2013 Morning Melodies Concerts Now on Sale at Arts Centre Melbourne
Arts Centre Melbourne's much-loved concert series Morning Melodies returns in 2013 to Hamer Hall and celebrates 29 years of popular daytime entertainment. Replicated in arts centres across Australia, Morning Melodies continues to present high-quality entertainment at an affordable ticket price. The 2013 program promises to thrill and delight audiences with 10 concerts by some of Australia's favourite musicians, which this year include songstress Katie Noonan, star of the new production Chitty Chitty Bang Bang David Hobson, and trumpeter extraordinaire James Morrison.
"For more than 28 years Morning Melodies has cultivated a devoted audience for an ever-changing program of entertainmentment during the daytime and regularly attracts capacity houses," said Arts Centre Melbourne Chief Executive Judith Isherwood. "According to our calculations, during this time more than half a million people have experienced these terrific concerts - many from the outset - and the 2013 series is once again proving extraordinarily popular."
Highlights from the 2013 program include the opening concert in February James Morrison in Concert with Hetty Kate. James Morrison AM has played with all-time greats including Dizzy Gillespie, B.B. King, and Wynton Marsalis and his stellar career spans several decades. Hetty Kate, one of Melbourne's most popular jazz singers, will share her charming vocals with the multi-instrumental talent of James Morrison in a concert that celebrates jazz and musical theatre greats such as George Gershwin, Col Porter and Peggy Lee.
In April, Anne-Maree McDonald and Stuart Maunder present their ANZAC tribute concert We'll Meet Again. This concert celebrates Australia's brave war heroes and retells stories of mateship and sacrifice from the Great War. Audiences will be moved by classic war songs from the period, including We'll Meet Again, Wish Me Luck as You Wave Me Goodbye andKiss Me Goodnight Sergeant Major along with iconic Aussie favourites When a Boy From Alabama Meets a Girl from Gundaghai, Chin Up! Cheerio! Carry On! and Brown Slouch Hat.
Two of a Kind starring Katie and Maggie Noonan will see the incomparable mother-daughter duo take to the stage in July. Katie Noonan's classical coaching since childhood gave her technique, range and vocal powers that brought an ARIA Award for Best New Artist in 2001 and continued commercial and critical success. For that solid early training and a vocal genetic disposition, the person she thanks most is her own mum, Maggie. Maggie Noonan is a classical soprano whose great talent has seen her grace opera and concert stages in Australia and Europe.
In Step in Time: Music for Ballet in August, Orchestra Victoria performs a very special concert dedicated to the timeless classics from some of the world's greatest and most memorable music scores for ballet. With songs hand-picked by The Australian Ballet's Artistic Director David McAllister and conducted by The Australian Ballet's Chief Conductor and Music Director Nicolette Fraillon, this concert will warm the hearts of all.
Other highlights throughout the year include, David Hobson, who will perform in a spectacular one-man revue, a tribute to Doris Day by the Janet Seidel Trio, the ever-popular The Australian Ballet School and a showcase of Victorian Opera's Stars of Tomorrow.

When's the recall?
The Twittersphere was aghast Friday as evidence came in that new New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio eats pizza — with a fork and knife!
So much for his touch with the common man.
According to AP reporter Jonathan Lemire, who graciously allowed use of this photo, the mayor explained that's what they did when he visited Italy.
Lemire also noted that His Honor did switch to using his hands, and then switched back for another slice with the fork and knife.
Anyway, some reactions.
You know who else used a fork to eat pizza? Sarah Palin. And Donald Trump. Together. http://t.co/vZrtXmmDbS

de Blasio is a Red Sox fan who eats pizza with utensils and somehow accidentally became mayor of New York http://t.co/mbUQjkWb51

Bill de Blasio only ate pizza with a fork to distract from Benghazi.

