes, each with matching chairs or benches, and the foot rest, lounge chair and sun lounger that are also included in the range.
The lounge chairs can be stacked neatly. This keeps transport volumes of all the Extempore products compact. Also available with a seat cushion.

Infograph: 9 Body Confessions From Gay Singles
What everyone in the community and pop-culture assumes has been given tangible numbers. Coffee Meets Bagel, a personalized dating service, has released its latest interesting niche survey detailing body image and expectations among single gay men. The results are telling, but not exactly surprising, right?
I have stayed at 190 for the past 4 years. I'm okay with that. I'm 5'9" and now 25. I go to the gym every night to mostly run and keep my upper body strong to avoid heart disease, CVD, and diabetes. I watch what I eat and don't pig out or eat right before I sleep. Do I feel inadequate because I don't have abs? Why should I? Men and women who work out to look good are simply insecure with their image. I have found, through a study on the American Psychological Association website, that most people work out at the gym to maintain their health. Looking good is jsut a side effect.
Some guys in the gay community are shallow hags but most of them are not. My ex gave me the extra push to start going to the gym last year and after we broke up I actually started working out more and more and it is simply for me. I don't really give a damn about others opinions I enjoy working out and seeing my previous 270 pound body sculpt up and look good to myself!! (Currently at 193 pounds.) If you work out do it for yourself just to get healthy. Don't do it to conform to the "norm" be happy with yourself and that will get you more dates than being some shallow hateful queen! :)
"looking like a gym hunk" is a side-affect of working out. I don't go to the gym to look good (although that was an added goal). I go to the gym to: keep physically fit; keep myself feeling young; don't "break-down" when I hit my 50s (like my relatives); mental relaxation; stress reliever; and physical therapy for a past injury in my spine.
There are just too many reasons to keep your body physically fit. The aesthetics just happen to be a side-affect.
I would like to know who they polled for this survey! Although, I do see this a lot in the gay community, I am pretty sure that, like the previous comments, there are other gay men out there that don't agree totally with this. (Numbers 1, 5, and 6...shallow! #4...Do it for yourself and no one else)
I agree with you, when guys talk to me it usually always go straight to being hot instead of conversation and guys want random hook ups and honestly I believe our culture has built bad habits like these based on how it was created, from neglect and abuse. A lot of guys like others of course are not fully Self respecting or so to speak unknowing of their worth. Seek love from connection and the soul the warm fuzzy feeling not only from the physical being.
A a gay man myself i find this survey interesting, is not something I didn't know already, but in my opinion, there's something true in all stereotypes and this is more of a prove of it, lets remember that the gay community is not 100% hunks and jocks, there are bears and twinks that are also part of the LGBT community, the thing missing this survey is the geographic location and method of distribution to be filled up, as well as some demographics should be necessary to be a reliable source. In my opinion doing exercise brings up the spirit, exercise creates endorphins, endorphins make you happy, ergo, they make you feel happy about yourself, plus jocks and gym people (yoga, pilates, weights, crossfit, &c) have a tendency to be discipline people, which can create structure in someone life.

Hard not to smile, right? Calico Critters from International Playthings, stay tuned.
Face of the Day: Calico CrittersFebruary 18, 2010
Another cool day at toy fair 2010!February 15, 2010
We had another big day at Javits today. I went in a dress (since I thought I was doing tv) and carrying tv shoes (there's no way you can do Javits in tv shoes!)
We started at LEGO…always one of our favorites stops, visited with STEP 2 to see lots of fun new outdoor toys, International Playthings (super cute new toys from Calico Critters), Spin Master (lots of flying toys) and at Creativity for Kids we met the inventor of Shrinky Dinks!
My iPhone died right as we got to Spin Master–which was too bad since there were lots of fun things to tape there. Oh well. I did bring my charger–but alas the one that plugs into my computer, not an outlet. Pretty lame on my part. Below is a picture of Kate from International Playthings trying to find an adaptor so that we can charge my phone using the crank radio from their Ecotronics link. Unfortunately there wasn't one that worked with my phone, but I was really so grateful to Kate for the effort!

Work process (or in other words: The reason why you need to wait that much time for your order )
All of our jewelry is handmade, and hand polished, that is why they are made to order. Working with another jeweler on production, the studio manages to manufacture between 50-80 items each month. Producing in small quantities allows us to make each piece in the highest standards and quality.
Making the Model & Casting:
At the end of the casting process, we get rough metal castings that need to be polished and fined to accomplish the neat and finished shape you see in our product images. At this point, we clean the castings with files and hand held rotary tools. Starting with stone wheels and bits that are coarse, then descend to tools with finer grits until deep scratches and unwanted shapes are removed. We slowly contour the surface of the metal to achieve an even satin finish that flows with the lines of the design.

Stone setting
Final finish
With metalwork completed, the last step in jewelry making is polishing and finishing. This is a multistage process in order to achieve different textures such as shining bright/ matte/silver oxidization.
Photographed by: Konfetti Studio
This is the chain of events from the minute you place your order:
Your order was accepted (Yeyy!!) >> Adjusting model's size >> casting in selected metal >> polishing >> Selecting gemstones >> Forwarding the jewel to specialized jeweler skilled at the art of stone setting >> Polishing and final texture finish >> Packaging (and Thank You notes ! ) >> Shipping from our studio in Israel to you .

