It probably is pretty safe to assume that E-Mail Fundraising is not a flash in the pan, but, rather, will be a major weapon in the arsenal of every email marketing firm in the nation for ad infinitum. Scattered across the world wide web is tidbits of information and suggestions posted by various e-mail marketing experts meant to help give a better understanding of email marketing. While each and everyone may be valuable, it could be painstakingly difficult to fetter them out and paint a picture with a broad enough scope to actually let you know how to attain success in this realm. That's why, as successful email marketing professional, I thought it would be prudent to take time to share a plethora of suggestions that have helped Pathmaker Marketing LLC in their quest of becoming a successful professional e-mail marketing firm in the realm of e-fundraising. So, below is a comprehensive "what to do" guide for enjoying E-mail Fundraising success.
1. TEST – TEST – TEST – Constantly. In email fundraising there are some variables that you can control and some that you can't. What you can control is when you send and how you design your emails and how you design your Landing Pages. What you can't control is what's happening in the news and how people feel about the economy. As a result, you want to make sure that you are using your very best efforts in the areas you do control in your quest for funds.
One thing you will want to do is run "split tests" – double, triple, or quadruple splits. You should run these on your creatives, as different versions can have different texts and/or graphics. You test to see what is working this month or week, and by testing you mitigate against ineffective efforts. Multiple versions of your email will enhance your chance for success, and serves as a bit of insurance.
WHEN YOU SPLIT TEST BE SURE YOU CAN TRACK RESULTS SEPERATELY. You must be able to tell how much money each email raised separately.
2. BUILD YOUR INTERNAL FILES – Understandably, your donor file will always give you the most return on any given e-mail. Next would be your internal prospecting file and finally any external prospecting file. As a point of clarification, the internal prospecting file are those people who have shown an interest in your organization but have not donated and, as one would expect, are more apt to give than any external list. In other words, the "priority order" is to solicit those who have given before, those who have shown an interest in you, and lastly strangers.
3. GET A DECENT ESP – To conduct an E-mail Fundraising campaign you must have an Email Service Provider (ESP). Basically, there are three types – Entry Level, Intermediate, and Advanced. There are a variety of things that will differentiate ESPs. One is the size of your list. Another consideration is the "billing" process. Typically, for Intermediate and Advanced ESPs billing is "volume based," while for the Entry Level ESPs it is "file size" based. Functionality is another determining factor: The more advanced the greater the number of functions – especially in the realms of integration and reports. As can be expected, the more advanced your ESP the more expensive it will be.
An example of an entry level ESP is iContact, and will usually be used when your mailing list is 10,000 or less. Bronto would be a middle level ESP, and is for the organization whose list is 10,000 – 100,000. An advanced ESP is for lists of 100,000+, and a good example of this would be Exec Target.
4. NO CSS WHEN CODING E-MAIL IN HTML – What is often overlooked is the fact that that if you use CSS it will bestripped by many email clients. For example, G-mail, Hotmail, Yahoo, and MacMail all tend to strip out CSS. If your email is driven by your custom style sheet and it gets deleted by the email client you will have a problem. Your email might show up looking fine, or it might look like garbage. As a result, you would be better off using "old school" HTML 101 table formats.
5. DESIGN AND CODE TO 600 PIXELS WIDE – At that width your e-mail will render okay in a number of environments, such as PC, iPad and mobile phones. If you code to wider you will force people to sideward scroll, which some may consider too much work!
6. PUT MORE EFFORT INTO YOUR LANDING PAGES THAN YOUR E-MAIL 'CAUSE YOU CAN'T' TRANSACT ANY BUSINESS IN AN E-MAIL – Remember, no matter how good your email is you can't take a credit card with it! If your landing page is "broken," the whole process is broken. The e-mail is what "hooks" people, but the landing page is what will "seal the deal." Like a good salesman, your landing page is your "closer."
7. UTILIZE E-MAIL FUNDRAISING STRATEGIES – Any successful endeavor is the result of developing and implementing specific strategies, and e-mail fundraising is no exception. Below is a list of strategies that you should plan on employing:
- E-mails tied to current events
- Monthly "themed" Email Campaigns
- Direct Mail/E-mail Combo
- Media/E-mail Combo
- "Stand Alone" E-mail Fundraising Campaign
8. E-MAIL CAN WORK WITH DIRECT MAIL – Send your Direct Mail offer first. Then, send an email with the sameoffer seven to ten days later. This over-all combination will give you lift, as the email will remind people of the mailer they received.
9. ADD "READ MORE" LINKS INTO YOUR COPY – Writing an e-mail fundraiser piece is a little different than writing a direct mailer piece. In the former you might stop a thought in mid-paragraph and put in a "read more," having your email serve as somewhat of a "teaser."
10. STUDY THIS HEURISTIC TO LEARN A SIGNIFICANT LESSON FROM E-MAIL EXPERT FLINT McGOUGHLIN
eMe = rv(o+i ) – (f+a)
The effectiveness of your Message = relevance of your offer (offer + incentive) less (friction + anxiety)
In essence, this is saying that the advantages of your offer and incentive needs to outweigh the recipient's reluctance to reply positively to your offer, plus the anxiety he might feel in doing so. "Friction" deals with the ease of your check out procedure. Asking for as little information as is necessary, and keeping the checkout process as short as possible can minimize it. Said simply, "Anxiety" is the general reluctance someone might have in doing business on the Internet.
Ask Did my test e-mail:
- Allow me to go through checkout
- Have a subject line with no issues
- Have working links
- Display Properly
- Have contact's name, address and telephone number

Panorama 2's drive units are designed to disperse sound to as wide a listening area as possible. This large audio "sweet spot" means the whole family can immerse themselves in pristine sound. Movies and music on Panorama 2 now sound better than you ever thought that they could. All from a single, discreet loudspeaker system.
Panorama 2 features completely new, specially designed tweeters, midrange and low frequency drive units. This leads to a dramatically improved acoustic performance, with better bass and enhanced integration.
Strength and rigidity is key to avoiding audio distortion you only want to hear sound from the drivers, not a rattle from the cabinet. So Panorama 2 is designed with an unbroken, curving outer shell.
We believe speakers should not only sound fantastic, they should also be easy to install and use. That's why using Panorama 2 is as simple as plugging it in. Panorama 2 features the latest HDMI connectivity (three inputs and one output) to allow the quickest, easiest, and highest-quality to the widest range of televisions, Blu-ray players, set-top boxes and games consoles.
Panorama 2's HDMI connectivity allows: on-screen information display; audio-return, taking sound from TV to amplifier; and Consumer Electronics Control, so you can control it with your TV remote.
Panorama 2 features a proximity-sensitive display. Leave it alone and it fades to black. But wave your hand over the display and you can instantly control Panorama 2's menus directly.
If you need proof that Bowers & Wilkins understands movie sound, just ask the engineers that put sound to movies. The control rooms at London's Abbey Road Studios and California's Skywalker Sound is where Hollywood puts music and sound to blockbuster movies. They are probably the most advanced multi-channel listening environments in the world. Naturally they both use the world's most advanced reference speakers - Bowers & Wilkins 800 Series.
The MT-60D home theatre system partners the M-1 loudspeaker with the ground-breaking PV1D subwoofer, to create an unbeatable partnership.
MT-50 combines the M-1 loudspeaker, with the incredibly compact, yet powerful, ASW608 subwoofer for an unbelievable surround sound experience.
The PV1D will change the way you view subwoofers. Not just because of its inherently stable curved form, but because its digital platform extends performance and flexibility.
State-of-the-art Hi Fi technology and seamless wireless playability in one sleek package.

