iL FABRIQUE
Two days dedicated to the world of design and fashion design in the beautiful town of Sora, Frosinone. On 26 and 27 November Sora will host the 1st Festival of selfproduction, "iL FABRIQUE self-produced design", with 20 self-producers, designers and fashion designers of the highest level and selected by a special commission.
THe event has been created to tell and enhance the know-how and craftsmanship of designers, responding to the new needs of society and market needs; self-production, therefore, as a way to re-interpret the rules of industrial production.
The initiative involves only designers who design and produce small objects or large series, investing in unexplored market niches. During the event, the designers will exhibit their works and tell their stories and experiences directly to the audience.
The curator of the event is Luciano Rea, President of the District of Design Association (ADD), in collaboration with Romina Quaglieri - aka Romindesign Romina Q - deputy Chief Executive of AIPi Lazio, Abruzzo and Molise and lively and whimsical designer.
Exhibition of design products, from fashion to furnishing to accessories will be joined moments dedicated to conferences, workshops, creative ted, contests and a cocktail party. Opening the Festival, Saturday, November 26, the conference "The Self-produced Design: an autonomously managed process between creativity and markets".
Among the designers who will exhibit their products: Artwo, Diego Marinelli, Forma & Cemento, Giuseppe Viccaro, Paula Design Studio, Tumahi; the main common factor is Lazio Creativo, which enabled them to meet and create, over time, synergies and collaborations.
The event will be hosted at the Uniclam Educational Center in Sora, starting from 10.00am until 7.00pm.

2 year old toddler vs puddles
It's autumn! Though most days the sunny weather tries to trick you in to thinking otherwise. It's perhaps why as first time parents, we didn't come armed with wellies and waterproofs. We did bring them, packed was jacket, trousers and boots, which remained in the bag as our 2 year old to spotted all the wonderful puddles. Luckily we brought a change of clothing. Once your toddler is wet and muddy, you may as well sit back and let him have his fun.

Report from Cleveland
The Chicago Digital Access Alliance is working to connect Chicago neighborhoods. Our five-year initiative, anemia "Technology In The Hood", more about and its campaign, "Connecting Chicago Neighborhoods To Digital Excellence", focuses on bringing technology to neighborhoods and neighborhoods to technology. We have two projects under the "Technology In The Hood" Initiative: (1) Our CTC/PCC Development Program, under which we are developing and establishing thirty (30) new community technology/public computing centers; and (2) the 10,000 Digital Kids Campaign, where we are helping provide 10,000 urban youth with resources, training and software to allow them to create their own software development solutions.
On Monday, October 3, 2011, at 10:00 a.m. at the AKARAMA Foundation Community Center, 6220 South Ingleside Avenue, we're launching our initiative with a focus on the AKARAMA Cafe, a 30-station community technology center which offers access to laptop computers and Internet technology, at a press conference where we will also introduce CTC managers from ten (10) different community technology centers who will share their stories and insights.
At 11:00 a.m., at the AKARAMA Cafe, seniors will participate in a digital literacy workshop presented by Connected Living Inc., a BTOP Award grantee which provides training and technology resources to seniors.
The thirty (30) community technology centers we are establishing will be located in ten (10) different communities on the South, West and North Sides.
We're also partnering with community entities in establishing our CTCS, including Connect Woodlawn Inc. in Woodlawn, Digital Englewood Inc. in Englewood, and the Southside Technology Cooperative NFP in Brozeville/Kenwood.
For more information or to learn how to get involved, call us at 312-970-0249 or 312-473-0373.
June 27 and 28 brought program partners of One Community and other BTOP PCC/SBA grantees together at #CBAIS (Community Broadband Adoption Impact & Sustainability Conference).
Veterans of the movement assembled with new practitioners under the BTOP banner. The feel was very much reminiscent of the vibrant CTCNet conferences of old and underscored the need for us to work to rebuild and reboot the institutional capacity of the field. Toward that end numerous discussions are building upon the work of the Rebuild-Reboot retreat convened on the heels of the Digital Excellence Conference.
It has been slow going, men's health
but we remain committed and are putting together a steering committee to advance this work on the national front, grounded in the long standing vision and legacy of our field.

The IQTC is a government organisation which depends on the General Administration for Quality Supervision, Inspection and Quarantine (AQSIQ) of the Chinese government. This technology center is responsible in particular for ensuring the compliance of imported products and especially wines.
Dr. Ruf, who had already welcomed representatives from this organisation to the OIV in September 2012, presented the OIV's missions and activities in the field of oenological practices and methods of analysis to the IQTC delegation led by its Director, Dr. Zheng Jianguo.
The discussions were particularly focused on the impact of the OIV standards on global vitiviniculture, especially with regards methods of analysis. The IQTC delegation highlighted its interest in implementing analyses on the quality and authentication of wines.
The IQTC representatives also emphasised their interest in the OIV's work and offered to provide a Chinese translation of the OIV methods of analysis. Finally, both parties agreed to continue with the exchange of information between the two organisations.

"Fighting Buckaroo"
June 5, 2008
The year is 1943. Another Western for Charles Starrett. The Starrett/Hayden team is over, after 8 films. It's less than a year before Colbert Clark will say, "Hey wait, remember that film from 1940? Something called "The Durango Kid"?
So let's take a moment to take stock. To check out the State of Charley as he is on the verge of playing the character that would define him.
So what's Charley like in "Fighting Buckaroo"? Well, he's tough. This scene pretty much defines him. He hears gunshots and finds a dead body next to a burning haystack. He picks up a newspaper lying (somehow) on the ground nearby. Headline reads: "Rustling Terror Grows."
Charley: "Same old story, men trying to get something for nothing."
He's also late. There are two whole numbers by the band before Charley shows up. It's over 13 minutes before he is even introduced.
I don't know if Jock Mahoney was doing Charley's stunts yet, but someone does some great horse work, hanging off the side of the saddle, facing backwards and shooting.
And Charley himself does at least some of the slugging in a great no-holds-barred brawl, with furniture breaking and windows shattering.
Steve Harrison has come to town to help his BFF Dan McBride. Turns out old Dan has a crooked past and Steve, a former Texas Ranger, once arrested him. Now Dan's gone straight, has a daughter and a sweetheart and a house band, and is being falsely accused of rustling. Steve's gonna save him.
Future Country Music Hall of Famer Ernest Tubbs has a sizable speaking role as Ernie, Dan's foreman. Comic duties are handled by the improbably skinny comic relief Arthur "Arkansas" Hunicutt.
A couple more things about 1943's Steve. He likes things the hard way — concocting this unnecessarily complicated trap at the end. He's also an idiot — standing up and shaking a guy's hand during a 20 man shoot-out.

