"I was very pleased with the level of customer service on creating these programs for our wedding. Unable to make headers myself, I asked WPD to make headlines and they did and it turned out beautifully. We also love the quality of the paper. We are so excited that this will be the first piece everyone sees on our wedding day."
"Everyone absolutely loved this! I ordered this program in Shamrock. They were beautiful. The paper was thick, the printing very clear and appropriately sized, the design in person is better than online, and the customer service was fantastic. It also shipped very quickly after approving the proof."
"I used this as a program/menu/ etc. I loved the design and the customizations available. Great fonts, color, but paper should have been thicker like an invitation would be. Too bad but still a beautiful card."
"These are the most gorgeous programs! The printing quality and paper quality is excellent. They make it so easy with suggestions on how to make your program look better. The proofs are sent to you quickly and after approval, they are printed and sent. I had a rush on my Wedding programs and they came through for me! I got my programs a day before they had promised. I also ordered my invitations, response cards, and reception cards from WPD and they were also top Quality. They set the tone for my Wedding. I would highly recommend them!"
"Beautiful progrmas that were very high quality and well made! We got the programs a day early and the customer service was great - although there was some confusion on express service :)"

The two worked together in Houston and Tennessee, with Williams serving as an assistant and later defensive coordinator for the Oilers and Titans. Schefter reports that the Saints are already on the market for a coach to replace Williams. Former Rams head coach Steve Spagnuolo and Miami defensive coordinator Mike Nolan are both candidates, although both men may also be candidates for the Falcons' opening. Promoted Stories Comments

The location is just perfect in the north of the medina - but still on walking distance to all the sights.
We were welcomed by our wonderful hosts that gave us many tips and answered all of our questions.
We highly recommend staying in this little corner of happiness...
We had a wonderful time and the place was lovely . Our hosts were very helpful and informative guiding us to the best spots to go in marrakech. Thankyou.
We had a great time staying with Cristiano. The place is beautiful and Cristiano is an amazing host and we were really well looked after.
I stayed a few of riads and hotels in Marrakesh, and can say this was the best one!!
Clean room, western style interior with local Moroccan building, location, and warm hosts...
Restaurants or spa Cristiano and his wife recommended were quiet nice.
I also liked a kitty named "Neko" :)
Very attentive, kind, reliable and dignified hosts. I could rely on everyone for pertinent information and bookings. I had nearly a 15 day stay. The riad is spotless and breakfasts are very good. The air conditioning was a must have on hot days. Beatriz felt like a friend who helped me make the most of my stay. Cristiano was a reliable backup on days I was lost. Emanuel packed a must have snack for me on the way to the Sahara and an encouraging word before the long trek. Sarah was a great second pair eyes during some souk negoitations and calculations. Very nice people who genuinely want you to enjoy your time in morocco and make this a priority while you visit.
I use airbnb often when traveling and this has by far been my best experience. Cristiano and his wife Sarah were amazing. From the moment we arrived they were so welcoming. Sarah made sure to set up all the excursions we wanted to attend And had great advice for us. Truly some of the nicest people I have ever had the pleasure to meet. The accommodations looked just like the pictures. Very clean and just what we needed. Great location as my friend and I were able to walk almost everywhere. I would recommend you stay here when in Marrakech.
Beautiful riad and fantastic location. Hosts were so friendly and welcoming, would definitely recommend!
Cristiano and his wife Beatrice are very friendly and helpful hosts!
We felt very welcome at their beautiful Riad.
The place is just great.
Our room was also very nice and one could see it had been thoughtfully furnished.
Well chosen local details gave it an authentic flair.
Not overdone, just so right to keep it simple.
The breakfast was lovely to have at the airy roof terrace.
We would definitely love to come back!
Thank you and Grazie mille guys!

My little one rolls all over the place and just recently is getting up on her hands and knees. She loves to blow rasberries. One of my favorites is she just started reaching for me with both arms, so I can pick her up. She loves to be kissed..and will give open mouth kisses..if you say "give me kisses". Just turned 5months two days ago..cant wait for all the new things to come this month.

