I am giving it another try, I really want to get into digital, but I have always been too...impatient.
This time I am going to do it good.
Since my pc killed photoshop, I am colouring in Manga Studio.
You can't really think big with it for what concerns colours but it's a good thing to start.
to begin with I have inked one of my drawing digitally, and I am really happy with it.
I am now cell shading the hair.

Girls from all over the council traveled to Duluth for not one, but two, council trips featuring the city! Younger girls visited the Great Lakes Aquarium, the zoo, and stayed overnight at the Duluth Children's Museum. Older girls came two weeks later and traveled to Gooseberry Falls, Brighton Beach, the Glensheen Mansion, and more! Despite chilly weather, the girls saw lots and got to know other Girl Scouts from different areas. Below, the girls brave the waves of Park Point Beach!

Our Kaleidoscope event in Superior, WI was a smashing success! Hosted by the University of Wisconsin-Superior, girls had the opportunity to reach the top of the climbing wall, learn from the UWS cheer and dance teams, try out rugby and build teamwork skills on the low ropes course. Adults learned about Girl Scout camp, tried their hands at leather working, and got to know each other throughout the day. Girls and adults alike tried cake decorating--they had a blast designing and then eating their creations! We also honored Silver Award winners Caitlin Podratz, Ahna Suliin, Lindsey Shykes, and Jara Moir, Volunteer of Excellence award winners Laura Gomez, Laurie Audette, and Jamie White-Farnham, and Thanks Badge winner April Rasmussen. It was a wonderful experience for all!

Sit by the fire my love,

caress you softly,
soft as the
suggestion of my touch
fluttering gently on your
skin yet slowly
fading, as frail embers
quit their glow
and sputter cold.
My passion shall o'ercome
flame's waning appetite
and keep you warm,
'til stars rescind

Neurotransmitters versus Secretions Help
Neurotransmitters versus Secretions
The synapse between two neurons, like the neuromuscular junction between a motor neuron and a muscle fiber, employs a special type of chemical communication (see Figure 15.1, A and B). Specifically, vesicles within the axon terminals of an excited neuron rupture and release neurotransmitter molecules (such as acetylcholine). The neurotransmitter molecules then diffuse and bind to the membrane of either another neuron (in the case of a synapse) or a skeletal muscle fiber (in the case of a neuromuscular junction). In both cases, however, there is a type of chemical communication between cells that occurs with the release of neurotransmitter molecules.
Glands And Secretion
But there is another mode or way of chemical communication between cells. This mode is called secretion (sih- KREE -shun). Secretion is literally the "process of separating" – the separation of certain substances from the bloodstream, followed by their release.
The secreted (see- KREE -ted) substance usually comes from epithelial cells. Remember that epithelial tissue is the body's main covering and lining tissue. But it also occurs within glands . A gland is a "little acorn" – a rounded, somewhat "acorn"-shaped mass of one or more epithelial cells that have become specialized for the function of secretion.
Exocrine ( EK -suh-krin) glands are glands of "external" ( exo -) secretion that release some useful product into a duct, which then carries the secretion to some body surface (study Figure 15.1, C). A good example of exocrine glands are the sweat glands of the skin, which secrete sweat into numerous sweat ducts. Sweat, as you no doubt remember, is a useful product because it helps cool the body and prevent hyperthermia (excessive body temperature).
Endocrine ( EN -doh-krin) glands , in contrast, are glands of "internal" ( endo -) secretion that release a hormone into the bloodstream, right within the gland itself. A hormone is literally "an arouser" ( hormon ). A hormone is a chemical messenger secreted into the bloodstream by an endocrine gland. It gets its name from the fact that the hormone often "arouses" (stimulates) certain target cells in the body to increase their activity. The target cells of the hormone may be located far downstream, but the blood will eventually circulate to bring the hormone molecules to them (see Figure 15.1, D).
The endocrine glands, like the nervous system, are vitally important in both communication and control of the internal environment within the bodies of vertebrates. In fact, it is sometimes very hard to separate the nervous and endocrine systems at all! In these cases, we use the term neuroendocrine ( NUR -oh- en -doh-krin) system to describe them. The neuroendocrine system is an organ system that contains parts of the nervous system, as well as parts of the endocrine gland system. Thus, communication can occur via release of neurotransmitters (the nervous component), and also via secretion of particular hormones into the bloodstream (the endocrine component). We will now describe some specific examples.

