This item features a special antibacterial lining that inhibits the growth of odor-causing bacteria, mildew, or mold.

The majority were fresh faced youths eager for adventure, as if anything good ever came from such folly.

Warriors of the Rainbow

Death certificate
Make it look like suicide
Then maybe, maybe.
With stealth and humor
Avery sneaks up behind
Finger for yo ass
I see myself here
trapped in my own futile rage
smoking it away
Shorty saves the day
Quiet style and unbound grace
Captivating souls
Owning haikus yo.
Arrogance works on some hos.
But mostly man hos.

pissed, she called me a jackass
our friendship is strained
Too much time in Hell

Snow drifts by the lane at dawn
Cotton quilts cover

Top England footballer Rio Ferdinand has given the green energy sector a boost by announcing that he is making energy saving changes to his life.
In an interview with the Guardian, the Manchester United player revealed that he has had an energy fitness audit on his home and has taken up some of the suggestions made by the auditors.
He said: "[You can do] little things like moving your sofa from in front of a radiator, changing lightbulbs. You get a better feeling about yourself, and the little things add up."
Rio's green awareness comes from when he was made an advocate for energy supplier E.ON's Energy Fit campaign.
Cheap energy users could compare green energy tariffs if they want to do something for the environment.

Johan is not nuts. At least not anymore nuts than the rest of us. He is ruled by his own psychology, which includes jealousy that he cannot sing that high.
This is simply a revenge mission by the US on Libya. This will teach them a lesson for attacking Doc Emmett Brown in Back to the Future....... Damn Libyans

Valentine's Day Gifts for Every Stage of a Relationship
Stumped about what to get your boyfriend or hubby? Our gift guide has got you covered.
PLUS: For more ideas, check out the 20 gifts that will make him love you more!
By Molly Triffin
Valentines Day is a loaded holiday when it comes to picking out the right gift for your man. What you buy reflects how you see him and the relationship, so you want to get something thoughtful, creative, and appropriate for the amount of time youve been together. We know guys are notoriously tough to shop for, so our guide is full of great outside-the-box ideas for every stage of coupledom.
Less Than 3 Months
If youve just started dating, keep your gift casual. At this point, anything expensive or too personal will send a scary I-like-you-a-little-too-much message. Plan to spend around $20-$25 on something simple but sweet, like a DVD of a movie he really liked such as Inception or a book by one of his favorite authors (a Michael Crichton novel is always a safe bet). For a different route, bake him a batch of chocolate chip cookies (step away from the heart-shaped cookie cutter) theyre a guaranteed guy-pleaser and hell love that you made them yourself.
3-6 Months
This is a tricky in-between phase: Youre an official couple, but are still getting to know each other. Impress him by finding something creative thats totally him. For example, if hes always taking pictures, get him a gorillapod. Of if hes into craft beer, pick up a Brooklyn Brew Shop Kit. Youll probably shell out slightly more (around $25-$50), but dont go overboard with a fancy present. The point is to show that you put real thought into it.
7-11 Months
Okay, things are starting to get serious (even if hes yet to admit it). A fun gift for this stage in the relationship is an experience you can have together, so youll build more shared memories. Try tickets to a concert (Kid Rock, Linkin Park, and Bon Jovi are touring in February) or an NBA or NHL game. You can also plan a surprise date. Make it an all-day thing: Tell him youll pick him up on Saturday afternoon and that he should bundle up. Then go ice-skating, get spiked hot chocolates after, and finish up with dinner at a cozy restaurant.
1-2 Years
Youve crossed over into the long-term commitment zone, so this is a great time to commemorate your relationship or show off how well you know him. Frame a cute picture of the two of you (have it printed out nicely, in black and white), or find something that will remind him of a fun time you had together. For instance, if you took a trip to Cape Cod, get him an antique map of the town you stayed in. Looking for a more straightforward gift? You can spend a bit more now that youre pretty serious ($100-$200, depending on your budget) on a big-ticket item. Here's a really cool idea: ballpark cuff links made from the stadium seats from his favorite team.
More Than 3 Years
After years of birthdays and holidays together, it gets tougher and tougher to come up with surprising gifts. A lot of women just grab stuff he needs, like socks or new button-downs, which is nice and all...but boring. Instead, get him a present where hell learn something new. If hes adventurous, book him an exciting experience, like a flying lesson or hang gliding. (Excitations.com offers a ton of amazing gift ideas.) If hes a whiz in the kitchen, sign him up for classes at a local cooking school where hell find out how to sear the perfect steak or tell the difference between a rioja and a tempranillo. Or, book a weekend getaway at a romantic hotel in a nearby town where you can spend lots and lots of time in bed.

