|The Zachman Framework™ Evolution
The Zachman Framework™ Evolution
By: John P. Zachman
The Zachman Framework™ has evolved over time. While the fundamental concepts have not changed at all, refinements to the graphical representation in addition to more precise language embody what The Framework has become today. Here is a brief trip down its historical evolution...
1984: Never seen until now, this is the original Framework: Information Systems Architecture - A Framework by John A. Zachman. Created in June of 1984, this was a crude representation that John created himself of what would later be referred to as The Zachman Framework™. Notice it has only 3 Columns. While all 6 Columns did actually exist, John was nervous that people might not be able to fully appreciate (or be willing to accept) his thoughts, particularly since Enterprise Architecture hadn't been born yet and this was a Framework for INFORMATION SYSTEMS architecture.
Also notice, Column 1, Row 2 the Chen Diagram, Row 3 contains a Bachman Diagram and Row 4 has an IMS Root-Segment Diagram.
1984: This version of The Framework was created from John's original drawings by IBM graphics support that John used up until he retired from IBM in 1990. Notice the original title: Information Systems Architecture - A Framework. Also, notice the "diamond" in the Column 1, Row 2 Chen notation model. John would later remove this because this is a composite view of that particular cell. The "diamond" is a representation of a process (or verb) connecting two entities (or nouns), which violates the later developed fundamental Framework rule that cells can only contain primitive constructs, not composites (i.e.: no processes can be in that cell). This is a perfect example of what we would call a composite model today, not a primitive model.
Also notice the IDEF0 notations in Column 2, Rows 2 & 3. These are also a composite view because of the vertical arrows. These are not pure, primitive models.
1987: The original Framework for Information Systems Architecture. This is the original version published in the 1987 IBM Systems Journal. Notice that only the first 3 Columns made it in spite of all 6 existing. Most people had no concept of thinking "Enterprise-wide," as John would later coin. Since The Framework was originally published for I/S, there was no precedent set for thoughts about Organization (Column 4), Timing (Column 5) or Motivation (Column 6). Notice the composite model in Column 1, Row 2 as defined above in addition to some of the other notation changes.
1992: Still called A Framework for Information Systems Architecture in this 1992 IBM Systems Journal article, Enterprise Architecture was starting to gain a small amount of recognition based on John's ideas that strategy and information systems needed to be "engineered" enterprise-wide, not just "manufactured" by the I/S department. However, this Framework so revolutionized the I/S concept that existed at this time, that people began to refer to this Framework as, The Zachman Framework™.
This artist's rendition is fairly close to John's original graphic. Note that John added the words "Owner," "Designer," and "Builder" to Rows 2, 3 and 4 for clarification. John Sowa (co-author of the 1992 article) said, "Oh, we can call Row 1 'Planner,' and Row 5 'Sub-Contractor.'"
Also note that the models in Columns 4, 5 & 6 are all the same down the columns. The I/S community, at that time, did not have much experience or notations for the models in those Columns, so these are John's personal models that he used down each of the Rows.
1993: It was at this point that John decided to officially call The Zachman Framework™: Enterprise Architecture - A Framework. He'd been using the term "Enterprise Architecture" for some time and felt convinced that people would be more willing to accept his ideas about Enterprise-wide architecture as opposed to Information Systems Architecture.
This version is still a minor carry-over from the 1987 article since it is only 3 columns. John used only the first three columns when teaching about The Framework because of the dominant I/S perspective that still existed at this time.
Notice that in this version is the first to use the adjectives "Contextual," "Conceptual," "Logical," "Physical" and "Out-of Context" defining the Rows.
Column 2, Row 3 "Business Process Model" came from the 1990 book. Re-engineering the Corporation which popularized the words "Business Process."
