The Corner scoops National Geographic ad brief
National Geographic Channels International has appointed The Corner to handle a global campaign for the launch of a new series.
NGCI: global campaign
The Corner, which was appointed without a pitch, will create a campaign for the as-yet-unconfirmed series in May. Work will involve TV, print and digital activity, as well as a live event.
Emanuele Madeddu, the vice-president of creative and consumer marketing at NGCI, said: "We love the creative idea that The Corner has presented and are excited about going into production."
NGCI is owned by Fox International Channels and has a portfolio of six channels that include the main National Geographic Channel, Nat Geo Wild and Nat Geo Adventure.
Neil Simpson, a founding partner at The Corner, said: "This innovative series is a big step forward for the National Geographic Channel."
The former Publicis London executives Simpson and Tom Ewart, alongside Grey's former chief strategy officer Neil Hourston, founded The Corner in January 2012.
Walker Media was reappointed to NGCI's £3 million media planning and buying business in August last year.
The media agency planned and bought the NGCI's largest-ever ad campaign to promote its autumn season of programming, including Doomsday Preppers.

Lynn Hume Stuart '60 cannot drive by the entrance to the College without feeling at home. "I get a psychological lift every time," she said. "It's a beautiful campus, but there is so much more to it than that. There is tradition and the people. I'm proud of this place."
After serving for 10 years on the Board of Trustees, Stuart will be stepping down this year. Trustees may only serve two terms consecutively. What she will not do is disappear. Stuart, who lives in Lynchburg, plans to remain involved on campus.
A history major, Stuart met her future husband Bill during her junior year, and the two married shortly after she graduated. She pursued graduate work while he was in the military, and she taught at Virginia Tech when he attended graduate school there. They moved to Lynchburg in 1963 when he was hired at Wiley|Wilson, an engineering firm.
"This College prepared me for my life," she said. "I learned how to do research and how to write well. It gave me a broad perspective on the world."
Stuart was involved with the College for years before joining the Board of Trustees. She was one of the first docents at the College's Maier Museum of Art. She also served as president of the Alumnae Association and co-owned a local travel business with Marie Woody Harris '57.
A Texas native and mother of three, Stuart began her tenure on the Board of Trustees as a way to be more involved with her alma mater. She served on various committees including the Buildings and Grounds Committee and the Facilities Master Plan Committee.
"She really has a genuine interest in the future of the College, particularly how the campus will develop over the next 20 years," said Rick Barnes, a psychology and environmental studies professor who worked on the Facilities Master Plan with Stuart. "She brought a perfect balance of seriousness and purpose but was also able to keep things in perspective."
Stuart enjoyed being a part of the planning process. The 10-year plan, which was approved by the Board in 2008, will guide Randolph College's future growth. "It was interesting to get input from faculty and students and staff and to see it all evolve," she said. "Being involved in something from start to finish was satisfying. So many master plans go on the shelf. This one is being used, and it's being considered when we build for future growth. It is a workable plan."
Stuart is looking forward to watching Randolph grow during the coming years. "This College has really shown that it has staying power and values that are going to persist," she said. "We have an amazing group of people here."

Highly Sensitive People
Are you a Highly Sensitive Person?
Many people are very sensitive to other people's energies find life to be a challenge.
With the constant increase of Electromagnetic radiation, (also called electrosmog or ellectro pollution) more and more people are reporting strange health issues and feeling quite baffled by what's happening to them. We have researched a lot of studies on electromagnetic sensitivity to help you discover if that's an issue for you.
There's another type of sensitivity that can be equally devastating and confusing to those suffering from it. Many people are Highly Sensitive People and are greatly affected by the stresses, emotions and negativity of other people.
A large number of people who come to us are suffering as highly sensitive people. Some of them are at the end of their rope and beginning to think maybe they really are just crazy. Estimates from Elaine Aron and Rose Rosetree, author on several groundbreaking books on Empaths, are that 15-20% of the people walking around today are highly sensitive. This sensitivity can dramatically impact your ability to cope with the ever increasing chaos and energy in the world today.
We're including some articles on the subject and also some experiences of Shield wearers whose lives have changed because of the Shield.
If you're a Highly Sensitive Person or an empath, we encourage you to get a Shield and experience the difference for yourself.

Shield Reviews
"I seem to have weathered a 10-hour time change with a minimum of jet lag in both directions. While I am getting a lot less sleep per night, my energy has not flagged. My thinking is clear, and calm, not irritable. During the last 2 months I have been closely exposed to many people who have had colds and flu. In spite of being extremely busy, in spite of having taken a grueling trip to Israel and back, and in spite of having to endure a difficult and stressful home life, I have not had one day of illness since wearing the Shield. I am flabbergasted!"

