There are other white specks which they have not been able to explain. I have mildly elevated A.C.E. level (61). Spinal tap and cervical MRI were normal for someone my age (65).

Hi, The report of your mother-in-law's
is not good. Basically it shows multiple metastases (
spread). The original site where this cancer began is not clear from this scan. Common tumors that spread to brain include breast and lung. She needs to get symptomatic treatment for brain metastases, including steroids and radiation therapy. She also needs additional investigations to identify the primary cancer and plan treatment accordingly. All the best, and God Bless!

We thought he had a small stroke and rushed him to the hospital only to find tumors instead. There is also water on the brain and swelling. I know it is not operable and we know the chemo and radiation was only to prolong his life and relieve symptoms.

Even though each ROW command creates just one row of data, the data values are positioned in the row so that they will line up with the values in other rows of the report. Therefore, we refer to the space occupied by each data value as a column.
The ROW command places the first expression in the first report column, the second expression in the second column, and so on.
You can show any value in any column of a row, but the first column usually contains labels and the remaining columns usually contain data. Therefore, the first column is called the labels column. The remaining columns are called data columns.
The default width of the labels column is controlled by the LCOLWIDTH option, which has a default value of 14 characters. The default width of data columns is controlled by the COLWIDTH option, which has a default value of 10 characters.
By default, text and date values in a column are left-justified, and numeric and Boolean values are right-justified. One space is left between columns.
A default row has the format shown in the next figure.
You can use the SKIP keyword in place of an expression to leave a column blank. The command

produces a blank column before the column of UNITS data.

Schilling is the man who protects Hillary's online self from the public's hatred. He estimates that he spends up to 15 hours per week editing Wikipedia under the name "Wasted Time R"–much of it, these days, standing watch over Hillary's page. Hardly a news event or argument over her situation goes by without Wasted Time R's input: He edited her page 77 times in the last month, mostly pruning away changes he viewed as inappropriate, such as a rant about Geraldine Ferraro or a stealthy effort to diminish Hillary's role in improving the State Children's Health Insurance Program. The fact that Schilling is married to a librarian who, he laments, "never recommends anybody use Wikipedia" (no one, no one, hates Wikipedia as much as librarians) does not diminish his vigilance. "You constantly have to police [the page]," he says, recalling the way Rudy Giuliani's Wikipedia article declined in quality after its protectors lost interest. "Otherwise, it diverts into a state of nature."
This is a really interesting article on how the political campaigns are being forced to monitor Wikipedia minute-by-minute. In the final analysis Wikipedians will say the system is working as it should but I say that there is something flawed about a system that fails to accommodate high stakes issues with an effective throttle to ensure that misinformation isn't leaking out.
Jimmy Wales recently made an interesting comment about how Wikipedia is a double edged sword that "works because everything we do is extensively debated but the other side of that is in order for us to do anything everyone has to agree."
We're approaching a point where Wikipedia is as much a utility service as an independent foundation/website. The consequence of that is that the group of insiders that run Wikipedia simply have to accept that they alone don't always have the right solutions and inaction is the absence of agreement simply isn't sustainable.

Activision's Call of Duty™ Endowment Announces 7 Winners Of 'Seal of Distinction' Award
Organization Also Reveals New Data from CEB Showing Higher 'Discretionary Effort' and Retention Rates for Veterans
Nov 07, 2013, 13:00 ET from Call of Duty Endowment
WASHINGTON, Nov. 7, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- The Call of Duty Endowment today announced seven winners of the "Seal of Distinction" award at a press conference held at the National Press Club in Washington, D.C. In addition, the Endowment shared compelling data from leading member-based advisory company CEB that shows a quantifiable advantage to hiring veterans, including a 4 percent performance advantage and lower turnover rates for veteran hires compared to non-veterans.
The Call of Duty Endowment is a private nonprofit foundation that supports groups placing former service members into rewarding careers while raising awareness of the value veterans bring to the civilian workplace. The Seal of Distinction award was created in 2013 to highlight nonprofit organizations that have proven to be the most effective and efficient at placing veterans into high quality careers by providing them with a $30,000 unrestricted grant and the potential for larger restricted grants from the Endowment.
Dan Goldenberg, Executive Director of the Call of Duty Endowment, said, "Despite recent data showing that veterans have unique skill sets and offer potential employers a competitive advantage, the reality is that our youngest veterans continue to face a much higher unemployment rate than their non-veteran peers. We are proud to be recognizing those organizations best-equipped at helping place these veterans in jobs, while shining a bright light on the benefits of hiring veterans."
All awardees were vetted by the Call of Duty Endowment and independently evaluated in a pro bono project by Deloitte.
"We are thrilled to announce that seven organizations have met the standards of the Seal of Distinction, as established by the Call of Duty Endowment," said Mark Goulart, principal, Deloitte Consulting LLP and lead client service partner for Veterans Affairs. "We are committed to supporting our nation's heroes and their transition to civilian life, and we are pleased to join the Call of Duty Endowment in this effort to identify the organizations that are most effectively and efficiently assisting our nation's veterans with job placement."
Broken into two parts – a 30-minute press conference headlined by former National Security Advisor General James Jones and an hour-long "leading practices" symposium featuring the inaugural Seal winners and a hiring discussion moderated by CEB – the event documented the advantages of hiring veterans and innovative solutions from the best NGOs for placing veterans into high quality careers.
"Talent acquisition and talent management are top priorities for executives we speak with," said Brian Kropp, managing director, CEB. "Our research shows that veterans, on average, perform at higher levels and are more loyal, long-term employees. With more than 130,000 military personnel entering the workforce in 2014, the support leading NGOs and other military support channels provide is essential in helping to ensure service men and women have the resources they need to find high quality jobs, and in helping leading organizations address skill gaps and other hiring concerns."
Footage of the press conference, as well as information on the specific winners, the CEB study, photos, statistics, and videos, can be found online by visiting: http://sealofdistinction.isebox.net/seal2013.
About the Call of Duty Endowment:
The Call of Duty Endowment is a non-profit, public benefit corporation conceived by Bobby Kotick, CEO of Activision Blizzard.

