I have created a hack, so it is possible to sell PDF files which get stamped with coustomer information and get a password (customer email).
I have done the hack direct in the core file woocommerce-functions.php (the function woocommerce_download_product() )
I would like to hear if it is possible to do the changes / overwrite the function in a more elegant way, because next time woocommerce get updated the changes would be lost.
My plan are to create it as a free plugin / extention / modification.
Anybody there can help?
Best Regards

Best Cheap Central Park, New York Hotels
Hotels near Central Park
Given their unbeatable location on prime NYC real estate, it's no surprise that hotels around Central Park are the epitome of sophistication. Travelers looking for a taste of luxury will find an array of 5-star Central Park hotels that fit the bill perfectly. Revel in the opulent Beaux-Arts décor of the world-famous Plaza Hotel and treat yourself to afternoon tea in the hotel's legendary Palm Court. Or check into The Mark on Madison Avenue, with lavish interiors by acclaimed designer Jacques Grange. There's also a good selection of affordable accommodation near Central Park like Herrick Guest Suites, providing rental apartments in a classic brownstone on 74th Street.
Things to see in Central Park
Your first port of call should be Belvedere Castle, which offers panoramic views and houses Central Park's very own weather station. Another top-notch lookout is Bethesda Terrace and Fountain at the heart of the park, where you can enjoy sweeping views of the lake and woods. Rowboats and kayaks are available to rent from Loeb Boathouse, which also boasts an outdoor restaurant overlooking the lake. If you're visiting in summer, why not take in a free play at the open-air Delacorte Theater, which hosts the annual Shakespeare in the Park festival? In the winter months, go skating in one of the park's 2 ice rinks, a time-honored New York tradition. The park is also home to the beloved Central Park Zoo—featuring exotic critters like snow leopards and tropical birds—as well as Strawberry Fields, where you can pay homage to John Lennon at the renowned Imagine mosaic.
Good for families and couples
With so much to see and do nearby, hotels around Central Park offer the perfect base for a family vacation. Take a break from sightseeing downtown and blow off some steam with a bike tour of the park, by far the best way to explore its many nooks and crannies. Kids will be on cloud nine with 21 playgrounds to choose from, as well as the historic carousel, one of the park's most famous attractions. Central Park is also the perfect spot for couples on a romantic getaway—snap a selfie on the picturesque Bow Bridge before taking a memorable horse-and-carriage ride around the park.
How to get to Central Park
New York is served by 3 airports: international flights come through JFK and Newark, while LaGuardia handles domestic services. The AirTrain conveniently connects JFK to the public transportation network: change at Jamaica Station and hop on the subway to downtown Manhattan. From LaGuardia, the M60 bus will bring you straight to upper Manhattan, and cabs and car rentals are also widely available. Once you've touched base and are ready to explore, the easiest way to travel to Central Park is by subway. There are several stops in the area, and the park is also served by a number of public bus routes.

LSU had lousy QBs throwing the ball to OBJ, and they were more dedicated to a ground game
Those are extremely generic quotes, not really confidence inspiring. I say the same stuff about my dentist, I would expect more about a guy expected to right a team that has had the bottom falling...
Unfortunately, ownership is looking to be making Coughlin a scapegoat. As much as I wanted him gone, Reese was the one that needs to go most of all.
For once, we agree. If McAdoo becomes HC I would be astounded and frankly really disappointed with how this team is being run (more so than I already am)
With how talent-starved this team is you want us to trade away a second round pick for a coach?
Did we win in the game that you watched?
Lol what a great decision TC ole boy
Wtf is that playcall are you kidding me?
Well that was horribly unfortunate
They heard you, literally
Does not change the fact that it is the exact time you go for it, but I'm stopping here because you are clearly not to be swayed.
Lol McBride at safety, it's super bad now
Even if we gain zero yards there that is only 19 yards different than a touchback (which is very likely at that location on the field, the fact that we downed it inside the five does not change that)
It NEVER counts as a fumble if you were touched by an opposing player going down. The only time it is is if you go down on your own or the ball is moving before your arm hits.
Gotta lose one more challenge on your way out haha
Especially with how well Jennings is running the rock, you do play action rollout to Tye there and get five yards easy. Just pathetic.
LOL punting it, really?
Woulda been division champs back by week 13 haha this is sad :(
Run in the redzone and we score, who knew?
Yep, I don't think some people understand the difference in role between SS and FS and what is being asked of Collins.
Are you kidding?? There is only two and a bit quarters remaining! Only four whole minutes with three timeouts in this half, there's no way we can run!!
Where is the season adjustment? It's happened all year long, nothing changes with this staff
Another tight end with another first down haah

