Customer Reviews
Average Rating
I am 55 with combination skin. I have always been extremely careful about sun exposure so my face is virtually wrinkle free except a bit around eyes from squinting as I only started wearing glasses for reading maybe 5 yrs ago. Just started with the BGA moisturizer and the BGA Mask this past week. True the moisturizer goes a long way, and I even thinned it out a tad with a drop of witch hazel mixed with orange flower water. But I might return the moisturizer because of the heavy perfumey odor! Is it to mask the sea ingrediants? It is much too strong smelling for me.
I have been using this stuff for around two to three months now. It really cleared up my acne. I LOVE IT.
A friend who has great skin recommended Aubrey products after searching for a while and trying Proactive and many other products. I haven't had better success elsewhere. My skin looks great!
I started to get acne after having my son. I tried many products that would never give results and some even burned my skin. After two days of using this the redness in my face was clear and after the first week I had no further break outs and my skin was beginning to repair itself. I love this product and recommend it to everyone. After using it for a month I extremely happy with the results and will be ordering more of Aubrey's products. I am also going to purchase the tea tree night cream!
I started developing adult acne and I tried several high priced skin care systems...nothing worked. I wanted to stick with a natural product so I decided to give this line a try....I am so HAPPY that I did!! FANTASTIC skin care line! My acne started clearing up within about 2 days. I never feel dry, I did not have to get worst skin in order to get better skin, and my face looks great! The best part is that it smells good too...I find that with many natural products you don't always have a pleasant smell..not with this line...it is wonderful! Highly recommend this product to anyone....organic, natural, affordable and best of all, it works!!!!
I have always suspected that I might have a very mild form of rosacea on my cheeks. I tried drugstore products that said they would make the redness lessen, but nothing helped. I was also having an issue with breaking out just in certain areas of my face, but my skin is too sensitive to handle the harsh acne fighting ingredients in most acne face washes. So after being thoroughly impressed by Aubrey's haircare products, I picked the BGA facial line at my local health food store, and I am really liking it. My redness is decreasing (mind you, it is not going away, but it's less noticeable), and I am not noticing new pimples forming. My face just generally feels and looks good. The face wash is amazingly gentle but very powerful. The only thing I dislike (and the reason for 4 stars instead of 5) is the scent of the lotion. It's worth it, though.

This club is for marketers and business owners who want to better understand how to use Facebook
This club has 4,691 members.
I have to do a presentations to Associations on why they need to jump into Facebook/social media with both feet.
Has anyone seen any reports about this OR are you aware of a specific association that does well on social media? If so, who is it and what are they doing that you admire/enjoy?
@ahr19 Hi Amani, I am still working on my association's Facebook engagement. For examples, I like AARP, They're good in the social media space.
Also check out NonProfit Tech 2.0. Heather has a good blog. Another resource might be Association BisNow.
Might look at CEA, NADA Convention, AFCEA, PLANET and Trout Unlimited.
Hi! Here is an interesting resource pertaining to the use of social media for associations from a legal perspective. It sounded like it could be useful.http://rkwlaw.wordpress.com/2012/05/11/using-social-media-in-homeowner-associations/
And this resource by Realtor.org is not necessarily a report, but has statistics related to the use of FB by associationshttp://www.realtor.org/articles/how-associations-use-facebook-twitter
Hope these help!
I'd like to see something as well on FB these days. I probably have a view that is so 2011.
Thanks for all of the the info @Dawnchitwoodrivers and @kc_kreative. I will take a look and let you know what I find. Is there a platform out there that is under the radar that can benefit associations?
I don't know of a specific platform that Associations use. I know some of them use Facebook groups if it's more of a membership association. And LinkedIn groups are also another place that is used for associations. But I do think associations can benefit from social media in general. It can be mixed. I know some highly targeted associations can have trouble gaining traction with a Facebook Page. I think National Association of Manufacturers does a great job with their social media presence http://www.nam.org/ but sometimes they don't even get great interaction with all that they are doing.
I use to work with a network 2,500 associations in the south. I think part of the problem in the trade association field is that businesses often perceive their association as directly competing with them… especially of the business is in advertising or marketing. Long before the internet this rivalry began in the Chamber of Commerce industry, where just to survive, chambers started producing their own publications instead of publicizing and promoting the local ad businesses who did this. Their need for more money to survive, along with waning membership fees, drove them to be more competitive and branch out in more competitive niche marketing and ad ventures, gaining more direct competitors and rivals in the process.
Add the internet to the mix and… voila… a lot of mistrust and direct competition for followers and customers has mushroomed into an all out competitive war among many associations, chambers, and even charities. On the local level, there truly are only so many pieces of the pie to go around. As the geo pie gets bigger, it would seem it ought to be less competitive, but that's not the case. The larger the geo area the association covers, the more aggressive it becomes in guarding MORE small local territories.
Just a little background on geo competition among trade and other associations. Local ALWAYS means no-holds-barred wild-west-competition.
So while a local association may have many active members, it may find itself shunned in the internet airspace… as its a finite pie with only so many Top 7/10 spaces to go around… and a business is not about to give up their chance at a spot to be on Page One of the SERPS to their direct competitor trade association.
In other words… it's complicated