There were some minor problems with this Framework which were actually rooted back from its inception. The first (noted earlier) is the use of the Chen Diagram in Column 1, Row 2. This is still a composite model - the diamond indicates a process (or verb). The Column 2, Rows 2 & 3 IDEF0 notation is also a composite model- the vertical arrows represent controls and mechanisms on the process model making it a composite model as well. Also notice the Column 1, Row 4 model (IMS Root-Segment) is a hierarchy, which is a problem because nothing can be normalized in a hierarchy. Each of these models were changed in later versions.
Also, notice the map in Column 3, Row 1 changed from a US map (1992 version) to a World map because of John's first seminar in Australia. This representation is a very inaccurate model because the map is an instantiation which belongs in Row 6 - see more detail about this below in the 2004 version.
1993: Several of John's friends from the Business Rules community persistently pressed him to talk about "The Other 3 Columns," because that is where the "Business Rules" were originally. This "version," while not widely distributed was part of John's lecture series on "What is Enterprise Architecture" as evidenced by the title of this version: Enterprise Architecture- The Other Three Columns.
2001: During this time, Enterprise Architecture was really gaining ground based on John's thoughts about the subject. Fully recognized as The Zachman Framework™, this version was very widely distributed and had many of the refinements from the previous 10 years of research.
In particular, notice the model in Column 1, Row 2 is no longer a Chen Diagram. Removal of the "diamond," or process (verb) made this model "primitive." Also, the controls and mechanisms (vertical arrows) were removed from the process models in Column 2, Rows 2 & 3.
As you can also see, while Row 6 existed, the Functioning Enterprise wasn't fully acknowledged as part of The Framework yet, but John was re-thinking this idea heavily. Without Row 6, people tend to embed instances in their architecture making it very inflexible. The instance (when embedded in the higher Rows) will bind things together. Proper nouns belong in Row 6 and generally mean you have in instance. Common nouns imply you have a set. Abstractions belong in the first five Rows- instances belong in Row 6 (i.e.: Stockholm can not be in Row 1 because it is an instance of capital cities. Stockholm belongs in Row 6, because it is the instantiation of the scoping context of capital cities which would be in Row 1).
In addition, to John's regret, he named Column 1 "Data," which he feels inaccurately continued to classify The Zachman Framework™ as a Framework for Information Systems despite having "Enterprise Architecture" titled across the top. In fact, most of the terminology in this Framework is I/S related while also containing quite a few adjectives which makes its directive less precise.
2002: Developed in 2002, this graphic was developed by Intervista Institute in Canada, whom we still work with extensively. This was a HUGE upgrade in aesthetics and graphic design. While this representation of The Framework was the most attractive aesthetically, it still contained Information Systems terminology, adjectives, a minimized Row 6 and the IDEF0 notation in Column 2, Row 2.
One significant improvement in this version however, is the use of the black to white gradient between the cells - which works its way down the columns. This gradient significantly emphasized that there is more going on with The Framework than just a matrix. This de-emphasized people's misperception that working your way down the columns is merely an increase in granularity. This is still a HUGE misconception about The Zachman Framework™ and the black to white gradient was an attempt to correct this fundamental misinterpretation. The movement down each column has nothing to do with granularity; it has everything to do with transformation.
This Framework illustration helped emphasize the Columns.
2003: Developed at roughly the same time period, this is probably the most widely distributed copy of The Zachman Framework™ because of its development during the time when ZIFA existed. Some of the ZIFA partners, other than John, were unsatisfied with the Intervista version (above) which was a more aesthetically pleasing version and showed Transformation black-to-white gradient banding down the Columns. The objection was related to the predominant Intervista advertising despite the ZIFA logo on the right. Therefore, they commissioned this version, which surprisingly reverted to the earlier graphic and that only had reference to ZIFA.
This Framework does have some significant shortcomings. It still contains I/S terminology, not the current Enterprise terminology, in addition to an extensive use of less-precise adjectives (which proliferates ambiguity in interpretation) and a minimized Row 6, even worse than the Intervista version above.