Gjoa Haven is a community that is closely tied with the lore of the Northwest Passage. It is in this area that Sir John Franklin's attempted expedition through the passage met its untimely demise. In 1903, Roald Amundsen was attempting to traverse the Northwest Passage in his ship, the Gjoa. He became stuck in what he considered to be the finest harbor in the world, in what is now Gjoa Haven.
In the coming years numerous adventure seekers, explorers and commercial interests have used Gjoa Haven as an important staging point on their journey through the fabled passage.
The Inuit of Gjoa Haven have long used the area because of its excellent hunting and fishing. Contact with European explorers first took place in the early 1800's and continued for the next hundred years. Often bemused with the unusual techniques of these foreign explorers, the people of Gjoa Haven were always helpful and friendly and benefited greatly through trading and acting as intermediaries.
The permanent community was founded after the Hudson's Bay Company opened a post in 1927, which was quickly followed by Roman Catholic missionaries. In the 1950's, the population was only 110 people but has grown steadily with the establishment of schools, a nursing centre and other services.
Today the community is a vibrant one, and still tied closely to the Northwest Passage. Gjoa Haven's tourism and cultural community is strong with continued interest in the passage. The community is also home to decentralized Government of Nunavut offices.

By Jeffrey May, J.D.
Antitrust claims against a designer/manufacturer of high-performance electronic locks and locker security solutions were dismissed for failure to allege a plausible product market limited to electronic keypad locks (EKLs). EKLs, commonly found on lockers in fitness center locker rooms, enable temporary use of lockers. Users lock the lockers by selecting and entering a code on a keypad. A complaining rival failed to justify a distinct EKL submarket, separate from a market that included electronic non-keypad lock products, for purposes of its claims that the defendant engaged in monopolization and attempted monopolization in violation of Section 2 of the Sherman Act, exclusive dealing in violation of Section 3 of the Clayton Act, and a combination to monopolize under the California Cartwright Act (Ojmar U.S., LLC v. Security People, Inc., August 2, 2017, Gilliam, H.).
Defining the relevant product market was "indispensable" to both the federal and state antitrust claims, the federal district court in Oakland explained. The antitrust claims were dismissed with leave to amend, since it was possible that the flaws in the operative complaint could be cured by the allegation of other facts.
The plaintiff's statements in support of the EKL market were conclusory, in the court's view. The plaintiff did not support its assertion that there was not reasonable interchangeability between EKLs and electronic non-keypad lock products. EKLs were sold to original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) and other dealers or distributors, and sometimes directly to end users, such as fitness clubs, universities, and businesses with locker rooms. The plaintiff could not argue that OEMs were unique vendors for EKLs since OEMs apparently purchased and promoted mechanical locks. In addition, the plaintiff did not articulate how fitness clubs, universities, and businesses with locker rooms were distinct customers of EKL products. Further, while EKLs enabled users to use lockers temporarily, the plaintiff did not state facts plausibly showing that this characteristic was peculiar to EKLs.
Even if the plaintiff had plausibly alleged a relevant product market, the Clayton and Cartwright Act claims still failed because it had not sufficiently pled the portion of the product market foreclosed by the challenged exclusivity contracts and failed to plead an antitrust injury.
The case is No. 16-cv-04948-HSG.
Attorneys: Daniel Chilton Callaway (Farella Braun + Martel LLP) and Douglas Arthur Donnell (Mika Meyers PLC) for Ojmar US, LLC. Forrest Arthur Hainline (Goodwin Procter LLP) for Security People, Inc. d/b/a Digilock.

text: DigitalThe Anonymous Tip Box: Why Do We Bother?By Karen Fratti|May 16, 2013 ShareBy Karen Fratti|May 16, 2013 Share Yesterday, the New Yorker launched an anonymous tip box. Excuse my skepticism, but I'm not sure why any newsroom wastes their resources on those things. (Sorry, boss!)Instead of being a useful, secure tool for the public to use as a means of contacting an organization, tip boxes are in reality just a kitschy, spammy, and not particularly secure design element. I get why we have them — to make a show of transparency — but how many leads have you ever gotten from the tip box?Every time I glimpse one of the notifications from ours in my inbox, I half expect the Syrian Electronic Army to pop out. But it's usually an insult, jibberish, or a well meaning publicist with a request to cover an event entirely unrelated to the theme of our blog.The key element here is safety. No one in their right mind– or at least the kind if people you'd want to be conversing with concerning a potential story– is going to try to contact you via the tip box. It's like calling someone on a landline: intrusive and unlikely to result in a timely connection. It's called email, or at this point, even a Twitter DM. If it weren't for the disturbing news this week about the Justice Department's seizure of AP's phone records, maybe I could find room in my heart for the tip box. But if phone records aren't safe from our own government, why would anyone leak something through an online tool such as the tip box? Perhaps I'm still just in shock and feeling vicariously betrayed, but the digital anonymous tip box is akin to the charming little crinkly noise my Kindle makes on my iPad. It's a cute reminder of the more idealistic days of yore — the ones we like to think existed or hope for. But it's all sort of a farce, isn't it? Sharehttp://adweek.it/2kTXXQ7 copy Adweek Adweek

I imagine the brain breaks down visual time into bits where the novel and odd are as essential to recollection as the intensely emotional. Vaguely familiar cut-up materials stand-in for everything you stumble across in a day, the amount you see and forget and the things you give only partial-attention. How does 24 hours feel? I am convinced its a metaphor for the perfect painting. 2008-2011