- What is a trust?
- How does a trust avoid probate?
- What is a will?
- What does a will accomplish?
- Do I need a will?
- What happens if I die without having a Will?
- When should I review my existing Will
- What special planning should I do for my special needs child?
Anderson & Associates, P.C. provides sophisticated and personal estate planning and probate services to all clients, regardless of the size of their holdings. Our experienced estate planning lawyers are committed to providing the individualized services and timely response and follow-up that are essential to meeting each client's personal needs.
Whether you are younger or older, married or single, a parent or without children, you need to invest in an estate plan. There is a lot to be gained by you and your loved ones through estate planning; moreover, even more can be lost if you don't.
Estate planning is the process by which an individual or family arranges the transfer of assets in anticipation of death. An estate plan aims to preserve the maximum amount of wealth possible for the intended beneficiaries and flexibility for the individual prior to death.
Estate planning is much more than having a will. Proper estate planning will avoid the chaos and wasted assets of an unplanned estate, enhance your sense of security, and provide a dimension of personal well-being to your loved ones.
Wills and trusts are common ways in which individuals dispose of their wealth. Trusts, unlike wills, have the benefit of avoiding probate, a lengthy and costly legal process that oversees the transfer of assets.
Generally, a trust is a right in property (real or personal) which is held in a fiduciary relationship by one party for the benefit of another. The trustee is the one who holds title to the trust property, and the beneficiary is the person who receives the benefits of the trust.
A trust is a form of property ownership. The person who sets up a trust is called the "grantor" or "settlor." The trustee is the "legal" owner of the trust property, and her name is on any document of title. The beneficiary is the person who receives the benefits of ownership, such as the right to receive the income from the trust's investments. A "living" or "inter vivos" trust is one that is set up and funded while the grantor is alive. Usually the grantor names his or her self as both trustee and beneficiary. In contrast, a trust which comes into being under the terms of a will, after the grantor's death, is called a "testamentary" trust.
How does a trust avoid probate?
When an estate is conveyed through a Will, the probate court must validate the Will before its provisions can be executed. The probate process can require up to two years. Assets held in a Living Trust, however, are not subject to probate. The advantages of avoiding probate are several.
- Expedited distribution: A Living Trust allows assets to be distributed to your heirs as quickly as your trust agreement instructs and the taxing authorities allow, without the additional delays of probate. Your spouse, for instance, could receive income to provide for living expenses immediately.
- Expense reduction: The expenses of probate are completely avoided for all assets held in your Living Trust.
- Privacy and confidentiality: When a Will is entered into probate, all of its provisions become a matter of public record. Since a Living Trust is a private arrangement, its terms are not made public at your death. Your assets and intentions are known only to your trustee and beneficiaries.
A will is a written statement directing who will wrap up your financial affairs, and who will receive your money and other property, when you die. The property left in your name at the time of your death is called your "estate." The ones you name in your will to receive your property upon your death are called "legatees." They may or may not also be your "legal heirs."
The person named in your will to be in charge of your estate when you die is called the Executor. The job of the executor is to investigate what you own at the time of your death, make a list of all of your property, collect all of your property, care for your property until it is sold or passed on to the people you have selected to inherit it from you, pay your bills, file your final tax returns, and finish up any other financial business required of your "estate" after your death.
Once everything is done to wrap up your financial business, the remaining money or other property can be distributed to the legatees named in your will. Money and property held in joint tenancy ownership, such as a bank account or house, goes automatically to the surviving co-owners upon the death of one owner. Similarly, property held in trust, or in a payable-on-death account, goes automatically to the named beneficiary upon the death of the owner. Life insurance proceeds go automatically to the named beneficiary on the death of the insured person. These types of property are not affected by your will.
">What does a will accomplish?
A carefully crafted will is your most reliable guarantee that distribution of your assets is conducted according to your wishes. In addition, your will:
- Enables you, if your family includes minor children, to specify who will assume responsibility for their upbringing as well as the manner in which you wish them to be raised
- Presents the most dependable way of communicating any special intentions you have (arrangements for the continuing care of pets, for example)
- Provides the best means of indicating who should receive items and "keepsakes" that hold sentimental value
You may believe that you don't need a will. Perhaps you assume that a will is unnecessary since states laws exist that, absent a will, govern the division and distribution of your assets after your death. Or, you may feel that the size of your estate doesn't warrant a will.
What happens if I die without having a Will?
Not having a will means that you:
- Surrender to the state all important decisions affecting the well-being and future security of your heirs
- Are at risk of having your property divided in a way that's not to your liking
- Forego opportunities to reduce taxes through trust arrangements
When should I review my existing Will?
Your will may be changed as often as you wish. If the change you desire is relatively simple, an amendment to the document, known as a codicil, is executed with the aid of an attorney. If you decide to write a new will altogether, the new document should specifically revoke all prior wills. (Remember that revoking a will automatically revokes its codicils, but revoking a codicil does not necessarily revoke a will.)
In addition, you should review your will when any of the following events occur:
- A change in marital status
- The birth of a child
- A change in your state of residence
- A significant change in the value or character of your assets
- A change in intended beneficiaries
- The death of a beneficiary
- The death of a guardian, trustee, or personal representative named in your will
- A change in tax laws affecting federal estate tax deductions and calculations
- Once every five years
If you believe a change to your will is necessary you should consult an attorney who is familiar with the probate code of the state in which you live. He or she will know how best to comply with various state requirements.
Special Needs Planning
Anderson & Associates, P.C. assists families in planning for disabled children, or other family members who are, or are likely to become disabled, and who require special protection. Through the use of special needs trusts, asset planning and coordination of private and public resources, our experienced attorneys help families to maximize resources and enhance quality of life for loved ones.
What special planning should I do for my special needs child?
Relatives should take steps to protect an inheritance or gifts planned for a disabled family member, if the disabled person will be unable to properly manage money, investments and other property independently. It is unwise to allow the disabled relative to receive or inherit property that may be lost or wasted through poor judgment, exploitation, or neglect, or which might jeopardize eligibility for important governmental benefits.
The best way to protect such property is to set up a trust where a responsible person, or trust corporation, can manage it for the disabled relative. Unlike giving money to relatives in the hope that they will "do right" by the disabled person, a trust imposes a legal duty on the trustee to act in the person's best interests.
The type of trust selected depends on the goals and circumstances of the donor or grantor who is giving money and property to the disabled relative. Trusts may be revocable or irrevocable. Property in a "support" trust is available to meet the disabled person's financial needs, but may disqualify her from receiving means-tested governmental benefits.
Third-party discretionary "special needs" or "supplemental needs" trusts have been used for many years as a planning device to protect the governmental benefits eligibility of disabled individuals who are to receive assets through inheritance or gifting from third parties. These trusts are customarily known in Illinois as "Phillips" trusts.
The key features of a "special needs" or "supplemental needs" trust are (1) a clearly stated purpose to supplement, and not to replace, funds available from governmental programs or charitable sources, (2) a trustee with complete discretion to use the funds in any way, for the benefit of the beneficiary, except as limited by the trust document, and (3) a prohibition on utilization of trust funds to meet basic support needs that are adequately met by governmental or charitable programs. The beneficiary has no legal right to access the funds in such a trust for her own support. Property in a "special (or supplemental) needs" trust does not affect the child's eligibility for such benefits, and, with proper planning and administration, may be devoted to enhancing the disabled child's quality of life.
For experienced legal representation in estate planning matters, contact the lawyers of Anderson & Associates or call 312-345-9999 (Chicago) or 847-995-9999 (Schaumburg office) or 630-653-9400 (Wheaton office) to schedule a free consultation.