Join the DZone community and get the full member experience.Join For Free
Jumpstart your Angular applications with Indigo.Design, a unified platform for visual design, UX prototyping, code generation, and app development.
This article is Day #2 in a series called 31 Days of Windows 8. Each of the articles in this series will be published for both HTML5/JS and XAML/C#. You can find all of the resources, tools and source code on our Website.
Today we are going to talk about screen sizes, and why they are important to Windows 8 development. In the first part of this article, we will discuss orientation, and some simple ways we can make our application more useful based on the way our user holds their device. In the second part, we're going to look at our application in a "snapped" state, and how we might change our interface to accommodate a much smaller screen size.
Orientation and snap are important because if you don't consider them in your app, your app won't be approved for the Windows Store.
If you look in the Windows 8 app certification requirements, in section 3.6, it reads:
Your app must support a snapped layout. In landscape orientation, your app's functions must be fully accessible when the app's display size is 1024 x 768. Your app must remain functional when the customer snaps and unsnaps the app.
What this says is that our application already needs to support three visual states, at a minimum:
- 1024 x 768(minimum screen resolution & filled state)
- 320 x 768(snapped)
- Your default resolution that you are planning for, generally 1366 x 768.
Here's an example of a full screen application moving to a snapped state:
You can see that in this case, we have re-arranged our content to better suit the smaller snapped state. There is also the opportunity to move your application to a "filled" state, which is represented by the light gray block to the right of our snapped view.
Thankfully, there are some simple ways to recognize which state our application is in, and the rest of this article will be dedicated to showing exactly how this is done.
Running and Debugging
Before getting started with supporting rotation and snapping lets talk about how we run and debug our apps. Now, if you're anything like me, you like writing your code on a beefy quad-core desktop machine, maybe 8-12 GB of RAM, dual 27" monitors, mouse, keyboard, the whole 9 yards. Unfortunately, these machines are unlikely to have things like an orientation sensor, and picking up your monitor to change the orientation just isn't going to work. Thankfully there are three different ways to run your app; your local machine, a simulator ( included ) or a remote machine ( not included ).
The local machine option is most likely something you have already tried. Hit run, your application is built, deployed to your machine, and then the Visual Studio Debugger attaches itself and your off to the races. As we said before that option might have some limitations based on what type of hardware your developing on.
The simulator. It's exactly that, a simulator, not an emulator like Windows Phone. This means that it will only simulate the machine you're currently working on, not act as a completely different, fully capable device. No orientation sensor? You need another device. So why is it important? Well, as a developer you can do things like fake a touch input, rotate the device and play with different screen resolutions.
And my most favorite option, the remote machine. Thankfully, Microsoft has provided a way for us to make this happen on a remote secondary device, much like we do when building Windows Phone applications. Here's the short story on how it works (MSDN has the longer, more thorough story): You will need install the Remote Debugging Tools on the secondary device. We're using a Samsung Series 7 Slate, but any Windows 8 device in a tablet form factor should suffice. You can download the Remote Debugging Tools here. Make sure you choose the appropriate flavor, x86, x64, or ARM, depending on your device. To enable Remote Debugging you will have to run the Remote Debugging Tools on the secondary device. You'll see an icon that looks like this:
Once the Remote Debugger is running on your secondary device, go back to your primary machine and select "Remote Machine" as your target for deployment. When you choose "Remote Machine" for the first time, you will be presented with a dialog box that looks like the image below. Remember, devices on your subnet will only appear if the Remote Debugger Tools have been installed and are currently running.
Later, when you want to switch devices, you're going to struggle to find where this option is stored. I'm here, my dear readers, to save you that hassle. Open up your project properties (Alt + Enter), and choose the Debug tab. From there, you can change or remove your previous choice. If you remove the choice, the next time you choose remote debugging, you'll get the dialog box from earlier.
I know what your thinking. There is no way this magic remote debugger will ever work between a domain joined machine and just a tablet you have laying around for testing. Well as it turns out, it works just fine, you will be promoted for your Microsoft Account credentials you have associated with that tablet.
Supporting Rotation
To get started let's create our almost famous app from the blank template in Visual Studio 2012. Once created hit run in either the simulator or on a remote machine ( assume for the rest of this article, assume I am running on a remote machine ). You will see your awesome blank app and if you rotate it, the app will in fact automatically rotate as well. Why, How?
By default, all templates in Visual Studio are setup to support all rotations. Remember that package.appxmanifest file? In the Application UI tab you will find a section called Supported Rotations. By checking one or more orientation preference you are selecting which orientations your app will support. Again by default we support all.
Depending on your use case, this may be something of value to your apps overall experience. For example, if you're building a game you might only want to support landscape mode.
Display Orientation
Programmatically we can ask Windows what our current orientation is and even be notified about when it changes. We can do this through an API called Windows.Graphics.Display.DisplayProperties. Below I have have created a very simple function which switches currentOrientation updating an element in the DOM.
function updateDisplayOrientation() { switch (Windows.Graphics.Display.DisplayProperties.currentOrientation) { case Windows.Graphics.Display.DisplayOrientations.landscape: results.innerText = "Landscape"; break; case Windows.Graphics.Display.DisplayOrientations.portrait: results.innerText = "Portrait"; break; case Windows.Graphics.Display.DisplayOrientations.landscapeFlipped: results.innerText = "Landscape (flipped)"; break; case Windows.Graphics.Display.DisplayOrientations.portraitFlipped: results.innerText = "Portrait (flipped)"; break; default: results.innerText = "Unknown"; break; } }
While my updateDisplayOrientation function is pretty much a foolish example it becomes a bit more useful if we we're to actually hook it up to an event listener. Once our page is "ready" lets add an that eventListener on the "orientationchanged" calling our updateDisplayOrientation function.
.... results = document.getElementById("resultText"); var dispProp = Windows.Graphics.Display.DisplayProperties; dispProp.addEventListener("orientationchanged", updateDisplayOrientation, false); updateDisplayOrientation(); // call to set the inital state ....
Now when we rotate the device, our application should be updating an element on the screen with the state of our orientation.
Orientation Sensor
Working with the currentOrientation is pretty simple but also limiting to some regards. Devices these days have a multitude of supported sensors. This is also true for orientation and the Windows 8 SDK has provided us with the SimpleOrientationSensor found at Windows.Devices.Sensors.SimpleOrientationSensor. Unlike our our previous example, the SimpleOrientationSensor is an API over an actual hardware sensor so depending on your hardware the following may or may not work.
So, why another way? Great question and one I honestly scratched my head for a bit on this. I have come to my own conclusions it's to support the broadest set of hardware as well as fine grain control when you do have a sensor. Not every machine will have a physical sensor but the currentOrientation will always work. Now I know what you're thinking. Sure it does, one state, landscape. But that is actually not true. Depending on your graphic card you can actually rotate your monitor and have a different view. For example you could flip a monitor and have it in portrait mode. In this case the currentOrientation would in fact tell you that.
Back to SimpleOrientationSensor. Much like before I have setup another switch statement to see what position the sensor is in.
.... switch (e.orientation) { case Windows.Devices.Sensors.SimpleOrientation.notRotated: results.innerText = "Not Rotated"; break; case Windows.Devices.Sensors.SimpleOrientation.rotated90DegreesCounterclockwise: results.innerText = "Rotated 90"; break; case Windows.Devices.Sensors.SimpleOrientation.rotated180DegreesCounterclockwise: results.innerText = "Rotated 180"; break; case Windows.Devices.Sensors.SimpleOrientation.rotated270DegreesCounterclockwise: results.innerText = "Rotated 270"; break; case Windows.Devices.Sensors.SimpleOrientation.faceup: results.innerText = "Face Up"; break; case Windows.Devices.Sensors.SimpleOrientation.facedown: results.innerText = "Face Down"; break; default: results.innerText = "Undefined orientation " + e.orientation; break; } ....
And of course this is all find and dandy but much more useful if we can wire up to an event notifying us of a change. Like before we will wire up to the orientationchanged event but on our sensor this time. Of course you will want to check just to make sure you in fact have a sensor to even wire up to.
.... results = document.getElementById("resultText"); var sensor = Windows.Devices.Sensors.SimpleOrientationSensor.getDefault(); if ( sensor ) { sensor.addEventListener("orientationchanged", sensorOrientationChanged); results.innerText = "Sensor Found"; } else { results.innerText = "No Sensor Found"; } ....
At this point, we have an application that recognizes that device orientation has changed. That's all well and good for when we want to do something specific in code with orientation, but what if we just want to have our application re-orient itself to be readable/useable to our user? The responsive web CSS3 have clearly impacted how we design our Windows Store Application layouts. Windows supports four layouts for our application to take advantage of; Landscape, Portrait, Filled and Snapped. We support each of these layouts with CSS3 Media Queries.
Landscape View. By default our application starts as landscape. This is maximum real-estate you have, it's your canvas.
@media screen and (-ms-view-state: fullscreen-landscape)
Portrait View. Landscape on its side. What else?
@media screen and (-ms-view-state: fullscreen-portrait)
Snapped and Filled View. Here is where things start to get interesting and creative. In the simulator below on the left hand you see an app in the filled state and on the right you can see the application in the snapped state. Minimum screen resolution of 1366px x 768px required to support this.
@media screen and (-ms-view-state: snapped) @media screen and (-ms-view-state: filled)
This means you can actually run two applications side by side. That also means you may want to reconsider your user experience especially in the snapped view. Take a look at Microsoft's Finance Application. When your in snapped view, you get your favorites rather than the entire experience.
As I mentioned earlier we do this all through a CSS3 Media Query. In all of our views above you can see we're doing something simple like changing the background-color.
@media screen and (-ms-view-state: snapped) { body { -ms-grid-columns: 20px 1fr 20px; background-color: blue; font-size: large; } header[role=banner] { -ms-grid-columns: 20px 1fr; } }
Today, we took a look at how we can determine the orientation of a user's device, as well as how to use the new LayoutAwarePage item to manage the different visual states our app might encounter. There are tons of great examples on the web related to orientation and snap, but if there is ONE lesson you take away from today's article, it's this:
Your application MUST acknowledge the snapped state. Make sure you accommodate it.
Tomorrow, we're going to look at the Splash Screen. You've likely seen something like this before. It's the first thing your users will experience so let's make sure we get it right. See you then. You can get the entire solution and the tools below.
Take a look at an Indigo.Design sample application to learn more about how apps are created with design to code software.

