Istanbul Mehmet Co. Announces New Tony Williams Tribute Cymbals
Istanbul, Turkey……The Istanbul Mehmet Company, the original Turkish cymbal makers, have announced the introduction of a much anticipated set of cymbals created in tribute to legendary drummer Tony Williams. Created as faithful replicas of the now iconic cymbals made famous by Tony Williams on the recordings of the 60s era Miles Davis Quintet, these exclusive new cymbals will be made available initially as limited edition numbered sets.
When Miles Davis invited the 17 year old Tony Williams to join his new Quintet, the music world would be forever changed … and the art of drumming would never be the same. Not only did Tony set a new standard in drumming with this revolutionary group but the very sound of his instrument, in particular, that of his cymbals, would set a benchmark to which, still to this day, all others would aspire.
Now, The Istanbul Mehmet Company has been granted exclusive access to the very same cymbals, made in Istanbul in the late 50's, which were used by Tony Williams on the Miles Davis Quintet's historic recordings. As if they needed even more extraordinary lineage, this exquisite set of cymbals was given to Tony by his friend and mentor, the great Max Roach. Every detail of the original and now legendary cymbals, has been meticulously measured, weighed, gauged and recorded. To ensure precision, Colleen Williams, Tony's wife, hand carried these precious cymbals 'home' to Istanbul to allow the Istanbul Mehmet master artisans first hand access to the original cymbals for this incredible and fascinating recreation process.
Enormous attention to detail was paid during their creation, with every minute aspect of the cymbals' design; profile, taper, size, weight, etc. being scrupulously measured and factored to ensure that the new, hand made cymbals be as close in sound as possible to the originals. Istanbul Mehmet drew from their rich archives the original and now 'antique' cup dies, the actual dies used to form the bells on the originals, and used them in order to perfectly recreate the bell shapes on the tribute models. Hand-made in Turkey using the same techniques passed down from generation to generation of cymbal artisans, the Istanbul Mehmet Company has faithfully recreated what is arguably the most famous and most desired cymbal sound of all time.
''I am deeply happy to be working with the great and honorable Mr. Mehmet, whose personal legacy of mastery placed him at the creation of the original masterpiece cymbals and to be able to give to the world, once again, the true essence of these iconic cymbal sounds, sounds so loved and desired by so many for so long'', said Colleen Williams. ''To have had the opportunity to go to Istanbul, the birthplace of the originals, to meet the Istanbul craftsmen, to hear the hammer blows, to witness their imagination, powerful labor and commitment to excellence on this project has been a revelation. It was a profound experience to attend this 'rebirth' of something Tony loved and treasured and an experience that I shall never forget. One doesn't hear the word: 'mastery' so often these days. It has been an extraordinary joy for me to step into its beautiful presence again.''

Hi,i just updated to squeeze 6.0.1 (from 6.0.0) and now my mouse pointer disappeared. As written in subject, i am using KDE.
I tried to change the style of the pointer, but that didn't help.While loading a program (for example Icedove) the "jumping" icon is showed and can be moved by using the mouse-pad. Moving the pointer and klicking is possible - but it is hard to know where you are without seeing the pointer :)
Does anybody has an idea how I can get my mouse back? Thanks. Greetings, Christian