The Lost Hero (The Heroes of Olympus, Book One)
Book 1, The Heroes of Olympus
Rick Riordan
This book is available for download with iBooks on your Mac or iOS device, and with iTunes on your computer. Books can be read with iBooks on your Mac or iOS device.
Jason has a problem. He doesn't remember anything before waking up on a school bus holding hands with a girl. Apparently she's his girlfriend Piper, his best friend is a kid named Leo, and they're all students in the Wilderness School, a boarding school for "bad kids." What he did to end up here, Jason has no idea-except that everything seems very wrong.
From Publishers Weekly

Customer Reviews
This book is amazing because it not only includes new character but it also includes old characters like Percy and Annabeth. Rick Riordan has once again stunned us with his amazing ability to weave a perfectly suspenseful tale. A must buy.
Ladies and gentlemen Rick Riordan has done it again...
THIS BOOK IS AMAZING!!! As a huge Percy Jackson fan, I have been waiting for this since it was announced. Yes I was a little worried that it would pale in comparison to the original - BUT IT IS SOOO GOOD!!! I bought it yesterday when it came out and I just finished reading it. Riordan has managed to stay true to his original theme from the Percy Jackson series while adding a huge new dynamic to the world of the heroes and Olympians. Plus, the new characters are great (I love Jason ;) and Piper too!) and we get to catch up with our favorites!! I cannot wait for the next installment - fall 2011....so long from now but in the mean time buy buy buy!!!!
Great sequel to the titan war!
This book has the same rythm as the previous five. Start reading and you are quickly absorbed by the harmonically pulsating story. The protagonists are new but only for a little time. Immerse yourself again in the modern antique mythology.

what is difference between california emissions and 50 state emissions

Get Your Car Fixed at a RepairPal Certified Shop.
We certify shops based on expertise, quality work, and verified customer reviews
1 answer
A 50 state vehicle is a vehicle that is certified for sale in all 50 states, including California. So, a vehicle that is 50 state emissions certified is basically a California certified vehicle, sold in every state for the purposes of mass marketing economies.

Buy now for 6.80 and write the April 7 calls for .05. It expires worthless you the rewrite the May 7's. If it gets exercised you just made 3.6% in a day and a half. You have to be bullish on this stock but at $6.80 the risk I think is minimal. (considering news will come out one day)
Ok cool, and thanks. Thats how i thought they worked. So when ppl say they're going "long" that means they are going to continue to buy forward calls?