Venezuela to create fingerprinting system to limit food smuggling
External Content
The following content is sourced from external partners. We cannot guarantee that it is suitable for the visually or hearing impaired.
CARACAS (Reuters) - Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro ordered the creation of a fingerprinting system in stores that sell food to limit smuggling of subsidized staple products to neighbouring countries.
The system, announced late on Wednesday, is meant to ease chronic shortages of consumer products ranging from cooking oil to toilet paper by preventing shoppers from buying large quantities of the same goods.
"(We will) create a biometric system ... in all distribution and retail systems, public and private," Maduro said during a televised broadcast in which he also created several anti-contraband commissions.
He did not say if the system would be set up in the entire country or only in border states.
Price controls and heavy subsidies allow Venezuelans to buy groceries, drive them across the border to Colombia, and resell them for a handsome profit. They have also created black markets within Venezuela in which informal vendors resell scarce products at a steep markup.
The measure extends a previous system, created earlier this year, to limit purchases at state-run supermarkets through fingerprint machines and a "Secure Food Supply" shoppers' card, decried by critics as a Cuban-style rationing policy.
Venezuela last week announced it was closing the border with Colombia to prevent smuggling of food and gasoline. The country's enormous fuel subsidy lets drivers buy more than 200 gallons of gasoline for the equivalent of one U.S. dollar.
Maduro says product shortages, which create long lines and at times leave store shelves bare, are driven by smuggling that diverts at least 40 percent of food and medicine to other countries.
Critics insist the shortages are a sign that the socialist policies created by the late Hugo Chavez are failing.

Authors Thoughts
You don't need to get fancy with bouillabaisse. This version of the French fisherman's stew liberates you from having to buy up the entire fish counter—just choose any two or three of the fish and shellfish options listed below.
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 cloves garlic, peeled and smashed
- 1 large onion, peeled and sliced
- 1 small fennel bulb, thinly sliced
- 1 large pinch saffron, soaked in 2 tablespoons orange juice for 10 minutes (optional)
- 1 strip orange zest
- 1 (14-ounce) can whole peeled tomatoes, in juice
- 6 cups seafood stock or clam juice
- Some or all of the following seafood (ask your fish seller for enough to serve 4 to 6 people): halibut, cod, tilapia, or snapper (in large chunks); shell-on large shrimp or lump crabmeat; clams or mussels
- 1 bunch Italian parsley, chopped
- 1/8 teaspoon crumbled saffron threads
- 1/4 teaspoon hot water
- 1 cup mayonnaise
- 1/4 cup chopped roasted red peppers
- 1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil
- 1/2 teaspoon fresh lemon juice
- 2 teaspoons finely chopped garlic
- 1/2 teaspoon cayenne
- Heat the olive oil in a large, heavy pot over medium-high heat. Add the garlic, onion, and fennel and sauté until just brown, 5 to 10 minutes. Add the saffron (if using), orange zest, tomatoes, and stock or clam juice. Bring to a boil and cook until the vegetables are tender and the liquid is reduced by half, about 20 minutes.
- Reduce heat to medium and add the fish (but not shellfish). Cook for about 2 minutes. Add any clams, mussels, and shrimp. Simmer until the shells just begin to open, about 4 minutes more. Add any crabmeat. Cook until all shells have opened, the shrimp is pink and curled, and the fish flakes easily, about 2 minutes.
- Serve from the pot, sprinkled with the parsley and topped with crusty bread and a dollop of rouille.
For the RouilleRich, aromatic rouille is a classic mayonnaise-based spread for the croutons that often accompany French fish soups;. This one is especially delicious. Sprinkle saffron over hot water in a small cup and let stand 1 minute. Blend saffron mixture with remaining ingredients and 1/4 teaspoon salt in a blender until smooth.

Parade of Shoes: Bill Fanning
LIVE: The Jeff Coffin Mu'tet @ the Massry Center, 3/20/11
Jeff Coffin's Mu'tet isn't your average jazz quintet. In fact, for those who have a fixed idea of what "jazz" is, Coffin and his bandmates don't really play jazz in any traditional sense. What they play is certainly in the lineage of jazz music's history, but it's not derived from the '50s bop of Charlie Parker or the '60's experimentation of John Coltrane.
The music that saxman Coffin and his Mu'tet offered up in their recent Nippertown debut owed a little to '70s-era Miles Davis and a lot to the '80s funked up and rocking jazz of the Brecker Brothers' "Heavy Metal Be Bop" – sans the screaming electric guitars. And considering Coffin's stint with Bela Fleck's Flecktones, it's no surprise that there was also a healthy dose of the Grateful Dead's ventures into space-rock, ala "Infrared Roses" with saxophonist Branford Marsalis on board.

UNITED NATIONS, N. Y. (Nov. 26)
Secretary General Dag Hammarskjold will undoubtedly visit Israel on his new peace mission to the Middle East for which he will depart Friday. The most urgent places for him, however, were understood to be Amman, capital of Jordan, and Cairo.
Mr. Hammarskjold will make another effort on this trip, it was reported, to shore up the UN armistice arrangements between Israel on the one hand and Jordan, Syria, Lebanon and Egypt on the other.
(In Washington, State Department spokesman Lincoln White said today the United States Government had no comment to make on the new Jordan-Israel crisis highlighted by the pending flight of United Nations Secretary General Dag Hammarskjold to the scene)

LONDON (Sep. 13)
An incident of vandalism at an East End synagogue yesterday was dismissed as "a minor act of hooliganism" by a spokesman for the Federation of Synagogues today. The spokesman told the Jewish Telegraphic Agency that it was "probably the act of a drunk who tossed a stone through a window."
The broken window pane was discovered at the Great Synagogue on Fieldgate Street in Stepney several hours after memorial services were conducted for the 11 Israeli Olympic athletes slain in Munich. The spokesman indicated, however, that there was no apparent link between the vandalism and the services. "The police as well as ourselves, assume that it was what is known as a minor act of hooliganism," he said.