Espie Santiago, NACE Guest Blogger, is an assistant director of career counseling at the Stanford University Career Development Center
Twitter: @espie_s
LinkedIn: www.linkedin.com/in/espiesantiago
I am happy to report that NACE's Social Media Mashup in San Jose exceeded my expectations. Here's my best attempt to give you a synopsis of the two-day event.
Day 1:
Eager to mash it up with colleagues familiar and new, I arrived to #NACESocial like a geek – fashionably early. I was warmly welcomed by NACE's Marilyn Mackes and Mallory Gott-Ortiz, and key organizer Dawn Carter from NetApp. Not before long, I was surrounded by nearly 100 colleagues, all excited to learn about trends and best practices in social media – present and future.
First on the agenda was David Spector, Global Head of Mobile, TMP Worldwide, who gave the opening keynote address: The Art & Science of Social Media.
David reminded us of how far technology has evolved since the 90s – when there was dial-up internet through "classic devices" and you could not use your phone and the web at the same time. But now we can't live without our mobile devices, and even though many have a choice of going to a laptop or desktop, a majority of us favor using our smartphones over any other device:
• 81% of searches are done via mobile because of either speed or convenience
• 77% of mobile searches are conducted at home or work
• Only 17% of searches are conducted on the go
By 2016, it is predicted that 92% of all college graduates will own smartphones.
The key takeaway for me was that if you aren't designing your product or services for a mobile device/smartphone, then you are behind the curve.
However, despite the inundation of social media, David emphasized that human interaction still prevails. The need for people to connect is at the center of why social media was created in the first place.
After the opening keynote, I had the difficult task of deciding which concurrent session to attend. After much debate, I settled on the following:
Student Panel: Successfully Engaging Students With Social and Digital Media
Tom Devlin from UC Berkeley moderated a panel of recent grads and current students to discuss how they used social media to conduct their job and internship searches. All panelists commented that LinkedIn strongly contributed to their success in landing positions. They also said the trend is moving away from using Facebook, but more activity on LinkedIn and Twitter with YouTube and Instagram as additional popular social media platforms.
The key takeaway from this session was that students are beginning to use LinkedIn more and more to connect with employers. Employers – beef up those company pages!
Day 2:
After a great breakfast and some in-person networking, I, again, was tasked with choosing between some equally enticing presentations. Luckily, I would be conducting a presentation on "Strategies to Help Students Get the Most from their LinkedIn Experience" during the final presentation timeslot, so I had one less decision to make.
First, I attended: The Changing Face of Social Media in Career Services, presented by Manny Contomanolis from RIT and Trudy Steinfeld from NYU.
Manny and Trudy had the most hilarious slide from the entire mashup, describing social media sites, deconstructed from the toilet.
They had some many great takeaways from their presentation, but here my favorites:
• What's Next in Social Media? It's mobile, visual, greater integration (easier to share content across multi-platforms), social at the institutional scale, content affirmed as king, and the importance of brand management
• Key Principles in Social Media Strategy Development
1) Flexibility 2) Content driven 3) Appropriate investments 4) Involve the right people
5) Commitment
• Don't be too quick as to use every social media application that comes out!
• Know your institution and what would suit it best. For example, Pinterest is dominated by female users, so it may not be most the effective use of time if your campus is male-dominated.
• If nothing else, just ask yourself the following to drive your strategy: "Is it concise, accurate, relevant and timely?"
Next, I chose to attend: Is Campus Recruiting Really a Thing of the Past?, presented by Rob Humphrey from LinkedIn.
Basically, the answer is no! Phew, I still have a job! With the creation of things like University pages, lowering the user age to 14, and "CheckIn" which gives employers easy access to candidate data for career fairs and other events, LinkedIn will continue to complement the campus recruiting experience through the use of social technology. Campus recruiting is reinventing itself with the ease of LinkedIn's tools.
Lastly, Ryan Glick from Google gave the closing keynote address: Search & Social.
Ryan talked about lots of great ideas for using Google tools for social recruiting. He discussed the trends and changing landscape of the job industry, mobile as a social tool, and the use of video (YouTube) to grow and engage your audience. And I especially enjoyed learning how Google+ can help build communities.
Again – my key takeaway from his presentation amongst a lot of great content is MOBILE, MOBILE, MOBILE! Job seekers are using their smartphones to look for jobs, not to apply for them per se, but to search for them, making mobile a huge part of the job-seeking experience. (Job seekers and employers looking to build a mobile site should look at Indeed.)
There was so much great information to be gained from #NACESocial that I am so happy that NACE is sharing the presentations with us online. I look forward to continuing to dialogue about trends and best practices in social media with my colleagues in career services and recruiting.

CODE-E will also be getting a manga. the manga will be titled: CODE-EX.
CODE-EX will be serialized in the seinen manga magazine Sunday GX (do you understand now why they called it CODE-EX ), and yeah its getting a seinen manga :P
Sakaki Ichirou & Harao Yumiko will be working on the manga.
Sakaki Ichirou is a light novel writer (this seems to be his first time working on a manga).
Harao Yumiko is the mangaka that worked on Centzon Hitchers & Undertaker manga; which is the manga adaptation of Ergo Proxy anime (it was also serialized in the seinen magazine Sunday GX).

I have never heard of Cano Caoli (interesting way of westernizing her Japanese name btw), but hearing the trailer music which I assume is her work, it reminds me of Read or Die. Heck the lead character is a meganekko, have special powers and looks to be a dojikko too!
Anyhow, this looks to be an interesting show.

The Simoun staff connections certainly get my attention. And that summary sounds as if the psychology is interestingly complex. The director was also the director of Full Moon wo Sagashite, apparently.
This appears to be the first named role for the star, Hashimoto Mai. She has a blog, with pictures. Nazuka Kaori (Yun in Simoun) and Halko Momoi are also in the cast.

the voice acting seemed fine to me. animation was good. other than that weird one eyed bear thing, nothing really to complain about.

2014 Toyota Tundra: Build Anything CampaignPosted in News on September 20, 2013
For many, a truck is more than mere transportation, more than a machine, more than a vehicle haphazardly placed in the driveway. A truck is a hub through which memories are created, through which life decisions are contemplated, through which ideas are born, through which adventures are executed. Yes, for many, a truck is linked to the most precious things of life itself. The back seat holds the keg, then the buddies, then the wedding boxes, then the golden retriever, then the baby seat. A truck's paint fades in step with its owner's increasing wrinkles; both have a history and a story to tell.
A 2014 Toyota Tundra marketing campaign, developed in partnership with Saatchi & Saatchi LA, will target the "Evolved Trucker" whose main priority is enriching the life of his entire family. Three spots – "Car-B-Q," "Baseball," and "Tree House" – feature the versatility of the Tundra as three family guys envision lavish ideas that creatively transform their giant homesteads into enjoyable places for their children, family, and neighborhood, of course with the help of the Tundra's hauling and towing capability. NASCAR driver Kyle Bush over for a BBQ? Of course. A baseball field in the backyard? Absolutely. An immaculate tree house for the kids? Why not! The do-it-yourself Tundra-owning family guy's imagination seems to have no limits in his "Build Anything" mentality.
Be on the lookout for this campaign in the form of broadcast commercials, print ads, digital and social ads, and on-site experiences.

