A meeting at the Bridge
(In April 1997, this message & followup reply were posted on the Time-Warner Pets Forum on CompuServe by staff member Margaret Kowalski. I have posted it here for all to share. It is a true story.)
Last fall, in the dark hours of a very windy early morning, fire sirens sounded in our quiet neighborhood. In quick succession, another and another and another screaming truck rolled up. The HI-LO howl of an Ambulance hurrying to it's destination joined the chorus. Suddenly the howl of the wind lost the battle for supremacy; it could no longer compete with those sirens. Now two police cruisers converged on our quiet corner. The night, no longer dark and empty, was a collage of color, bustle and man-made noise. Cars were leaving their stalls in the parking lots, to be replaced by fire fighting equipment, rescue truck and ambulance; fire fighters, paramedics, police, and the people evicted from the row houses milled around in the mixture. The smells of a fire out of control replaced the odors of late fall. The air was now full of flying, smoking embers instead of blowing leaves. By morning it was clear that the men and equipment had won the battle. The cost of that victory tallied out at one house destroyed, several badly smoke-damaged, many tired but thankful Emergency Services staff, two firefighters being treated for smoke inhalation, and a little girl's two kitties, victims of the raging fire.
This child was torn between the pain of her furkids' death, and the thankfulness felt by them all that the fire hadn't claimed more lives. At first she was convinced that she shouldn't mourn for her furfamily, because the whole family had lost so much and it would only make her Mom and Dad feel worse. She even thought that somehow she was responsible for the fire in the first place because she had named those kitties Dusty and Smokey. It was a heavy load for that little heart to carry and mind to deal with; this little girl had successfully fought one round of a battle with Leukemia, and now she had been handed another battle with grief.
When she found out about the Candle Ceremony, and read some of the stories and poems about Rainbow Bridge, she grasped the knowledge and made it all hers. She even had a special name for the participants in the Candle Ceremony each week, and eagerly joined in herself, with her Mom and Dad. We were re-named "the Candle People", we who had helped a little girl deal with and start to heal from her loss.
Some weeks ago, the Leukemia reappeared, and she was hospitalized again. The treatments this time were not effective, and she slowly lost ground, though not her sense of humor not her consideration for other people... especially those caring for her. This week, she drifted along the borders of knowing and not knowing, until she lost all knowing.
Early this morning, 12:30 AM, Tuesday April 15, 1997, she opened her eyes and smiled at her parents who were sitting on the edges of her bed; her eyes looked beyond them, her mouth opened and she said with a voice full of love and wonder, "SMO-key!!" Her little self relaxed, and Della went forward to meet her Smokey and Dusty on that Bridge.
Please remember her family, consisting of her Mom, Dad and Grandma as well as two Aunts, an Uncle and two cousins, in your prayers.
Thank you all.
Some time later the following letter was received from Della's family with a request that it be shared with all the "Candle People":
Thanks from Della's Mom and Dad
want to thank each and every one of you who shared the most painful time
we've ever known. When we had the fire last fall, we were so very discouraged;
all that we had gathered in 12 years as a family was gone. We had a distraught
daughter who lost not only her inanimate treasures, but also had to adjust
to the death of her two kitties. Smokey and Dusty had been given to Della
when her leukemia went into remission, and they were her joy. We had not
been allowed the time to save them, there was only time to get Della out,
and escape ourselves. But oh, we felt so guilty!
Then a knock at the door, and Heather from Disaster Relief Services asked if we would let a lady come over for a few minutes and talk to us. We hesitated for a few minutes, and Heather said that she felt it would be all right, and if we wished, she would stay with us. With that assurance, we agreed to see this lady, and Heather phoned to ask if she could come then. Marg came in, and spent almost half an hour talking to us, telling us that she would like to share something with Della that had helped other people who had to recover from the loss of a loved one. She showed us the text of what she called The Candle Ceremony, as well as some writings, and asked if she could show them to Della and talk to her for a few minutes. When we said that she could, she asked that we stay with them, since we didn't know her, and that if at any time we were uncomfortable to stop her there.
Della took to Marg right away, and was thrilled that her babies were going to be remembered with love by so many people. Marg talked about their death with a great deal of sensitivity to a sorrowing 10 year old. Before she left, she gave Della her phone number and address, telling her that if she wanted to talk, she could phone or come to her house. As Marg told her, she wouldn't stop hurting all at once, but it would get better with time. We're sure that Della's recovery from Smokey and Dusty's death was made smoother by the love that Marg brought from you all and shared with Della.
The night that Della came home and said that she had talked to the Candle People was a highlight of her life..... she was too excited to sleep, all she could talk about was how great you all are and didn't even care that she was so slow at typing.
Pete and I have been the beneficiaries of that love and caring these past weeks, and it was that caring and the prayers, accompanied by the candle glow, that gave us the strength to support Della as she herself made her way to the re-union with Smokey and Dusty. Marg called herself the pipeline for the caring of all of you, and we felt surrounded by a ring of prayer, love and support. We can't ever thank you enough, but we want you to know that we'll be on the lookout for ways and opportunities to be part of that pipeline for other people who are hurting like this.
Again, thank you all from grateful hearts.
In sincere gratitude,
Pete and Mary
The final chapter to this incredible story:
On April 14, 1998 I received a beautiful letter from Della's Parents.
Since it is also for all of you who light candles each Monday, I am sharing it with you.
Marion has graciously said that she'll bring this to you, since we weren't able to get to the chat place last night. I want to say "Thank you, from very grateful hearts for what you've done".
Last night was the first time that we've been able to read Meeting on the Bridge and our reply on your webspace. Your introduction is beautiful, and when we close our eyes and think of it, we'll always see it against the background you've chosen. It's as if she's speaking from beyond the sky, isn't it? We were telling Mother about what a sense of peace there is about the way you've presented it, and her comment was "When someone dies, we hold funerals or memorial services, we place markers on the grave and pretty soon the only ones who know of that life are family and friends. It's not going to be like that for Della". You have made it possible for our daughter to continue doing what she loved to do in the world, make a difference for people, and help them to feel better. Words can never thank you enough.
This has been the most terrible year and a half of our lives; yet through all the pain and tears, we've been so blessed. Marg led us to the Candle People, and from them we've been given the strength to move ahead into a deeper peace than we could have thought possible. You will all be a part of our own Candle Ceremony as we remember Della on this first anniversary of her Meeting with Smokey and Dusty this Wednesday.
Again, thank you for the marvellous work you're doing on your webplace, and thank you for sharing the most devastating yet most wonderful moment of our lives.
Awed love
Mary and Pete
Just four days after I received the letter, I learned that on April 18th 1998 Pete, Mary, and Della's Grandmother were victims of a head on collision while visiting relatives on the first anniversary of Della's passing.
They are now all together. Again and forever. Across the Rainbow Bridge.