Most surprisingly however, notice that the IDEF0 notation made its way back into Column 2, Rows 2 & 3 which violated the fundamental rule of The Framework about no cell containing composite constructs. The vertical arrows make those processes dependent on some control or mechanism which destroys the primitive (or "Periodic Table") idea of The Framework. John had made this correction in his 2001 version above, but it unfortunately came back in this version.
In addition, the colors of Rows 2 and 3 became inverted.
Because of the colors of each Row, this Framework illustration emphasizes the Rows.
2003: Developed in 2003, this graphic was a minor variation of the graphic from 2002 (above), also developed by Intervista Institute in Canada. This representation is most certainly the most pleasing aesthetically.
The changes were minor from the previous version- it still contained Information Systems terminology, adjectives and a minimized Row 6. However, the most significant improvement in this version however, is the use of the gradient color banding across the Rows and down the Columns. This gradient color banding between each cell best illustrates the concepts of Integration (across the Rows) and Transformations (down the Columns) above all previous versions of The Framework.
Also, the IDEF0 notation was changed in Column 2, Row 2, in addition to the model in Column 5, Row 2 was changed to a "circular" icon which did not convey the idea of "event-cycle-event" very well and was subsequently changed.
This Framework illustration emphasized both the Rows and Columns.
2004: After significant research starting in 2001, this copy of The Zachman Framework™, also known as The Zachman Framework2™, was developed in 2004 and is fairly recognizable. The most notable changes are the migration away from I/S terminology to Enterprise Architecture terminology. The use of nouns also makes this version dramatically more precise, in addition to introducing the use of set theory because of the use of nouns. Each model is carefully defined, and a complete Row 6 wraps up the 6th phase of reification (the 2000 year old process for turning an abstract idea into reality: Identification-Row 1, Definition-Row 2, Representation-Row 3, Specification-Row 4, Configuration-Row 5 and Instantiation-Row 6), further proving The Framework's fundamental concept of abstraction, not granularity, in the transformation process down each column - an idea (or Scope-Row 1) has to go through 6 phases in order to reach reality (Operations-Row 6). It also forces architects to get embedded instances out of their architecture and make sure instances are only recorded in Row 6 (see 2001 version above). The Enterprise is comprised of Rows 1-6, Enterprise Architecture is comprised of Rows 1-5.
Also, this version further moved Enterprise Architecture out of the I/T domain and shifted it back into the business domain where John had originally intended. It depicts business architectural principles by clearly defining that the top three Rows deal with the business ideas, while the bottom three Rows deal with operations reality. This concept defines dramatically more practical ideas of Enterprise Architecture to executive management.
There is one small flaw with it however, the picture (or model) of the globe in Column 3, Row 1 (Network Identification) is grossly inaccurate. The inaccuracy is in the fact that the globe is a representation of a physical place, which is an instantiation (Row 6) of the scope (Row 1). The Row 1 models are all lists, not instances. If anything, the picture (or model) of the globe belongs in Row 6. While this was done as more of a tribute to the original Framework (see above), John was quick to point out this would lead to potential confusion in the Framework fundamental concept and was subsequently changed in the next version.
2008: This is the current and most accurate version of The Zachman Framework™ and is the version available at no cost to anyone who registers for The Zachman Framework™ Standards. As you can see, it is the purest graphical representation containing all the improvements in the evolution and research on Enterprise Architecture and The Zachman Framework™ over the last 10 years. This version's improvements include the removal of the globe model in Column 3, Row 1 (see above), no adjectives, precise noun names, Enterprise terminology, no I/S terminology, accurate models with no Instantiations other than in Row 6 and is the elaboration of both the Enterprise and Normative Zachman Frameworks™.
The terminology in the outside dark blue have been carefully selected to include names from the Enterprise and Normative Zachman Frameworks™, giving EXTREMELY precise meaning to The Enterprise Framework and Enterprise Architecture in general. The terminology in the previous version (above 2004) contains only language from the Enterprise Framework. As you can see with the current version, Enterprise Architecture is extremely well defined when coupled with the language from the Normative Zachman Framework™.