The Characters:
Steve - Steve McQueen! Impulsive teenager who knows what is wrong and right, but sometimes being bad is just too much fun. Has a hard time speaking in complete sentences when agitated.
Jane - Gullible girl that thinks Steve is the bee's knees. She is more than a little prude at first, but after he saves the town (and her) I'd imagine a few things loosened up.
Lieutenant Dave - One of the most reasonable men to ever wear a badge.
Sergeant Jim Bert - Jerk who hates teenagers since his wife was killed or injured by a hot rodding kid. It's easy to ignore your average jerk, but not so easy to ignore one with good marksmanship skills.
Mooch, Tony, and Al - Bullies or buddies, it is hard to understand their social interactions with Steve.
Danny - Annoying younger brother to Jane, he is not afraid of the Blob. Perhaps watching it dissolve his arm would change that outlook. Stupid kid.
Dr. Hallen - Set a fashion statement that Gregory Peck could not ignore, plus he
obviously an NRA member.
Nurse Kate - Blob chow! Come and get it!
Mr. Old Coot - A balanced part of any Blob's diet.
The Plot:
Primarily this is a story about the establishment not trusting the younger generation. It is apparent the latter are just young and out to have fun, which annoys geezers on principle. Oh yeah, there's also this formless horror from space that can ooze through the smallest opening and dissolve flesh on contact.
As a child I might have respected mommy and daddy, but they didn't frighten me. Not like the title creature here at least. Blessed with a vivid imagination anyway, after insisting (as only children can - we're all brats at heart) on watching "The Blob" I found it the most terrifying movie ever made. For years reoccurring night terrors would send me tearing through the house, fleeing from its hungry protoplasm. Just imagine dealing with a child who is asleep, but screaming at the top of their lungs with eyes wide open. Eventually the thing would corner me (I guess), prompting a gruesome dance that was the sure sign of it latching on with hungry pseudopodia. Years later I would commiserate with Dirk the Daring every time that door opened and a hideous black mass engulfed him.
Anyway, how about some plot? First off, I have to tell you that the movie begins with an amazingly out of place song about the Blob playing over the opening credits. "Beware of the Blob it creeps and leaps..." I love it! Almost makes you sad when the tune trails off and things get down to business. Steve has just succeeded in convincing Jane that his love is true, which probably earned him a stanza in some teen ballad, when a meteorite lands nearby. Thoughts of baseball jargon are cast aside as they search for the fallen star.
Unsurprisingly, some old coot hears the meteorite and goes to check out the modest impact crater. He uses a stick to poke at the space rock, causing it to crack open. What started my wheels turning is that, despite landing mostly intact, it breaks when poked with a rotten piece of wood. Remember, while there is no speed limit for meteorites, they do reach terminal velocity in respect to their size and weight before hitting Earth. Literature suggests that guessing the rock in question was traveling at one hundred to two hundred miles per hour (normal meteorites travel faster, but they're often made of metal) is safe. Now you understand why poking it with a stick should have done one thing - singed the stick.
Out of the broken shell oozes a thick viscous mass of something. Mr. Coot wisely uses the piece of tree branch to pick it up, but the stuff displays self locomotion and slides up the stick onto his hand. Personally, I would have dropped the stick, quickly and with little regard to decorum. Having your hand slowly dissolved hurts and the old man stumbles his way to the road where Steve almost hits him with the car.
In short order the two kids arrive with their moaning cargo at Dr. Hallen's. Yes, moaning. Either the Coot dropped out of school really early or the intense pain prevents coherent speech. Steve and Jane are sent to get the geezer's friends or family, while the doctor wastes time waiting for his nurse to arrive. When Kate finally does walk in the door they both find a Blob much larger and more mobile than before. The teenagers return just in time for Steve to witness Dr. Hallen's last moments through a window, they look pretty painful to me. Hmmm... ...covered with a thick emulsion and quickly suffocating, plus being digested. Yup, pretty painful.
Consider the Blob's eating habits for a moment. It can dissolve a human body in short order (bones and all) and turns red after its first meal of Homo Sapiens (presumably from the blood). Carpet and wooden finishes seem to be unaffected by this caustic solution though, since the monster never leaves any evidence of a trail. Seems almost like selective digestion, the dream of every Jenny Craig devotee in history.
Steve and Jane have absolutely no luck convincing the police or their parents of what has transpired. The adults think it is a hoax, meant to undermine their authority and make them look stupid. Get a clue dad, the progeny are going to think you look stupid no matter what. Meanwhile, the audience just knows the blob is cruising around and eating townsfolk. Mainly due to the fact that a few scenes illustrate this, whether it be a bar found mysteriously empty or seeing the Blob eat the unhappily married automotive repair specialist.
Rebuked by the governing authority, the teenagers cooperate to make one heck of a big ruckus and warn the populace. That does the trick nicely, but the police are displeased when no amorphous menace can be produced as evidence. Just before you think the Lieutenant might throw some kids in jail for the night luck shines on our heroes. The Blob makes an appearance at the theater where it absorbs the projectionist and sends everyone else running willy nilly. Nobody would scoff at this thing anymore, it is huge! How many people did the Blob eat to grow so large?
Steve, Jane, Danny, and some bit part actors are trapped in a diner by the mindless entity, while the police throw everything they can at it. Bullets are ineffective and dropping a high voltage electrical wire onto the monster doesn't do anything directly helpful. In fact, it sets the diner on fire. Only Steve's fortunate use of a carbon dioxide fire extinguisher (actually he takes it from the diner's cook) provides a clue to stopping the unstoppable. The rest, as they say, is history.
The film is a classic for all the right reasons: good acting, a frightening monster, nice special effects, and a pace that never stops. A great deal of respect should be bestowed upon the camera and lighting specialists. Every minute of this movie takes place at night, with only a few scenes inside well lit buildings, and the shots never lose any detail to the murkiness. I couldn't ask for more, even if it did mentally scar me.
Things I Learned From This Movie:
Meteorites have a chewy center, just like a Tootsie Pop.
Somebody needs to invent "blob load" shotgun shells in a hurry.
Finding the fuse box in a large and unfamiliar house is simple.
It is difficult to convince people of your sincerity after they catch you driving backwards.
Old people's parties suck.
Meat cleavers were not meant to cut hardened steel chains.
Firefighters used to carry guns for some reason.
Throwing an ineffective weapon at the advancing monster is a natural instinct.
Twenty CO2 fire extinguishers can freeze several tons of blob.
Stuff To Watch For:
Opening Credits - For some reason I'm reminded of my birthday, as in the very first one.
6 mins - You should turn that stick upside down before it reaches your hand. Good job. Hey, that's not fair!
16 mins - Tell the cop about the old man with the stuff on his hand!
37 mins - Let me explain the idea of a "crime scene" to you...
45 mins - Name him whatever you want, now shut up you stupid brat!
52 mins - Check out that poster in the background, it really reminds me of the one for "Forbidden Planet."
63 mins - It's called "paranoia" Jim, go see a shrink. Now.
64 mins - Let me see, the year is 1958 and all the air raid sirens are going off. Now the fire sirens are screaming as well! My butt would be running for the cellar!
Sgt Bert: "If everything happened like you said it did, where's the doctor and where's this old man? And where's the big bad monster?"
Steve: "That's why it didn't come in the icebox after us! It can't stand cold!"

Starving actors speak out
Dave: "Would you think it was funny if your father...if Jane's father heard you were booked for reckless driving?"
Steve: "Okay, don't bring the fathers into this. I'll never do it again."
Dr. Hallen: "There's a man here with some sort of a parasite on his arm. It's assimilating his flesh at a frightening speed! Now, I may have to get ahead of it and amputate. No, I don't know what it is or where it came from."

"The Blob" is the ultimate pop culture film! Would you believe I bought the DVD one day before your review appeared here? Criterion put the DVD out and it is spectacular. A crisp, letterboxed print, packed with a ton of extras (including a mini poster), I highly reccomend it.

The Blob is the seminal "old man investigates" film. How many others have borrowed - or spoofed? - it's opening? Probably the best spoofs were Killer Klowns from Outer Space", where the old man finds the circus tent, and The Stuff, where a pile of goo is also found, only this time he tastes it!
No coincidence both are found on this website!