Tax Systems: Currently we have a mixture of paying tax as you earn and spend.... shouldn't we rather move to pay tax as you spend only?
We have different tax systems over the world, but they mostly tax people on what they earn??? Shouldn't we move to tax systems that tax people only on what they spend? In other words get rid of all other taxes and raise spending taxes like VAT sufficiently. This will have some positive and negative effects. Let's discuss them and see how it weighs up to current tax systems.
Showing single comment thread. View the full conversation.
Aug 19 2011: Let's look at another comment from Ryan:
"......Spending money is what makes the economy better, this would also discourage spending which ends up hurting everyone's earnings and thus would lower the amount of Gross income everyone receives in the end.. thus you end up with a similar or smaller amount of net income even without earnings taxes and then you are also taxed when you spend that smaller amount of money......."
Spending money is also the very downfall of the economy as we can see from the HUGE problems facing USA at the moment? And even more so for spending money that you don't actually have......DEBT......
If you take the taxes that people are paying now, and you add the debt factor to it, you will see that it adds up to more then the % from a VAT only system......The illusion that debt creates at the moment is what you are saying is good for the economy?
A VAT only system will educate the masses in a forceful way to lean towards saving......This is what we need in the world today......a Saving mentality.....Not just in finances, but in everything, and especially resources......The industrial movement created the illusion around spending and DEBT, and the spending mentality......we all know that we can NOT go on like this.......nothing keeps forever, and we are spending resources faster than we can create it. The natural resources will also deplete in time, and what then? what will we have to spend then????
Aug 20 2011: Ok, let's talk about that debt. Lets say we never borrowed any money.
That borrowed money built factories, roads, schools, products, patents, part of that debt led to research that built out the internet. We would not have any of those things, you wouldn't have a cell phone, because the telecoms wouldn't have had the cash or business model to envision running high speed internet lines across the entire world or monetizing frequency for cell use without the government loaning the money to them or giving them tax breaks to push that innovation. That kid that invented a pivotal part of your flat screen, or satelite, or even that MRI machine that might save your life one day would not have been able to go to school if the government had not provided the security for his bank to loan him that money by loaning it to them with a 100% guarantee.
We wouldn't have most of the things that were developed in the last 20 years without the government either A. Raising taxes or B. borrowing money that was sitting around being "saved" by someone else.
A savings account that doesn't invest in someone (like a government or business) is a savings account that actually loses value with inflation.. who wants to save their money in an account that becomes worth LESS as time goes on?
So, our "debt" is someone else's "profit" and our advancements in technology and achievements are our "prizes", living in a better world that is being made better every day in many different ways
Aug 20 2011: everyone who is sane understands when it is feasible for a household to borrow. only when it comes to states, reasoning like yours can be uttered without outrage following it.
when an ordinary man borrows money, he might do it to start a business, which will generate higher yield than the interest rate. what about the government? can we say that the US invested the money and now reaps profits above the interest rate? or can we say that the US is so better off now that the increased GDP causes increased tax revenues, so paying back the debt is not an issue? where is that profit? where is that GDP increase?
young couples also borrow money when in need. they sacrifice future joys in order to get a fridge right now, to be able to start a living. it is a conscious decision. one has to be careful though, not to overcommit. but this is the case with the US? the US is ready to give up future consumption in order to get necessary items today? does not seem so.
what is the most dangerous thing to do when it comes to debt? in my book: borrowing for consumption to bridge the gap between desires and reality. and then borrowing money to pay back the debt that is due. this is the downward spiral everyone knows. just ask anyone in harlem or in kenya, whether it is a good idea to borrow money to get a nice dress, and then borrow more when you need to pay back. we all know that this can only lead to disaster. but when the state does that, everyone is giving us smart talks about how reasonable that is.
ps: i'm talking about the US here, as you are american. but please feel free to substitute any other country. they all do the same. the state is dumber than any ordinary person.
Aug 20 2011: Our debt is not money we want to spend (that's our budget) it's money we have already spent and must be paid back.
What we do and do not spend money on today (the budget) is based on our ability to decide correctly if we will have the financial resources to pay it back later.
There are two fundamental activities that together are the most effective way to bring our debt back down to reasonable levels. It is the same strategy that any financial consultant worth their salt would tell you. It is what we do as individuals and as families. The two activities are:
1. Reduce spending wherever possible and humanely appropriate
2. Increase income (revenues) iwhereverpossible and humanely appropriate.
Aug 21 2011: From your comments I can see that Krisztian and Jim see the point I was trying to make on debt.
Jim said....
"....1. Reduce spending wherever possible and humanely appropriate
2. Increase income (revenues) iwhereverpossible and humanely appropriate......"
Will this not happen in a VAT only system?
Aug 21 2011: Also, if you buy the fridge now, and pay three times for it over the next three years, isn't it better then to get people into planning mode? If you are going to get married then you know that you will be needing a fridge, so save for it. If you don't buy on debt, you will have three times more in a lifetime than what you can have with debt.....