It is from this version that Enterprise Architecture Standards were definitively expressed and the idea of the Enterprise Architecture Ontology (theory of existence equal to the Periodic Table of Elements) could be realized.
2008: This is also the most current evolution of The Zachman Framework™developed and is the version handed out to anyone who attends the Complete MasterClass in the Zachman Certified™ – Enterprise Architect program, which makes this representation a bit of a collector's item because of it's limited availability through the Zachman Courses.
It is virtually no different than the previous representation, but is a bit special. This is John's personal elaboration of The Zachman Framework™ because of the color of the models in each Row. The models of The Framework actually would not contain colors, however John uses this particular version with color models as a teaching tool to re-enforce the idea that whatever the Owners have in mind (Row 2 - Business Concepts - Orange) is what is actually instantiated in the Enterprise (Row 6 - Operations Instance Classes - Orange).
Concluding Thoughts on Change
It is important to keep in mind that throughout this "Evolution," The Zachman Framework™ that you see today is NOT a new Framework- it is a new Framework graphic.
What has changed?
What had NOT changed?
The Zachman Framework™ is a classification theory about the nature of an Enterprise and the kinds of "Things" (entities) that have existence in an Enterprise. Therefore, The Framework is the ENTERPRISE ONTOLOGY.

Beacham lined up against stars including Linda Evans and Joan Collins as Sable Colby during the programme's original run in the 1980s.
Dynasty was dropped in 1989 after nine seasons as ratings plummeted, but Beacham has now revealed the stars of the show are eyeing a return following the relaunch of rival TV show Dallas, which was revived last year with its original surviving cast and a slew of new faces.
Beacham tells British TV show Loose Women, ""Joan and I have been talking about it and we need a little bit of a response and a little bit of encouragement (from the fans). I can just see Joan in one turret, and Linda in another, and me in another, and then all the youngsters can do all the busy stuff and we'll just plot and plan.""

Gonzaga will celebrate the 10th anniversary of the Battle in Seattle by welcoming Kansas State to the KeyArena this winter.
The game, set for December 15, will be just the third all-time meeting between the two schools. The teams played each other in 2010 in the semifinal of the CBE Classic in Kansas City, with the Wildcats winning 81-64. Their first meeting was in 1994 in the second round of the NIT. Kansas State won that one 66-64.
Both schools reached the round of 32 in the East Region of last season's NCAA Tournament. The Bulldogs routed West Virginia before falling to 2nd seeded Ohio State, 73-66. Kansas State defeated Southern Mississippi in their opening game but then lost to #1 seed Syracuse, 75-59.
Kansas State will have a new head coach in 2012-13, but he will be no stranger to the State Farm Battle in Seattle. Bruce Weber will be the first opposing coach to return to the sidelines of annual neutral game, having coached Illinois to a 73-61 victory in the 2010 event.
"This is a great opportunity to test our team against one of the best in the country in a great venue," said Kansas State head coach Weber. "Mark (Few) has built Gonzaga into an annual NCAA Tournament contender and he will again have another strong club in 2012-13. I think these types of games are a huge benefit to your team especially to a veteran club like we have coming back in the fall."
Tickets for the State Farm Battle in Seattle will go on sale Monday, September 17th at all Ticketmaster outlets. The exclusive pre-sale will begin on Monday, September 10th through Spokane-area Ticketmaster outlets or by obtaining a special pre-sale code.

VIDEO: Man records one second every day for a year
Matt Skuta recorded one second of his life every day for a year, starting Dec. 18, 2012. Skuta posted the finished product on YouTube on Dec. 17, 2013 and his video captures the beautiful mundanity of life.
Skuta's video shows viewers everything ranging from car washes to a trip to the Capitol to his stitches. At one second per segment, it's impossible to get bored, and the variety of shots shows how pretty rain looks on pavement or how sweet it is to see a happy dog frolic on the lawn.