In the world of b-movie monsters The Blob is the undisputed King of the Mountain. Think about about it, how many other monster do you know of that could win a fist fight with this thing?
Side bar to Andrew: The remake cleared up all those little factual errors in the original, but a lot of the charm was lost in the realism.
Great flick.

The Blob was filmed here in Chester County Pennsylvania. I used to live at the property where the studio was. The blob ate the Phoenixville "Colonial" theater, and the Downingtown Diner, both still standing. The studio also was a producer of religious films.

The Blob is one of my all time favorites. The second one paid homage to the first when the young male lead said, "I think I killed the strawberry jam!" Young Stephen McQueen, if he had called her "Janie Girl" one more time, wouldn't have had the Blob to worry about. I loved that mischievous but lovable gang of young youth (or yutes) prowling around town getting into trouble pushing parked cars around and driving backwards. Its a shame today's yutes aren't as cute. I am going to go watch it now......wait, what's that?...it's coming toward me,.....aauugghhh!!!!

"It creeps, and leaps, and slides and glides..." Oh man, this movie brings back some horrifying (yet somehow fond) childhood memories for me! Like the review said, I insisted on watching "The Blob" when I was eight and, like the review said, I was terrified for weeks... of course, the Blob was always just under the bed ready to pounce!
The sequel, "Beware, the Blob!" actually sent me running home from a neighborhood pal's house after I saw Godfrey Cambridge sitting down on his "blobba-sized" La-Z-Boy chair... whooo man!
Anyway, my sister and I are going to make sure that my nine year old nephew has the chance to see this "classic!" Whhhhooooo Haaaaa Haaaaa Haaaaaaaaaaaa!!!!

Indeed "a true classic of the genre" and indeed worthy of 5 slimes. If for no other reason, then this is the film that made Steve McQueen a star. Enjoy

I am really glad that this movie, finally got a well deserved mention on this site. This, the original Blob was the classic of drive-in fare of the fifties. I really enjoy the scenes with the Blob at the movie theatre, as all the teens run in panic, as the Blob attacks. Kind of reminds me of what happens at a movie theatre today, but only when the film is rotten. The remake has it's own appeal, but this is the better of the two. You noticed, I never mentioned Son of Blob, directed by Larry Hagman, which, in my opinion bastardized the whole genre.Stick to this, the only definitive version.

Stress is something everyone deals with at different levels, different times, brought on by different measures. The key to living through your body's natural response to change is learning what steps you can take to make it more manageable. While stress can have some short-term positive effects, over time it can negatively impact one's physical and emotional well-being. Managing stress comes down to the decisions you make every day, even one as simple as deciding what to eat!
When I first mentioned the idea of this post to my boyfriend, he responded the way many people would, stating his idea of stress reducing foods is high sugar, high fat, comfort foods with an occasional beer here and there. While these foods may provide a quick fix, in the long run they actually increase stress. When your body is confronted with stressful situations, it responds by releasing the hormone cortisol. This hormone ultimately causes you to crave the very same foods that will actually increase its production.
Before I get down to the foods you should be eating to handle stress, I am going to briefly describe the foods you need to avoid and why. The first on this list is energy drinks and other caffeinated beverages. While energy drinks and sodas provide instant relief, the sugar crash that follows can be taxing on your body, increasing stress levels. Another caffeinated beverage, coffee, increases agitation and can cause dehydration further fueling stress symptoms. Next on the list are high sodium foods. The extra salt causes your body to retain more fluids putting extra stress on your heart and increasing blood pressure. The extra bloating and puffiness you experience can drain energy and in turn increase stress. Refined sugar is the next food to avoid when you are feeling stressed out. Refined sugars cause fluctuations in blood sugar leading to irritability and poor concentration. Finally, alcohol is one of the worst offenders when it comes to increased levels of stress. While one would think it improves mood and causes relaxation, studies show it actually "feeds" stress. It stimulates stress hormones and can prolong symptoms related to stress. Studies show that the pleasant feelings of alcohol diminish when the body is in a stressful state and even small amounts can increase spikes in cravings. Furthermore, alcohol is also dehydrating and can seriously impair sleep.
While you may be thinking there is no way to satisfy those stress-induced cravings, there is an answer! Below are the foods that can decrease the feelings of stress and help you continue on with everyday life without the harmful effects that stress can cause.
Complex Carbohydrates
A key factor in mitigating the effects of stress is the regulation of a hormone called serotonin, also know as the "feel-good" hormone. Complex carbohydrates encourage the production of serotonin and are slowly digested to give you a strong, steady stream that lasts throughout the day. Simple carbohydrates also produce serotonin but offer only a quick relief. While simple carbohydrates can help when dealing with stress, experts suggest choosing complex carbohydrates for a healthy, long-term solution. These foods include whole grain cereals, breads, pastas, and old-fashioned oatmeal.
Try our No Bake Oatmeal Almond Date Bars for that complex carb boost! And don't worry, you don't have to make them into Easter Bunny shapes 😉
Vitamin C
Studies show vitamin c slows the production of stress-produced hormones and strengthens immunity, further helping the body deal with excess stress. Nutritionists suggest oranges, cantaloupe, and even berries.
Our Vitamin Boost Juice is perfect for this!
The most suggested stress-relieving magnesium-rich food is spinach but can also include dried apricots, soybeans, green leafy vegetables, and even sushi with its magnesium rich seaweed and the outstanding benefits fish has. Magnesium deficiency leads to headaches and increased fatigue further fueling the production of stress hormones.
Try our Spinach Strawberry Salad for the perfect magnesium-filled lunch that is low in sodium and high in flavor!
Omega-3 Fatty Acids
Fatty fish, such as salmon and tuna, offer a variety of benefits due to their Omega-3 health properties. These fatty acids prevent spikes in cortisol and offer increased benefits protecting against heart disease and mood disorders.
Try our Mango Avocado Ahi Lettuce Wraps for a healthy and delicious fill of Omega-3's!
Pistachios, Walnuts, Almonds
While high in fat, nuts contain many nutrients to fight against stress and bolster the immune system. The healthy fats in nuts help lower cholesterol, decrease inflammation, and protect against negative stress effects. Almonds further contain Vitamins E and B that help build resilience to depression and other stress-induced problems.
Our Pistachio Crusted Tilapia is made in only 20 minutes with 7 simple ingredients for a great stress-fighting dinner!
Avocados contain high amounts of potassium that reduce high blood pressure making your body more prepared to deal with the symptoms stress brings on.
Whip up our Strawberry Peach Guacamole and use vegetables for dipping to keep snacking during the day healthy!
Sleep Inducing Foods
One of the most important ways you can deal with stress is to ensure your body continues to stay on a normal sleep pattern. If stress is contributing to a loss of sleep, try drinking a warm glass of milk, chamomile tea, or having a light carb rich snack before bed. The calcium in milk eases feelings of anxiety and reduces moods swings. A light snack, such as whole-wheat toast, releases the feel-good hormone serotonin, and chamomile tea is proven to have properties that aid and promote sleep.
Grass-fed Beef
Beef contains high levels of zinc, iron, and vitamins that can help reduce mood swings. When you can, go for grass-fed options to avoid the added hormones and antibiotics.
This list is meant to give you the most basic understanding of what your body needs to best defend against feelings of stress and further fight against the onset of anxiety and mood disorders. On top of this list, it is suggested to exercise regularly and eat small meals throughout the day to keep your blood sugar stable and cravings manageable. By following these steps, you can be confident in any stressful situation that you have the tools necessary to bounce back and keep your spirits high. Use the tools I have given you, listen to your body, and take on all that the world has to offer!