Global regulators are planning to crack down on banks that underestimate their capital requirements because of the way they use credit-default swaps and other instruments to lower the amount of risk on their books.
The Basel Committee on Banking Supervision said today that it would seek to stop banks from lowering capital charges by buying instruments such as CDS to insure themselves against losses, while failing to recognize the large liabilities they incur from what they pay for this protection, the group said in a statement on its website.
"The proposed changes are intended to ensure that the costs, and not just the benefits of purchased credit protection are appropriately recognized in regulatory capital," the Basel, Switzerland-based group of international regulators said in a statement. There exists a "potential for capital arbitrage" as banks can book the benefits of these deals without also booking the associated costs, the group said.
The measure is one of many developed by global regulators to bolster banks' solvency after the financial crisis. For banks, such credit-protection transactions offer a way to redeploy capital more profitably while meeting the stiffer requirements of the latest round of Basel rules.
Critics say the practice doesn't make the lenders any safer and pushes the lending risk into the unregulated shadow-banking industry.
Blackstone, Citigroup
Blackstone Group LP, the world's largest private-equity firm, last year insured Citigroup Inc. against any initial losses on a $1.2 billion pool of shipping loans. The regulatory capital trade, Blackstone's first, let Citigroup cut how much it sets aside to cover defaults by as much as 96 percent, while keeping the loans on its balance sheet, according to two people with knowledge of the transaction.
The Basel committee, which brings together regulators from 27 nations including the U.S., U.K. and China, said it would seek views until June. 21 on amendments to its capital rules that would force banks to recognize the cost of the protection they receive.
The move is in response to "continued activity in high cost credit protection transfers," the committee said.
"Regulatory capital arbitrage may exist where the immediate capital relief" provided by credit protection "will be offset by the premiums paid" over the life of the contract, the group said.
The Basel group brings together global regulators to co- ordinate rulemaking. Its latest overhaul of banking standards, known as Basel III, was published in 2010 in response to the financial crisis that followed the collapse of Lehman Brothers Holdings Inc.
Under Basel rules, banks are required to set aside a set amount of capital based on the likelihood a borrower will default. Basel III more than triples the core reserves that lenders must hold against possible losses.

Everything is coming up roses for stuffy-but-suave college professor Norman Taylor (Peter Wyngarde): his students love him, his peers admire him, and despite his brief tenure at the university where he lectures, he seems a shoo-in for the Chair of the Sociology department--much to the consternation of rival professor Flora Carr (Margaret Johnston). Little does the skeptical scholar realize that his wife Tansy (Janet Blair) has been helping his career along by means of Jamaican voodoo and Olde Englishe Witchcrafte. When he discovers his wife's talismans (talismen?) strewn about the house, however, he decides to put a stop to all this superstitious rubbish by tossing the lot into the fireplace--after which his luck goes into what can charitably be termed a death spiral. One student threatens him with a gun for better grades, another claims the dapper dean violated her in the lecture hall, lorries barrel toward him out of nowhere, and his former friends shun him. Has he angered the Ancient Gods with his disbelief, or is there something more scientifically explainable (but no less sinister) at work?
Burn, Witch, Burn takes a little while to get going, but the payoff is definitely worth it. Director Sidney Hayers builds the suspense slowly, painting Taylor as an intelligent, over-confident man in love who clearly feels he deserves all the good that has come his way, then yanking that believe out from under him and letting the pieces fall. (It always helps when you're working from a script by speculative fiction superstars Charles Beaumont and Richard Matheson, themselves working from a novel by Fritz Leiber Jr.) Blair is excellent as Taylor's slavishly devoted wife, willing to do anything--even make deals with the devil--in order to advance her husband's career. (Think of a darker, more passionate version of Samantha Stevens from TV's Bewitched.) Wyngarde has a face like a Rolls Royce grille and looks simultaneously stuffy and sexy in his waist-high chinos and chest-baring silk shirts, and it's fun to watch his proper facade crumble. Johnston makes a wonderful adversary--petty, but intelligent and ruthless enough to do real damage--and the rest of the British cast is great too.
The movie plays out a bit like an extended Twilight Zone episode (no coincidence, perhaps, given its script's pedigree), but when it hits the barn-burning climax, it ventures out into another dimension of the MAD. No spoilers, but I definitely wasn't expecting the Final Boss.
Well acted, with a good script and efficient direction, Burn, Witch, Burn may be a little old fashioned, but I was entertained nonetheless. 2 thumbs.

Who would have thought that it would be so hard finding a decent cleanser?
Although a lot of cleansers will do, I haven't found many spectacular ones.
I was obsessed with Cleansing Oils for a while, but nearly all of them made me feel quite dry – others gave me little bumps under the skin. My favourite of the cleansing oils is RMK's but it still wasn't ideal.
I also quite recently dabbled with Dr Nick Lowe's Anti Blemish Range, which is quite good but neither the liquid cleanser (which is more like a toner) nor the foaming cleanser (which is very light) were deep cleansing enough for me.
I mentioned before that I like Skinfood and funny smells – what could be better than Skinfood's Celery Soft Foaming Cleanser!
It looks like mayonnaise in a sauce bottle! I ike it.
Does it smell like celery? Well not exactly, but it does very much smell non-floral. It smells like the leaves of a celery plant, or freshly mown grass. It's a very nice smell, not at all weird, and I actually look forward to using it!
The squeezy tube – use lightly as a lot of product comes out:
The cleanser itself is………excellent. Really really good.
Note, I have about 5 cleansers at any one time on my bathroom shelf. This left my skin feeling baby soft and smooth, with no irritation whatsoever. I normally have dryness even with gentle cream cleansers but none at all with this, so I am impressed.
I noticed when I bought it there was also a coffee version and chocolate foaming cleanser but I'm glad a choose celery (even though I hate celery in real life unless its in Chilli. Yes, I have celery in my chilli).
RECOMMENDED! You can find these on eBay for about £13.

Words by Mr Tom M Ford
Summer camp
Formed in October 2009 and signed to Moshi Moshi Records (home to electronic indie legends Hot Chip), it didn't take long for this London-based duo to establish a likeable, sepia-tinged sound. The romantically involved pair are currently busy touring their evocative debut album Welcome to Condale, released in October last year and produced by Pulp bassist Mr Steve Mackey.
Kate Bush
"In a career full of great moments, this is a real highlight. It's all about a real-life person, Peter Reich, the son of Wilhelm, a once-respected, later-reviled psychologist who went from being a crony of Freud's to believing he could control the weather."
"Atoms For Peace (Four Tet remix)"
Thom Yorke
"I think Kieran Hebden is one of the most underrated figures in British electronica. I do wish he'd do more stuff with vocals, so this is perfect. The original production is great too but I just love the way Four Tet's records sound."
"Car Chase Terror"
"M83's 2005 album, Before the Dawn Heals Us, really gets me going. This track is super memorable - cars swish past and synths thrum in the distance as a young woman, clearly terrified, tells her child about a horrifying dream. 'He was right here; I felt his breath in my ear!' It's chilling and visceral."
"Elephant Talk"
King Crimson
"Nineteen eighties guitar wunderkind Adrian Belew left a session stint with Talking Heads to join these prog rock dinosaurs, overseeing their transformation into a sleek 1980s machine. Belew's guitar trumpets such as in this track, and his lyrics - which clearly show the influence of David Byrne - are hilarious."
"Touch The Hem Of His Garment"
Sam Cooke
"I love Sam Cooke's voice, and he never sounds more convincing than when he's singing gospel. I'm not a religious man but this makes me want to be; he makes the words come alive, which I think is the hallmark of a great singer. You're right there."
Summer Camp are touring the UK in March. Check out dates here

* By Lounge Lizard
We are now facing a world-wide depression, not just a recession. Governments are in a panic. Never in history has so much money been thrown at a problem. In the US, Obama's proposed stimulus package now totals $US 820 billion, laden with pork for special interest groups and money for causes deemed worthy by the incoming administration. In the UK, Gordon Brown's government is throwing another £200bn to the banks. In Australia, Rudd is now throwing $4bn to the commercial property sector.
All this is in addition to the $US 700bn bank bail-out plan that was signed into law by President Bush on October 3 last year and Gordon Brown's £400bn bank rescue plan unveiled a few days later. When will it end?