Hello all,
I was recently assigned to Cannon AFB and will be arriving there over the next 6 months. I was just wondering if people who have been stationed there can share their opinion on the place. (On base and off) How far is it to the scenic part of New Mexico, how often do they deploy, etc.

I drove through there on my way to an equally lush base (Mt. Home). What I saw there was not all that bad, the town is moderatly sized (40 thousand), and the base is surrounded by farms, cow farms. As far as how often they deploy, that will have to be answered by a veteran.

I was at Cannon from 98-01, We deployed quite a bit, but I am a Fuels guy, so we were gone more since we had to support all 3 squadrons. I am not sure what the tempo is like now though.

I was there in a different era! 1974-1977, so I know things have changed. The Town has gotten bigger, the base has gotten better and they have these little planes there not the Aardvarks! So everything has gotten better! LOL!
It's a great town that supports the base as well as any town. Some nice Church communities if you partake in that. Very Good Schools. Affordable off base housing.
And it's FLAT_________________ There are some beautiful parts of New Mexico, but Clovis is not one of them. Heading just north you come off the plateau and there are some nice hiking trails there. To the South West and the Northern parts of New Mexico you have some great Mountains to hike and camp in.
All in all, I had an enjoyable time there for a year before I got married, and after I brought my wife from NY there, she enjoyed herself too. "IF" we had stayed in the USAF, I would have liked to have rotated back there.
Hope that helps!

I was there from Feb 03- Nov 04. It is a boring area and there isn't a whole lot to do, but it is all what you make of it. Towards the end, I honestly didn't mind the place that much. I was always kept on my toes and there is plenty of work out there. The base is like an experiment base to the AF. They try new things at Cannon that they will not do anywhere else. Also, we won lots of awards in the MXG, so everyone expects so much out of maintainers. You will experience it alll for yourself. The people are good there too. Facilities are decent (way better than here in Osan). Good Luck!
Geaux Saints!!!

I was there from Feb 96 - May [Link pending approval] Hated it at first but the place kind of grows on you. The people in the 522fs were the best group of people I have ever worked with. We had our share of trips to the sandbox and even got to participate in Desert Fox in 98 dropping bombs on Iraq. Everyone is in the same boat there making the best of a not so awesome location. Certainly I would have rather been at Luke, but it sure was nice deploying to Nellis as much as we did!!

Well there is a walmart in [Link pending approval] [Link pending approval]'s about [Link pending approval] a walmart. There is really nothing to do in [Link pending approval] real city is lubbock,TX (about [Link pending approval] hours away). Depending on which AMU you go to will greatly determine how much you like the base. 524 or 522 will make you happy. Hopefully cannon will be on the BRAC and will stay on it. Get on the housing list as soon as you can. The houses that are actually ON the base are pretty bad but there is military housing right off the base (less then 1 mile) that is pretty decent.