Why would you want to do that ? Your situation sounds really bad if you are considering to suicide by using any form of magic. And lets not forget that when you cast a death spell on someone he/she does not just drop dead. Perhaps you do not know how all of it works.
Secondly, I really think that you need help. Please see a doctor / psychologist so you would be able to improve your psychological condition. Wanting to suicide is a very hard thing which requires psychological help, not to talk about how dangerous it is. Have you thought about how many things you could miss by losing your life? I really think that you need all of the best help that can be offered by psychologists and other therapists, wanting to suicide by using magic or any form of hurting yourself is a terrible thing that you must overcome and get all of the help you can !
Zrozex, Perhaps you should read the thread again.
"can you cast a death spell on yourself
to cuse your own death"
Nobody saw the word "cure" here, I am sure that it supposed to be "cause" but as you said English might not be the thread opener's first language so he typed the word "cause" wrongly.
Please make sure that you are read words properly to avoid misunderstanding for the future...

Think about what career is best suited for you, and where you want to study. Request more information now.
Find information about Miami Dade College graduate students, and registering for discussion sections and departmental electives. As a student, your first stop should be the registrar's office, where you can pick up a free copy of both the academic calendar and course catalog, in order to find available credit classes that you may be interested in taking. In-person class registration has largely been replaced with online sign-up, and many schools offer mobile apps that streamline the course registration process. Finally, check with your major department for assistance with prerequisites, tuition payment deadlines, and Miami Dade College student life information. Please use the form above to request admissions info for Miami Dade College.
Research demonstrates that college freshman taking a full courseload go on to complete their degrees at a much higher rate than those students who study part-time. When choosing a major, plan ahead and be sure that you are picking courses that will meet transfer requirements of other colleges and universities later on. Further, by choosing your major early, you may be able to take some required core classes in a community college, saving both time and tuition fees.
Look at all the schools in your state first, as in-state tuition may be lower for state residents. The course catalog will outline which classes are required for a particular major, and what minimum GPA you'll need to maintain your class standing. Please contact the academic advising staff at the school you are interested in applying to about their specific course registration guidelines. Beyond consideration for Miami Dade College graduate students, you may think about Middlesex School GED classes for complementary electives to your primary course of study.

You're £30.00 away from FREE delivery
(UK Mainland)
You have no items in your shopping cart.
At Handy Hippo, we have hand selected hundreds of art & craft supplies for kids, keeping in mind quality, safety and affordability. Our Kids Craft includes hundreds of basic Craft Supplies, along with supplies for Drawing and Colouring, Painting, Modelling, Outdoor Activities and more.
Have you ever seen a child using both their hands to swirl finger paint over a sheet of paper? Or watch as a child creates bountiful spirals with crayons? Then you have seen the expression on these children's faces as they explore art in the process!
Instinctively, most of us know the importance of exposing our children to arts & crafts, as it relates to a child's development. But let's go beyond the factual information. When children create arts & crafts projects, it expands their ability to connect with the environment around them, their ability to perceive, remember, adapt, as well as provide new skill sets in self-expression, communication, social and especially with their fine motor skills.
So for example, with the development of a child's fine motor skills, he or she can easily turn the page of a book, add written words to paper, hold a paintbrush, draw with a crayon or even squeeze glue from a bottle.
Let's not forget that children emulate their parent's behaviors. So if you are a crafter, albeit card making, scrapbooking, knitting, sewing or something else, share your hobby with a child(ren). This will help a youngster find their own crafting interests. Sharing your hobbies are also great opportunities for children to develop important life skills, which he or she can carry into their adult life.
Whether or not creativity comes easy to a child, research has proven arts & crafts does help to develop the right side of the brain. Fundamentally, art is just fun with no purpose or reason, just creating, getting messy, and the joyful expression of being a KID!

Dramatic shifts in the interplay between brands and their target customers have driven some interesting methods of pushing a brand's message into the world. As customers abandon old channels of media consumption, savvy marketers must fight to gain brand exposure wherever there is even a fleeting chance of potential exposure. Building off Guerilla Marketing techniques, Guerilla Branding seeks to imbue the basic landscape around us with branded messages. Generic items of infrastructure from benches to mass-transit become opportunities to provide a brief but intimate palette for branding. This technique will be most effective when the implementation is clever, unexpected, and humorous. Simply slapping a logo sticker on the back of a park bench is more Gorilla than Guerilla. Also: nothing will turn potential customers more quickly than a heavy-handed approach that interferes with their daily routine, creates stress, or impedes traffic.
5 Comments to "GUERILLA BRANDING"
I would be very embarassed if I had branding marks on my legs. whats next a hot branding iron like cattle? But, great site Awol! Theres nothing like this out there.
Create looking site and absorbing content, worthwhile and genuine. One I'll definitely bookmark.
@AWOLtrends, I'm sending this site out to every product designer I know. You do a great job of concisely capturing the trends we are influenced by and need to talk about every day.

Get out that sweet tooth Xperia owners! Sony plans to release its Android 4.1 Jelly Bean to owners of the Xperia T and Xperia V in a rolling update between and now late March, meaning you too will have the glory of Google Now and other new Jelly Bean features in no time.
Sony's Xperia series has gotten a lot of attention in recent months as the iconic smartphone behind James Bond, but the coming Android 4.1 Jelly Bean update is coming for all users of the 2012 portfolio of devices, not just the suave spy himself. A blog post by Sony announced the coming updates and also noted that the 2011 Xperia series will have to stick with Ice Cream Sandwich. If you do have a 2011 series Xperia you can always check the development world for an unofficial update, but either way Jelly Bean brings plenty of new features to the table including Google Now, a faster interface, and bragging rights among your friends.
Does anyone else think James Bond will opt for the update? He seems to be the kind of person who likes the latest and greatest gadget upgrades. Like Bond, you can grab the update and all it has to offer sometime between now and late March, when Sony plans to finish rolling out the update to customers. Unlike Bond, you probably won't have ladies swooning all over you because of it.

