Small Summary:I wasn't a lucky girl. Quite the opposite. Bad luck had followed me since I was a baby; I was known for messing everything up. I think you'll agree that Kate the klutz isn't the greatest nickname in the world. But it has stuck to me ever since kindergarten and everyone recognize me by that name.

"Grown up" she just turned 16
Stuck in the moment
Dead at the scene
And it's on tonight
This is the life that you wanted right?
I turned off all the lights. The only brightness that escaped into the room was coming from the moon shining through a gap between the curtains. I crawled into bed and pulled the covers over my head.
I was sure my heart was going to beat out of my chest any moment now; I had never been so excited in my life. But I still had that nagging feeling that something was going to go wrong, that somehow I was going to mess this all up.
Like always...
I wasn't a lucky girl. Quite the opposite. Bad luck had followed me since I was a baby; I was known for messing everything up. I think you'll agree that Kate the klutz isn't the greatest nickname in the world. But it has stuck to me ever since kindergarten and everyone recognize me by that name. Even kids at my school that I had never even talked to before. It's mortifying. But I really don't want to be thinking about that right now. Since it seems that my luck has finally changed.
Just moments ago, I had been sitting peacefully on the living room sofa, far away from anything made out of glass, or steal for that matter. I always managed to break something anyways. And I was watching TV.
Some talk show was on and I was waiting excitedly for one of my favorite bands to perform at the end of the show. Yes, I spent my day obsessing over bands and wasting my time watching boring talk shows just to catch a few minutes of one of my favorite bands play. Tonight Panic! At The Disco was on.
I tapped my foot against the floor, starting to feel impatient. I looked intently at the dull screen and listened to the host babbling something, waiting for anything that would catch my interest. It didn't seem that was going to happen anytime soon, so I closed my eyes and laid my head against the sofa.
I jumped up when I felt the remote control taken from my hand and tapped against my head. "Wake up, stupid. They've started talking about that disco band of yours." My sister said annoyed. "When is this thing over anyways? My friend is on 'My super sweet sixteen' any moment now!"
I glared at her and ripped the remote out of her hands. "It'll be over in a minute! And shut up Stacy I'm trying to listen!" I heard her mumble 'whatever' and walk out of the family room in her little-too-short skirt. She was my walking reflection if I had been born a Barbie doll.
Everybody liked her, even though she was the twin sister of Kate the klutz, me. She was the one who had the spoiled rich friends who got to be on 'My Super Sweet Sixteen', she was the one who knew how to make her blond hair shine brighter than the sun; though we were identical I always came up short from being as perfect as her.
Not that I'm jealous...
Not that I want to have stupid spoiled friends who get to look stupid in front of the whole country by being on that show. Not that I want her stupid clothes her rich friends buy for her. Not that I want her popular dark haired boyfriend. Oh wait, yes I do want him.
Anyway, nothing more important to know. Just plain old sibling rivalry.
I wiped out of my mind all thoughts of the subject and put all of my attention to the television screen.
"....and today we will be giving out tickets to their show plus a backstage pass to meet them in person!" the talk show host stated, trying to sound interested. My heart skipped a beat. Backstage passes? Free tickets to tomorrow's show? The last show of their tour, here in Vegas?
I jumped off the sofa and ran across the room looking for the phone. I spotted it sitting on the kitchen table and picked it up in a hurry running back in front of the TV.
"...call the number and one lucky caller will get the tickets!" I pressed the right buttons and pressed 'call'.
This line is already in use.
WHAT? Why, oh why, didn't my parents give my sister a private line! Oh yeah, because I convinced them otherwise. I hit the palm of my hand against my forehead in frustration. I would never get her off the phone in time.
I collapsed back in the sofa feeling the disappointment wash over me. Well, this wasn't anything new. I had never been lucky, and why did I even get my hopes up that things would work out now?
I closed my eyes, feeling my head stirring up a headache from the slap I had just given myself earlier. Perfect, just perfect.
I heard the familiar sound of my favorite band playing from the television. I opened my eyes and sighed. There they were, playing the song with smiles on their faces. I turned off the TV, I couldn't watch this now. Too disappointed, too torn apart cause everything seemed to be going wrong in my life.
I put the remote on the table and started walking upstairs, trying to look on the bright side. Well, I could always try to get tickets next time...
I turned around and saw my sister's door open; she was lying on her bed with the phone still glued to her ear looking at me annoyed. "Come on! Please hurry, I don't have all day."
I furrowed my eyebrows and walked into her room, which I hadn't been in for a long time. "What do you want?" I said and crossed my arms, standing beside her bed.
She took the phone away from her ear - a sight I've never witnessed before - and said, "Josh just called me when I was on the phone with Steph and she's waiting on the other line so be quick and help me out here." Josh being her dark haired popular boyfriend.
I nodded and gave her a confused look. "He just asked me to come to this concert with him but I don't wanna go, so can you please go with him? 'Cause he doesn't know anyone who might like this band and I think you do."
"What band?" I said sounding confused, which I really was but still the feeling of excitement was taking over me. I know, hate me for liking my sister's boyfriend, but spending a night all alone with him sounded really nice.
"That disco band. He just won tickets on TV. The concert is tomorrow night, can you go or not?" She said and was starting to get impatient.
Are you kidding me? I felt my mind start to race and all this different feelings started taking over me. But I could not, I repeat not, sound as excited as I was in front of my sister. If she knew how happy this would make me she wouldn't let me go. I swallowed and said stiffly "Yeah, sure, whatever."
"Ok, good. It's not like I thought you were doing anything anyway..." she said and pushed the phone up against her ear again, completely ignoring me.
I turned around and walked slowly out of the room, trying to look as if I didn't care a bit about this. But right now I wanted to squeal and jump around of joy.
Right as I was about to close the door behind me she called me back in, "He'll pick you up at six tomorrow." then went back to ignoring me and I closed the door.
Fast forward to me lying under the covers trying as hard as I can not to scream of excitement.
Now, I'll just have to hope bad luck won't follow me to that concert.