Webmaster1985 needed a new logo design and created a contest on 99designs.
A winner was selected from 101 designs submitted by 32 freelance designers.
Blue Magic
Blue Magic Pty Ltd is a newly-formed company that will produce and distribute entertainment media for Australian children. This will primarily be in the form of 3D-animated, episodic television content and interactive books made for the iPad and other tablet-style devices.
The brand is fun, adventurous and focused on delivering quality, original content to youngsters through cable TV, online streaming channels, DVD/Blu-ray and mobile apps.
Our core target market is Australian children aged 2-10 (and their parents).
As noted below, the logo will also be used to represent us to Australian TV networks, production companies and content partners, so it needs to walk a delicate balance between professionalism and frivolity. It should be fun, but not overly childish (no child-style, hand-written fonts and no Comic Sans! :)).
The logo needs to be fun and accessible, but not cheesy or excessively juvenile. While the products are aimed at children, the logo will mainly be seen by parents, content partners and production companies, so it needs to be professional in tone.
The font should relatively chunky, so that it reproduces well online and in reduced formats. The "Pty Ltd" can be excluded from the design and the tagline "Children's Entertainment" can be included in a smaller size if you like.
Blue is obviously an important colour and a stylised flame effect may serve well as an icon to accompany the logo, but you're completely free to come up with a different approach if inspired in an alternative direction. An icon of some sort is a must-have.
It's important that this logo is delivered in vector format and that it looks good in both colour and mono, and when reduced in size (for use on the spine of a book cover, for example). If a commercial font is used, please ensure that it is royalty-free and affordable, as we're likely to use the logo font throughout other elements of the brand's style guide.

If there's one thing for which the automotive industry is known for, it's innovation and fearlessness in giving the public the vehicles it wants and needs. Since 1911, Chevrolet has been doing just that. The company, in its original form, was the result of a partnership between Louis Chevrolet and William C. Durant. Chevrolet was already well known for his automotive engineering expertise, as well as his racecar-driving abilities. Durant had the ideas and financial backers necessary to begin such an enormous undertaking.
The two started the Chevrolet company in 1911. However, it wasn't long before conflicting opinions separated the partners and Durant moved to another automotive firm. In 1918, Chevrolet made the decision to merge his company with General Motors. GM continues to be the parent company of Chevrolet.
Today, there are many different truck, SUV, and car models that made and sold with the Chevrolet name and bowtie logo including, from 1982 through 2005, the popular Cavalier. The Chevrolet Cavalier is one of the best-selling cars in the U.S.
Of the many features for which the Chevrolet Cavalier is known, one of the most telling is the popularity it enjoyed throughout its years of production. While smaller than other Chevy models, such as the Caprice, and not as powerful as the Camaro, the Cavalier is recognized for its dependable design and stylish body styles.
The Chevrolet Cavalier is a compact car that features Chevrolet's J-body platform and FF-layout design. Over the years, this model was offered in a two-door coupe, four-door sedan, hatchback couple, wagon, and convertible body styles.
It is also important to note that many mechanics complain about the engine and transmission layout of the Cavalier series. These cars can be difficult to repair because of their engine layout. There are many points on the Cavalier engine that require it to be raised or lowered to allow a mechanic access. In some cases, specialty tools are necessary for repairs.
Even with these problems the Cavalier was still one of the most sought-after models in terms of reliability and comfort, in part due to the car's various useful and effective features. Most Cavalier owners are very happy with their choice of vehicle, whether they own a sedan, coupe, or wagon style.
The 2005 Chevrolet Cavalier boasts few updates from previous models but retains one of the main points that made it popular: its low price. Additionally, the 2005 model features fuel economy benefits, providing up to 33 mpg highway.
Standard Cavalier styles feature a 120-horsepower, four-cylinder engine with a 2.2-liter capacity. The basic model includes few amenities, offering factory air conditioning and AM/FM stereo. However, starting with the 2004 model, the Cavalier provided improvements in its stereo system, with CD and MP3 playback options.
As its budget-friendly price may suggest, the Cavalier is typically considered to provide an acceptable but not exceptional driving experience. In terms of safety, the car leaves something to be desired as well; it does not enjoy high safety ratings or crash test scores. Another quibble that many critics have with the Cavalier is its lower-quality and outdated interior finishes.
Prior to the final year's model, the Cavalier enjoyed three generations of designs, each of which added something new to the car's offerings. The first generation of Cavaliers was noted for its four-cylinder pushrod engine, front-wheel–drive design, and variety of available body styles. The Cavalier at this time was offered in two-door and four-door options, as well as station-wagon and hatchback styles.
The second generation of Chevrolet Cavalier featured many changes to the car's original design. The Cavalier coupe's exterior was completely redesigned and offered a new trunk layout. The sedan and station wagon were left with the original design for the back end, while the front of the cars was overhauled for a more modern appearance.
With the exception of the final Chevrolet Cavalier models, thethird generation of Cavalier featured the most up-to-date changes yet for the compact car. This third generation saw the end of the Cavalier wagon, but also saw updated designs for the rest of the Cavalier family. All included a four-cylinder engine and sleeker exterior design.
2005 Chevrolet Cavalier
Compact, Coupe, Sedan, Sports
The 2005 Cavalier is Chevrolet's smallest car produced from 1983 to 2005.
2004 Chevrolet Cavalier
Compact, Coupe, Sedan
The 2004 Chevrolet Cavalier shows a fresh restyle from the previous year and remains one of Chevy's strongest sellers in its passenger car lineup.
2003 Chevrolet Cavalier
The 2003 Chevrolet Cavalier comes with a sedan body design that looks dated.
2002 Chevrolet Cavalier
The 2002 Chevrolet Cavalier is currently in its third generation with the last redesign occurring in 1995.
2001 Chevrolet Cavalier
The 2001 Chevrolet Cavalier is a compact car that has been in production since 1982 by General Motors (GM).
2000 Chevrolet Cavalier
Compact, Convertible, Coupe, Sedan
The 2000 Chevrolet Cavalier is a compact car manufactured by General Motors (GM).
1999 Chevrolet Cavalier
The Chevrolet Cavalier is a compact car available in a range of body styles.
1998 Chevrolet Cavalier
The 1998 Chevrolet Cavalier classifies as a compact car manufactured from 1982 by General Motors.
1997 Chevrolet Cavalier
Offering a stylish design, the 1997 Chevrolet Cavalier has been a top-seller for Chevrolet, featuring a competitive price among other cars of its class.
1996 Chevrolet Cavalier
The 1996 Chevrolet Cavalier is a nice looking economy car that is available as a sedan, coupe, or convertible in three different models.
1995 Chevrolet Cavalier
The 1995 Chevrolet Cavalier introduced the all-new third generation of the model, and it has been completely redesigned with a more modern design and larger body.