Deceived by the forces of evil into prematurely bringing about the end of the world, War - the first Horseman of the Apocalypse - stands accused of breaking the sacred law by inciting a war between Heaven and Hell. Dishonored and stripped of his powers, War must return to Earth to search for the truth and punish those responsible. Hunted by a vengeful group of Angels, War must take on the forces of Hell, forge uneasy alliances with the very demons he hunts, and journey across the ravaged remains of the Earth on his quest for vindication. But the answers he seeks will reveal
a deep conspiracy in which War is just a pawn in the eternal battle between Heaven and Hell.

The day after I finished Sebastian Faulks's astonishing new novel I sat down to a few episodes of Mad Men. In one of his many moments of boozy insight, Don Draper offers this pearl of advertising wisdom to his protégé Peggy Olson:
'You are the product. You feeling something. That's what sells.'
This quote momentarily shattered my nostalgia-fuelled swoonfest as I realised that this is exactly how I feel about Faulks's writing. It is so popular because it stokes our emotions to such an extent that we become embroiled in the drama of his characters; we become hyper-receptive to the message that he sends; and we want more of it. And I want more of A Possible Life. So much more. I cannot recall ever being so emotionally invested in a novel and that is such an exhilarating experience.
A Possible Life has a unique structure, which serves its purpose very well. The book could possibly be thought of as 5 short stories on a similar theme, however it is probably more apt to consider the theme as the main character, and the 5 stories as examples of this particular theme in action. (Faulks himself refers to the structure as 'symphony'- distinct movements that contribute to the whole). The novel starts out with Geoffrey, a young English schoolteacher who becomes trapped in some of the most harrowing experiences of the Second World War. We then meet a nineteenth-century British lad with a Dickensian childhood; an Italian neuroscientist from several decades in the future; a maid in Napoleonic France and, finally, a Joni Mitchell-esque music star in the early 1970s.
Although these scenarios may appear to have little in common, they are all ruminations on the directions that our lives take and the experiences that make us who we are. Some form of hardship, loss or tragedy affects each character to a significant degree. However it is their resolve to move on and create new possibilities for themselves – the 'possible life' of the title – that gives the novel its thematic punch. Faulks is perhaps at his most brilliant when he writes the more life-affirming segments; they never seem glib or cheesy, but rather recognise the complex layering of experience that forms the basis of the characters' identities and lives.
And this is why A Possible Life struck such a chord with me. Ultimately we all live with regret, with loss and with heartache, but it is our ability to be affected by these experiences and to move on from them simultaneously which shapes our lives. Sebastian Faulks has an astonishing ability to capture these feelings and mirror them back so that even though you are, on the surface, reading about the fortunes of a 1970s folk star, as you delve a little deeper more your own feelings and memories become intertwined with the characters on the page. It is this personal connection that brings me back to Draper's quote; the product is not the book itself, but rather your experience of it.

#1 straightjacket realises that you CAN get medical care WITHOUT insurance.06-08-2008, 09:57 AMThe Straight Story Donating Member (1000+ posts) Journal Click to send private message to this author Click to view this author's profile Click to add this author to your buddy list Click to add this author to your Ignore list Thu Jun-05-08 09:53 PM

Well, the squad took the wife to the ER at the heart hospital today, and we have no insurance
Advertisements [?]
Edited on Thu Jun-05-08 09:54 PM by The Straight Story
She had been having heart issues for a few days and thought it might just be her Parkinson's causing it. I talked to our dispatch supervisor and she told me she would send out a team of paramedics to evaluate her on a non-emergency run and advise her.
The ambulance got here and advised her to seek medical attention - but she was worried about having no insurance. KMC (the county hospital) sees patients without insurance and is always insanely busy. But the paramedics knew a lot more than we did - turns out all the hospitals here do, private or not, and they sign you up for medical right there without all the extra paperwork you normally need.
So we went to the heart hospital and we were treated just as well as people with insurance. They ran as many tests as needed (blood work, xrays, ultra sound) and would have admitted her if need be.
Turns out her heart was/is enlarged due to fluid being around it, high white blood cell count, and her pancreas is having problems. They gave her some powerful anti-biotics, a shot of something for inflammation and nitro.
Poor girl just can't win, we had to laugh about it really. Arachnoid cyst on the brain, Parkinson's, Asthma, Pneumonia off and on, now all this shit and she is only 37.
Point to me today is - it was nice to see medical people doing their job for her and not treating her like a leper for not having insurance. They didn't blink or balk at it, and they are working what channels they have to get paid.
All possible because some people in power put lives ahead of dollars. And soon we will have more of them in power.
It was scary for a while there today, but the one thing that I wasn't sweating right then was about money. I would rather have a hospital bill to pay than a funeral bill.
They won't acknowledge that fact and in a couple of days Straightjacket himself will be repeating the leftist talking points on universal healthcare.
But 41 million people have no access to healthcare. I know because Obama tells me so.

33. I'm confused
I thought this all happened last year.
You have my best wishes and thoughts.
A closer look at that report reveals that 45% of the "uninsured" are only temporarily so - they quit one job and the benefits of the new job have not yet begun. Subtracting these people and the number of uninsured is roughly 21 million. The Census data also include roughly 10 million people who are not a citizen. Subtracting the 10 million non-Americans, the number of uninsured Americans falls to roughly 11 million. A huge number of the remaining actually qualify for govt. health benefits, but simply have not applied. Others are earning good incomes but choose not to purchase insurance.

Place four pebbles on the sand in the form of a square. Keep adding as few pebbles as necessary to double the area. How many extra pebbles are added each time?
Make a set of numbers that use all the digits from 1 to 9, once and
once only. Add them up. The result is divisible by 9. Add each of
the digits in the new number. What is their sum? Now try some other
possibilities for yourself!
In turn 4 people throw away three nuts from a pile and hide a
quarter of the remainder finally leaving a multiple of 4 nuts. How
many nuts were at the start?

