"This was the perfect invite for my daughter's 11th birthday. She's too old now for the cutesy invites and she's not a frilly girl, so this was perfect. I'm very pleased with the quality."
"These birthday invitations are perfect! Bright colours, nice large photo space on front and complementary photo space on back, artsy font, and strong cardstock paper. Our friends have been raving about the invitations!"
"Loved this invitation! It was perfect for our daughters birthday. Easy to customize and order how you want, you can even change the font size if needed. Party attenders and others love this card. They love the colors and how it reminds them of my daughter. Definitely will be ordering again. Thank you."

A compilation of selected data on solar radiation at sea level
U.S. Navy Marine Engineering Laboratory, 1967 - Science - 7 pages
A spectral distribution curve of solar irradiance at sea level, over the range of 0.3 to 15.0 microns, is presented. This curve was developed from data compiled by Moon in 1940, high altitude solar irradiance measurements reported by Johnson in 1954, and atmosphere transmission measurements reported by Gebbie, et al, in 1951.

Google has reached an agreement to acquire navigation app maker Waze in a deal believed to be valued upwards of $1 billion, beating out rivals Facebook and Apple, which were also rumored to be mulling a bid for the startup.
Google has reached an agreement to buy navigation app maker Waze in a deal believed to be valued upwards of $1 billion, beating rivals Facebook and Apple, which were also rumored to be mulling a bid for the startup.
The much-rumored deal was confirmed by Waze chief executive Noam Bardin on a company blog.
"We are excited about the prospect of working with the Google Maps team to enhance our search capabilities and to join them in their ongoing efforts to build the best map of the world," he wrote.
Waze, which currently boasts nearly 50 million users, offers map and traffic data services using satellite signals sent from smartphones. The firm was reported to be in discussions with Facebook last month, as the social network giant looked for ways to strengthen its Home offering.
But according to Israeli website Globes, that deal foundered on Facebook's insistence that the developers moved to the U.S.
Brian McClendon, VP of Geographic Services at Google said, "The Waze product development team will remain in Israel and operate separately for now. We're excited about the prospect of enhancing Google Maps with some of the traffic update features provided by Waze and enhancing Waze with Google's search capabilities."
Maps have become a key battleground in the smartphone wars, not least because of the self-inflicted damage Apple unleashed with its calamitous release of its own geo-location app for iOS 6.
Waze has attracted suitors partly in recognition of how accurate its traffic updates are in areas where it has gained critical mass. The app uses a crowdsourcing approaching to traffic monitoring, providing real-time updates on routes.
If the deal goes ahead, it would be among the largest acquisitions Google has made. It paid an eye-popping $12.5 billion for handset maker Motorola Mobility in 2011, but has largely focussed on smaller deals. At the $1.3 billion price tag being widely reported, the deal is not far off what Google splashed out for YouTube in 2006.

About Me
Letting go of some real nasties from long ago and sleeping and feeling better.
I am honing up my act to be more creative and have more fun.I like to think I am tolerant and open minded. I live with my wife and teenage son (altho he spends most of his time at Granada Uni) who help me with this! We live in an old stone house in the country about 2 Km.from Orgiva which is between Granada and the coast. Our daughter is 24 and lives and works in Brussels.
I love the sea, the sun and the mountains. I like to walk, cycle, CANOE, camp and occasionally SAIL.I AM CURRENTLY LOOKING FOR PEOPLE WITH WHOM TO SHARE SAILING in Greece.
I like peace to ponder life. I am an aspiring, sad, happy, tolerant, intolerant person who hopefully is becoming a better one through meditation, therapy, my children, my wife and life! Oh yes and I practice Subud Latihan, a sort of moving attunement meditation.
Our mission on this planet is to be who we truly are, the best we can be, and to encourage the growth of fellowship and love.I want to leave the world a better place than it would have been without my life.
Why I'm on Couchsurfing
We host and surf. More of the former altho it may change now the offspring are going!
We would like to host anyone who thinks they will fit in, especially spanish speakers as we need the practice! We prefere the over 30's as otherwise it is all too easy to get into (or be put in) the role of parents!
I dont keep a count of numbers but i have exchanged references with most so that gives an idea of how many and whom.
As well as above, especially the kayaking and sailing, I enjoy photography, I like to read and participate a little in politics/campaigning for Greens , friends of the earth and similar via the internet. I am also getting into playing chess and have taken up Yoga.
I find people fascinating and love to talk about life and how to live it. What it is to be a human being. I am interested in getting close to people, beyond the everyday level of interacting.
Music, Movies, and Books
Corny I know but I love the feel good factor in Love actually and About a boy (the films).Older favourites are 'Elephant Man' and 'One Flew over the Cuckoos Nest'. I like films and books that ask questions about life, people and relationships.
I love music of many sorts, especially classical, folk and world and the pop music i grew up with. Nowadays I like some of the more subtle pop and sample a bit of what my daughter listens to.
One Amazing Thing I've Done