Old barn looks good except leaning a little LOL
Nice one!
Whether it's sinking or just "tilted," this barn has leaning walls, like the famed tower! Nice pic, Lyndee!
I don't think it's tilted; I think the back is sinking. Look at the foundation. Either way, it's a lovely puzzle of an old corn crib. You don't see them too much any more. Around here, they seem to be tearing the old buildings down.
LOl Laurajane. I thought it was working good.......but I guess it makes pictues lean!
This is an unusual barm with those two things on the roof. Very nice, lyndee. How is the new camera working out?
Nice jab on the opening that pg left you, pumpkin!Oh yeah, nice photo, lyndee!
Them's fighting words punkin!! I like the lean lyndee - good find!!
Cool, I like it, lyndee!! Thanks
The barn is tilted, PG. You aren't tilted ..you are simply twisted.
Nice lyndee but is this barn tilted or is it me. I knew I should not have said this.
Lookin' good lyndee.
This a dandy old corn crib lyndee! Thanks
That's a nice old barn Lyndee

Bag's Take-Away:
Italy's new welfare minister breaks down as she announces austerity measures and is unable to say the word "sacrifice." She has a future. Maybe. But what a gift to her boss. I won't go into the gender politics of Monti having to step in and provide the word "sacrifice," what matters to me is that the government bought at least temporary immunization from the type of public sentiment demonstrated in Greece.
(photo 1: abc news photo 2: Zuma Press caption: Italy's welfare minister, Elsa Fornero, started crying as she spoke during a press conference Sunday on the country's new austerity package. Prime Minister Mario Monti and his government were outlining a new three-year, €30 billion ($40.17 billion) austerity plan.)