The quiet 500-meter strip has in recent years been renovated by authorities to resemble its former Republican glory.
While culture-lovers swarm here to trace Nanjing's olden-day charms, university graduates are often seen taking graduation photos in retro Republican-style outfits. Instead of run-of-the-mill black robes, male students don Chinese tunic suits, known as Sun Yat-sen suits, while females wear ocean-blue, wrap-up tops and black cotton skirts.
Enthusiasm for this era has also provided the most unlikely of job opportunities in China.
Xu Jinshui, 46, is a professional impersonator of Chiang -- a controversial figure for many mainlanders. During the day he stands like a wax figure outside the Presidential Palace. Fully Chiang-costumed, Xu charges tourists for taking photos with him.
By night, the quiet Zhejiang native ushers in guests at Ming Du Hui, a Minguo-themed restaurant, still dressed as Chiang.
"If we want to introduce the Minguo Cuisine to the public, we need to throw in a related experience," explains general manager Lv Xinhe. "Chiang Kai-shek is a famous character and people know about him."
The 150-seat restaurant, whose per-head bill averages RMB 300 (US$48), serves food that was popular with nationalist officials. The menu includes yellow croaker soup, which was said to be Chiang's favorite, and May-ling Soong's Steak, a meat dish designed by Chiang's wife.
The local communist government seems to encourage the cultural comeback.
According to Shen Jiahua, the president of Nanjing Dining Chamber of Commerce, the authorities have endeavored to popularize Republican food since 2011. A dozen restaurants in the city have been certified to carry the "Minguo Big Cuisine."
"[What we do is] to pass on the dining culture of Nanjing and create a unique culinary signature of the city," says Shen.

Highbrow fashion fan A$AP Rocky is modeling some pricey items for men's online shopping site Mr. Porter. Along with donning a $2,995 metallic silk rain coat from Burberry Prorsum, Rocky sat down for a chat about his favorite designers, dealing with speculation about his sexual orientation and losing his father late last year.
"My Dad passed at Christmas," Rocky tells Mr. Porter. "I'm just getting over it. I stayed in the house but I couldn't cry because I was so hurt." Explaining the cause of his dad's death, Rocky says, "He caught pneumonia on a Friday and died on the Sunday, so it was unexpected, but at least he got to see me do this."
By "this," Rocky means landing the record deal that would lead to the release of his LONG.LIVE.A$AP album debut in January, just weeks after his father's passing. He's also likely referring to his ever-growing presence in music and fashion magazines.
He credits his brother, who was killed about 10 years ago, with encouraging him to rap from the age of 8. As for his interest in fashion, Rocky says as a kid he was into brands like Nautica, Ralph Lauren and Tommy Hilfiger. "But in 2005 I started wearing John Richmond jeans," Rocky says. "I was into Prada and Dolce & Gabbana at the time and that's why I started to wear tight jeans, because I wanted to be a model. I started to do freelance work for Calvin Klein so I was slim and it just stuck."
Asked whether his interest in the fashion world has led some to question his masculinity, Rocky says, "People say I'm gay sometimes, but I have a lot of bitches so why would I care? It doesn't bother me at all."
Rocky has a theory on why people say he's gay. "You know why they say that? Because they can't say that I suck, they can't say that I'm not handsome, and they can't say that my lyrics are wack, so they say that I'm gay because they don't have anything on me," he says.