Partisan Piracy: Conservative Filmmakers Accuse Obama Supporters Of Uploading Their Film To Youtube
from the believing-in-the-same-fallacy-unites-the-parties deptPiracy is usually the scapegoat trotted out by various declining industries and pointed at angrily for supposedly single-handedly destroying them. Generally, it's content creators and various gatekeepers (mostly the latter) doing most of the pointing (and lobbying). In the normal scheme of things, the gatekeepers are all on the same side, united against filesharers. That's the status quo.
For the first time in memory, one entity has accused another in the same field (politics) of using piracy as a weapon. In this strange case, conservative filmmakers are accusing Obama supporters of uploading the full version of their documentary, "2016: Obama's America," to YouTube in order to harm box office sales.
The film, the second-highest-grossing political documentary in U.S. box-office history, has made $32 million domestically since opening in mid July but took in only $938,000 during the recent weekend for a per-screen average of $771, down 27 percent from $1,060 per screen in the previous weekend, according to BoxOfficeMojo. Overall, the movie's box-office dropped 53 percent in the most recent weekend compared with the previous one, its largest decline since opening 10 weeks ago.The filmmakers contacted the FBI about the possible piracy and the user who uploaded the full film has taken it offline. In addition, mass emailings announced the (fake) news that Fox News would be showing the movie for free last Sunday. Many bloggers and websites ran with the story, but most have issued retractions.
While such a drop isn't unusual for a movie during the course of a week -- especially when the theater count dropped from 1,876 to 1,216 -- filmmakers nevertheless say box-office results were artificially depressed for two reasons: a disinformation campaign spreading the false rumor that Fox News Channel would be showing the movie in its entirety Sunday and a pirated version of the film showing up on YouTube this weekend.
The whole situation is a bit odd. Obama's official website issued a post criticizing the film and one of its creators, Dinesh D'Souza, saying he has a "long history of attempting to add a veneer of intellectual respectability to fringe theories, conspiratorial fear-mongering and flat-out falsehoods." One wouldn't normally expect the President (or at least, a high-ranking spokesperson) to respond to a clearly political documentary. Perhaps the fact that "2016: Obama's America" is now the second-highest grossing political documentary added a bit of pressure.
However, while it's clear that some sort of misinformation campaign took place, it's a stretch to lay the dropoff in ticket sales on the "dirty tricks" of Obama supporters. It's fairly common for movies to experience large dropoffs in ticket sales from week-to-week. It's also fairly common for movies to get pirated. The other argument against a "concerted effort" to tank box office receipts is the timing. "2016:Obama's America" has been in the theaters 10 weeks and is due for a DVD release in October. As Zac Gille at Alt Film Guide asks: "Why now? Why not two months ago?"
"The reports of the movie appearing on Fox before the election are completely untrue," Dinesh D'Souza declared, "and we strongly suspect that they are the result of dirty tricks by our opponents who spread this rumor in order to confuse the general public and keep them from going to their local theaters."Even if it turns out that a few Obama supporters did mount an effort to tank ticket sales, it would be tough to separate any possible impact from the misinformation campaign from the normal sales decline of any theatrical release. If anything, the piracy and misinformation plan backfired as the particularly loud response from the filmmakers can't help but draw more attention to the 10 week old film. Not only that, but uploading the movie to YouTube where it could be watched for free drives more viewers (and potential voters) to the film itself, a side effect the film's (alleged) opponents couldn't possibly have intended. However this turns out, we have a new tactic to add to the piracy pantheon -- piracy as political sabotage.
If so, what an idiotic waste of time on the part of D'Souza's and 2016 Obama's America's "opponents." After all, the 2016 movie is fast on its way out.
So, why on earth would anyone in his/her right (or left, as the case may be) mind want to keep people "from going to their local theaters" to watch a movie that so few moviegoers care about at this stage? If an organized anti-2016 Obama's America effort truly exists, then those guys have arrived on the scene a little too late. They should have acted five weeks ago, when the 2016 movie began its initially popular expansion.

Swirlydoos August Poetry En Prose and Blog Hop.
If you've arrived here from Maiko's blog, then you are on the right track! If you are one of my regular followers then head on over to the Swirlydoos Blog and join in the fun!
This month, I mixed it up a little. I did 3 layouts, a canvas project and another alphabet tile tutorial. Of course created the butterfly tutorial to match the kit. I will leave the flower tutorial for another day. Here are my DT reveals for the beautiful August kit "Poetry En Prose"...
You may remember this layout as a tease and my reveal for Heartfelt Creations. A match made in Heaven for me. You can see my post from Wednesday for details and closeups.
This Layout was done on a 12 x 12 canvas. Lisa Valentine took the She Art Class, and I purchased a wonderful book called Collage Couture. Lisa was my inspiration as she did a canvas, but what I learned was in the book. The canvas was a gift to my daughter for her birthday yesterday as she is on the home stretch of her Culinary studies at Le Cordon Bleu. Transferring from Portland Oregon to Orlando Florida so she can do her externship here close to home. A true Floridian at heart, the mermaid symbolizes her return to home having risen from a tough year in Portland.
The quote reads..."She turned her cant's into cans and her dreams into plans".
Just some closeups of the canvas.
I stamped the edges of the canvas, and on one side I stamped a small sentiment to my daughter.
A close up of the mermaid. I created the body from punched circles that were inked and layered. The fins were run through my crimper then inked as well.
This next layout is my sisters grandaughter Nikki in her summer dress.
I left the birdcage in the raw state. I stamped and die cut some Heartfelt Creations leaves.
The letters were created from a new tutorial for alphabet tiles that will be found at the end of this post.
I mixed Prima, Petaloo and my own flowers for the cluster.
I also created a new butterfly file to match the kit perfectly. I will post the file at the end of this post as well.
This next layout is of my friend Tanya on her wedding day. The strip was created with one of my Martha Stewart punches. The roses were created using Heartfelt Creations Botanicals stamp and Donna Salazar Spellbinders Rose creations die.
Another butterfly form the new butterfly file.
Just a closeup of the leaves and flowers.
Another closeup of the trellis I created for the flowers.
Another closeup of one of the butterflies.
REMEMBER, to qualify for the grand prize you need to:
1) visit all of the blogs, including Swirlydoos, in order to qualify.
2) Be sure to leave a comment and become a follower of each blog (if you haven't already). This way we know that you have joined in the party! This is what you can win. A beautiful Bo Bunny Mini Album kit!! it really isn't so mini.
You have through 5pm Eastern time on Sunday August 7th to complete the hop!! All entries will be entered into the drawing for our Grand Prize!!! This month's prize will this completely gorgeous kit made up of Bo Bunny product!!
You are at the end of the Blog hop. I hope you enjoyed this months reveal and been inspired!! Winner will be announced on the Swirlydoos blog on August 8th. Good luck and thank you for joining us!!
Down load a copy of the butterfly file.
These are the files for the Alpah Tile Tutorial. Just follow the same directions as in the Faux Scrabble Tile tutorial. If you print the files on 5 x 7 card stock, you will end up with a tile that is a little less than one inch. You can cut a 1 inch mat and adhere tiles to the mat to create a 1 inch tile.