Texas Congressman and GOP presidential candidate Ron Paul claims he never read the racism-tinged newsletters that bore his name in the 1980s and 1990s, but a direct-mail newsletter solicitation sent out over his signature claimed authorship and warned potential contributors of what he called an approaching "race war in our big cities" and claimed a "federal-homosexual" conspiracy to conceal the dangers of AIDS.
"Save yourself and your family," Paul urged in the letter, sent out after he lost a re-election bid and before he returned to Congress.
He added:
While on Capitol Hill, I developed extraordinary sources in House and Senate committees, the White House, the Treasury, the Fed, the Justice Department, and even the IRS. These patriotic Americans won't talk to the liberal media but they do trust me and they want you to know what's really happening.
Paul continues:
That's why I wrote Surviving the New Money. That's why I publish the Ron Paul Investment Letter and the Ron Paul Political Report. To protect middle-class Americans and their savings from the federal shears.
The publications contained frequent racist remarks, anti-Semitic diatribes and flagrant homophobia.
The newsletters referred to the Martin Luther King national holiday as "Hate Whitey Day," called gays "fags" and "queers" and warned of a "Jewish conspiracy to destroy America."
Paul's story about his involvement with the newsletters has changed over the last two decades, ranging from claims that his comments were "taken out of context" to the current spin that he didn't write them, never read them and now disavows them.
But former Paul aides tell Capitol Hill Blue the Texas Congressman and twice-failed Presidential candidate was "heavily involved" in deciding the themes of the newsletter and personally approved each issue before they went out in the mail.
"He read them, every line of them," says former aide Eric Dondero, who confirms each issue was faxed to Paul for review and approval.
"He would sign them at the bottom of the last page, giving his OK before faxing them back to the printer," Dondero says.
Other former Paul aides confirm Dondero's recollection of Paul's involvement with the newsletters.
When questions about the content of the newsletters arose during a Congressional election campaign in 1996, Paul did not deny writing or approving the content. Instead he told The Dallas Morning News that the content was "taken out of context."
In a 1995 interview with C-SPAN, Paul touted the newsletters he claimed he never read.
The solicitation letter sent out by Paul urged subscribers to subscribe to the Ron Paul Political Report and the Ron Paul Investment Letter.
"Each month I give you the trustworthy information, analysis and recommendations you need to protect yourself, and increase our wealth, in the 1990s," Paul says in the letter. "As the only former high official to publish a financial letter, I supply facts and analysis available nowhere else."
The letter plays on paranoia, warning readers about "an IRS agent with an AK-47."
"While muggers, robbers and racists run free on the streets, the power of the state is focused on you." the letter says.
Paul continues:
I've been told not to talk, but these stooges don't scare me. Threats or no threats, I've laid bare the coming race war in our big cities. the federal-homosexual coverup on AIDS (my training as a physician helps me see through this one). The Bohemian Grove — perverted, pagan playground of the powerful. Skull & Bones: the demonic fraternity that includes George Bush and leftist Senator John Kerry, Congress's Mr. New Money. The Israeli lobby, which plays Congress like a cheap harmonica.
Paul also urges readers to cash in on catastrophe:
A liberal clergyman sneered: "Isn't it immoral to benefit from catastrophe?" I told him, "No, not if you didn't cause it." In fact, the few who preserve and even increase their wealth in the coming chaos will be needed to rebuild America."
Salvation and wealth, the letter says, is available for just $99, which in return will bring a special report ("Surviving the New Money) along with an annual subscription to the Ron Paul Investment Letter and the Ron Paul Political Report). A two-year subscription was available for $189 or readers could get three years for $279.
While there is no evidence that subscribers got rich from information in the newsletter, Paul pulled down close to a million dollars a year in the heyday of the publications.
When asked on CNN this week about the money he made from the newsletter, Paul walked off the set.
When asked about the fundraising letter, Paul's Iowa campaign chairman Drew Ivers said Paul does not deny material distributed over his signature but still claimed the candidate knew nothing about the actual content of the newsletters.