Whilst taking photographs in Berlin I found a theme developing in my work. I was drawn towards these industrial air conditioning units, chimneys, windows, lights, shapes. The city was alive and breathing. Heating and cooling, creating false elements, indoors, outdoors.
Through a process of printing and scanning the photographs on different printers, with different quality settings I achieved the aesthetic I was looking for. The images were then curated and placed into an indesign document. The position of the images within the book was also important to me. I didn't want everything to be centered, they had to be engaging and reflect the shapes created in some photographs. Once the composition was finalised I printed the book onto newsprint and bound it with black cotton.

Severe thunderstorms brought heavy rain and hail to downtown Austin.
FOX 7 viewer, Brendan Steinhauser, sent us video of sidewalks flooding, preventing some from getting to their cars.
Another viewer, Mike Marshall, sent in amazing video of hail in Lockhart. The ground seems to be moving but its all water.
Being a smart driver, he stayed inside the car until it was safe to drive.
Marble falls also saw lots of hail.
Many viewers sent in pictures of hail.
The severe thunderstorm flooded plenty of areas and several swift water rescues were called for across town.
Flooding can happen in an instant, so if you are driving in dangerous conditions, turn around and don't drown. If you can, try to avoid traveling.
Several roads have been closed due to flooding. To view road closures click here.

Curbed went to Crown Heights to talk to some of the locals there, some of whom claim that Crown Heights is actually the new Williamsburg.
Is Crown Heights the 'new Williamsburg'?

This is an excerpt from a journal entry I wrote when I was 16:
I'm not sure what to write. A lot has happened, but I don't feel like writing about all that. I can write about that tomorrow or something. Tonight I want to write about how I feel.
How I feel. As if it's as simple as 2 sentences. Hardly. I feel lonely. I mean, I've got all these friends, and yet, I'm alone. And I'm lonely. I'm not happy. I feel this overwhelming weight on my heart. I'm not sure what it is, I just know it aches. What am I doing? I don't know anymore. I don't know how to be happy. Just plain old happy. I don't remember what it feels like. Please someone, anyone, show me what it feels like to be happy. Please. I feel like I'm losing what mental energy I have left by being sad. But I can't stop.
I began suffering from depression roughly around age 13 – 14. No, I wasn't depressed all the time – it came in bouts. But I was depressed enough that people noticed, my friends noticed, my parents noticed. But no one did anything.
I used to be pretty pissed off with my parents for this – how do you let someone you love suffer like that and not do something? But this is such a limited view of the world as it was and is – it was only my world, not theirs. And a limited view of mine, at that. I can't imagine the fear they had in trying to figure out how to help me. And was it their fault? Surely if they tried to seek help from someone else, the question hanging in the air would be how did they fuck me up so badly that they couldn't fix it?
And even beyond their own issues with seeking help for me, did they worry what my friends, my school and teachers would say or how they would treat me if they knew I had to get help? Who's to say that my childhood and teenage years would have been happier if I had gotten help but everyone had known about it?
What is it about our culture that makes us so afraid of mental illness that we shame anyone who has it, anyone who is related to someone who has it? How will parents ever be able to help their children seek care for an illness that is not anyone's fault if they are too afraid someone will question their ability as parents? I have made no secret of the fact that I suffer from depression on this blog, but it has not been an easy choice for me to make. I do it because I hope that maybe, just maybe, there is one other person out there who will gain strength from my story. Maybe shedding some light on this illness and others will teach people that we can do better than shame someone out of their sanity. Maybe one more person will realize that it's okay, that it's normal, that it's healthy to seek help for something over which they have no control.
It's time to take our sanity back. Unashamedly.

Hardazan Plus Overview
Many men will experience some type of sexual decline as they age. It is very natural and likened to the menopause period in women. In addition to the decline is sexual performance, they may also experience a decrease in sex drive and develop prostate problems, all symptoms that the product Hardazan Plus is said to help. The Hardazan Plus website is very comprehensive and professional in appearance although some statements do seem over-exaggerated (for example the site states that the product is the #1 Male Performance supplement but supplies no evidence of this). However, there are many customer testimonials, a lengthy FAQ section, full manufacturer contact information and secure ordering section.
The customer has a range of pricing options – they can order 5 bottles and receive 5 free, or simply purchase a one month supply at a cost of $49.99. All orders are sent discreetly and purchases have a 60-day money back guarantee.
Hardazan Plus Product Details
The information regarding the ingredients in Hardazan Plus is extremely comprehensive. All the ingredients that are included in the proprietary blend are listed, illustrated and explained in detail. Among some of the more beneficial ingredients are Prosexual Nutrients which are important to the erection process, Ginseng for vitality and energy, Oyster extract for added sexual stamina and desire, Caltrops, for the support of male hormone levels plus Bioperine to aid in the fast and effective absorption of the full formula. In terms of aiding and supporting a healthy prostate gland, the formula uses Saw Palmetto and Cranberry extract.
It is recommended that Hardazan Plus is taken for at least 12-16 weeks to experience the full effects, after which time the dosage can be reduced. The manufacturer states that some men may be able to stop taking it completely although the effects are likely to diminish over time.
Advantages of Hardazan Plus
- Different pricing options are available.
- Ordering is secure online.
- Ingredients are listed and explained.
- The product contains Prosexual Nutrients and Caltrops.
- There is a money back guarantee.
- Hardazan Plus should not cause harmful side effects.
- All manufacturer contact information is provided.
Disadvantages of Hardazan Plus
- Hardazan Plus is expensive.
- Ingredient amounts are not shown.
- Scientific testing is not provided.
- Some statements are over exaggerated.
Hardazan Plus The Bottom Line
Out of the many male performance products available online, of which there are many, Hardazan does appear to be one of the more beneficial. Sometimes the fact that a product has changed names – Hardazan Plus used to be called Extenerex – is not a good sign although in this case the manufacturer is very upfront about it. Ultimately, it would be helpful to know ingredient amounts so the powerfulness of the formula can be properly judged in addition to seeing results of appropriate clinical testing.