could you tell me how to find an old dayton newspaper from january 4th 1959 showing article and pictures of the old patterson one room school in osgood ohio. thanks kindly
I do not have ready access to go to the archives personally in Ohio, however, I was wondering if there is someone there who has access to the Dayton Daily News, January 28, 1999. I would greatly appreciate any response at all, even if it is not possible currently to obtain a copy at present; I don't seem to be finding anything online despite my efforts to search, so this is my last effort of searching online. Any help at all would be so greatly appreciated!

About 10 years ago the Dayton Daily News published a Dayton pictorial history book with a title something like "The Dayton We Love". Is that still available for purchase from the News? If not, the exact title if you have it, please, so I can try to track down a used copy. Many thanks. — Alan Berg
The Loews Dayton image is from 1944, not 1955. Shirley Temple was not, among other things, making personal appearances in the mid-50's. A quick search on IMDB identifies the first-run movie with the correct year.
I'm trying to find a DDN or Journal Herald article with photo from probably summer of 1970-1972. The subject was a war protest march and the photo caption was something like "Tot Toted for Peace". I'd greatly appreciate any help finding this pic of myself and my son. Thanks.
I am looking for blueprints and or photos of the homes built for the Miami Conservancy Distric Germantown Dam project workers (1920 era). The area is on the Creek Road. There were standoff homes built that were not on the main campus. I am looking to restore/save an exsisting dwelling.
My great uncle Paul Horn was a photographer for your newspaper from 1945 till he retired at age 65 in 1971. I have a few a couple of clippings of him when he was actually part of the article. Was wondering if it possible to get other work he did or at least get dates for when the articles I do have were printed. thank you
I'm looking for pictures of the Sherwood Drive-in, which became the Sherwood Twin, the Captain Kidd Drive-in and the Kon-Tiki theatre that I can use in a video I'm doing for FilmDayton about the Levin Family Foundation.
I have only until Monday to finish, so time is an issue, and I still have hope to get to the Levin archives as well. (Timing has not been on my side there.)
Oh, and pictures of the Rhino restaurant in downtown Dayton, or the 49er restaurant on Airway or "Cook Theater on Main St" would be great, too.
Where would I find a picture from the Dayton Daily News paper from September 27 or 28, 1947 with a picture of the last Streetcar run. The picture has the man who was driving that route standing next to his trolley! I would love to be able to find this picture!!
My dad was a photographer for the dayton daily news his name was Jim Clauss he had taken pictures at the 1968 osu Michigan game and I am looking for any pictures from that I can find… Any suggestions??
I am writing a children's book about Orville's final flight on April 19,1944. He flew on the brand new Lockheed Constellation that had just set a transcontinental speed record. I have a few images of Orville viewing the plane on the ground and one of him in the plane, but I am wondering if there was a ceremony on the ground at Wright Field that day? It seems to me like it would have been a big deal to have the father of aviation riding on this big new plane. Can you help me find out if there was such an event? Also, are there any additional photographs that were taken by the Dayton Daily News? The images I have are from the War Department. Thank you so much!
I'm trying to locate an advertisement from on or before February 3 1971 for a concert at the University of Dayton for the band "Chicago" . Can someone look (maybe up to 3 days before?)
Thank you in advance!
I'm looking for a few DDN articles covering the construction of the Kettering Tower, which was built as the Winters Tower. The two I'm looking for are from April 9th 1969, which was the date of the Winters Tower groundbreaking. The grand opening was May 22 1972. I read on a building database that a tower crane collapsed during the construction, I don't know the date unfortunately. Any pictures of the building or skyline when it was being built would be useful as well! I'll need anything you can find by the end of the month!
On the cover of your daily paper on March 20, 1987 I was the 12 year old boy playing basketball in a photo to mark the kickoff of Spring.
Me and my family no longer have a copy of that paper, and would LOVE a copy/photo/print of it. Is there ANY way that can happen?
Hello was owndering if you all could help find death certificate or announcment of his death in the dayton daily news paper or any other aricles relating to his tragic death bt Train.

I was born and raised in Dayton as well and was always told the story about him of him being struck by a train after taking a morning scroll.

Shawn Lee Lester — 1-1-59
Thanks so much!
On Sept.24, 1957 there was plane crash on Tuttle Ave. in Dayton. I was 10 years old and went to the scene. I learned in later years that my wife of 49 years was also at the scene as she lived in the neighborhood. I have seen a picture from the event that was in Dayton Daily News. I was in the photo as was my wife. We did not meet until six years later went we were in high school at Wilbur Wright. Any help locating that that photo would be greatly appreciated.
I'm looking for all articles and photos featuring Mary Morgan's run for Dayton City Commission in 1969. I've put in a request to Archives but thought I would leave a note here as well.
My sister, Helen Johnson was married to James Grout on 6-23-56 in Dayton. I was hoping that you could send me the article about the wedding that was in the paper the following day on 6-24-56. I would greatly appreciate it.
How could I find an article published in the Dayton paper in the mid-to late 1960s? It was about what kinds of jobs schoolteachers have in the summer. It had a photo of a man named Myers who was shelving textbooks or something like that. At that time he was the principal of Lincoln Elementary school.
Looking for the article on justin t raley born may 2 1985 died April 7 1987
About 8 years years ago I was pleasantly surprised to find my Grandmothers wedding announcement Photo showcased online with a Ohio historical society. I've spent several hours looking for this photo. I've searched far and wide and cannot find the photo again.. Since then my mother has passed away…. thus the reason I would like to obtain it for a family history album.
The wedding announcement was published June 1, 1923, Pg 19
Is there a way I can request the photo?
My grandmothers name is Evelyn Ruth Office
(Evelyn Ruth Office & Pierre J. H. Ball
Dayton Daily News)
My name is Marjorie Bush
email :email@example.com
Thank you in advance for your help and time
Here is the first paragraph….
" At 6 o'clock Thursday evening Miss Evelyn Ruth Office, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Hyman Office of Perrine Street in Dayton, Ohio became the bride of Pierre J. H. Ball of Baltimore, Maryland. Rabbi Samuel Mayerberg performed the ceremony which took place at the Old Barn club in a setting of trailing vines, Smilax and various blossoms before the old stone fireplace. The double ring ceremony was used, fernery and vines being interwoven into a Chuppah Wedding Canopy under which the bride and groom took their nuptial vows."
Hello, I am locking for any information you have about a restaurant my father owned. His name was Ray Malone and the name of the restaurant was
Lora's on West Third St., at the the corner of Upland Ave. As I understand during the time of ownership he had a few break ins and when one of the articles was written in the paper they called the robber the Candy Bandent
He owned the restaurant from 1955-1964. Thank you for your help.
Hi, I am looking for any information about the 1926-27 exhibition "Paintings by Members of the Faculty of the Grand Central School of Art" held at the Dayton Art Institute. Possible sources of information are exhibition reviews, published checklists, exhibition announcements and installation photographs. From my understanding, the Institute does not have any formal exhibition records from 1919-29, so the Dayton Daily News archives are my last hope. Thank you. Email if you have any questions.