also not coming
BC guys evaluate Bates's tenure positively.
[Bumping this to the top because it's relevant for today - Tim]
You asked for it.......multiple times, so here it is. I was going to wait, but I figured it would give everyone something to do. This is the same as the Spring Game list, this can change, it's not set in stone, and it's only the people I've confirmed so far. There are more people coming (I'm assuming), I just haven't gotten in touch with them yet.
also not coming
We need this kid. Somebody wrap him up some a that BBQ.
Somebody get this kid up here!!!!
Gotta love the fact that 5 of 6 guys are OL/DL players(so far). If we can get a few quality line commits in the near future, recruiting becomes a lot easier for the rest of the class.
Thanks for the list Tom and I'm glad we are in good position for many OL
I thought dee hart was coming? what happened?
It's been up in the air, and now it looks like he won't make it in. Hard to afford another trip so soon.
It says nothing about Michigan's standing in his recruitment.
yeah hopefully he still has us as his leader after his camp at Alabama in June. I hear Hasean Clinton-Dix is really pushing hard for him to go to bama.
Nice work as always. Any word on DeAnthony Arnett or Justice Hayes? I'm guessing those guys were invited.
comments on OL Ray Ball. I would love for a kid like that to have a great time at the BBQ, see what a great place M is, and then seriously consider becoming a Wolverine.
Your hard work is always appreciated.
Well...lets hope we can get some of these guys to commit! I think after we have a good season, they will come at U of M like a tidal wave.
....how should i interpret D. Hart not coming?
a. Draw a warm bath and find a razor blade.
b. All is well
Not Tom, but like I said...no worries. It says nothing about Michigan falling out of his top spot (because they haven't).
His father can't make the trip and the whole point for him coming to another event was for his father to get a look at the school. That is what they are saying on both Rivals and Scout.
The answer is B.
Is it safe to assume that all of our current commits are invited?
Need to get Frost up here..
Would it be a recruiting violation if all of us sent $5 or $10 to him via PayPal for gas money so he can drive up to Michigan?
Any word on if the Glendale boys were invited?
Isn't that in California? Who are we recruiting from Glendale?
Though I think he means Scottsdale, AKA the home of Chaparral High, AKA the home of Andre Y.
I think.
Or maybe he meant Glenville....
Yes, I meant Aundrey Walker and Cardale Jones from Glenville, OH. Sorry for the confusion, but any word on these two?
There is also a Glendale, CA. It's actually much bigger than Glendale, AZ (over 200,000 people). I actually live about 2 miles from Glendale.
It's weird that Deion Barnes didn't get an invitation. I'm slightly confused by that. And I can't imagine that hearing Michigan didn't invite him to a party will help us in his recruitment. Maybe the coaches aren't interested anymore...? They just offered him in the last few weeks, so I wouldn't think their interest would have waned so quickly.
Coach Rod doesn't screw around with recruiting, and he tells the recruits that we are interested in them, and if they are in us, only then we will continue the recruitment. He also tells them that they will earn their scholarship and playing time. Often this doesn't sit well with young recruits. For example, last month at the NFL Draft, I asked Rod Woodson why he chose Purdue over us, and he said it was because we wouldn't guarantee he'd start his first year but Purdue would. Supposedly our guy who recruited him (Wilson) wouldn't guarantee him anything.
This no-nonsense approach may explain the reason why Barnes was not invited, ie, he wasn't showing true interest in us. So, in that view, it makes total sense. I'm not saying this is the case, however.
All this may be well and good, but I don't believe you because it's not all about Denard.
Unfortunate that some of the recruits can't make it, but understandable. I just hope we have enough BBQ for the recruits who are coming - did we plan for a giant in advance? We may have to feed him a running back.
If I learned anything from The BFG, it's that most giants won't be satiated unless they eat some children. If you're a parent in the Ann Arbor area, you might want to keep a watchful eye on your kids.
...or the slot receivers.
Love the Roald Dahl reference.
Not sure if this was the Dahl reference. I hear BFG, I think Brandon F***ing Grahm. In this case children and slot WR, you are safe. QB's, RTs, and RBs beware, you will be eaten.
this post was moved, as a reply to MGoShoe's post.
This definitely makes these OT threads more bearable
A number of people in this thread commented on how well we're doing with linemen. I actually looked at this list and had concern for how well we're doing with linemen, at least offensive linemen. It's good to see that we're high on DL's, but we don't have that big of a DL need (lots of freshmen and sophs this fall, as well as 2 juniors starting).
We do, however, have a big OL need (4 players brought in over the last 2 years) and it's the most important position group on the team, IMO. There's no doubt in my mind that RR will be able to bring in solid offensive position players, so if we can field a very good Oline, we will have a dominant offense. The 4 guys we've snagged the last couple years all seem to be very good players, but I'd really like to see more quantity.
Agreed. We have a good shot at a couple offensive linemen (Zettel, Walsh), but it would be nice to have a few more guys who are high on Michigan.
Dont you think that, like most other positions this year, OL recruits will become more interested in us if we have a good to great year?
8 wins will work wonders for our recruiting.
No doubt about that. But for a lot of good prospects, by the time we get 8 wins (unless those 8 wins are over our first 8 games) it will already be too late. Now, if we win 10 or 11 games, it will get the attention of kids who are already deep in their recruitment. But if we have to wait until late November before the kids we want start noticing us, it's probably too late for most of them.
Now, if we have 5-8 solid OL prospects who already have interest in us by the beginning of the season, 8 wins will probably be enough to get the commitment from 3-4 of them.
I think "quality O-linemen recruiting" will be the "we need defense" meme for the rest of the year.
After, AFTER, Michigan completed a 5-7 record last year, RR secured the commitments of Jibreel Black, Demar Dorsey, Cullen Christian, Davian Rogers, Jake Ryan and one or two others I'm forgetting about.
Why you'd have any concern about RR finding 4 quality O-linemen recruits, given his ability to switch committed kids, boggles my mind.
I never said I have concern he will find them. But we all know your stance on recruiting jg, so I don't know why you ever comment on here.
My "concern" if you will, is not that we won't be able to find 4 guys who play OL to commit to us, it's that we aren't in on many of the bigger names early, and our class will fill up soon. Last year we had a lot of scholarships to give out, so it wasn't much of a space issue. This year, it seems that we have offers out to so many guys that if they commit, we might again have a small OL class, limited by room in the class, not by talent.
Also, of the guys you listed that committed after our season, Jibreel and Cullen were high on us from the get go, Demar was the question mark, and Rogers and Ryan were LB's we got once the plan A guys committed elsewhere. I'd rather not do that this year.
Regarding your last sentence, guess what - you and I have no say over recruiting.
How do you know Michigan's not in on a bunch of high quality O-linemen recruits? The offer lists on Scout and Rivals directly refute your allegation.
And finally, RR might have a bunch of scholarship offers out, but it's not like he'll fill up the class with WRs and forget to bring in O-linemen. This was the same complaint re:, wait for it, the defense last year. It ended up that 15 of the recruits last year were defense, despite this board's whining mid-summer. Just like last year, if Michigan has a need, they'll fill it.
Now watch the soccer and relax.
Are we in good position for Walsh? If so, can I have a link please? I thought Notre Dame would be a strong player since his good friend is Chris Watt, an Irish commit in 2009. Is Andre Y gonna stay on the West Coast, USC or Oregon are we a definite player in his recruitment. I think Zettel will be blue but other than him I am extremely worried about our OL recruits.
Wash likes Michigan according to TomVH. I don't have a link, but he mentioned that at one point.
(eg Wormley) or is it for 2011 only?
I was wondering the same thing. I guess I really have little knowledge of the BBQ. I have paid attention to the Spring game each year but have never checked out this event. I searched the site and mainly found topics on whi is and is not attending (and even past years.) Anyone willing to give a quick overview of the BBQ?