5 Tips for a Stress-Free Marathon
The day you run a marathon, the hardest work is already done. Months of long runs, tempo workouts, and more mileage than you care to remember are behind you. The only thing in front of you is the marathon itself. Get excited!
But just because you trained well doesn't mean you can skip the pre-race planning. A regular routine will help reduce stress on the morning of the race and get you ready to perform your best. You'll get to the starting line ready to run without the stress of wondering how to get there or where your favorite socks are hiding.
1. Plan Your Morning — Don't Wing It!
You'll have a lot to worry about on race day — like running 26.2 miles — so make sure you take care of all your preparations the day before.
a. Plan all transportation to the starting area.
b. Bring enough clothes to stay warm before the start.
c. Set two alarm clocks (and allow extra time for traffic, long bathroom lines, and warming up).
d. Pack your race bag with everything you need: fuel, water, breakfast, race gear, and anti-chafing cream (c'mon, you know you use it!).
Take an extra 20 minutes the day before the race. That precious time will help you stay calm when you're rushed in the morning. Nobody wants to stress out about socks or energy snacks before a marathon.
2. Train the Way You Run – Even the Preparation!
Hopefully during training you did enough mileage, workouts, and long runs to prepare physically for the stress of a marathon. If you've trained well, there's nothing to worry about.
The day of the race should be similar to a tough long run — everything from your warm-up to your breakfast should be similar and familiar. Don't just practice running during your training, practice everything. To make sure race day isn't a shock, keep these helpful tips in mind:
a. If you drink coffee before a workout or long run, stay on the caffeine train! It's a proven performance enhancer so keep the coffee flowing.
b. If you take gels and water during your long runs, do the same while racing the marathon.
c. Eat the same breakfast as you normally do before a long run (you may want to eat a few more carbs to continue carbo-loading; marathons require a lot of energy from carbohydrates, so do your best to have a carb-rich breakfast).
d. Don't run in new or different shoes — make sure you're comfortable with your racing shoes well before the race.
Experimentation and new routines are for training — when your performance doesn't have to be at its peak. Your race should be controlled so make sure you don't break your training habits at the last minute with new techniques.
3. Know the Course – And Run It Well
Each marathon is different and will present different challenges: Some have tortuous uphills or quad-busting miles of downhill running while others include hairpin turns and long stretches of solitary running on quiet streets.
No matter the terrain or obstacles, study the course map and elevation profile before race day to ensure you know what you're facing. The strategy you take will depend on the type of course. Courses that start on a long downhill with big hills later in the race (like the Boston Marathon) will require a more conservative approach than a flat course like Chicago.
Another important aspect of road racing is to avoid the camber of the road. A road's "camber" is when it slopes toward the curb for drainage. If you always run with the curb to your left, you're essentially running with a leg length discrepancy!
Instead, stay in the middle of the road where it's more level. The only time you want to be close to the curb is when you're going around a tight turn to ensure you're running the tangents.
4. Performance Anxiety? Forget it!
Trust your training. You've trained for this day and you're ready to perform. But you might be nervous — and that's okay! Being nervous is just a good reminder that you're still alive and you're about to do something important.
Don't sabotage yourself by not believing in what you're capable of accomplishing. Execute the race just like a hard long run and you'll be successful.
The training is done and you've done the work (hint: that's the "secret" to good running!); now it's time to test yourself and have some fun out on the race course!
5. DON'T Make this Rookie Mistake
A race can't be won in the first minute — but it can be lost. In the case of a marathon, it's always best to run the first 1-2 miles conservatively and ease into your goal pace.
Running hard from the very start can put you over the pace you should be running, increasing your heart rate past the aerobic zone and into anaerobic territory. Don't burn all that sugar when your body will need it in the final miles of the marathon!
In other words, "don't write checks your body can't cash."
Before your next marathon, take a half hour the day before to organize your gear and plan the morning of the race. You'll wake up with less stress and more focus that can be channeled into your race. Now go get that personal best!