I was there from 87-90, 91-00. I'm from a smaller town, so the size didn't bother me. We went on many a TDY, Team Spirit, Nellis(16 times), England, Saudi, Turkey, etc. The only thing I complained about was that for the occasional trip to the "big" city was a minimum of 1 1/2 hour drive if you drove the speed limit.
I've been at Luke since Jan 2000, and to be honest, sometimes I'd rather be back at CAFB. Too many (stupid)people, heat. Basically, big cities aren't for me. Cannon is no gleaming jewel, but neither is it the steaming pile of cow sh*t you've heard about. It has it's fair share of stupid stuff going on, but what place doesn't.

I was stationed at CAFB from Aug 01 till Apr 05. I'm glad I finally left, but I made alot of good friends and learned a whole lot. I was in the 524 and deployed to kuwait for OSW/OIF. "Shock and Awe" baby!!! We usually spent about 2-3 months a year TDY at Nellis. The deployment rotation isn't too bad, but our TDY schedule was hectic during the spring and summer. I usually lived out of a suitcase from Feb till Aug every year... Oh and there is a Chili's now, so Wal-Mart isn't the only fun in town anymore. Hope you like wind....

That's what I'm saying! I'm starting to get tired of this whole DNIF thing! At least I can still fly the sim. By the way, how do you have the time to be on at all times of day?!

My whole family had a blast. We have done canopy tours before and Treetop Quest is by far the most fun yet!
We spent our 19th Anniversary in the trees and it was the best!
Absolutely perfect time for all of our party (ages 5-50)! Treetop Quest is well designed and the staff ensures it's well implemented. We will absolutely be back!
"Guides were awesome. Loved the challenge of this obstacle course! Will be returning with friends!!!"
I've been telling everyone I see about the museum and the obstacle course! AMAZING! The kids in my party ranged from age 8-15. Everyone loved it!!
Had a fantastic time. Staff were friendly, helpful and the atmosphere was very relaxed and fun. Loved that the courses were self-guided, we were even able to repeat the ones we liked best. Would definitely recommend this to friends!
Absolutely loved it!!! We had so much fun and even tho we're from Knoxville we will definitely be going back…. I wished we lived closer so we could go more often. Its a great place to take family and visitors
Really fun, challenging, and unique experience!
Great set up for kids and adults. Was great family fun!!

Continuing Non-Degree Programs
The holder of a baccalaureate degree who wishes to study on a nondegree basis without necessarily concentrating in a single department may be admitted to the University Graduate School as a Continuing Nondegree student on the Bloomington campus.
Such students may not accumulate more than 18 credit hours in a single subject area, and may enroll only in those courses for which they can obtain specific permission to register, which takes into consideration the academic background of the individual and course enrollment limitations. Continuing Nondegree students do not pay an application fee but are responsible for regular tuition and mandatory fees as well as a $25 processing fee each semester they enroll through the program. A person may register for undergraduate or graduate level courses; however, graduate fees are assessed for all.
The University Graduate School requires that while registered through the Continuing Nondegree Program students have:
- no less than a 3.0 cumulative GPA;
- no more than 18 credit hours accumulated per subject area;
- no more than two incompletes; and
- no more than 12 credit hours in one semester.
As do all Indiana University students, all Continuing Nondegree students must abide by the Code of Student Rights, Responsibilities, And Conduct and the Registrars Enrollment and Student Academic Information Bulletin. If taking classes through the CND Program in a school other than the University Graduate School, the Continuing Nondegree student is also subject to the policies of that school.
A student initially admitted as a Continuing Nondegree student who later wishes to obtain a graduate degree must make formal application and be admitted to a departmental degree program. The department may then recommend to the dean that credit earned as a Continuing Nondegree student be applied to degree requirements. Students should be aware that certain departments and schools specifically prohibit work taken under Continuing Nondegree status from counting toward a degree after a student has been admitted to a degree program. If an applicant knows to which degree program he/she may later apply, the applicant should seek the departments policy of accepting credit taken as a nondegree student.
For further admission and program information, students should consult the University Graduate School at Bloomington, Kirkwood Hall 111, email@example.com, (812) 856-4503. People interested in only undergraduate-level courses may contact the School of Continuing Studies Bloomington, Maxwell Hall 020, 750 E. Kirkwood Ave., firstname.lastname@example.com, (812) 855-4991. If interested in a graduate nondegree status on the Indianapolis campus, one should consider the Graduate Nondegree Program, 620 Union Drive, Room 518, email@example.com, (317) 274-1577. The three nondegree programs are similar but admission requirements and fees differ.
Note: A person who has not been admitted to a degree program but who intends to study primarily in one department may be admitted by that department with the approval of the dean as a special student. If the department of interest admits special students, one must apply to the department just as degree students do and should indicate the desired status. Not all departments admit special students.
Forms and Directions for Completion
To apply to the Continuing Nondegree Program, the applicant must complete the following online application:
As well as a paper CND Course Enrollment Request Form signed by the appropriate parties for each course you want to enroll in:
If you would like to view a paper version of the application and course request process:
Don't forget to review the Continuing Non-degree Policy Statements
Please note that a separate Course Enrollment Request Form is required for each course one wishes to take (each semester); and the applicant is responsible for obtaining the signatures from each instructor and chair. These signatures inform the Graduate School that a department is willing to allow a nondegree student in the course if space is available at the time of registrationthe signatures do not guarantee enrollment in the course unless the departmental staff choose to reserve space for the student. The completed and signed forms must be forwarded to the University Graduate School by mail, fax, or email and are processed on a first-come-first-served basis before the applicant is allowed to register. The Graduate School can not guarantee actual enrollment in the courses, because degree-seeking students have enrollment priority in the event of a space problem.
Returning Continuing Nondegree Program students need to complete only the Course Enrollment Request Form and obtain signatures each subsequent semester. Registration dates specifically assigned to Continuing Nondegree Program students are available from the University Graduate School (email@example.com) or found in the Office of the Registrars Enrollment and Student Academic Information Bulletin.
General registration information can be obtained from http://registrar.indiana.edu/ and http://bursar.indiana.edu/.

