As mission statements go, 'to be the best' will do
Idle moments are frequently filled with a trawl through agency websites to check their brand positionings, mission statements, reasons to exist. The majority make "calm down, dear" sound like the most delicious line in advertising.
My favourite right now is 101's "a free-range creative company", meaning that its staff are "free to roam" for ideas for the agency's clients. This might pique the interest, but it's hard to locate a great deal of meaning in the majority of agency taglines.
They should probably give up and plump for outright honesty. Here's my solution. Every agency in town hangs a phrase of Edith Wharton's – "fiercely independent, passionately imitative" – above their doors and just gets on with creating better work than the others that claim to do the same.
It may seem churlish to criticise start-ups, but the majority, while launching with the most well-honed positioning imaginable, come to resemble that which they set out to efface. At the first sign of the dumbest, ugliest piece of ad business on offer, they drop their shorts and lose their way.
Those that do succeed do so because of the outstanding talents of their founders. The agencies that identify and focus on what they do well and eschew the claptrap about "resetting the dial", being "an ideas agency, not an ad agency" or promising a "digital-first" approach.
Those start-ups that do succeed identify and focus on what they do well and eschew the claptrap
Which is why the impending launch from the former MCBD and Dare directors Danny Brooke-Taylor, Helen Calcraft and Andy Nairn could prove so refreshing. The trio are expert practitioners who provide the perfect balance of creative, suit and planner. Apparently honest and likeable people, they go about their business in a thoroughly professional way and have delivered big ideas and great creative executions for some important clients.
They also hold the advantage of having worked at a very successful start-up in MCBD (in Calcraft's case, of launching it too), while possessing the bruises from a difficult merger process with Dare. Accordingly, they are aware as much of what not to do in this business as the moves that bring success. Vital knowledge to have up their collective sleeve.
It's easy to identify what makes start-up agencies successful: an excellent launch team, tons of hard work and the ability to bring in the "right kind" of new business. Achieving this is the hard part. The founders of this new, as-yet-unnamed agency could do worse than using as inspiration some words chosen by Nairn at an Account Planning Group event last week. They are better than any mission statement I've seen on a website. He said: "[The awards] are slightly terrifying – you have to go beyond the ordinary and do something really exciting."

Just a Little More Blud: Firefly
- Written by Jude Terror on Monday, July 30 2012 and posted in Webcomics
In this episode of Just a Little More Blud, Jon gives Blud Blood a birthday present that she will live to regret!
Hey hemophiliacs, it's Jude Terror with another episode of Just A Little More Blud, the webcomic about which Rob Liefeld once said "I LOVE BLUD BLOOD!" for you!
As you know, you can read Just a Little More Blud on the webcomic reader a little bit early each week, and it looks nicer too. But since I know you're lazy, I've got it posted below as well. Here's the comic, and below that, my notes from the webcomic page for this episode:
Notes from the Bludhouse
I don't know what it is about Browncoats (otherwise known as Firebronies), the hardcore fans of Joss Whedon's Firefly, that causes me to revel in their suffering. I like Joss Whedon. I loved Buffy. Loved Avengers. Loved Dr. Horrible. And I know the pain of loving a show that was prematurely canceled after one season, knowing that there was so much potential for storytelling in that universe that I'll never get to experience, because I loved Freaks and Geeks. But when I see Browncoats, all having their tenth anniversary panels and trying to raise money to buy the show to give it to Nathan Fillion, I just point and laugh. Why? Maybe I'm an asshole. Maybe I'm a sociopath who can't feel any sympathy, even when I can directly relate to the circumstances of someone else's pain, if it doesn't affect me directly. Or maybe it's because you have to laugh at misfortune if you want to overcome it. That's what I'm gonna go with, because it doesn't make me look like an awful human being.
I can't speak for Jon though, who wrote this strip. He probably is a sociopath. And a jerk. Send your hatemail to him, Firebronies.

It's no secret that celebrity relationships have the average shelf life of a yogurt.
But I'm (unhappily) noticing that when it comes to A-list cougars older women who date much younger men the relationship seems almost indefinitely doomed.
Is there a cougar curse?
The latest example is The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills star Adrienne Maloof, 51, who reportedly split from her boy toy of two months, Sean Stewart. The 32-year-old, who is also the son of Rod Stewart, started seeing the reality star right after she called it quits with her hubby until she called it quits with him.
One of the most famous cougar tales of our time is that of Demi Moore, 50, and her former husband Ashton Kutcher, now 35. The two went from married PDA lovers to an ugly divorce in the public eye. The actress then had a fling with 26-year-old artist, Vito Schnabel. No surprise here: Moore and Schnabel are also now kaput.
Madonna may be the queen of the erotic animal kingdom. Madge, now 54, began dating underwear model Jesus Luz when he was just 22-years-old. When the two split in 2010, the superstar immediately traded up or should I say down when she started dating French dancer Brahim Zaibat.
Why do relationships between older women and younger men seem to disintegrate quicker than in reverse situations (example: Harrison Ford and Calista Flockhart, Michael Douglas and Catherine Zeta Jones).
"Guys like older women for their sophistication and for how put together they are," says Kim, 42, a real-life, non-famous cougar, who strictly dates guys eight years younger (or more) than she is. "The problem is when these women start to get insecure about the age difference. I'm not talking about just looking older. They'll be worried about how the men are relating them to their mothers often and how they aren't relating to the guy's friends enough."
Fair enough, but women can't always be to blame, right?
"Sometimes I'll date a guy who is just testing out what it's like to date someone older, and then, it's like, take off your big boy pants and go back to your friends at the bar," Kim says. "Some guys just can't handle a real woman, even if they think they can."
At least we'll always have Nick and Mariah. Fingers crossed.