Less strain + more efficiency = more knitting. Whether or not math is your forté, this is an equation sure to catch any knitter's eye. If your knitting has ever been cut short by achy hands and wrists, or if you find yourself yearning for speedier stitching, join me, instructor Lorilee Beltman, for my online Craftsy class, Knit Faster with Continental Knitting, to learn a different style of knitting that increases comfort and bolsters efficiency!
When it comes to Continental Knitting there's only one overarching rule: fewer motions mean more efficiency. During class, learn which motions have the greatest impact on stitch gauge to size knit and purl stitches equally and achieve even tension. You'll give each finger a job, minimizing hand motions so that your knitting will become faster, more comfortable and more efficient! Whether you're new to knitting, or seasoned in English-Style, you'll be happy you took this big step.
For our first lesson, we'll focus on the knit stitch — Continental style. Learn how to tension and position yarn in your hands to make knit stitches flow effortlessly across your needles, then move on to the purl stitch. I'll show you how to hold your yarn and move it into place so that your needle grabs quickly and easily, and we'll work to keep awkward movements at a minimum, making sure your stitches are correctly oriented on your needles.
Depending on your stitches, you might notice that your knitting is too tight or too loose. In our third lesson, I'll show you how this happens and explain how to get those stitches just right. At this point, you've likely gotten an idea of how Continental Knitting increases your efficiency, but it's with techniques that require frequent stitch alternation where the value of this style really shines. As we talk about ribbing and seed stitch, you'll see that getting working yarn to the back or front of your knitting is simply a matter of shifting your right hand!
Next, we'll walk through basic increases, decreases and other stitch maneuvers you need as you find out just how easy elaborate patterns become when you're holding your yarn in the left hand. That's why lefties especially will love Continental Knitting! Then, whether your favorite fabric has cables, colorwork or beyond, you'll learn how to tackle each. Just try not to get too excited when you see how much easier Linen Stitch and colorwork can be — we've still got one lesson to go!
For our final lesson you'll face an inevitable truth: the way you're holding your yarn might be causing you pain. I'll give you tips to keep in mind so you can avoid pitfalls and pain, and troubleshoot why you may have trouble keeping tension and stitches even. We'll end on an inspiring note, and run over some small, fun projects with which you can put your exciting new skills to use! Learn how to rejuvenate your knitting and ditch stitching strain when you sign up for Knit Faster with Continental Knitting today!
Over the years, I've found that venturing into something new can really pay off! If you're looking to try your hand at Continental Knitting, then rest assured that I'll do everything I can to help, because one of my greatest passions is helping students embrace their creative curiosities and push past their obstacles! It's this affection for knitters drove me to own and operate my own business, City Knitting, from 2005 to 2009. Now, I'm so lucky to have the opportunity to focus on instruction, and help knitters get the knowledge they need to flourish!
Luckily for both of us, Craftsy is as dedicated to getting rid of those educational roadblocks as I am. In fact, Craftsy makes education easy, with classes that you can watch anytime, anywhere, as you enjoy lifetime access to personalized support!
So what are you waiting for? Hurt less, knit faster and finish projects with smooth, even tension. You'll soon realize that efficient knitting is exciting knitting!

1928 Original Lou Gehrig & New York Yankees Infielders Photo - PSA/DNA Type 1
Starting Bid - $200.00, Sold For - $533.25
Original news photo capturing the seven infielders on the New York Yankees roster in 1928 (left to right): Leo Durocher, Lou Gehrig, Tony Lazzeri, Joe Dugan, Mike Gazella, Gene Robertson, and Mark Koenig. Encapsulated and certified as a "Type 1 Original News Service Photograph" by PSA/DNA. A "Wide World Photos" credit stamp appears on the reverse, as does the handwritten notation "Murderers' Row - infield." Also found on the reverse is a "Nov 30 1928" date stamp and a black ink stamp that reads "New York Yankees 1928/484-141." The original paper news caption is no longer present (remnants remain on the reverse). Like the year before, the 1928 Yankees once again swept their National League rivals, the St. Louis Cardinals, in the World Series, thereby solidifying their claim as one of baseball's all-time greatest clubs. The infielders pictured here were in no small way responsible for the team's success that season. Gehrig, of course, produced his usual incredible numbers, leading the team in batting average (.374) and RBI (142), while hitting 27 home runs. The other three starters were also highly productive at the plate, with both Lazzeri and Koenig batting over .300 and Dugan recording a .276 mark. Durocher later went on to fame as the shortstop for the St. Louis Cardinals' legendary "Gas House Gang" in 1934. The photo (10 x 8 inches), which displays outstanding clarity, has just a few minor surface wrinkles and light rippling. In Excellent condition overall. Reserve $200. Estimate $500+. SOLD FOR $533.25