The only candidate who wants to bring our troops home from Iraq, Afghanistan, and 900+ military bases around the world, now wants to start a race war at home?
The candidate who thinks that before going to war the President and the Congress ought to finally be bound by Article I, Section 8 of the Constitution, now wants to ignite a race war?
Pathetic, Chicago Tribune, pathetic.
I am a veteran and I am still voting for Ron Paul.
"Texas Congressman and twice-failed Presidential candidate"
And Ron Paul will soon be the thrice-failed Presidential candidate.
It seems that Congressman Paul is just another Republican. He speaks the same words I heard living in Arizona. I moved back to California and Dr. Paul has lost my support. I still want individual freedoms from my White House and not all this horse pucky use of labels.
Oh well, scratch the surface of a religious Republican and the same crap oozes out. I am sorry.
One might reasonably argue that the Paul forecast of a race war is being made true… as is a forecast of class warfare, if the Occupier in the White House gets his way. The IN-Justice dept is seeing to it.
Individual freedom is exactly Paul's message:
It's important to note:
Eric Dondero was fired from the Paul campaign and is described as a disgruntled former employee. He also ran against Paul in the primaries in 2008. It would be prudent to list other former/current staffers that agree with his statements and have more credibility.
The IRS has SWAT teams. Heck, the Department of Education has SWAT teams. An M4 isn't far from an AK-47. Both are semi-automatic "assault rifles" capable of delivering a dose of hot lead with each trigger pull. I suspect the use of AK-47 was to give the image of them being leftist communists, which would have fit with the boogeyman of the time period.
The FBI now says anyone that insists on using cash should be suspected of terrorism.
There is a theory that Polio vaccines may have been the cause of the AIDS pandemic. This theory is largely denounced and ignored, just like the theory that vaccines or vaccine regimens are the cause of autism. And darn that Jenny McCarthy for working to prove otherwise…
He was right about our currency, "…tinted pink and blue and brown, and blighted with holograms, diffraction gratings, metal and plastic threads, and chemical alarms," just pull out a five, ten or twenty dollar bill and compare it to one from the Eighties or Nineties. They are now tinted pink and blue and brown and have metal and plastic threads.
We are tracked via our purchases using our credit and debit cards. He warned of the "cashless society" we now have. How many of us carry cash when we have debit cards?
Since the introduction of bank cards, we have seen "the transfer of wealth and power from the people to the government and its friends" accelerate.
The Congress has enacted the "smartcard," but they called it the REAL ID Act of 2005. At least half the States are in open defiance of the law and will not abide by it. Now the Feds are pushing "PASS ID" which is really just the same thing in a friendlier name.
Many more people now are predicting "race wars" or "welfare riots" or whatever one wants to call it when those without decide to "get theirs" via force.
Turns out Ron Paul just didn't get the timing right. Things now are far worse than he imagined back then.
"The Israeli lobby, which plays Congress like a cheap harmonica." …extract from article
Seemingly Congressman Paul got this one right.
"No Viginia"…this is not an anti semitic remark on Paul's part, but an expression of political fact.
Carl Nemo **==
Everybody's got his own political spin… everybody else has an Ox that needs goring. Especially new frontrunners.
Thanks Almandine for the eye-opening link concerning minorities supporting Ron Paul regardless of this media sponsored flap concerning alleged racist newsletters written in the past.
I have a yellowed, twenty year old copy of "Surviving the New Money" by Ron Paul and reread the 15 page publication. It's simply about the subject of money and there's not a single racist remark within. Obviously people that are accusing him of racism within this document haven't read it. I suggest they locate a copy and so too enroll in a RIF program (Reading is Fundamental). / : |
I'd make a pact with the devil for my soul to save this nation if in the deal Ron Paul or any candidate could simply end these synthetic wars on two fronts against nouns; I.E., the 'war on drugs' and the 'war on terror'. There's no nation to parley or to sign a peace accord, so these engineered conflicts are a crimpols' dream come true in order to bleed this nation white with endless, MIC friendly debt, at our collective expense until the 12th of forever…!
It's time to put to rest their skewed dreams of 'Empire Americanus'. Political parasites along with the support of their 'think tank' facilitators are obsessed with this idea, having almost virtually destroyed the host organism; I.E., "We the People" in the process along with the greatest experiment in freedom and justice for all the world has ever known, the United States of America.
Carl Nemo **==
Liberty is a scary concept, and that fear is what keeps the politicians in business.
Have a very Merry Christmas Carl.
Thanks Almandine for the Season's Greeting and here's wishing the same back to you and yours.
Hopefully some day we shall have peace on earth and good will towards all men…no? : )
Carl Nemo **==
And anybody who rails against it is in trouble. Don't believe me… ask JFK.
"IT" being obtrusive, overreaching govt.
And Obama worshipped at a black liberation theology church for twenty years, but "didn't inhale."
Obama's 2008 campaign was a recitation of America's problems but no solutions, only "Hope."
Paul offers solutions.
Ron Paul a racist?
Blacks are against Ron Paul?

(WMC-TV) - An East Memphis icon celebrated a milestone birthday Sunday. Willie Herndon is a newspaper salesman who has become part of the family in the community he serves.
Not many paperboys get the kind of love Herndon gets from his customers.
"The people have gotten to know him, he's here every Sunday. You know, hot, cold he's always out here selling the paper, same corner," said helper Terry Boyd.
A loyalty he has earned during the 16 years selling the Sunday edition of the Commercial Appeal on Dexter Road.
"I know everybody out here," said Herndon.
This Sunday was more special than most.
Mr. Willie, as he is known by his customers, turned 101 years old.
Herndon is a retired Memphis city worker, who has seen a lot in Memphis during a century plus one.
"Changed a whole lot," said Herndon.
And according to family members, Herndon has a long way to go.
"Well I asked him once I said, 'Uncle Willie, don't you think it's time for you to slow down?' And he told me, 'No baby, if I slow down death might catch up with me,'" said niece Stella James.
As for his secret to longevity, that remains a secret.
Friends said Herndon comes to the corner with 150 papers and sells out every Sunday.
They said Sunday at least twice that many people stopped by to wish him a happy birthday.

Getting Real—and Fit—With One of the New Housewives of NYC
Written on May 31, 2012 at 12:16 pm , by Karla Walsh
All too often, every scene on reality TV seems to be about glamorous red carpet moments and fabulous, over-the-top trips. One of the latest additions to the cast of Bravo's Real Housewives of New York (catch the season five premiere on Monday), Aviva Drescher, will tell you that life can get messy. In fact, when we caught up with her, she was trying to manage a couple sick kids, all while doing phone interviews from her busy apartment.
Drescher knows how to overcome hard times: she lost her leg in a farming accident at age six. But hasn't let the amputation define the way she lives and the experience hasn't slowed her down one bit! Keep reading to learn more about how Drescher stays healthy and how she feels about the reality TV trend.
What has surprised you the most about taping a reality show?
It's 10 times more work than I had anticipated. I filmed 180 scenes, and 85 percent of that doesn't get used. It's not just going to lunch—filming is actually a really hard job! I don't want to roll out of bed in sweats since millions of people are potentially watching, so planning all of the outfits takes some time. Plus, Bravo doesn't provide hair and makeup. You're on your own with that.
The crew is really nice. There are so many people involved to make a great show—it's not just [executive producer] Andy Cohen and a camera!