Cups flour. Bake at 375 for 12 minutes. Works like a charm. If you use glaze to base frost them, let it dry completely and the stamped pattern will show up better. Personally, they look awesome without base frosting. Just the detail is enough. BUY THESE NOW. Pics of my cookies are at anitaHelmet on Twitter.
I also used sugar cookies instead of gingerbread and I used royal icing with neon green food coloring. Came out great. See photo.
Mine came with a recipe booklet. The recipes look pretty standard, but I elected to use the one posted by another reviewer because it was a shortbread style cookie (no leavening) and I thought it would do a better job of preserving the stamped lines in the dough than the baking-powder leavened recipes in the booklet.
Follow instructions provided in the booklet! If yours is missing:
Roll the dough between sheets of parchment paper.
Chill the dough before stamping & cutting.
Dip cutter/stamp in flour each time you use it.
Stamp first, then cut out to avoid distorting the shape of the cookie.
The lines will fade when you bake them, so make sure you stamp them deeply.
These look so nice you wouldn't have to ice or sugar them at all.
If you want to be precise about icing, you'll need a collection of small icing tips.
I was most successful with #01 tips.
I used Royal Icing which looks good and dries hard but (in my opinion) tastes awful. That didn't seem to stop anyone, though! My colors were pastel because I don't like the bitter flavor that food coloring imparts. Next year I might try using natural dyes--beet root powder, hibiscus flower, etc. I might also try a different icing to see if I can strike a balance between durability and flavor.
I used regular rolled sugar cookie dough, rolled to 1/4" thickness. Stamp the design first, then flip the cookie stamp over and use the cutter side to cut out the little man shape. I was able to fit about 6 cookies per cookie sheet.
Use a thin powdered sugar icing to pipe the skeletal design onto the cookie once cooled... (I put the icing into a ziploc bag, then cut off a very small corner of the bag to make an easy disposable piping bag/tip).
I really like that the cookie cutter and stamper are in one piece - less pieces to store (and lose).
I really liked the cutter, however I had to make the corrections so it can work properly, and at the end we baked the most amazing cookies.
A few cookie making tips to make them even more interesting:
1) Make royal icing to fill the skeletons with. Royal icing is basically just confectioner's sugar (aka powdered sugar), meringue powder (much easier to use than trying to use egg whites), and warm water. Basic recipe is 4 cups confectioner's sugar, 3 tablespoons meringue powder (its in the baking isle), and 6 tablespoons water. It should be about the consistency of warm honey when you initially mix it, now whip it until it thickens up. You can then use a spray bottle of water to thin it down enough to easily pour into the cookie depressions (usually about 1 tablespoon extra will do it, but the spray bottle lets you apply it more evenly so you don't get soup in the middle of your bowl and mortar on the outsides). Note: Royal icing and oils do not get along. If you want to flavor your icing, make sure your extract is *NOT* oil based (the icing is water based, the oil based flavor will just float right out of the icing)! I prefer a mix of almond and vanilla myself, but if you want to keep the icing as white as possible make sure to use uncolored flavorings.
2) Use food coloring in the gingerbread mix itself to change it's color. Black food coloring will make your white icing skeleton really pop.Read more ›

Can scientific collaboration break through political barriers? Rachel Brazil investigates
To coincide with the prime minister's visit to India, UK universities have announced a series of research partnerships and scholarships intended to boost the trade and education links between the UK and India.
David Cameron's trade delegation to India, which arrived in Mumbai on Monday, comprises over 100 representatives from commercial firms and universities. At an event at a Unilever site in Mumbai, the prime minister confirmed that there will be no limit on the number of student visas available for Indian students, nor any limit to their staying after study.
As part of a suite of scholarships and research links being announced during the visit, Cambridge University will announce that it is to collaborate with the Non-Ferrous Technology Development Centre in Hyderabad and Nagpur University to research fuel cell technology and £11 million from the Indian government will establish a Centre for Chemical Biology and Therapeutics, a collaborative project between Cambridge University, India's National Centre for Biological Sciences, and the Institute for Stem Cells and Regenerative Medicine in Bangalore.