SATURDAY SIX: Six Reasons We LOVE the Magic Kingdom
This week's SATURDAY SIX looks at Reasons We LOVE the Magic Kingdom. As you know, this July we're celebrating Walt Disney World here on the SATURDAY SIX. At the beginning of the month we began our journey at Animal Kingdom, which now takes on new life at night. We then made our way over to Hollywood Studios, a park currently going through some growing pains but still has some of the best experiences in all of WDW. Last week? The one and only EPCOT, a theme park like no other across the globe. Today we are going to finish up by heading into the park which was the centerpiece of Walt Disney's "Florida Project," the Magic Kingdom.
There are not enough superlatives for Disneyland out in California, but with Florida came the "blessing of size" which allowed Walt (and the Disney company) to fix problems they would never be able to in Anaheim. For example, driving to Disneyland is much like driving to the Universal Orlando Resort in Florida, in that you can see the park from the road. With the Magic Kingdom, Disney created a theme park where the very entrance to the park is an experience, slowly revealing itself to guests in a truly magical way. Opening in 1971, the Magic Kingdom quickly became the most popular theme park in the world, and retains that title to this very day. What makes it so great? Well, today we're gonna look at six of our favorite things inside this truly special park. So, sit back, relax in one of the rocking chairs on Tom Sawyer Island, and let's start our countdown with…
# 6 – Festival of Fantasy
Even with heated competition from Universal and many other parks from around the world, there are still areas which Disney parks are completely untouchable. One of those areas is parades, and one of the best parades at any Disney park is the Magic Kingdom's Festival of Fantasy. With elaborate floats, stunning costumes, an original score, and filled with many of our favorite Disney characters, this is a parade worth waiting for. The backstory of the parade is that each of the units were built by the citizens of Fantasyland. It's fascinating just looking at all the details on each float and how they seem to be designed from an era long ago. The music has that true Disney Difference, with Brave and Maleficent sections being standouts, and the amount of characters involved in the parade is staggering. From Anna and Elsa to Mickey and Minnie and almost everyone in-between, Festival of Fantasy has something for everyone.

SATURDAY SIX: Top Six Meet and Greets at the Magic Kingdom
This week's SATURDAY SIX takes a look at the Top Six Meet and Greets at the Magic Kingdom. Let's face it, meet and greets have become an important part of the vacation experience for many guests. Gone are the days when you could randomly bump into characters roaming the parks as the meet and greets of today have become attractions themselves, with some lines equaling even the best rides and shows in the parks. With elaborate sets, must-do character dining, and even special events based around the opportunity to meet characters, nobody does meet and greets better than Walt Disney World. Today we are going to look at the very best meet and greets at the Magic Kingdom, along with a little advice from an expert on meeting characters, Kenny the Pirate. The rankings are based on several factors including; theming of the meet and greet area, guest interaction with the characters, and a pinch of Je ne sais quoi (the indefinable magic that some meet and greets deliver which stays with you and your family for years, if not a lifetime.) Remember that clicking on any picture will bring it up in full size, and with that out of the way let's start with…
# 6 – The Little Mermaid (Ariel's Grotto)
Disney hit a home run with New Fantasyland delivering a great coaster with the Seven Dwarfs Mine Train, a wonderful dark ride with Under the Sea ~ Journey of the Little Mermaid, and the first "E-Ticket" dining experience with Be Our Guest Restaurant. They also over-delivered in the area of meet and greets with the hilarious Gaston (who we just may see later in the list,) Enchanted Tales with Belle (including the stunning Lumiere animatronic and the how did they do that Magic Mirror,) and Ariel's Grotto.
The Grotto is located right next to the Mermaid attraction and personifies what Disney can bring to the table. Walking into the area guests will receive the same wow factor they got when seeing the elaborate queue of Under the Sea or the impressive Ursula figure during the ride. This is a setting befit of a Disney princess.Guests are asked to sit next to Ariel on her clam shell bench, and this provides an intimate experience you just don't get at many meet and greets. Like her movie counterpart, this Ariel will comment on unusual items guests may have that wouldn't be found in the water, along with having age appropriate conversations with each and every guest. This is your only opportunity to meet Ariel outside of a dining package, and be sure to ask how her friends Flounder and Sebastian are doing!

SATURDAY SIX: Six Things We Wish Theme Park Fans Would Stop Complaining About
This week's SATURDAY SIX looks at Six Things We Wish Theme Park Fans Would Stop Complaining About. It's hard to believe that in a land full of fantastical theme parks, luxurious hotels, and wonderful memories filled with pixie dust that people could have anything to complain about. But they do. In fact, after a thorough investigation the Saturday Six staff has compiled a list of 548,321 complaints, and that's just in the Florida parks. Today we're going to look at the six of most prevalent complaints and say "STAHP!"
# 6 – "They are building too many Starbucks"
Out of nowhere, Starbucks has seemed to have taken over the theme park world in Florida. The first step in theme park world domination for the coffee brand? The beloved Main Street Bakery at the Magic Kingdom. Starbucks then moved over to Epcot and replaced the Fountain View Cafe, complete with a hidden Communicore logo to appease the hardcore fans. Two more Starbucks are coming to Downtown Disney, and it is rumored that locations will be also be opening up at Disney's Hollywood Studios and Animal Kingdom, sooner rather than later. Not to be outdone, the Starbucks location over at Universal's CityWalk is moving from its second floor No-Man's-Land location down onto the ground level, and Island of Adventure's Arctic Express has been converted into a Starbucks.
What's going here? The answer is simple. People love Starbucks. Period. The Starbucks brand is strong enough that it can charge a premium price for a drink you can get almost anywhere else cheaper, and have people lining up for it. While the Main Street Bakery certainly wasn't hurting for business before, it's easy to see how successful the ones at Downtown Disney and Universal will be compared to what they are replacing. The new Starbucks locations are in prime real estate and will be all but printing money.
If these Starbucks locations were McDonald's, you could make a case that there are better restaurants all over either property. If the locations were Dunkin' Donuts you could make a case that there are better bakeries around. But no one at Disney or Universal is doing a better job than Starbucks at making good coffee and, as far as we know, the world didn't end when the first Grande Latte was served on Main Street.