Introductory note:
I called one of the accredited Multi TV installers last Thursday morning and by 5pm, the service was fully installed.
Channels as they appear:
The not-so-good; I'm assuming these listed glitches would be taken care of before Multi TV gets out of test transmission
The good
My verdict
Multi TV satellite information: Should you have 90-cm KU band satellite dish + a free-to-air decoder, you may attempt searching for MultiTV using the following information. Do well to let me know if it works.
Satellite: Intelsat 12
LNB Type: Type1
DiSEqC: None
Frequency: 12551
0/22KHz: Auto
LNB Power: On
NIT Search: No
Scan Mode: Sat
The details for the Multi-tv for those who does not know where intelsat 12 is are as follows:
Satellite:- ASTRA 2B/ EUROBIRD 1(28.5 E)
Frequency:- 12551
Symbol Rating :- 19519
Polarity:- V
Transmission :- DVB-S
FEC: – Auto
LNB Freq:- Univ. LNB 1
Have you attempted viewing MultiTV from a free-to-air decoder? What was the result?
Hey Bros,
That is a good job done indeed. Something is not clear hear. I called one of the operators at MultiTv and he confirmed that Joy news alternate the international news channels. The information i got from their dealers was different. the dealers are reporting something similar to your findings. so the question is which is which.
Will DSTV fight back to ensure CNN is not available 24/7 on MultiTv?
For how long will CNN continue to run?
Multimedia should come out to answer these questions.
So far so very good.
Dave, a big thank you for a good work done. I will try to see if multitv will work on free to air decorders.
Thanks for your kind words, Yaw.
I believe CNN is on 24/7 for the test transmission phase only and would be ultimately alternated on "Joy News".
Hi David, I tried searching for the multi TV signal using the the frequency given but wasn't sucessful. Can u please re-check the frequency, symbol rate and the polarity on your STB. Thanks
satellite name – Astra 2a
frequency- 12551
symbol rate – 19531
polization- vertical
I atempted it on strong receiver, I got only the radio channels. the tv channels are not showing. I am in Nigeria
Mr Olaniyi, this is a great work you are doing in giving us this information. thanks. Please can you tell me which of the stations in the multiTv will be showing all the FIFA 2010 work cup live? Thanks
DStv is great. But I wanted to find out if it is likely GBS would ever bounce back?
GBS is gone for good. The owners have liquidated the company. The Ghanaian subsidiary had their equipment auctioned just last week to offset some of their financial obligations.
Good work Niyyie! As I young Blogger, I want to ask you. Are you paid for these reviews?
Or you gain from from the traffic it generates to ur site? Great Bloggers brag about how they monetise theblog with paid reviews. Or it's social entrepreneurship. I mean your contribution to advancing Africa?
I do not get paid for these reviews. What I write is based on my individual assessment and opinion.
I would agree that its my contribution to mother Africa.
Will multi tv ever go scrambled?
Not to play the Devil's advocate or anything, but from your assessment, the whole Multi TV thing rather sounds like an experiment (to me).
I'm beginning to think it just might be another GBS waiting to happen. I really hope not, cos I for one wasn't too excited about the GBS disaster!
That said, I think I'll get a digi box and check it out.
it's been a week now since i purchase my digibox. So far so good. I will come out with my own assessment taken into account Mytv, GBS, and DSTV compact bouquet programming.
Hello all, i began to watch multitv a week after the launch and so far its been wonderful , i pray it would remain free as they say, multitv unlike other free to air packages in africa like sabc and mbc mauritius has more channels and is recivable in most part of africa with a min of 60 cm dish, in order to make profit i would suggest the mgt to device ways of making their reciever available to others outside ghana and by so doin be able to sustain the enterprise thank you
i got one for myself and i must say that i'm a bit disappointed cus it hasnt brought any additional excitement into my tv viewing. No local preachers, those on TBN seem to be raising funds every time. There local movies dates way back. I hope things will improve.
hey guys i tried it on my strong decoder but i'm getting only radio . whats up with that? i get all the multi tv channels on the radio on the decoder.
Well, at least you received something. I did not expect Multi TV to work well on Strong decoders since Multi TV has its on decoder. Are you in Ghana? What satellite configuration worked for you?
What model are you on? What angle did you use
It's funny cos i keyed in the freq,sr ,pol (Frequency:- 12551
Symbol Rating :- 19519
Polarity:- V) on almost all the satellite on the decoder and it wrked just that both tv n radio come as radio.Yes i'm in ghana.
Olu, good job on the review. I am planning to change my current Cable Gold to MultiTV. I however have a challenge. Cable Gold gives me all the free-on-air including TV3 which I ordinarily don't receive in my area. I am concerned about the switch between TV3 and GTV. What do you advice. Can I get all the other free-on-air TV stations when using the MultiTV decorder or do I have switch between the MultiTV decorder and an ordinary TV pole
Tobee, thanks for your kind words.
About making a switch, it would largely depend on your tastes. I cannot make this decision for you. However, mixing the MultiTV dish with a good antenna is probably a good combination as I doubt if MultiTV will ever offer all the free-to-air TV stations considering that those ones would consider MultiMedia Group a competitor.
please i want to know the rate multi tv shows adverts,is it in between programmes like what tv3 does or after a program.i have skyy digital,can i get multi tv on it,if yes show me,lastly i want to know if the revenue from digibox sales and adverts alone can sustain multi tv.
Apart from CRTV nad LTMtv how many chennels do have on your decoder as you promise to bring 20 tv chennels.
from OVERMARS
Please, what video format is multi tv using, mpeg 1, 2 , 3, or 4?
Hello David, i have heard rumours there are a couple of paytv stations yet 2 be launched in ghana. Do you have any idea if this is true?
Secondly, i doubt if multitv can sustain their business solely on ad revenue and digibox sales. It just doesnt make business sense unless the channels on their package are already free to air and they are not paying anything 2 the content owner.
1. I have no information about any new Pay TV stations.
2. I am sceptical about MultiTV's viability too but going by Joy FM's excellence so far, I am willing to give them a chance. I assume their risk-taking with this model is well calculated.
Do you have any idea if other free to air channels apart from that provided by multitv can be recieved through the multitv decoder?
please tell me what video format is multitv. and why cant i use strong decoder.
Multi TV uses MPEG4. I learnt Strong SRT 4669x decoder works fine with Multi TV.
please can my strong decorded work with MultiTV am in lagos nigeria
There are reports that Strong decoders are not working well with MultiTV.
Anyone used a Strong decoder to receive MultiTV signals successfully? Please share your thoughts.
I believe strong decoders technically sudnt be working well with multi TV. Thats why they've got their own box. Getting it on any other box, strong or the others… sudnt even be published since that mustn't be the case. E TV only changed its encryption format to nagra 3 (thats what the big FTV sat guys are telling us) because they've realized that the old encryption use to secure it transmition in SA has been greatly compromised. Thanks to every one who contributed to letting them know. So please, please, please watch what you all say about multi tv else they will perfect the system so quick that without the digi box, you can never crack into in.