Being overweight is bad for your health and it can interfere with how you feel about your body as well. Being obese is linked to heart disease, cancer and joint problems. It can he hard dieting on your own and sometimes you need a little help. This is where diet pills come in. Read on to learn more about diet pills for weight loss.
While many diet pills claim to dissolve fat, this simply isn't true. It takes more than a pill to melt away fat and take off the pounds. It takes exercise and a radical change in your diet to effect permanent results. Diet pills can help aid and support your diet however. They make the most of your diet and can help you lose extra pounds.
When you combine diet pills with weight loss you have the best chance of losing weight for good. The pills can complement your diet and they perform valuable functions like suppressing your appetite and giving you the energy you need to get through your day. It can be hard to diet when you are constantly hungry.
The food cravings can build up and make it difficult to get through the day. You find that you are always thinking about food and craving the foods you aren't supposed to eat. Not having to think about food all the time gives you a huge sense of freedom and it lets you enjoy the rest of your day without wondering what you are going to eat. The extra energy is helpful as well.
When you are buying diet pills you want to do some research on them first. It is crucial to buy pills that are safe. Some diet pills are dangerous, and you will find out which ones are which when you start doing some research on the pills you re interested in. There is even some confusion about natural supplements. While they seem like they would be safe, some of the natural ingredients are actually quite powerful and have been linked with heart problems.
Be aware that fat burners don't always do what they say. The best way to truly burn fat is to exercise for at least 30 minutes most days of the week. This has a direct effect on your metabolism and will allow you to naturally burn fat.
It is a good idea to talk with your doctor about any diet pills that you are thinking about taking. Your doctor might know about any health risks that are associated with the pills and can go over all the potential benefits and risks with your. Your doctor might also have some great ideas about diet programs you can go on that don't involve pills.

The challenges of preserving Midcentury Modern homesBreaking News
When it comes to historic preservation, every generation is dismissive of buildings from the recent past in favor of those that go further back in time.
As Rice University architectural historian Stephen Fox put it, "Each generation has its own ignorance of recent stuff."
In the early 20th century, preservationists referred to the Victorian era as "the dark ages" and eschewed its buildings for colonial and federalist-styled ones that predated them, Fox said. Twenty-five years later in the 1950s and 1960s, the preservationists deemed all things Victorian to be the "cutting edge of taste," but derided 30- to 40-year-old Art Deco-styled buildings as "too decorative." In the 1970s and '80s, this style was embraced for the same reason it was once dismissed....

Primitive bicirculant association schemes and a generalization of Wielandt's theorem
Abstract | References | Similar Articles | Additional Information
Abstract: Bannai and Ito defined association scheme theory as doing ``group theory without groups'', thus raising a basic question as to which results about permutation groups are, in fact, results about association schemes. By considering transitive permutation groups in a wider setting of association schemes, it is shown in this paper that one such result is the classical theorem of Wielandt about primitive permutation groups of degree , a prime, being of rank at most (see Math. Z. 63 (1956), 478-485). More precisely, it is proved here that if is a primitive bicirculant association scheme of order , is a prime, then is of class at most , and if it is of class exactly , then for some natural number , with the valencies of being , , , and the multiplicities of being , , . Consequently, translated into permutation group theory language, a primitive permutation group of degree , a prime and , containing a cyclic subgroup with two orbits of size , is either doubly transitive or of rank , in which case for some natural number , the sizes of suborbits of are , and , and the degrees of the irreducible constituents of are , and .