|Paul Willis
Whenever someone leaves a comment on my blog I take a look at his/her profile.
Paul Willis' profile led me to his very attractive and information rich genealogy website. As I wanted to find more about the man behind the site I sent Paul an invitation to submit a profile to GeniMates.
Thanks, Paul, for your prompt response and for sharing your story with us.
Date 29 April 2011
Name Paul Willis
Hometown Hawkhurst, Kent, UK, but now living in Gainsborough, Lincolnshire, UK
Are you a Hobbyist or Professional Genealogist? Very keen [almost obsessive] Hobbyist!
What is your day job? I'm a Civil Servant, working in a Job Centre
How long have you been chasing ancestors? Since January 2008
How did you get hooked on genealogy? It all started after I was diagnosed with depression in 2008 and was off work for three months. I took the opportunity to stay with my parents in the Scottish Highlands and while they dug out the research my dad had done in to the family history back in the 1970s. He hadn't been able to get very far (no Internet in those days!) but there was also a bundle of old photos and letters which fascinated me. In particular a four-page letter from my grandmother's sister, Lizzie, to her family written in 1919 when she was employed as a domestic servant in a house in Cheltenham, Gloucestershire. As I read it I was fascinated by the mention of my grandmother's name and those of her parents and siblings, but also intrigued by the reference to members of the household where she was working. Following a lot of research I was able to finally set out a full picture of the context and background to the letter. Its now on my website at http://www.thewillistree.info/stories/?p=40
What, if any, formal or informal studies have you undertaken that are relevant to genealogical research? I can honestly say I've had no formal or informal training. I've picked up everything I know from my own journey into my family's history - through magazines, books and hints from others.
What are your areas of Expertise in Genealogy? I woudn't say I have one, but I guess I have become quite good at researching the lives of those from my family tree who died during the two World Wars. I set up a separate website called 'The Roll of Honour' to set out this research. I've been able to set out there in hopefully a reverent way the details of each individual and as much information as possible, including links to their service records, and their entry on the Commonwealth War Graves Commission website.
Its been humbling to discover their stories, in particular instances where brothers were killed in action, or those who died while still in their teens, or left behind young families.
Please outline your involvement in Genealogy Societies and Groups. To be honest I have no connection to any Genealogy Societies.... I am somewhat at a disadvantage living so far from my geographical area of study!
What are the lands of your ancestors? My ancestors come predominantly from the area around the East Kent coast in England. One strand (my dad's mother's paternal line) comes from South Devon but yep for the most part everyone is rooted in Dover!
What Family Names are you Researching? Willis, Hopper, Huggins, Gurnsey, Greenland, Kingsnorth, Nicholls (thats the Devon connection!), Collard, Harvey, Hare are the main ones.
Who is your favourite ancestor? Why? A difficult question with so many to choose from! I have links going back to the knights of Normandy so I could choose one of them! But at the moment my favourite is alot closer to home - my Great-Grandfather, William Nicholls (1870-1932). He was born in East Allington, a tiny village in Devon, but within two years he and his parents and older sister were living in Fort St George in Madras, India. His father was a Gunner in the Royal Artillery and had been stationed there after completing his training in Essex the previous year.
William's father died sometime between 1876 and 1878, and his mother Ellen married John Gorman - another Gunner - in Bengal in 1878. In 1880 the family were in Burma where William's half-brother John was born; no mention of them in the 1881 Census, but in 1883 they were in Dover Castle Barracks, where Patrick - another half-brother - was born.
In 1891 William was 23 and a boarding with a family in Dover, while his mother and step-family were living in Devon! He married his sweetheart, Susannah Kingsnorth in 1895 in Faversham in north Kent and the couple went on the have seven children. Two of those children died, and of the remaining five only one (my grandmother) went on to marry - and only then when she was 41 years old!
The full story can be read here: http://www.thewillistree.info/stories/?p=5
What ancestral city or town would you like to visit? Why? I'd love to go back to Dover again. Although I wasn't born in the town and have never actually lived there, I have wonderful memories of visiting both sets of grandparents there in the 1970s and 1980s as its the area where my parents grew up. I did go back in 2008 for a week to do some family history research but another visit would be great!
Also, I would love to visit the town of West Newbury in Massachusetts USA. Its where a whole branch of the Willis family settled after emigrating from the Kent village of Barham back in the 1830s and 1840s.
What is your favourite resource for genealogy? I have to resist saying 'the internet!' and instead say that my favourite resource has to be people! Since starting my research I've made contact with over 100 people who have also been researching their part of the tree and we've been able to share information and media with each other, and realise that we are related - albeit 2nd, 3rd or 4th cousins, or whatever!
I would also mention a book called 'The Genealogist's Internet' written by Peter Christian (http://www.spub.co.uk/tgi4/index.php) which is about as comprehensive a round-up of online genealogical resources as you're likely to find
Do you keep your genealogy files on paper? Yes
Do you keep your genealogy files on a computer? Yes
What genealogy software do you use to record your family tree? I tend to use my online site (Editor's note: TNG) to record additions and updates, but also have a copy of Personal Ancestral File [PAF] on my laptop for those 'offline' periods!
Do you have your tree posted on the internet? Yes
If Yes What is the URL?
What Social Networking Sites do you use for genealogy? Facebook, Genes Reunited
Do you have a blog? No
What are your Other Hobbies, Activities, Interests? Watching movies, reading my Amazon Kindle, watching TV shows to do with history, watching episodes of 'Who Do You Think You Are?' on DVD...
What is your favourite lesiure time activity apart from genealogy Spending time with family...
What is your favourite (non genealogy) book? "Dover Harbour" by Thomas Armstrong, published in the 1940s. A historical novel set in the town during the turn of the 19th Century...
What is your personal philosophy in a few words ? I suppose take life as it comes, seek the good in everyone, treat people as you would like to be treated, and never lose your sense of humour!