WASHINGTON: Signaling solidarity, President Barack Obama and Japan's new prime minister said Friday that North Korea's recent nuclear provocations would not be tolerated and pledged to seek strong action against the isolated nation.
Following an Oval Office meeting, Obama said he and Prime Minister Shinzo Abe were united in their "determination to takes strong actions" in response to North Korea's nuclear test launch earlier this month.
Abe, speaking through a translator, said the two leaders have agreed to deal "resolutely" with North Korea.
"We just cannot tolerate the actions of North Korea, such as launching missiles and conducting nuclear tests," said Abe, adding that the two leaders also agreed to push for tougher UN Security Council sanctions against North Korea.
Other regional tensions in Asia served as the backdrop for the meetings, most notably Japan's dispute with China over the Japanese-administered Senkaku islands.
The dispute flared after Tokyo nationalized some of the islands in September. China also claims the tiny islands, which it calls Diaoyu. It has stepped up patrols into what Japan considers its territorial waters, heightening concern that a conflict could be sparked. The tensions highlight the rivalry between China, the world's second-largest economy, and Japan, which is the third. Tokyo accused China last month of locking weapons-guiding radar on a Japanese destroyer and a helicopter, in what it viewed as a dangerous escalation. Beijing accused Tokyo of fabricating the reports to smear China.
The US has treaty obligations to help Japan in the event of a conflict, obligations Abe said were a stabilizing factor in ensuring peace and stability in the region. He pledged that Japan would continue to deal with the China dispute in a calm manner.
Abe is the latest in a revolving door of Japanese prime ministers, underscoring the Asian nation's prolonged economic malaise. He is the fifth prime minister since Obama took office.
Friday's meeting was an opportunity for the US to gauge Tokyo's intent to join negotiations on the Trans-Pacific Partnership, a regionwide free trade pact being pushed by Washington. Abe held back from such a commitment, which is opposed by most of his party and Japan's small but politically powerful farming lobby, at least until after key elections in July for the upper house.
In a joint statement following the meeting, the two leaders agreed to continue their talks about Japan's "possible interest" in joining the trade pact, known as the TPP. But they agreed that concerns remained, particularly with respect to the automotive and insurance sectors.
The newly elected Japanese leader is a nationalist and a keen advocate of stronger relations with Washington, which have assumed more importance for Tokyo. It has locked horns in recent months with emerging power China over the control of unoccupied islands in the resource-rich seas between them.