Fraternité Notre-Dame
The Fraternité Notre-Dame is a Traditional Catholic order of bishops, priests, friars and nuns. There is also a third order attached to them.
The origins of Fraternité Notre-Dame lay in the apparitions of the Virgin Mary that were reported in Frechou, France.[1] They are led by Bishop Jean Marie Kozik, a Frenchman of Polish origin who was consecrated by Vietnamese Archbishop Ngo Dinh Thuc.[1]
The general religious practices of followers of Fraternité Notre-Dame are in line with other Traditionalist Catholics. "Traditionalist Catholics" as identified are not in line with post Vatican II's decrees on inclusions of the Tridentine Mass or Pope Francis. Such Identification is not to be confused with those who submit under obedience under Canon Law and are validly ordained with Permission of The Supreme Pontiff, the Bishop of Rome. In addition, Apparitions of the Blessed Virgin Mary are subject to the decree of Pope Urban VIII.
The church today[edit]
Fraternité Notre-Dame operates religious and humanitarian missions on four continents. The church operates soup kitchens and weekly food pantries in Paris, New York, Ulan Bator, Chicago and San Francisco.[2] Additionally a hospital for the poor has been opened in Mongolia and they have also operated humanitarian convoys to benefit those victimized by war in Croatia, Bosnia, Kosovo, and Rwanda.[1]
In 2000, The movement opened its Mother House for North America in Chicago's Austin neighborhood in the former Gammon United Methodist Church, a structure built by noted Cleveland architect Sidney Badgley and featured in a number of books on Chicago architecture, notably "The AIA Guide to Chicago" by Alice Sinkevitch (Harvest Books 2004). Fraternité Notre-Dame uses the complex as a Novitiate/Seminary for religious friars and future priests, as well as a Novitiate for religious nuns out of the complex.
Since then Fraternité Notre-Dame nuns have become a fixture at numerous Chicago area farmer's markets selling traditional French pastries to raise funds for the group.[3]
The church has faced controversies since entering the Chicago area with the opening of its mother house in a former Methodist church in the Austin neighborhood of Chicago in 2000.
A religious retreat operated by Fraternité Notre-Dame in suburban Marengo was vandalized in 2006.[4] Many neighbors were reportedly opposed by the presence of a religious complex in their area.[5] Racial epithets and slurs had been spray-painted on the statues including the words "KKK", "Leave" and "go away", while the face of the Virgin Mary was blackened.[6]
The order found itself in the news again as one of its members, Sister Marie Marot was charged in a car accident at the intersection of Randall Road and Illinois Route 72 on October 7, 2007.[7] The prosecution had contended that the Fraternite Notre Dame nun had run a red light which resulted in the death of 16-year-old Keith Forbes.[7] Sister Marot was found not guilty in May 2009.[7]
Fraternité Notre-Dame testified to the McHenry County Zoning Board of Appeals, asking for a conditional use permit to add a school with dormitory, a nursing home and hospice, another commercial kitchen and a place to brew beer, make wine and hold tastings, plus a gift shop, on its 95 acres at 10002 Harmony Hill Road in McHenry County Illinois.

We had a 2 bedroom and 2 bathroom apartment, it was a beautiful apartment with nice views over the water
The bathrooms are quite small and pokey compared to the size of the rest of the apartment
Plenty of storage room and large comfy couch
I got this room at a reasonable rate but not sure i would want to pay full price because it didnt have the 'wow' factor
The trams are only a minute walk and there are plenty of restaurants close by. You can also get a discount at some of the restaurants by flashing your room key
It is in a beautiful location and quiet
I did find it odd there was no hotel book, you know the one that has what to do in an emergency, facilities ie, pool, reception phone number etc
I would stay again at the right price

I just got my wheel bearing replaced, and they said I also needed new Calipers and brake pads. I hadn't noticed a problem before, but now my brake pedal is practically to the floor. Is there anything they could have done to make it seem like now I need my brakes done?

"Tirau Visitor Information Centre" Tirau Information Centre. Tip by Kate-Me
Tirau Information Centre., Tirau: 4 reviews and 7 photos
Tirau Information Centre is inside the big white dog's head!
Inside, as you can see, it's rather different.
The facilities are excellent - brand new toilets, etc.
It's a good first point of call, not because there is anything else to see in the town apart from the quaint shops, but because it stocks an absolutely HUGE range of brochures from just about all over NZ, neatly separated into geographical regions. It also sells books and souvenirs. There's a tv in one corner showing tourist information with couches set up around it.
Extremely well equipped!
Address: the main highway, Tirau
Directions: Can't miss the dog! He stands out for quite a distance on the highway!

I recently played a game that until now I'd only heard about, Cards Against Humanity. In April I decided I need to get my own set. So I did. And then a friend told me about the unofficial expansion pack called Knitters Against Swatches. So I got that, too. And all I need now are some folks to invite over so we can get a game going. I can't wait!
Have you ever tried double knitting? I did, a LONG time ago. I knitted just enough of Debbie Stoller's "Uncle Argyle" pattern to figure out how the technique works, and then I quit. But I am in need of a special thank you gift for my godfather, and I thought a double knit arygyle scarf in Ohio State team colors (scarlet and gray) would be perfect. So I tried again. The first few tries were frustrating but now that I have remembered how to do it, it's going well:
There's still a loooooooooong way to go, but I think it will be worth it in the end!
And with that, I better get moving. I'm meeting up with a friend in like 10 mins for a short Sunday night hangout.
Talk to y'all soon.