Thank you King Dave for giving us this platform
Aside multi tv free to air channels. Can I also get other free to air channels?
If yes what should be my settings?
multi tv is using mpeg-4 for its encryption so any decorder with DVB, MPEG-2 Complaint can watch it for free.
Can u list any available decoder with mpeg 4 in nigeria?
David i want to know if i can tune my channel to Spanish La liga Bcos it said on the Site that its Comming Soon although i havent bought Multi tv yet but i was doughting
Salim, unfortunately, I don't dig sports that much and so don't watch JOY SPORTS. You should search http://www.myjoyonline.com for information about this.
Best wishes.

Am from nigeria;ples i want 2 no if multi-tv have add more channels 2 the crtv & other 10 i receive already
Multi TV has not added new channels recently.
when is the HD Multi TV be start operation. Is DVB, MPEG-2 stronger than MPEG-4? Can a stronger decoder receive Multi TV signal ?
1. Multi TV is likely to start HD broadcasts in December 2010. The news items pointed out that new equipment installation should be completed by the end of November 2010.
2. MPEG4 offers improved picture clarity, relative to MPEG2.
3. A Strong receiver that supports MPEG4 and DVB2 should be able to receive Multi TV signals.
HELLO olUNIYI
can i use an MPEG4 to view HD channels ?
please i will love to know
There is no straight answer to that. It would depend on if the receiver supports HD. MPEG4 is not the only criteria.
1. THE SCRIPT/ LETTERS ON MY MENU INSTRUCTION IS CORRUPTED. IT IS IN A STRANGE LANGUAGE NOT IN English. I CANT READ THEM WHAT CAN I DO
2. CRTV is no more coming on my receiver. I have already scanned. what can I do?
3.I want SMART TV where can I get it from. Tel no. or e-mail
1. Read the manual that came with your decoder on how to set the language to English.
2. CRTV is currently off Astra 2B. There is nothing you can do.
3. Smart TV? Call their 030 2740630.

Kariluv said:
I honestly don't know how to rate this book. It wasn't very good, and I told myself that I wasn't going to read it but I ended up doing it anyways. Even though the book was good, I wanted to cry at least four times throughout the story, and it left me in a bad place when I finished it. I am very disappointed with some of the characters and wish that there was an alternative ending, but this book really showed me that there aren't always happy endings. Tasha and Trae's relationship happened to be my favorite, and Wahida sure ruined it. I still feel like crying, and I just had to right this review to let you guys know to brace yourselves before reading it. When I wrote my review for Thug Matrimony, I still stand by my warning. If you were satisfied with that happy ending, do NOT read this book!!! Can't wait until the one after this comes out, and I hope it does soon. Also, I just wanted to say that this book is totally out of character for Wahida. I wasn't sure if I was being tricked with it and would be told that the book was all a joke, or if I was reading the real thing. All of the characters were out of their character and made me VERY disappointed. I wish that this book had never been written, because I had fallen in love with books 1-3.