Courses and Programs
We at JLA take the pride to offer the following courses and programs accompanied with our cultural and extra-curricular activities.
a) Full-time programs: These are full-semester programs that are approximately 200 hours. They come in four (4) levels.
b) Part-time programs: These courses are run on Saturdays and evenings. Usually, they are basic language skills: reading, writing and conversation. We also offer courses in translation and interpretation.
c) Intensive Programs: Is a summer immersion program that lasts about 8 weeks (170 hours). It includes language and cultural courses covering many different topics as in the full-time programs, including clubs and excursions, volunteer work and many other learning activities.
d) Tailor-made programs: JLA offers tailor-made programs that meet the needs of learners. We can arrange programs and courses to one or more students according to their specific and technical needs. We have done that several times for students from different countries and reached excellent results. These courses can be offered anytime of the year.
e) Tutoring: JLA offers one-on–one tutoring in which we use our selected curricula or a designed one according to students' need and request.
f) Cultural Program: Parallel to the language program we have a cultural program that includes Arabic literature, Calligraphy, Archaeology of Jordan, Arabic society, Arabic media, Arabic music, Middle East political issues, Arabic culture (traditions, customs, costumes and Arabic cooking). Advanced programs include language, culture, clubs, and basic courses in translation and interpretation.
g) Speakers: We have a regular program of guest speakers. Our speakers are well-known distinguished people in many cultural fields.
h) Excursions: Learning Arabic is not restricted to classroom education and weekdays. JLA offers a range of optional full and half-day excursions to nearby archaeological sites, natural treasures of Jordan and cultural activities and events. Your professors, specialized tour guides, or archaeologists will accompany you in your tours. Students will be encouraged to practice their Arabic in these excursions. These excursions can be combined with lessons or private tutoring. Tours are usually arranged in weekends.
i) Volunteering: JLA is very keen to find natural cultural opportunities for its students to further immerse in the Arabic culture. Students can strengthen their knowledge of the social life, economic pattern, cultural norms and customs etc, by complementing their language learning experience in an authentic environment far from books and classrooms. We find volunteer work opportunities for our students in the Jordanian institutions. These opportunities are dominated by students skills, commitment, and their backgrounds from one side and the opportunities available in the Jordanian institutions at a given time.
j) Clubs: JLA has the following clubs to encourage students using the language and familiarizing themselves with the culture:
- Chatting Club: students will have the chance to sit and chat with a native speaker of Arabic according to a schedule of topics that enforce the topics they studied in classroom. In this club students will have a more spontaneous conversation and can learn from their own mistakes.
- Arabic Games Club: Students consider this fun time. They can play Arabic games such as word scrabble, Arabic words flash cards, backgammon, Mangala, Arabic Karaoke, and many other interesting and educational games.
- Book Club: The book club is arranged by your professors. Your professors will suggest an Arabic book to be read every fortnight. The professor will give a general presentation on the blogs on the JLA website. During the week, students and the professor will discuss online the main themes, the plot, the style of the writer etc. This proved to be a very informative and useful method to our students as they can learn a lot from their professors and from each other.
- Cinema Club: In this club, very selective Arabic films and documentaries are presented to our students at a regular basis.
- Cooking Club: One of our enthusiastic teachers will introduce major Arabic and Jordanian and Middle Eastern dishes to our students. Students will participate in preparing dishes and enjoy the food after that.
In some cases, if the students number in a course or program is three or less, we have the right to change the course from a full/part- time format into tutoring format.
Students are always welcome to suggest a course to the JLA administration, which will be very positively considered. We are always ready to tune our courses to meet our students' needs so please do not hesitate to give us your comments and suggestions so we can be of help to you.
We also run the following courses according to institutional needs:

Since the late 1980s, there have been some important changes in teen boys' sexual behavior, particularly the proportion who have had sex. One of the most important studies on male sexual behavior, It's a Guy Thing, was conducted in 2006 by the National Campaign to Prevent Teen and Unplanned Pregnancy.
The percentage of children who are overweight has increased from 6% in 1976-1980 to 18% in 2004.
The percentage of children who are overweight has increased from 6% in 1976-1980 to 18% in 2004.
- Despite being more likely to participate in organized sports or meet recommended guidelines for exercise and physical activity than girls, boys are also more likely to spend more than three hours a day watching television or playing computer games than girls.
- Adolescent males are more likely to be overweight or at risk of becoming overweight than girls, but are less likely to describe themselves as overweight or try to lose weight (either through diet or exercise).
- Due to the dramatic increase of children and adolescents who are overweight or obese, the number of children diagnosed with type 2 diabetes has also increased substantially (from 5% in previous years to as much as 30%-50% in some studies).

Thabit ibn Qurra
Primary tabs
Thabit ibn Qurra
Thabit ibn Qurra (836 - 901), an astronomer and mathematician born in present day Turkey, best known for translating classic Greek works on astronomy, and for coming up with a formula for amicable pairs.
Muhammad bin Musa bin Shakir invited Thabit to work in Baghdad's House of Wisdom translating Greek and Syrian works (such as Apollonius's Conics or works of Euclid and Archimedes). As he translated the texts, Thabit produced a mathematical body of his own.
Thabit was one of the Sabians. Their worship of planets and stars was tolerated by the Muslim caliphs, who were interested in their work on astronomy. It is believed that Thabit came up with early theories about the equinoxes, and made a pretty good estimate of the length of the sidereal year that was off by just a couple of seconds.