Short charity update
Remember those hats I told you about last week? The ones that I needed to find a good use for since I couldn't use them for my chosen charity? A good use has become clear. Tomorrow they will be on the way to my mom, who will raffle them off in a church fundraiser!
In other news, today I finished a hat for said charity in a more appropriate acrylic/nylon blend yarn ... and my husband loved it so much that I gave it to him. As soon as it came off the needles I cast on an identical one that *will* be for charity. We took a long walk around town today, and I knitted as we walked so I got a fair amount done. Here it is in process:

I just LOVE the color. I knitted up the rest of the yarn that was left after I finished the hat that I gave to my husband Found a couple skeins of this color from a fellow knitter on Ravelry and bought them from her. Really looking forward to knitting with this yarn some more in a few days.
I'm also knitting this one:
This yarn is SO soft. I wish I could remember where I got it. It's been in my stash for so long ... I'm happy to finally put it to good use.
And now ... back to knitting!
Friday, April 08, 2016
Before ... and after
You know how you go to "clean up" a room, but you end up making a much bigger mess in the process? That's what happened to me last weekend. My yarn room/art studio was a colossal mess and I attempted to clean it up. Here it is, mid-mess:
... and here it is once everything is moved around and put away. Much better!
Last week I talked about the dilemma I had with a stack of hats I knitted for charity, which can't go to the charity I planned to send them to due to the high wool content. I haven't yet figured out what to do with them, but in the meantime I went stash diving and found find a few balls of more appropriate yarn that I can use! I'd show you but I don't have photos of it yet. I found a ball of Berroco Comfort yarn in a deep cerulean blue (worsted weight, I think), and a ball of Dark Horse Fantasy yarn in a sage green (also worsted weight). I cast on 2 hats, one in each color ... I couldn't help myself! I'm not using a pattern; I just cast on 112 sts with US 6 needles and am doing 2x2 ribbing for a few inches. Then I may switch to stockinette. Or maybe I'll continue in ribbing. Or maybe I'll pick a pattern from a stitch dictionary. Who knows! ALSO, I remembered that some months ago, a friend gave me a big ol' bag of yarn that she no longer wanted. I dug through that and found several full and partial balls of stuff like Plymouth Encore (shout out to @knitonepurltoo!) and Lion Brand Wool Ease so all of that should keep my charity efforts going for a bit. I may also go in with a friend on an order from WEBS so I can get some more Berroco Comfort -- I really like how it feels and how it's knitting up so far.
Right now, though, it's way past bed time. Good night!

I blew it.
So ...
You remember those hats I knitted for charity? Well. I was all set to send the hand knit goodies off in the mail this week, and went to the blog to look for the address to send to. Aaaaannnnd while I was there I looked at the requirements for donations. Aaaaaannnnnnd figured out that donated items should not be 100% wool. So .... now I need to find something to do with the hats and scarf I knitted. Yes, I realize (now) that I should have looked this information up BEFORE I started knitting, but I think in my excitement to get started it slipped my mind. I'm sure the internet will come to the rescue, and help me identify an organization that will accept my donation. And in the meantime, I've done a bit of stash diving and found 2 balls of yarn that will be appropriate for the charity I originally chose: The Bridge Project, which collects knit and crocheted items for the homeless in central Ohio.
Now that my yarn room/art studio is cleaned up and organized, I'm going to get showered and go do a bit of shopping before I settle in for a little knitting!