Mail of the week from the FIM was to announce that Vito Ippolito and his buddies just had their first board meeting in the new FIM HQ, the boss declaring that it had been well worth spending mega bucks of your licence fees because "the efficient concept of the new building will help the staff to work more effectively and enable the FIM to make substantial savings. It also offers the possibility of hosting meetings with all the FIM stakeholders." Architect Antoine Robert-Grandpierre - wonder how much hew coined ? - reckoned "the idea was to design a pleasant and appropriate working environment to promote interaction and communication with openness, with clear views to the outside world. The circular building, imposing in terms of its general form, includes a continuous and open façade. This concept is also followed through inside, with the central spiral staircase at the heart of the building benefiting from an abundance of natural light that reflects an extended notion of the hallway where people can exchange ideas. From the inside of the building the concept is clearly one of transparency, but still with some level of privacy. The final part of the concept was to have this building sit in a park. The resulting trees and grass will give a green feeling around the building by next spring." Circular buildings always were space effective of course, wasting 21% externally, not to mention the "courtyard" wastage in the middle ... but if that, multiplied by horrendously high ground costs in Geneva, lets staff natter in the corridor, it's obviously worth it. I wonder when they'll be calling in Greg Atkins to make better use of the surrounding land than planting some poxy trees ? :P

The MX GP Commission - that's GL, Skilly and some Japanese bloke - hung around for a day after the Nations to deliver two doses of crap and one long overdue amendment. First the good news. Riders can switch to their second bike AFTER the sighting lap in future; both are in the pre-parc and the updated ruling will not only cover a defect, like the one which cost Livi Lancelot the WMX title, but also enable the lads to have a look at the track on a muddy day without crapping up their race bike. As to the other two changes, just shake your heads, lads.

While Onuchic and Wolynes have been advancing their theories for decades, only recently has it become possible to test their implications for evolution using two very different approaches they developed on the shoulders of their previous work.
One of the algorithms they employ at Rice's Center for Theoretical Biological Physics (CTBP) is called the Associative Memory, Water-Mediated, Structure and Energy Model (AWSEM). Researchers use AWSEM to reverse-engineer the folding of proteins whose structures have been captured by the century-old (but highly time-consuming) process of X-ray crystallography.
The other model, direct coupling analysis (DCA), takes the opposite path. It begins with the genetic roots of a sequence to build a map of how the resulting protein folds. Only with recent advances in gene sequencing has a sufficiently large and growing library of such information become available to test evolution quantitatively.
"Now we have enough data from both sides," Wolynes said. "We can finally confirm that the folding physics we see in our structure models matches the funnels from the evolutionary models."
The researchers chose eight protein families for which they had both genomic information (more than 4,500 sequences each) and at least one structural example to implement their two-track analysis. They used DCA to create a single statistical model for each family of genomic sequences.
The key is the selection temperature, which Onuchic explained is an abstract metric drawn from a protein's actual folding (high) and glass transition (low) temperatures. "When proteins fold, they are searching a physical space, but when proteins evolve they move through a sequence space, where the search consists of changing the sequence of amino acids," he said.<

My daughter is 13 mo old and she is showing interest in using the spoon herself. I want to let her start trying but not sure what foods to try. I'd like something that she can be successful but make the least amount of mess. Any suggestions?
Not sure how to introduce a spoon..
Comments (7)
There's always going to be a mess in the beginning. If you really just want her to practice, try something dry like Cherrios. My DD is 13 months too and she mainly just stabs at food with utensils...lol.
We did oatmeal the first time lol. We were lucky that she took to it naturally!
I let my daughter eat yogurt with a spoon. It is messy, but she has success. Otherwise, I will actually give her a spoon with anything that she is eating and she tries and every once in a while a carrot or something will stick to her spoon.

You are going to have to learn to live with the mess that she is going to make!
Sorry but I don't think there is any way to avoid it.
My LO has been using a spoon for about 3 months now...he is doing GREAT but even after 3 months...I can't say he doesn't make a mess...!
dd gets a spoon/fork with just about anything that she eats that requires one. Put the food in a bowl and let her have it it...She makes a mess...but most of the time she does a good job...She still uses her hands to eat as well, but I rarely ever feed her myself anymore. We have a dog so the mess is cleaned up pretty quick (from the stuff that gets thrown that is) And I dont mind wiping hands and face off after every meal