AMD lays down laptop platform plan
Mobile roadmap 2008-2009
What's AMD got planned for notebook makers and buyers over the next few years? Its plans are broadly known - the 'Puma' platform will be released in 2008 followed by the first 'Fusion' architecture mobile CPUs the following year - but now we can begin to flesh it out a little.
Puma incorporates 'Griffin', AMD's first mobile processor designed as such from the ground up. That said, the 65nm dual-core part will incorporate processing cores taken from the Turion X2 family, each connected to 1MB of L2 cache for 2MB in total.
AMD's work on the CPU has focused on improving the northbridge elements: in comes HyperTransport 3 with the addition of bus-power management circuitry to clock it up and down dynamically according to need.
Inside AMD's Griffin
Griffin's dual-channel DDR 2-oriented memory controller features a pre-fetcher to grab ahead of time the data it thinks the processing cores are going to want from memory in the near future. It's also tweaked to work only with notebook-style memory configurations and not the broad array of desktop and server memory options the current Turion line is architected to be able to deal with, albeit unnecessarily.
These northbridge components and the two cores are all on separate voltage planes, allowing each to run on reduced power when they're not needed. That allows, for example, a chipset-integrated graphics engine to connect through to main memory without troubling the CPU cores. The cores themselves are able to switch frequencies independently and quickly - in microseconds rather than milliseconds - with the ability to fall to a lower base frequency than Turions - they fall to 800MHz, while Griffin will go down to 300MHz.