KM in healthcare innovation
Developing a uniform standard and support structure for innovative, hospital-based, integrated care projects, based on principles of knowledge management is it possible? Hedwig M.J. Slot, Paul Louis Iske and Dr Niek Klazinga report.
The stimulation of healthcare innovation has resulted from the reality that every organisation uses its own system of developing and performing initiatives. A lack of knowledge sharing caused an enormous overlap of subjects and types of initiative, therefore many innovations disappeared after the projects were finished, independent of their results.
In 1994, the so-called Biesheuvel Committee for the Modernisation of Curative Care published a report that contained proposals for solutions to problem areas in the Dutch healthcare system. One of these issues was the major gap between primary and hospital care, as a result of separate organisational and financial systems. The committee recommended the stimulation of transmural [an interface between primary and secondary] care as a possibility to bridge this gap.
In 1998, the Dutch Association of Medical Specialists received a government grant to build the transmural healthcare innovation programme, and a regional support structure was created.
One of the goals was to stimulate medical specialists to develop and implement their own transmural healthcare innovation projects. Shortly after the start of this programme, the participants realised themselves just how many initiatives were already being undertaken to improve healthcare and, at the same time, they became aware of the enormous overlap between the projects. There was no database of existing programmes, so everyone reinvented their own wheel. It was difficult to compare projects because every organisation dealing with healthcare innovation designed the project in its own way.
In 2001, therefore, the Dutch Association of Medical Specialists decided to develop a standard for healthcare innovation projects. This would help to attain a structural, uniform approach for the development of such programmes, and to facilitate the dissemination and implementation of the results. The standard was called Good Healthcare Innovation Practice (GHIP). This article will cover the development of the standard and the formation of a central support structure. Both processes will be evaluated, in order to ascertain whether or not successful development is possible in both cases.
Methods and theories used
Innovation is a process of value creation through the application of insights and techniques where it didnt happen before. One of the important aspects of innovation is the innovation funnel (see Figure 1) which shows the different steps of the innovation process. Turrell et al described this as a framework for organisations to achieve corporate objectives through the systematic and sustainable application of innovative processes and methods, in all areas of organisational activity.1 According to a Product Development & Management Association (PDMA) best-practices study, 68 per cent of leading US product developers now use some type of gating process to evaluate and progress innovations from conception of the idea, through to full launch of a new product.
Innovation is a knowledge-intensive process. Knowledge emerges in the interaction between information, insights and imagination, and facilitates decisions that result in value creation.2 The innovation process allows for improvement through collaboration and learning, and retains the creativity and problem-solving capabilities that are essential for innovation.
Knowledge management
There are many definitions for knowledge management (KM). In fact, it is better to talk about knowledge-conscious management. It is not the purpose to manage the knowledge (if that is possible at all), but to manage an organisation and/or processes in such a way that knowledge can add maximum value. Basically, knowledge-conscious management is connecting people-to-people and people-to-content.
KM is essential to make the knowledge achieved through innovation a structural part of the healthcare process. Based on the knowledge-value chain, it consists of the following activities:
Determination of the knowledge needed;
Inventory of the knowledge-in-use;
Development of the knowledge;
Sharing of the knowledge;
Adjusting the knowledge; and
Evaluation of the knowledge.3
Interventions are possible at each stage of the knowledge value-chain the organisation, the systems and the culture.
Knowledge application (learning)
It is clear that the different stages of the innovation process both require and produce a lot of knowledge. People learn when they apply the available knowledge for the performance of their changing tasks. Argyris and Schön (1979) developed the learning theories: single loop, double loop and deutero learning. Double-loop learning is especially important when innovation is considered as a core competence, and its ongoing development is an organisational goal.
A learning organisation is skilled at creating, acquiring, interpreting, transferring and retaining knowledge and at purposely modifying its behaviour to reflect new knowledge and insights4. Question and answer systems enable users to interact with each other and can play an important role in the transfer of knowledge between people, and thus support the learning organisation.
Change management
Change management can be divided into seven different stages: making contact, creating awareness, building understanding, testing and achieving acceptance with the objective of institutionalising, and finally, internalising. (See Figure 2).
Careful awareness building, strategic testing, and ensuring acceptance are the key success factors in any change process.
Communities of practice
Communities of practice (CoPs) are groups of people informally bound together by a shared expertise and passion in a joint enterprise. Their value lies in an ability to connect personal development, and the professional identity of people, to the strategy of the organisation. Managers cannot mandate CoPs; rather, successful managers bring the right people together, provide an infrastructure in which communities can thrive, and measure their value in non-traditional ways. CoPs yield short-term and long-term benefits to both the organisation and the individual community members. They dont usually require heavy institutional infrastructures, but their people need the time and space to collaborate.
The key to successful CoPs is an appropriate leadership infrastructure that can guide, support and renew the community initiative over time. The support team and executive sponsorship are important elements of this infrastructure. Support team activities should include education, initiative planning and coordination, coaching for community leaders, managing infrastructure, and liasing with the community. Executive sponsors are required to confirm the organisational legitimacy of the community. The sponsors investments, guidance and legitimacy are crucial for the success of the community initiative.
Strategy for change
GHIP standard process
The process described in this article began with an inventory of the most well-known organisations dealing with healthcare innovation all of which were confronted with the same problems: lack of knowledge about existing or completed projects and their results. The different ways in which the organisations described and performed their projects also made it very difficult for others to judge or compare them. There was a shared need for a general method to design, implement and document healthcare innovation projects, with transparent results.5
Eventually 25 organisations pledged to be involved in the initiative. Participants communicated the desire to share their knowledge because they realised that if the process of the development of the GHIP was successful, it would be of great advantage to everyone working in the profession. In October 2001, the first meeting was arranged during which the following conditions were formulated:
All relevant organisations should be involved. Everyone whos interested in taking part is welcome, and nobody will be excluded;
GHIP must become a tool to facilitate the bottom-up approach of healthcare innovation;
Everyone must be able to access it (open-source or public domain);
The GHIP must be geared to the needs of people dealing with healthcare innovation in practice and healthcare workers, as well as patients;
Pragmatic approach using existing tools as much as possible, should enable the participants to complete the GHIP standard within one year.
The Dutch Association of Medical Specialists offered its support by performing the administration and coordination of the process. This was facilitated by someone with specific experience in supporting communities and KM. Meetings were scheduled every two months and, in order to simplify the mutual communication, a virtual team room was created.
The first sessions were used to gain consensus on definitions, goals and approaches. Based on the principles of good clinical practice, the EU guideline for clinical investigation of pharmaceutical products, and the innovation funnel as a principle of innovation, five different steps were defined as a part of the healthcare innovation process:
Originate the design phase, in which the problem and the possible solution are described;
Select the test phase, in which the formulation of the problem and the proposed solution are judged by funders or other referees;
Realise the realisation and internal evaluation of the healthcare innovation project;
Evaluate the external evaluation of the project;
Disseminate the implementation of the results of the project in the approproate environment, and the dissemination of the results to other locations.
At the same time, five different stakeholders were identified the patient, the professional, the management, the sponsor and the supplier.
Six working groups were then formed to coordinate each part of the project; five groups to develop the five defined steps to be included in the GHIP standard, with the sixth describing the vision, definition and scope of the GHIP. One member of each group was assigned the role of team leader and any results were opened up for general discussion at bi-monthly meetings. In the meantime, the progress of each working group could be followed on the virtual room.
A tight timetable was scheduled in order to keep up the pace. Between the first meeting in October 2001, and the first deadline in April 2002, three plenary meetings were scheduled and, additionally, two meetings between the team leaders. In June 2002, the rough version was completed. After several rounds of editorial comments, version 1.0 of the GHIP guideline was formally launched on December 1, 2002.