Who's Montgomery County's most wanted criminal?
Montgomery County police are looking for a different kind of criminal than they're usually searching for, namely a furry one. Officers issued a wanted poster for Punxsutawney Phil, the famous Pennsylvania groundhog who is suposed to predict when winter will end. The charge: fraud. "This February, Mr. Phil said we would have an early spring," the release reads. "We're still waiting..." He was last seen in the Keystone State and he may or may not be hiding in a hole. It's not clear if extradition is possible.
What do more people have access to: toilets or cell phones?
If you guessed the latter, you'd be correct. A new United Nations study found that more people around the world have access to a cell phone than to a working toilet. Of the world's 7 billion people, 6 billion have access to phones. Only about 4.5 billion have access to toilets. India alone is responsible for 60 percent of the world's population that don't have working toilets -- about 626 million people. Compare that to the 1 billion cell phones in India. In response, the United Nations is launching an effort to halve the number of those without access to toilets by the end of 2015.
How did a Texas woman burn down her house?
A Texas woman doing yard work accidentally burned down her house after she tried to burn a snake to death with gasoline. A Bowie County woman in Northeast Texas saw the reptile roaming in her yard and was so frightened by it, she threw gasoline on it and set it on fire. When the snake slithered into a brush pile in an attempt to escape the flames by it set the house on fire. The entire house was destroyed, along with part of her neighbor's house, Authorities in Texas are considering charging the woman with a crime.

PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, the accompanying reference material will be available in your My Library section along with the audio.

"Really? Impossible to take seriously"
I'm sending back this book and asking for a refund because it is dreadful. If you know absolutely nothing about coaching then do yourself a favour and find another book. And if you know if know anything at all about coaching then you probably already know more than the author of this book. To add insult to injury the tone is patronising.
"Shallow but a few useful tips"
Its too basic, starting assuming no understanding of employee engagement etc. Some of it talks about HR 101 rather than coaching.
I'm listening to Lyn's book of 7 secrets of coaching success.
Lyn is not the best narrator, and that's OK as I wouldn't expect authors be the best on vocals. Its quite a different profession. I would recommend Lyn arrange for someone with good narrating reviews (female) to do the narration. If Lyn you still wish to narrate, please just slow down and pause momentarily between ideas, paragraphs and when emphasising something. That alone will really enhance the interest of the reader and lead them more at crucial times.
Too much HR 101 and engagement stuff at the beginning. I was looking for more on the process of coaching, not environmental factors. The section on 7 ways to sabotage oneself was a really good chapter. I found it useful and made my $5 purchase worthwhile. If more of the book had similar deep and substantive process, this book would have been rated highly. Clearly Lyn can turn it on when she wants, so hopefully future books I will read of Lyn's will do this.
I'm amazed the only other reviewer of this book has given 5 stars not only to this, but to 5 other books of Lyn which constitutes 60% of all their reviews. Clearly my learning style is very different to this amazing reviewer.
"Excellent Information!"
I can't believe that in just a few hours I felt confident I could do Corporate and Business Coaching and Consulting!
The best part about the book was the chapter on "How to Get Your Foot In the Door." It gave me a step-by-step method of getting businesses to hire me.
I now know what corporations and businesses want and need in a coach/consultant and I feel ready to be of service.
This book was exactly what I needed to get started on my goal of business consulting. The author explains it in an easy-to-follow way, and is actually a great role model on how to coach people in business.

Close your eyes, wait don't do that or you won't be able to read this. Read this, then close your eyes and imagine, if you will, grilled ciabatta with basil mayo layered with warm, grilled chicken breast, asiago cheese, roasted red peppers (see, told you you'd need these), arugula and red onion. Do you see it in your mind's eye? Can you smell it? Taste it?
For some reason I NEEDED this sandwich. I woke up with it in my head, had all of the ingredients on hand, and my brain was just repeating over and over "grilled chicken sandwich", "asiago", "roasted red peppers", "ciabaaaataaaaaa"…. Which really isn't a normal thing for it to repeat, normally it's more along the lines of, "CHOCOLATE CAKE", "PEANUT BUTTERRRRR".
My brain (and stomach) were being held hostage, so I had no choice but to make it happen, and it was every bit as delicious as I imagined.
Ok, now wipe the puddle of drool off of your desk and go get the ingredients and make this sandwich. Now.
Oh, and you can serve it with some roasted red pepper soup and asiago croutons. For this meal, I just doctored some Trader Joe's Roasted Red Pepper & Tomato Soup with a little chicken stock, asiago, basil, and croutons. It was a match made in heaven.
I'm not really one to brag, but this meal just really hit the spot for me. Warm, comforting, homey, and filling…. just wow.
As much as I loved this sandwich, I can't end this post without mentioning how much I love my new light box (thanks BF!). This thing is amazing. Of course, natural light reigns supreme for photos, but I am in a serious state of shock when I can take photos like the ones here on a day like this:
Gross, right? Without this light box I would have been screwed. Royally screwed. These photos wouldn't have even been an option. My only wish is that it had come with more backdrops, but no biggie. I can easily fashion my own backdrops with a little cloth and some velcro. I just need the time… and motivation.
*Update – I've been using leftover ingredients from this sandwich to make wraps for lunch during the week …. still delicious 🙂
Asiago Chicken Sandwich – serves 2 (but can easily serve more)
For sandwich:
- 1 (½ lb) chicken breast, cooked and sliced
- 1 red bell pepper, roasted
- ½ small red onion, sliced
- 4 slices asiago cheese
- handful arugula
- 1 small loaf ciabatta, sliced in half
- basil mayo (recipe follows)
For mayo:
- ¼ cup mayo
- bunch of basil, minced
- 1-2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 Tbsp olive oil
- salt and pepper to taste
1. Make your basil mayo by combining the ingredients in a small bowl or food processor. Keep refrigerated until ready to serve.
2. Roast your red pepper(s) if you haven't already, peel off the skin, cut to desired size and set aside until ready to use.
3. Cook your chicken breast as desired. I marinated mine in some stock, salt, pepper, olive oil, garlic, and thyme. Then grilled it over high heat for 6 minutes each side, then rest tented with foil for ten minutes. Set aside.
(You can do everything up to here a day ahead of time, and save grilling the bread for last. Or, don't even grill the bread and have a tasty cold sandwich instead 🙂 )
4. While the chicken is resting, spread basil mayo on your ciabatta (you won't all of the mayo). Grill over medium high to high heat until toasted (alternatively, you can toast it in a nonstick skillet, or under the broiler).
5. Assemble sandwiches however you like (some people like the toppings on the bottom, some like them on top, whatever you do, just get them in there)