Even just second-by-second, Skuta manages to paint a narrative – it's achingly sad when of his dogs goes missing from the dog bed and it's hard not to cringe when he's in the hospital getting stitches on his chin. YouTube user Cesar Kuriyama created a similar video last year, which inspired Skuta to create his own, but Skuta's video shows that everyone has their own 365 moments in a year.

Disney turns space blaster on LucasArts
After purchasing the Lucasfilm rights from founder George Lucas, The Mouse has decided to shut down the game division.
Not even Obi-Wan Kenobi could have saved this game studio.
When Disney (DIS) acquired the entire Star Wars franchise last fall, many wondered what would become of the beloved saga.
The studio quickly announced that three new Star Wars films were in development. J.J. Abrams, famous for directing two Star Trek films and for creating a number of hit TV shows, will helm the new trilogy.
Other directors are expected to take on a handful of Star Wars spin-offs, TV shows and other projects.
While this may not sound like the most productive way to use the Star Wars license, consumers will have to wait until the projects are finished before they can fully judge Disney's decisions.
Unfortunately, there has already been one casualty. Lucasfilm may be in full production mode, but LucasArts -- George Lucas' game division, which was acquired as part of the buyout last fall -- has been shut down.According to Computerworld, LucasArts still exists as one of the many divisions at Disney. However, Disney has halted production of all games at the studio, indicating that LucasArts' days are numbered.
Lucasfilm spokeswoman Barbara Gamlen told Computerworld that "no decisions have been made yet" regarding the studio's future. "We've moved to a different structure and are considering whether we market under the LucasArts brand name."
At this point, however, that seems very unlikely. According to CNN and Game Informer, the studio has been shut down. While it is not yet known how many individuals will lose their jobs, layoffs are expected across the board.
Disney reportedly intends to use third-party developers to develop fresh Star Wars games. This is a very different strategy from the one Disney employed last decade, when it acquired Climax Racing and other studios to beef up its game lineup. Disney also pulled Pixar game development away from THQ to publish those games internally.
The studio took things one step further when it acquired Junction Point Studios from Warren Spector, a man best known for the Deus Ex franchise. Spector was famous for creating dark, adult-oriented video games, but he was overjoyed to be working with Disney.
"I believe that the creative talents of our two companies and our shared ambition to bring distinctive, compelling experiences to gamers make this an ideal alliance," Spector told 1Up in 2007. "We look forward to bringing exciting, innovative, and entertaining new experiences to gamers and Disney fans alike."
After releasing two Epic Mickey games, Disney shut down Junction Point Studios. Disney also shut down three other studios -- Propaganda Games, Climax (known as Black Rock Studios) and Fall Line Studios, which was merged into a remaining division.
Disney eventually caved and moved Pixar game duties back to a third-party developer. In 2012, the studio turned to Behaviour Interactive to develop the video game based on Brave. Disney also enlisted in the help of Activision (ATVI) to produce and promote the Wreck-It Ralph video game.
Observers suspect that by closing LucasArts, Disney will cease production of Star Wars 1313, one of the most anticipated games to bear the Star Wars name. However, a Lucasfilm representative told Game Informer that the title could be saved and "come out via licensing."

Muse has released a lyrics video for their next single, " Follow Me ," from their recently-released album, The 2nd Law . In the four-minute clip, the lyrics to the song appear on the screen as psychedelic lights and images flash around them.
Frontman Matt Bellamy has said that the track was inspired by a trip to the doctor's office with his then-pregnant wife, Kate Hudson . "A couple of days before Kate gave birth [to Bingham ] we went for a check-up and I recorded [my baby's heartbeat] on my iPhone as I thought it was an amazing sound," Bellamy told U.K. newspaper The Sun . "Then I wrote the lyrics about wanting to lead and protect, all the feelings that having a kid evokes."

Have you found yourself buying more Blu-ray discs this year?