Central support structure process
After the completion of version 1.0 the Knowledge and Coordination Centre (GHIP KCC) was founded. This plays a central role in the operational organisation and maintenance of the guideline and KM. It also functions as a helpdesk for people interested in the GHIP approach and plays a role in the communication of the GHIP principles via publications and the GHIP website.
The website also contains an expert community, a Q&A system based on the internet tool, an expert panel (where experiences and personal know-how can be shared with the healthcare community, in particular those involved in innovation projects), and a public panel. Here, questions connected to innovation projects can be posed to a couple of thousand healthcare consumers. The combination of the two panels enables the experience of the experts in innovation to broadened, refined, and compared with the opinion of a broad public base.
GHIP standard
Healthcare innovation is defined within the GHIP as the entity of chosen activities aimed at the realisation of a change in healthcare in order to meet more efficiently and effectively. The two principles of the GHIP are good documentation practice (a uniform way of documenting and arguing) and KM (to produce and gain knowledge).6 Innovation must be seen as a process with a fixed number of intermediate steps and a variety of stakeholders. The connection between the defined steps and stakeholders is visualised in the GHIP matrix (see Figure 3).
Each step must be considered from the perspective of every stakeholder. This approach ensures that all stakeholder issues and all process steps of a healthcare innovation project are addressed. The result of the documentation according to the GHIP matrix, is the GHIP file. This is a collection of systematically arranged data that makes knowledge about the project findable, exchangeable and interpretable. The GHIP file contains the project plan, analysis, interim results and evaluation of the GHIP process, and the final results and evaluation. Its an outstanding way to encourage other organisations to adopt [parts of] the project. This completes the cycle and makes healthcare innovation a product that can be judged on its merits and one that can be reproduced.
Central support structure: CoP
The GHIP guideline is the intellectual property of the GHIP Core and Development Group (GHIP Kern- en Ontwikkelgroep, GHIP KOG). This community gears the content of the guideline to field requirements and is responsible for its ongoing development. The GHIP KOG consists of the participants in the GHIP development process (representing 29 organisations).
The Dutch Healthcare Insurance Council (the trusted party) was responsible for the financing of the GHIP KCC during the first two years, and The GHIP KCC, GHIP KOG and trusted party, together, are the GHIP network.
Analysis and interpretation
GHIP standard
In 2003, 15 projects were selected by the GHIP KOG, to be performed according to the GHIP format and with the support of the GHIP KCC. The detailed analysis of some of these projects revealed that the GHIP-methodology was very useful in better understanding the results in relation to the approach taken in the projects. By application of the GHIP-matrix, it became very clear that if the perspectives of the various stakeholders were taken into account, the success was positively influenced. Some of the projects lacked real ownership, so were more difficult to analyse because information was lacking and could not be retrieved. In later projects the GHIP approach was applied from the beginning, which resulted in better project plans and planning, and in better decisions during the projects.
In 2004, the GHIP KCC performed a survey via the GHIP website. Of the 116 respondents, 93.1 per cent considered free access to knowledge about healthcare innovation as important. Useful knowledge was, in the opinion of 26.7 per cent of respondents, hard to find, and 83.7 per cent thought that the possibility to share their experiences with others was important. Around 70 per cent of the respondents were more or less familiar with the different components of GHIP.
In 2004, the Dutch Healthcare Insurance Council evaluated the GHIP KCC part of which included a SWOT analysis. Potential opportunities included the development of GHIP into an independent quality mark institute, the possibility for GHIP to join other initiatives and/or to connect the GHIP guideline to central themes of the Ministry of Welfare, the positioning of GHIP as a business case format, and the use of GHIP as a standard for the description of healthcare innovation projects.
The guideline, infrastructure, website and motivated personnel were regarded as strong.
The most important weaknesses were opportunism (healthcare innovation was a topic for the Minister of Welfare), an approach of communication unfamiliar for the professionals in healthcare, a lack of content and a lack of a financial analysis.
Threats were that the guideline hadnt been established for long (no time to prove itself) and future methods of financing.
When the evaluation was performed, the Dutch Healthcare Insurance Council had already decided not to finance the GHIP KCC for another period. At the same time a number of members of the GHIP KOG wrote a letter to the other members and the GHIP KCC in which they expressed their concerns. Although GHIP was recognised as the unique product of a lot of different organisations, they were worried about the distance between the GHIP guideline and the needs of the healthcare field. They also made an important statement about the inability to pay the GHIP KOG members for their efforts, while at the same time the results of their efforts were used by other parties.
A number of GHIP KOG members joined together for two days to update the GHIP guideline to a 2.0 version. Essential in this update, was the possibility to enter the guideline from the perspective of the five different stakeholders. Version 2.0 includes the building blocks of project plans and examples that illustrate how the various elements could be worked out.
Current status
The financial support for the GHIP Knowledge and Coordination Center has been terminated. Since then, an independent entity, GHIP B.V. (www.ghip.nl), is active in the (commercial) exploitation of the GHIP approach supporting healthcare organisations, but also companies in other industry areas, to apply KM and stakeholder analysis in the planning and realisation of innovative activities.
Successfull innovations need a proper climate. When the development of the GHIP standard is analysed according to the seven change steps, it can be concluded that the development of the standard itself was successful, but the institutionalisation step was taken before all the previous ones were completed. Therefore, there wasnt enough awareness and understanding, which was essential for the proper climate both in the involved organisations and in the healthcare practice. The bottom-up approach was successful, as shown by the velocity of the development of the GHIP guideline. The most significant bottlenecks in the development process were the planning of the bi-monthly meetings. Due to the full agendas of the participants and the discussion about the definitions, every time a new participant joined the group this discussion started all over again. The individual professionals involved in the GHIP KOG were enthusiastic and very motivated, but there was a lack of support at the management level and maybe even an atmosphere of suspiscion in some of the participating organisations. Too little, or even no, attention was paid to the creation of the appropriate leadership infrastructure the key to successful CoPs. Although the finances were only guaranteed for a period of two years, the initiators were convinced that the GHIP would be able to prove its value and thereby the continuation of the sponsoring could be arranged in a more structural way. This two-year period appeared to be too short, and they werent able to find a sponsor with the vision to recognise the possibilities, or was willing to enable the GHIP KCC and KOG to create the proper climate by following the change steps they had skipped at first.
It is clear that there was and still is a need for a guideline for healthcare innovation projects, and for the potential to share knowledge and experiences. This also was confirmed by the results of the GHIP survey in 2004.
With a bottom-up approach and enthusiastic professionals it is possible to start a process like this and to develop a GHIP standard in a relatively short period. Essential in this process is the planning of meetings and proper discussion of definitions.
Despite all the available knowledge about change management, the GHIP pioneers have encountered the pitfall of their enthusiasm, and have left out essential steps of the change process. This is one of the important causes of the failure of the implementation of the project and CoP. To be successful all the known steps of the change process have to be followed and a lot of attention has to be paid to the network creation.
Without a proper network and CoP, it was impossible to achieve a widespread implementation of the GHIP standard, despite its good quality and usefulness for the daily innovation practice.
From the start, attention must be paid to the financials. When a process like this starts with a temporary financial arrangement, its necessary to make clear the terms for continuation of sponsoring for a longer period.
In retrospect, it can be concluded that the GHIP process never reached the stage of internalising. It took almost two years to pass through the first two stages (contact and awareness). By the time the GHIP ended in 2004, the process found itself somewhere between the stages of understanding and acceptance. With this in mind it can established that in healthcare it takes about two years to reach the next stage in a change process. Future projects must take that in account.
Extending programmes such as this require a proper scientific evaluation to define lessons learnt for future projects. Sneller Beter, for example, is a huge innovation programme, financed by the government. It was started in the Netherlands almost at the same time GHIP was stopped. This programme is set up according to a similar concept to the GHIP.
The CoP was formed by 24 hospitals. The programme met with considerable start-up problems, which could have been prevented had the experience of GHIP been used.
The fact that Sneller Beter is only one of the examples of projects that show so many similarities with GHIP, is a sign that apparently the philosophy of GHIP didnt disappear. Maybe it takes at least five years to make innovating concepts in healthcare operational.