Environment Canada fights Forest Fires in Quebec
The forests of Québec were threatened by the forest fires during the spring of 2010.
Photo: Corel Corporation © Environment Canada, 1994
Forest fires raged throughout Quebec in mid-May of this past year. Lightning and strong winds only made the situation worse, becoming particularly bad on May 26th. On that day, 30 new fire alerts were issued in addition to the 26 active fires the Société de protection contre les incendies de forêts (SOPFEU) was already battling.
The Centre des opérations gouvernementales (COG) of Quebec's Ministère québécois de la Sécurité publique is responsible for the coordination of emergency measures during these fires. In response to a COG request in May, Environment Canada provided meteorological support through the Quebec Storm Prediction Centre (QSPC).
At the request of the QSPC, the Environmental Emergency Response Section of the Canadian Meteorological Centre (CMC) provided smoke plume dispersion forecasts. These digital simulations are created using the CMC supercomputer and are based on concepts similar to the ones used to simulate the dispersion of volcanic ash.
The QSPC warning preparedness meteorologist (WPM) participated in two daily conference calls with representatives of the COG and its provincial partners (health, transportation, Sûreté du Québec and SOPFEU). The WPM also provided the COG with a daily report on the meteorological situation and transmitted smoke plume simulation results produced by the CMC This information was also relayed to regional public safety managers to support planning for evacuation and fire fighting.
The QSPC also provided data to the Quebec ministère du Développement durable, de l'Environnement et des Parcs concerning air quality and, in particular, smog. Special smog warning bulletins were issued. Health care agencies in affected areas used this information to warn the population at risk.
Thanks to recent scientific developments, it will be possible in the near future to keep Canadians better informed during similar events. The Air Quality Health Index (AQHI) promotes understanding of the effect of air quality on health. It is currently available on an experimental basis for Québec and Gatineau, and it will soon be available for Montréal. Work is also currently underway to include forest fire emission data in GEM-MACH, the operational air quality forecast model.

Peru's state agency for promoting private investment, ProInversion, expects to relaunch a tender for a rural broadband contract on 9 May, according to BNamericas, which cites a source at the government department. The contract provides for the provision of internet services to 1,050 rural municipalities across the country. The USD11.5 million tender was officially launched and awarded (to Telefonica del Peru) last year, but on 14 June was annulled after a rival bidder, Consorcio Yachay, claimed that its bid had been unfairly dismissed. Yachay insisted that one of the clauses of the bidding rules had been unclear and had led it to submitting incomplete information. ProInversion staff told BNamericas that some technical conditions of the auction have since been modified and, due to the fundamental nature of these changes, the whole tender process has to be repeated. So far the pre-qualified operators are Telefonica del Peru, Gilat to Home Peru, Rural Telecom and Consorcio Trebol Informatica e Itaca. The companies must submit technical offers to ProInversion by 29 April. Other operators interested in the project have until 25 March to submit pre-qualification documents.

You can also pay at the automatic ticket machine.
Many parking spaces are reserved for disabled persons in the main car park (P1).
We recommend locking your vehicles, since Marineland declines all responsibility in the event of theft or damage.
Camping Car
Toilets (for all 4 parks)
Men and Women's toilets are located near each Marineland attraction and in the other Parks.
Lost children (for all 4 parks)
If your child is lost, go to the Park Reception area.
Announcements will be made by loudspeaker outside show times.
Stagger times for access to shops and restaurants in summer time: (for all 4 parks)
Similarly, access to the restaurants is easier if you have lunch around 14.00, and the shops are pleasanter to visit before 15.00 and after 18.00
Leaving the Park in your car (for all 4 parks)
In summer it is advisable not to leave the Park in your car immediately after the last afternoon show, since this is when traffic is heaviest at car park exits.
It is much more pleasant to spend another half-hour, for instance at the Naval Museum (Musée de la Marine), rather than in a hot and uncomfortable traffic jam.
Don't leave dogs in vehicles (for all 4 parks)
Canine friends are only permitted within the park if they are officially accompanying a disabled visitor.
There is little shade on the parking areas. Under no circumstances should you leave an animal in your car, even with the window partly open and if you expect to be back within a couple of hours.
Dogs can die within less than an hour if left in vehicles exposed to the sun. Marineland security staff will intervene rapidly if a dog is seen within the car parks and will call the fire brigade and municipal police.
A good time to visit: night openings (for Marineland and Adventure Golf)
Evening visits have several undeniable advantages: the walkways and terraces are cool, there are fewer visitors than during the day, and there is therefore a more relaxed feel, the restaurants and shops are more accessible and the Marineland shows have a very special atmosphere, as they are transformed by sound, light and fireworks
When choosing what time to visit the parks, night openings are well worth considering!
Picnics Picnics are permitted only outside the parks. Picnic areas are available near Adventure Golf.

I think I have mentioned this before on another thread, but I think another crack should be taken at a restoration.
When the restoration happened in 1991-2 (I remember reading about it in 1991) you did not have the tools that exist now.
You did not have the type of digital tools that exist now
Look at tools like Avid technologies Pro-Tools audio software. I have seen audio editors do amazing things with this software. Think Photoshop for audio. I bet a decent engineer could pull good elements, including the music tracks, without having to re-record it. You can also re-sync elements.
You have digital editing tools from Avid, Adobe, Decreet and Apple, that could correct the white and black levels. Think Photoshop for films. I have a bit of experience in this field as well and I would love a crack at this. All I would need is a digi-beta of the print, pre "restoration" and a good editing suite and lots of good strong coffee!
Re-master and authoring of the DVD. From my persoanl persepctive, that technology has gotten better. I would love to see a Super-bit disk. Also better compression hardware exists now.
The best means would be to get a negative, scan each frame using an oil film gate (like what was used in the 'Metropolis' restoration) and then going to town with the work.
Oh, if only I had truck loads of money!