In the spirit of the 2012 NASCAR Race Season beginning next weekend I thought I'd talk to you about Clevite's TriMetal™ engine bearings. Every NASCAR Cup Champion has used Clevite® bearings all the way back to when Red Byron won in 1948!
You'll find out below why Clevite bearings are trusted by professional engine builders especially in the world of motorsports. It all starts with the construction of the bearing.
To start with – almost all bearing manufacturers use a similar grade of steel for the backing of tri-metal engine bearings. SAE 1008 and SAE 1010 are the most common ones used.
The difference lies in MAHLE Clevite's intermediate layer. It is different than any other bearing manufacturer. It is cast onto the steel in a strip process where an alloy of molten copper and lead is poured onto the steel strip in an atmospheric controlled furnace. Copper in the alloy penetrates the steel, forming an indestructible bond. As the strip leaves the furnace, it is quenched and the alloy solidifies.
Every bearing manufacturer in the world except for Clevite relies primarily on a means of manufacturing their intermediate layer using a process called sintering. Sintering is a build-up process of applying a layer of powdered copper lead alloy in a controlled thickness, then heating it to a semi-molten state where the alloy bonds with itself and the steel strip.
The strip is then run through a rolling mill to help remove porosity and increase strength. This process is less costly than running a foundry that pours bronze alloy onto a steel strip.The problem with the sintered material is it does not have many continuous columns of copper in the alloy structure like the Clevite TriMetal bearing. Those columns are important load bearers and are what allows tri-metal bearing load capacity that is typically 2000psi higher than other bearing manufacturers.
The overlay of most tri-metal bearings is babbitt, an alloy of Lead and Tin, applied in an electro plating process. The overlay composition used by most manufacturers is 87% lead, 10% tin and 3% copper.
MAHLE Clevite carefully controls the thickness of the overlay and it will vary from application to application, depending on the load the engine bearings are expected to see in the engine.
MAHLE Clevite also produces a lead-indium overlay for some racing bearings. Often referred to as a Vandervell style bearing, which is preferred to babbitt by some racing and performance engine builders.
To hear more about Clevite TriMetal engine bearings watch my colleague, Brett Dayringer's video below!
If you have any questions related to Clevite bearings, be sure to ask!

Two new signs welcoming visitors to the Laurel Gardens neighborhood were uncovered Thursday morning—one on Sixth Avenue near the intersection with Rochester Road and the other on Seventh Street near the intersection with Babcock Boulevard.
Dayle Miller, a resident of the neighborhood for 42 years, came down the hill to watch the the unveiling. She said she was really pleased with them.
"It's gorgeous. That's us," she said of the design.
Her daughter, Cindy Richey, also a long-time resident of the neighborhood, agreed.
"No one knew this was Laurel Gardens," she said. "Now they know. We're on the map."
The identical signs, measuring 48 inches by 96 inches, were purchased using a $10,000 grant from the Pennsylvania Department of Community and Economic Development, awarded in 2006, according to Township Manager Wayne Jones.
Although the Ross Township Board of Commissioners gave the order for the signs, the designs were never submitted and the signs delivered, said Ross Township Commissioner John Sponcer, who represents the Laurel Gardens neighborhood.
"I found them by mistake," he said.
He said he discovered references to them in the minutes of meetings while he was doing research before his run for commissioner. He said he filed a Right-to-Know request and learned that they were paid for, but not yet ordered.
"I went to Wayne. I said let's put them up," he said.
Of three designs presented to the community awhile back, Sponcer chose the one that he thought would work best.
"If they don't like it, I'm going to be the bad guy but at least someone put them up," he said.
Richey said she has no complaints.
"They're classy," she said.

I don't PVP (ever), and I play strictly Prot PVE; but isn't that the case with all the healer classes? Resto druids were/are(?) notoriously hard to kill, and a decent Discipline priest was always a force to be reckoned with. Holy paladins have the armour bonus and the massive heals to survive, much like a resto druid's ability to gain HP from hots while stunned/CC'd.
Isn't the solution to the 'healer problem' to apply MS and focus fire? Add your own healer to taste and shake well? I imagine if you split your DPS to assaulting the other players and not your healer, their team will indeed rip you to shreds.
The adage is old, but viable. 'Why don't the raid bosses go after the guys in the back wearing dresses with glowing hands?'