Plebeians lived
in apartments called flats. For those who had businesses, these
would be above their business. If their building had more then
two stories, they would rent out the upper floors to other plebeians.
These type flats were usually spacious and pleasant. Sometimes they
even had running water.
If you were just a workman or
unemployed, your apartment was not nearly so nice. The poorer
people were crowded into one room flats, and had to haul their water in from
the local fountain. There would be no bathroom or toilets; they
had to use the public bathrooms. They would cook, sleep, and eat
in the single room, with sometimes 15 or 20 people in one room. Fires
were frequent as was disease and epidemics.
Patricians, the rich nobles, lived differently. While
the whole family (parents, children, grandparents, aunts, uncles, etc.)
all lived in the same house, this house would have rooms for all of
them. The house would be built with an open area in the center,
the courtyard, where most of the cooking and eating took place.
There would be rooms for entertaining as well as an atrium. The
homes were frequently made of brick or sandstone blocks, with tiled roofs
and growing plants around.
They would have offices if needed and
maybe even a private bath. There would be paintings, sculptures and
mosaics around. If they were wealthy enough, there would be slaves
to do all the cleaning and cooking.

DE Ray Edwards -- If Edwards had stayed in college at Purdue another year, he might have been a late-first or early second-round pick. But, after disagreements with the coaching staff that limited his time on the field in 2005, Edwards sought his fortunes in the NFL and, due to a reputation – whether warranted or unwarranted – he fell to the second day of the draft and will be battling for a roster spot as a backup DE. As a sophomore starter in the always-tough Big Ten, he recorded eight sacks and has the promise to be one of the potential third-down/passing-down replacements for Lance Johnstone. He will be up against players like DeQuincy Scott, a free agent late of San Diego and Darrion Scott, a utility defensive lineman.
S Dustin Fox -- Fox is something of a forgotten man after breaking his left arm during the preseason last year. Taken in the third round of the 2005 draft, Fox was viewed by the coaching staff as a player who could compete for a backup position behind Darren Sharper and Corey Chavous. The competition at safety will be more difficult this season with the return of Willie Offord, the free agent signing of Tank Williams and the drafting of Greg Blue. With that in mind, the coaching staff switched Fox to cornerback, a position he played more often in college. He will have something to prove this year because, while the old regime obviously saw something it liked in Fox, the Childress Administration has bolstered the safety and cornerback positions.
DL Ross Kolodziej -- His name may be unfamiliar to a lot of Vikings fans, but he saw considerable playing time for the Arizona Cardinals and has the versatility to be one of the players fighting it out for the final roster spot on the defensive front. He finished fifth in the University of Wisconsin tackle list with 170 tackles. With Childress' ties to Wisconsin, it is likely he got a glowing report on Klodziej and will give him a chance to make an impression and make the team. He will be fighting for a backup spot behind Kevin Williams and Pat Williams, in competition with guys like Darrion Scott, Spencer Johnson and C.J. Mosley.
LB Kyle McKenzie -- He comes with a strong NFL bloodline – his uncle is former NFL star Reggie McKenzie and his brother is current NFL player Keith McKenzie. Although he went undrafted, he is viewed as an ideal candidate for a defense that runs the Cover-2 and could have a chance to unseat one of the veteran players if the veteran falls in disfavor with the new coaching staff. For now, he's considered a longshot, but he could be a developmental guy if nothing else.
DE DeQuincy Scott -- An unrestricted free agent that the Vikings went after once free agency began, likely at the behest of then-general manager Fran Foley, who had personal experience with him at San Diego. As a reserve DE in 2005, he recorded 4.5 sacks and will be in the competition to face a designated pass rusher. It's possible his battle for a roster position could come down to him or Ray Edwards.
Cooks Says He's Ready for Versatility
Position flexibility has been a mantra for many of the players acquired by the Vikings this year,…