Like all Toyota trucks and some vehicles in the Toyota line, the Toyota Pickup is known for its reliability. Many models, even from this time, still run fine. There are few known problems with the Pickup.
The Toyota Pickup has an excellent 3.0-liter V-6 engine that produced 150 horsepower. The truck's small size meant this displacement is enough to get the truck really moving. Unfortunately, the torque of the engine doesn't compare to other domestic pickups available during the same period. The five-speed Xtracab with the 3.0-liter V-6 could go from zero to 60 mph in 13.1 seconds.
Like many other Toyota vehicles, the cabin is fairly quiet. Engine noise is heard at higher revs of course, but wind noise is kept to a minimum. The handling and suspension feels comfortable, even on the highly-strung four-wheel drive model. The four-wheel drive demand system was also easy to control in comparison to earlier four-wheel-drive models made by Toyota.
Unfortunately, cab space is somewhat an issue in the Toyota Pickup. Although the front bench is meant to seat three, only two can do so comfortably. The rear seat in the Xtracab is hard to access and a bit cramped for an adult. The seat is also thinly padded, making for an uncomfortable ride.
A complaint at the time of release was the high price of the vehicle. But now you can pick one up for a song.
There are some issues with the Toyota Pickup build. Transmission noise is common on the 1990 model due to a faulty driveshaft. The noise comes as a high whistle. Always test drive before making a purchase to ensure the model doesn't suffer from this problem.
A faulty clutch design on the 1990 and 1991 models will cause a blown-out bearing to squeal. This clutch must be replaced with a new one.
There were also issues with the shifting lever for the transmission mounted on the steering column. The mechanics commonly bind after a few years, requiring a replacement.
Several engines were available throughout the vehicle run. A 2.4-liter fuel injected and carbureted four-cylinder engine was available, as well as a 3.0-liter V-6 in 1990. The carbureted engine was ended in 1991. The fuel-injected engine became standard. A more powerful 3.0-liter V-6 was introduced to the SR5 models as well as the Xtracabs in 1991.
The Toyota Pickup was discontinued in 1994, replaced by the Toyota Tacoma, which is still in production today.
Several changes were made to the Toyota Pickup throughout its run.
In 1991, rear-wheel ABS was made standard on the SR5 models. Four-Wheel Demand was standard on the SR5 V-6 models and was optional on other four-wheel Pickups. The Four-Wheel Demand system had auto-locking front hubs, and a floor-mounted transfer case allowed shift-on-the-fly possible between two-wheel and four-wheel drive. The carbureted 2.4-liter engine was dropped this year in favor for the fuel-injected engine.
A small exterior change was made in 1992. All Toyota Pickups received a new front valance panel as well as a grille with the Toyota logo incorporated into it. The grilles were slightly different between the two-wheel drive and four-wheel drive models. The dashboard storage compartment was moved underneath the radio, slightly changing the dashboard.
The larger Toyota Pickup models were discontinued to favor the Toyota Tacoma and T-100 models, which grew in size during their production runs, adding an Xtracab model. The four-wheel drive long bed Toyota Pickup, the One Ton, and the long bed two-wheel drive models were discontinued in 1992.
The exterior of the vehicle is once again changed in 1992. Exterior logos and graphics are added to jazz up the vehicle's image.
The four-wheel drive SR5 V-6 now had 31-inch tires when the alloy wheels were installed.
All long-bed Pickups were dropped in the 1994 year to highlight the other, larger models in the line. The Toyota Pickup was now truly compact, making it the ideal vehicle for driving in the city. This is the most refined of the entire run. New safety features were added as well, including side-door beams to protect during a side impact, and a center-mounted high stoplight on the back of the vehicle.
If you are looking for a compact truck that can lift and carry a heavy load you are better off looking at some of the domestic vehicles from the same period. However, the Toyota Pickup build quality is exceptional. The quiet cabin, strong engine and nice styling make the Toyota Pickup a decent used vehicle.

The annual Carnegie Hall performances by the young musicians from the Sphinx Organization are always illuminating, not only because they are the fruits of an inspiring program, but also because the performances are invariably energetic and finely burnished. Sphinx, which is based in Detroit and was started in 1996 by Aaron P. Dworkin, a violinist, is dedicated to getting black and Hispanic students involved in classical music, mainly by training them to play and compose but also through music history courses that help produce informed listeners.
The organization provides instruments and scholarship money ($1.5 million so far). Participants in its performance classes can enter annual competitions for cash prizes and an opportunity to tour with the Sphinx Chamber Orchestra, which played at Carnegie Hall on Tuesday evening.
The ensemble, conducted by Damon Gupton, opened its program with a shimmering, lovingly shaped reading of Sibelius's Andante Festivo. All the hallmarks of a first-rate string ensemble were in place: its tone was warm and varied, it moved with unity and fluidity, and its textures were appealingly transparent. Those qualities, reconfigured to yield a trim, Classical sound, enlivened a brisk performance of Mendelssohn's youthful String Symphony No. 7.
Mr. Gupton also led a lilting account of "Coqueteos," a seductively melodic movement from Gabriela Lena Frank's "Leyendas: An Andean Walkabout," and closed the program with the hard-driven finale of Coleridge-Taylor Perkinson's Sinfonietta No. 1.
Solo and chamber performances were interspersed with the orchestral scores. The Catalyst Quartet, a new ensemble sponsored by Sphinx, played the Allegro Rustico movement from Ginastera's Quartet No. 2 with an earthy vigor that made you wonder why whoever assembles Sphinx's programs did not have them offer the complete work.
Elena Urioste and Melissa White, two superb violinists whose performances were also highlights of last year's concert, returned to collaborate on a sizzling, acidic account of Prokofiev's Sonata for Two Solo Violins (Op. 56).
A third violinist, Randall Goosby, the first-prize winner in the junior division of this year's Sphinx Competition, exerted a masterly level of control and lavished an exquisite tone on Ysaÿe's unaccompanied Sonata No. 3. Mr. Goosby does not yet have a fully developed sense of how to fill a phrase with drama, but that will come: he is only 13, and his performance won him a deserved standing ovation for its sheer virtuosity.