The Pulse: Show & Tell 4
Today's question: Show and Tell. SHOW us one photograph of the object or objects that you collect and TELL us how your collection(s) came to be and/or what they mean to you. Feel free to include any anecdote about how you might have found/bought any of your treasures. The following is the last of four posts to answer this question.
Stephanie Hilvitz ONE collection, eeeckk, that tough. I have many collections, but will talk about my chickens. I have works that include folk art, fine art….found art. Now that my city has changed the laws about keeping chickens who knows I may have the real thing. I am attracted to indigenous art and collect what attracts my attention because of color, form and liveliness. The chickens and roosters from Mexico and South America really catch my eye….including my 4 ft blue rooster.
Julie Prichard Shopping at the Long Beach Flea Market a couple of years ago, I came across a couple of antique cricket balls. The hunt ensued. Shortly thereafter, prices on the balls skyrocketed and supply became limited. I am in love with their rich brown color. (Artist will trade paintings for cricket balls.)
Fran Meneley This is a hard one, because I am such a gatherer. But my biggest "collection" is probably my beads. I have been collecting them for about 10 years. They are my treasure trove. My vintage ones are my favorite. I collect them mostly from bead shows, but I am always on the look out. I found this cabinet at a flea market and had it built in to my book case wall to house them all. I love that I can see my collection, they aren't stored away somewhere.
Denise Lombardozzi my partial collection of bits,bobs and notions. i have been collecting buttons and things that might be found in grandmama's sewing basket for as long as i can remember. anything shiny, worn, old & ivory has always been very attractive to me.
Gillian McMurry My collection is a collection of treasures - literally. I have a small selection of ancient artifacts - coins, pots, arrowheads, a few fossils, an oil lamp and even a funeral urn. It doesn't bear any relation to art and they don't inspire me to create but I love looking at them, passing them through my fingers and feeling a connection to the ancient world. If only I had a time machine - sigh. I have always been interested in ancient civilizations. As a child some of my favourite stories were the myths of the Greeks. I was hooked. At school I was told many times I was not clever enough to go to university. Even after I left school others had little faith in my ability. But I wanted to know about ancient history! In my mid 20s I signed up for a university course on Homer for fun. I did well, applied to university full time, got in and now have a degree in Classical Studies. The moral of this story is, if people are continually telling you that you cannot do something - don't listen!!! Give it a go and see what you CAN do. My collection grew with my knowledge and is my own tiny museum dedicated to my stubbornness and desire for knowledge.
Chris Miser I have to admit I horde pressed paper in the form of drink carriers. I have some idea that eventually I'm going to find an idea for altering them.
Lynne Hoppe I've been picking up bones for as long as I can remember... I love their graceful lines, their color and texture, and the fact that they're the last thing to leave this world once the material form dies. I love that while we're living they not only hold us upright, but also create blood cells and are an important component of our immune systems.
Marie Otero I have all sorts of weird and wonderful collections - as do most mixed media artists that I know. My biggest collection of anything though would be books - all shapes, sizes, vintage, antique contemporary and hand made. I also collect antique tools, paintbrushes vintage alphabet sets and letterpress stamps....and that's just the start for the artroom!
Cynjon Noah One of my main artistic loves are art dolls, so over the years I've acquired a rather large collection of them from various artists around the globe...and in the mode of most collections, it continues to grow on a regular basis. As you wander the rooms of our home(s) you're likely to stumble upon a little pile/display/etc of them time and again. The ones pictured here are the ones that live in the bedroom...just a small sampling of them!
Teresa Abajo I try not to collect things anymore. I had some collections of things as a child – trivial things like swap cards, babushka dolls, interesting rocks, whatever. The grief and sense of loss when something happened to one of these collections is still very fresh in my mind. I recall the frustration of not being able to acquire the final piece of a set, and how ridiculous it was to hunt for a piece just because it completed a series, and not because it was beautiful or desirable in its own right.
Having said that, I've inadvertently amassed a collection of ATCs. I don't keep them all in a binder, but a box so that I have to touch them to see them properly. I love that each has been handmade, more often than not by someone I know and have spent time with. I can remember some of them being made before me, as a bunch of us sat around a table and laughed and gossiped and created together. This to me is a meaningful collection.
Marilyn Gallas I really have tried to downsize and rid myself of unnecessary "things". I'm in my Zen stage. I have two passions -- art supplies (there's always something new on the horizon) and Buddhas. The art supplies came about because of my hobby. The Buddhas have been given to me - I love the serenity and peaceful feeling they give me. I attached a pic of one of my Buddhas. He's about 25" high without his rosewood base.
Terry Rafferty I'm not much of a collector, really - I do collect stuff for still life paintings, and books - Lots of books! This picture shows why my clothes live in various odd places - most of the closets look like this one, plus stacks on the floor, tables, dresser, most any flat surface! Art books are primary, maybe 20% on "how-to" and the rest about various artists and art history. Travel books, picture books, cookbooks. Always a stack of good reads - interesting commentaries on humanity. Especially liked The Vanishing Act of Esme Lennox by Maggie O'Farrell and We Need to Talk About Kevin by Lionel Shriver. Both fascinating, but very very sad. As kids, my older sister and I read endlessly - so much so that my parents made a house rule: no books at the dinner table. I do my best to keep passing books along as I finish with them... but somehow it appears that more arrive than leave.
Dina Wakley I mostly collect art supplies, papers and ephemera, and little bits and baubles I can use in my art. I have an obscene amount of ink and graph paper. When I travel, I love to bring back odd bits of papers, maps, receipts, and office supplies. When we went to China in 2005, I visited a wonderful Buddhist temple in Qingdao. I walked into the bookstore and wanted to buy an inexpensive prayer book (the red book in the picture). The employee didn't want to sell it to me because, as she indicated, it was in Chinese and I wouldn't be able to read it. I told her I really, really wanted it...but she would only sell it to me after I agreed to purchase the Buddhist "Cause and Effect" book, which is partly in English. So I came out of the little store with both books.
Deryn Mentock I have an affinity for old and worn items with a history. Anything interesting or unusual is fair game to be included in my artwork. I've always collected antiques so to include these things in my art is a natural progression. I'm also fond of rusty junk. My kids and I used to go for parking lot treasure hunts and afterword we'd all show our junk finds. That's when the fierce trading commenced!
Kelly Parker I collect among other things, books. I have a 14' by 14' room, floor to ceiling filled with book shelves that are overflowing with all kinds of books. Art books, gardening books, teaching books, children's books, and many novels are on my shelves. I generally hit garage sales, book sales, thrift shops, and the local Barnes and Noble for books. I began collecting books at a young age and have always been an avid reader. I remember reading my moms trashy historical romance novels at about the age of 11 years old and never looked back and to this day, but not very often I will read a trashy romance novel!! They are good no-brainer candy for down time inspiration when life is too busy for anything else! I think part of my obsession with books is the feel of the paper; I love paper and have collected many boxes of paper over the years. My other obsession with books is I like to read scary/horror books, not gory with blood and guts but things that can go bump in the night kind of things. Of course, vampires have always held a fascination for me, even as a kid. I remember watching old scary movies with Vincent Price and the Twilight Zone and Alfred Hitchcock but this by no means is a limit on my reading genre, I will read anything. Some of the more popular authors I read are Janet Evanovich, Diana Gabldon, Jim Butcher, Clive Cussler, Piers Anthony, Susan Vreeland, Charlaine Harris, Tracy Chevalier and many others. I am an eclectic and avid book collector and reader!
Kate Strickland I am a collector of natural objects. I am particularly drawn to objects that seem vulnerable or fragile. Many of the objects that I collect inspire my work and are often used in my work, specifically my remnant reliquaries (http://www.artveinstudio.com/reliquaries.html). The objects pictured are a pair of snow goose wings which are very special to me because of the way in which I acquired them… they were a gift. And the place where I acquired them…in a landscape that really touched my soul. In May 2007 I was delivering some training in Akulivik, a small community located in the Eastern Arctic in Northern Quebec, and while wandering on the tundra on a very crisp day, I came across two lovely Inuit women happily plucking snow geese on a rock outcrop. They were doing it with utter joy. I showed interest in the feathers and they very generously offered me two whole wings, severed before my eyes using a traditional Ulu. They told me that these wings were good for sweeping when you are "out on the land". I keep them in my studio for inspiration and to lift my spirits. For photos of the plucking, follow this link to my blog: http://artveinvessel.blogspot.com/2008/06/story-of-wings.html. And to see some of my other natural collections and their stories, follow this link: http://artveinvessel.blogspot.com/2008/07/collections.html
Kathleen Botsford I have collected images of the Blessed Virgin since I was a child. I find them on all my travels, especially in Europe. I really opened to the depth of my devotion to Her in the last 10-15 years. Before that I thought of her in the traditional way I was raised as a Catholic. I wrote a short essay on my blog with the newer insights I have come to know on May 22, 2008.
Sarah Whitmire What do I collect…hrm…do art supplies count? ;) Seriously though, I have accumulated quite a massive amount of stamps, found objects and various other supplies. I have old windows and junk stashed in my garage, in my kitchen and exploding out of my closets.
Paul Sears About the only thing I collect anymore it seems is postcards. I've always had a thing for kitschy postcards from some of the places I've been off the beaten path.
Joanna Olson It would be easiest to say "Anything that pleases me" -it may be only one of a kind or justified because I can include them in a still life that I intend to paint. But I do have numerous small collections, the ubiquitous teacups in a cabinet just to the right of my computer. Vintage tools (that's one of the things I love about jewellery making is that the tools are just so basic, they transcend time) - vintage children's watercolor sets in those colorful tin boxes(I'm using the word vintage but they are from the decade in which I grew up in!). My collection of porcelain puppies - they look wonderful in my bookcase (I try to ignore the "old lady" connotations associated with that one). And finally a collection that's growing of my journals and sketchbooks. And now that I've assembled this list, I realize they are all very nostalgic.
Lisa Dalke
I have so many treasures, but my biggest is probably my collection of other artists work. I think I started collecting other peoples art just because I fell in love with what other people just like me could produce. They mean a lot to me, some remind me of people in my life or feelings I may have felt. Most of my bought art has been through Ebay.
Trudi Sissons
I collect boxes and old 'containers – suitcases, chests, jewelry boxes. I can only make sense of is a lingering childhood dream of finding treasures inside. I especially love boxes with the lids attached. My family thinks it's a wee bit eccentric. They'd be right.
Doreen Grozinger I'm a collector. One of my collections consists of stones. I collect them when we go on vacation and place them around my home. Some I paint mandalas on and others just sit in piles on the floor or window sill. They make me feel grounded and are comforting to me. Sitting among these river rocks are gemstones, crystals, amethyst, geodes, carnelian...My other collection is feathers. I cannot resist picking up a perfect feather. On my birthday this year, I was given a macaw feather. This spring during a trip to Peru, I was gifted with a condor feather. I love to fly, can be flighty at times… thus, the rocks! And then there are the frogs which I just love so much. Frog jacket, candlestick holders and just cute little frogs sitting on the shelf.
Roxanne Stout There are several things I collect: old crocks, pitchers, art books, Putumayo music antique perfume bottles, treasures I find outside and old metal hardware and bits from the past. I like to display all these things together on shelves in my studio. Most of the artwork pictured is my own...
Seth Apter There are many things I collect, not the least of which are found objects and vintage & handmade paper for my art. Aside from art materials, my biggest collection consists of containers. Boxes, small cabinets with lots of drawers (like watchmaker's cabinets), tins, wire baskets, and the like. I also collect what in Flea Market parlance are called "smalls" - odds and ends of all sorts, most often with a distressed and weathered patina.