Nice haul
Every so often, my friend Jan and I go on these very awesome, very therapeutic yarn crawls. This past weekend we had a much needed trip, which coincided with the beginning of spring break on the campus where we work. Our afternoon adventure started with hanging out at Black Locust Farm yarn shop in Lodi. If y'all have been paying any attention at all, you know that I love to knit socks. And that sock yarn doesn't count as stash. Soooooooo these pretty things came home with me:
The ball of yarn on the left is to knit my husband some socks. He is one of those guys that doesn't really wear colors aside from black, blue, gray, and occasionally some brown. I got yarn to match his wardrobe. The self-striping should keep it as interesting as it could possibly be ;-)
Last year on a trip to the shop I fell in love with a project bag made by Aimee of Cackleberry Creations. I met Aimee in person at the Great Lakes Fiber Show last spring, and mentioned my love of elephants and Doctor Who. And then I promptly forgot about that conversation! Well I was pleasantly surprised to get a message from Aimme via Ravelry, that, despite some life challenges, she completed the bags for me! Look! Elephants ....
... and a close-up of the matching stitch markers!
And then TARDIS ....
... and matching stitch markers!
As I was paying for my yarn, I also spied these beautiful pearl stitch markers near the register. Some of y'all know how much I love pearls too, so I couldn't leave these in the store!
I have since messaged Aimee to ask for a couple more bags ... one with a coffee print, and one with FIREFLY. Actually I might need two Firefly bags if possible, one for me and one for a dear friend who got me hip to that show in the first place.
After hanging out at Black Locust for a few hours, it was time to head down the road to Wooster, where we had dinner at one of our faaaaaaavorite places, Broken Rocks Cafe. Wild mushroom pasta for the win! That's a standout favorite dish of mine, especially when it's followed up with pecan pie for dessert.
It was a lovely day, indeed. Guess I need to get knitting and FINISH some stuff before I start something else. Well I DO have that cowl I'm knitting for a store sample. I'll post pics of that next time. Until then ... good night!

Man accused of ID theftMarch 29,2014Man accused of
identity theft
BENNINGTON A local man is facing four felony charges and five misdemeanors after police said he withdrew $300 from the account of a neighbor who had let the man use his debit card.
Christopher J. Hope Jr., of Bennington, pleaded innocent Monday to four felony charge of identity theft, four misdemeanor charges of using false tokens and one misdemeanor charge of giving false information to police in order to implicate another person.
Hope was released without bail.
In an affidavit, Bennington Police Officer Lawrence Cole said he met with Richard Danforth, of Bennington, on Jan. 13. Danforth said he had accidentally stepped on Hopes phone in mid-December.
To pay for the damage, Danforth said he gave Hope his bank debit card and password on Jan. 7. Hope was told he could take $20 from the account.
Instead, according to Cole, Hope made four withdrawals which totaled $300. Cole pointed out none of the withdrawals were for $20. Cole said he saw the video-recordings made by the automated teller machine and recognized Hope.
Cole said he spoke to Hope on Jan. 14. According to Cole, Hope said Danforth had given him the debit card and password, told him to withdraw as much money as possible, keep $20 and give the rest to Danforth. Hope told Cole thats what he did.MORE IN This Just In

- Great Door Curtain Review by Superlora
This was a great addition to our 70's party. It really sparkled and they were just gorgeous.

- Not as Shown Review by Grapes Fan
I wish I had read the other comments before ordering this. There are only 10 strands of beads to spread over 24" leaving more than 2" between strands. It could have used twice the number of strands. Also, the description does not say that you need to screw the support frame into something, meaning we could not hang this where we had planned, over the window in our door. It is also pretty heavy

- Ughhhh!! Review by Sharon
We were so busy decorating and using the scene setters, that when we tried to install the beaded curtains, we found them too difficult to install on a temporary basis. I didn't have time to find a strong removable adhesive to attach them to the rec room's door frames. I think a removable adhesive should come with the curtains.

- NOT LIKE PICTURE! Review by CatdogsMom
It looks like there are lots of beads to cover a whole doorway, but they are so spread out that it bearly makes a curtin. Not what I expected. We cut some of our old beaded necklaces that we had around the house, which give it more color and filled in the emty slots to make more of a curtian for the doorway.

Tuition & Financial Aid:
Since it is a community college, it is definately worth the low tuition costs to cover the general studies. There are many means to obtain financial aid at this school.
Tuition & Financial Aid:
Compared to other colleges in Mesa, Arizona (and trust me, I did my homework before enrolling in this college) this school provides the best education for the cost of the tuition. There were other colleges I could have enrolled in that would have offered me as good of an education as this school but I would have ended up paying $50,000 instead of the $20,000 that I'll be paying through Mesa Community College. The financial aid department at my school unfortunately does not assist students to the fullest, when it comes to applying for scholarships and grants. They leave that up to the students to apply for. The financial aid department will assist students with loans, which if it comes down to it, I may have to apply for, if my fafsa and grants/scholarships won't fully cover my tuition.
Tuition & Financial Aid:
More expensive than I thought it would be for a community college
Tuition & Financial Aid:
Everything was done online and extremely user friendly.