Wow, I didn't know him well, but I definitely remember reading some of his posts. RIP SonnyRules, thoughts and prayers are with you and your family.
Hey, about an hour ago, all right, their [defensive] coordinator [Juan Castillo] told us, told [offensive line coach Chris] Foerster, that [if] the Giants would have lost last week, they were in the playoffs, Kyle Shanahan said. He didnt mention that they had to beat us today. **** him, **** these guys. In 2012 the Redskins are gonna be the NFC East champions, and that starts right ****ing today.

I noticed this late. RIP

very sad to hear this.
family and friends are in my prayers.
RIP sonnyrules
Many fans associated him with a very unique sig, but he was also a dedicated fan who made many Redskins friends along the way. I enjoyed chatting with him on a few occasions and will miss his friendship and devotion to the team we support. He has the best seat in the house now for future games. Rest in peace my friend - no more suffering.
I can please only one person each day - today is not your day. Tomorrow doesn't look good either.

Hi everyone,
I'm Andrew, SonnyRules' son-in-law. I just wanted to extend my thanks to everyone here for their kind words over the last days, and for your friendship towards Ken in the years past. I know for a fact that hanging out here and in real life with you all meant a huge amount to him, and your kind words meant a huge amount to Ken's wife, his daughter (my wife) and Ken's sister. (And me, too!)
A special HUGE shout-out to Pez and Huly for attending Ken's service and sharing smiles and good stories about him. They even joined us later for Chinese food (My mother-in-law owns a Chinese Restaurant; that's where we received people after the service and burial) - I hope you guys enjoyed the food!
Again, thanks so much from me and the entire family,
Horrible to hear, went through the same with my mom ****ing Pancreatic Cancer. Best wishes and prayers. Wish we would quit wasting our money trying to save the rest of the world and rather take that money and spend it towards more cancer research. No reason why we have diseases that have been here 40+ years and people go out on hospice care from cancer.

Brian Kelly Not Running for Commissioner
The leader of a Haddonfield grassroots group decides against a run.
Brian Kelly, the face of Haddonfield United, a grassroots group that successfully spearheaded the opposition to the Bancroft public purchase referendum, has decided not to run in the borough commissioners election in May.
Voters rejected the referendum last month.
"I think it would compromise what we can do on the outside," said Kelly, 57, a massage therapist who grew up in Haddonfield, moved away and recently moved back. "We really can provide checks and balances."
Kelly said he thinks some people may see him as divisive, but others stop him on the street to ask if he's running.
"People ask me all the time 'Are you running, are you running?'" he said. "I've said no so many times."
Kelly frequently comments on stories about local government and schools on Haddon Patch. The $12.5 million Bancroft referendum was a signature effort for his group after being greatly outspent by opposition.
"When it comes right down to it, turf field doesn't represent the vision of the town," said Kelly about one of the key components of the Bancroft purchase and redevelopment.
All three seats on the board of commissioners are up for election in May. Incumbent Jeff Kasko and former Commissioner Neal Rochford already announced their candidacy, while long-time Commissioner Tish Colombi is stepping down. Commissioner Ed Borden has not yet announced his plans.

That's too bad. I was looking forward to supporting Brian's efforts to cut spending and taxes in the budget especially pensions and healthcare for union employees.
Mrs. Silance Nogud
3:16 pm on Thursday, February 21, 2013
Yes, much easier to criticize then actually try to do something.
Maryann Campling
6:07 pm on Thursday, February 21, 2013
I'm disappointed, too, Joe T. But I suspect that Mr. Kelly will continue to be fact-finding, supporting and getting the word out on any issue that benefits all residents of Haddonfield. You two should get together and exchange ideas!
Brian Kelly
8:31 pm on Thursday, February 21, 2013
Joe has some sound ideas you might be hearing from a candidate in the near future.
Mrs. Silance, I thought it would be best not to enter the fray but if you insist..
In truth I thought it would be best to get out the facts and give the candidates a forum on Haddonfield United, while letting the residents post questions and comments to them.
If I ever ran ran for anything I would have to separate myself from the site. Believe me, when it comes to criticism I get it spades but since I get my voice out there it's only fair you should respond how you feel.
10:12 am on Friday, February 22, 2013
I believe Mr. Kelly is pretty good at remaining positive despite the knuckleheads lurking here and all over town. I don't recall him really every become particularly negative during the Bancroft deal, either. I would suspect it's tempting.
Mrs. Silance Nogud
11:56 am on Friday, February 22, 2013
A few of the positive comments:
"Also, despite the hundreds of thousands of dollars our elected officials have given to their special interest groups for surveys and independent consultations"
"Well, yeah, I guess if you put all that aside and go with the vision and leadership thing shown by a bunch of typical politicians who have tried to stack the deck in every way to ram this monster down our throats."
"Typical vague, no facts political answer by people who don't want you to know the facts and think you don't need to know the facts."
"These arrogant crooks are flaunting their power right in the face of every Haddonfield resident."
"You can believe one thing with these liars...the rate of taxes they projected for this project is total bull. The people involved in this project have been untrustworthy from day one. These people are stealing our hard earned money right out of our pockets."
"That's a bull*#&# answer from a man who knew it the second he said it."
"OneHaddonfield is wealthy PAC funded organization by the same people who have rocked this town and filled their pockets for years."
"These crooks are stealing money out of my back pocket."