25 burpees
10-8-6-4-2 front squats
10-8-6-4-2 hang cleans
25 burpees
Rx for women: 95#
I don't know why, but I walked into the gym feeling weird today. Different. Unmotivated. I've apparently got shin splints that have really been bothering me lately, so much so that I am not doing anything impact related this week per my own prescription. My tummy has been crummy for the last week, but that could have everything to do with the fact I've been doing creatine for about a week and a half. I'm not entirely sure I'm going to continue with it, but I've known several people who do get results from using it and thought it was worth a try. So far I can't say I'm having huge results, and I promise there's no pun intended there.
I used 75# today, which was a good weight for me. Challenging but not overwhelming amounts of weight. Thankfully, I did not psyche myself into thinking I needed to attempt this one as Rx'ed. I did the first set of burpees as Rx'ed with full blown push ups. The last set I did on my knees. I've seen lots of improvements in my push ups over the last month or so, which I'm proud of. Things like push ups and pull ups are my nemesis, so it's motivating to finally see some progress.
But something funny happened to me today during the weight portion of the WOD. I started crying.
For some reason, keeping my elbows up during front squats or at the bottom of squat cleans is always hard for me. I can tell I'm letting them drop, and I know better than to do it. At one point on rep 8 in the first set of hang cleans I just couldn't get the weight up. My whole body felt heavy, and the bar just wouldn't float for me. I was sweaty, hot, frustrated, and emotional. This was the second WOD I've ever done where I seriously considered walking away. In fact, I even let my mind go there about walking up to my coach, telling her I was outta there, and then getting my keys, getting in my car, and leaving.
Then I let my mind start wondering to what Coach Jodi would say if she could hear what I was thinking. She would say that what we do here at CrossFit is supposed to make us better outside the gym. Physically we will perform better when we train our bodies, and mentally we will perform better by taking the skills of focusing and motivating ourselves and others that we practice here in the box and taking that away with us. I started thinking about everything going on in my life right now. How, I asked myself, would I ever be able to handle some of the big chunks of life I've got on my plate if I can't make it through this WOD? Sure, it's hard, but it's not un-completeable. I just had to tell myself I was going to finish it, regardless of how long it took.
Just like overloading your bar can ruin your workout, or worse yet, end up in physical injury, being emotionally overloaded or having too many irons in the fire can be too much. For me, the emotional overload caught up to me today. I am packing up my family and moving several states away in a matter of weeks. I'm moving from a life of widowhood and single parenting of small children to that of a military wife (again), parenting kids who are definitely not little anymore, and hoping to add to the brood. I have said goodbye to my friends at church as of yesterday, and there are many more goodbyes yet to come. And while goodbyes are sad, in my opinion, they are also indicative of a new, untravelled road in life, one that will lead to more adventures, more precious friends, and irreplacable life experiences. I truly am excited about all the positive things that this move will bring, but right now I just need to put down the bar and cry. After I have come to terms with it, I will have to give myself a "3-2-1-GO!"
These are some of my 0830 girls. They are what keeps me going when, left to my own wiles, I would quit and walk away from a WOD. I definitely know how to push myself and go hard, but I have learned that you cannot place a price tag on sweat-forged camraderie and friends who will holler at you to believe in yourself and to keep pushing. Just looking at this picture makes me laugh out loud and cry at the same time.
Coach Jodi talked to us today about how the coaches' goals for us include not just focusing on coming and working out. They really want us to work hard while we're there and then focus on the rest of our lives, too. True, many of us -- myself included -- place a lot of emphasis on our time at CF CenTex, and maybe too much so. I'm glad I finished the WOD, because if I hadn't I would've been more upset about giving up on something that shouldn't have conquered me. But I also feel that the time I've spent up there has been well spent in the friendships I've made and learning the value of leaning on others.

Modern amenities and conveniences ensure an additional element of comfort and style. The Cincinnatian Hotel is listed on the National Register of Historic Places and remains the only small luxury hotel in the city. Keeping With The Tradition - Our fine dining room, The Palace Restaurant, took the original name of the hotel. The Cricket Lounge kept the name of the original restaurant in The Palace Hotel, while the four meeting rooms on the second floor (Filson, Denman, Ludlow and Symmes) reflect the names of the founding fathers of Cincinnati.