Country Ace Hardware owner and VP Amy Kaplanis, a retailer in Granby, Colorado, and member of Ace's board of directors, appeared in Diversity Journal's 13th Women Worth Watching report.
The article in Diversity Journal describes her career path from a successful consulting career in Corporate America to a fulfilling role in the family business.
Ace Hardware has announced the appointment of two new member directors to its board of directors: Stew Elliott Jr., of Elm Grove, Wis.; and Amy Kaplanis of Granby, Colo.
Elliott, 55, is a majority shareholder of Elliott Ace Hardware, a four-store Ace chain located in the western suburbs of Milwaukee. Prior to taking ownership in Ace Hardware, Elliott held a leadership sales role with Amerock, a vendor serving the convenience hardware industry, for six years.
Paint may be a very emotional decision for consumers, but in the retail world, it's a simple business plan: If you want to sell a lot of paint, dedicate enough space to it, assign a full-time, well-trained sales associate to the paint desk, and carry more than two lines of paint. One of those brands should cater to the pros. Find a way to keep the contractors separated from the homeowners, which is not all that difficult; professional painters don't like to sit on sofas surrounded by tasseled pillows.
The Aurora, Colo.-based pro dealer has promoted Garrett Gill, a former Georgia-Pacific executive, to president...

EVANSTON — Not long ago, Illinois simply was hoping to make the 64-team NCAA soccer tournament.
But a late-season flourish — and a run to the Big Ten tournament title match — has Janet Rayfield's hard-charging bunch wanting more.
"We'd love to host (a first-round match)," senior midfielder Marissa Mykines said. "Every win gets us closer to where we want to be."
Mykines extended the Illini's unbeaten streak to 10 matches with an overtime goal in the 91st minute against Michigan State in Friday's tournament semifinal. The second-seeded Illini's 1-0 win sends them against top-seeded Penn State at 3 p.m. Sunday (BTN, WDWS 1400-AM) with plenty at stake.
"The ultimate goal is to win a Big Ten tournament championship," Mykines said.
The NCAA tournament pairings will be announced at 3 p.m. Monday. No. 20 Illinois is in line to host one of the 32 first-round matches.
"We're certainly gonna look to get that automatic bid so we don't have to worry about it," coach Janet Rayfield said.
A victory Sunday would give Illinois the league's automatic bid to the NCAAs.
Penn State beat Illinois 1-0 on Sept. 25. The Illini haven't lost since.
"I don't think it's really revenge," Rayfield said. "We're looking to step up against the last team that beat us."
The Illini haven't hosted an NCAA match since 2004. That team made it to the Elite Eight.
"This team understands we have the ability to break records and do things like that," Mykines said. "We're not nervous at all. We're just excited to have the opportunity."
Illinois won its quarterfinal match against Ohio State on penalty kicks. Mykines made sure the semifinal didn't last as long.
"We really didn't want to go to PKs because it ends up being a 50-50 shot," she said. "We were trying to finish off the game as quickly as possible."
Steph Panozzo made seven saves in the school-record fifth 1-0 win of the season for the Illini (15-4-2), who mobbed Mykines after her goal.
"I was shocked by how fast our backline got up to us after I scored," she said. "I guess we had more energy than we thought. It was a crazy dogpile."
The Illini will train this morning and rest tonight. At the tournament site since Tuesday, they'll return to Champaign on Sunday night.
"You feel good. You're still playing. You're still in the mix for Sunday. Gotta feel good about that," Rayfield said.

New Zealand singer songwriter Lorde was given the keys to curate the official soundtrack for the latest Hunger Games film, that is, Mockingjay Part 1. She got to handpick the artists featured on the album and she collaborated with them to set a particular mood and tone for the 14-song soundtrack. Two of those tracks were imagined by Lorde herself, and one of them caught the eye of Kanye West. The rapper puts his signature twist on Lorde's "Yellow Flicker Beat," turning the rather upbeat tune into a darker and frankly more haunting symphony. Listen to the remix above; click here to watch Lorde dance around to the original version. Mockingjay Part 1 hits theatres November 21, and Lorde's curated soundtrack is out now on iTunes.

Jay Z's "Holy Grail" gets new lease on life in bold new music video
Here we have the music video for "Holy Grail," the Justin Timberlake assisted track that gracefully eases listeners into Jay Z's recent release Magna Carta… Holy Grail. Director Anthony Mandler was clearly given creative freedom during the construction of this visual spectacle. The track is heavily remixed here with verses out of order (Jay spits his rhymes before JT's hook rings, for example) and certain parts are slowed down significantly. It's hard to say if this version is better than the original creation, but there's no denying that this newly polished version works. It's like listening to the song again for the first time, and in my opinion, that's an interesting experience.
Watch Jay rap in a ghoulish mansion and JT croon amongst the flames in the clip embedded above. In a sharp move, Hova teamed with Facebook to exclusively launch the "Holy Grail" music on the social network.
Daft Punk remixes R.A.M.'s "Get Lucky"
Can't get enough of "Get Lucky," the irresistable hit single off Daft Punk's latest prize Random Access Memories? Well the Pharrell Williams assisted and Nile Rodgers enhanced track has been remixed by the electronic duo themselves. Clocking it at over 10 minutes in length, the remix does not deviate too far from its original incarnation, but it's chopped and mixed up just enough to notice and appreciate the revitalized orchestration. The remix streams exclusively on Spotify; log in and listen to it after the break. Also after the jump you'll find a video promo for the new track. Buy "Get Lucky" (Daft Punk Remix) on iTunes and preorder the vinyl here which drops July 16. READ MORE Daft Punk remixes R.A.M.'s "Get Lucky"
Gotye remarkably remixes his song "Somebody I Used To Know" using YouTube clips
Yes, I'm sick of this song as well. Radio stations overplay it and that's twisted it into a painfully catchy tune you never want to hear again but even if you did you'd probably let it play all the way through before screaming at yourself.
That said, give it one more listen because this rendition is fascinating. No really, do it. Wally De Backer (aka Gotye) took it upon himself to scour YouTube for so many covers of his popular Making Mirrors track "Somebody I Used To Know" and then remix them all together to make what he calls "Somebodies: A YouTube Orchestra." The result, as aforementioned, is fascinating and well worth a listen.
Wally tagged the almost six minute clip with this: "Reluctant as I am to add to the mountain of interpretations of "Somebody That I Used To Know" seemingly taking over their own area of the internet, I couldn't resist the massive remixability that such a large, varied yet connected bundle of source material offered. "
Enjoy the collective effort.
DJ Steve Porter remixes 'Community' Greendale gang
As you sit there and shake in anticipation for the season 3 premiere of Community coming later this month, I present this phenomenal video to you. DJ Steve Porter (the same guy that Nickelodeon hired to dream up The '90s Are All That jingle) put together this Community themed remix that incorporates a ton of great season 2 moments. The upbeat dance track was first unveiled at Comic Con earlier this summer, and now it's on the 'Net for all to see! I got two words for you: POP POP!
Community returns September 22 on NBC.