Brenda Patterson, part of BUTI's stellar alumni roster, discusses her experience at BUTI and her success beyond the classroom. Visit Patterson's website to learn more about this accomplished mezzo-soprano.
by Jeanne Denizard
You are a beautiful example of what incredible success can come from Boston University Tanglewood Institute (BUTI). From BUTI, you went on to Juilliard and became a renowned opera singer, touring all over the world. How do you think BUTI prepared you for this wonderful musical journey?
BUTI instilled in me and many others a specific form of artistic inspiration. From it comes the requisite courage and grit it takes to be a singer. This inspiration has at its core a firsthand knowledge of the power and necessity of art in the world.
It is essential to know these things in every fiber of your being if you are going to be a singer. Once you know this, you'll never forget it.
How were you discovered as an opera singer?
The idea of a singer being "discovered" is, of course, a bit of a myth. One's career is comprised of hundreds of performances, thousands of days of practicing and rehearsing, and also lots of auditions.
As with most singers, I have my own inner and unachievable standards for myself. Overtime, people come to know and respect you for the consistency of your work.
What do you think has been the pinnacle of your career so far? Any experience where you thought that you'd never have an opportunity to perform and yet, you have?
I cannot say what the pinnacle has been, but I can say what the hardest gig was which is therefore the one I am most proud of. It was singing the one-woman show "Ariadne Unhinged" with Gotham Chamber Opera, in which I performed a number of songs including Schoenberg's Pierrot Lunaire choreographed with the Armitage Gone! dance troupe.
You also co-founded the Victory Hall Opera in Virginia. What inspired you to open up an opera house?
I am one of three co-founders of Victory Hall Opera including fellow BUTI alum Maggie Bell. It is not so much an opera house, but an Ensemble of singers and the only one of its kind in the world. I had enough experience in my career to know that if I wanted to do the kind of work I want to do with the people I want to do it with, I would have to create it myself with my like-minded colleagues.
That kind of work is questioning, fearless, personal, relevant to our time, and especially of and by the singers themselves, by placing them at the center of the creative process.
In opening an opera house, what kind of challenges or surprises did you face? It must have been an immense task.
The challenges ARE immense in running a startup opera company, but as Renée Fleming once said, "Anything that's not opening night at the Met is a walk in the park." Singing is harder than anything else.
You've stayed connected with BUTI teaching a few classes as well. Please tell me what it was like to return and what kind of classes do you teach?
I go back to BUTI any chance I get! It is a home to me. The classes I teach there are inspired by my old mentor, the banjo player Bill Crofut, who used to give a class at BUTI about getting to the source of music-making and singing within one's self. It was about letting go of assumptions, inhibitions, and ideas about how something should be sung and making it truly your own.
What did you like most about attending BUTI and what advice would you give music students that are looking for a good school?
BUTI for me was a magical trifecta of music, Nature, and friendship. Spending a summer immersed in those three things would be good for anyone's soul! Happy Half-Century Anniversary and Long Live BUTI!

We're really pleased to be able to unveil Dynamic Bicycle's newest performance-oriented machine, the Synergy road bike. The official release of the bike is scheduled for the Seattle Bike Expo in March, but the good people at Dynamic allowed the staff of Bikecommuters.com to be the very first testers outside of their own company. How do you like them apples?
Dynamic is known primarily for its shaft-drive bicycles (the Synergy is a bit of a departure for them), and they're not afraid of trying new drivetrain options around their company. We here at Bikecommuters.com have talked about the concept behind this particular bike before, and were blown away when Dynamic told us they were going to go ahead with this machine.
Please bear in mind as we write about and show photos of this new bike that the version shown here is a pre-production model — a prototype, if you will. The production version will have a couple of minor differences in parts spec, paint scheme and frame characteristics, and we'll show you a photo of that at the end of this first look.
Billed by Dynamic as "the world's first production internally-geared road bike", this bike is aimed at the performance enthusiast who likes to think outside the box. With a drivetrain based around a Shimano Alfine 8-speed internal hub, the other item that really makes this bike stand out (and excites the hell out of me!) is the STI-style shifter co-developed by Dynamic and a Taiwanese component manufacturer.
Up until this point, the only shift controllers for the Alfine and other Shimano internally-geared hubs were trigger pods or a twist-grip unit, neither of which was appropriate for a traditional road bike without some kludgy workarounds to get those shifters onto road drop bars. Not anymore — the Dynamic's STI shifters are AWESOME and open up a world of tinkering opportunity for cyclists. I'd venture to say that if Dynamic offered these shifter units by themselves, they'd make a mint!!!
That's a little bit beside the point for right now, though. This Synergy road bike blends the STI-style technology and an IGH into a sleek, road-worthy package that is capable of some real performance. Parts spec on this prototype is very nice and include a couple of house-branded parts (crankset and external-bearing bottom bracket), Tektro brakes (R720 and R538), Ritchey Pro and Comp seatpost, stem and ergo handlebars, Cane Creek IS-2 headset and Alex 32 hole rims wrapped in some of my favorite road rubber: Vittoria Rubinos in 700c X 25. And, of course, the sweet Shimano Alfine hub.
The heart of the beast, as it were:
The frame is TIG-welded aluminum in the common "compact geometry" configuration with sloping top tube. There's nothing particularly wild about the frame — merely a well-executed oversized tubeset with some gracefully flared chainstays. The pre-production frame comes with mounting points at the seatstays for a rear rack, but no matching eyelets at the track-style rear facing forkends. Patrick Perugini, president of Dynamic, assures me that the production frame WILL have those crucial eyelets to mount a rear rack. The pre-production frame's carbon fork comes with eyelets for fender mounting, but as we saw on the OSO a few weeks ago, there's little chance a fender will fit into those narrow spaces between fork, tires and brakes. I'm not clear as to whether the production fork will have those eyelets.
Dynamic is loaning me this bike for testing purposes for only a few days — so I'll get some actual reviews up pretty soon. I received it on Tuesday via UPS and have already put about 35 miles on it…and so far I can say that it is comfortable yet nimble, it performs very nicely from a functional standpoint and I'm really glad to see such a machine on the market.
I'll leave you with a photo provided by Dynamic that shows the bike as close to actual production as possible. There may still be a couple of minor tweaks, but this at least will show the production color scheme:
Oh, and by the way — Mercutio Stencil: great guess…you nailed this one! Thanks to the rest of you for throwing your comments into the ring.