It is similar to an iPhone, but more user-friendly; the touchscreen is fantastic for browsing the phone or the web and the QWERTY keyboard is great for text input. On a scale of one to 10, this is an easy 9.5."

I get to spend my birthday with Daughtry!! What could be better? Oh yeah, VIP. Anyone know if there are any plans for VIPs this year? I missed out during LTT tour. Thanks.
Re: the venue, they do sometimes set up chairs but for rock shows, it's usually standing room only on the grass. They also sometimes offer VIP seating on the balcony. Again, it's not always an option so watch the venue site.
Does anyone know much about this venue?? Obviously its outside, but what about seating, do they bring the seats in and set them up like floor seats at an arena show?

How can telling the truth be perceived to render this honest doctor
unfit to practice. The following statements are fact and he should be congratulated not chastised.
"There is punishment and fine if you throw rubbish or filth in the streets. The gays are worse than the ordinary careless citizen.
"They are causing the spread of disease with their irresponsible behaviour. They are the root of many sexually transmitted diseases."
The letter went on to call a depressed transsexual awaiting gender reassignment "twisted."
It is a fact that the twisted gay community are responsible for the spread of AIDS, government figures nhave substantiated this.
Anonanon- are you Hank under a different pseudonym? That's the type of neo-nazi fundamentalist claptrap we've come to expect from him.
Next you'll be proposing final solutions to clear the streets of the gay problem. Just one problem with your wish to eradicate the gay menace… gay people are born to straight couples, some even to homophobic ones. They just keep coming. And guess what, we don't make gay people gay, they come to that realisation independantly.

President Obama's campaign continues to hammer Mitt Romney on his finances, this time posting a new web video released on Thursday that includes man-on-the-street interviews asking the question: "Do you have an offshore bank account?"
"I don't have a Swiss bank account," says one woman. "I don't have an account in the Caymans."
She adds: "I don't have a problem with people making tons of money, but there are questions that are raised by 'Why are you keeping your money offshore?'"
The Obama campaign is seizing on a report in Vanity Fair that investigated Romney's finances, at the same time attacking the former Massachusetts governor over his tenure at private equity firm Bain Capital.
In the video, a middle-aged man asks: "I don't have an overseas bank account, and I don't think our next president should have one either."

Real Madrid playmaker
Ozil has been heavily criticised by the country's press in recent weeks, with even manager
Manchester United is reported to be keeping tabs on the 23-year-old, but Ozil does not want to leave the Bernabeu.
He told German newspaper Bild: "When you play for Real Madrid you can not think of anything else.
"I know nothing and I have no reason to leave."
Ozil lost his starting place for Real's 4-1 UEFA Champions League win at Ajax last week but returned against Barcelona in the first Clasico of the Primera Division season.
He earned much praise for his performance, which was capped with an exquisite through ball to tee up
But despite largely struggling for form this season the former Werder Bremen midfielder insists he is not motivated by his critics.
"I don't have to prove anything to anyone," he said.
"I do not play football to prove something to someone, but because I enjoy football. "