LumensThe amount of light that comes from a bulb, which has commonly been measured in watts. The more lumens, the brighter the bulb.
WattageA measurement of the power delivered to a component of an electric circuit (allowing a one-ampere current to flow through the component under the pressure of 1 volt.)
Bulb ShapeBulb shapes are denoted with a letter, which describes the shape, and a number, which indicates the size. The number indicates the diameter of the light bulb at its widest part in eighths of an inch.
BaseThe part of the bulb that connects to the fixture and its power supply. Bulb bases are denoted with the letter E, and a number which indicates the diameter of the bulb base at its widest part in millimeters.
VoltageIndicates how much voltage a bulb can accept via the fixture it's installed in.
Light Color TemperatureThe relative color from a light source, measured on the Kelvin temperature scale. Warm light is lower in color temperature (2700-3000 K) and cool, blue light is higher (5000 K).
Average Rated LifeThe average amount time that a bulb is expected to last.
CRICRI = color rendering index. This number, which can go from 0 to 100, measures the ability of a light or bulb accurately renders colors. The higher the number, the better, with most quality bulbs these days measuring at least in the 80s.

Ladies and gentlewolves, I come before you today,
To speak on an issue that is close to our hearts.
For many centuries, we Wolves have struggled;
Continuing to seek a final solution to 'the Human Problem'.
Many of you might have heard of the horror stories,
Of these furless creatures lurking in the outer reaches.
Some cities have found them living in underground caverns;
Preying upon the young pups that stray too close to their nests.
It is sad, to say the least, but that sorrow ends today;
For it is my privilege and honour as Chairman of Lycanthropes United,
To unveil our newest means of combating this parasitic pandemic.

Discovered a particular genetic weakness in the Human cell structure,
When sprayed with this particular gas, 'Cynofium',
The human cells stop producing an important chemical;
Causing a quick death in mere moments...

There is tale around the Galbin Coast,
Of a black ship that appeared on the Winter Solstice.
It arrived at a town near Bismarch,
Struck heavily by famine and crop plagues.
The ship drifted silently upon the ocean currents,
Not a creak nor groan could be heard from its frame.
It docked at the port like an ominous reaper's vessel;
A metallic boarding ramp - much like a daemon's tongue -
Slithered slowly from its deck to meet with wooden jetty.
The crew descended, wearing black cloaks and black hats,
Fedoras, I believe they were called.
These figures made little noise as they moved,
walking slowly, silently and solemnly,
Carrying huge rucksacks upon their backs.
One by one, they dispersed throughout the town,
They went from house to house, distributing food,
Gifts and other things of the like.
For the first time in a long while,
The town was filled with laughter and joy.
Children actually giggled and smiled,
While adults breathed a sighs of relief and ea

We are dreamers, we humans.
We reach out eagerly to that which lies above us
Tempted by its unattainable nature and egotistically;
We simplify the task that lies before us...
We climb without any forethought, without preparation;
Recklessly we charge head on for our goal -
And eventually, we lie broken by our failure.
I myself, Captain as you call me,
Am little better than a foolish dreamer.
One who dreams in a childish manner;
Unaware of his impotence, when left alone.
How many times have I been saved by others?
When I lack time, it is my officers who stand,
They keep the ship running smoothly,
Expending hours of precious effort.
When I fall, it is my co-captain who rallies me,
And reminds me of our responsibility -
One that we owe to our readers and friends.
When I write, it is my team - my uncles,
Who lay the path before me;
They give their time and their heart,
Supporting my work from its birth as but a simple idea.