George R. R. Martin
Read By: Roy Dotrice
Science Fiction & Fantasy > Fantasy: Epic
In a time long forgotten, a preternatural event threw the seasons off balance. In a land where summers can last decades and winters a lifetime, trouble is brewing. As the cold returns, sinister forces are massing beyond the protective wall of the kingdom of Winterfell. To the south, the king's powers are failing, with his most trusted advisor mysteriously dead and enemies emerging from the throne's shadow. At the center of the conflict, the Starks of Winterfell hold the key: a reluctant Lord Eddard is summoned to serve as the king's new Hand, an appointment that threatens to sunder both family and kingdom. In this land of extremes, plots and counterplots, soldiers and sorcerers, each side fights to win the deadliest of conflicts: the game of thrones.

Friday, May 17, 2013 - Wank Party 2013 #04, Part 1
For Wank Party 2013 #4 we brought together 5 really great guys, Roman Koroza, Jan Mikulec, Radel Kozel, Adam Rupert and Julius Sekac. In this first part we find Jan and Radek sitting, in their army uniforms, on a bed and playing cards. Julius and Roman are on another bed, in just their boxers. They ask why the guys are playing cards, which they think is boring. Julius suggests that he has something more interesting to do. He pulls out a cigarette, which all the others inspect. Then he lights the cigarette and begins to smoke it, passing it around. As they smoke officer Adam comes in and they quickly stand to attention. Adam is angry about the playing cards and makes the guys put out a hand to be caned. As he reaches Julius' hand he sees the cigarette which makes him more angry. He tells Julius to do some push-ups. Then Roman has to do the same. Radek is then told to do some squats. When it is Jan's turn he has to do push-ups and squats. Jan is then made to strip to his boxers. Julius is told to do the same, but since he isn't wearing boxers he ends up completely naked. Roman, who is standing next to him is told to take hold of Radek's cock and wank it, as a punishment for messing up. Then Julius and Jan are made to remove their boxers. Radek has to wank Julius, who in turn is told to wank Jan. Roman is made to get naked too. As Adam lectures the guys their cocks respond to the wanking. Adam then opens his pants and has Jan begin to wank him too. Julius is then ordered to get on his knees and suck Jan. He only does so for a short time before being told to do the same to Adam. Then he has to move and suck Radek, followed by Roman. All their cocks get rock hard and Adam kisses Jan. Julius is allowed to stand and he kisses Radek, as Roman is told to start sucking. He drops to his knees and takes Radek's big dick in his mouth. After kissing some more Jan goes down on Adam's throbbing cock. Radek and Julius lay on one of the beds, with Roman following to continue his sucking. Radek leans over and takes Julius' cock in his mouth. They change around so that Adam sucks on Jan's hard cock and Roman lays next to Radek, kissing him, with Julius sucking cock. Roman moves and sits between Julius and Radek as Jan and Adam start to 69. Roman goes down on Julius who is rock hard. Roman is hot for cock now and he sucks on Radek who is standing next to Jan. Adam, meanwhile has started to suck on Julius. Quickly Julius returns the favour as Roman gets on his knees for Radek to rim his tight hole. Adam reaches over to finger Roman's ass. Then he gets on his knees for Julius to tongue his hole as well. Radek resumes his rimming as Roman and Adam kiss each other. Then Radek moves aside so that Jan can rim Roman's hot hole. Which is where we leave the guys for this part, promising some more great action for part 2.

Our Coming Soon Set Preview
David Koral and Walter Uwe are two really good looking guys. We brought them in for a duo. We find them in just their underwear, with David relaxing on the couch and Walter laying on the floor. David reaches down and begins to run a hand all over Walter's body. The hand rubs and squeezes Walter's groin, feeling his cock. He then leans over and begins to kiss his friend. Releasing Walter's cock from his shorts David begins to wank it. Then Walter moves onto the couch, next to David who immediately begins to suck on his cock. With the underwear removed Walter's cock is easily accessible and soon gets nice and hard under David's sucking. With Walter's big, heavy balls hanging down and his cock enclosed by David's mouth it is a great sight. Then David sits back up and Walter goes down on his cock. His mouth works all over the cock and he licks on David's balls. David moves onto his knees, his cock poking out nicely for Walter to suck on it. He grabs David's head and starts to fuck his face. Then Walter moves up and kisses David again. With both those cocks hard David takes hold of them together and wanks them. David turns around and present his ass to Walter who happily gets down and begins to rim that hot, hairy hole. His tongue laps up and down the ass crack, all over the hole. Then Walter slides his big, hard cock into the waiting ass. Holding onto David's hips he thrusts himself in and out, with nice long strokes. David's cock is rock hard as he feels it. He reaches up with a hard around Walter's neck, lifting himself so that his ass is spread so well, and Walter deep fucking his hole. Then Walter sits on the sofa and David climbs on, sitting his ass right down on that stiff dick. He rides it up and down, as he wanks his cock. It's not long before Walter is ready to cum, so David kneels in front of him and takes a massive creamy load all over his face. Then he sucks and licks that big spent dick clean to end a wonderful scene.

I've found out how to measure for a skateboard for Jackie, the Jack Daniels dog. The one we bought for her is too small built for an infant human. She needs, according to all my research, a skateboard that is slightly longer and wider than she is. That won't be easy to find, but I'll start looking this afternoon. Meanwhile, she has learned everything she can on the infant's skateboard. The rest, hopefully, will be child's play. This afternoon more guests, derfla from Prague Buddies chat will arrive in Prague. We'll probably do a grill party in the back yard during the coming days.
Meanwhile, today we're posting Part One of our 4th Wank Party. That means my full length Backstage Documentary won't remain in the can too much longer.
Today we lead off with part one of Wank Party 2013 #4, with a stellar cast. Then we have Jano Drotar's erotic video and Eduard Kernel's session stills as well as a backstage video of Mattias Solich and Daniel Sebesta.
We have a great set of castees today, Tobias Zuker, Marian Lytko and Martin Nepostavil. All three look very good to me, but the clear choice today is Tobias Zuker.