Understandably, it was with great eagerness that I wanted to sink my teeth into this book, the last volume of The Prince of Nothing trilogy. Although very sluggish in rhythm at times, The Warrior-Prophet had the sort of ending that set the stage for so much more. Hence, the question was whether or not Bakker could close the show with a flourish.
Believe me when I tell you that The Thousandfold Thought doesn't disappoint! Simply put, it's brilliant!
As was the case with its predecessors, it is an intelligent work, in every run of the mill. This novel, in my humble opinion, will satisfy purists and aficionados in a manner that will certainly make you beg for more.:-) Again, the psychological, philosophical, and religious aspects of this grand epic will undoubtedly prevent this incredible trilogy from ever becoming mainstream. Yet now, more than ever, I'm convinced that this state of affairs will allow The Prince of Nothing and its sequels to retain their uniqueness in the fantasy genre. Which, in the end, is probably priceless.
Bakker's original Mideastern setting continues to be fascinating, as well as a breath of fresh air compared to what is currently on the market. Once more, the worldbuilding is of the first order. It's pure delight to be drawn into this richly detailed universe. In addition, The Thousandfold Thought contains an encyclopedic glossary, a good portion of which I read during my lunch break today. Over 100 pages of pertinent information! I have to admit that I'm more than a little surprised that his publishers elected to include such a detailed glossary. Indeed, it has to be the most comprehensive one since the appendices found within the one-volume edition of The Lord of the Rings.
The most enjoyable facet of this novel is the fact that R. Scott Bakker turns everything around, demonstrating just how good a storyteller he can be. So expect the unexpected. And throughout the entire tale, everything resounds with a depth which we rarely encounter in today's fantasy market.
In The Darkness that Comes Before and The Warrior-Prophet, it was the tapestry woven by the characters and their actions that kept me turning those pages. The Prince of Nothing is populated by a cast of deeply realized characters. And nowhere is it more apparent than in The Thousandfold Thought.
If you believe that you know where Bakker is going with everyone, then you are sadly mistaken. The storylines take various unanticipated twists and turns, surprising the readers on more than one occasion. The characterizations, which were so impressive in the first volume, didn't progress as much in the second one. However, there is evident character growth in this one, enough to please even the most demanding fans.
As impossible as it may sound, just about every character has a role to play in the outcome of the Holy War. And you better buckle up, for Bakker has a lot in store for Achamian, Esmenet, Kellhus, Conphas, Maithanet, Proyas, and all the others. They are all, in different degrees, important.
Another fascinating aspect of this book turns out to be the many revelations pertaining to the Apocalypse, the Consult, the Inchoroi, the Nonmen, the No-God, the Gnosis, the Cishaurim, etc. The glossary also contains a wealth of information concerning these things and a lot more.
Bakker maintains that almost poetic way he has with battle narrative. There is a certain sense of wonder with the way the author depicts battle scenes. And with the battle of Shimeh comprising about 100 pages of this final volume, fans of action should be more than satisfied!
As for the meeting between Kellhus and Moënghus, I will say nothing. This book review will not contain any spoilers. Read the book if you wish to find out! One thing is for sure, the last 2 chapters of The Thousandfold Thought set the stage for the upcoming series. And I just can't wait to get my hands on it!
As for the mechanical aspects of the novel, the prose is impeccable. The narrative is concise and flows seamlessly. The dialogues are genuine. And the pace is crisp. To tell the truth, I can't really find any negative comment to offer. It's that damn good! And the author manages to cap it all off with the sort of ending that's well worth re-reading a time or two.
The Thousandfold Thought will -- at least until a new contender makes its presence known -- be the book to beat this year. Having set the bar rather high, Bakker may have written what could possibly be the best fantasy novel to be released in 2006. This book deserves the highest possible recommendation. This saga is definitely a "must read" work.
So pre-order it, or buy it as soon as it becomes available. It will be released in hardcover by Overlook and in trade paperback by Penguin Books Canada.

Oregon Scooter Club - Come Ride With Us !
A few scooters were moved around the OSC today. Here is a recap of the 4 deals I was in on today.
-Ed from Salem bought Dayle's BV 250
-Christie bought Bob Block's Kymco Xciting 250
-Bob Block bought Rick's Helix 250
-Dayle bought Chisitie's Elite 250
That is 1,000 cc traded around today. Photo of Christie and her new scooter are below.
Yes - both feet are on the ground. Leg room is a wonderful thing. Now I just have to get use to hand brakes. All my other scoots have had a foot break. This one stops really fast. See you Tuesday.
Sounds like everyone won on this trade!
It's just like riding a bicycle Christie! You can never really forget how.
That Kymco looks like a great fit. Enjoy!

I am trying to get the following running:
If an ifreq is within a certain tolerance then I want to play the note.
If it is not, then I dont want to do anything.
When I do the following it seems both label and null get invoked and two notes are played all at once.
I am not able to selectively branch to blocks of code, it is as if each line of code is being executed sequentially independent of the conditioning.
I believe the problem is that there are nested reinit statements and one rireturn statement but I dont know any other combinations of opcodes to implement this logic.
Your advice sought. Instrument code follows.
ifreq = i(kfr)
if ((ifreq < ilower) || (ifreq > iupper)) igoto label
igoto null
;print ifreq
itimout 0, 0.5, chiama
idelta = ifreq * 0.02
ilower = ifreq - idelta
iupper = ifreq + idelta
reinit vai
inote = 69 + 12 * log(ifreq/440) / log(2)
vstnote gihandle1, 0, inote, 76, 10
reinit vai

Hi. My son and I are having a blast with the Hackvision games. Great job!
I played Pong with my brother in the 70s and remember that the speed of the ball increased if you had a long volley going. This made the game a bit more interesting and led to some epic games. I just looked through the code and with the exception of increasing dx to 2 or more, I can't figure out a way to speed the game up.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks, and again, great work!