1:38 pm on Friday, February 22, 2013
So, what is your point? That out of the thousands upon thousands of lines of comments Mr. Kelly made over the course of months or years, you are capable of taking a handful of comments out of context where he uses more pointed language?
Perhaps you prefer that on every issue we all act like lemmings and continue to drive this state deeper into the debt dump? Perhaps you prefer that more people with any get-up-and-go are leaving NJ than any of the other 49 states?
For those that want to stay and make a stand, I respect the fact that sometimes their language may become pointed (Christie being a good example of that early on), since the can't-we-all-get-along approach clearly did not work in this keeping this state on the proper course over the past several decades.
Mrs. Silance Nogud
4:05 pm on Friday, February 22, 2013
My point is my original point- Much easier to criticize, then actually try to do something.
Accusing people of corruption isn't especially negative? Although these are quotes from Brian, I do have to say that his comments have been more moderate than many of the participants on the "NO" side of the debate. However, his comments fueled the negative rhetoric which was often factually incorrect (Rhode Island leads the nation in population reduction by the way), and it will be increasingly harder to get anything positive, or anything at all, done in the future. I hope I'm wrong.
You reap what you sew. A lesson John Mcain and Rick Scott are finding out now that they have let the anti government tea-party genie out of the bottle. We'll see how this dynamic plays out in Haddonfield.
Adam R
5:44 pm on Friday, February 22, 2013
Mrs. Nogud,
I'm still trying to locate your positive comments and find out what you have done besides criticize.
Adam R
6:26 pm on Friday, February 22, 2013
Mrs. Nogud,
I checked your comment history and saw a lot of criticism and negativity. I'm not saying that's bad, but I think that Mr. Kelly worked hard for what he believed was best for our town and the people that live here. He brought to light our crumbling infrastructure and pointed out that some of our leaders were on a spending spree that would have increased our debt by many millions of dollars. Both sides presented their side of the issue, and even though the vote yes people had vastly more resources to get their message out, in the end, the people had their say with their vote. Mr. Kelly didn't trick the voters into voting no. He stated his honest opinion, and inspired our citizens to look more deeply at what the referendum was all about.

Snarky and sarcastic? Probably. Critical and negative? Maybe. Personal and slanderous? Never.
What crumbling infrastructure? Show me the buckets under the leaking roofs. Show me the report of mold.
I think there were a lot of other issues that got lumped under "Just say no!" And we missed a once in a lifetime opportunity. I guess the main mistake of the "Yes" group was taking the high road, and playing the politics of, "Can't we all get along?"
Honestly, a lot of the facts driving the emotion of the vote were wrong. The future of Radnor being the most obvious.

Silence Nogud: Rhode Island is tops in terms of population loss? See http://www.forbes.com/sites/kellyphillipserb/2013/02/09/comparing-lists-did-residents-flee-states-because-of-taxes/
Also, what does John McCain or the tea party have to do with any of this? The bond was defeated by local voters of many political/nonpolitical stripes. Are you next going to suggest that the communist party defeated the bond?
In terms of Mr. Kelly's comments, I look at his comments in the aggregate, and they were overwhelmingly positive. For someone who was constantly bombarded by specious, non-factual arguments and personal attacks, Mr. Kelly managed to keep his cool 99.9% of the time.
It's fine if you don't like the result of the bond referendum. If that's the case, come up with a better proposal and put it to a vote. But this sort of attack on the non-candidate after the fact smacks (again) of sour grapes.

Yes I don't see these remarks really as negative especially given the overall work the guy did.... of which many many people got behind. A majority I might add.
I also think many people feel pretty much the same. Were paying big bucks to live here and it's not always being spent well.... a few harsh words aren't really negative attacks. I'd have to say Kelly has been overall positive. There are a lot of sore feelings out there about this Bancroft deal, some of which shared among my friends. I have to admit it's hard to agree on one side or another... lets try to remember we are all neighbors. And Weiststen and Borden you can go jump off a bridge.

Additionally, my spouse and I contribute a significant amount of time and money serving, and leading, for several local organizations. The main reason I remain anonymous is that I don't want my opinions to enter into the dialog of the non-political groups that I lead.

Kisses's Info...
Breed: | Domestic Longhair | Color: | Gray, Blue Or Silver Tabby | Age: | Senior |
Sex: | Female | Hair: | Long |
I am already spayed, up to date with shots, not good with kids, good with dogs, and good with cats.
Kisses (formerly known as Mogwai) is an 8 year old petite long hair gray tabby over white female. She is very affectionate (she loves to give kitty kisses, hence her name) and sweet towards humans and used to defending herself against bully cats, so she would do best with other cats or dogs that either leave her alone or can stand up for themselves.
She loves to come and jump on the sofa at night and knead on you. She is quite, hardly ever meows. She is really easy going. She probably needs a home that has no children or at least older children. Kisses loves to play with toys. You get her some balls and stuffed mice and she acts like a kitten not a cat that is almost 9.
Kisses is very healthy for her age, but had to have her teeth removed due to bad gum disease. She is recovering well and very healthy now, and still loves her dry kibble which she eats whole. She is still a little skittish with loud noises. Kisses's best friend from her previous owners is Imari, a gorgeous long haired tortie/ Maine Coon looking 9 year old cat and we would love for them to find a home together- it's not a requirement to adopt both, but we are offering a special low adoption fee and are throwing in some cans of Friskies catfood if you take both.

Weeds zap valuable soil moisture from your plants. One of the best chemical-free ways to control weeds is with a layer of landscape fabric under your mulch. It's air- and water-permeable and easy to plant into--just use scissors or pruners to cut an X, pull back the fabric, and plant.

The vintage of 2009 began with a dry spring followed by a mild summer. By mid September the Zinfandel located at the highest and warmest part of the vineyard was ready and we began picking. Over the course of the following three weeks as the fruit slowly ripened, we picked our way down to the lowest part of the vineyard. The grapes were fermented in stainless steel, and then aged in 60% French and 40% American oak barrels for just over a year and a half.
The wild berry and spice flavors of this rich and elegant Zinfandel are a perfect complement to tomato sauce dishes, grilled fish and steak, and rich chocolate desserts.