- Electronically limited top speed of 217mph
- Electric motor offers a range of 6.8 miles
- First customer takes delivery of the McLaren P1
McLaren Automotive has confirmed performance numbers for the McLaren P1, just as the first lucky customer takes delivery of the hypercar from the company's headquarters in England. Only 375 models will be custom-built, featuring carbon fiber panels, custom paint, and more.
McLaren has maintained that its goal for the P1 is for it to be 'the best driver's car in the world on road and track.' To further empathize this the P1has been subjected to extreme testing in locations that included a frozen lake.
Today, McLaren revealed that the P1's 3.8L twin turbo V8 petrol engine generates 903hp, accelerates from 0-62mph in 2.8sec, reaches 124mph in 6.8sec, 186mph in 16.5sec – a full 5.5sec quicker than the McLaren F1- and has a top speed that is electronically limited to 217mph. Woah.
The McLaren P1 receives 34mpg on the EU combined cycle, and the electric motor offers a range of 6.8 miles in full electric mode.
Additionally, the P1 features a bespoke Akebono braking system comprised of specially formulated carbon ceramic discs that allow it to stop from 62mph in a distance of 99 feet.
McLaren, a company that comes from the top ranks of F1 did not disappoint with the P1. McLaren used all of the knowledge acquired through Formula 1 and applied it here – it's a supercar that combines groundbreaking technology with strikingly beautiful design.

The Bisons were 10-8-3 overall last season, their first overall winning record in the NCAA era. They were 5-3-1 in Atlantic Sun Conference games, finishing third overall. It was the second straight winning record in conference play. The Bisons advanced to the semifinals of the Atlantic Sun Conference Tournament for the second straight season.
"To have this distinction twice in the last three years speaks volumes for what the program has done over the last three or four years," said coach Charles Morrow who is entering his fifth season. "It speaks to the success and the hard work to guys who have been here and come and gone and to the younger guys who have seen the improvement early and bought into it and wanted to be a part of this.
"We had our best year in program history in 2007 and then we started six to seven freshmen last year and did even better," said Morrow. "It speaks to the talent we had come in last year, but also to the improvement and the direction of the program."
In 2007 the Bisons were 6-12-3 overall, 4-3-2 in the A-Sun. In 2006 the Bisons were 5-11-2 with a 1-5-1 A-Sun record. They were 5-11-1 with a 2-6-0 conference mark in 2005.
Morrow stresses that the steady improvement of the team has made it easier to get the incoming players to believe in the philosophy of the program.
"Anytime you can point to things that are visible and readily seen helps sell the program and the direction that we are going," said Morrow. "There is plenty of stuff that supports that, but this is just one more thing."

The INTERPOL Foundation for a Safer World is the rallying point for likeminded organizations and persons to unite with INTERPOL and the global law enforcement community in a joint response to today's challenges.
INTERPOL's vision is "Connecting Police for a Safer World", yet a safer world cannot be achieved by police alone. It is a collective responsibility, requiring a global alliance from governments, businesses and civil society.
Strategic objectives
The Foundation works to ensure:
Vibrant and sustainable societies
free of violence, in equilibrium with the environment, able to recover from conflict or disasters, built by citizens and law enforcement together.
Clean and prosperous businesses
which operate uncorrupted, where investors can nurture emerging economies in confidence, and consumers are empowered to make smart decisions.
Strong and connected law enforcement
guided by visionary leaders to face the emerging challenges of international crime.
Safe and accessible travel
led by an industry that prevents criminals and terrorists from crossing borders without unduly impeding legitimate flows.
Open and secure cyberspace
that connects individuals, families, entrepreneurs and companies, while countering the threats targeting them online.
Tackling critical issues
In striving for a safer world and in working to achieve its strategic objectives, the Foundation needs to tackle the critical issues currently shaping the global security landscape. Four main areas are:
At the centre of INTERPOL's vision of a strong, connected police network is the ability to respond instantly to prevent and counter threats of terrorism worldwide.
Organized crime
Tackling criminal syndicates means understanding their goals, the commodities fuelling each of their illicit networks and, ultimately, the impact they have on growth and security worldwide.
Police capacity
Up-to-date tools and skills are crucial to international policing in a rapidly changing world, where innovation can turn investigation practices obsolete almost overnight.
Fragile states
Conflicts and disasters can condemn a nation to a generation of lost growth and provide a breeding ground for organized crime and terrorism. Specialized experience is needed to rebuild security structures and the rule of law.
Putting words into action
Citizens need protecting from physical and virtual crimes. Businesses and families need economic security in order to thrive. The Foundation develops activities to challenge some of the main threats facing people today.
Creating partnerships
with organizations whose work contributes to the objectives of the Foundation.
Raising awareness
Among governments, the private sector and the general public about modern day security issues and the role of INTERPOL.
Developing research capacity
in the areas of crime prevention and international cooperation in criminal matters, and developing training activities aimed at building capacity in these areas.
Conducting fundraising campaigns
managing the income and identifying the causes and activities to be given priority.
Patronage from sponsors and benefactors will generate new, innovative crime prevention and awareness initiatives on the major threats facing the world today.
The Foundation will mobilize support across all sectors against transnational crimes which threaten communities worldwide, notably in the strategic areas of business, cyberspace, society and travel.
Ultimately, it will support the international law enforcement community in making the world a safer place.
The Foundation has pledged to contribute EUR 50 million to INTERPOL over five years (2016-2020). Of this, EUR 10 million was received in 2016.
Seven projects are to be supported, as follows:
- Securing societies against the terrorist threat
- Reducing vehicle crime
- Protecting vulnerable communities
- Protecting cultural heritage
- Cybercrime: information sharing and real-time analytical platform;
- Targeting the illicit drug trade
- Preventing the trafficking of illicit goods and medical products.
Legal basis
Registered in Geneva, Switzerland, the Foundation supports the programmes and activities of INTERPOL while remaining legally and administratively independent.
With its decision-making Board, Honorary Committee and Auditor, it will create new global safety initiatives and ensure that all donations are channelled transparently.

Research Description
Work in the Novak Group has focused on the synthesis and properties of a unique family of helical macromolecules, the polycarbodiimides. Inspired by the helices of nature, these polymers display unusual properties including antimicrobial activities, liquid crystallinity, and act as chemical sensors, tunable polarizers, and optical switches. Polycarbodiimides are prepared through a metal catalyzed polymerization of carbodiimides. When chiral catalysts are used, helical polymers with a single screw-sense are produced that display unusual chiro-optic properties including reversible optical switching. Examples are shown below: both the anthracene and naphthalene derivatives show unprecedented, reversible changes in optical rotation due to reorientations of the aromatic rings relative to the helix director.