Welcome to our new web site!
To give our readers a chance to experience all that our new website has to offer, we have made all content freely avaiable, through October 1, 2018.
During this time, print and digital subscribers will not need to log in to view our stories or e-editions.
"Fun Home," based on Alison Bechdel's 2006 graphic memoir of the same name, was nominated for 12 Tony awards and took home five, including best musical and best original score. The book was written by Lansing native Lisa Kron.
"We expected to get some nominations; we didn't expect to get 12," Kron said. "It was beyond exciting."
The Wharton Center staff added "Fun Home" its Broadway slate before the Tony nominations were announced.
"When it became available, we took one look at it and said, 'We have to have this. How can we not honor Lisa?'" said Diane Willcox, Wharton Center director of marketing and communications.
While Kron had written plays before, "Fun Home" was her first foray into musical theater. To write the music, she recruited Jeanine Tesori, an accomplished theater and film composer whose score for Broadway's "Shrek The Musical" was nominated for a Tony.
"I had an intuitive sense that it was a good choice for [a musical]," Kron said. "Luckily, Jeanine Tesori agreed to work on it with me."
The duo worked on "Fun Home" for seven years, but even then they were not sure if the show would be well received.
"We were hopeful, but you really never know until it meets an audience," she said. "When it started meeting audiences, that's when we saw that it was doing what we hoped it would do."
Kron grew up on Lansing's west side and studied theater at Kalamazoo College. She moved to New York in 1984, where she lives with her wife, playwright Madeleine George. She is looking forward to bringing "Fun Home" to East Lansing.
"It's so exciting," she said. "A lot of people from here have come to New York to see the show, which has really meant a lot to me. I still feel very connected to this place."
The duo of Kron and Tesori is the first all-female writing team to win the Tony for best original score. While Kron is thankful for the honor, she is also disappointed that it took this long.
"The arts world, in general, is thought of as being progressive, but across the board, it has not been progressive in issues of gender parity," she said. "There's really no good excuse for it. It's institutionalized bias."
But she does see things changing.
"I feel more hopeful than I ever have," she said. "Consciousness has been raised around it. Certain theaters have gone from very low numbers of women writers being produced to complete parity within two seasons."
"Fun Home" opened in 2013 at New York's Public Theater, a traditional theater setup. It moved to Broadway in 2015, taking up residence at the Circle in the Square Theatre, which is an 800- seat, theater-in-the-round venue. The touring production is a scaled-up version, adapted for venues like Wharton Center's 2,400-seat Cobb Great Hall. Kron is not worried about making the transition.
"When we were making it, we never thought it would be in the round," Kron said. "Sam Gold, our director, is really extraordinary at creating intimacy between an audience and a production."
The play focuses on Alison's coming of age and her acceptance of her homosexuality. Alison's father is a closeted gay man who dies — possibly by suicide — shortly after Alison comes out to him. This family dynamic, Kron said, is the musical's emotional core.
"Every musical needs to be driven by a primal human desire," she said. "In the first lines of 'Fun Home,' this girl sings 'Hey daddy, come here. I need you.' That desire, to be connected to her parents, that is what drives the show."

Misty day in the Capital of Sweden. Still a very good tour with different opportunities for photos in the mystical mist. Great group with happy Russian girls.
Friday night and Stockholm by night tour. Tonights theme is to photograph the ghosts of Stockholm. In the photo below you might find the "ghost"? This one, uploaded direct from Sony A7r via wifi to experia.
During our last Stockholm by night we were lucky to get beautiful twilight through the whole tour. The group were smiling and we stayed for a while finding more angles and spots for good photos.
Preparing for Christmas and New years we go out to search for Santa claus on the evening tour. We settle with gold and the famous crown for tonights presents.
With a group from Singapore we had a great "Best of Stockholm" tour today. Sunset and smiling faces we took off into the afternoon light and what an evening it was. More info about the tour "Best of Stockholm"

Key features
Key Message:
- As a hybrid of a stock and a fund, an ETF has six key features.
Exchange trading - An ETF is structured as a mutual fund or a unit trust but its units, like a stock, are also tradable on the Stock Exchange of Hong Kong (SEHK).
Index tracking - To achieve the index tracking objective, a fund manager may adopt one or more of the following strategies:
- full replication by investing in a portfolio of securities that replicates the composition of the underlying index;
- representative sampling by investing in a portfolio of securities featuring a high correlation with the underlying index, but is not exactly the same as those in the index; or
- synthetic replication through the use of financial derivative instruments to replicate the index performance.
Synthetic replication is sometimes used by an ETF to raise efficiency and reduce cost. Where an ETF tracks a market (or an index in a market) that has restricted access, it has no other choice but to adopt synthetic replication through the use of financial derivative instruments.
Price index and total return index - Many ETFs track spot market indices, which measure the performance of securities traded on spot markets. Typically, a spot market index tracked by an ETF is either a price index or a total return index.
- A price index only measures changes in the prices of the index's constituent securities.
- A total return index takes into account both changes in the prices of the index's constituent securities and actual dividend/interest payments. The dividends/interest payments of the index's constituent securities are assumed to be re-invested into the index portfolio according to their respective weightings.
For details about the different types of futures indices tracked by an ETF, you may refer to Futures-based ETF.
Trading price vs. Net Asset Value (NAV) - Each ETF has an NAV that is calculated with reference to the market value of the investments held by it. However, the trading price of an ETF on the SEHK, like that of a stock, is also determined by the supply and demand of the market. The trading price of an ETF may not therefore be equal to its NAV, and this disparity may give rise to arbitraging opportunities.
Dividend entitlement - An ETF may or may not distribute dividends, depending on its dividend policy.
Fees and charges - An ETF incurs certain fees and expenses such as management fees charged by the ETF manager and other administrative costs. These fees and expenses will be deducted from the ETF's assets and the NAV will be reduced accordingly. Like stocks, trading ETFs on the SEHK incurs transaction costs such as stamp duty, transaction levy and brokerage commission.
Regulated fund - Like other authorized funds, an ETF has to comply with the relevant regulatory requirements imposed by the SFC. However, you should note that SFC authorization does not imply recommendation of the product.

It is a fact that how we look matters in our life. For example we are judged by people because of it. We get some things in our life because of it. For example those who are good-looking can easily find a romantic partner. They may look more pleasing when they go to job interviews. This is the reason why there are many who take good care of their looks.
There are many ways by which you can take care of your looks. You can start with your health and your fitness. When you have the right weight then you would look good. When you are fit you would look good too. It would also help if you dress up nicely. They say that first impressions last so if you are going to somewhere important then it is important that you dress up for that as well. For the women they also often use make-up in order to make themselves pretty.
Now what if there is a certain part of your body that you want to change because you believe that doing so would make you look better. Well one such thing that women usually want is larger breasts. They think that would make them look sexier and thus make them feel more confident about themselves. You can try natural ways to make your breast larger. There is also another common way by which women achieve that and that is through

surgery. Before you take on this surgery you have to read up on the risks that are involved in it and the possible side effects so that you are fully informed about it before you have yourself subjected to it. You can also research about the best brand of breast implants.
Now there are many cosmetic clinics at
that offer such kind of surgery to women. You can easily find them on the worldwide web. But be very careful in choosing which you would hire to do the job for you. You need to hire the best to minimize the risks. That is because they are best in doing that surgery. They have many experiences when it comes to that already. That is the reason why many trust their breasts to them. You should also ask them about the post surgery care that they offer to their patients because that is something that is important. They have to offer that as part of their service so that you can be cared for after surgery. They will also discuss with you the risks of the procedure.