In this day and age of advertising I think we take for granted how scantily clad women get for cars. I mean look at companies like Hot Import Nights. It's practically a given that women are going to be wearing next to nothing while modeling for our favorite cars and motorcycles. But it's not like they just appeared out of nowhere.
Yes, even in the 60s and 70s we saw women posing on top of cars and straddling motorcycles. We just don't realize these things because many of us weren't born yet. But pay our respects because before women were on stripping poles while modeling for a car, they were out in fields with long boots and too much clothing trying to look sexy on their modeled cars.
Check out the sexy vintage women of car ads after the jump
It might not see a see through bikini but I'm pretty sure that gets the message across don't you?
As does this in a much weirder way.

Armstrong Volleyball Cracks AVCA Top 25 Poll At No. 23
SAVANNAH, Ga. - Buoyed by its' perfect 8-0 start to the 2011 season, the Armstrong Atlantic State University volleyball squad has cracked the American Volleyball Coaches Association (AVCA) Division II Top 25 poll, entering at No. 23 with Monday's release of the rankings.
The Pirates are ranked nationally for the first time since 2005, when Armstrong was No. 21 in the preseason Top 25 poll to begin that year. This year, the Pirates have put together consecutive 4-0 weekends, finishing undefeated at the Pirate Volleyball Classic and the USC Aiken Pacer Invitational. The start for Armstrong is its best since 2004, when the Pirates went 10-0 en route to an NCAA Championships appearance.
For Armstrong head coach Will Condon, who is currently in his fourth season as the Pirates' head coach and 12th overall season as a collegiate head coach, this is the first time one of his teams has earned a national ranking.
"It is an honor to be recognized," Condon said. "But now comes the hard part. We definitely will not be sneaking up on anyone. It does not change the fact that we need to keep working hard to get better, but our players should be proud that their hard work is being noted."
In this week's national poll, Armstrong received 96 votes, one of three teams to join the rankings this week. North Alabama also moved into the rankings at No. 21 - sporting a 7-0 record, the Lions will meet the Pirates this Friday in the 2011 Pirate South/Southeast Challenge at 7:00 p.m. in Savannah.
Also in the field for the Challenge will be No. 24-ranked Rollins; the two teams will meet on Saturday at 1:00 p.m.
Concordia-St. Paul maintains the top spot in the poll, followed by Tampa, Cal State San Bernardino, Washburn and Nebraska-Kearney. Fellow Southeast Region school Wingate checks in at No. 19. You can view the complete poll from the AVCA's web site here.
Armstrong is the only Peach Belt Conference school to appear in the rankings this week, and the Pirates are the first PBC school to make the poll since Flagler was ranked No. 22 in the Sept. 6, 2010 poll.
The Pirates will put their new national ranking to the test on Tuesday, visiting Queens University of Charlotte for a 6:30 p.m. matchup in Charlotte, N.C., in advance of this weekend's South/Southeast Challenge.

The city of Chilliwack comes alive as its gardens blossom and bloom throughout the seasons. Wander elegant landscapes, take in a variety of flowers or be inspired at a garden centre.
Minter Gardens is considered the crown jewel among Chilliwack's gardens and city parks. Located near Exit 135 off the Trans-Canada Highway, these privately operated, 13ha/32ac show gardens are sometimes compared to the world-famous Butchart Gardens in Victoria. Created by passionate gardener Brian Minter, Minter Gardens opened in 1980 and attracts more than 100,000 visitors a year.
Against the backdrop of 2,130m/7,000ft Mt. Cheam, wander through Minter Gardens to discover 12 different themed gardens, including an enormous rose garden (there are more than 750 rose plants at Minter Gardens), a lake garden, scent garden, children's garden, arbour garden, and formal garden.
Read More
Azaleas and rhododendrons flourish in spring, while late-blooming perennials delight in September and October.
The landscaping frequently and elegantly incorporates water features, from a pond beneath Japanese maple trees to the big Water Wall at the end of the Arbour Walk, with water tumbling from an aqueduct with classical columns.
Minter Gardens is open daily between April and mid-October.
A sumptuous buffet lunch is served at Minter Gardens' Trillium Restaurant in high season, and casual fare is available at the Garden Café in the Envision Conservatory. Minter Gardens is a popular venue for weddings, garden parties, and other events.
The nearby Minter Country Garden Centre (10015 Young Rd) sells a huge array of specialty garden products on a site featuring a nature park and huge greenhouses.

A Great Speech at Baylor
As many of you know, I was mentored as a professor by former interim President Bill Underwood, who has gone on to do wonderful things at Mercer University as President. Bill is beloved there now, and has built a faith identity for that school that is consistent with a modern era and the history of that school. He's also one of the people I admire most in the world.
On the first full day he was interim, Bill gave a wonderful address to the members of the Baylor community, along with his provost (and another of my mentors, heroes, and friends), Randall O'Brien. Though the video linked below does not show it well, the end of that speech was startling and wonderful. Bill simply walked out the back doors as people applauded. As he opened the doors, the bright Texas sun streamed into dark Waco Hall like a brilliant sunrise, and the metaphor could not be missed. It was a day few who were there will forget.
As we prepare for another distinguished lawyer to greet the community today as President of Baylor, it might be a good time to recall what Bill and Randall said back in 2005. You can view the video (in several formats) here, and I hope that you will. (I give a short intro of Randall at the beginning-- the good stuff is after that).

Underwood is a better public speaker than most. Certainly better than Lilly. What made this speech memorable was the content as opposed to how it was delivered. He aired and recognized many of Baylor's problems in a straightforward manner,and then attempted to forge consensus. It certainly wasn't an O'Brien kumbayah session.
I was there. It was great. Then again, Underwood's integrity and vision would have elevated even a mediocre speech. From all accounts, he's doing a brilliant job at his current position.