01.01.13: The CCRI Knights men's basketball team continued their play at Palm Beach State College in Lake Worth, FL with an even bigger challenge on Sunday as the Knights took on NJCAA DI No. 6 ranked (NJCAA DI poll) in the hosting Panthers of Palm Beach State College who came into the game with a perfect 16-0 record. The Knights battled tough and made it a game until the final whistle but fell ultimately 72-61 in a valiant effort.
Again the Knights came out fired up and caught the host team off guard. Behind the outstanding play of their talented backcourt of All-American Desmond Williams (Torrington, CT) and Bryan Yarce (Cranston, RI) the Knights to an early lead of 14-4. The Panthers quickly fought back to take an 18-17 lead with intense defensive pressure and went on a run of their own to go into the half with a 45-27 lead. The Knights were led in the first half by the hot shooting of Williams who had 17 first half points.
The second half saw the Knights play probably their best half of basketball of the season outscoring the top ranked Palm Beach squad 34-27. The Knights found themselves trailing by 23 with the score 55-32 after sustaining a big ruin by the high powered Panthers. However, the Knights answered with a big run of their own. The Knights played tremendous hard-nosed northeast style basketball to get back in the game and trailed by just seven points 64-57 with 3:00 left in the game. The Knights almost cut the lead to four points but 3-pointer by Co-Captain Steve Bevilacqua (Exeter, R.I.) just rimmed-out. The Knights ultimately lost the valiant fight 72-61.
Tri-Captain Desmond Williams was the game's high scorer with 23 points, two steals and a blocked shot and Tri-Captain Isaac Medeiros (Johnston, R.I.) added seven points and eight rebounds. The Knights also got big contributions with 24 points coming from their bench including six from Tri-Captain Steve Bevilacqua on two 3-pointers and six points and three rebounds from Steve Rush (Cranston, RI).
Head Coach Rick Harris commented after the weekend: "Unbelievable effort by our guys in these two games against two very tough Division I teams. Our guys displayed spectacular mental and physical toughness, and we again made a statement regarding our team identity. Our defensive toughness, outstanding and inspired bench play and potent offensive team play were all on display against very high level teams. Our tough national schedule which features seven top Division I opponents may not give us the prettiest record but prepares us for our goal of being the best team we can be. It is an unorthodox style and way to build a team, but having played in a national championship game, this team needs to be tested to their fullest and do all that they possibly can to give themselves the best chance possible to achieve national success. Our record or ranking is meaningless if we do not reach our potential. And I believe this team has the potential to be a national champion."
The Knights' next game will come at home when they will host the Vikings of Mercer County Community College from Trenton, NJ at 2:00pm at the Vincent A. Cullen Fieldhouse located on the CCRI Knight Campus in Warwick. Following the game the men's basketball program will host "The CCRI High School Challenge" with three very exciting inter-state High Scholl basketball games: 4:30pm East Boston HS (MA) vs. Westerly HS (RI); 6:00pm Ledyard HS (CT) vs. South Kingstown HS (RI); and 7:30pm New London HS (CT) vs. St. Raphael Academy (RI).
The Community College of Rhode Island, New England's largest comprehensive community college, enrolls nearly 18,000 students in credit courses and thousands more in non-credit and job training classes. Its athletic program boasts 12 varsity programs and an academic support program for all student-athletes.

1. Team Hike! A few years ago I wrote about "Team Hike", a group of friends from college who started a hiking/camping group that I met through my buddy Matt about four years ago. The Team Hike crew also did what they called "Team Extreme", which was hiking and camping during the winter, and I decided to do this with them over the Presidents Day weekend.
This had been planned for weeks, and we had no idea what weather to expect aside from it being winter. Snow? Wind? Cold Snap? Whatever was going to happen over the weekend, unless it was a blizzard, the team was going.
The hike itself took place near Tuxedo Park, NY, a bit over an hour's drive from Hoboken. We drove to the parking site, and hiked along the Appalachian trail, which was covered in snow, up to 8 inches deep in some places. The hike itself wasn't too bad, but the snow definitely made it harder. We hiked about two miles, found the site, which had a lean-to, and immediately started a campfire.
We had about thirteen guys on the hike, or "The Baker's Dozen" as "Gramps" (there are a lot of nicknames amongst Team Hike members) coined it. Our plan was to hike Saturday, camp Saturday night, and hike out Sunday morning. The only issue with the whole day wasn't the cold weather, but the wind. The wind itself wasn't the issue, but the campfire was swirling and blowing in all directions, which made it hard to stay warm when the smoke would blow directly in our faces, also sending ash & embers at us. As the night progressed the wind died down, but the temperature plummeted. We had lots of beer and liquor, and like any team hike we had a ton of people showing off their culinary skills and eating well wasn't an issue. I was stuffed before I turned it at 1am.
Some may ask - "How can you be in a tent when it's so cold?!"
Sure, it was cold, but actually I was in my sleeping bag, wearing a wool sweater with a few hand warmers lining the interior of the bag. By the time Matt woke me up at 7:30am, I was still happy to sleep for a few more hours. But, as we learned in the past, it's best to make an early exit and get back to Hoboken to beat any Sunday traffic.
2. Open Letter! In July 2010, I wrote an open letter to City Hall about creating an online ticket system. Imagine my surprise when I read Dawn Zimmer's State of the City speech on NJ.com and she wrote:
"Within the next several months we are implementing an online service request and complaint system. Through our web site residents will be able to submit and track all kinds of service requests, whether it's to report a pothole, graffiti, or a street that needs plowing.
This system will provide a performance measurement for my Administration, so that we can continue to increase accountability and better understand where our resources need to be directed. Residents should not need to figure out whether to email me, their council people or our directors to get a response. You should have one place to go, and you should be able to depend on a timely response.
This new system will be only the latest in our efforts to use technology to be more efficient and make services available online. As you may know, last fall our Recreation Division began accepting online registrations for recreation programs. People love this system, and it's helping us work more efficiently."
I'm not going to hold my breath to get a "Thank You" from City Hall for my suggestion. Still waiting for someone to take my next open letter ideas. From what I was told online registration for dog tags is in the works.
3. Crossfit! I'm entering week three. I can understand why they force everyone to do the fundamentals class first - no matter what your fitness level. I'm learning now that what I thought I was doing right was about 70% correct. My form was way off, and my endurance levels are low. Plus, my flexibility is in pretty bad shape, especially with my shoulders. Each class we are learning something new, and i'm also learning how weak I am. The one good thing about the classes is that they go really fast, and just at the moment you are hating the workout - it is time to leave. On an interesting side note, i'm kind of surprised about how many girls are into Crossfit. I was expecting this to be mostly guys - but in my training class alone we have 5 guys and 4 girls.
Here's the exercises we have learned in the last week:
Front Squats
Wall Ball Shots
Overhead Squats:
Medicine Ball Cleans:
4. Rocco! What? I haven't written about Rocco enough? Look, he's great. One funny thing about him is that when i'm watching TV, he will sit in front of me and just....stare. Here's a picture of him in action. That's it. That's what he does. Sits there and doesn't move and tries his best to catch my eye. If I try to block him from seeing my eyes with my foot, he shifts slightly to the left or right to keep looking at me. As if to be using telepathy to say "YOU....MUST....PET....ME..."
Otherwise, Rocco is a great dog. Completely housebroken. Doesn't bark. Doesn't eat the furniture or my shoes. When he's unhappy, he snorts. His only downside is that he gets sick easily. If I expose him to the dog park too many days in a row, he will somehow find a way to get sick (respiratory infection & throwing up or bad diarrhea that goes on for days). Usually that means a trip to the vet and a $150 doctor's bill to fix him. This is the curse of the pure breeds.
Also everywhere I go, I still get stopped by complete strangers who fawn over him. Did I mention before buying a carabiner? I take Rocco with me anytime I need to run an errand, like going to CVS or Taco Truck or whatever. The only time I latch Rocco outside a store is when I can see him through the glass window or the door. I know there are some dog owners who completely refuse to do this - and that's their choice. At CVS, there are no windows to see Rocco, so what I do is talk to the homeless guys standing outside. I ask them if they can watch my dog, and I will pay them $1. I know most of the guys, and they are all really nice and know me by now. I go in, shop, and come outside and hand the guy $1 for watching Rocco. Everyone wins. Also, if there's no one outside CVS to watch Rocco, I wouldn't go into the store.
Plus, with Rocco I try to go to places that let dogs into their store. Hoboken Vine, for example, has always been dog-friendly, and even have treats behind the counter for dogs. Dames Coffee is also another dog-friendly business. I think I want to make a list of dog-friendly businesses in Hoboken.
Anyhow, that's all for now!