Organizing graphic design exhibitions is always problematic: graphic design does not exist in a vacuum, and the walls of the exhibition space effectively isolate the work of design from the real world. Placing a book, a music album, or a poster in a gallery removes it from the cultural, commercial, and historical context without which the work cannot be understood. The entire raison d'être of the work is lost as a side effect of losing the context of the work, and the result is frozen appearance stripped of meaning, liveliness and dynamism of use. In spite of this, it is more and more common to see design as 'object', not only in books and magazines, but also in the 'white cube' of the exhibition space.
— Peter Biľak
Taken from the essay accompanying the exhibition Graphic Design in the White Cube, Brno, 2006.

We all need help coping during life's most difficult moments. For people with cancer, there is a place in the District that is providing peace and even pain relief. It's not a drug or a new treatment. It's yoga.
Many turn to yoga in search of peace. Some lean on it more than others.
Cynthia Speckman is a 50-year-old cancer survivor. She has leukemia and is recovering from a bone marrow transplant.
At first, yoga felt slow for her.
"First yoga class, I was like, 'This is boring. Get me an elliptical. Get me a kickboxing class,'" she said.
But for Speckman, yoga has built more resilience than any elliptical ever could.
"Just be present with where you are today, not what your body was able to do yesterday and not what you think it is supposed to be able to do tonight," said Speckman.
Corrin Bennett is the instructor in this therapeutic yoga class for people with cancer and others. It's at a non-profit called the Smith Center on U Street in Northwest D.C.
"Most people, when they walk in the door, are just blown away by the space and blown away by the energy that is here," said Erin Price-Schabert, the Smith Center's Development Manager. "And most of the time, they say, 'I've walked by you a million times. I had no idea you were here.'"
The Smith Center provides the tools to get through life's toughest challenges.
Bennett says yoga helps emotionally. Also with the stiffness and discomfort.
The deliberate breathing in and out has worked for Jacque Buschmann. She too had a bone marrow transplant.
"It's just really helpful to have breathing techniques to turn to when things are painful and or just upsetting," she said.
Speckman knows what yoga has meant to her.
"It's meant life," Speckman said. "I wouldn't be alive today if it wasn't for learning how to do this practice and learning how to be present with my body."

(CNN) -- Police were searching for whoever shot an
individual Tuesday night on the campus of Coastal Carolina University in
Conway, South Carolina.
The incident took place
at 7:22 p.m. outside University Place Apartments, which houses students
on campus, school spokesman Doug Bell told CNN.
The suspected shooter
left in a vehicle, said Bell, who added that the school was asking
students and university personnel to stay inside.
The victim was taken to Grand Strand Regional Medical Center in Myrtle Beach, he said.
"The shooting is not
ongoing," the dean of students' Twitter page said shortly after the
shooting. "Police continue to search for one suspect. Stay indoors."
At 9:50 p.m., school officials allowed students to leave classrooms, but asked those in dormitories to remain inside.
More than 9,000 students attend the school, which is located on 630 acres about 15 miles northwest of Myrtle Beach.
Coastal Carolina University was founded in 1954 as Coastal Carolina Junior College. It became an independent university in 1993.

i own a intel dual core e5300 pc, just installed this graphic card. it gave a new life to my pc. i was thinking to upgrade my pc, but after installing this card, i have postponed my upgrade plans for an year. i am able to play battlefield 3 in high mode, crysis 2 in advanced mode and FARCRY 2 in ULTRA HIGH mode without a glitch. getting around 20-30FPS. Am sure if i upgrade to a better processor, it can easily reach 60-70FPS. Thumbs up for HD6670!!
If you believe that you are a procrastinator then please think twice before buying this card. I ordered it just to improve my system's performance and now I am finding myself jamming a car in NFS Hot Pursuit or viewing level of detailing in CoD MW series or viewing mountains in Skyrim all running at Ultra-High Graphic settings. This card is literally amazing..
At such low price, I am getting high performance and extreme satisfaction. Although NVIDIA developed games won't run on Full HD but they too bow down under it if run on slight low settings.
Go ahead and you will love it, only if you... (Expand)
i have been using gt 210 from geforce..it's one of mediocre cars from nvidia... cant even play any top notch games, and the games you mentioned in high resolution... dont mislead the customers..With my processor running with phenom 2 x4 960 and 8gb ddr 3 to mention.... sold it after 3 months.... moreover it's a base card of geforce and i wonder how could you play such games in high resolution.... now using radeon hd 6770.. superb one... best in its class...6670 is way better than shitty geforce 210 which is par with integrated cards on board..
This card I purchased from flipkart & its a real out performer.
I can run crysis in 1600x900 resolution with anti aliasing. No problem!
this is a that going to stay with me for a long time. At this price you can't ask for more. It has 'Amd App' to accelerate your video related apps.
All in a word, super card. After 3months of usage, I am happy that I bought this card.
hey guyzz i have a hd5670..ddr5 nd i mst say ...that it wazz a beast ..... 2 years bck..it ran nd still runs all game in maxx..............i played:

The greatest strength of the HD 6670 is its low power consumption. The HD 6670's thermal design power, or TDP, is ranked at 66 watts, while sitting at 12 watts when idle.