All University housing officially closes during the Thanksgiving, winter, and spring break vacation periods. All students must leave the buildings during those periods and will not have access to the building during these periods.
The Housing License Agreement does not cover vacation periods; therefore, students must request, in advance, permission to reside in University housing during these periods. Failure to submit a request by the deadline may result in the denial of the request and/ or a late charge. Food service may not be available during vacation periods. It is possible that vacation housing may be available in a specific building and that students may need to relocate. Vacation closing dates are listed in the Housing License Agreement.
Residents may be charged $100 if they are found in the housing areas after the designated closing time of the building. Residents will also be escorted out of the residence hall or instructed to wait in the lobby until their transportation arrives.

MEM Eagle w/o L-Arginine, L-Glutamine (Powder)
Cell Culture Grade
Storage RT Shipping RT
Components shown as mg/liter
Minimum Essential Medium (MEM), developed by Harry Eagle, is one of the most widely used of all synthetic cell culture media. Early attempts to cultivate normal mammalian fibroblasts and certain subtypes of HeLa cells revealed that they had specific nutritional requirements that could not be met by Eagle's Basal Medium (BME). Subsequent studies using these and other cells in culture indicated that additions to BME could be made to aid growth of a wider variety of fastidious cells. MEM, which incorporates these modifications, includes higher concentrations of amino acids so that the medium more closely approximates the protein composition of mammalian cells. MEM has been used for cultivation of a wide variety of cells grown in monolayers. Optional supplementation of non-essential amino acids to the formulations that incorporate either Hanks' or Eagles' salts has broadened the usefulness of this medium. Directions per Liter Dissolve 9.2 grams per liter of distilled/deionized (DDI) water (final manufacturing formulation for 10X), heating with stirring until completely solubilized, adjusting pH as necessary. If required, add 2g/liter sodium bicarbonate with stirring. Sterilize with 0.2um membrane filter. Aliquot into sterile containers. Do not autoclave since heat-labile components will lose their activity. Storage:Store powdered media at RT. Opened bottles should be capped tightly and kept in a dark, low humidity environment. Prepared media should be kept at 4°C and used within a short period of time.

New Delhi । Dentist couple Rajesh and Nupur Talwar were charged with murder of their teenaged daughter Aarushi and their domestic help, Hemraj, by a local court which said trial in the four-year-old case will commence on 4th June.
Additional District Judge S Lal on Friday also slapped another charge of misleading the investigation against Rajesh who had filed an FIR with Noida police alleging that Hemraj had killed his daughter in their Jalvayu Vihar residence on the intervening night of May 15-16, 2008. The body of Hemraj was found on the terrace of their home on 17th May.
Talwars' lawyers on Friday moved an application seeking certified copy of the court order and at least 15 days time for commencement of trial so that they can prepare their case.
The court, however, granted only nine days and fixed 4th June as the date of starting the trial.
Manoj Sisodia, representing Talwars, told reporters that once they get a certified copy of the order, they may appeal against the charges framed by the court in the higher court. Rajesh and Nupur came to the court in the morning but waited till afternoon for the framing of charges.
Post-lunch when the court reconvened, the couple was asked to stand in the accused box and sign the charge sheet presented to them by the court officials.
"According to the procedure, the judge asked them whether their plead guilty or not to which both Rajesh and Nupur Talwar said that they would face the trial," Sisodia said.
Once the trial starts, CBI's lawyers would start examination of evidence to corroborate allegations levelled against the Talwar couple.
The agency has presented a list of 141 evidences which includes some key witnesses like Talwars' erstwhile maid Bharti who was among the first to see the body of Aarushi among others.
After the CBI completes its examination, defence would start the cross examination process.
In his order, the judge had held there is enough prima- facie evidence to start trial against accused Rajesh and Nupur under charges of Section 302 read with Section 34 (murder with common intention) of Indian Penal Code and Section 201 read with Section 34 (destruction of evidence with common intention) of the IPC.
The judge mentioned prosecution's argument that there was enough circumstantial evidence to suggest that Rajesh and Nupur should be charged for murder and destruction of evidence with common intention and Rajesh for additional charges of misleading the investigation.
He cited defence arguments which said the case was based merely on circumstantial evidence and all vital links of the chain of evidence do not connect completly.
In its order, the court also mentioned CBI's claims that the wounds on the neck of Hemraj and Aarushi were caused by surgical equipment which could have been a work of trained professionals like Rajesh and Nupur.
The defence had rejected the theory saying these wounds could have been caused by a sharp weapon like 'Khukri' which was common among Nepali citizens.
Nupur is in judicial custody since 30th April while father Rajesh is on bail.

Colorado mass shooting suspect facing 142 charges
James Eagan Holmes silent during 2nd Denver-area court appearance
The Associated Press
Posted: Jul 30, 2012 5:24 AM ET
Last Updated: Jul 30, 2012 4:41 PM ET
James Holmes appeared just as dazed as he did in his first court appearance last week after the deadly Colorado movie theatre shootings.
In a packed Denver-area courtroom Monday, Holmes, 24, sat silently and did not react as he heard formal charges against him, including first-degree murder and attempted murder, in one of the deadliest mass shootings in recent U.S. history.
In all, prosecutors charged Holmes with 142 counts in the shooting rampage at a midnight showing of the new Batman movie.
At one point, a shackled Holmes, still with his hair dyed orange-red, leaned over to speak with one of his lawyers and furrowed his brow.