Call for Papers: From De Stijl to Dutch Design: Canonising Design 2.0
Annual Dutch Design History Society Symposium
9 December 2016, De Tuinzaal, Centraal Museum Utrecht, 09:00 – 17:30 (with drinks afterwards)
Submission deadline: 15 October 2016
Tourism agencies, governments, museums, and design academies in the Netherlands and abroad are already busy preparing for the widespread celebrations of 100 Years of De Stijl – 25 Years of Dutch Design next year (2017). While De Stijl's implied beginnings (1917) are relatively uncontroversial, the proposition that Dutch design originates from 1992 is much more so. This specific construction of 'Dutch design' as an avant-garde phenomenon that started in the 1990s with Droog design and is today centred around the Design Academy Eindhoven is a clear example of design canonisation at work. In this process, what comes to count as (good) design and the knowledge about it is selectively produced in line with specific (cultural, political, economic, etc.) agendas.
However, this case also shows how today, the process of design canonisation is no longer solely decided on by traditionally recognised authorities (museum curators, design historians, high-end retail venues, influential designers) but also by an unusually wide range of 'non-expert' actors (tourism agencies, politicians, funding agencies). This dispersion of design canonisation is boosted further by digital and participatory social media technologies and platforms, which allow individuals and communities to generate a multiplicity of alternative 'mini-canons' that operate alongside and relatively independently from official or accepted ones.
Yet – and paradoxically – this proliferation of actors and multiplicity of canons does not necessarily herald the end of established canons. Indeed, the Dutch design 'brand' seems to become ever more established and entrenched. In what different ways do contemporary processes of design canonisation work, and what are the outcomes? What are the implications of this contemporary condition of ever changing canonisation processes for design historical knowledge? What repercussions does it have for traditionally acknowledged actors on the one hand, and for non-professionals on the other? Does it contribute to bringing into view the material culture of otherwise underrepresented individuals and communities?
The one-day symposium From De Stijl to Dutch Design: Canonising Design 2.0 aims to reflect on questions relating to the workings and implications of canonisation processes – both traditional and contemporary, professional and amateur – to knowledge formation and transfer concerning design. To reflect the contemporary condition whereby design canons and knowledge are created through and by actors operating in widely diverse institutions with a variety of different agendas, the symposium is structured in two parts. The morning session is structured according to a typical academic conference format, comprising the presentations of four scholarly papers followed by a response and discussion. In the afternoon session, five keynote speakers will reflect on the contemporary processes of design canonisation from their respective perspectives: academia, politics/economics, the museum, and design practice. The day will conclude with a roundtable discussion, where the different perspectives will be confronted with each other so as to bridge highly compartmentalized discourses that otherwise remain largely unknown and irrelevant to each other. Ultimately, the aim of the symposium is to generate new academic knowledge about design canonisation that is relevant to all actors involved in the process. The event will be bi-lingual: speakers are welcome to present and respond in Dutch or English.
The event is organised by the Dutch Design History Society in partnership with Centraal Museum Utrecht, where it will be held. Centraal Museum owns the largest Rietveld collection in the world, and was the first museum to acquire the entire Droog collection and a broad range of Dutch Modernism fashion in the 1990s. Since then, it has actively experimented with a range of digital and participatory platforms to share and co-create its design collection with diverse audiences. Being one of the initiators of 100 Years of De Stijl – 25 Years of Dutch Design, in which economic considerations of city branding and tourist marketing predetermined the definition of the event's content, Centraal Museum is eager to reflect on questions concerning design canonisation in the past, present, and future, and its role in it. As such, it provides the ideal institutional setting to reflect upon the symposium's theme.
Call for papers
For the morning session, the symposium welcomes contributions by academics (junior and established) of design and art history, media studies, museology, anthropology, and related fields. Potential themes to be elaborated by papers include but are not limited to:
– The processes according to which design canons are formed, today and in the past;
– The formation of alternative design canons and/or the breakdown of canonical thinking, i.e. the 'undoing' of canonisation;
– The formation of design canons beyond the traditional national framework: local/regional/global;
– The (different) roles that the media, museums, and governments/politics play in these processes;
– The impact of contemporary online mediation and distributed participatory processes, such as digital platforms, in the canonisation of design;
– New actors in the canonisation of design;
– The role of museum exhibitions and (permanent) displays in canonisation processes;
– The emergence (and the role) of new publics/new consumers of design canons;
– The canonisation of De Stijl and/or Dutch design;
– The futures of design canons.
Note that papers do not necessarily have to reflect on Dutch cases.
The presentations will be considered for an edited publication, while the results of the symposium and debate will become available from the website of the Dutch Design History Society.
Proposals for 20-minute papers must be submitted by 1 October 2016 as detailed below. Please email the document as a Word document to email@example.com.

Beyond a Brief Encounter: Everyday Interactions Between Transport & Design
Call for Papers: Special Edition of the Journal of Design History. Deadline for submission 1st April 2016.
Design history and transport history are inexorably interwoven. From the sleek stream-lining of the Mallard to the unusual Moquette patterns that have welcomed bums to London Underground seats since the 1930s, designed elements have filled perceptions and experiences of transport. Design was, and still is, all around passengers, workers and travellers, and the goods they carried, in modern transport, encompassed by everything from locomotives down to monogrammed drinks coasters.
There is still, however, a significant gulf in our understandings of how everyday design affected transport users. Wolfgang Schivelbusch, in his 1989 The Railway Journey, spoke of how small design choices, such as seating arrangements, could have enormous consequences (both intended and accidental) on travellers. An intermeshing of transport and design histories, two disciplines with increasingly broad and innovative approaches to source material, research questions, and interdisciplinary theory, offers exciting new possibilities. Particularly, recent developments in transport history are poised to build upon the growing trend for histories of everyday design, with a focus on process and reflection rather than following big-name designers and brands.
Editor: Andrew McLean, Head Curator, National Railway Museum.
This special edition for the Journal of Design History invites papers that address this interaction surrounding the everyday in design and transport history.
Themes could include, but are by no means limited to:
- Vehicle layout and design.
- Architecture of stations, platforms, and termini.
- "Scenic" routes and layouts.
- Tickets, labels, signs, and other printed or typographic material.
- The material culture of travel.
- Presentation of transport in literature and modern media.
- Passenger experiences.
- Spaces of sociability, privacy, comfort or danger.
- The senses and travelling, transport, and infrastructure.
- Liveries, insignia and staff uniforms.
- Children and the experience of travel.
- Accessibility and disability in transport design.
- Cycles of destruction and reconstruction in transport design.
- The interplay between transport design and the landscape.
- Engineering and design experts and expertise.
- Advertising, promoting, and selling modern transport.
- Safety, security, or hygiene and design.
- Design differences between passenger and goods lines.
- Briefs, consulting, and contracting of design work after privatisation.
Submissions covering other aspects of transport and design history are also encouraged.
Please email an abstract of c.300 words to email@example.com by 1st April 2016.