Pete Wentz Sobbing & Crying After Ashlee Simpson Filed For Divorce!
Poor Pete — Ashlee crushed him. Sources say that 'he does NOT want it to be over!'
Pete Wentz was left completely heartbroken when his wife Ashlee Simpson filed for divorce on Feb. 9 in Los Angeles, Calif. "Pete has been crying a lot to her about this," a source close to the couple tells RadarOnline.com. "He is crushed, and does not want it to be over."
On Feb. 10, TMZ reported that Pete, 31, begged Ashlee, 26, not to go through with it, but to no avail. "Ashlee is done," explains the source. "She loves him, but she's ready to move on."
"When he traveled for work, she had a lot of time to think and in the end she just felt happier without him," adds the source. "They married really young and have grown apart, she just wants to focus on her child and her career."
According to the source, Pete had no clue that this was coming. He was even planning a Valentine's day surprise for Ashlee.
Pete was also spotted stopping by Ashlee's parents' house in L.A. on Feb. 10. Could he have been seeking advice from papa Joe Simpson on how to win Ashlee back?
Friends of Ashlee blame the split on Pete's "erratic behavior," while Pete's people are saying that the couple just grew apart.
Pete and Ashlee married in May 2008 and have a 2-year-old son, Bronx, together. Ashlee is asking for joint legal custody and primary physical custody of the tot.

Accessibility and Other Information - Opens a dialog
Due to the nature of the experience, service animals are not permitted on this attraction.
Take flight above Storybook Circus with Goofy and his homemade stunt airplanes for a thrilling, junior roller coaster ride.
Climb aboard a wacky stunt plane and become a part of The Great Goofini's daredevil act.
Step underneath a grand circus marquee and make your way to an open-air barn where Goofy—known as The Great Goofini—has been known to perform his world-famous high-flying show. Once inside the red hanger, board one of Goofy's very own stunt biplanes and hold on tight as you prepare to take to the skies above Fantasyland.
A Staggering Series of Stupendous Stunts
The flying spectacle begins as your plane gracefully ascends to the top of a nearby wooden observation tower. Then, brace yourself as you rapidly swoop down and around the bustling barnyard, following the flight path made famous by The Grand Goofini. Dart around gentle bends, peel past trees and soar through the broken section of a nearby billboard before "landing" safely back inside the barn during the grand, fun-filled finale.
Storybook Circus stars classic characters of Disney animation, like Goofy. Back when the circus arrived in town and pitched a tent in Fantasyland, Goofy spotted an abandoned barn and decided it would be the perfect staging area for an amazing new daredevil flying act.
Today, you're invited to board one of Goofy's homemade stunt planes and take part in his astounding aerial stunt show: The Barnstormer featuring Goofy as The Great Goofini.
More to See and Do
In addition to The Barnstormer, Storybook Circus is home to Casey Jr. Splash 'N' Soak Station, Dumbo the Flying Elephant and the Fantasyland Train Station.

Product Description
Bring more natural light into your home
Roof domes offer a whole host of possibilities when installed on your property. A fantastic source of natural light through your flat roof, the dome only comes in three skin thicknesses that are suitable for different installations.
All of our domes are thermoformed from UV protected, co-extruded polycarbonate sheet and each dome has a minimum 3mm thick glazing. Polycarbonate itself is virtually unbreakable and has an impact strength up to 250 times greater than glass.
By purchasing this dome only, an upstand must be constructed on-site to the exact dimension shown above or the dome can be installed onto an existing upstand.
What is the best skin thickness for you?
- Single skin - Recommended to only be used in uninhabited areas such as a garage, corridor, storage room (U-value: 5.36W/m2K)
- Double skin - Recommended to be used when replacing a dome, ie like for like replacement (U-value: 2.68W/m2K)
- Triple skin - Must be used on new builds to comply with building regulations (Part L Thermal Performance) (U-value: 1.78W/m2K)
- Quadruple skin - Recommended for best thermal performance (U-value: 1.24W/m2K)
How secure are the roof domes?
Unique to our domes are the high-security screwbolts and fixings that come supplied as standard with all dome only products. Once installed, the fixing cannot be removed using common tools. The screwbolt provides a high level of resistance to tampering or forced entry.
The fixing screw or bolt is sleeved within the body of the screwbolt which avoids pressure being exerted on the rooflight glazing as the fixing is tightened. This virtually eliminates the risk of stress fractures caused by over-tightening.
When installed, these domes are expected to exceed the life of the roof covering and will not rust or be affected by atmospheric pollution. They are maintenance free once installed. The domes are guaranteed against the effects of defective design, materials or construction for ten years, subject to certain conditions.
Dimensions shown are builders overall upstand size. Dome only itself is 60mm larger.

1940s Jeans
Added Feb 28, 2012
by eileenramsey
Dayton, Ohio, Un...
I've long wanted a pair of 1940s jeans. So last year I set about doing research to get a feel for how it is they really would have looked. I consulted many online photographs of women from the time in jeans and also my "Fashions from the 40s as Featured in Sears Catelog" books for inspiration. Armed with the overall pattern from Evadress.com (which features a trouser pattern) I set about to make my own.
I managed to sew them about 75 percent of the way through, tried them on and declared them a massive FAIL. Fast forward a year and I dig them out of my junk pile, try them on and wonder what the heck I was thinking? The fit was great and all that remained was the side seams, zipper, waistband and button closure!
Modifications to the original pattern include self drafted curved pocket, tapering the legs and moving the zipper/button closure to the left side pocket (as they would have done originally). I'm quite happy with the result!
Material Notes
Non stretch (this is very important for an authentic look) denim.

Johnny Peers and 16 of his furry friends have traveled across the country, performing and wagging their tails for thousands and thousands of people. This weekend, they'll return to Smyrna for a matinee performance at the Smyrna Opera House.
There's old acting advice that says to never take the stage with children or animals. Apparently, no one ever told Johnny Peers. Since the late 1970's—following his graduation from Ringling Clown College—he has been traveling from coast to coast (an occasionally across continents—four, if anybody is counting) performing with nearly two dozen canine companions with a routine aptly named, "Muttville Comix."
This Saturday afternoon, the show (but not the barking) will stop once again in Smyrna at the Smyrna Opera House.
What can audiences expect? First, they can expect more than two dozen clever pups. These dogs will climb ladders, jump through hoops, walk tightropes and occasionally knock ol' Johnny down. It's all in good fun, though. Peers is typically the straight man, like Costello's Abbott or Mister Ed's Wilber. And, as if wagging tails and furry faces aren't heartwarming enough, there's the underlying message of the show: There's value and happiness in every being. Each dog is a rescue, found and adopted by Peers himself who, then, coaxed and patiently trained them all.
Peers was introduced to his life's passion thanks to his dad's job running a concession stand for the Ringling Circus. Like a lot of sons, Peers found himself working with his father. But, he was always studying the clowns. It didn't take long before Peers knew he wanted his own "honking nose." He joined Ringling Clown College, graduating in 1970. A few years later, he created his own Charlie Chaplin-esque character and rescued his first pup, a beagle mix named Freckles, from the Humane Society. That was 1972. Fast-forward 41 years later and Peers now has 16 rescued dogs in his act.
There have been many more rescues, though. The others are either retired or in training. Most of the performers have come from shelters or pounds; Although, occasionally, fans give him dogs as well. It can take anywhere from six months to a year before a dog is show-ready if, in fact, a dog shows interest in performing. Peers doesn't force the "family business on them," acknowledging that each dog has its own character and attributes.
This weekend's show will begin at 2 p.m., Saturday afternoon in the second floor auditorium, with the doors opening 45 minutes prior to the start of the performance. Tickets are $10 each. Family four-packs will also be available for $35. All seats are general admission.
For more information, see the fact box on this page.