Sedgwick County Commissioners voted against a tax incentive for a development in west Wichita. All of the commissioners voted down a TIF district for the Bowllagio project at Kellogg and Maize.
The Bowllagio is supposed to be an entertainment area including a bowling and training center, restaurants, hotels and shopping.
Commissioners say there are too many questions about the project. They are also worried about hidden costs and whether the project will benefit the county.
The Wichita City Council already approved the TIF or tax increment financing. The incentive allows property taxes generated from the project to help pay for land improvements.
In this TIF, the money would be used to improve drainage in the area prone to flooding.
Commissioner Dave Unruh says he did a lot of research before making up his mind. "We take this as a serious issue, this is not considered lightly. We've heard input from people on both sides of the issue and we'd like to make the best decision for the people going forward," says Unruh.
Now that commissioners voted it down, the issue will have to go back before the Wichita City Council.

A split-rail fence would appear to have no relationship with a swimming pool, but there is a common thread in that each has brought special recognition to two Mount Airy youths.
When Matthew Dowell was looking for a service project to complete as part of requirements for his Eagle Scout Award, the search led to Westwood Park, a city recreation facility on Galax Trail.
It would involve removing and replacing more than 1,000 linear feet of split-rail fencing at the park that opened in the 1980s.
Matthew enlisted the help of fellow members of Troop 538, based at First Baptist Church, for the effort — thus fulfilling a planning and development requirement of the Eagle Scout service project.
"This is a significant improvement at Westwood Park," Mayor Deborah Cochran said of the work Matthew led. In addition to the labor supplied by him and fellow scouters, "gracious donors" are credited with making the fence replacement a reality, Cochran said.
Matthew's project also was judged to have met the Eagle Scout Award criteria by providing a great benefit to the community as well as exemplifying quality leadership.
As an eighth-grader at Mount Airy Middle School, he is one of the younger scouts to attain Eagle Scout status, which fewer than 3 percent of Boy Scouts achieve.
Safer Swimming
Meanwhile, Sydney Peavy took a different path to gain the Girl Scout Gold Award, which often is compared to the Eagle Scout honor.
Sydney, a junior at Mount Airy High School, embarked on a service project based on making swimming safer.
Since she has been at home in the water from a young age, that was a natural choice for Sydney. In addition to becoming a certified lifeguard and water safety instructor, she has swam competitively, including for the MAHS team and the local Reeves Rapids squad.
"I've been swimming for as long as I can remember," Sydney said. "It's just been a big part of my life and I thought I would just like to share that with everyone else."
Her project focused on children, including leading water safety and drowning-prevention classes and providing free swimming lessons.
Sydney also organized a photography fundraiser and a letter-writing campaign and solicited donations to provide more than $500. It was donated to the Reeves Community Center Foundation to be earmarked for swimming lesson scholarships.
The student's efforts not only qualified her for the Girl Scout Gold Award, but brought recognition from the National Make-A-Splash Foundation.
"She's a great person," city Parks and Recreation Director Catrina Alexander said of the concern Sydney has exhibited for others.
Both Sydney and Matthew received certificates of appreciation for their efforts at last week's meeting of the Mount Airy Board of Commissioners.
Mayor Cochran called them "inspirations to young people everywhere."