This is documented in the wheezy Release Notes: http://www.debian.org/releases/wheezy/amd64/release-notes/ch-upgrading.en.html#ia32libs
I did that. Multiarch in Wheezy, such as it is, is reasonably sane. In sid, the dependency tree has some impossibilities. They have been taken care of, primitively, for devs working on multiarch, but you can't get there from here if you want to do it on a Wheezy system with a small selection of sid packages, if any of those package are in multiarch and are i386 packages.
Specifically, sid's wine-bin:i386 could not be installed without updating ia32-libs, which cannot happen ordinarily. However, if you set synaptic (for instance) to prefer experimental, ia32-libs is now installable, but (on this particular system of mine) it pulled in about a dozen experimental packages and was uninstallable without them.
I let it happen, and everything seems to work now, especially wine, but it will be some months before the devs priority will shift in earnest from releasing Wheezy to working on Jessy and making multiarch a desirable thing. I am over the hump, now, and all I have to do now is practice patience, but for newbies this thing will be traumatic if they go through it now. I recommend based on my own experiences not to tackle this now unless absolutely necessary, and to be patient, because I am sure that, in the fullness of time, a smoother transition will be worked out, and it really isn't necessary for most people.

While no greenlight has been given for a Salt 2 both Sony and Angelina Jolie have shown interest in making a sequel. The film has made $293 million worldwide on a budget of $110 million thanks to strong interest overseas, so the financial incentive is there to make another one.
Although, they may have to find a different director as it appears Phillip Noyce isn't interested in returning.
From MovieHole:
"Those 3 [alternate] Blu-ray cuts [of the film] represent just about everything I have to offer on Everlyn Salt", says the filmmaker. "If there ever is a sequel, better its directed by someone with a completely fresh take on what I believe could be a totally entertaining and complex series of stories."
The Salt DVD and Blu-ray will be released tomorrow so Sony will probably see how that fares before moving forward with a sequel, but it's likely they will. Jolie's latest movie, The Tourist, hasn't exactly made a mark on the box office but if you put the actress in an action movie she always delivers the goods.
Are you interested in seeing a Salt sequel? If so, who should direct?

The Louisiana coastal marshes occupy over four million acres in a continuous band which extends from the Mississippi state line on the east to the Texas state line on the west. The western portion of the area is known as the Chenier Plain, which is bordered on the north by the Pleistocene Prairie formation, also known as the ricebelt in southwestern Louisiana. Lacassine National Wildlife Refuge (NWR) is located in the Cameron and Evangeline Parishes and straddles the border of the Pleistocene Prairie and the Chenier Plain marshes. The refuge is bisected by the Gulf Intracoastal Waterway and Bayou Lacassine and is bordered on the east by the Mermentau River and on the west by the Bell City Drainage Ditch. The southern border of the refuge is formed by Lake Misere, Bayou Misere, Mud Lake, and Grand Lake.
The vegetative types occuring on the refuge are primarily water tolerant grasses, sedges, and shrubs. The types vary according to frequency, depth, and length of time water covers the area. Vegetation in the undeveloped marshes is dominated by bulltongue. Vegetation in Lacassine Pool, a 16,000 acre freshwater impoundment, consists primarily of bulltongue, maidencane, watershield, waterlily, spikerush, and southern bullrush. Trees include black willow, Chinese tallow, and cypress which are generally scattered through the refuge. Natural marsh habitat predominates, with minimal amounts of open water, forest, grassland, shrubland, and cropland.
Lacassine NWR is managed extensively for waterfowl and other Louisiana coastal wetland species. The refuge manipulates water levels to manage for naturally occuring marsh and moist soil plants and plants crops to provide food for wintering waterfowl that migrate down the Mississippi and Central flyways. Prescribed burning is utilized to invigorate native coastal prairie grass and forb growth and also to reduce the fuel load and organic accumulation in the marshes.
The refuge is also in the process of restoring coastal prairie habitat. Coastal
prairie is a type of tallgrass prairie, similar to the tallgrass prairie
of the midwest U.S. This ecosystem once extended from Corpus
Christi, TX to its eastern limit at the margin of pine savanna along
a north south line running from Opelousas to Lafayette, LA. In
pre-settlement times, the coastal prairie was estimated to have encompassed
as much as nine million acres of land. Today, substantially less
than one percent of the coastal prairie remains in a relatively undisturbed
condition. The remaining 99.9 percent has been nearly eliminated
by agriculture. Refuge staff have conducted several small prairie
restorations on the refuge in Cameron Parish and are in the process
of restoring a 350 acre refuge tract in Evangeline Parish.