This article was originally published in September 2009.
If you don't know who Ray Harryhausen is, you're on the wrong website.
Starting in the 1940s, this special effects master pioneered the use of stop-motion animation in film, mostly frequently in fantasy film.
The effects he created (often for films he produced) didn't just result in important technological advances; Harryhausen literally inspired an entire generation of movie-makers, from George Lucas to Steven Spielberg, who say that the special effects genius taught them the all-important lesson that film is limited only by the imagination.
But how have Harryhausen's films held up over the years not as historical artifacts or nostalgic reminders of childhood, but as actual movies?
Here's what we think:
The Beast From 20,000 Fathoms (1954) and It Came From Beneath the Sea (1955)
Two Torches (Out of Five)
Harryhausen had worked previously as part of a special effects team on the Oscar-winning Mighty Joe Young in 1949, but 20,000 Fathoms and Beneath the Sea were his first movies where he was in charge of the effects.
While fascinating from a historical perspective — these films pretty much created the genre of the "monster movie," and they were the first to feature monsters created as a result of "atomic testing" — the plots are hackneyed and the effects are primitive.
Of interest only to Harryhausen buffs (and fans of cheesy 1950s sci-fi).
One Million Years B.C. (1966)
Two Torches (Out of Five)
This one isn't even interesting from an historical perspective. The science is laughable, the plot is stupid, and the effects look far more dated than in other Harryhausen movies. But on the plus side, the film does contain Raquel Welch in that famous leather bikini.
(As bad as this movie is, it's still better than Roland Emmerich's 10,000 BC!)
Clash of the Titans (1981)
Three and a Half Torches (Out of Five)
By the time Harryhausen made Clash of the Titans, stop-motion animation was falling out of favor, replaced by puppets, animatronic models, and the first stirrings of CGI (not to mention a new, more realistic form of animation seen in movies like Dragonslayer known as "go-motion").
Titans has plenty of fans, and it's probably Harryhausen's most complicated animated work ever (the "Medusa" scene alone is worth the price of admission). But this loose retelling of the story of Perseus is too simplistic and earnest for the 80s. It hasn't aged well.
The 7th Voyage of Sinbad (1958)
Three and a Half Torches (Out of Five)
In the legendary adventurer Sinbad, Harryhausen found the perfect focus for his talents. 7th Voyage, his first of three Sinbad movies (and his first color film), was a major leap forward in terms of the complexity and sophistication of the effects. The plot may be a little lacking, but the dragon/cyclops battle still stuns.
Sinbad and the Eye of the Tiger (1977)
Three and a Half Torches (Out of Five)
The last of the Sinbad movies had a young Jane Seymour and a mega-budget (at the time), but a weak plot: Sinbad seeks a cure for a prince who's been turned into a baboon. And Harryhausen may finally have been running out of creatures to animate, what with a giant, um, walrus and a not-quite-convincing-looking troglodyte.
The Golden Voyage of Sinbad (1974)
Four and a Half Torches (Out of Five)
The middle, but best of Harryhausen's three Sinbad movies has a simple, but classic plot: Sinbad races a villain to assemble the pieces of an amulet that forms a map that leads to the "Fountain of Destiny." When the amulet is put in the fountain, it grants one youth, a cloak of darkness, and a crown of great riches — all well-illustrated in the film.
But the movie also includes one of the most interesting/creepy sequences in all of fantasy film: the villain creates a flying "homunculus" that does his bidding — though the creation of each creature drains the wizard of life-energy, aging him. And the (admittedly politically incorrect) battle with Kali is pretty cool too.
Mysterious Island (1961)
Four and a Half Torches (Out of Five)
Mysterious Island, loosely based on the Jules Verne novel, may be Harryhausen's most coherent, most fully realized movie. For one thing, there's a plausible reason for the over-sized creatures that the hero confronts: they're all part of an experiment by Captain Nemo (living on the island years after the events of 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea).
The giant bees are great, but the crab scene is classic.
Jason and the Argonauts (1963)
Five Torches (Out of Five)
Argonauts is widely acknowledged as Harryhausen's masterpiece (and it's the filmmaker's own favorite film). We agree. It's true that the film has an abrupt sort of non-ending, but that flaw is forgotten in light of indelible imagery such as the statue of Talos that comes to life and — of course, Harryhausen's most famous sequence of all — the skeleton battle.
When Tom Hanks awarded Harryhausen a special Oscar in 1992, the actor said, "Some people say Casablanca or Citizen Kane. I say Jason and the Argonauts is the greatest film ever made."
It's a really hard statement to disagree with.

What do managers and executives believe and feel about workplace spirituality or assessments of its purported benefits? In this article, the authors present the results of a two-year empirical study based on face-to-face interviews and questionnaires. Participants differentiated strongly between religion and spirituality, viewing religion as a highly inappropriate form of expression and spirituality as a highly appropriate subject for the workplace. Most believed strongly that organizations must harness the immense spiritual energy within each person in order to produce world-class products and services.
Meaning and purpose on the job are imparted by (ranked from highest to lowest in importance): (1) "the ability to realize my full potential as a person"; (2) being associated with a good organization or an ethical organization; (3) interesting work; (4) making money; (5) having good colleagues and serving humankind; (6) service to future generations; and (7) "service to my immediate community." Beyond a certain threshold, the authors point out, pay ceases to be the most important factor in work life, and higher needs prevail; the desire for "self-actualization" becomes paramount.
The authors observed five basic designs or models in which organizations are religious or spiritual:
– The religious-based organization may be positive toward religion and spirituality or positive toward religion and negative toward spirituality.
– The evolutionary organization begins as strongly associated or identified with a particular religion and moves toward a more ecumenical position.
– The recovering organization adopts the principles of Alcoholics Anonymous as a way to foster spirituality.
– The socially responsible organization is led by someone guided by strong spiritual principles or values that are applied directly to the business for the betterment of society.
– The values-based organization is guided by general philosophical principles or values that are not aligned or associated with a particular religion or even with spirituality.
– Characterized by the underlying principle of hope, the models appear to have been precipitated by a critical event that caused intense difficulties for the company founders, heads, or the entire organization. All incorporate a principle or mechanism for limiting greed — both the unlimited accumulation of money and the unrestrained pursuit of power.
With a few notable exceptions, people who consider their organizations as being spiritual also see them as better than their less spiritual counterparts.