I'm a powerball newbie, just got mine from the internet, and I wonder if my powerball is working properly. First of all, I apologize for the difficulty to describe my problem - english is not my first language. But here we go:
The room/gap between the both main plastic halves seems to be too wide for the ring that holds the rotor.
If I hold my powerball (not spinning) with the counter up, and push the rotor up with my finger, I feel a little gap (around 1mm, really small).
When I try to spin my powerball, most of the times this little gap makes the rotor "bounce" because of the free room avaliable for the ring.
I've opened the powerball and there's no dent, or anything that suggests damage. Maybe everything is ok and I am not spinning it the right way, but I want to be sure so that's why I'm asking here.
On the other hand, I feel like if that gap was smaller, maybe if would hold back the ring's horizontal rotation.

It may be a bit early for awards season, but the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences is hard at work narrowing down its film nominations. Among them is the docu-drama under the Philippines' Star Cinema Productions called Noy. Co-directed, produced and starring Filipino actor Coco Martin, Noy held a screening for press at Raleigh Studios in Los Angeles recently. The film is being considered in the Best Foreign Language Film category for the the 83rd Academy Awards, to be held in February 2011.
Fans, press and other celebrities gathered around the red carpet as the lone star, Coco Martin, stepped out of the limo and made his way to his film's screening.
Before his arrival, stars like Michael Copon, Ron Jeremy and the dance group Poreotics made red carpet appearances.
Martin plays Noy, a fabricated journalist amidst the real presidential campaign of now-President Benigno "Noynoy" Aquino III. No, this story isn't another Shattered Glass movie about a journalist who is a pathological liar. The film unravels as Noy's true identity is revealed as he is blind-sighted by the drive to support his widowed mother, crippled older brother and bright young sister.
The indie film has all-around compelling performances from the actors who bring out the true core of the family-oriented Filipino who faces hardships with resilience and hard work. As heard on Disney's Lilo and Stitch, " 'Ohana' means 'family.' 'Family' means no one gets left behind." That is the very case for this tale, but with a twist of fate and hint of Hurricane Ondoy's aftermath. The cinematography is also charming, with an assortment of shots which make life like a box of chocolates because you never know if you're going to get the bird's eye view or the close-up. The musical score has a great way of embedding historic revivals into the film. However, its plot left me a little confused. Even Ron Jeremy said that he thought the acting was great, but the plot could have been clearer.
After the film, Martin had a Q&A session and described his drive to carefully select roles because he is an advocate of the poor and also because he is one of the few Filipino celebrities who came from humble beginnings.
Martin has left his mark in the indie film industry in gay-oriented films Masahista (The Masseuse), Daybreak and Jay, but he truly got his break after starring in ABS-CBN dramas.
The event ended with a reception, and it was on to more drinks, appetizers, gift bags and fun!
Keep checking back with AudreyMagazine.com to find out the fate of Noy for the awards season. In the meantime, check out the trailer here:

Nominated for 12 Academy Awards and winning 8 — including Best Director (George Cukor) and Best Picture — the beloved 1964 adaptation of the Lerner & Loewe musical is at last on Blu-ray. Thankfully, the AVC-encoded transfer, apart from a rather lackluster-looking opening nighttime sequence in Covent Garden and some fading in places, is a bloomin' marvel. Contrast is generally terrific, and there's exquisite detail in Cecil Beaton's gorgeous costumes and production designs, with previously invisible background elements now revealed. Deep-focus compositions are sharply differentiated, from cobblestones on the street to faces in the crowd. What's more, the visuals are supported by a wondrously three-dimensional 7.1 mix. Extraordinarily clear, well-placed voices are in the front channels, and the immersive sonics of the musical numbers sweep you up for an experience that's truly transcendental.
Video: 1080p, 2.38:1. Audio: DTS-HD Master Audio 7.1. Extras: commentary by film restorers Robert A. Harris and James C. Katz, co-production designer Gene Allen, and singer Marni Nixon; "More Loverly Than Ever: The Making of My Fair Lady, Then and Now"; six vintage featurettes; alternate Audrey Hepburn vocals; galleries, with Rex Harrison radio interview accompanying some.