About this font family
Bodoni Classic Deco Two, like the original Bodoni Classic Deco, breaks all rules.
Giambattista Bodoni himself would probably hate me for doing it; he was a real purist. The whole idea of the Bodoni typeface is no embellishments and here I go and decorate those nice clear letters. Shame on me!
But I find this is a very nice and useful typeface for all kinds of cards and certificates. So I just did it for all of you out there that are not born purists, and want a little embellishment to their lives. More…
And to make things worse, I added a small caps cut. I even decorated the numbers. This Bodoni is the condensed version!!!
Yours, still breaking all the rules, Gert Wiescher

The Integral Vision
Suppose we took everything that all the various world cultures have to tell us about human potential—about psychological, spiritual, and social growth—and identified the basic patterns that connect these pieces of knowledge. What if we attempted to create an all-inclusive map that touches the most important factors from all of the world's great traditions?
Ken Wilber's Integral Vision provides such a map. Using all the known systems and models of human growth—from the ancient sages to the latest breakthroughs in cognitive science—it distills their major components into five simple elements, and, moreover, ones that readers can verify in their own experience right now.
In any field of interest, such as business, law, science, psychology, health, art, or everyday living and learning—the Integral Vision ensures that we are utilizing the full range of resources for the situation, leading to a greater likelihood of success and fulfillment. With easily understood explanations, exercises, and familiar examples, The Integral Vision shows how we can accelerate growth and development to higher, wider, deeper ways of being, embodied in self, shared in community, and connected to the planet, which can literally help with everything from spiritual enlightenment to business success to personal relationships.
"Philosopher, psychologist, and mystic Wilber delivers on the subtitle's far-reaching promise. . . . Chock full of handsome illustrations and spare, Zen-like diagrams and tables, Wilber's work here is still accessible and at times surprisingly practical. Some language spirals up majestically, recalling great Eastern texts. Reminiscent in spirit and watershed import of Ram Dass's Be Here Now, Wilber may well have created a popular classic for explorers on the frontiers of humanity." —Publishers Weekly
"[Wilber's] heady multidimensional approach is deciphered in this spiffy full-color paperback filled with pop culture graphics, tables, and charts. If you are interested in consciousness, complexity, maps, multiple intelligences, and more, here is a comprehensive philosophy that puts it all together." —Spirituality and Health

Caldwell blow for Wigan
Wigan will be without captain Gary Caldwell for at least a fortnight as the Scotland international recovers from a hamstring injury.
Caldwell aggravated the problem in the defeat at Newcastle on December 3 but suspension for the weekend's 2-2 draw at QPR lessened his absence slightly.
However, it could be Boxing Day before the centre-back returns, although manager Roberto Martinez has received more encouraging news about Ivan Ramis as he looks to repair a patched up defence.
"Caldwell is still in week one of a three-week recovery period," the Spaniard told Latics Player.
"He missed the game against Reading (on November 24) as he was carrying a bit of a hamstring problem and that was accentuated in the Newcastle game.
"It will be between two or three weeks but he has recovered well and in the last couple of days he has been progressing.
"He won't be ready for Norwich (on Saturday) but he won't be far away."
Martinez estimates fellow centre-back Antolin Alcaraz is "10 days away" from returning from a groin problem while Ramis is "50-50" for Carrow Road after a hamstring problem.

At the New York Times blog The Lede, Robert Mackey and Kareem Fahim report:
The American comedian Jon Stewart's criticism of the Egyptian government briefly escalated into a diplomatic incident on Tuesday, as the United States Embassy in Cairo shared a link to a "Daily Show" segment on Twitter, causing the office of Egypt's president to react with anger.
Mr. Stewart devoted the first 11 minutes of his program on Monday to mocking Egypt's continuing investigation of Bassem Youssef, the Arab world's most popular television comedian, for the supposedly criminal use of satire in jokes about President Mohamed Morsi and his Islamist political party.
There is much more in the Mackey/Fahim report, all of it worth a look. They also post Stewart's 11-minute commentary below. What is a source of anger to Morsi's office is, well, anger management therapy to me.
THIS JUST IN: NRO reports: "According to Egyptian president Mohamed Morsi's official Twitter account, the U.S. ambassador to the country has apologized for tweeting a link to a video of Comedy Central host Jon Stewart criticizing Morsi."

Initiated in 2007 by a group of ardent fish-keeping hobbyists, Kolkata Aquarium Club (Registration No: s/11/77619) is one of its kind. From what started as an online group in Orkut, KAC soon became a preferred medium for hobbyists, not only from Kolkata, but across India (and also overseas) to exchange their views on fish-keeping and aqua-culture. What is unique in KAC is the blend of both senior hobbyists and beginners, sharing their views, learning and teaching, under a common roof. Governed by a single love of the aquatic life, be it for the flora or the fauna, KAC has united the members beyond the realms of the hobby to deep endearing friendship. Indeed with our common hobby to bind us all, KAC has provided us the perfect foil to indulge in 'fishy' discussions and thus engage ourselves collectively into a hobby that has provided an escapade from the otherwise tormenting realms of life.
It is interesting to note that unlike other online forums, the members of KAC did not limit themselves to activities related to fish-keeping in their decorative aquarium in their homes only, but a major focus of the members were to promote ethical fish-keeping. Many members of KAC actively took part in campaigns to improve fish-keeping in public-aquariums to raising the awareness of fish-keepers to refrain from keeping mutilated or deformed fishes like parrots or dyed fishes. In fact, KAC has also campaigned against government institutions to ensure that the fish kept in the public aquariums were taken better care. Not only has such campaigns raised the awareness of many hobbyists who today refrain from buying mutilated or dyed fishes, but also the members have come together under the banner of KAC and spread the message actively across other forums and social media sites like Orkut, Facebook and Youtube. Today, with our history of successful campaigns, thankfully in many circles, hobbyists have recognized the values we stand for, and have refrained from keeping mutilated and dyed ornamental fish. Today, it is the motto of every KAC member, who is true to this hobby at heart, to help us in our endeavors in prevention of cruelty to animals.
KAC has truly helped us with the perfect platform to develop our knowledge and skills while pursuing our hobby. While in the early years, most of the discussions in the lively forums centered on fishes which were more commonly available, today, the dynamics of the discussions have undergone a drastic change for the better. The journey has been most fulfilling for all those who have witnessed the development of the hobby across social circles. With greater access to a wider variety of exotic fishes, amphibians and crustaceans, coupled with better aquarium equipment and supplies, the hobbyists in this forum have made their mark in the best fish-keeping circles globally. Be it the planted tanks where KAC members have produced breath-taking aqua-scapes, or cichlid setups with vibrancy that captures the imagination of every hobbyist, KAC has ensured that we have progressed in our pursuit in this hobby. In fact, quite a few members have been acclaimed for their show-piece tanks, in both national and international competitions. And all these were made possible through the collective knowledge that was channelized through a platform, we proudly call the KAC.
Happy fish-keeping.