When I was young I was taught that pain begets pain,
Anger and animosity, malice and cruelty;
So deeply inflicted, so lovingly gifted.
I tasted of its rotten core and dared to call it sweet.
But what do I have to show for it?
White hot scars that burn in my dreams.
Reminders of a fragmented bi-polar self;
Self inflicted propaganda, to reinforce the "truth".
Truth so lovingly fabricated by a weakness within,
So desperately crying out for vindication;
Openly denying all that might shed light upon me,
Seeking only the company of shades in shadows...
Within four walls I sleep in exile;
Quietly pretending that I am still sane,
Never noticing how it has all turned out;
Alone I remain the same...
Never reaching, never living; I am free within the cage

To the edge of the very abyss I have travelled.

Shambling ever onward, toward the glimmer of light.
Eager to be behold the 'she' that awaits me:
A wonderous wellspring of inspiration and knowledge;
Perfect, yet fragile, in both shape and form...
It is her majesty, her radiance,
That leaves me drained...
Alone in the depths, I am humbled and awed.
Yet the admiration that I feel soon turns corrupt,
It renders my thoughts both dark and cracked...
For if any other were to find her,
They would wield her as a weapon.
They would have no need for inspiration.
Creative thought would be an utter simplicity:
Leaving a perfect world, without opportunity...
Indeed I could never share such a thing.

Incense burned to create a semi-choking sensation.
A tiny inkling of the perceived suffering,
But it is enough to make this difficult...
Next, wounds are carefully opened.
Patterns carved into the flesh,
Resembling the nine circles of suffering.
As each begins to form a red river,
An ocean pools beneath my stained elbows.
In the distance I hear the cackling of witches;
Accompanied always by the mad shrieks of those beyond.
Already they can taste the red wine that I ooze
And eagerly, their tongues wag; anticipating the feast.
Concentrate...I have to concentrate
My teeth grind together, as I force them shut,
The pressure causes my jaws to ache and my body soon stiffens.
It seizes up like an iron vault, my mind its secret mechanism;
Twisting, turning, seeking the accepted combination.
I can feel them now, reaching for me...

Hearts broken; some warm, some cold.

He runs his fingers through her hair and is content.

Marveling at the disparity and wondering -

"Yes, yes, indeed we have to review this...er, many things are involved."
His face is powdered with a layer of self-importance;
Lips reddened by the polite harshness he spews.
His forked tongue flickers as he prattles on
And you're really getting quite tired.
"Oh I'm sorry! Of course, of course I understand; but my way is much better!"
You're getting really bored now, so you take a look around the room.
The expectation is to see it bedecked with acolades;
Yet bare walls, cold and empty, are all that greets you.
"Are you listening to me, I'm telling you why this isn't good enough. LISTEN TO ME!"
You take a look at the cup of coffee you were offered,
Cheap and lukewarm; you narrow your eyes.
"Is there a problem? I'm being honest, this is for YOUR OWN GOOD!"
These Hands Are So Red...These Hands Are So Red...These Hands Are So Red...3 years ago in Free Verse More Like This
These hands are now red and so slicked with this blood,
I can't even wash it in a basin of mud...
As I scrape at the skin of those demons I chase,
I am left with a smile mixed with pain on my face.
Since I swore I would savour this blatant disgrace,
Let perversion be writ in these scars I will trace.
From the tip of my shoulders to the base of my tongue,
Are the names of those sleepers so cold and so young...

I Like To Play With SkinI Like To Play With Skin:I Like To Play With Skin2 years ago in Free Verse More Like This
Breathe -
My dear friends and watch,
As the feeling of life itself
Crumbles beneath each ounce of pain.
Needles slowly piercing into the body,
Paralyzing nerves and expressions.
A mask of pure horror; living terror,
Kept alive on the barest limit of the border.
Such tempting features,
Leave me eager to slip a knife beneath flesh.
Ripping soft layers of epidermal mache,
Tanned and dried, woven slowly into a loving mask.
And with my latest acquisition complete,
Only twenty spaces remain...