SYRACUSE, N.Y. -- The Executive Director of the McMahon-Ryan Child Advocacy Center will soon take on her new role as Family Court Judge. But before she begins the 10 year term, Julie Cecile took part in end of the year events for the center.
On Friday, crowds headed to Clinton Square for 14th annual "Sounds of the Season" fundraiser. It's one of the biggest fundraisers for the center and recognizes those who are dedicated to the cause.
"We honor individuals who have been front line people and organizations who have helped us throughout the years," Cecile said.
Among the honorees were representatives of the Junior League of Syracuse and Joanna Gozzi of the Onondaga County Attorney's Office.

"The atmosphere is beautiful."
"Zina never leaves a mark, and yes, that magical cream she makes is just amazing in how it can clear up skin."
"was looking for a good skin treatment place for a while."
"From reading all the reviews I was expecting a very friendly place, but it was a hole in the wall."
"have suffered with Acne for some time and have tried everything from medications to expensive lasers at the Dermatologists office but without any success."

Zina is honest and her facials are
effective. She won't sell you something you don't need, is honest in telling you what is wrong with your skin, and what results to reasonably expect and in how long. After less than two months, my skin is practically glowing (my friend even said so to me yesterday!), my skin is much softer, more hydrated and she has turned me on to much more natural products that are much better for my skin than the awful chemicals I was using before.
I am getting married in less than 4 months and I am confident that Zina will have my skin looking its best on my big day.
Thank you Zina!!
Thank you very much Zina! My
appointment with you was a wise investment. You taught me a lot. My skin looks fabulous. You were so generous and so kind. Even though I don't live in NYC I learned a lot from you in one appointment. I learned especially how the interior is reflected on the outside...(we are what we eat), and how using good quality skin care & makeup products is essential. Now I know how to care for my skin. I will come and see you every time I am in New York City and I look forward to it! So until then, saat'amde shemdeg jerze.
All my best to you, S. from Virginia
I feel so fortunate to have found Zina.
The time, care and expertise she puts into my facials is amazing. My skin looks brighter, more healthy, and certainly less wrinkled.
After years of facials at the 'popular, big-named' spas, I now see the difference a true facial can really make. Zina does not use a set routine for facials, but seems to tailor it to the needs of MY skin.
Zina, I thank you SO much for letting me see my true beauty. You are amazing.
Thank you Zina!.
This is my first online review ever and it is all because Zina is amazing.
The last time I used citysearch was when I found Zina 3 years ago. Since meeting Zina, no one else has touched my face. I have occasional breakouts and she is knowledgeable, caring, and does NOT miss a spot when she performs extraction. There is only a minimal amount of redness after each deep extraction (very very important when you have to work the next day).
In addition to our routine facials, Zina took special care of my face right before my big day. Even the makeup artist complimented on how easy it was to apply makeup for me. I definitely enjoy and relax at every session.
Im already worried about what I would do if I move to another city without Zina, thats the attachment I have!!
Because this is where I found Zina, I decided to give back and share my experience with all of you. Dont think I need to say more about why you need to book an appointment with Zina to improve your skin =)
sanctuary!. My mother is a beautician and absolutely adores Zina. She went back to the UK after many years of living in NYC; so now I needed someone to take care of my sensitive skin. I immediately thought of Zina. My mother had been having facials from her for years and would frequently tell me how happy she was to have finally "...found someone who knows what they're doing." So I went. I had a hydrodermie facial. Zina hardly left me for a moment. The face and neck massage had me in heaven. Even after she had applied the face mask she kept with me massaging my arms and hands. I felt so pampered... my skin glowed... my muscles relaxed. I can't wait to go back. Thank you so much Zina!
Aphrodite skin care their Singnature massage is the Best in Manhattan!!!!