Sales of Blu-ray discs rose 91 percent to $407 million in the first half of 2009, according to the Digital Entertainment Group (DEG). Nearly 20 million Blu-ray discs shipped in the second quarter alone.
Blu-ray hardware sales surpassed two million units in the first half, marking nearly 25 percent growth over the same period from 2008. According to DEG, there are nearly 11 million Blu-ray devices in homes in the U.S., including PlayStation 3 consoles. Nearly 75 percent of those units are BD-Live compatible.
Managed copy is coming to Blu-ray in 2010, allowing consumers to legally make one copy of each Blu-ray disc they own. However, there won't be Blu-ray players that allow them to do so until the first or second quarter of 2010.
"Despite an extraordinarily challenging marketplace, the home entertainment sector continues to be remarkably stable overall, particularly with the growth of higher margin businesses like Blu-ray and digital distribution," says Ron Sanders, who is president of DEG and president of Warner Home Video.
DVD Sales
DEG says nearly five million DVD players were sold in the second quarter of '09. This brings the total amount of DVD players sold since the format's inception in 1997 to more than 260 million, according to DEG.
Spending for pre-recorded entertainment dropped 3.9 percent year-over-year to $9.73 billion in the first half of 2009, according to the DEG. Pre-recorded entertainment covers DVD, Blu-ray and digital distribution. Digital distribution was up 21 percent to $968 million, while rental spending rose 8.3 percent.

Date: October 3, 2013
To: School District Superintendents, Charter School Directors, Business Managers
From: Tom Melcher, Director, School Finance Division
Subject: Aid and Tax Shift Buyback Update
Laws 2013, Chapter 116, Article 7, Section 20, provides that any state unrestricted fund balance as of June 30, 2013, be directed first, to increase the current year state aid payment percentage up to 90 percent, and second, to reduce the percentage of early levy recognition (tax shift). The commissioner of Minnesota Management and Budget has certified to the commissioner of Education the amount available to implement these changes for the biennium is $636 million.
Based on this estimate, the department will implement the change from 86.4 percent current year state aid payments to 90 percent in the October 15 state aid payment period. School districts will see an increase in the October 15 state aid payment equal to approximately 27 percent of the difference between state aid metered entitlements at 90 percent less the general reduction and state aid metered entitlements at 86.4 percent less the general reduction. The remainder of the increase will occur incrementally based on statutory percentages in Minnesota Statutes, section 127A.45, throughout the remainder of the year.
Remaining funds will be used to decrease the tax shift percentage from the current level of 48.6 percent. Under Minnesota Statutes, section 127A.441, tax shift adjustments to aid occur as late in the fiscal year as possible. Therefore, the tax shift pay back resulting from the decreased tax shift percentage will occur on June 20, 2014.
The change in the tax shift percentage will also affect the receipts used in the metering formula for allocating 90 percent current payments among pay periods. This will slightly impact the timing of metered payments during the remainder of the fiscal year. This change will be implemented in the October 30 state aid payment period.
With the change to 90 percent current aid payments, provisions of Minnesota Statutes, section 124D.11, Subdivision 9 (a), will also be implemented to return charter schools to a 24-period payment schedule July 15 through June 30, rather than the 16-period payment schedule July 15 through February 28. In a July 16 memo to superintendents, directors and business managers, charter schools were advised that in the event of implementation, the schools will have been over advanced state aid, because the 16-period schedule was established based on a 60 percent current year payment percentage to closely duplicate a 90 percent current year payment percentage for the periods July 15 through February 28. With the current year payment percentage at 86.4 percent, each current year payment to charter schools through the September 30 payment period has been about 43 percent more than would occur at a 90 percent current payment schedule for 24-payment periods. As a result, charter schools will not receive a current year payment for two to three payment periods until they are due state aid based on the 24-period schedule.