I did not take advantage of Financial Aid, I paid my way out of pocket.The tuition was reasonable ($100 monthly)

Medal record
Annette Elizabeth Salmeen (born December 7, 1974)[1] is an American biochemist, a 1997 Rhodes Scholar[2] and a gold medalist at the 1996 Summer Olympics.[3]
Swimming career[edit]
Salmeen was born in Ann Arbor, Michigan. She was a competitive swimmer by the age of 9, and became a standout swimmer at Huron High School in Ann Arbor, where she was co-captain of the girls' swimming team for two years.[4] While at Huron, Salmeen was three-time state champion in the 500-yard freestyle, and once in the 100-yard butterfly.[4] Salmeen went on to swim at the University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA), where she was a co-captain, four-time All-American, and a NCAA national champion in the 200-yard butterfly.[5] She won a bronze medal in the 200-meter butterfly[6] at the 1995 World University Games in Fukuoka, Japan.[3] Salmeen qualified for the U.S. Olympic Team for the 1996 Summer Olympics in Atlanta, Georgia, where she earned a gold medal for swimming for the winning U.S. team in the preliminary heats of the women's 4×200-meter freestyle relay.[3] In individual competition at the Olympics, she finished 4th in the B Final (12th overall) in the women's 200-meter butterfly.[7]
Rhodes Scholarship[edit]
Salmeen graduated from UCLA in 1997 with a Bachelor of Science in chemistry, and was awarded a Rhodes Scholarship to pursue a Doctorate of Philosophy (D. Phil.) in biochemistry at Oxford University.[8] During her four years at St John's College, Oxford,[9] she was a member of the Oxford University Swimming Club, where she set three long-course records and six on the short-course.[5]

She earned her doctorate in 2001,[8] and returned to the U.S. as a postdoctoral fellow at Stanford University.[10] In 2005, she was named to the board of the United States Anti-Doping Agency and again came back to Stanford University where she teaches as of 2015.[11]

A suggestion that District 7 Supervisor Kevin Willis made last week — one that was unanimously accepted by his fellow supervisors — was a wise suggestion.
As the supervisors discussed Ginger Ausband's special use permit for a folk art retreat, a condition that no alcoholic beverages be permitted caught Willis' attention. The condition had been attached by the planning commission when they unanimously recommended approval of Ausband's special use permit.

The bridal collection 2016
Designer wedding dresses is Jenny Packham
In an unassuming industrial style space, cascading orbs of duskily tinted roses and fronds of maidenhair ferns hinted at the dreamily botanical, enchanted show to come. Set against a giant custom painted backdrop of blurred florals and set to the opening sounds of a quote from Midsummer Nights Dream, the scene was set for an ethereal, unhurried procession of models, drifting gracefully, revealing themselves one by one, as if emerging from a dream.
Holding wild bouquets of trailing jasmine tendrils and delicate corsages, this collection beautifully blurred the lines between Jenny Packham's signature aesthetic of demure English Rose with an enchanted sense of whimsy and unexpected magic. A slightly nostalgic assortment of refreshed favourites and re-interpretations of infamous, signature beadwork and sequins were beautifully mixed with new and incredible explorations of embellishment and dreamy silhouettes.
In a palette beautifully devoid of white, gowns rich with pearls, paillettes, muted shimmering bead work and floral embellishments were brought to life in the subtlest expressions of creams and ivory, barely there tints of blush, dusky pinks, dove, mint and the palest of silvers.
Silhouettes explored new takes on Jenny's signature Art Deco inspired sheaths and the eternally elegant, slinkily dropped waists by way of separate, sheer floating hems that trumpeted slightly, drifting ethereally around ankles as models walked. Gowns decadently, entirely embellished with pearls and sequins moved like liquid ivory, a dreamlike mirage of unfathomable embellishment that made you wonder if you had dreamt, rather than actually seen these gowns.
Demure caplet style sleeves offered unexpected sensuality when viewed from the back, gently draping and fluting into deep V formations, cascading from shoulders to waist. Similarly, the classicism of so many iconic silhouettes were updated with rich constellations of crystal foliage or trailing tendrils of sequins, seeming to run like water down silk skirts and across pooling hems.
Walking to a hauntingly beautiful soundtrack, perfectly befitting the Midsummer Nights Dream theme, models looks beautifully fresh faced in uncomplicated hair and makeup. Dewy skin glowed and hair was left free flowing, simply waved as if just released from a braid. Moving in a kind of dreamily, unhurried glide to runways end and back, they embodied enchanted creatures and perfectly showcased the kind of super natural beauty we applaud for brides.
Setting the tone perfectly for ethereal, mid-summer garden celebrations these gowns are easy to imagine beneath a Titania worthy canopy of flowering branches, but would look just as captivating at a decadently glamorous (indoor) evening event, such was the sensuality and appeal of this 2016 collection.