One of my favorite things to do! It's to shoot an ad for Oblique Magazine-an ad for myself and this great business of Beachbody. So it will be in every month! Let's see what kind of business this generates :)!
FYI-Oblique Magazine is a local fitness magazine that is free to the public-hence everyone I know reads it. Coaches-find something similar in your area and for a minimal fee, you can get a great advertising tool that will work for itself. I'll let you know how it goes! :)

This was the code of that controller in which we had already used the techniques specified in the two previous posts (extending Angular resources with behavior and moving logic to simple JavaScript widgets):
Even though most of the logic in this controller had been removed by using four widgets, (activities, dateRange, categoryList and pagination), there was still duplication in the functions that were doing the coordination among widgets (see functions: loadMonthActivities, loadWeekActivities, loadYearActivities, loadCurrentDateRangeActivities, loadNextDateRangeActivities, loadPreviousDateRangeActivities and selectCategory).
A way of getting rid of this code was using events.
We started by publishing a 'DateRange:Changed' event using the Angular's $rootScope.$broadcast from the updateRange function inside the dateRange widget and then added a listener for that event in the controller which loaded new activities every time that event was published. We also added some new convenience helpers to the dateRange widget in order to make it easier to use from the partial.
This was the resulting code of TracksIndexPageController after these changes:
Notice how the functions loadMonthActivities, loadWeekActivities, loadYearActivities, loadCurrentDateRangeActivities, loadNextDateRangeActivities and loadPreviousDateRangeActivities have dissappeared and how this piece of code
was listening to the 'DateRange:Changed' event to reload the activities every time the date range changes.
Next, we did the same for the categoryList widget getting this new version of TracksIndexPageController:
in which selectCategory was gone.
The duplication that we highlighted in the first version of the controller had been removed but there were still some things we didn't like in this code.
- We were using strings to identify the events in different parts of the code (the widgets and the controller). This was a case of the magic numbers smell.
- Now our widgets weren't simple JavaScript objects anymore because they were using Angular's $rootScope.$broadcast inside. This made their testing a bit more difficult.
To avoid the second problem and make our code easier to test we created a wrapper on Angular's $rootScope.$broadcast:
This is a fragment of the current tests for the dateRange widget where we spy on eventPublisher to check that its publish method gets called whenever a function that updates the date range is called:
After all these changes this is the current version of TrackDetailsPageController:


text: Thanks very much. I have upgraded to wine 1.1.1 and as you say, the install and app run without msvcp71.dll errors. But this only enables me to get to the spot I had somehow, through repeated attempts, gotten to before my first post. If I run Russian or Kazakh, there are missing characters replaced by a box and characters that are just wrong (compared to a OS X install). This may be more of a Cyrillic character-set problem than a font problem. "winetricks fontfix" has no visible effect. "winetricks allfonts" causes the app to fail on startup: $ wine "./drive_c/Program Files/Transparent/Before You Know It 3.6/Lite/BYKI36WinLite.exe" fixme:keyboard:X11DRV_LoadKeyboardLayout L"E0010412", 0100: stub! fixme:win:EnumDisplayDevicesW ((null),0,0x32efec,0x00000000), stub! fixme:dciman:DCICreatePrimary 0x35c 0xc0128c XIO: fatal IO error 11 (Resource temporarily unavailable) on X server ":0.0" after 55377 requests (55369 known processed) with 0 events remaining.

About Ehrlich Motorwerks
If you've got this far on our website, there's probably something you and I agree on. Whatever that is, I bet it has something to do with vintage cars. That connection is part of what made us want to start Ehrlich Motorwerks.
We also believe in living a life we can look back on and be proud of. That has to do with respecting people, doing the right kind of business, and spending time caring for the cars while we have them.
Whether you call, email, or stop by, you'll get care and respect. It all comes down to a simple fact: we like having good relationships.
The team here at Ehrlich Motorwerks is pretty eclectic. We have worked in the food industry to automotive engineering; missions work in Mexico to creative writing.
I detailed cars for 12 years and spent several years in the corporate design world.
After all of that time, I couldn't get cars out of my blood or off my mind.
So, here we are, Ehrlich Motorwerks in Siloam Springs, Arkansas. It's my hometown. The Ozark Mountains have some of the best driving roads, some of the best scenery. We're proud of what we've worked hard to build and what we're working to build with our customers for the future. While our primary focus is cars, we also find a lot in common with other entrepreneurs trying to make a vision happen. We love great product design, art, and excellent craftsmanship.
Thanks for wanting to know more about us and visiting our site.

The FIR was registered at the Gosainganj police station in the wake of mounting pressure from different quarters .
"Taking cognisance of the complaint made by Dr Sachan's wife Malti Sachan to Lucknow DIG Police, we have got a FIR registered with the Gosainganj police station against unidentified persons," said an official spokesman.
However, the slain doctor's son Sankalp Sachan is not impressed with the government's belated decision to allow a "murder" case to be registered .
Reiterating the family's demand for a CBI probe into the alleged murder, Sankalp told mediapersons, "I fail to understand why the state government is so reluctant to order a CBI probe even after two chief medical officers and a deputy chief medical officer have been murdered -- I have reason to believe that top people
including the chief minister are behind it."
Earlier, he had also pointed the finger of suspicion at the ruling Bahujan Samaj Party (BSP) MP Dhananjay Singh.
He said, "My father was killed simply because those higher-ups knew that he was all set to expose everyone once he was produced before a court; and they found it convenient to twist it as a case of suicide."
Earlier, while taking suo motto cognizance of the case, the State Human Rights Commission issued a notice to the state government alleging, "nine injuries out of which eight were ante-mortem (caused before death) and one was caused after death."
The notice, issued by SHRC member Vishnu Sahai, said: "In my prima-facie opinion if the facts stated therein are correct, in view of the substantial dimensions of the two ante-mortem injuries, coupled with the post-mortem ligature mark it requires to be deeply probed whether the deceased was first killed and thereafter strangulated or he committed suicide."
He went on to add, "I have no reservations in observing that the presence of a post-mortem ligature mark is incompatible with suicide."