The polls do show that Canadians want this mission to end, in it's current configuration. However, there is also a sense of some responsibility, the majority of Canadians are not in favor of abandoning Afghanistan. You could argue, and I've prescribed to this view earlier as well, that the Liberals have struck the right balance between demanding change and further commitment with their nuanced stance. That said, what has happened over the past month may have eroded that ground for the Liberal position, as the government has moved with vigor.
We can argue about Manley until the cows come home, but the bottomline, that panel has provided this government with a backdrop, a set of requirements, that if met, suggest "success". Harper is armed with Manley, a public relations exercise, that achieved the goal of setting out parameters that everyone can focus on. Should the government meet those objectives, it then presents a more attractive argument for extension.
At this very moment, the government is involved in intense negotiations with the French to secure the required troop increase, "demanded" by Manley. While this is occuring, word comes of Poland helping us with our helicopter requirement, not to mention MacKay suggesting there would "be more news" on that front in the coming days. Fast-forward to securing commitment from other NATO allies, you then have to wonder if it is realistic to then argue that Canada's combat role should end. Think about the optics, we have secured more troops and helicopters, others have stepped up to help Canada, then Canada turns around and says we are leaving the front, for less risky terrain. The spectacle of that diplomatic hypocrisy is something every Liberal should keep in mind.
Here is the Conservative motion, introduced yesterday:
Canada should build on its accomplishments and shift to accelerate the training of the Afghan army and police so that the government of Afghanistan can defend its own sovereignty and ensure that progress in Afghanistan is not lost...
House supports the continuation of Canada's current responsibility for security in Kandahar beyond February 2009, to the end of 2011, in a manner fully consistent with the UN mandate on Afghanistan, but with increasing emphasis on training the Afghan National Security Forces expeditiously to take increasing responsibility for security in Kandahar and Afghanistan as a whole so that, as the Afghan National Security Forces gain capability, Canada's combat role should be commensurately reduced...
The Conservatives leave room for a combat role, but put emphasis on a shifting mission that focuses on training and re-construction. The Liberals are essentially arguing the latter aspects, while stubbornly insisting that the combat portion be eliminated. The simple facts, if Canada remains in the volatile south, there will be casualties, there will shots in anger. It is almost naive to think that Canadians can remain this region, without the Taliban attacking the invaders. Common sense assumes that there will be some combat, maybe not offensive operations, but clearly a "security" component. I think it folly to dismiss the opinion of Hillier, when he says it is unrealistic to think we can entirely eliminate the military component, not in the south.
The government will emphasis the shifting emphasis on the mission, armed with Manley and the powerful commitment of other nations to "help" Canada. Where are the Liberals, if they demand an end, just when the conditions of Manley are met. Other countries, willing to fight with us, then we say "this isn't for us", we will do other things. I see that as a hard sell for the Liberals, given that Harper only needs 40% of Canadians to get on board. Harper has moved onto the Liberal position, maybe the best course for the Liberals is too jump on board, eliminate the issue entirely. Otherwise, the Liberals risk arguing the margins, while the thrust is mostly consistent, a stance that isn't necessarily the advantage many of us saw earlier. Right now, at this moment, Harper is out-flanking the Liberals.

There you will find venom, but be sure that the iLVL is set to 120 since venom doesnt have an ilvl 50 version (pick ilevel at top right or rune crafting window)
Class sets, can be found in the 2nd tab (Create Set Runes) make sure you have you class selected should be top left of window. the GA (Genetic Archieves) set is called 'unity' and the DS (Datascape) set is called 'burning rage' they are called GA and DS sets because the materials required to craft them are found in those respective raids by killing bosses.
LMK if you have anymore questions!
Can I get any of these with the rune tokens I was given upon returning to the game? I would assume no, since the materials needed to craft them come from raids?
While we grind out the mats needed for these rune sets what should we be using till then?

Before & After: A $30 Pallet Day Bed
It was an exciting moment when I realised the large pallet I had just scored from a business down the road fit perfectly between the open french doors and the lattice on the back deck. It was a sign. Clearly this pallet was meant to be my day bed.
When I knocked on the door of the receiving dock I was actually interested in the wooden crate that had been sitting outside for over a month, but they had plans for the crate so they offered me their giant pallet instead. I didn't really have a plan for it yet, but there's always something you can do with a pallet, so I took it home.
When I realised how well it fit I got to work!
$12.00 Castor wheels from the hardware store.
$0.00 White paint leftover from my storage units from the garage.
$5.00 Foam mattress from a second hand store.
$10.00 Weatherproof fabric for the mattress cover from reverse garbage.
$3.00 Old film festival flag from reverse garbage.
All the painting, sewing, eyelet punching and drilling was done by us over a week and now we have the perfect place to sit and enjoy the backyard.