I want to share my amazing experience I had at Aphrodite skin care.I had hot stone therapy and aroma facial by Angela!She is very professional and has very nice warm personality!Her techniques made me feel good relax and energetic and my puffiness from my eyes disappear!!!!
Thank you Angela ,thank you Aphrodite
I highly recommend this place. ;-)))
Skin Care you hope to find!.
Just try it. Dont think about it, do not hesitate. Try.
I don't want to copy all enthusiastic comments of my predecessor, though all it is true.
Aphodite was not my first experience of skin care and i was pretty sceptical about it. But the result is fascinating! No break-outs, smooth skin, beautiful color.. But the most exciting or me is that my fine lines all are gone! It's not just long lasting result. It is real transformation. After Zina's tratment I don't worry any more about:
-winter, cold, wind - no break outs or peeling
-summer, hit - no break outs, no black/white heads
-sweating (I workout every day) - no break outs or irritation
-foundation or powder - I just dont need it!
-my periods - no breakouts
-bright light - no fine lines can be seen
-smiling a lot - no fine lines forming
-going out for a date :) - smooth skin, plain color without makeup, silky touch, no break outs, NO FINE LINES.
I am 32. And isn't it cool when there are 8 people at the table in the restaurant and I am the only one who has to show ID to prove I'm 21 :) THANK YOU ZINA.
professional very experi aesthetician-- top quality facials. Zin a is top quality aesthetician with over 20 years of expertise in skin care, coupled with her professional knowledge of pharmacy. She diagnoses skin issues, and tailors facials to one's specific needs. No more dryness, redness, rosacia, break-outs.... my skin is significantly smoother, healthier, more radiant. Zin explains exactly how to take care of it between visits, and facial results are long-lasting. I look better, feel better, it makes a world of difference! Zina is very meticulous in her work, takes her time, and does an amazing job every time. I travel 2.5 hours each way from central NJ to have a facial done by Zina, and would not trade it for anything else. Salon is very clean, and Zina attends to one's skin's needs to highest level. Also, appointments are always on time, no wait-time. Despite an extensive variety of salons in the city with endless choices, I am, and will be Zina's loyal customer. She is a highly experienced professional who loves what she does. After seeing Zina's quality of work, I will not trust my face to anyone else. Give aphrodite skin care a chance-- you will not regret it! Treat yourself today.
Best facials in New York!!! Amazing results every time!!!.
I consider myself very fortunate to find this place after so many years and so much money spent at the numerous Manhattan spas! I have been going here for one year and a half. Now my skin looks as it never did in my life, with even tone and healthy texture. I always had very dry ultra-sensitive skin very prone to breakouts. When I saw Zina for the first time she promised to heal my skin, and she actually did and in just couple of months. After three facials friend of mine asked what I have been doing to my skin!
Zina is highly experienced esthetician. She always approaches my skin with customized facials, catering to the specific needs. She uses different high-tech machines, what I find rear for US. I never ever had any single breakout after she did extractions on me. After each facial my skin is just glowing, can't find any better word for that. Most of the clients here have been seeing her for years, now I definitely know I will be one of them.
To add, there are amazing anti-cellulite treatments (that actually work!) on the menu and infra-red sauna. I can't recommend this place more. If you want to get a quality skincare with long-term results, come here, you will not get disappointed! Thank you, Zina!

Went to boots today to sample a few new make up products Ive not tried before but found so many of them are out of stock on the fair/pale coloured ones! must be lots of pale girls around my area
I ended up with: 1) Natural collection Lash build mascara - I know its mega cheap but I actually quite like it! 2) 2 x pots of natural collection face powder - again mega cheap but I find it works just as well as the more expensive brands and it was 3 products for a fiver 3) Glow all out luminizing radience face powder from Soap and Glory - never tried this before but it looks quite nice, a slight shimmer to give you a bit of a glow, S&G make up on 3 for 2 at the moment so thought I would give this a go as I wanted the next 2 products! 4) Show good face foundation and primer from Soap and Glory - Trying out the fairest of them all shade as Ive read so many good reviews on this 5) Kick ass concealer from Soap and Glory - I'm struggling to find a really good concealer for my horrible under eye circles and I'm hoping this is as good as what people are saying it is! |

I'm still undecided. I have very long hair which can get frizzy at the ends and the oil definitely makes the ends feel smoother but I don't feel it controls frizz as well as I'd like.

I just bought Superdrug Vitamin E Body Moisturiser which is absolutely darn fantastic. Having being diagnosed with Crohens Disease last month I am constantly dehydrated and even just drinking water my skin still was not good. So did a bit of surfing and found good things about this and the body scrub. Just love it.
Also to chear myself up bought two nail polishes from Marks and Spencer, tried the darker one not that impressed, 48hrs on and it started to wear at the edges. Also a fuschia colour which does look lovely, but puttin it on is not good, no matter how hard I try it seems to streak, very annoying |

For years I've used L'Occitane Hand Cream (£18.50 for 150ml), but now that they have lost their BUAV status I have been on the look out for a decent alternative. Well, to cut a long story short, I've found it. I know it's advertised as a Body Butter, but it's also a great hand cream. Okay, it's probably isn't quite as moisturising as the L'Occitane one, but for £2.99 for 200ml, I'll learn to live with it. |

Yes they're lovely, makes the hair look really elegant in a bun. Being ultra cautious though, I cover mine in silk as the doughnut material can be quite rough.

To be honest L&L I think there is probably very little damage that can be done with them. I did lose a few hairs but nothing major. I just don't like the thought of the hair rubbing against that rough material all day.

Today I went to Boots to buy some MaxFactor foundation. At the counter, the girl told me it was 3 for 2! I spend a fortune on that stuff so was very happy with the offer.
I also ended up buying hair dye, nail polish and tweezers which I didn't intend to buy. |

In the last week I've been a bit naughty: Aussie shampoo travel sizers because I forgot to take my shampoo home, and Benefit face powder. The powder is lush, and lasts forever, I just really can't afford it atm!

Usually in free gifts like that they give you the crap unwearable colours but these are lovely. MUA lip liner red drama MUA Lipstick shade 2 Look lip liner in Tangerine Cream 2 soap and glory "mist you madly" one is for my Mum though. EDIT: For anyone looking for a really good concealer try the MUA Conceal and brighten kit. £3.50 from superdrug. I brought it a few weeks back and it's the best £3.50 I have ever spent. |