2012 Harley-Davidson Night Rod SpecialHarley Davidson | January 6, 2012
We've seen some brawny looking tough, nasty Harley Davidson in the past, but no one comes closer to the 2012 Harley-Davidson Night Rod Special. The Night Rod Special boasts Pro Stock lineage, black-x-infinity color design and drag strip stance, which gives it the nastiest look we've seen in any Harley Davidson in recent times. But that's not it that separates the Night Rod Special from all its stablemates there's a lot more than that. Unlike the air-cooled models, which hare more talk than business, from the Milwaukee manufacturer this V-Rod is a liquid-cooled model and delivers the essential performance punch. With its Revolution V-twin 1250 cc engine cranking up an estimated 125-bhp and a stout, rear tire of 240-width for transferring the power to pavement, this V-Rod enters the market with a clear intention of hammering. For the people who hate Harley and thinks that the company doesn't know what performance means in a bike, this new Night Rod Special is Harley's answer saying shut the heck up.
The advanced V-Rod offering from Harley Davidson in general is overshadowed by the more traditional models from the company, but still the V-Rod lineup sells decently. Particularly the Harley-Davidson Night Rod Special, which appeals the young buyers. Right from the beginning the H-D engineers were clear in their mind about their aim of luring the young buyers and diverting them from going for the rivaling models, and hence they gave the 2012 Night Rod Special improved handling, sharp styling and a lot more comfy aesthetics which makes this black knight appeal a wider array of buyers in the market.
The 2012 Harley-Davidson Night Rod Special is the first aesthetical update for 2012 V-Rod right from the time it was introduced in the market a decade back. The initial whale tail of the bike has been replaced by a flat track-stimulated "fastback" for showing off a lot of that stout rear Michelin Scorcher tire. In addition to this there also is one another highlight in the form of DOT-defying discreet taillight design of Harley-Davidson and advert with a peeled-down license plate hook. On the frontage there is a remolded headlight, which has been capped by a postal stamp-sized tempo screen and it comes in place of the previous small-bullet fairing. Each and every piece of the trim has been covered in black except for the fleecy-steel muffler sleeves. As a result of that you gets a quicker, slimmer and lighter looking muscle bike.
There also is a brand new upturned fork from Showa, which gives it a heavy, broad-bearer appearance, and a somewhat abridged rake angle tucks for the wheels in front in blitzed for a hostile, snub-nosed posture. Though the overall looks of the bike makes it look a lot stronger, but overall the brand new Night Rod Special is a lot more compact and easy for handling than initially. The c-clamp ride position of the previous Harley-Davidson NRS gave it a tougher look, but at the same time made it comfortable for limited number of rider, who actually can fit in the bike. But this time around the low drag bar back has been pulled back by 3-in, and the footpegs have also been moved around an inch close to the rider, and that's what makes the new Harley-Davidson Night Rod Special reachable for the average-sized riders. And in case you can not deal with the standard, feet-onward cruiser position, you can go for the Ducati Diavel-manner mid-build up foot controls.
The more compact riding position also lets riders make better use of body positioning to steer the bike, making it easier to exploit this year's stiffer fork and other chassis updates. These include new split 5-spoke cast aluminum wheels that slash rotating weight by almost 9 pounds, making the Night Rod Special more responsive to steering inputs and quicker to accelerate than ever before. Handling is credible for a sport cruiser, though excessive compression damping in the retuned rear shocks makes hard hits a bit jarring. Harley-Davidson would benefit from benchmarking the 17-inch-diameter, 240-series rear tire Ducati uses on its Diavel power cruiser, which isn't nearly as bossy as the flatter-profile, 18-inch 240 fit to the Night Rod Special. The Harley's low-speed handling is high-effort, and a slight self-righting tendency demands constant bar pressure to keep the bike turning on the desired trajectory at elevated velocities.
The 2012 Harley-Davidson Night Rod Special performs exceedingly well during long stretches and that actually is when you actually start enjoying the DOHC, 1250cc, 4-valve V-twin engine. The Revolution engine of Night Rod Special might not deliver overwhelming torque as you might get from the conventional, V-twin long-stroke cruiser engine, which trades the low-rev dive in favor of a racy, revvy nature, which actually comes to life on the higher half of the tach. The professional riders will get the feel right at home on their V-Rod. Run it down in every gear and you'll feel the unpredictably quick speeding up for a bike which weighs almost around 700-lbs, and a sound, which actually is worth of a Superbike. The 5-speed gearbox here is not as good as its engine, however.
Finally we'd say that the 2012 Harley-Davidson Night Rod Special not only delivers exceedingly well performance and menacing styling in comparison to any other model in the otherwise retro-minded Harley lineup. It also is one of the most reasonably priced non-Sportster models available in the market.

Busted! Auckland man uses wrong iTunes card
Someone from Australia gave me a $20 iTunes gift card.
Nice gesture. (It was my birthday yesterday; loyal readers, please send gifts to the usual address.)
I scratched the card, then fired up iTunes to type in its code.
I was met by this screen (click to enlarge):
My usual critique of online restrictions is that content makers, or distributors, are trying to protect a nice little regional monopoly rather than copyright.
But this just makes no sense.
Why can't the $20 be put onto my iTunes NZ account - which, after all, only has access to music and movies that content makers have deemed to make available for New Zealanders? (I also have an iTunes US account, but that's another story.)
I was about to pixelate the code on the screenshot above.
But then I thought, why bother? At least someone in Australia can pick it up and use it.
The small print on the back of the card does have a warning that you have to be in Australia to redeem the gift card, if anyone reads that before buying.
I usually find Apple makes a pretty good fist of online content with iTunes, and I know the company would go further if various movie and TV studios took a more progressive approach to regional distribution.
But this is a poor show.
Comments and questions6
but if this was possible would that then allow you to buy NZ iTunes cards & then credit them to your US account???
Why not? Then an NZer could gift an American an iTunes card. The key terms & conditions restriction for using iTunes US is a US address.
I'm not trying to commit any piracy here. Personally, I hold no truck with it (though I can understand the frustration with timely commercial availability that drives some people to it; people who would happily pay if there was a street-legal option).
I'm trying to redeem a commercially purchased voucher (which could be adjusted for currency).
I've had the same problem with Amazon - my sister in England sent me a voucher but when I tried to use it to buy books for my Kindle I was told I couldn't use it in the US store because she'd bought it in the UK store.
At least people using other countries itunes stores are paying for content and not using more devious means to get access to content. I don't get it !