These are fantastic collections. Thanks to everyone for sharing them. By the way, I envy you your watchmaker's cabinets, Seth.

This is like stumbling into a fantastic museum show. You know those times when you just go to see the permanent collections and then realize that your favorite artist has a giant, fabulous and once in ten years show?.....like THAT.
Just coolness, unfiltered.

These collections are yummy for the tummy. I vacillate between wanting to go to each person's house and 'borrow' from them, or asking each person if they want to 'borrow' from me. Hey, Fran! I'll take a few beads for some drink carriers! How about it?
Seth! how about some vintage paper for a drink carrier?!
Drink carriers, anyone?
I guess I better start collecting something less valuable...

Goals: This was the fifth and last (following Pioneers 6, 7, 8, and 9) of a series of solar orbiters intended to study, from widely separated points in space on a continuing basis, interplanetary phenomena such as the Sun's magnetic field, the solar wind, and solar and galactic cosmic rays.
Accomplishments: None. Failure of the booster's first stage caused the launch vehicle to veer off course. Ground control destroyed the rocket about seven minutes into the flight, before Earth orbit could be achieved.

having someone plastered against the wall and fight someone in front of you. You REALLY get in the in-your-face fighting that way.
A good one. Did that with Walter Mattson a few months back.

quote
What do you think are the best lines a woman could use to turn a man down while leaving his dignity intact?
Depends on the situation. But the common denominator should be "firm and polite" _ always allow the man to save face initially.
As you say, Heather, it is all about perception.
So for safety sake, it is best to use expressions that do not inflame the man's sensibilities, yet send a clear message his advances are not welcome.

quote
He continues to pursue her until she feels the need to request in a strong way that he stop. This is not always the safest course of action, but until she can find a way to be clear or remove herself from the situation, often the man will continue to pursue her without regard to the messages she is sending out. I find this insensitive, wearing, and obnoxious.
I agree. But you must also be careful of what messages you might be sending out that might encourage this behavior. Many women do this in so many ways that denote a character flaw.
One good way to relieve the pressure is to drop the hint that you are with someone, or waiting for someone to get off work, who is a cop, and is insanely jealous, even if you are without a man for the night, so it is best all around for you to be left alone.

The Chevrolet Beretta was first introduced to the U.S. market in 1990. It made its debut in the Indianapolis 500 as the pace car. To commemorate the event, 4500 special edition Berettas were made in 1990; 1500 are bright yellow and 3000 are blue (more of a turquoise) in color. The convertible driven at the Indy 500 was never put into production; instead, a coupe was introduced. The Beretta line was discontinued after the 1996 model year.
The Chevrolet Beretta was designed at the same studio as the Camaro and Corvette. Chevrolet enthusiasts and drivers looked forward to seeing the Chevrolet Beretta in action. The production cancellation of the Indy 500 pace car as a convertible was seen as a failure of GM management. While sporty in appearance, the car largely didn't live up to its hype.
The 1996 model year offered two versions of the Chevrolet Beretta: the base and the Z26.
The base model contained a 2.2-liter four-cylinder, fuel-injected engine coupled with a five-speed manual transmission. The engine generated 120 horsepower at 5200 rpm and 130 lb-ft of torque at 4000 rpm.
Standard equipment included power brakes, power steering, driver front airbag, bucket seats, tinted glass, 14-inch wheels, anti-lock brakes, daytime running lights, and an AM/FM stereo system.
A four-speed automatic transmission is offered as an option for the base model, as are power windows, sunroof, 3.1-liter V-6 engine, tilt steering wheel, cruise control, tachometer, rear spoiler, and a choice of either an AM/FM/Cassette or AM/FM/CD audio system.
The standard Z26 model has a 3.1-liter V-6 engine and a four-speed automatic transmission. The engine generates 155 hp at 5200 rpm and 185 lb.-ft. torque at 4000 rpm. Under hard acceleration, steering may be erratic, but under normal driving conditions it works normally. Anti-lock brakes were standard equipment, as were power brakes, power steering, fog lights, sport suspension, tachometer, daytime running lights, and rear spoiler.
Options available on the 1996 Chevrolet Beretta Z26 include cruise control, tilt steering wheel, sunroof, alloy wheels, and an AM/FM/CD stereo.The 1996 Chevrolet Beretta offered 18/27 mpg city/highway (for a Beretta equipped with the 3.1-liter V-6 engine and four-speed automatic transmission).
By 1996, the body style of the Beretta was in need of an update. Drivers were no longer drawn to its charms and favored competing cars instead. Chevrolet discontinued the model in 1996.
The Chevrolet Beretta was introduced in 1990. A convertible was never offered, despite being the pace car at the Indy 500.
Chevrolet offered GT and GTZ models of the Beretta in 1991. The GTZ contains the 3.1-liter V-6 engine coupled with an automatic transmission. Quad GTZs offer a five-speed automatic transmission. Changes also included a new dashboard, standard driver air bag, and alloy wheels.
1992 GTZ models received gear changes to improve fuel efficiency. The GTZs containing V-6 engines came standard with touring tires. Tweaks to the base engine also generated 15 additional horsepower for this model.
In the 1993 model, the GT's standard engine is the same as that of the base model (110 hp four-cylinder); a V-6 is available only as an option. This car also included changes to both the automatic and standard transmissions.
In 1994 Chevy introduced the Z26 to replace both the GT and GTZ models. The Z26 offered a 170 hp Quad4 engine; the 3.1-liter V-6 generated 160 hp, an improvement from previous models.
The Quad 4 engine (introduced in 1994) was dropped in 1995, and engineers modified the 3.1-liter V-6 to reduce horsepower and help with nationwide emissions requirements.
1996 Chevrolet Beretta
Coupe, Sports
The 1996 Chevrolet Beretta is a two-door coupe that is available as either a base or a Z26 model.
1995 Chevrolet Beretta
The 1995 Chevrolet Beretta is a front-wheel-drive coupe manufactured by General Motors.