Paulina was one of 58 people injured in the shooting. (Alex Brandon/Associated Press)When the judge asked the former neuroscience student if he agreed with his attorney's request to delay a future court hearing so his defence team could have more time to prepare, Holmes said softly: "Yeah."
Some of the people in the court wore Batman T-shirts. Several people clasped their hands and bowed their heads as if in prayer before the hearing. At least one victim attended, and she was in a wheelchair and had bandages on her leg and arm. One unidentified man glared at Holmes throughout the hearing.
Holmes was charged with 24 counts of murder, two each for the 12 victims, and 116 counts of attempted murder, two each for the 58 injured.
For the murder charges, one count included murder with deliberation, the other murder with extreme indifference. Both counts carry a maximum death penalty upon conviction; the minimum is life without parole.
A conviction under extreme indifference means that any life sentences would have to be served consecutively, not concurrently, said Craig Silverman, a former chief deputy district attorney in Denver.
Defence expected to centre on sanity
In addition, Holmes was charged with one count of possession of explosives and one count of a crime of violence.
The multiple charges expand the opportunities for prosecutors to obtain convictions.
"It's a much easier way for the prosecution to obtain a conviction," said Denver defence attorney Peter Hedeen. "They throw as many [charges] up as they can. If you think you can prove it three different ways, you charge it three different ways."
Legal analysts expect the case to be dominated by arguments over the defendant's sanity.
Attorneys also argued over a defence motion to find out who leaked information to the news media about a package the 24-year-old Holmes allegedly sent to his psychiatrist at the University of Colorado Denver.
Authorities seized the package July 23, three days after the shooting, after finding it in the mailroom of the medical campus where Holmes studied.
Several media outlets reported that it contained a notebook with descriptions of an attack, but Arapahoe County District Attorney Carol Chambers said in court papers that the parcel hadn't been opened by the time the "inaccurate" news reports appeared.
Defence lawyer Tamara Brady said Monday she will subpoena psychiatrist Lynne Fenton to testify in the dispute over whether a notebook is privileged because of a possible doctor-patient relationship. A hearing on the matter was set for Aug. 16.
District Chief Judge William Sylvester set an Aug. 9 hearing on a motion filed by news organizations seeking to have the case docket unsealed.
A hearing to update the status of the case was set for Sept. 27. A hearing to review evidence matters and to determine whether Holmes should continue to be held without bail was set for the week of Nov. 9.
Cameras barred from hearing
Unlike Holmes' first court appearance July 23, Monday's hearing was not televised. At the request of the defence, District Chief Judge William Sylvester barred video and still cameras from the hearing, saying expanded coverage could interfere with Holmes' right to a fair trial.
Last week, Sylvester allowed a live video feed that permitted the world its first glimpse of the shooting suspect. With an unruly mop of orange hair, Holmes appeared bleary-eyed and distracted. He did not speak.
Mike Campbell, from Aurora, Colo., looks at the memorial across from the Century 16 theatre where 12 people were killed and more than 50 wounded in a shooting attack on July 20. (Alex Brandon/Associated Press)Security was tight for Monday's hearing. Armed officers were stationed on the roof of both buildings at the court complex, and law enforcement vehicles blocked entrances to the buildings.
Investigators said Holmes began stockpiling gear for his assault four months ago and bought his weapons in May and June, well before the shooting spree just after midnight during a showing of the Batman film The Dark Knight Rises. He was arrested by police outside the theatre.
Analysts said that means it's likely there's only one main point of legal dispute between prosecutors and the defence.
'Only possible defence is insanity'
"I don't think it's too hard to predict the path of this proceeding," said Silverman. "This is not a whodunit... The only possible defence is insanity."
Under Colorado law, defendants are not legally liable for their acts if their minds are so "diseased" that they cannot distinguish between right and wrong. However, the law warns that "care should be taken not to confuse such mental disease or defect with moral obliquity, mental depravity, or passion growing out of anger, revenge, hatred, or other motives, and kindred evil conditions."
Experts said there are two levels of insanity defences.
Holmes' public defenders could argue he is not mentally competent to stand trial, which is the argument by lawyers for Jared Loughner, who is accused of killing six people in 2011 in Tucson, Ariz., and wounding several others, including Rep. Gabrielle Giffords. Loughner, who has pleaded not guilty to 49 charges, has been diagnosed with schizophrenia and is undergoing treatment at a Missouri prison facility in a bid to make him mentally fit to stand trial.
If Holmes' attorneys cannot convince the court that he is mentally incompetent, and he is convicted, they can try to stave off a possible death penalty by arguing he is mentally ill. Prosecutors will decide whether to seek the death penalty in the coming weeks.
Holmes was seeing psychiatrist
Sam Kamin, a law professor at the University of Denver, said there is "pronounced" evidence that the attack was premeditated, which would seem to make an insanity defence difficult. "But," he said, "the things that we don't know are what this case is going to hinge on, and that's his mental state."
Friends in Southern California, where Holmes grew up, describe him as a smart, sometimes awkward youth fascinated by science. He came to Colorado's competitive neuroscience doctoral program in June 2011. A year later, he dropped out shortly after taking his year-end exam.
Sylvester has tried to tightly control the flow of information about Holmes, placing a gag order on lawyers and law enforcement, sealing the court file and barring the university from releasing public records relating to Holmes' year there. A consortium of media organizations, including The Associated Press, is challenging Sylvester's sealing of the court file.
On Friday, court papers revealed that Holmes was seeing a psychiatrist at the university. But they did not say how long he was seeing Dr. Lynne Fenton and if it was for a mental illness or another problem.
The University of Colorado's website identified Fenton as the medical director of the school's Student Mental Health Services. An online resume listed schizophrenia as one of her research interests and stated that she sees 10 to 15 graduate students a week for medication and psychotherapy, as well as five to 10 patients in her general practice as a psychiatrist.
Authorities said Holmes legally purchased four guns before the attack at Denver-area sporting goods stores — a semi-automatic rifle, a shotgun and two pistols. To buy the guns, Holmes had to pass background checks that can take as little as 20 minutes in Colorado.
One development over the weekend brought more grief. A woman who was critically wounded and whose six-year-old daughter was killed suffered a miscarriage because of the trauma, her family said Saturday. Ashley Moser's daughter, Veronica Moser-Sullivan, was the youngest person killed in the attack.
Chambers' office announced Monday that Lisa Teesch-Maguire, a former legal director of the Rocky Mountain Victim Law Center, had been appointed a victims' rights advocate in the case.