New Delhi, India -- (ReleaseWire) -- 06/18/2013 -- Natural diet pills are in great demand since they are considered safe and free of side effects. Raspberry ketone is one of the most popular natural fat burners that has been featured on TV and has been recommended by experts too.
Raspberry ketones are phenolic compounds extracted from red raspberries that help a hormone norepinephrine in the body that is known to boost metabolism so that the body is better able to burn fat. Studies have shown that norepinephrine is inversely related to body fat and a higher level of this hormone in the body leads to low body fat. Raspberry ketones are also known to suppress appetite. This dual effect can ensure very quick weight loss.
Green coffee, on the other hand, has been hailed as the "miracle fat burner" since it is clinically proven to ensure weight loss even without diet or exercise. Green coffee beans are known to contain chlorogenic acid that not only helps boost fat burning in the body but also prevents fat accumulation. Green coffee tends to slow down sugar release into the bloodstream and this prevents fat built up since it is excess sugar that is stored as fat in the body.
Green coffee is rich in antioxidants too and help flush out toxins from the body.
Ketone Balance Duo is a diet pill that is powered with raspberry ketones and green coffee. It is a highly powerful fat burner and appetite suppressant that includes other natural ingredients like green tea and guarana extract too.
Some of the main points highlighted in Ketone Balance Duo Review conducted by ReduceFlab.co.uk include the following:
- Contains 200 mg of raspberry ketone and 200 mg of green coffee extract
- Also contains green tea extract, guarana extract, l-carnitine, l-tartrate, chromium picolinate and vitamin B12
- Helps burn fat faster by increasing metabolic rate
- Helps suppress appetite to reduce calorie intake
- Regulates blood sugar levels and reduces fat accumulation
- Ensures quick and natural weight loss
- No known side effects
- Positive user reviews
- Reasonably priced with good discount offers
- Complete money back guarantee
"Ketone Balance Duo is a top notch diet pill from Evolution Slimming, a company that has a great reputation in weight loss industry. User reviews for this diet pill are excellent. It has been rated very highly by actual users and the fitness experts too" says a ReduceFlab.co.uk spokesperson.

"If you order the light pink, it is actually Peach. Just beware, color is not as depicted in the images. Beautiful, but very different."
"I love the design, the colors, great product! Our first date was a concert, so we stuck with a "ticket" theme. Our save the dates were custom concert tickets that I did on another website (shh!)"
"This invitation came out beautiful. On the sample that we ordered, the font was very small. This made me nervous that I wouldn't be able to increase the font, and fit all of the information that we needed on there. However, it turned out not to be an issue. They are able to do so much to customize your order, and after a few rounds of proofs, the designer had nailed it. And the customer service staff was so helpful throughout the whole process."
"I absolutely loved the design and personalized colors. The shimmering paper gave more of a glamorous look to it and the font gave it an elegant touch. My guests loved it as well and I received a lot of compliments :-)"
"I changed the layout and wording of the invite and the changes were made without any issues. I was provided with a proof once the changes were made to ensure I was happy before the invites were printed. I cannot be happier with the end result! Thanks so much wedding paper divas!!!!"

B.J. Davis: Comedian, Musician, Inspiration
Making you laugh, touching your heart, soothing your soul!
Saturday, October 16, 12:00 - 12:30 pm.
Think you've seen and heard it all? Don't miss this hysterical performance by singer/songwriter/comedian B.J. Davis. In this comedy-show-meets-mini-concert, this born entertainer blends original songs and parodies with his unique, brutally honest and—above all—really funny outlook on life.
A one-man show who records all performance tracks in his own studio, Davis makes you forget that there's no live band on stage. Give him a couple of songs, and you'll even forget that he's making you belly laugh from the comfort of his wheelchair.
Davis lives with rheumatoid arthritis and, while he acknowledges its challenges, he refuses to allow it to consume him. "Having a disability is what you make of it," he says, "All of us are dealt challenges in life. How we respond to those challenges is what makes us who we are! I want folks to look at me as a guy who is playing the cards he was dealt to the fullest extent."
Davis plays guitar, bass, drums and keyboards and actually made his debut as a country music artist. His popularity grew with each successive and more comedic album and he has received national radio airplay. His most recent work, Crooked Joints…Twisted Mind, treats listeners to many of his classic hits and several new releases.
"B.J. is awesome," says a fan. "Funny man! Great voice! Terrific entertainer!"
With appearances all of over the South and Midwest, Davis' ability to make people laugh while tugging on their heartstrings has helped to raise money and goods for a multitude of charities and not-for-profit organizations. He has also set up the B.J. Davis Foundation to help organizations and individuals who have "fallen through the cracks." Davis' not-for-profit has streamlined the red tape to reach out to as many worthy causes as possible who have not received the aid they need and deserve through normal channels.
"I am truly blessed to be able to use the gifts of music and comedy to hopefully enhance the lives of people I encounter," says Davis.
If laughter is the best medicine, then B.J. Davis is the man with the cure! Come see him at Abilities Expo on Saturday, October 16, 12:00 - 12:30 pm.