Digging to America (original 2006; edition 2006)
by Anne Tyler
Work details
Digging to America by Anne Tyler (2006)
Compact | Rate recommendations
No current Talk conversations about this book.
I was glad to read another Anne Tyler after many years. I got the suggestion from whichbook.net. Again they had it only partly right with their recommendation. This book had very engaging characters. It wasn't as funny as I had thought it would be. It was charming though. I enjoyed it more than the last Anne Tyler I read.
My 11 year old started this book and said that the language was simple, like a kid's book, and that she really liked it. I haven't read Tyler for a long while, but have always liked her, and I was curious about my daughter's reaction. The vocabulary isn't simple, but Tyler seldom uses figurative language. This is a highly episodic book that begins with the adoption of two Korean infants by very different families: one a granola eating middle-aged American family, the other by first generation young Iranian-Americans. It's a subject close to my heart, but the novel is really about the two families' initial antipathy and subsequent friendship. Adoption is in the background (and Tyler made the occasional factual error about the process). The real story is about integration, exile, belonging as it unfolds in the relationship between the newly widowed grandfather on one side, and the long time widowed grandmother on the other. My daughter enjoyed the detailed realism and independence of each scene; a stand-alone slice of life in her eyes. I enjoyed some of the parenting scenes (the one about trying to make a toddler give up her pacifier made me laugh out loud), but most of all the elder love story. I don't think this is Tyler's best. It is a fast read and reads like a fast write. But a book that I can enjoy as an adult and which my daughter enjoys as a kid is rare. No violence here, either, which was a nice break.
A quick read. A couple of characters reminded me of myself and Tyler shrewdly shows how a person who takes themselves a tad too seriously comes off to others. Made me think....
Two families meet at the airport when they collect their adopted daughter arriving from Korea. One family (originally from Iran) try to keep up with the other (typical American). Understanding the others culture and they way they choose to bring up their children is sometimes a challenge.
Easy reading and entertaining. No huge climax – a story of family relationships and bringing up children.
288 pages of absolutely no story, boring characters and just poor writing. The emphasis of this novel is on subtlety, if by that you mean that nothing actually happens then yes, that would be an accurate description.
Seriously, I finished each chapter and thought to myself: "so what actually happened there?" And the answer is nothing. This is a very boring book, I wasted a painful few weeks of my life trying to drag myself through it, I have to finish a book once I start it but I very nearly gave up with this one.
There are no interesting characters, not one I can feel any kind of endearing emotion towards... I always try to find something good to say about a novel, even the ones I really didn't like, but I can't think of anything good to say about this. I hated it.
in "Digging to America," Tyler's characters face the future, not the past, so she doesn't let the freight of personal history freeze their forward motion, although it sometimes slows them down.
All these parties provide Tyler with the set pieces at which she so excels - although after the third or fourth farcical arrival ceremonies, the reader begins to tire of them as much as some of the family members. This also contributes to the sense in some of Tyler's more recent fiction that the parts, deliciously funny and sharply observed, are more satisfying than the whole.
There is so much truth here, as Tyler strips away the issue of ethnic difference to reach the heart of her complex and compelling matter.
Point of view is passed on from chapter to chapter in a subtle dance. This is beautifully done, but the effect of multiple viewpoints is to muffle the distinctiveness of the first.

Amazon.com Product Description (ISBN 0307263940, Hardcover)In what is perhaps her richest and most deeply searching novel, Anne Tyler gives us a story about what it is to be an American, and about Maryam Yazdan, who after
Thirty-five years in this country must finally come to terms with her "outsiderness."
Two families, who would otherwise never have come together, meet by chance at the Baltimore airport—the Donaldsons, a very American couple, and the Yazdans, Maryam's fully assimilated son and his attractive Iranian American wife. Each couple is awaiting the arrival of an adopted infant daughter from Korea. After the babies from distant Asia are delivered, Bitsy Donaldson impulsively invites the Yazdans to celebrate with an "arrival party," an event that is repeated every year as the two families become more deeply intertwined.
Even independent-minded Maryam is drawn in. But only up to a point. When she finds herself being courted by one of the Donaldson clan, a good-hearted man of her vintage, recently widowed and still recovering from his wife's death, suddenly all the values she cherishes—her traditions, her privacy, her otherness—are threatened. Somehow this big American takes up so much space that the orderly boundaries of her life feel invaded.
A luminous novel brimming with subtle, funny, and tender observations that cast a penetrating light on the American way as seen from two perspectives, those who are born here and those who are still struggling to fit in.

Monday, October 29, 2012 - 11:32pm
CANUTILLO, TX — The newest campus of the Canutillo Independent School District will be named Congressman Silvestre and Carolina Reyes School.
The CISD Board of Trustees voted unanimously Monday night.
Trustees decided to honor Congressman Reyes and his wife for a long list of accomplishments and their tireless work to represent the values of the Canutillo community.
One of Reyes' daughters was at the meeting and said she's extremely proud.
"They've dedicated over 40 years of their life as public servants. They have volunteered. My mother was a volunteer most of her life. My dad as a public servant in Border Patrol, served on the school board here in Canutillo when he was young and then of course 16 years in Congress," said Monica Reyes. "He always had his heart in Canutillo and so I think it's well deserved."
The board also voted to name the football stadium at the school as Veteran's Memorial Field in honor of those Canutillo residents who have served in the U.S. military.
The new school, which will have grades pre-kindergarten through eighth, is scheduled to open for classes during the 2014-2015 school year.