A study in meteorological tolerance
It hailed yesterday.
I'm sure this might not seem odd to some of you — those who live in colder climes, those who seek out such weather, or those who live on top of a really tall, and perpetually snow capped, mountain. But to me, in Southern Ontario, where daffodils are proudly lifting their golden heads and blossoms are blooming, hail was not what I expected on the second day of May.
I should probably explain something. I don't like cold. Yes, I know, Canada. I have no problem with winter, per se; I love having my hands wrapped around a mug of hot chocolate, I cannot get enough of the smell of evergreen and I wish I could capture the magic of the world under a blanket of snow. Furthermore, let me tell you, I am nothing short of adorable in a snappy parka and mitts combo. But, I hate the state of being cold.
Yesterday was a crisp and gorgeous day, with blue skies and that amazing smell of damp soil, all herbaceous and green. It was like the landscape was about to burst. But instead, the skies did. Not a little hail, but a veritable avalanche of hail (I may be exaggerating a bit). Either way, it was pinging off sidewalks, pinging off of windows and pinging off my not-at-all-suitable-for-this-sort-of-freak-weather spring jacket.
By the time I got home, my hair was matted and wet, my teeth were chattering and I was not amused in the least. And, I was cold. After some general pouting about the unfairness of it all, I found solace at the bottom of a bowl of miso soup and some green tea. The world started to slowly become right again.
Today has brought lower than seasonal temperatures, overcast skies and a 40% chance of rain. And yet, I'm somehow rejuvenated. The daffodils are still outside my window, market stalls are starting to fill with local produce, and spring doesn't seem too far away. There must have been something magical in that miso. I'm completely prepared to wait.
But that won't stop me from conjuring the season with food.
This salad simply tastes like spring. With bright and clear flavours, you can't help but be happy when you eat it. Ever since delectable posts on the topic of asparagus started popping up with the crocuses, I have been nothing short of obsessed with roasting it. This recipe makes use of leftovers from a staple meal in our house: roasted potatoes, salmon and asparagus, with variations on aioli. I have now taken to purposely making too much salmon and asparagus, just to guarantee tomorrow's lunch.
Spring salmon salad with roasted asparagus
My own creation, but inspired by the chickpea salad from Bistro by Laura Washburn
All quantities are simply guidelines — I usually make this salad with whatever I have on hand
3/4 cup diced zucchini
3/4 cup diced cucumber
1/2 cup diced roasted red pepper
1/2 cup diced roasted yellow pepper
1/3 cup julienned sundried tomatoes
1 tablespoon capers, chopped roughly (left whole if small)
Handful of snow peas, blanched and julienned
1/2 cup cilantro leaves, whole (simply picked from stems)
1/2 cup parsely leaves, whole (simply picked from stems)
5 roasted asparagus spears, cut into ½ inch lengths, approximately 1/2 cup
8 ounces roasted salmon filet
1/4 cup rice wine vinegar or lemon juice
1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
Coarse salt and freshly ground black pepper
1 small shallot, minced
Zest from 1/2 a lemon
3/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil
Combine all salad ingredients, except salmon, in bowl.
In a separate bowl, whisk together rice wine vinegar, mustard, salt, pepper, shallot and lemon zest. Drizzle in oil, whisking constantly.
Pour as much vinaigrette as you'd like over the salad, tossing to coat.
Flake the salmon filet, add to salad and gently combine. If you toss too enthusiastically the salmon will continue to flake — I like to add the salmon last, so that I can preserve larger pieces.
• Omit capers and salmon from above recipe. Add one can of chickpeas and a 1/2 cup of crumbled feta to the salad instead. For the vinaigrette, replace the rice wine vinegar with red wine vinegar, and add 1 teaspoon minced garlic, 1/2 teaspoon oregano and a 1/3 teaspoon of ground cumin.
• Omit capers and sundried tomatoes from above recipe. For the herbs use only cilantro and add in one finely sliced red chili. Replace the vinaigrette with one made with 2 tablespoons lime juice, 2 tablespoons vegetable oil, a few drops of toasted sesame oil, 2 teaspoons fish sauce, 2 teaspoons hoisin sauce and 2 teaspoons Chinese chili-garlic sauce. Just before serving, sprinkle a tablespoon of toasted sesame seeds over entire salad.

Pages: 380
Release Date: January 10th 2017
Series: Loom Saga #1
Genres: Fantasy & Magic, New Adult, Steampunk
Her vengeance. His vision.
Ari lost everything she once loved when the Five Guilds' resistance fell to the Dragon King. Now, she uses her unparalleled gift for clockwork machinery in tandem with notoriously unscrupulous morals to contribute to a thriving underground organ market. There isn't a place on Loom that is secure from the engineer turned thief, and her magical talents are sold to the highest bidder as long as the job defies their Dragon oppressors.
Cvareh would do anything to see his sister usurp the Dragon King and sit on the throne. His family's house has endured the shame of being the lowest rung in the Dragons' society for far too long. The Alchemist Guild, down on Loom, may just hold the key to putting his kin in power, if Cvareh can get to them before the Dragon King's assassins.
When Ari stumbles upon a wounded Cvareh, she sees an opportunity to slaughter an enemy and make a profit off his corpse. But the Dragon sees an opportunity to navigate Loom with the best person to get him where he wants to go.
He offers her the one thing Ari can't refuse: A wish of her greatest desire, if she brings him to the Alchemists of Loom.
The most high fantasy thing I've read in a while
I can't remember the last time I read a novel where humans weren't a species featured at all. THE ALCHEMISTS OF LOOM has three races/ species: dragons, fenthri, and chimera (!!). They're humanoid in shape but that's almost where the resemblance ends (fenthri would be the closest). The tensions and history between these races (mostly dragons vs everyone else) is the main driving force behind the plot. It took a while for me to piece together exactly who was who, which species had powers, what the conflict was, etc, but once I understood I loved the entire world.
Steampunk and magic!
I love steampunk novels. The weapons and machines used in these worlds are always so cool. THE ALCHEMISTS OF LOOM combines steampunk instruments enhanced by magic. Ari's winch gear in particular was so cool (it's like a book version of the 3D manoeuvre gear from ATTACK ON TITAN). The world of Loom itself is also dirty and dark with that industrial steampunk vibe.
The shipping is strong
There is no romance in THE ALCHEMISTS OF LOOM which is refreshing. But what made this even better was the hints of future romance between Ari and Cvareh subtly and slowly developing on the side. The super slow burn romances that take books to develop are my favourite kind, especially since Cvareh and Ari had that bickering banter to admiration thing going on. These ships build the tension beautifully. I really hope this ship happens because I NEED IT TO.
Unique magic system
In the world of Nova and Loom, only those with dragon organs (dragons and chimera) may have magic because the magic is stored in said dragon organs. Different organs have different magical abilities and the magic can also be filtered into gold (which drives all the magic enhanced steampunk devices). This concept was so cool and dark (there's an organ trade because of it). I've never seen anything like this before and I really like it.
So many questions about Arianna
Ari is my favourite character in THE ALCHEMISTS OF LOOM and there is so much more to her than I first thought. I initially wanted to read this novel because she's an assassin (such a badass, she is!!) and chimera. Over the course of the novel we're teased with hints and glimpses of her past and it's generated so many questions. Her motivations are deep and buried and more detailed/ complicated than I expected. Not everything was answered in this first novel, but I'm glad it's slowly being teased out for once, especially considering there is so much more to explore in the sequels.
THE ALCHEMISTS OF LOOM is something I recommend to lovers of high fantasy. At first I was enjoying it but wasn't sure if I loved it, but the more I read the more it grew on me. The steampunk elements combined with a unique magic system was incredibly intriguing. I cannot wait to get my hands on THE DRAGONS OF NOVA to uncover more about certain characters pasts, explore Nova, and watch the plot unfold further (also to see more of my ship together because sjahksahfds)