What type of tires come with the 20" wheels on the 2013 Taurus Limited? Are they summer tires or all season mud and snow tires?
The only summer tires on Taurus are the ones that come with the SHO performance pack. All other trim series and tires are all-season. So, even the available 20″ tires on the Limited are all-season.
*Ford does not recommend using summer tires when temperatures drop to approximately 40°F or below, or in snow/ice conditions.

Flying Where the Growth Is: Emerging Markets Airlines
Alexander is a member of The Motley Fool Blog Network -- entries represent the personal opinion of the blogger and are not formally edited.
Many investors are searching for growth in emerging markets as the economies of developed markets continue in a pattern of slow growth. Part of the emerging markets bull thesis is a growth in the number of middle class consumers who will buy more consumer goods thereby boosting economic output. There are many ways to play growth in the middle class but this article will primarily focus on the potential for air travel.
Growing Panamanian carrier
Airline stocks in the U.S. have seen an impressive rally over the last several months before slowing down more recently. Much of the same can be said of Copa Holdings SA (NYSE: CPA), which operates primarily in South and Central America. Shares of Copa have about doubled since the beginning of 2012 and have more than quintupled since 2009. This share price growth comes on the back of strong earnings growth as earnings per share rose from $4.82 in 2010 to $7.35 for 2012. And estimates from 4-traders.com project continued earnings growth with earnings hitting $12.60 per share for 2015.
Copa has been on a wave of expansion in the past several years. While it began operations mostly as a domestic carrier, Copa is now expanding its fleet with new jets giving it the ability to add capacity on international routes while using modern, more efficient aircraft to reduce operating costs.
Troubled Brazilian carrier
Shares in Brazilian companies have had a rough year seeing as the Ibovespa Index (based on select companies on the Sao Paulo Stock Exchange) has fallen from over 60,000 at the beginning of 2013 to just above 45,000 today. The most recent drop in the Ibovespa Index has been partially influenced by the civil unrest in Brazil. Investors tend to dislike uncertainty and civil unrest brings plenty of this.
In the midst of this, shares of Brazilian airline Gol Linhas Aereas Inteligentes (NYSE: GOL) are struggling along with much of the Brazilian stock market. But Gol is being hit particularly hard by a drop in the Brazilian real causing its U.S. dollar-based obligations to increase. However, Gol is attempting a turnaround fed by cost cutting and better management of capacity. While the analyst community is still generally bullish on Gol, this airline represents a greater financial risk than Copa Holdings, and investors should keep this in mind if they choose to invest in Gol.
U.S. based emerging markets
It doesn't sound right that an American airline would have emerging markets as a core part of their business model over the next several years but Hawaiian Airlines, owned by parent company Hawaiian Holdings (NASDAQ: HA), is set to make east Asia a core part of its network. With a strong position in the Hawaiian market, the proximity of Hawaii in relation to the markets of east Asia makes Hawaii a prime spot for tourists from emerging markets. At least this is what Hawaiian hopes for.
The airline is set to begin long awaited expansion into China as analysts are saying Hawaiian could begin to be pressured in the American west coast market. However, Hawaiian will likely continue expansion in the U.S. making for a combination of expansion on both sides of the Pacific, giving investors an airline that's a hybrid between emerging and developed markets.
Airline danger zone
Airlines are often considered higher risk than the average investments, and emerging markets are considered to have added risk as well when compared to developed markets. But emerging markets airlines are not necessarily a simple addition of both factors. All U.S.-based legacy carriers have declared bankruptcy at one time or another but among the three airlines mentioned above, only Hawaiian has declared bankruptcy in its history. Although, investors do need to keep both the risks of airlines and of foreign markets in mind when investing in emerging markets airlines, be they foreign or Hawaii-based.

Recipe Time
Prep Time:
Chill: 10 Minutes
Bake: 15 Minutes
- 1 cup (4 oz.) shredded sharp Cheddar cheese
- 2 1/4 cups self-rising soft-wheat flour
- 1/2 cup cold butter
- 1 cup buttermilk
- 1 (4-oz.) jar diced pimiento, undrained
- Self-rising soft-wheat flour
- 2 tablespoons melted butter
- 1. Combine shredded sharp Cheddar cheese with flour in a large bowl.
- 2. Cut butter with a sharp knife or pastry blender into 1/4-inch-thick slices. Sprinkle butter slices over flour mixture; toss butter with flour. Cut butter into flour with a pastry blender until crumbly and mixture resembles small peas. Cover and chill 10 minutes.
- 3. Combine buttermilk and diced pimiento; add buttermilk mixture to flour mixture, stirring just until dry ingredients are moistened.
- 4. Turn dough out onto a lightly floured surface; knead 3 or 4 times, gradually adding additional flour as needed. With floured hands, press or pat dough into a 3/4-inch-thick rectangle (about 9 x 5 inches). Sprinkle top of dough with additional flour. Fold dough over onto itself in 3 sections, starting with 1 short end. (Fold dough rectangle as if folding a letter-size piece of paper.) Repeat entire process 2 more times, beginning with pressing into a 3/4-inch-thick dough rectangle (about 9 x 5 inches).
- 5. Press or pat dough to 1/2-inch thickness on a lightly floured surface; cut with a 2-inch round cutter, and place, side by side, on a parchment paper-lined or lightly greased jelly-roll pan. (Dough rounds should touch.)
- 6. Bake at 450° for 13 to 15 minutes or until lightly browned. Remove from oven; brush with 2 Tbsp. melted butter.