Defensive Slides - Catapult
Drill Name:
Defensive Slides - Catapult
Major Skill Area:
Defensive Footwork
Drill Details/Instructions:
1. Player begins in the corner at an angle towards the top of the key, their body pointed towards the baseline.
2. Cones are set up diagonally all the way up the floor.
3. Player begins defensive step slides towards the first cone.
4. Once the player reaches the cone, they drop-step, turn a take one giant "catapult" step towards the next cone (as if the offensive player has beaten the defender off the dribble). The player pivots and turns back into the defensive stance and continues the step slides towards the next cone.
5. The player performs this drill all the way up the floor.
6. The player should perform this drill with one giant step after the drop-step, then perform the drill with 2 giant steps.
Drill Philosophy (Why):
• The Defensive Slides - Catapult drill helps improve defensive footwork by forcing the body, lower body in particular, to push past its comfort zone. It teaches the defender to get up and run to beat the offensive player to a spot, should they get beat off the dribble.
Point(s) of Emphasis:
• The player must stay low the entire time during the defensive slides. The only time they are allowed out of the defensive stance is to take their "catapult" steps.
• The player must take as big of a "catapult" step as they can in order to reach the next cone in as few steps as possible.
Common Corrections:
• Players come up out of their defensive stance.
• Players take too many "catapult" steps in order to regain balance. The point of the drill is to push yourself to get out of your comfort zone on the court, to stretch the body farther than you think it can go.

Burke County Commissioners
Concerned about
Blocked Railroad Crossings
By Lyann Olson
The blocking of railroad crossings, in particular the crossing at County Road 2 was the main topic of discussion at the regular Burke County Commissioners meeting held last Tuesday, Sept. 16.
Chairman Allen Ryberg had been in contact with the PSC Commission and the Department of Transportation, having received two calls again on the crossing being blocked for well over the 20 minutes allotted.
"It's been an ongoing battle since 2009," stated Ryberg.
Ryberg talked to the sheriff's department about giving out citations "every day if need be" and citizens will need to be available to testify to the blocked crossings.
Tom Larson of CP Rail called stating that he realizes that it is not acceptable, and gave the commissioners a phone number for the person who controls the movement out of Minneapolis.
"It's been six years. It's been patched and is now at three different levels. We've been on them and it's fallen on dead ears," Ryberg told Larson.
Larson responded that they would try and get "up there" in April of 2015.
Later during the meeting, Ryberg received a second call.
Keith, a CP Rail representative out of Portal, requested the times and dates of the blocking. The sheriff's department will be getting back to him.

Opdahl Grocery, Kjelshus Take Top Prize in Chili Cook-off
By Ginny Heth
There was a 'hot time in the old town' on Saturday as Westhope Community Club hosted the First Annual Chili Cook-off!
May 10th was chosen as Community Day for Westhope with city-wide rummage sales happening throughout the day as well as the annual Presbyterian Women's fund raiser serving sloppy joes, pie and coffee. They also had basket- and purse-mania, a silent auction type activity that is fun for all. Included this year in the day's activities was the Trini Tree Frogs Youth Group detailing the insides of cars. They had a great turn-out for their fund raiser, even having to turn away a couple of cars that arrived after their time was up. Maybe they will have to plan another day of car cleaning since people were so happy to have someone to take on that task for them!
Meanwhile, all around town people's homes were beginning to smell a lot like a Mexican restaurant as pots of chili were started in anticipation for the Chili Cook-off. Around 3:00 p.m., the Gateway Community Room began buzzing with activity as the ten contestants brought their chili in for tasting......some contestants even brought their own Mexican ambience including table cloths, decorations (even some hung on the wall!) and music!!
Ten entirely different pots of chili were there for the tasting when it began at 4:30 p.m. coming from Westhope Farmers Union (Kevin Schroeder, cook); Westhope Fire Department (Ryan Ellsworth, cook); Double EE Service (Ben Cartwright, cook); John Gruenberg, M&D Pizza (Heather Lee, cook); Presbyterian Children (Lola & Randy Kimpland); Rachel Gruenberg; Kim & Lance Kjelshus; Opdahl's Grocery (Barb Opdahl, cook); and Westhope Ambulance (UB & Sylvia Schlieper, cooks). There were white chilis, red chilis, and no bean chilis. Some were quite spicy and some were just flavorful, with out the bite! Many contestants included 'add-ins' such as sour cream, onions, chips, crackers and cheese to make their offering more enticing. Community Club provided corn bread to make sure everyone had a way to 'cut the heat' between bowls of chili, coffee & water with the water being the most popular thing!
In all, nearly 100 people voted and there was a tie for first place! Opdahl's Grocery and Kim & Lance Kjelshus are the proud winners, sharing a traveling trophy for the year and prize money. Coming in a close third (only one vote separated the three chilis!) was Westhope Ambulance with UB's Road Kill Chili, who took home a small cash prize as well.
Plans are already in the works for the 2nd Annual Westhope Community Day Chili Cook-off, so get those recipes tweeked, plan on a few decorations for your table (Opdahl's & the Kjelshus' both had very nicely decorated tables -- whether that had anything to do with the winning or not.....) and take a chance at bragging rights for next year!!