I believe even the thickest IB is slimmer than quadrics, but yes, I'm hoping for optical in the next genreation. though in general, I think the cluster layout is actually more important than worrying about the cable. for instance, distributing leaf switches among racks is probably a good idea, and if you do that, you almost certainly want to use copper for short/local interconnect. > It is a larger system product for now, but as bandwidth demands go up on >smaller systems it won't be the length limitations that kill copper, but >weight, diameter, added power draw, BERs, and equalizing total links costs. I'm skeptical of the proposition that bandwidth is changing that much - reeks of the great inet bubble. within a cluster, sure, there are some apps which do really want more bw. (though the most common bw-user I hear of is weather codes which seem to do all-to-all purely out of laziness.) bw out of clusters is probably growing, but at modest rates - have you priced a full-on 1Gb ISP link, let alone 10Gb? regards, mark hahn.

Beauty Within Reach
(page 1 of 2)
Sunspots ruining that once radiant skin? Workouts won't banish that belly fat? Relax. These modern, non-invasive procedures can conquer any aesthetic issue. Local experts share the details on their top accessible innovations to smooth away wrinkles, diminish problem areas, and make you feel more confident and beautiful than ever before.
Remodel and Rejuvenate Your Skin
Procedure Names: LumiFacial®, LumiLift® and Skin Remodeling treatments
The Patient: Men and women of any age looking for a non-invasive, non-surgical anti-aging treatment to rejuvenate and revitalize skin.
How it works: LumiFacial® uses four different colors of LED light therapy to repair skin cells and treat common skin problems, such as minor acne, redness, and uneven pigmentation. The LumiLift® is a photo-rejuvenation procedure ideal for lifting face, eyes, and chest, and minimizing lines and wrinkles. The Skin Remodeling treatment stimulates collagen in the deeper layers of the skin, replacing aged and sun-damaged collagen, tightening, lifting muscles and smoothing wrinkles.
Risks Factors: Slight redness may occur depending on the patient.
Recovery: Relax for five to ten minutes after procedure; little to no recovery time needed for most clients, with many clients seeing results after one session.
Maintenance: A good skin care regimen combined with a monthly maintenance treatment is recommended for optimal results. Without maintenance, may last up to nine to 12 months.
Costs: Prices start at $70 for LumiFacial® and $190 for Lumilift® or Skin Remodeling, and vary upon the number of sessions.
The Expert: Lisa Fulton at Hoku Beauty & Day Spa, Ala Moana Building, 1441 Kapiolani Blvd. #2020, Honolulu, HI 96814, 808-941-1166, www.hokubeautyspa.com.
Rejuvenate and Look Younger in Just One Visit
Procedure Names: Botox® and Injectable Fillers
The Patient: Men and women who want to naturally enhance and restore their appearance by reducing facial wrinkles, or prevent them from occurring.
How they work: Botox®, Dysport®, and Xeomin® are the three types of Botox® available, and are all equally effective. They can reduce frown lines and wrinkles between the brows, forehead and crow's feet. An injection of botulinum toxin also relaxes the muscles, reducing the activity that causes wrinkles. One 10-minute treatment can produce results that last up to four months. Facial Fillers are injectables, such as Juvederm®, Restylane®, Perlane® and Radiesse®, that can instantly smooth away wrinkles around the mouth, enhance cheekbones, create fuller lips, and diminish bagginess around the eyes. This treatment is often called a "liquid lift" because it takes one short visit with results lasting up to one year.
Risk Factors: Minor redness and swelling which are self-limited and brief. Minor discomfort at injection site with occasional bruising is possible.
Recovery: Typically patients can return to work immediately.
Maintenance: Botox® typically lasts three to four months; facial fillers typically six months to a year.
Cost: Varies depending on the individual patient's needs.
The Expert: Dr. David Yew—www.hawaiibotox.com—Two locations: Q Laser Center, 1183 Bethel Street, 524-1237; and at Face It, 99-128 Aiea Heights Dr. Suite 102A , Aiea, 488-3310.
One Size Smaller in One Hour, Without Surgery
Procedure Name: Liposonix® treatment
The Patient: Men and women looking to safely and non-surgically treat their problem areas and remove stubborn abdominal fat.
How it Works: The Liposonix® treatment uses high-intensity ultrasound technology to permanently destroy targeted fat around your waistline and other problem areas. The body naturally removes the treated fat, leaving you looking noticeably thinner after just one treatment, with maximum results seen in 8 to 12 weeks. The hour-long treatment does not harm your skin. This procedure is not a replacement for a healthy lifestyle, or a way to lose weight.
Risk Factors: Backed by over 10 years of research, the treatment poses no significant risks to the patient. Occasional discomfort, slight pain, and tingling may occur during and after the treatment. Temporary bruising or redness on the treated areas can also occur post-treatment.
Recovery: No recovery is necessary for this non-invasive treatment. Most people go back to work and resume their daily lifestyle right after.
Maintenance: No special post-care is required, but it is recommended to maintain a healthy and active lifestyle after the treatment.
Cost: Varies depending on the individual patient's needs.
The Expert: Dr. Kevin J. Mott, at Cosmeskin Hawaii, 500 Ala Moana Boulevard, 537-5522, www.cosmeskin.com.

the slow process of settling.
it's slow going round here. but every day there's a little more information. church bells and a slowed pace. which outlets work and in which direction the apartment leans. who i can call to fix the drawer in the kitchen or unstick the window to the fire escape. and what it feels like to wake first thing and know this space is my own.
(and now there's internet).