An excerpt from www.HouseOfNames.com archives copyright © 2000 - 2016
Origins Available: French, Italian
From the historical and fascinating Italian region of Venice emerged a multitude of noble families, including the distinguished Marchese family. Although people were originally known only by a single name, it became necessary for people to adapt a second name to identify themselves as populations grew and travel became more frequent. The process of adopting fixed hereditary surnames was not complete until the modern era, but the use of hereditary family names in Italy began in the 10th and 11th centuries. Italian hereditary surnames were developed according to fairly general principles and they are characterized by a profusion of derivatives coined from given names. Although the most common type of family name found in the region of Venice is the patronymic surname, which is derived from the father's given name, the nickname type of surname is also frequently found. Nickname surnames were derived from an eke-name, or added name. They usually reflected the physical characteristics or attributes of the first person that used the name. The surname Marchese came from a feudal lord. The surname Marchesi is derived from the medieval Latin word marca, which means the territory over which feudal lords reigned. At the end of the Middle Ages, the word marchese became a nobiliary title as Count or duke. The nickname marchese was later given also to people who worked for a marquis or were part of his routine. Also, people who played the role of a marquis in pageants and festivals could afterward acquire the nickname of marchese.
The surname Marchese was first found in Lombardy (Italian: Lombardia), with records from the 10th century showing that the Marchese family was of upper nobility in the region.
In comparison with other European surnames, Italian surnames have a surprising number of forms. They reflect the regional variations and the many dialects of the Italian language, each with its own distinctive features. For example, in Northern Italy the typical Italian surname suffix is "i", whereas in Southern Italy it is "o". Additionally, spelling changes frequently occurred because medieval scribes and church officials often spelled names as they sounded rather than according to any specific spelling rules. The spelling variations in the name Marchese include Marchesi, Marchese, Marchesich, Marchesini, Marcheselli, Marchesin, Marchesana, Marchisio, Marchesotti and many more.
This web page shows only a small excerpt of our Marchese research. Another 49 words (4 lines of text) covering the years 1475, 1494 and 1848 are included under the topic Early Marchese History in all our PDF Extended History products and printed products wherever possible.
Prominent among bearers of this family in early times was Girolamo Marchesi, a painter during the 15th century. One of his most famous works lies in the Brera Gallery in Milan and is entitled "Madonna in Glory and Saints." Giacomo Marchesana was a Knight and was Senator of Catania in 1475...
Another 116 words (8 lines of text) are included under the topic Early Marchese Notables in all our PDF Extended History products and printed products wherever possible.
Early immigration records have shown some of the first Marcheses to arrive on North American shores:

How do you ask someone to explain something in very simple words, understandable by everyone from general public? In Russia we say something, that can be translated like "explain on fingers". What's the correct English for this?
Sign up
- Anybody can ask a question

- The best answers are voted up and rise to the top
For clarity, some of the phrases given as answers have more of an "explain it succinctly," than an "explain it simply" connotation. Others have more of a give me the essentials meaning. Here's some more of each (there is some overlap):
You could say
CliffsNotes are short synopses of longer literary works, usually used by students who don't want to read a whole work
Or you could try:
This is used in business a lot. The idea is that you are asking someone to pretend that they happen to get on an elevator with a prime customer and they only have the time between when the doors close and they open on the customer's floor to sell him on a product or an idea.
I especially like the phrase Denzel Washington's character used again and again in the film Philadelphia:
If speaking to someone you are comfortable with you could ask them to "explain it in twenty five words or less". This is quite informal.
Otherwise you could ask for something to be explained "in simple terms".