A somatomedin C test, also called an insulin-like growth factor-1 (or IGF-1) test, helps doctors evaluate whether a person is producing a normal amount of human growth hormone (hGH, or somatotropin).
HGH is produced by the pituitary gland, the pea-sized gland in the brain that helps control growth and the function of other glands. Somatomedin C is a protein produced in the liver and muscles that's known as a growth factor — its production is stimulated by hGH.
While hGH levels vary throughout the day depending on diet and activity levels, somatomedin C levels in the blood are more stable, making its measurement a fairly reliable indicator of how much hGH the pituitary gland is producing overall.
The somatomedin C test is primarily ordered to check for pituitary gland disorders and abnormalities in growth hormone production. Symptoms such as short stature or excessive growth (gigantism) may warrant a somatomedin C test.
The test may also be used to assess a child's nutritional status, because malnutrition may reduce somatomedin C levels.
Your child may be asked to stop eating and drinking for 10 to 12 hours before this test. On the day of the test, it may help to have your child wear a short-sleeve shirt to allow easier access for the technician who will be drawing the blood.
A health professional will clean the skin surface with antiseptic, and place an elastic band (tourniquet) around the upper arm to apply pressure and cause the vein to swell with blood. A needle is inserted into a vein (usually in the arm inside of the elbow or on the back of the hand) and blood is withdrawn and collected in a vial or syringe.
After the procedure, the elastic band is removed. Once the blood has been collected, the needle is removed and the area is covered with cotton or a bandage to stop the bleeding. Collecting blood for this test will only take a few minutes.
Collecting a sample of blood is only temporarily uncomfortable and can feel like a quick pinprick. Afterward, there may be some mild bruising, which should go away in a few days.
The blood sample will be processed in a laboratory. Because this isn't a common test, the results may not be available from the lab until a week or two after the sample is drawn.
The somatomedin C test is considered a safe procedure. However, as with many medical tests, some problems can occur with having blood drawn:
Having a blood test is relatively painless. Still, many children are afraid of needles. Explaining the test in terms your child can understand might help ease some of the fear.
Allow your child to ask the technician any questions he or she might have. Tell your child to try to relax and stay still during the procedure, as tensing muscles and moving can make it harder and more painful to draw blood. It also may help if your child looks away when the needle is being inserted into the skin.
If you have questions about the somatomedin C test, speak with your doctor.