View the best solar energy companies currently servicing Vick, AR
Our 3 reviews of the 9 solar power companies servicing Vick in 2019 shows you the best 10 local solar panel installation companies by reputation. Enter your zip code and bill into the solar cost and savings calculator above to also see the cost of installing solar with the best solar companies near you and to get free quotes if you wish.
Firstly, no solar contractors can pay to get listed at the top of our search results.
The order of our list of best solar installers is displayed based on a formula balancing reviews number and reviews score only from the last two years. If a company has a lot of reviews and a higher average reviews score, but is below another company in the list, it is because most of their reviews are old and the company above them has more reviews at a better average reviews score in the last two years (even if overall they have fewer reviews or a lower all time average reviews score).
We show all solar energy contractors that have received reviews of solar panel installation work they have done in Vick even if they don't have an office in Vick. There are a lot of renewable energy companies in the solar industry in the United States that service areas in which they don't have offices via contract installation teams. Some of these companies receive a lot of complaints (see the big national installers reviews like Vivint Solar, Sunrun and Solar City), but others have really good reviews and so we don't exclude them from our top solar companies lists. They often bring price competition to smaller cities where the local solar companies are so busy they need to put their prices up. It is up to you how much weight you put on a local office when choosing between solar companies.
I can not express how happy we are with the solar system. It is an investment that we are benefitting from now and will in the future. I love these $13-$15 dollar electric bills compared to the $300- $400 plus bills we were getting..... I would highly recommend AEV Solar. The guys are very knowledgeable and great to work with. They monitor your system to make sure it is always running at the highest efficiency. Customers can also check their own energy production on the Solar Edge app. Solar is the way of the future!... read more

This company installed a 3K string inverter system for me in Washington county Arkansas. Since installed I have been overwhelming impresses with the results. First I live in 1,500 square foot home, married and have 2 teenage children. My furnace and water heater are the only thing gas in my home. With this being said I have a grid tie system so I get a credit on my usage which in turn lowers my bill. My system was installed October 24th, 2014. After it being installed I have saved on average 46% of what it compares to the previous year. I guess what I'm telling this is I had one of the better days today when I received my electric bill ( that I've been eagerly waiting on with the sun staying out longer ) my bill was $28.50. I am very pleased with the install, function,warranty,company and representatives and all the $ that I have saved and will save even when the electric company decides to raise there rates which they always do. Thank you for what you have done for my family.... read more

Working with Greenside Energy was an unbelievable experience. We got a half dozen proposals from installers before we pulled the trigger. Greenside didn't just sell us a solar system but educated us about all the componets like the inverters, power optimizers, snd solar panels. They set us up with an amazing web based monitoring portal so we are able to track our power production in real time. After The install was complete they used their quad copter to take an aerial photo of our system which we have hung up in our office!

Upper Arlington High School football coach Mike Golden knows what to expect from the Olentangy Liberty offense when his team plays host to the Patriots in an OCC-Central Division contest Friday, Sept. 27.
Upper Arlington High School football coach Mike Golden knows what to expect from the Olentangy Liberty offense when his team plays host to the Patriots in an OCC-Central Division contest Friday, Sept. 27.
"They run a lot of two-back sets with two backs next to the quarterback, but they'll still spread you out," he said. "They'll emphasize the run, like we do, but they can pass. Our defense has to be prepared, but we've had quite a bit thrown at us already this year."
UA and Liberty entered the matchup with identical 2-2 overall records and 1-0 marks in the OCC-Central.
The Golden Bears lost their first two games by a combined score of 53-14, but clawed back to .500 with lopsided wins over Gahanna (31-7 on Sept. 13) and Thomas Worthington (45-7 on Sept. 20 in their league opener).
UA amassed 277 yards rushing against Gahanna, passing for only 29, and rolled up 403 of its 460 yards at Thomas on the ground.
Liberty also got back to .500 on Sept. 20, riding a 499-yard performance -- 312 rushing -- in a 49-7 rout of visiting Central Crossing. The Patriots are averaging 186 yards rushing per game and 5.1 per carry on 146 attempts.
Last season, Liberty defeated UA 37-21 in a game that began on a Friday night but was suspended because of lightning and completed the next morning.
A similar situation did not faze the Bears against Thomas last week. They led 10-0 in the first quarter before the game was halted for 59 minutes because of thunderstorms, but used a flurry late in the first quarter and early in the second to take command.
Senior running back Chase Greenlee scored on a 3-yard run to put UA ahead 17-0 late in the opening quarter. Then, on the first play of the second quarter, senior defensive back Jackson Finfrock intercepted Cardinals quarterback Danny Gordon and returned it 43 yards for a touchdown.
Junior quarterback Kyle Kaparos connected with senior running back Harrison Heath on a 31-yard touchdown pass midway through the second quarter, helping the Bears take a 31-0 lead into halftime.
Senior running back Chris Frey added a 23-yard touchdown run in the third quarter and finished with 100 yards on 10 carries, and senior running back Lewis Hughes had a game-high 171 yards rushing, including a 68-yard touchdown in the third quarter to extend the Bears' lead to 45-0, on eight carries.
UA's defense, which is led by Frey and Greenlee at linebacker, Finfrock and senior nose guard Noah Spielman, will be looking to contain a Liberty offense led by senior running back Daryian Davies (73 carries, 380 yards, 5 TDs), junior wide receiver Nick Durtschi (27 carries, 277 yards, 2 TDs and 13 catches, 235 yards, 3 TDs), senior quarterback Matt Kessler (54-for-92 passing, 635 yards, 7 TDs and 3 INTs) and senior tackle Luke Callahan, who is a University of Cincinnati recruit.
"We have some very talented players and sometimes they make plays," Liberty coach Steve Hale said earlier this season.
"We've played in some tough environments this year."

ANCRAM — Last November, I posted a story and photos of a distillery being created near this Columbia County community. Now, owner Jeffrey Baker and master distiller Dave Pickerell have announced a September 1 opening.
On that day, Hillrock Estate Distillery will be open to the public as well as introducing the launch of Hillrock Solera Aged Bourbon.
While there are other distilleries in the Hudson Valley, Hillrock is different in that it is a "field-to-glass" facility. In fact, it is believed to be the first post-Prohibition U.S. distillery to floor malt and hand craft whiskey onsite from its own estate-grown grain.
"I approached the craft spirits movement from a farming perspective, looking to create premier whiskies that reflect the local terroir, in the tradition of great estate vineyards," Baker said.
"After research, I found that there were no truly field-to-glass distillery operations in the United States hand crafting spirits with grain grown and floor malted on the estate. That's when I reached out to Dave Pickerell to realize our vision."
Pickerell, former master distiller for Maker's Mark and now a consulting master distiller for numerous craft distilleries, has been working with Timothy Welly, distiller and operations manager.
"By controlling every aspect of production from planting and harvesting heirloom grains, to traditionally floor malting our grain, to crafting whiskies in our 250-gallon copper pot still, to aging in small oak barrels and hand bottling, we are able to create premium whiskies reflecting the unique terroir of the Hillrock Estate," Pickerell said.
Hillrock Estate Distillery will open for reserved weekend tours and tastings beginning September 15. Reservations can be made via e-mail or via the website.