Review: Pentoxifylline alone or as an adjunct to compression therapy improves healing in venous leg ulcersPDF
ACP J Club. 2001 Jan-Feb;134:14. doi:10.7326/ACPJC-2001-134-1-014
Source Citation
Jull AB, Waters J, Arroll B. Oral pentoxifylline for treatment of venous leg ulcers. Cochrane Database Syst Rev. 2000;(2):CD001733 (latest version 18 Feb 2000). [PubMed ID: 10796661]
Is pentoxifylline (with or without compression therapy) effective for treating venous leg ulcers?
Data sources
Studies were identified by searching the central registers of the Cochrane Peripheral Vascular Diseases and Wounds Groups, which included trials found in MEDLINE, CINAHL, EMBASE/Excerpta Medica, conference proceedings, and hand searches of relevant journals. Bibliographies were also checked, and the manufacturer of pentoxifylline (Hoechst) was contacted.
Study selection
Randomized trials were selected if they compared pentoxifylline (with or without compression therapy) with placebo or another therapy in patients with venous leg ulcers and used an objective outcome measure for healing.
Data extraction
Data were extracted on study design and quality, interventions, patients, and outcomes.
Main results
9 studies (572 patients) were included. Studies varied in the method for diagnosis of venous ulceration; 3 studies reported their setting (community-based); and all studies used oral pentoxifylline, 1200 mg (1 study also used a 2400-mg daily dosage, and 1 study also used an intravenous route for 7 d). Follow-up ranged from 8 weeks to 6 months. In studies with and with out compression therapy, pentoxifylline increased rates of healing or improvement (8 studies) and complete healing (6 studies) more than did placebo (Table). Analysis of only studies with compression therapy (5 studies) or of those without compression therapy (3 studies) still showed pentoxifylline as being more effective than placebo for healing or improvement (Table). 1 study that compared pentoxifylline and defibrotide with compression therapy showed no differences in healing at 3 months.
Pentoxifylline alone or as an adjunct to compression therapy is effective for healing venous leg ulcers.

*Abbreviations defined in Glossary; RBI, NNT, and CI calculated from data in article.
Approximately 2% of men and women in the United States will have leg ulcers at some time in their life. Venous stasis ulcers are the most common type of leg ulcer and result from chronic venous insufficiency disease. Treatment by leg elevation, multilayer compression bandages, and local care produces complete healing in 40% to 70% of patients at 6 months with a 25% annual recurrence rate.
Jull and colleagues provide a provocative review of 9 small randomized controlled trials that compare pentoxifylline with placebo as systemic pharmacologic therapy for venous leg ulcers. Pentoxifylline was associated with greater complete ulcer healing or improvement than was placebo.
On the basis of this sound meta-analysis, should we broadly adopt this therapy? Only 2 of the studies included had > 100 patients, and both studies reported nonsignificant trends toward improvement. A large, multicenter, randomized controlled trial to confirm the results of this meta-analysis would be prudent.
Recent investigational therapies, such as growth factors, flavonoids, sulodexide, and skin grafts, have created renewed interest in venous stasis ulcers. The review by Jull and colleagues helps to highlight the limited data that support traditional therapies, including aspiration techniques, pentoxifylline, elevation, occlusive dressings, compression pumps, debridement, and compression bandages. In this list, compression measures have the most support. However, vascular medicine requires more standardized definitions, measurements, evaluations, and follow-up as part of adequately powered multicenter trials. These trials should examine the efficacy of traditional and new therapies, particularly when used in combination. On the basis of the systematic review, pentoxifylline (with or without compression) deserves careful study in patients with pre-ulcers or ulcers and as secondary prevention after ulcer healing.

Release Year: 1988
Cast: Actresses: Keisha Megan Leigh Renee Morgan Tawnee Lee Featuring: Peter North Jerry Butler Mike Horner Robert Bullock
Genres: classic, feature
Video language: English
Ali Boobie And The 40 D's, a decently mounted sexvid, satirizes the mainstream comedy bomb Ishtar while using its handsome and able cast to deliver some lustful sequences. Unfunny comedians Jerry Butler and Mike Horner (they are terrible!) are sent off to the land of Ishtar by agent Robert Bullock to perform at a Third World bar. And they take sexy dancer/waitress Keisha and her 40 D's with them. The story never truly develops further, leaving time for sexy sequences with bushy Keisha (great episode with Horner), Jerry Butler and his two lesbies (Tawnee and Rene Morgan, who both look prepared to step in the forefront) and Meggan Leigh (with Bullock and North). Good acting by Keisha and Bullock, okay creation values and amazing packaging add to this debut from Trident Movie.
Format: avi
Duration: 1:16:07

Jones made some totally crazy music, some really catchy and enjoyable, others downright unlistenable thanks to what seems like a desire to work a couple dozen samples into every song.

|Kayla demonstrating her wheelchair
Do you have a dog who has suffered some kind of disabling event, whether disease, accident or abuse? Does your dog have limited mobility? You may have searched online for dog wheelchairs or carts. There are some excellent models out there, some custom made, some fully adjustable. Unfortunately, all are expensive.
If you're like me, you'll go to the ends of the earth to find a way to make life rewarding and as stimulating as possible for your canine family member. Our three-legged dog, Kayla, had a tough start to life, losing a rear leg in very traumatic circumstances. Since then, she has developed Spondylitis in her lower spine due to the constant hopping impact when walking. She also has some ligament issues in her remaining back leg.
I did a lot of research, and after reviewing all the different cart designs out there, I thought I could come up with something that would work, and so decided to attempt to build one myself. My goal was to make a functional rear-end support, using basic materials and at minimum cost. I have little formal training in this kind of fabrication, though I can turn my hand to most things. I did however once work for a software company that produces industry-leading CAD (Computer Aided Design) and 3D modeling software, so I was able to experiment with a couple of ideas along the way.
All the materials for this project were purchased at local hardware stores. I'd like to plug Ace Hardware and their excellent range of fixings and fasteners, but I also made good use of Home Depot.
I can accept no responsibility for the results if you choose to use the information presented here. It's offered simply in the hope that it encourages someone to build a cart that helps their own canine best friend. This site is presented for non-commercial purposes; please do not copy for personal gain. (c) Peter Heald 2009 - 2018.