Initial cash flow projections for the remainder of the fiscal year will be provided with the October 15 IDEAS payment. Revised cash flow projections reflecting updated tax shift information will be provided with the October 30 IDEAS payment. Contact Audrey Bomstad at email@example.com if you have questions regarding this information.

Doppelgangaz 'HARK'
Stream what's likely to be one of my albums of the year here. Then read on for the duo's highly important musings on Drake and cows and cats.
What's the meaning behind all the cows that feature in the "Oh Well" video?
EP: We tried to tie in the fact that you look at human beings and we pretty much have the free will to do what we please and make any types of decisions we want. Then you have animals like cows. Whether or not a cow is on a farm or not, they barely do anything; they don't do a damn thing. Yet at the end of the day we're all heading to the same place. Credit to Drake, you might as well get that YOLO lifestyle going on 'cause, honestly man, who knows what happens after this? You look at a cow, you don't have to live like that being bound behind a metal fence eating out of a trough. You might as well get that YOLO, player!
Matter ov Fact: We like to find a cool spot and document it when we're in video mode. The cows were just literally on the road, hanging over. Also, I feel like it adds to the dramatics of the track: The cows are there but they're gonna end up in the slaughterhouse and however you wanna put it everyone's gonna die so enjoy yourself on Earth.
If the Doppelgangaz had an animal as a mascot, what would it be?
Matter ov Fact: That would have to be a shark, definitely.
EP: I guess the appropriate answer would be a shark, but if it was up to me, I'm a cat lover. I'd have a nice sweet little cat. We're just nice guys who like to eat, relax and chill.

Vitamins are essential to keeping our bodies and minds in the best possible shape. Unfortunately, it is often difficult to get exactly the nutrition we need from our diet. The stresses and business of everyday life sometimes conspire to make us eat things we should not, or skip meals entirely. One of the essential elements to our health are the B vitamins. It has been found that these are necessary for the proper functioning of our minds, and if we are deficient in these vitamins, we can experience any number of problems, among them panic attacks.
We live in a very stressful society, and our bodies often need more of these important vitamins just to handle day to day living. If you couple an insufficient level of the B vitamins with stress and strain, you could easily be setting yourself up for panic attacks. Besides panic attacks, a deficiency of vitamin B can also lead to tiredness, irritability, and mental unrest. These last factors can also contribute to the development of panic attacks, too.
The necessary B vitamins are B1 (thiamine), B2 (riboflavin), B3 (niacin), B5 (pantothenic acid), B6 (pyridoxal phosphate), B8 (inositol), and B12 (cobalamin). These vitamins are all important for many bodily functions, and especially for neurological well-being. A vitamin supplement will help balance the needs of your body, but an adjustment in diet can also provide relief from panic attacks.
While almost everyone loves to eat sweets such as cakes and candy, these foods use up more than their share of B vitamins. White bread is also a culprit as far as this goes. The changes in blood sugar that eating sweets causes can easily contribute to anxiety and panic attacks. You should try to eliminate, or at least cut back, your intake of caffeine beverages and alcohol, as these can affect your nerves. Other foods to avoid are chocolate, eggplants, tomatoes, and strong spices.
Eating certain foods, and keeping the meals small, but frequent will often help to keep anxiety levels lower, and hopefully forestall a panic attack. Generally, whole grains rather than refined ones should be eaten. Vegetables and fruit are also great for providing B vitamins, especially green, leafy vegetables. Meat, fish, cheese and other dairy products all help supply these vitamins necessary to keep your body and mind in balance. This is not one of those diets that cause such deprivation that it is impossible to follow for the long term, most of the foods that you enjoy and already eat are included, it is only a very few things that it would be best to avoid, as they contribute to panic attacks.

CASA GRANDE, Ariz. (AP) - Authorities have released the names of two men killed in the crash of a private plane at Casa Grande Municipal Airport in southern Arizona.
The twin-engine Beechcraft Air King went down Wednesday morning as it was landing and burst into flames north of a runway.