Despite efforts by law enforcement and public health officials to curb prescription drug abuse, drug-related deaths in the United States have continued to rise, the latest data show.
Figures from the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention reveal that drug fatalities increased 3% in 2010, the most recent year for which complete data are available. Preliminary data for 2011 indicate the trend has continued.
The figures reflect all drug deaths, but the increase was propelled largely by prescription painkillers such as OxyContin and Vicodin, according to just-released analyses by CDC researchers.
The numbers were a disappointment for public health officials, who had expressed hope that educational and enforcement programs would stem the rise in fatal overdoses.

Asus K8N-E Deluxe Socket 754 Motherboard
Introduction & Specs
There seems to be more AMD options on the market than ever before and all in different stages of product life. Many of the motherboards we have reviewed recently here on PCPerspective have been the cutting-edge of consumer PC technology. But as great as these boards are, they are not that appealing to all consumers, especially to those who are looking to upgrade cheaply. These newer boards often require additional investments into more expensive CPUs, different RAM, or even a new PCI-Express video card.
The Asus K8N-E Deluxe we are reviewing today is an Athlon 64 / 754-pin socket motherboard that supports standard DDR 1 and AGP specs — so all your old hardware will work, and all you need is a 754-pin Athlon 64 CPU.
Taking a quick glance at the packaging and specs, I can tell that the K8N-E Deluxe is going to be another great package from Asus. But with so many AMD options now available on the market, how does this particular board fit in with your plans? Let's take a look and find out.

can someone help me?
when i on the pc i cant see anything on the monitor, i just hear 3 beeps like beep bep bep. i dabble check everything like ram hard drive and the graphety card they are all good.
Search for the motherboard that you use,
Go to the info page about the pcb(pc motherboard) like the datasheet or manual.
Then search for the beep (bios) codes and then you can understand what the pc is trying to tell you.
If you don't know what it is you can also search for it
Mostly it is the RAM.
I'l now tell you a rare fact.
Just pull the processor all the ram and plug and sticks out your pcb, and then plug it back in, one by one...
That fixes cases like this mostly of the time.
Couse, maybe you have a loose cable or have one plugged in wrong. So check where the certain wire and stuff suposed to be plugged in.
If this did not help you,
A really good reason is a RAM error. as i said first of all.
- Is the RAM in the certain socket (most pcb's does not need to plug the RAM into a certain socket
- Try Another pair of RAM sticks... (The RAM sticks could be broken becouse of, Oldness, quality or damage)
- Is it the RAM that you need, you have different sorts of RAM, like speeds (DDR1,2,3, etc..) Or frequenty (1600, 1500 etc...)
so check the datasheet or manual included with the motherboard or online...
I hope this helped you!
P.S. And yes, my name is not 3ds12. Thats my gaming name
My dad gave me a Nintende 3ds when i was 12! so that is why 3ds12!! :D
I had the exact same thing when i upgraded the 3 dimms of 3x1GB ram. You need to unplug the graphic card and then put it back; that's what fix it for me.

Chris Smith is in his 30th season as Grove City College's head football coach.
A 1972 Grove City College graduate, Smith is the dean of the Presidents' Athletic Conference football coaches.
He is also the all-time wins leader in the 119-year history of Grove City football. In 2012, Smith guided the Wolverines to a 6-4 overall mark and a 5-3 record in the rugged Presidents' Athletic Conference.
The 2012 Wolverines led the conference in total defense and senior tailback Shane Kaclik became the third 1,000-yard rusher in program history.
Grove City also led the nation in fewest penalty yards per game last season. The Wolverines ranked third nationally in that category in 2011.
Overall, Grove City has been the least-penalized team in the conference six times in the last eight seasons.
Numerous Grove City players have earned national and regional acclaim during his tenure. In 2005, safety Aaron Margo earned First Team All-America from the American Football Coaches Association (AFCA) and represented the U.S. in the Aztec Bowl.
In 2007, center Matt Gregg became Grove City's third Aztec Bowl participant this decade. In 2010, tackle Pete Polesnak represented the United States in the Bowl of the Stars, the Aztec Bowl's successor, while nose tackle Jarred Frawley participated in the 2011 Bowl of the Stars.
Last season, Kaclik, linebacker Jason Ferguson and guard Josh Bermann all represented the United States in the 2012 Bowl of the Stars.
Under Smith's direction, the Wolverine program ascended into the national picture with consecutive PAC championships in 1997 and 1998. Grove City also recorded runner-up finishes in both 1999 and 2000.
During that time, Smith guided an offensive juggernaut that featured record-setting fullback R.J. Bowers, who became the first college running back to eclipse the 7,000-yard mark for his career.
In 1997, Smith led the Wolverines to their first-ever PAC championship and first nine-win season in program history. Grove City capped the season by hosting the United States Merchant Marine Academy in the ECAC Southwest Bowl.
For his efforts that season, the American Football Coaches Association, the Metropolitan New York Writers Association and the PAC all honored Smith as their Coach of the Year.
In 1995, Smith earned the Tri-State Officials Association's Coach of the Year award.
Overall, Smith has coached seven players who have attained All-American status as well as countless others who have earned ECAC and PAC recognition through the years.
The Wolverines' on-field success has been matched by success in the classroom. Over the past two decades, numerous Grove City players have received recognition both regionally and nationally for their academic performances.
Grove City's four CoSIDA Academic All-District selections in 2005 set a new program record. Grove City again matched that standard in 2006.
In 2008, linebacker Adam Eichler and guard Dave Salera both earned CoSIDA Academic All-America honors following the season. Eichler, Salera and wide receiver Stephen Mercer all earned Academic All-District recognition in 2008.
Defensive back Chris Gibbs became the first Grove City junior to be named a CoSIDA Academic All-American following the 2012 season.
Gibbs, Joe Diani, Sam Ivan and Anthony Ritchie all earned CoSIDA Academic All-District recognition last year, tying the single-season program record with four All-District selections.
A highly-respected member of the coaching community, Smith is actively involved on the American Football Coaches Association Division III Football Council.
He is also a past member of the NCAA Division III Football Committee, which supervises the NCAA Division III playoffs.
Smith ascended to the head coaching position at Grove City in 1984 after spending five years as an assistant at the College. Prior to joining the Grove City football staff in 1979, Smith coached the outside linebackers at Western Kentucky University.
Smith's coaching career began at Perry High School in his hometown of
Massillon, Ohio.
As a player, Smith started at safety for the Wolverines from 1968-71. He led the team in interceptions three times and holds Grove City's career record for interceptions with 22.
Over his 38 years as a player, assistant coach and head coach at Grove City, Smith has been involved in 360 games.
He and his wife, Barbara, live in Grove City. Their daughter Ellie is a 2003 Grove City College graduate.