"I'm still pretty open," Dotsy said. "I haven't been able to take any official visits because our games are on Saturday and we're still playing."
Although he doesn't have the exact dates set yet, Dotsy says he plans to visit Arizona and LSU officially in January. He says the Wildcats are recruiting him the hardest. "The Arizona coaches have been by my house already and (defensive ends) coach Joe Robinson has been at my school a lot," he said. "They said that they really like my big body and that they are really looking on getting big linemen this year.
"I like Arizona because it's a nice comfortable town and not a big metropolitan area," he said. "Also, they are a young team and will only be getting better."
Dotsy, ranked as the No. 21 offensive guard in the country by Scout.com, likes Arizona, UCLA, Colorado and LSU and all but the Bruins have offered.
"It's hard to say who stands out right now," Dotsy admitted. "But if UCLA offered me they'd be No. 1. I'm really comfortable there and I like the area a lot. Of course, I can't control whether or not they'll offer me so we'll see.
"Coach Karl Dorrell was really the main one that was recruiting me," Dotsy said of the former UCLA head coach. "But since then I haven't really heard from any of them. It's a really tough situation for them. I think that coach Dorrell is a great guy and a good coach, but I guess he just wasn't a good fit for them.
"I've heard that UCLA is looking at Norm Chow, who is an offensive genius," he said. "I guess they also looked at the Boise State head coach (Chris Petersen), but that's not going to happen."
Dotsy also says he's still looking at USC and California, but neither the Trojans nor the Bears have offered. "I'm still talking to them a little," he said. "Coaches from both programs were at my game last week and I think they'll be at the game this week too."
While Dotsy is definitely interested in the in-state schools, he says that distance won't be a factor and is looking forward to his official visit to LSU. "They are a great program and coach Les Miles is a great coach," he said. "He's gonna be staying there and not going to Michigan, so they seem to at least be a stable program."
Coaching instability is a recurring theme in Dotsy's recruiting, as Nebraska, a team that had offered him, hasn't contacted him since the coaching change. "I'm still considering them though," he said. "I haven't heard from any of the coaches in a long time though. I know they are going through a lot right now, but if the new coaches contact me I'll definitely still consider them."
Colorado is another school that Dotsy also plans on visiting. "They are a lot like Arizona," he said. "They are a team on the rise. I see them getting better and they have a good young quarterback who I think will do great. I think it would be a good opportunity to go in and play early there."
He reports a 3.5 core GPA and a 1580 SAT

An amount of $2 million in health care cost concessions in the Board of Education and Hillsborough Education Association's tentative contract makes privatizations unnecessary if voters approve the 2011-12 school year budget.
The tentative agreement, which the board unanimously accepted during Monday night's meeting, followed a bargaining session that lasted most of Sunday, Negotiations Chairman Neil Hudes said.
"A variety of circumstances, including the economic climate and regulatory mandates, made for a very different type of negotiation," Hudes said. "No one ever gets everything they want in a negotiation. It's a give and take from the outset that hopefully meets both parties' needs. ... Although privatization is not an item the board can or should negotiate, it certainly was discussed during these negotiations, with both sides having a common goal for each settlement."
"I think it was a very successful process in which both sides worked collaboratively to reach a mutually beneficial agreement," he added. "I think the union gave significant concessions at a time where it was needed."
"We're thrilled that it's behind us," HEA President Barbara Parker said. "We're happy that privatization is behind us. That was a tremendous amount of pressure of saving the jobs of 270 people as well as maintaining the quality of our staff."
The tentative contract conditions, which the HEA accepted as well, shifts the contract start date from June 30 to April 1 and requires HEA members to contribute 1.5 percent of their salaries to health care costs during that period. The conditions also change the district from a private insurance plan with Horizon Blue Cross/Blue Shield to the state's health benefits plan, which also is with Horizon Blue Cross/Blue Shield.
Under the public plan, members on the direct service plan would see insurance co-pays ranging from $10 to $15 and would need to pay prescription costs up front and submit the requests for reimbursement. The plan also makes mail-order prescription requests subject to a co-pay rather than being free, Parker said.
The private plan included a $10 co-pay for office visits for members on the point-of-service plan, while members who qualified for the traditional service plan paid more to remain on that plan, Parker said. Members also paid a co-pay for filled prescriptions rather than the cost of the medicines, she added.
According to the new, two-and-a-half-year agreement, HEA members would pay for 12 percent of health care premiums during the 2011-12 school year, while receiving an average 1.5 salary increase. In the 2012-2013 school year, HEA members would contribute to 18 percent of health care premium costs while receiving a 2 percent average salary increase.
The contributions toward health care premiums allowed the district to balance its tentative budget, which will be put to a vote next week.
"This is basically what balanced out the savings that made privatization not necessary," District Superintendent Jorden Schiff said.
"It really helped insulate the board against future rising costs of health care," HEA First Vice President Daynon Blevins said.
The 12 and 18 percent contribution toward health care premium costs amounts to several thousand dollars more than contributing 1.5 percent of HEA members' salaries, Parker added.
"This was where we knew we could give back the most in concessions," she said. "The concession of going into the state insurance plan saved about $2 million for the board."
Starting the contract on April 1 rather than July 1, the day after the current contract expires, also saved $250,000, she said.
A New Jersey Education Association salary expert will need to approve the tentative contract and provide a salary guide for the district before the board and HEA can approve a final contract. The salary guide would need to be accepted by both bodies before a final contract vote occurs.
While the district avoided privatization in the budget place on the election ballot, voters must still accept it. If it is voted down, the Township Committee will approve a reduction amount and suggested reduction areas. The district is only bound to the reduction amount, however, since it can choose the areas it will reduce.
"We will then meet with the Township Committee and talk with them about our budget process," Schiff said. "I'm going to meet with them to present the budget to them so the members have a working knowledge of the process prior to the election. The Board of Education is going to have to look at all cost drivers to make a determination as to what it is going to make the most important."
"That is going to be a big problem because we made all these concessions with the hope of saving all these jobs," Parker said. "We do want them [the board] to look at other ways [to balance the budget]. We're hoping that if the budget goes down, they will look at other opportunities to save money."