Chasing Shadows of You...Chasing Shadows of You...Chasing Shadows of You...3 years ago in Free Verse More Like This
No matter the years that pass me by,
It seems I am forever trapped.
For when it comes to deceiving myself,
I'm afraid I'm rather apt.
In the end the truth which I sought to avoid, is now knocking at my door...
A rabid rat that chews at me; one I can't ignore.
And though I might have grown this body, from the lonely years I've seen.
I'm afraid I can only chase the shadow, of my dearest Angeline.
- Chen Yuan Wen, 14th January 2012
A Polished White SinkA Polished White Sink:A Polished White Sink2 years ago in Free Verse More Like This
If I had to call this world a blessing;
I think I'd say 'I find it damn depressing.'
You might think I'm stupid from how I'm dressing,
But this is just the heart I feel like wearing.
I see street corners and absent youth;
Don't pretend you don't ever see the night.
Cause when it turns dark, the maggots start crawling;
Looks like God decided to shut out the light.
I can warm my hands on fire and watch the people go,
They don't know who I am, I just go with the flow.
I see streets that seem empty, clogged to the brink;
But that's the reality deep beneath the sink.
It looks clean on the outside, polished porcelain white,
But inside of the pipes are what you keep out of sight.
Yet they're already straining and distorted with strain;
Soon the flood water comes flowing, wash away with the rain.

UndyingUndying:Undying3 years ago in Free Verse More Like This
How many days do you spend now, putting me down?
The coffin call for a dead man waiting around
"He's just an underground laughing stock, never to rise"
But on the seventh day I'm coming back; these are my ties!
The kind of promise that you made with the devil inside
You try to take away my soul, but I take it in stride
I ain't a doll that is crushed by the weight of his pride
I am the real and the raw of the things you denied!
You're playing snake games, selling oil, pass it off strong
You're just a pot head, weed dead, smoking your bong.
You try to look away, play and hide; apathy's best
But I'm the kind of bad boy you don't put to the test!

A Special Happy BirthdayA Special Happy Birthday:A Special Happy Birthday3 years ago in Free Verse More Like This
Your birthday is a special day,
It comes but once a year.
And so I've made this little poem
For those that I hold dear.
You've lived and grown another year
And now you've come of age.
It is time for you to show yourself
Upon this worldly stage.
Some are artists, some are troops
Some are sportsmen throwing hoops.
Some are writers, some are bad,
Some might be the best we've had
Others are fixers, others will fax
A gamer might use some mighty hacks;
There is a plethora of choices for you,
So do what in your heart is true.
But for today let us just have fun
Rock the world and then be done.
For a birthday comes but once a year
And yours my friend is finally here!
"Happy Birthday to you, I wish you all the best and may all your wishes come true."
-From Chen Yuan Wen, to all the November birthday kids, 5th November 2012