October 13, 2012 Recap
PHILIPPI, WV - Junior forward Samantha Engel (Dryden, NY/Dryden HS) scored twice to lead the Daemen Wildcats to a 3-1 road victory today as they defeated the Alderson-Broaddus Battlers of NCAA Division II. The win is Daemen's second straight propelling them to 5-8 overall on the season. The Battlers drop to 9-4-1.
"We were able to finish plays today when we needed to, which is something we've struggled with at times this year," said Daemen head coach Dan Dolan. "Defensively we were strong and consistent. Overall, this is a really good win for our program."
Engel got Daemen on the board when she scored on a penalty kick in the 13th minute. The Wildcat tally came minutes after the Battlers had their own chance on a penalty kick that rang off the crossbar.
Engel struck again with her team-leading sixth goal of the season and 25th of her career in the 32nd minute. Junior midfielder Alexa Amato (Grand Island, NY/Grand Island HS) broke loose up the sideline and sent a crossing feed to the middle of the box where Engel booted it home, upping the Daemen lead to 2-0.
Later, freshman midfielder Kim Obermeier (Depew, NY/Depew HS) scored on a free kick in the 53rd minute to give the Wildcats a three-goal cushion.
The Battlers would get on the board when Nicole Lehman scored in the 67th minute, but they would get no closer.
Daemen's Kayla Hampton (DeRuyter, NY/DeRuyter HS) made three saves to pick up the victory.
The Wildcats go for their third straight win tomorrow when they face the NYIT Bears in Old Westbury, NY. The Bears (5-7) are members of the East Coast Conference which Daemen will join in 2013-14.

Commerce Success Story: S. 7th Street Revitalization
May 30, 2014
Most Philadelphians have heard about the Italian Market on South 9th St. Did you know that there is another ethnically branded market in South Philly? In the 1980s, thousands of Cambodians moved to the U.S.A.as refugees. Many of them settled down and started their new life in Philadelphia. "Philadelphia has one of the largest Cambodian American Communities in East Coast on South 7th Street. Many Cambodians from NYC or Delaware drive to South 7th St. on weekends to shop here," said Leap En Thach, the Marketing Supervisor of UnitedHealthcare Multicultural Community Center (UMCC). You can find traditional Southeastern restaurants, boutiques, craft/gift shops and groceries on South 7th St.. However, the vacant retail spaces and antiquated storefronts lessen the appeal of this commercial corridor. "Trust, safety, and cleanliness are the key to revitalizing this corridor." said Rorng Sorn, the Executive Director of Cambodian Association of Greater Philadelphia (CAGP).
Samuel Kuang-hsien Chueh, City of Philadelphia Business Services Manager, understands the importance and challenges of South 7th Street. He has worked with the Asian American Chamber of Commerce of Greater Philadelphia (AACC), Americorps Vista Volunteers, Cambodian Association of Greater Philadelphia (CAGP), and UnitedHealthcare Multicultural Community Center (UMCC) to support businesses on South 7th Street with a series of workshops, outreach and corridor cleaning. Many businesses were hesitant to try City programs in the beginning. "I spoke with several businesses about city programs. They're hesitant to believe that the city will aid them without asking for more taxes." said Putery Long, the Youth/Family Director of CAGP. "To break the ice and keep the corridor safe, we are helping them (Cambodian businesses) apply for the City's 50% reimbursement grant for business storefront improvement and safecam program. We hope trust can be built after the businesses receive the City's support." said Chueh.
After many years of effort, Mekong Video, a Cambodian entertainment business located at 2218 S. 7th St., submitted their application for the City's Storefront Improvement Program in 2012. "The Storefront Improvement Program (SIP) application from Mekong Video was the first from the 7th Street commercial corridor and the first from a Cambodian business." said Jonathan Snyder, Sr. Program Manager of Philadelphia Commerce Department. Since the SIP applicants still need to pay 50% of the expense themselves, the Commerce Department, CAGP, and AACC also helped Meckong Video acquire additional financing assistance to finish the façade project. Finally, the new and improved storefront was revealed last winter.
It took more than two years for the Commerce Department and all its partners to overcome the language and cultural barriers before unveiling the first new storefront on South 7th Street. This new storefront succeeded in catching people's attention and increasing Mekong Video's business traffic. "Our business received a 10% increase after getting a new storefront. We really appreciate everyone's help and we're really willing to help promote the City's program on this corridor. " said Sandy K. Chan, the owner of Mekong Video. Chan's new storefront and success also motivate other businesses along 7th street to improve their façade. The Commerce Department has received many calls from South 7th street asking about SIP. Chueh and Snyder believe that more businesses will apply for this grant and create a new image for South 7th Street.
In order to keep serving and helping more Southeast Asian businesses in Philadelphia, AACC has hired Cindy Suy, who is fluent in English and Khmer, as Program Manager. "We will keep working together and promote the business diversity of this wonderful city. South 7th Street is definitely one of our focus corridors in the future." said Nick Shenoy, the Director of AACC.