The hottest new baby names of 2012 are here, and they're way different from last year's trendiest names. Think Hunger Games instead of Twilight, and of course, think of the ridiculously, ridiculously famous couple who gave birth earlier this year, making way for a whole new flock of similarly-named babies.
Ready to see if your kid's, or kid-to-be's, name is on the list? Check out Nameberry's list of 2012's hottest new baby names.
More from The Stir: Jessica Simpson's Baby Name Revealed & It's Awesome
Rue. Thanks to the wildly popular Hunger Games series, Rue is one of the most popular new names on the block. Bet you thought I was gonna say "Katniss," right?
Emmett. Technically, this could be traced back to Twilight's Emmett Cullen, but, statistically-speaking, there's a hot new trend of boys' names ending in "ett."
Ivy. I mean, are you really surprised?
Weston, Wesley, and West. Weston is the name Jenna Fischer of The Office gave her son.
Adele. Another obvious one.
Grayson and Gray. I think I personally know 10 Graysons. Crazy!
Aria. Apparently, this name, according to studies, encourages children to get high marks in school. Sure it does.
Cyrus. Yes, as in Miley.
Estelle. Sweden's royal couple named their baby Estelle earlier this year. Cute!
Cato. Another Hunger Games reference.
Blythe. I love this name. And it means "happiness."

However, I don't think I could bring myself to give my child a super trendy name -- or a name that I liked from a wildly popular book series. Because, odds are, lots of other parents-to-be are thinking the same thing. And then your kid is just another Cyrus.
What do you think of these names? How did you pick your child's name?

Today is the official publication date of Charles Kesler's I Am the Change: Barack Obama and the Crisis of Liberalism. Have you ordered your copy yet? I wrote about George Will's column about the book here the other day; the great Fred Siegel reviews it in today's Wall Street Journal (and remind me some other time to do a separate post on the greatness of Fred Siegel), and you can download a podcast with Charles conducted by Richard Reinsch of the Liberty Fund now up at the LibertyLaw blog.
If you're still wavering, why not share a sample passage from the introduction to slide into the prose:
Liberalism comes across as defensive and modest, in fact downright conservative, but also inevitable. Political change can't lag behind social change for long, and what liberals do is simply mind the gap: they prescribe the minimal adjustments necessary to keep the social organism healthy and whole. The story has the advantage of de-radicalizing liberalism, and of distracting attention from its actual ideas and from their role in its real genesis and growth. It's the equivalent of a policeman saying, Move along, folks, there's nothing to see here. Keep moving. . . The same liberals who push this pragmatic account invariably speak at the same time of their movement's "ideals" or "vision," revealing that liberalism as conservative adjustment cannot be the whole truth.
To find out more of the truth about the core of modern liberalism (or "progressivism" if you like), you'll have to read the book.

Keys To Boston Attack Could Lie Half A World Away In Restive Region Of Russia
MAKHACHKALA, Russia (CNN) — The building, No. 50, that members of the Tsarnaev family call home sits on a seemingly quiet street in Makhachkala. The capital of Dagestan, a semi-autonomous region in southern Russia, borders the Caspian Sea on one side and on the other overlooks the Caucasus Mountains.
For a time in 2012, Tamerlan Tsarnaev stayed here with his parents. He shopped at stores in Makhachkala, prayed at a local mosque.
What authorities want to know is whether it was here that Tamerlan learned, or perhaps was inspired, to kill.
The 26-year-old can't give an answer: He was killed after a shootout with U.S. authorities in Watertown, Massachusetts — 5,500 miles from Makhachkala — early Friday.
Days earlier, authorities say, he and his 19-year-old brother, Dzhokhar — who is in a Boston hospital — blew up two bombs at the finish line of the Boston Marathon. Three people died and scores were wounded in that attack.
FBI agents spent Wednesday in the Dagestani capital talking with Tamerlan and Dzhokhar's parents, according to an official in U.S. President Barack Obama's administration. The U.S. investigators were joined by members of Russia's Federal Security Service, human rights activist Kheda Saratova said.
That "conversation" ended Wednesday evening, the suspects' mother, Zubeidat Tsarnaev, told Saratova.
It's unclear what came of the parents' talk with U.S. and Russian authorities, though both parents had publicly insisted that their sons are innocent. But information has come out suggesting how Tamerlan Tsarnaev might have been influenced by his trip half a world from his Cambridge, Massachusetts, home.
While Dagestan may be picturesque in many respects, it's also been home to violence and civil unrest. That includes gun and bomb attacks targeting security services, including a suicide bombing at a police checkpoint that left 12 dead and dozens wounded while Tsarnaev was believed to be here.
After returning from his months-long visit to Russia, Tsarnaev created a YouTube channel that included two videos (since deleted) under a category labeled "Terrorists."
Analysis by CNN and the SITE Intelligence Group has uncovered a screen grab from one of those videos featuring members of Imarat Kavkaz, a potent militant Islamist group in the north Caucasus, which includes Chechnya and Dagestan.
Tsarnaev also appears to have posted and removed a video of a militant named Abu Dujan, a jihadist leader who was later killed by Russian troops.
Did Tsarnaev interact with Abu Dujan during his time in southern Russia? Authorities haven't publicly said anything on that point, either way.
Videos linked to his group show how to prepare homemade explosives from almost anywhere.
Askhabali Saurbekov, the police chief in the Dagestani town of Kizilyurt, said Abu Dujan met with foreigners before his death. This group included men, like Tsarnaev, who were of Chechen origin.
"They met to exchange their bandit experience," Saurbekov said.
CNN's Nic Robertson and Nick Paton Walsh reported from Makhachkala; Greg Botelho wrote this story from Atlanta.

Most deployed versions of Apache are potentially exploitable, as mod_rewrite has been found to be vulnerable to a stack smashing attack. It is somewhat muted by the fact that only certain rules cause the problem. The vulnerability is caused by an off-by-one error — the most common programming error known to man. Many SEOs use mod_rewrite, but not all will be affected; I checked my rules, and I am not exploitable (otherwise I wouldn't post this), but I'm upgrading anything I have anyway. This affects all branches of Apache — 1.3 to 2.2. The original report from McAfee is here.