"The Pre-Mammogram Foundation is proud to make SureTouch more accessible to women everywhere," said Eli Yered, Chief Financial Officer of the Pre-Mammogram Foundation. "The many benefits of the current SureTouch system will be amplified by enabling connectivity via 3G wireless technology."
The SureTouch Wireless system is a small, easy-to-use device that consists of a 3G-enabled sensor, touchscreen display, and the SureTouch network. During a breast exam, the clinician uses the sensor to scan the breast and collect images of the tissue. A Bluetooth wireless module provides two-way communication between the sensor and display, allowing the display to provide real-time feedback to help the clinician collect proper data. When the clinician is finished performing the SureTouch Wireless CBE exam, the patient information and exam data are automatically uploaded to the SureTouch Network. Centralized servers on the network receive and process the data, which clinicians can then access using a web browser. Clinicians also have the ability to replay previous exams, compare images from multiple exams and print summary reports.
MTI developed the sensor technology and the application software, The Pre-Mammogram Foundation provided project management and clinical assessment and Qualcomm supported the effort with an initial grant, project management and engineering support in the form of industrial, mechanical and hardware design. Qualcomm also provided software development and integration support to facilitate sending exams via the 3G network.
"SureTouch has the potential to change the way the world detects breast cancer," said MTI Founder and Chief Executive Officer Jae Son, Ph.D. "With the development of SureTouch Wireless, we can now bring the benefits of early detection to countless numbers of women all over the world, of all socioeconomic backgrounds, who would

Hi All,
I'm creating my first wordpress plugin - which is adding a new form to the add/manage areas of the admin site to allow a new content type to be written to the database...
I've got all the nuts and bolts working just great - but I'm struggling to get the tinyMCE plugin to match the controls/functionality of the default 'new post' / 'new page' style pages.
Can anyone give me some tips?
I've included the supplied tinymce javascript file, and am using the following few lines to initiate the wysiwg:
theme : "advanced",
plugins : "safari,inlinepopups,autosave,spellchecker,paste,wordpress,media,fullscreen,wpeditimage,-cforms",
mode : "textareas",
elements : "post_body",
width : "565",
height : "200"
Any pointers really appreciated.

Considering Wheelchair Accessibility on Cruise Vacations
Dec 6, 2011, 11:17 a.m.
Modern Cruise Ships Improve Wheelchair Accessibility
Planning a cruise vacation takes time and care. Most newer cruise vessels include selected handicapped cabins with wheelchair accessibility. However, the extent of the applied adjustments may not be fully adequate to your requirements.
Handicapped travelers expect to find grab bars, elevated toilets, ramped bathrooms, roll-in showers, and wider doors to the bathroom and the cabin. On some ships, the public rooms are also equipped for wheelchair accessibility. However, ship corridors are typically very narrow, and sometimes unmarked as to their suitability for handicap navigation. In some cases, even fire exits are not adequately identified.
Many cruise vacations lead to disappointment for the handicapped voyager. You must make certain to ask comprehensive questions. Leave nothing to guess work. Paying extra for a cabin that accommodates wheelchair access is one thing. Paying extra for a service that sadly lacks fulfillment can lead to extended levels of frustration and fatigue.
Shore excursions can also be a major complication. Few cruise vacations include accessible tours. Advanced plans that include rental of a wheelchair accessible van may prevent a number of frustrating problems.
Avoid False Wheelchair Accessibility Claims
Cruise lines sometimes take great liberties with their definition of wheelchair accessibility. The following resources will help you avoid false accessibility claims:
- Access-Able Travel Source
- Justice Department Addresses ADA Violations
- Bermuda Travel For the Disabled
- Disability Travel and Recreation Resources
- W.M Keck Center for Collaborative Neuroscience
Informed choices ensure that your cruise vacation is not hampered by unforeseen wheelchair complications. Cruise lines are regulated by the handicap rules prevalent within their homeport nation. Look up the laws that govern the cruise vessels.

LookAfter Hair CompanyRead MoreDuring more than a quarter century at the helm of LookAfter Hair Company, Peter Hall has seen the styling industry gradually split in two directions—toward the high-end salon and toward the in-and-out fast cut place. With LookAfter, Peter decided to close that gap. There, guests can get premium salon services on a walk-in basis and haircuts from stylists who will gladly slow down for careful consultations instead of racing through trims with stopwatches in their hands. The name LookAfter is meant to reflect this blend and to demonstrate his vision for a place where the staff stands ready to serve all clients, whether they need keratin treatments, eyebrow waxes, or beard trims. This approach has helped LookAfter grow to more than 40 locations across St. Louis, Kansas City, and central Illinois, and the idea has also led to ongoing community outreach. Stylists have helped raise money for disaster relief, support breast-cancer awareness, and generate funds for veterans' programs by carrying haircare products from American Warrior.3736 Monticello PlazaSt. Charles, MO US