The main facility in the School is situated in the Department of Pathology. There are also facilities in some institutes.
What is Flow Cytometry?
Flow cytometry is a generic name for techniques which involve the analysis and/or separation of particles in a flowing stream by quantification of optical parameters. As widely practised today this routinely uses suspensions of living or fixed cells which are streamed past one or more laser illumination intercepts from which a variety of light scattering and fluorescence parameters are detected by means of photomultiplier tubes (or photodiodes). Although these techniques are most widely used in mammalian biology, they can be applied to almost any particle with useful optical properties including bacteria, viruses, sub-cellular organelles and artificial particles, for example polystyrene beads bearing ligands or antibodies.
The range of commercially available machines includes analytical cytometers capable of evaluating 10+ optical parameters of 50,000 cells in a few seconds or quantitating the level of 10 different cytokines simultaneously.
History of Flow Cytometry in the Department of Pathology
Pathology in Cambridge was one of the first departments in the UK to acquire a flow cytometer capable of separating cells when Alan Munro purchased an Ortho 50-H in 1979. The department has maintained a flow cytometry facility since that time and has thereby acquired extensive experience of operating a range of machines and managing a flow cytometry facility. We currently have a DakoCytomation MoFlo MLS high-speed cell sorter, a BectonDickinson FACScan analyser, a DakoCytomation Cyan ADP MLE analyser and Cytek DxP8 analyser.
Training courses
The Mid Anglia Cytometry Club held a half-day course entitled "Basic Flow Cytometry". As part of this, Nick Holmes gave a presentation on Data Analysis - you can see a slightly amended version of this presentation on the left (as a PowerPointShow)

"Plant the Spirit of the Rifleman"
PBS Film Ignites Fathers' Rights Debate
Special to TLE
A father is demanding a public retraction from the Public Broadcasting System and threatening to sue for libel after the network broadcast a show that he says wrongly portrayed him as an abusive husband and father.
Dr. Scott Loeliger says the producers of the show ignored extensive court findings, records and testimony that he claims prove it was his ex-wife, and not he, who abused their daughter and her half-sister. (To view copies of court documents, testimonials, expert reports, etc. see http://www.glennsacks.com/pbs/loeliger.php)
Loeliger, a medical doctor in Northern California, says he provided documentation of the mother's abuse to a co-producer of the show, "Breaking the Silence: Children's Stories," six months before it aired, and that his pleas to have his case removed from the show were ignored.
Aired by PBS on Oct. 20, the much-publicized documentary presents "children and battered mothers [who] tell their stories of abuse at home and continued trauma within the courts," which allegedly return children to abusive parents.
A spokeswoman for PBS, Director of Corporate Communications Jan McNamara, says the accuracy of "Breaking the Silence" is under "official review."
In the show, Loeliger's daughter, identified as Amina, now 16, says: "My father has a way of making important people...[believe]...he is a good father and he has never done anything wrong and that I am almost crazy and abusive."
But Loeliger says Amina's mother lost custody of Amina and her half-sister on Aug. 19, 1998, when a Tulare County, Calif., juvenile court found her liable for eight counts of child abuse, including physical abuse.
Loeliger received full custody of Amina in 1998; a torturous custody battle ensued over the next six years until, at Amina's request, full custody was returned to the mother in 2004.
Last April, the father provided documentation of the his ex-wife's abuse to co-producer Dominique Lasseur of Tatge-Lasseur, a New York-based production company.
Five letters ensued, two from Loeliger's attorney, Dennis Roberts.
Loeliger demanded the removal of the segment with Amina and her mother. Lasseur responded by email, "whatever may have happened in..." Amina's..."early childhood, the courts at this time are not persuaded by your arguments and have awarded physical custody...to her mother."
Lasseur gave assurance that real names would not be used and extended a disclaimer to Loeliger, who refused to be interviewed for the documentary. The father explained, "I didn't want to be on national TV 'outing' my daughter as a liar or debating about her life."
The disclaimer is displayed at the end of the segment featuring Amina and her mother. It reads, "Amina's father...contends that her mother deliberately alienated her from him. He is trying to regain physical custody of her through court proceedings."
The controversy is broader than one father's protest.
The show argues against what has become a cause celebre in the father's rights movement: Parental Alienation Syndrome (PAS). PAS is said to occur when one parent willfully causes a child to become indifferent or hateful towards the other parent. Father's rights advocates point to PAS to explain the hostility and accusations expressed by some children toward alienated parents, usually fathers.
Critics of the fathers' rights movement and "Breaking the Silence" contend that PAS does not exist as a valid psychiatric syndrome.
National radio host Glenn Sacks launched a campaign to protest what he called the film's "extremely one-sided" "harmful and inaccurate view of divorce and child custody cases."
In an article entitled "PBS Declares War on Dads", Sacks not only disputed the premise of the documentary -- that courts assign custody to abusive fathers -- but also its use of statistics. PBS has reportedly received over 6,000 protest calls, emails and letters.
Women's rights organizations have launched a counter-effort. The National Organization for Women advised their membership to send emails of support to PBS, noting, "Your emails are especially important, as we know that PBS is being flooded with emails from bogus 'fathers' rights' activists opposing the airing of the film."
The documentary's ultimate credibility may hinge on one question: does it incorrectly portray Amina's mother as an heroic mom instead of a child abuser?
Loeliger's argument that he and the mother have been misrepresented has precedent. Loeliger says he first learned of the accusations of his abuse through a Jan. 20, 2005 Davis Enterprise article titled "Teen Turns Tug-of-War Lessons Into Message." It claimed that Loeliger had verbally and physically abused his daughter.
On April 5, the Enterprise published a retraction and an apology to Loeliger, stating that the story "contained many factual inaccuracies."
The stakes on a comparable apology from PBS are high.
Amina has become one of the public faces of child abuse promoted by organizations such as the Courageous Kids Network (CKN), a California group that endorsed "Breaking the Silence." CKN is self-described as "a growing group of young people, whose childhood was shattered by biased and inhumane court rulings, which forced us to live with our abusive parent, while restricting or sometimes completely eliminating contact with our loving and protective parent."
Such advocates point to "Breaking the Silence" as a reason to reform the family court system. But Loeliger and father's rights advocates demand verification for the stories and statistics upon which future policy may be based.
Both sides are in eloquent agreement on one point: they wish to protect children.

Bally Total Fitness, Chicago, has named Marc Tascher as its new president and CEO and has added him to its board of directors.
The announcement was made in a company memo Monday.
Tascher will be responsible for overseeing all of Bally's operations, including its strategy, direction, growth and long-term planning, according to the memo obtained by Club Industry.
Tascher takes over for Mike Sheehan, who was appointed Bally CEO in 2008. Sheehan, who came to Bally after having served as the COO of 24 Hour Fitness, San Ramon, CA, says he left Bally at the end of July. His exit has been in the works for months, he adds, after Bally sold 171 clubs to LA Fitness last November.
"There is a great team that is stepping up and taking on the leadership roles," Sheehan said in a text late Monday night.
Tascher has more than 35 years in the fitness industry. He co-founded and later served as chairman and CEO of Town Sports International (TSI), New York, which operates New York Sports Clubs, Boston Sports Clubs, Washington Sports Clubs and Philadelphia Sports Clubs. After 22 years at TSI, in which he built the company from one squash club to one of the largest chains in the country, Tascher sold the company and built Sports and Fitness Ventures.
In 2005, Tascher and Angelo Gordon & Co. entered into an agreement to purchase Crunch, New York, and its 21 clubs from Bally for $45 million in cash. The acquisition was finalized in January 2006. Tascher was named the chairman and CEO of Crunch, but he stepped down as CEO just six months later.
Since 2006, Tascher has owned, operated and provided management and consulting services to other fitness clubs, including Altheus, Healthtrax, Rock Creek Sports Club and Healthy Fit for Women, according to the memo.
"Given Marc's background, as well as his demonstrated entrepreneurial and leadership skills, the Board of Directors believes that Marc is ideally suited to lead the Bally team," the company said in the memo.
Tascher has a tall task ahead of him. Bally, which ranked No. 5 on Club Industry's Top 100 Clubs list this year with a reported $468 million in 2011 revenue, is down to less than 60 clubs. In addition to selling the 171 clubs to LA Fitness for $153 million, Bally sold 39 clubs to Blast Fitness, Auburndale, MA, earlier this year. Terms of that deal were not disclosed.