Transmorgy this, transmorg that - so BORING and tired of reading umpteen articles on this issue. Yes, having some itemization can be nice - but cripes, after a while, so sick and tired of seeing so many damned articles on this assinine little thing that really does absolutely nothing for gameplay.
And people commenting on having more hairstyles with the barber too - again, jeezus, have heard so much from this vocal minority.
I am a pet and mount collector myself (before anyone wants to argue how pets and mounts are not part of gameplay), and I agree that these items do not really add anything to gameplay either. It is nice to see new ones, I will collect what I can - but do not need (and really, there are one 1 or two, or more often none) many writeups each time one is added.
Nina Katarina said...
Um - plenty of people do read this, and it costs you nothing to scroll past it. It does plenty for gameplay. Just not for the gameplay YOU enjoy.
If you're not interested just skip it. I like the articles, I'll keep on reading them.
It's really nothing to get angry about.
Why did you bother commenting to this article if you have no interest in it? O_o
Oh, I know! It's because you're a troll looking for attention. Well, here's some attention for you. It's my Christmas gift to you.
So you better not pout, better not cry, better not shout, I'm telling you why...

The Dangers of Vaccinations
Erin Schumacher, Guest Writer
Waking Times
Many people are of the opinion that vaccinations are one of modern medicine's greatest achievements, preventing suffering and saving lives! But did you know that no reliable safety study has ever been performed on any vaccine and evidence suggests that they are both ineffective and harmful?
Viera Scheibner, Ph.D., a world authority on vaccines stated in her book Vaccination that "Immunizations not only did not prevent any infectious disease, they caused more suffering and more deaths than any other human activity in the entire history of medical intervention."
Other Pertinent Viera Scheibner Quotes
And yet each generation is subjected to more and more vaccinations. And as a result, we are seeing more and more immune dysfunction diseases. Many children have had over 20 vaccinations before they reach first grade.
Let's break down what is actually present in vaccines. They are a toxic soup of various substances that should never be injected into the human body including:
- foreign proteins and viruses from chickens, guinea pigs, calves, and monkeys
- mercury (a neurotoxin)
- ethylene glycol (antifreeze)
- formaldehyde (a carcinogen)
- aluminum (a carcinogen and associated with Alzheimer's)
- antibiotics like Streptomycin (which can cause allergic reactions)
- any many more!
Is this something you want to put into yourself or your child to prevent disease? Find me one study that says they actually do what they are meant to do. I don't think it's possible.
Instead various studies show that vaccines can cause:
- encephalitis (inflammation of the brain) which can cause permanent brain damage, autism, behavioral disorders, dyslexia, and antisocial syndromes
- immune dysfunction diseases
- damage to the nervous system
The decision about whether to vaccinate or not is up to you. But consider it carefully. If vaccinations actually do what they are promoted to do, then an un-vaccinated child should NOT pose a threat to a vaccinated child at school. Compulsory vaccination laws exist in every state in the United States, however, there are always legal exemptions. Learn what exemptions are available where you live. Usually there are medical or religious exemptions.
To avoid an infectious disease, you don't need to have a vaccination. Instead you need to keep your immune system strong!
From the very beginning, breastfeeding builds a strong immune system in the child and protects against many infections. Avoid allergenic foods like dairy and wheat. Allergic reactions lower immunity. Eating a highly nutritious diet consisting mainly of raw, organic fruits and vegetables helps to build a strong immune system. Remove "white foods" from your diet such as white sugar and white bread and white rice. Refined sugars (and white products that convert instantly to sugar in the body) are well-known to suppress the immune system.
In general, practice daily exercise, eat a good diet free from allergens, toxins, drugs, and alcohol, supplement with probiotic rich food and drink, and you will maintain a healthy immune system.

not had any my 3 children shot-up. thanks for the article.
No references, no links to any credible supporting documentation, doesn't say what phd she has, doesn't link to any of the research she claims shows evidence of negative effects of vaccination. Complete load of shit. People don't believe this dribble. Go and get your kids vaccinated!
Your have been misled. Dont believe everything they tell about health.
Hi Erin! Thanks for sharing valuable info on the dangers of vaccines. I live in the Caribbean with my wife, a lovely daughter
and my bless grandson whom I love dearly. I don't wish to have my
grandson vaccinated at all, however I'm unsure of the legal methods
required to prevent this from happening.I would truly be grateful for your advice on this matter. Thanks you Greatly!
I love how this article is completely one-sided and basically pushing your thoughts and beliefs on people. Before you go quoting someone who has a Phd why don't you actually research her. Her Phd is is for Geology/Paleontology. She has no medical training. Just because someone has Phd behind their name and feels a certain way about something doesn't make them a qualified resource. Also why don't you ever see people talking about the consequences if a child does contract an illness they could have been vaccinated against.