I don't mind taking the time to listen to my clients and making sure to give them exactly what they want down to the last detail. I never rush anyone who sits in my chair, I love you all! What was the inspiration to start or run this business? My inspiration for wanting to be a stylist was the desire to help others feel good about themselves! What do you love most about your job? Giving people a confidence boost is the most rewarding part :) What is the best reaction you've ever gotten from a customer? I'm often told that I am patient, attentive and a good listener. Many stylists have great skill, but it's rare to find someone who also has empathy. Your stylist needs to care about you and not just your money! And my clients appreciate that I do just that - I care.4693 State Highway NorthSaint Charles, MO US

A Signature Course seminar group of thirty UT students gave $100,000 to five charities this week. It's not their money, or the University's; it comes instead from an anonymous foundation that wants to do good simultaneously in two ways—give to charity and help students learn the ways of generosity. Philanthropy: The Power of Giving, led by Dr. Pamela Paxton of the Population Research Center in the College of Liberal Arts, centers around student discussion on:
A similar course was taught by Dr. Paul Woodruff, inaugural dean of Undergraduate Studies, in the spring of 2012. The Art of Giving also centered around giving away $100,000 to the charity or charities that students determined were most deserving. Read more.
The course also covers the history and current state of American giving and volunteering, American giving in comparative perspective, the causes and consequences of philanthropy, and how to evaluate charitable programs. At the end of the course the students decide, on their own, how best to use the money. Dr. Paxton explained that she "focused on how to evaluate charities, and how to evaluate when charities are effective in their programming, because some charities are effective and some are not."
Dr. Paxton has intersecting research interests in pro-social behavior, politics, gender, and methodology. She is the author of articles and books on social capital, women in politics, and quantitative methodology. Her research interests focus on gender stratification in politics, pro-social behavior, and quantitative methodology. Dr. Paxton is currently contributing to the burgeoning literature on generosity to explore how individual and country-level contextual factors interact to produce generous behaviors such as giving and volunteering. She is also exploring the reciprocal relationship between social capital and health behaviors and health outcomes.
In gender stratification, Dr. Paxton has explored the determinants of women's political representation across countries, explaining women's political achievements and setbacks over more than a century. Recognizing that a focus on recent cross-sections limits women in politics research, she has advocated for the use of longitudinal theory, data, and methods. For example, using longitudinal data on women's political representation from 1893 to 2003, Dr. Paxton explained how the growth and discourse of the international women's movement affected women's acquisition of political power over time. Her new research demonstrates how domestic women's movements combined with international

Huffington Post: Occupy Wall Street: At Zuccotti Park, Conflict Arises Among OccupiersQuicklink submitted by Scott Baker Permalink
Become a Fan
(68 fans)
|Events at Zuccotti Park, the epicenter of the Occupy Wall Street movement in Lower Manhattan, have become increasingly dramatic in recent days, as egos have clashed, visions competed, and the unity of the protesters has been questioned.
The debate over whether or not the protesters should draft a list of demands led to a New York Times piece that dominated a recent General Assembly discussion. Along with complaints from area residents and continued pressure from the city about cleanliness and noise, growing concerns about safety and theft on the premises, and the proposal of a Spokes Council which for two nights in a row failed to gain consensus from the GA, it has been a long week at Zuccotti Park.

GEICO: 75 years young today!
By Greg Marsh on September 9, 2011 at 8:43 AM
Posted in: Marketing & Communications
Strike up the band and let's get this party started! It's GEICO's birthday today! Yes, the company Leo Goodwin had the nerve to launch during the Great Depression is now 75 years young.
I say young because, unlike some septuagenarians, GEICO still acts like a brash upstart in many ways. Our ads amuse some and befuddle others, but we've unquestionably shaken up the insurance marketing world. Since we broke the "comedy barrier" in insurance advertising, you've surely noticed that many of our competitors also now take a more light-hearted approach in their ads.
And while some 75-year-olds may be leery of change, we're certainly not set in our ways. GEICO pioneered 24-hour service and telephone claims adjusting decades ago, and these days we're the industry leader when it comes to mobile devices – just check out all the apps we offer at geico.com.
I invite you to check out our 75th anniversary video or the brief history of GEICO on our website if you want to know more about this remarkable company. I have a ways to go before I get to 75, but when I do, I hope I have as much energy, creativity and good humor as GEICO does! Happy birthday to us!

Utrecht was once again a city that initially deceived me.

Also, my bike was terrible. I felt scrunched. And it was heavy.