Bureaucrats are pushing a plan to raise taxes and increase spending on public schools. The districts spent $9.4 billion last year. Apparently $13,600 per student isn't enough.
The plan will raise taxes across the state. Families and small business owners will be hardest hit. First, local taxes for public school operations would be eliminated and replaced with a new statewide property tax. Then the districts would get the chance to go back and (re)introduce "new" local taxes to supplement the state money.

Gailey told Buffalo's WGR-Radio on Monday that Jackson was not feeling well on the flight home following a 37-31 loss at New England. Gailey wouldn't rule out Jackson from playing, but noted there's a chance he won't because the game's only days away.
A person familiar with the injury calls it "unlikely" that Jackson will play. The person spoke on the condition of anonymity because Gailey would only say that Jackson "might not be ready."
Jackson was hurt in the final minute after taking a blow to head while being tackled by linebacker Brandon Spikes.
UPDATE: Gailey confirmed Monday that after undergoing concussion evaluations, Jackson will sit out Thursday's game with a concussion.
The Associated Press contributed to this report.

Harvard Professor Mansfield Lectures on Manlinessby Patrick McAlister '10 • November 3, 2006 Share:
"Today we are in a process of constructing a gender neutral society."
With that bold unambiguous statement, Dr. Harvey C. Mansfield, a noted professor of government at Harvard University and self-avowed conservative, began his talk on his most recent book Manliness.
Mansfield's visit and the subsequent reception were sponsored by Wabash's conservative journal, The Wabash Commentary.
Mansfield argues that manliness is both good and bad. He asserts that society should attempt to embrace the good that can be found in manliness. He cites people such as Harry S. Truman, Humphrey Bogart's Rick in Casablanca, and the servicemen of New York City on September 11, 2001 as manly in a positive light.
In his lecture, Mansfield used a personal story to articulate this gender neutral society is apparently imposing. Mansfield told the story of how he characterized a former professor at Harvard as "manly" when commenting about him to a Harvard alumni magazine. "There was a silence at the other end of the line," Mansfield said, "and finally the female voice said 'could you think of another word?' "
He does argue women embody manly characteristics and become professionally successful for it. On the dust cover of his book, Mansfield said former British Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher not only embodied manly characteristics, but he considered her "the mightiest woman of our time."
Despite this specific citation of professional success, Mansfield's views of women do not reflect the normal construct of the contemporary 'gender neutral society.' "Marriage is the social construction of the natural inclinations of the two sexes," he said.
This sentiment did not resonate with all of the attendees of the lecture. "I felt completely freaked out," said Cynthia Francica, a foreign language intern. "He had no support for what he was saying. He was generalizing about women and consequently about me."
"I think Mr. Mansfield means well and I am glad he came to Wabash," said Jeremy Burton '08. "Obviously he is from a different generation, and he's trying to address questions of our generation."
"We are the 'we generation,'" Burton said, "and I think Mr. Mansfield is from the 'me generation'."
The Commentary will be sponsoring a lecture Nov. 29 from Greg Lukianoff, the president of Foundation for Individual Rights in Education.

Wyoming Snowpack Rises To 88% Of Average
CHEYENNE, Wyo. (AP) — Wyoming's snowpack is improving but levels are still below last year.
The Natural Resources Conservation Service in Casper said Tuesday that the average snowpack across the state is 88 percent of average, up from 80 percent a week ago. Wyoming now has two basins with above average readings — the Bighorn and the Powder-Tongue basin.
Last year at this time, the statewide average was 120 percent.
Wyoming saw record snowpack levels last year. Many rivers and creeks across the state had record or near record flows during spring and early summer runoff.
Early season averages go up and down frequently and snowpack measurements don't really become meaningful until the end of January.

Creative Thinkers Fit Wellby Richard Paige • October 10, 2013 Share:
"Nothing beats the real world strategy of doing."
Those were the key words from advertising executive Nick Prihoda '99 during his presentation to students Monday evening in Baxter Hall, the third lecture in the series "The Liberal Arts at Work: Interesting People Talking About Interesting Careers."
The native of Kalamazoo, Mich., who majored in history with a minor in international studies, was always involved in something on campus, whether it be his fraternity, lacrosse, a semester abroad in Ecuador, or a regular column in The Bachelor, and that experience would serve him well down the road.
"At Wabash, I was involved in a ton of different things and that spontaneity, that variety, was just something I enjoyed doing," he recalled.
Following graduation, he worked for six years with the national office of Delta Tau Delta fraternity as the director of growth, establishing new chapters across the country.
But it was a chance conversation with a friend of a friend at a convention in San Antonio that changed Prihoda's career course and put him on a path to advertising. One that eventually landed him a spot with the Leo Burnett Agency in Chicago.
"When he brought up what the industry was and branding and positioning and those things, that's what I wanted to do," Prihoda said. "That's where the right momentum, passion and creativity was that I thought I could thrive in. That was the moment where advertising came up for me."
In an effort from the networking 101 playbook, Prihoda had the moxie to parlay that conversation to another, which led to further correspondence and phone calls with people at the agency. After a series of interviews he landed an entry level position in corporate operations at one of the world's leading advertising firms with no advertising experience whatsoever. A year later he moved over to account management.
"It's a link that makes no sense," he said. "But you never know who you are going to meet, and when you are going to meet them. You can't discount confidence either. It goes a long way in any industry. Anything I've done, I've always approached it as I'm here, I'm loving it and I'm going to make it the best I possibly can. I believe that good things happen to people who work hard."
After seven years at Leo Burnett working on accounts such as Allstate and Nintendo, Prihoda relocated to Indianapolis last December and joined Young & Laramore as an account director, handling clients like Brizo, Upland Brewing, Building Tomorrow, and Goodwill of Central Indiana.
Through it all, Prihoda hasn't lost the confidence gained from his experiences or the strength of his well-rounded education.
"I always knew the liberal arts education and my Wabash experience would set the tone for what I do today," Prihoda concluded. "It's great to see the interest in the industry for liberal arts majors, because I think we make some of the best candidates. We're always looking for creative thinkers who can think critically and solve any problem, not just the one we supposedly have been trained to solve."