Twice I've let the dogs out, and they didn't even notice the ducks waddling into the shade, and out of sight. There's always one pair. I saw the male swimming in the pool, while the female was sleeping in the shade (see right red arrow). I wanted to take a picture of HIM, when I opened the balcony door, all hell broke loose, and all of a sudden there where three ducks flying away in panic. I didn't see the other two at first at all. So there were two pairs. The female on the ground kept on sleeping. Her partner....
click for bigger picture
... came back immediately, after the first panic subsided. He resumed to paddle in the pool. Later in the afternoon, there where three males, and two females.The SHE-dog gave me almost a heart attack. We were out playing fetch, YES, (she's doing great, no complains in the evening), when she thought the pool looked very nice, and got ready to jump in. There's only melted snow, and rain water in it, with lots of leaves and stuff. She was already at the edge, swaying back and forth, giving me a last look, and she must have seen in my face, that it would NOT be a good idea to follow through (the yelling might have helped her decicion too), so she grudgingly left, and went inside, to cool down. Now she's sulking. Of course she did that very same thing, in past years, even as early in Spring, when there was still a fine layer of ice on the water, when she jumped and broke in. Of course at those moments I'm always home alone. Silly dog.
Sam on the other hand, is shadow jumping already. The only time he likes the sun is here in this bed. I think it's cute, he looks so comfortable. It just looks like the same picture, without the Kitty bag, but it's not.
Now that it's nice outside, and there's lots to do in the front, and back yard, I spent less time on the computer. I'm sure you all feel the same this time of year. When it will get really hot though, I'll be spending more time inside again. Did I mention I hate the heat?
I haven't touched the double knitting scarf in days. It's about 15 inches long. Since I didn't knit, I've spun, actually, I'm going back and finish plying it right now. Have a nice weekend!

Positive to positive and negative to negative are two very important things to remember when jump starting a car. Otherwise you could end up with two very burnt cars, like the ones seen here.
Reddit user Quacktastic69 posted these pictures of the aftermath of a friend's attempt at a jumpstart gone very very wrong. It seems while jumpstarting the red Volkswagen "wires got crossed". First the battery caught on fire and then, as you can see, it spread to pretty much everything else.
Luckily no one was hurt in this failed jump start disaster. Whoever is responsible for this mess certainly learned how not to connect two batteries the hard way. Something tells us they won't be volunteering to help a friend with a dead battery anytime soon.
Hat tip to Rusty Van Horn!

Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger has weighed in on the Eden Hazard, Swansea City ball boy debate, and believes that both were in the wrong.
The Chelsea attacker appeared to kick the Swansea ball boy in the ribs, after the youngster attempted to waste time late in their Capital one Cup game.
No charges were levelled against Hazard, and both apologised to each other after the game.
Talking to the club's website Arsene said:
"Both of them were wrong," going on to say, "The ballboys are there to get the ball back to the players and into the game as quickly as possible, they are not there to waste time."
Wenger believes that ball boys should be taught not to get involved in the flow of the game, to avoid this issue coming up again.
He added. "You have to educate the ballboys that no matter if it is the home team or the away team, you have to get the ball back quickly. Anything else is not acceptable."
The Arsenal boss also feels that despite Hazard going to far, the Belgian isn't the kind of player to be violent.
"Hazard is not a violent player. He wanted to get the ball back as quickly as possible, which you can understand," the Gunners boss continued.
"In my opinion, he went in a little bit too strongly but I don't think he wanted to hurt the boy. He just wanted to get the ball back."

Hooke Photo Shoot Description
The process; Starts before the PhotoShoot, when we discuss ideas and concepts. On-site I have a computer setup that allows us to see what we are getting. I use strobes or Natural light or a combination, depending on the situation.
I have working relationships with Stylists, to help with Hair, Makeup and Clothing, (I strongly recommend). After I take all the raw files (usually 100-200+) back to my studio, process, edit, color correct them and whatever else needs to be done. I sort through and make selections, create a webpage and post that online. You'll receive a link to the webpage, in an email. You, your marketing director, family and/or friends can then review the out-takes. When you narrow down your selection to the best ones, I'll then retouch them and send you the full size file on a DVD or beautiful enlarged prints / albums.
I also can offer you Handmade Individual prints on, Art Paper or Canvas surfaces, made personally in my Studio. Sizes can range from 5"x7" to four by five feet. Every PhotoShoot is unique just as each individual is unique. The choices, styles and art direction can be as personal or as generic as you want to make it.
Thank you for looking at my work.

Thanks to everyone who entered our Get Your Wellington Modo On competition! Entrants were asked to create a Computer-Generated character that embodies Wellington, using The Foundry's MODO software.
The winning entry was from animator Tony Moore, who has won the prize pack of:
- One year license for the full MODO Suite (valued at $1799, thanks to The Foundry)
- A Wacom Intuos Pro Tablet (valued at $500, thanks to PB Technology)
- A Gigatyte GeForce GTX960 4GB Video Card (valued at $500, thanks to PB Technology)
- A three-day pass to Pause Festival in Melbourne (valued at $650)
- A two-day pass to AnimfxNZ 2016
Here's Tony's character, Gustin Winds!
"Gustin Winds is Wellington's most annoying outlaw! He destroys Wellington on a daily basis.
He has a warrant out for his arrest for up-skirting women and men. He blows people's hats off into on coming traffic. He made Umbrellas extinct. He hates when we try to eat outside. He causes car crashes and is known to blow small yappy dogs off cliffs. Birds are sick of his constant bullying and are starting to migrate to the Valley. No matter what you do he will find a way to whistle through the cracks in your windows."
Our judges said:
"The model has great edge flow and topology, simple but effective design, clean efficient modelling within its make up."
"The overall playfulness of Wellington's winds, turning that into a character and incorporating the iconic bucket fountain is what impressed us with this competition entry."

What else was going on in the nation and around the world when hippies, flower power and the Age of Aquarius were being celebrated at the musical festival held on Max Yasgur's farm in upper New York state in August of 1969?
Now that the dust seems to have settled from the events and commentary marking the 40th anniversary of Woodstock, here at CNS we thought we'd delve into the CNS archives and see what the news service was reporting on during that week, both nationally and internationally.
From an index of stories we had during the time Woodstook took place were these headlines: "Marijuana-tobacco controversy causes hostilities in generation gap"; "Catholics, Protestants riot in Londerry"; "British-Irish confrontation looms amid strife"; "Are people praying less, pope asks"; "36 arrested during Mass at Pentagon"; "Pope in Geneva helped ecumenism, Protestant leader says."
On the 25th anniversary of Woodstock, we had coverage by our New York stringer at the time on an event sponsored by the New York Archdiocese dubbed "Godstock," which drew thousands of Catholic young people to listen to music, give statements of Christian witness and just celebrate their faith.

Kamineko,It's premature to speculate now on who the Final 6 will be, but I do not see either Krissi or Natasha in for the long haul. They make a good bickering couple but those types get eliminated in about the middle of reality TV show seasons. My guess is that Jessie and Bethy will join Jordan, Beth, Luca, and Bime in the Final 6.