Popular Kid Costumes! What Was Your Favorite as a Kid? [POLL]
What to be, what to be? Yes, Halloween is just around the corner! And the kids are bugging you about what they want to be for Halloween
What to be, what to be? Yes, Halloween is just around the corner! And the kids are bugging you about what they want to be for Halloween
Halloween is coming up, and we all know what that means: Christmas stuff starts showing up in stores any minute now. Also, on Halloween weekend, we'll be going to lots of haunted houses, haunted garages, haunted mazes, haunted cul-de-sacs and haunted, well, anything you can stick a light-up ghost on...
If your Halloween costume isn't coming along exactly the way you planned, don't feel bad -- at least you aren't any of these horrible Halloween fails.
There's a chill in the air, brandy is slowly edging out rum as the drink of choice, and the skin around our eyes is brutally chapped -- must be Autumn! And you know what that means -- time for some laughs courtesy of perennial favorite Nightmares Fear Factory, a haunted house in Niagara Falls with a hidden camera that takes pictures of people while they're having the crap scared out of them. Hilarious! (As long as it isn't us.)
With Halloween just around the corner, now's the time to figure out which costumes your family will wear to get into the spirit of the haunted holiday...
Are you more scared of zombies, chainsaw maniacs, ghosts and skeletons... or of being seen NAKED? Now there is a haunted house where you can find out.
If you like watching people being frightened, this is the video for you. A man and his cameraman friend set up shop in an alleyway near Chicago's DePaul University...
It's Halloween! The ghosts and goblins are out tonight!
Videos of old-timey skeleton dances are the best way to get a little spook-ified before Halloween without accidentally soiling yourself. That is a fact -- you can ask anybody. Oh, thanks for asking. Yes, that is a fact. From PBS to Disney and beyond, here are the best skeleton dances EVER to get you into the spirit of Halloween.
How cool is this? A flaming pumpkin!
Shakespeare described the "witching hour" as a time "when churchyards yawn and hell itself breathes out." Spooky! Equally esteemed author Washington Irving described Halloween night in his classic 'The Legend of Sleepy Hollow' as a setting full of "fearful shapes and shadows...amidst the dim and ghastly glare of a snowy night." Kids all across the country describe it as the night when the entire world gives them all the candy they can eat until they either pass out or develop early on-set diabetes.
Hurricane Sandy is being called the storm of the century. Being that it is such an unique weather event, nobody is really sure the extent to which its high winds and flooding will damage the East Coast of the United States.
But we may have gotten some insight into the changes to come from a Washington, DC news broadcast. As you can see, NBC 4's cameras captured images of a shirtless horse-headed man jogging through the streets of our nation's capital.

VIDEO/PHOTOS: Naples Park exercise class gets more than workout with Richard Simmons
For a room full of "silver foxes," there's a lot of energy in this exercise class.
It's a Wednesday morning, and "Richard Simmons and the Silver Foxes" plays on a television mounted on the wall at the front of the room. About 25 women, ages 53 to 94, move back and forth in lines, facing the TV.
"OK, let's start our low-impact aerobics," Simmons' high-pitched voice urges from the television speakers. On the screen, a tanned Simmons, dressed in all-white workout clothes, moves his feet back and forth in time to the music. The women follow, some right on beat and others a little behind at first. Their sneakers squeak on the floor, and there are smiles all around.
"Come on, feel that heart!" Simmons squeals.
"Ooo! I do," says Jacqui Brodeur, 80.
"Ooo!" Simmons says, and it almost sounds like he's responding.
Brodeur has been doing the class since 1992, and on this morning in February she's in the center of the front row. She wears sneakers, stretchy pants and a maroon sweater. As she moves, she laughs and smiles, clearly enjoying herself. You can also see that she knows most of the steps.
Beside Brodeur, Margaret Smith, 94, doesn't miss a beat. She wears white sneakers, a striped top and shorts, her gray hair cut in a bob. At Simmons' prompting, the women begin stepping back and forth on a count of one to five to the peppy, bouncing orchestral music. They add claps, and then Simmons changes the step.
Some women in the back burst out laughing. "Oh no! I just got the clapping!" someone exclaims. It's like a high school girls gym class — some of the women are so focused on the video they don't even smile, while others chat with their neighbor nearly constantly.
The group meets three times a week from 9 to 10 a.m. They each pay $25 a year to join the Naples Park Area Association and then $2 a week for the exercise class. On Monday, the price will go up to $3 a week.
Today it's all women, although there is one man who comes sometimes, they say.
"The ladies who come here are very companionable," says Smith, who at age 94 is the oldest in the group. "They're easy to talk to and they're easy to tell good things and bad things to. They help you in your life and they encourage you."
Smith is a heart patient, and her doctor recommended that she exercise. She makes it through the hour-long Richard Simmons video without trouble, but on Mondays and Fridays when they do more challenging videos she sits down and takes a break sometimes. She doesn't rest for too long, though.
"She's our inspiration," says Sharon Kurtz, 53, the youngest member of the class. She joined six months ago, and the other women call her "the baby."
"I'm just delighted that we do this here," Smith replies.
At the end of the workout, Simmons moves on to the electric slide. Then, the women push three tables together in the back of the clubhouse and sit down. It's time for coffee, birthday cake for one of the class members and some time to chat.