Remix: Britney Spears – "Till The World Ends" (Featuring Nicki Minaj & Ke$ha)
Still can't get Britney Spears' club banger single "Till The World Ends" out of your head? This is no cure. The Femme Fatale has rounded up other pop superstars Nicki Minaj and Ke$ha to join her on the catchy track. In this slightly altered version of the song, Nicki looks inside herself, locates her alter egos, and starts the song with this new intro: "Chimpanzees is hatin', but I take it all in stride/ Put her in a jungle with bananas on the side/ Told you they'd revive your career, but somebody lied/ I ain't talkin' poultry when I say this chicken's fried." Then she explodes into a full on rap verse in a way only Barbie can impress. Ke$ha, who co-wrote the bumping track, hops onto the chorus later on. Listen here:
Update (4/25): Today Britney let loose the final version of the remix. You can listen to it right here. It does sound cleaner. Also, take a gander at the official single art pasted above.
Update 2: Now available to buy on iTunes.
Rihanna teams with Britney Spears for "S&M" remix
One of the most popular songs of 2011 now has a Rihmix. The song now includes nasally vocals from the Femme Fatale–that's right, it's Britney bitch.
"I asked my fans last week who they really wanted me to collaborate with, and Britney was one of the most popular names," RiRi told New York's Z100 show host Elvis Duran. "Britney doesn't do features, and it was really amazing that she wanted to be a part of this song."
Clearly the original version is better since the song does not need Britney's touch, but if you're a fan of the comeback pop star the remix is definitely worth a listen. Watcha think? If you like it that much, you can find it on iTunes.
Lady Gaga puts together "Country Road Version" of "Born This Way"
Gaga has replaced the electronic energy from the original rendition of "Born This Way" and swapped it out for a country twang vibe. And you want to know something? It's even better! What do you think?
Classic Disney movies get radically remixed
Pogo, an Australian electronic music producer, was commissioned by Disney to remix a bunch of their classic movies. He is best known for his work recording small sounds from a single film or scene and sequencing them to form a new piece of music. His latest creation "Wishery" combines vocal syllables, musical chords, and sound effects recorded from the 1937 animated film Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs. The video quickly became a viral sensation and started exposing people the rest of Pogo's fantastic work. For about a year Pogo was contractually obligated to keep his remixed video offline, but now that the Disney gag order has been lifted, you will find over a dozen of them at his YouTube channel. Some of my favorites include sounds from Up, Toy Story, Harry Potter, and Alice; these are embedded after the break. Pogo's got a Pirates Of The Caribbean remix waiting in the wings; he calls it his best mix yet.

La Roux teams up with Kanye West for "In for the Kill" remix
Awwww yeah. Eccentric UK electro/synth pop duo La Roux has teamed up with arguably the hottest rapper in the game right now–Kanye West–to create the remix for "In for the Kill." Not only does the enhanced beat off the popular single from La Roux's self-titled debut album have Ye's fingerprints all over it, Kanye also spits a wondrous verse about halfway through the track. A music video will accompany the remix soon. Says La Roux frontwoman Elly Jackson to MTV News about working with Kanye: "He's a very exciting person to be around. He's a special breed of person. He's not quite like anyone I've ever met before. He's very, very, very creative. He comes up with ideas every five seconds. We've had a very interesting three days. It's a very interesting mix of things." And as for the upcoming music video? "[The setting is] very slick but quite seedy. [You're] not quite sure what is going on in a lot of it, but it's got some amazing visuals, some amazing characters." You know where to look when it drops. For now, preview and download the remix below.

Kanye West announces Jay-Z collab EP, drops "Monster" (Featuring Jay-Z, Rick Ross, Bon Iver & Nicki Minaj) & "Runaway Love" (Remix) (Featuring Justin Bieber & Raekwon)
Kanye West promised new music every "G.O.O.D. Friday" and so far he has not broken that promise. On Friday August 27 Kanye released "Monster" and it features an all-star cast including Jay-Z, Rick Ross, Nicki Minaj, and Justin Vernon of indie folk band Bon Iver. All in all the track is tight, but you want to know who really kills it? Nicki Minaj, that's who. She raps, "You could be the king, but watch the queen conquer." She's quick and has tons of spunk. Female rappers that go hard like this aren't in abundance these days; I'm excited to see what she's going to do next. In fact, all of a sudden I'm anticipating her debut album to drop. (Its expected release date is November 23, one week after Kanye's yet-to-be-titled album hits stores.) Kanye made sure to mention how much he appreciated Nicki's contribution to the track. He tweeted, "MONSTER… can we just talk about Nicki's verse???????!!!!!!!!! I toooooooooooooooold yaaaaaaaaaaaaaaallll!!!!!!!!!!!!" Preview and download "Monster" below.
Download: Kanye West – "Monster" (Featuring Jay-Z, Rick Ross, Bon Iver & Nicki Minaj)
Speaking of Twitter… Nearly three hours before he posted the download link for "Monster" he shared this exciting news: "Me and jay bout to drop a 5 song album called 'Watch the Throne'". I guess we can consider this upcoming 5 track EP a mini-prequel to his studio album. Along with the download link he tweeted, "[This is] the second song off of me and Jay album!" It would not be too drastic to think that the first song off the EP is the "Power" remix since that song does feature Jay-Z, but 'Ye left this up in the air for now.
Fast forward to today and now there's another new song from Camp Kanye. Yeah I know, it's not Friday just yet, so I guess we can consider this next song a special bonus. About two weeks ago Kanye tweeted that he was listening to Justin Bieber's "Runaway Love" song from My World 2.0. The Bieb responded with gratitude. Next Kanye blurted out this: "Maybe we can do something together. Me, You and Raekwon." Bieber's reply? "Me, u, and the chef 2gether on a song = EPIC. haha." Yeah, this collaboration actually happened. Kanye West, Raekwon of the Wu-Tang Clan, and teen sensation Justin Bieber (who happens to be signed to Def Jam Records with Kanye) are featured on a remix of "Runaway Love". After listening to the track it appears that The Bieb might not have had a hand in making the mix. Basically Kanye laid Beiber's vocals on top of the Wu-Tang Clan's "Wu-Tang Clan Ain't Nuthing Ta F' Wit" (1993) beat. The remix includes one rather short verse from Kanye and two surprisingly explicative-free verses from Raekwon. And you want to know what? The song catchy, what with Bieber's young Michael Jackson-esque sound, the Chef's old school rhymes, and 'Ye's producing. It's a nice treat for fans of so many different generations. Feel free to preview and download the track below.