Geburtenbarometer: Monitoring of Fertility in Austria and Vienna
Geburtenbarometer Austria and Geburtenbarometer Vienna (launched in May 2010) are interconnected projects of the Vienna Institute of Demography, aiming to provide continuous monitoring of period fertility rates in Austria and in Vienna. They have three main objectives:
- Monitoring recent fertility trends in Austria and Vienna on a quarterly and monthly (for Austria only) basis
- Providing a set of parity-specific fertility indicators that are less affected by the ongoing change in fertility timing than the commonly used period total fertility rates (TFR)
- Providing detailed data on annual fertility developments
Latest quarterly report: Fertility trends in Q1-Q2/2013 (in German)
Latest annual report: Fertility in 2012 (final results, in German)
Dataset with annual and quarterly data for A ustria and Vienna (in Excel, in English and in German)
The Geburtenbarometer provides quarterly and annual reports and regularly updated datasets. All fertility indicators are computed from the extracts of individual birth records supplied by Statistics Austria. Monthly and quarterly monitoring of fertility allows the evaluation of most recent fertility trends in conjunction with the relevant information on changes in family policies or various socio-economic indicators. The Geburtenbarometer provides the ordinary TFR as well as the set of parity-progression ratios, based on birth interval (duration since the previous birth). A summary indicator of fertility derived from these parity progression ratios is termed the period average parity (PAP). Compared to the ordinary TFR, the PAP has two main advantages: it is relatively little affected by the changes in fertility timing and, being an indicator based on parity-specific approach, it is also more consistent with the sequential nature of childbearing and thus approximates more closely the family-building behaviour of real birth cohorts.
Fertility rates in Austria: monthly trends since January 2000
Fertility rates in Vienna: Quarterly trends since 2002
Period total fertility rate in Austria and Vienna since 1951
Annual fertility indicators: Vienna and Austria since 1984
Fertility indicators in the last quarter, compared to the same quarter of the previous year: Austria and Vienna
Note: The time series of the PAP are computed in an annual format and differ considerably from the averages of monthly data

MolenVliet Wine and Guest Estate was the perfect backdrop… a festive high tea was held between the vineyards and guests tucked away on wedding cake and petit fours. Stir Food ensured that delectable canapé's were served, each kind a tribute to the couples favourite country. Guests were led by a jazz duo to the reception in the courtyard where a long glitzy, candlelit table awaited them. For the overture, guests dined on salmon, done three ways for the ladies and cured venison for the gents. For mains a feast of whole beef fillets and free-range chicken where served, accompanied by bowls of pomme lyonaisse, Provençal style vegetables and frisse aux lardon salad. Simone from The Aleit Group perfected each detail and ensured that Daniela and Casper shared the most romantic day of their lives without a worry in the world!
As Daniela and Casper gazed into each other's eyes during their first dance, it was the groom's turn to shed tears of joy. Their love is tangible and everyone can see that this is a match made in heaven!
From the couple
Dear Simone and Aleit,
Casper and me really want to say thank you for the most amazing wedding.
For me it has been an absolute dream come true and I consider myself extremely lucky. Not only did I get to marry an amazing man, but also got THE ALEIT TEAM to organize my wedding. As soon as I told Micky that Casper proposed, she was telling me that we had to get Aleit to plan the wedding. It was a done deal even before I met you all.
Simone I cannot thank you enough, I had so much fun working with you and have to compliment you on your patience. The only person who could reassure me that everything would be ok and keep me sane was you! Thank you for turning my ideas into reality and showing me the most breath- \taking venue. And thank you for your many fantastic ideas, like the high tea as the pre-dinner drinks. Many guests said that they enjoyed that part of the wedding so much as it was so intimate, relaxing and beautifully done. The decor of the entire day was fantastically done and turned the whole wedding into such a truly glamorous fairytale!
One of our guests from Geneva wrote in the guestbook, "Thank you for ruining anyone's future wedding plans with the wedding to overthrow all weddings." Hahaha I guess they will just have to get the Aleit team to organize their weddings as you would be the only team who could top this.
I could go on and on about all the things we loved about our wedding, but I think the one thing which really shows that it was an absolute success and how happy we were, were Casper's tears of joy at the last dance! (Also one of my favourite moments of the day…)
We really hope that you enjoyed the day as much as we did... and I miss you all very much already!!!!
Big hug
Daniela and Casper