Release Date:
December 14, 1999
At only 22 years old, Steve Winwood sat down in early 1970 to fulfill a contractual commitment by making his first solo album, on which he intended to play all the instruments himself. The record got as far as one backing track produced by Guy Stevens, "Stranger to Himself," before Winwood called his erstwhile partner from Traffic, Jim Capaldi, in to help out. The two completed a second track, "Every Mother's Son," then, with Winwood and Island Records chief Chris Blackwell moving to the production chores, brought in a third Traffic member, Chris Wood, to work on the sessions. Thus, Traffic, dead and buried for more than a year, was reborn. The band's new approach was closer to what it perhaps should have been back in 1967, basically a showcase for Winwood's voice and instrumental work, with Wood adding reed parts and Capaldi drumming and occasionally singing harmony vocals. If the original Traffic bowed to the perceived commercial necessity of crafting hit singles, the new Traffic was more interested in stretching out. Heretofore, no studio recording had run longer than the five-and-a-half minutes of "Dear Mr. Fantasy," but four of the six selections on John Barleycorn Must Die exceeded six minutes. Winwood and company used the time to play extended instrumental variations on compelling folk- and jazz-derived riffs. Five of the six songs had lyrics, and their tone of disaffection was typical of earlier Capaldi sentiments. But the vocal sections of the songs merely served as excuses for Winwood to exercise his expressive voice as punctuation to the extended instrumental sections. As such, John Barleycorn Must Die moved beyond the jamming that had characterized some of Traffic's 1968 work to approach the emerging field of jazz-rock. And that helped the band to achieve its commercial potential; this became Traffic's first gold album. William Ruhlmann, Rovi

Box Office Machina Sparks
Furious 7 and Home dominated the charts just like last week and Cinderella logged its fifth consecutive week in the top five -- she's got legs, that girl with in the glass slippers.
The only new wide release The Longest Ride, came in third. It's on the lower end of the nevertheless very consistent scale of Nicholas Spark adaptations. They've never opened below $10 million but average out around $17 million for a first weekend. The Notebook (2004) remains the most successful overall though it also opened in the lower end of the range. So only time will tell how popular the latest one is.
01 Furious 7 $60.5 new (cum. $252.5) Review
02 Home $19 (cum. $129.5)
03 The Longest Ride $13.5 NEW
04 Get Hard $8.6 (cum. $71.2)
05 Cinderella $7.2 (cum. $180.7) Review
The point is that Nicholas Sparks is as much of a brand as, say, Marvel movies or Bond pictures. The plots and actors may vary from film to film but you mostly know what you're going to get.
This snarky dismissal made me giggle:
No, I WON'T be seeing the new Nicholas Sparks movie! I expect to see a man hold a lady's face, not simply adjust her hat
Meanwhile in limited release While We're Young continues to perform for Noah Baumbach despite its initial mixed response with criticss, and Ex Machina, Alex Garland's directorial debut was the biggest movie in limited release with a quarter million despite only 4 screens. The other strongest "per screen average" belonged to the Juliette Binoche/Kristen Stewart duet Clouds of Sils Maria which we'll talk about real soon.

Experiments were undertaken to determine the feasibility of tracing sediment movement in interrill overland flow. Crushed magnetite was introduced as a source-line 10 cm wide by 8 m long on a runoff plot 18 m wide by 29 m long located in southern Arizona. Initial magnetic susceptibilities along this source line, and along three transects located 0·25, 2·95 and 5 m downslope of the source-line, were measured. Movement of the magnetite in response to three rainfall simulation experiments was monitored. During the first two experiments, overland flow discharge was sampled at miniature flumes located along two cross sections on the plot downslope of the source-line, and at a supercritical flume at the plot outlet. Magnetic susceptibilities along the source-line and transects were measured after all three experiments. Results show that the magnetite moves very early in the experiments and that it reaches one of the flumes 2 m downslope of the source-line in 3 min. Most of the tracer moves a very short distance: 29·7 per cent is deposited within 25 cm of the source-line and only 2·2 per cent is deposited 2·95 m away. The deposition rate appears to decrease exponentially away from the source-line. Very little magnetite is recorded in the flow through the miniature flumes: in general it makes up less than 1 per cent of the total sediment load. No temporal pattern in these percentages is observed. Magnetite appears to be an effective tracer of sediment movement in interrill overland flow, though its higher density than natural soil may affect its detachment and transport.

Taster Session....
Session 1 is completely free
When things get tough at work it is hard to think of compassion as a solution to any of the problems we are dealing with. It's tempting to think that compassion is a 'soft' skill that we can only engage with when we have the time, or things are going well. Nothing could be further from the truth.
Compassion is a trainable skill that we can develop. It is an effective and practical way of working with the challenges that face us every day when we have to deal with difficult work colleagues and impossible clients.