The Pinal County Medical Examiner's Office officially identified the victims Friday as 51-year-old Stephen J. Stafford of Green Valley and 65-year-old Del V. Steinbronn of Tucson.
Authorities say Stafford was a certified flight instructor while Steinbronn was a retired private practice urologist. They say both men had many years of flight experience and died from injuries sustained from the crash's impact.
The small plane was registered to a Tucson company.
The crash is being investigated by the Federal Aviation Administration and National Transportation Safety Board.

Ten Apples Up on Top! (I Can Read It All by Myself Beginner Books)by Dr. Seuss
Synopses & Reviews
Publisher Comments:
A beginning Beginner Book, this ingenious story uses a vocabulary of only 75 different words. "A hilarious story in rhyme about a number of animals who could carry 10 apples on their heads." Elementary English.
About the Author
"A person's a person, no matter how small," Theodor Seuss Geisel, a.k.a. Dr. Seuss, would say. "Children want the same things we want. To laugh, to be challenged, to be entertained and delighted."
Brilliant, playful, and always respectful of children, Dr. Seuss charmed his way into the consciousness of four generations of youngsters and parents. In the process, he helped millions of kids learn to read.
Dr. Seuss was born Theodor Geisel in Springfield, Massachusetts, on March 2, 1904. After graduating from Dartmouth College in 1925, he went to Oxford University, intending to acquire a doctorate in literature. At Oxford, Geisel met Helen Palmer, whom he wed in 1927. Upon his return to America later that year, Geisel published cartoons and humorous articles for Judge, the leading humor magazine in America at that time. His cartoons also appeared in major magazines such as Life, Vanity Fair, and Liberty. Geisel gained national exposure when he won an advertising contract for an insecticide called Flit. He coined the phrase, "Quick, Henry, the Flit!" which became a popular expression.
Geisel published his first children's book, And to Think That I Saw It on Mulberry Street, in 1937, after 27 publishers rejected it.
Winner of the Pulitzer Prize in 1984, an Academy Award, three Emmy Awards, three Grammy Awards, and three Caldecott Honors, Geisel wrote and illustrated 44 books. While Theodor Geisel died on September 24, 1991, Dr. Seuss lives on, inspiring generations of children of all ages to explore the joys of reading.

I just bought this pattern yesterday and stumbled across your website to see if I could find how to get started or how to work with a pattern for the first time. I love your dress and I hope mine turns out anywhere near that good. Keep up the good work.

You've done a magnificent job on this … It looks soooo professional … Your dress form seems to have also paid for itself already! :) I can't imagine sewing this one without a form … or a VERY patient friend who would stay with you to help with such perfect fitting. It also shows off you beautiful figure too. :)
Jan 24, 2012, 02.54 AMby sewmelove
gorgeous dress!!!! I want this! :) I have a very similar fabric, linen blend, with the same purple/pink florals… i bought 1.15m for a Vogue dress, but realised afterwards I actually needed 1.6m! So now I have 1.15m of fabric to use for another project. How much fabric did this dress need?
Jan 28, 2012, 04.09 AMby danii97
i actually had only 1 yard! It was the end of the bolt, and i was hoping i had enough.. but i ended up have some left over! I think 1 yard converts to a little short of a meter

This craft, dubbed the SAX-40 design is also "35% more fuel efficient than any airliner currently flying."
The design is a radical departure from current aircraft. The new craft is cheap cialis with overnight shipping wedge shaped, rather than the familiar tube configuration of current airliners, with the wings extending from that shape. This contributes to the efficiency of the craft, however this also makes it more difficult for aircraft manufacturers to link for you buy real levitra online build shorter or longer versions of the same plane without redesigning the entire vehicle. Maintenance would also be more difficult because the engines would be less accessible to ground-crews.
Even if these obstacles can be overcome, the earliest this airplane might come into service is expected to be around 2030. By then, hopefully the things will run on hydrogen, and we won't have to worry so much about fuel economy.