Motivational Techniques for Exercising
Most experts can pretty much agree that in order to stick to an exercise routine, you need to find a reason to carry on, even when that little voice inside you is telling you to get a glass of wine and relax on the couch. It is apparent that knowing all the benefits of exercising regularly is still not enough to get us up and moving. It can be hard for some of us to start an exercise routine after a lapse. It can be difficult to find our rhythm again and get back into our groove, especially if we are fitness newbies and out of shape. We need to find something that makes us overcome all of our fears and helps us stick with our fitness routine.
Be reasonable
Most people who are just starting a fitness routine tend to set unreasonable goals. They want to go all in and aim high, but this can be detrimental to your fitness routine. It can feel great thinking that you will start seeing results immediately, but you should know that this will not be the case. It takes time, and when people start out with huge goals, they are setting themselves up for failure. We will become frustrated and upset when we do not see the results that we want, and this may lead to us giving up on our fitness routine. However, if you focus on smaller goals, such as being able to workout longer or adding an extra day to your fitness routine, you will see better results for your goals. This can give you the sense of accomplishment and allow you to stick to your fitness routine.
Keep a written record
Just as some people find it necessary to keep a food journal to stick to their diet, some people find it necessary to keep a fitness journal to stick to their fitness routine. A fitness journal is used to keep track of everything you did and how long you did it. With a written record, you can get a better sense of accountability and responsibility. You can easily see how much you are advancing and how close you are to reaching your goals. We can track our progress and see what areas may need improvement. This method is also a way to get a sense of accomplishment by allowing us to see our progress, and this can help us stick to our fitness routine.
Find something you love
It can be easy to stick to a fitness routine if you choose something that peaks your interest. For many of us, it is easy to look at exercise as work and not fun; however, if we can change this perception then we will be closer to achieving our goals. When you decide to start a fitness routine, you need to remember that you do not need to go to the gym and run for hours on a treadmill. There are so many different types of fitness routines out there for you to choose. You can choose zumba, kickboxing, yoga or even hiking. The options are limitless, so why not decide on something that gets you excited?
Have a set schedule
It can be difficult in our hectic lives to find enough time to exercise. It is important to make a schedule and stick to it. You have to view exercise as a top priority in your life. It is necessary for us to live a happy and healthy life, so it should be pretty high up on your list. This fact alone should be enough to make you find the time to do it, and for many of us this means that we will have to write it down or enter it into our online calendars. Whatever we need to do, we should do it. It is important to follow our schedule and try to eliminate as many distractions or interruptions from that block of time. Finding the time to exercise is many people's excuse for not exercising, so it is important to eliminate this excuse, in order to stick to our fitness routine.
Reward yourself
A fitness routine involves a lot of hard work and determination. It is not easy, and you should reward yourself if you are making progress. It is best to try to stay away from food for this because you may just undo all the progress you made, especially if you go on a binge. However, there are other things you may enjoy just as much as food. You can go buy some new clothes to fit your hot new body, flowers, jewelry, or even a vacation to flaunt all your hard work. You could go out to a sporting event, a dance club or a concert. The important part is to allow yourself a little indulgence to improve your mind-body connection. You need to remember the whole reason you are getting to savor this moment is because of all your hard work and determination. It can feel great that you are accomplishing something, and the reward just makes it feel a little bit better.
It can be difficult for us to kick start a new fitness routine. We need to find something that can get us up and going. It can be hard to find out what motivates us and to find the courage to go after it. However, in the long run your body will be thanking you for all your hard work.

The first unit of Roberto Cavalli's latest venture, Cavalli Club, is set to open in Dubai in November, and a second store is to launch in Florence by yearend. A club on the U.S. West Coast also is planned.
The designer's partner in the new business is the Pragma Group, an investment, outsourcing and business incubator based in the United Arab Emirates.
"Dubai is a city of the future and the Cavalli Club is a futuristic space created with a global perspective," Cavalli said.
Located in the Fairmont Hotel, the 27,000-square-foot club will cover two floors and will have its own private entrance. The designer said his goal is to create "exclusive and luxurious" interiors with "exciting shapes and precious materials."
The black quartz floors will shine with a crystal dust and dripping Swarovski crystals will light the 20-foot high walls.
On the ground floor, the entrance hall leads to a large room showcasing the designer's jewelry, watches and most exclusive accessories collections. The designer will also select top Italian
Regarding this new entertainment and night-life concept, Cavalli said, "living against monotony, with the enjoyment of music, of good food, of pleasant company" was the club's philosophy. In his goal to offer "multiple culinary and sensorial experiences," Cavalli plans an Italian restaurant flanked by a sushi bar and a wine bar on the top floor.

Patriot Day Program Guide 511K
Mayor Coleen Seng today invited Lincoln area residents to observe the second anniversary of the terrorist attacks on America by attending "Patriot Day – Lincoln Remembers," a community memorial ceremony at noon Thursday, September 11 at the Veterans Memorial Garden in Antelope Park. The U.S. Congress designated September 11 as "'Patriot Day" and asked local governments to observe the day with appropriate programs.
"This is an opportunity to come together to remember those who lost their lives in the attacks and to honor our emergency responders and our military, who put their lives on the line every day to protect us," said Mayor Seng.
The program is being organized by the City of Lincoln and the Mayor's Advisory Council for the Veterans Memorial Garden. Speakers will include Mayor Seng, Governor Mike Johanns, Lincoln Police Chief Tom Casady and State Adjutant General Roger Lempke. The keynote speaker will be Lincoln Fire Chief Mike Spadt, who participated in operations in New York as leader of the Urban Search and Rescue Team based in Lincoln.
The public is invited to tour the Garden before and after the program, and the Mayor's Advisory Council will have members available to answer questions about the memorials. Music from Lincoln Pipe and Drum will begin at 11:30 a.m. and members of the Lincoln High School Band will perform for about 30 minutes after the program.
Bench seating will be available, but those attending are encouraged to bring lawn chairs. Refreshments will be available in the enclosed shelter north of the Garden. Parking is available north and south of the Auld Recreation Center, with overflow parking available at the Folsom Children's Zoo. Handicapped parking is available south of Auld.