New York Times columnist makes case for hell
April 25, 2011
Writing in the Easter Sunday edition of The New York Times, Ross Douthat argues that "If there's no possibility of saying no to paradise then none of our no's have any real meaning either. They're like home runs or strikeouts in a children's game where nobody's keeping score."
In this sense, a doctrine of universal salvation turns out to be as deterministic as the more strident forms of scientific materialism. Instead of making us prisoners of our glands and genes, it makes us prisoners of God himself. We can check out any time we want, but we can never really leave.
The doctrine of hell, by contrast, assumes that our choices are real, and, indeed, that we are the choices that we make. The miser can become his greed, the murderer can lose himself inside his violence, and their freedom to turn and be forgiven is inseparable from their freedom not to do so.

But the meaninglessness of our choices in this world (a consequence of disbelief in hell) is precisely what our modern moral nihilists want to assert. Douhat's conclusion only discomfits those who want it both ways: a life of meaning and purpose AND the complete absence of any real consequences to our decisions.

Giving Back – Why Donors Choose
The inspiration to support Donors Choose began in 2009 when my amazing niece was teaching in a high poverty high school in inner-city Philadelphia, and needed a LCD projector and speakers to help teach her honor students Spanish. To many of her students, she was the first person to ever believe in them. I contributed money to help fund her project.
To me, my niece is a Super Hero.
Since then, I have donated to Donors Choose throughout the years. I like that you can personally select which project(s) to support. Give a little. Or a lot. It all adds up in supporting teachers doing their absolute best in making a positive difference in the lives of their students.
As part of my vision for my business and my life, I am committed to supporting others so they can be the best they can be. That is why I choose Donors Choose.
Visit DonorsChoose.org to learn more about this amazing organization and how you can help make a difference.

Justina was first published in 1999 by Macmillan. Silver Screen, a novel about AI and transhumanism, was her first book and was shortlisted for the Arthur C Clarke award. Since then she has written eight more books. The first three were clearly Science Fiction and were all critically well received. They explored similar themes of human futures, opportunities and limitations, but after that elements of fantasy crept in due not only to a love of both genres but to a lifetime fascination with the apparent love/hate relationship between critics and fans of the two which broadly divides down lines of how you like your reality served up, but we needn't get into that right now because this is a biographical note. The final five books comprise a set — Quantum Gravity — which is a crossover series between the two genres. She is now writing on two new projects, both SF with fantasy elements.
Justina was born in Leeds, West Yorkshire in 1968, has two sons and lives in Leeds with them and her Significant Other. She is a lifelong student of philosophy and psychology and did some linguistics at University, although she still is not quick at learning languages. Aside from working as a writer she has been employed as a secretary, administrator, yoga instructor and fitness trainer. Her guilty pleasures are romance novels, wine and World of Warcraft.

Order Roses Online: Earthkind405
Duchesse de Brabant
Teddy Roosevelt made this rose his favorite, often wearing a bud or flower as a boutonniere. It is very nearly our greatest favorite, too. The cupped pink flowers have a cabbagey roundness to them, as if they were picked from a luscious old rose painting. Nearly continuously in bloom, these roses can be counted on for a rich whiff of fragrance at absolutely any time of the day, even in the hot Texas sun. The apple green leaves are slightly wavy.

Forty years after the Supreme Court found a constitutional right to abortion in the Fourth Amendment on behalf of ?Jane Roe??a 25-year-old single mother in Texas named Norma McCorvey?America is as unsettled as ever on the issue. This is for two reasons that, by their nature, are at odds with each other. The first is that abortion is a metaphysical enigma to which neither wisdom nor experience provides a definitive answer; we?re therefore left to fashion an imperfect political response to a question that?s fundamentally spiritual. The second is that, as with other more banal political m

A good answer, but I would start by asking why do you want to have so many workspaces? You are aware that a workspace can (and usually should) have more than one Project in it, right?