Single: Cee-Lo Green – "F–k You" (NSFW)
Cee-Lo Green is a hip-hop/funk/soul artist whose been around since 1992; he is best known for his work with the Goodie Mob, but you will likely recognize his voice from his recent collab with Gnarls Barkley on the smash single "Crazy" off 2006's St. Elsewhere. Cee-Lo has a new album to promote, so he let loose this extremely catchy and profane single titled, um, "F–k You". In the song Cee-Lo curses out a girl who left him for a richer man. There is a high level of profanity used in the track, but that is balanced out with really creative and witty lines like, "I'm sorry I can't afford a Ferrari/I guess she's an Xbox and I'm more Atari." This single could be an instant radio hit, but I don't know how it would fare with the incessant bleeps.
Embedded above is the lyric video for the track (again, it's filled with NSFW language). A standard music video for the track is expected to drop sometime this week. Cee-Lo's third solo album Lady Killer hits stores October 4 December 7.
Update: 50 Cent has gone ahead and added a single new verse to the track. In the freestyle he assumes the role of the rich man who stole away Cee-Lo's lady. Listen to 50's addition after the break.
Update 2: In an interview with EW, Cee-Lo said that Lady Killer will drop later than expected on December 7. He also revealed that a profanity-free radio edit is in the works. "It's called "Forget You,"" he says. "It's pretty close to the original, but not as effective. But it's politically correct." So I guess that catchy tune (minus its naughty bits) will make its way to the radio at some point.

G.I Joe: Retaliation wasn't great but it was a great help
Bad news is an unfortunate inevitability sometimes. I'm an anxious person by nature but when my life is hit with bad news, it's ramped up to new heights. Last week, bad news arrived and it's been tough. First you do your best to find peace in acceptance. Then you search for any and all positives to make you feel better. I think about quotes like:
"Why do we fall? So that we can learn to pick ourselves up." (Batman Begins)
It gets easier with time but this was a rough one. Nearly a week later, I was still doing anything I could to avoid silent moments deep in thought. I wrote blog posts. I created some new graphics. I tweaked my latest screenplay. I watched movies.
Yesterday, the start of my shift was much later than usual so I had a lot of free time. After a few restless hours I decided to go to the movies. My choice?
There were tons of new releases out there to choose from but I wanted action. Just a few simple hours to distract myself. In that way, G.I Joe delivered exactly what I needed. An escape. Eventually, I forgot about everything and focused on Cobra Commander's master plan… He's kind of an idiot.
I know G.I Joe succeeded in distracting me because I spent the majority of the movie enjoying the action and questioning the story. I was immersed no matter how many plot holes they glazed over. You really don't find out what Cobra's plan is until the final few minutes. Actually Cobra is barely in the movie. It was unfortunate to waste such an iconic bad guy.
A large chunk of the movie is spent looking for Storm Shadow. While the search gave us a ninja fight suspended on mountain tops, Storm Shadow's story was unexpectedly dumb. Why fight at all when you're going to jump ship immediately?
I love good villains with well thought out plans. But Cobra is better than this isn't he? Secretly building satellites of mass destruction in order to rule the world is more Dr. Evil than Cobra isn't it? How could that many satellites go unnoticed by the worlds leaders? When they gather together, it takes about two minutes to convince them all to launch dozens of Nuclear warheads. It takes 30 seconds to convince them all to abort. Two minutes later, London is destroyed anyways…
I've never liked sequences like that. A city is destroyed. Millions of lives are lost and it's never mentioned again?
Within 10 minutes our heroes arrive, throw a few punches and it's over. Good action but no showdown with Cobra? He just leaves. It's ironic that I went to see a simple action movie and spent most of my time demanding more from the story.
Regardless of my complaints, I felt better once the credits rolled. I went home, ate some dinner with my wife and went to work in a better mood. Any other day I may have loathed G.I Joe: Retaliation but that's the beauty of going to the movies. Sometimes, a movie you normally wouldn't like is an unexpected surprise. It's the escape you hoped it would be.
As time goes by, I'll feel better. Until then, all I can do is surround myself with people I love and things I'm passionate about. To me, when I'm alone with my thoughts, a well chosen movie is like a good friend.
Overall, I didn't like G.I Joe 2 but I loved the distraction it provided. For that, Retaliation is another good friend of mine.

Clerkhill School pupils received certificates after successfully reciting the work of poets including Robert Burns and Sheena Blackhall.
The pupils had two weeks to learn the poems off by heart and they later performed infront of their classmates before prize winners were selected.
The winners from each class then recited their poems infront of an assembly of around 200 people.
Head Teacher, Janet Adie said: "They are amazing. The primary sevens did poems including 'To a Haggis' and 'Tam o' Shanter' while the younger ones did poems including 'The Traffic Jam'.