Our fitness expert Justin Rundle says: Warm up or risk injury | Health
Title (Max 100 Characters)
So you're getting a little older, the cracks are getting louder when you get up from the chair and kick starting the engine that is your body might take a hair bit longer these days. That's where our fitness expert Justin Rundle comes in. I caught up with Justin to talk about the importance of warming up.
Warming up is often overlooked by people especially if you're younger. But warming up properly is important no matter what your age.
Warming Up, What's That?
I often see too many athletes and exercise enthusiasts jump into their weight training regimens cold. Cold muscle fiber is far less elastic and more susceptible to injury. To reduce potential injuries and to perform your workout at the most optimal level, increase the temperature of your muscle fiber.
Warm muscle fiber contracts more forcefully, but relaxes quicker than when cold. Also, warming up improves circulation which in turn provides more oxygen to your muscle fiber, increases range of motion and turns on your natural heat dissipation mechanism (sweating) to provide a natural cooling off when pushing yourself to new levels. This should be done with movement, not static stretching.
Progressively walk, light jog, bike, row, or use the elliptical machines for five to ten minutes. Then do our core specific, dynamic warm up routine found at (www.jrunfitpro.com or Facebook Rundle Performance Training). Now that you are sweating, you are ready for your weight-training program.
Check out our site and our Rundle Performance Training Facebook page for regularly updated workout, nutrition, motivation and Q and A videos. Always feel free to ask questions. When in doubt, eat clean and keep moving!

Yea, that kind of bugged me to but from the outside they seemed very respectable and trustable. Her and her husband also showed horses, and you could find many records of champion show dogs from them as well, they also only worked with Cardigan Welsh Corgi. Like I said, they also had many good reviews and references and I had not seen one bad thing about them. The other people that got the puppies from the same little seem to also be satisfied with the process and the puppy so I don't know. I just wouldn't suggest them to anyone from the information I found. I really would of gone with anyone within 500 miles but after 4 months of searching I couldn't find anyone.
I work Tuesday-Saturday from 11pm to 7am. I normally sleep from 10am-6pm so any time between that is good. Only thing I can think we would have to worry about is the temperature outside.
Hey Alice, You should send some full-face hi-res photos of Finnigan to Doug Klassen (Gromit and Doug) -- http://www.mycorgi.com/profile/DougKlassen -- and ask him to switch the blue and brown eyes, then animate it so they alternate back-and-forth like a railroad crossing signal. It's really easy to switch the eyes in PhotoShop -- I could do that -- but I don't know how to animate it. A serious-looking portrait like #21, 24 or 25; if it looked normal for awhile, then switched the eyes back-and-forth quickly just a coupla times, it would leave people gasping for air. He seems pretty good with this stuff, maybe he could have it ready by April Fools' Day.
I was gonna do it with that lovely professional portrait you sent me of Demi (Cornerstone Cardigans), but I don't know how to animate. Somebody's got to do this. :-)

October 21 - December 12, 2010Exhibition Brochure
Csontváry was an artist of the turn of the century. The richness and complexity in his works cannot be characterised on the basis of stylistic categories. Realistic observation, emphasis on the changing light, the decorative, orgiastic use of colour characteristic of Post-Impressionism, the large-scale handling of form and the strong diffraction of the colours often appear simultaneously on the same canvas.
The exhibition invited us to discover the works of this extraordinary Hungarian artist, who wrote poetry with paintings that reflect his vision beyond the currents of the period, his unique colors, his symbolic narrative, and the "divine voice" he claims to have heard.
Biography"As a schoolboy I hated memorizing by heart; I looked at the Bible as a tale, and I rather longed to be outside in nature to listen to the warbling of the nightingale, to gaze at a flower here and there, where the polliniferous petals were busy with whole swarms of butterflies, bees, bumblebees and insects."Mihály Tivadar Csontváry was born in Kisszeben on 5 July 1853. He had five siblings; hunting was one of his father's passions. As a child, Csontváry excelled in games, hunting, and skating and was an equally poor student. Consequently, his father took Csontváry to Eperjes, where he worked as a salesman for more than three years. Next, he studied chemistry and became a pharmacist. Following the catastrophe of the Szeged flood in 1863 and a subsequent period of rest, Csontváry found himself drawing an ox-cart on a prescription in front of the pharmacy in Igló. Having run a considerably profitable pharmacy for nearly a decade, Csontváry decided, in 1894, to pursue his dream at the age of 41 and travelled to Munich and Karlsruhe and from there on to Italy and the Dalmatian coast. He was first enrolled at the Academy of Düsseldorf and later at Académie Julian in Paris. Abandoning academic training shortly thereafter, Csontváry headed for Pompeii and embarked upon an extended tour of the Italian coast. Next, he discovered Europe, Egypt, and Jerusalem. In the course of his travels, he stopped by in İstanbul in 1913. He died in 1919 as the loneliest and most extraordinary artist of Hungary.

Morgan Stanley has focused on the work it has done to improve its capital, funding, and liquidity positions over the last few years, and highlighted the fact that clients are less reliant on rating agencies, choosing instead to do their own credit work.
"We continue to expect MS will face the full three-notch downgrade, but recent comments from CEO James Gorman that this outcome would be "stunning" suggests that senior management believes it has made a convincing argument to Moody's that the proposed downgrade is not warranted," UBS analyst Brennan Hawken wrote in a note to clients.
Hawken added that the downgrade is largely priced in to the stock, which could result in significant upside if the result is less severe than feared.
Meanwhile, the primary segment the company expects to be impacted by the downgrade is in long- dated, un-collateralized interest rate derivatives, a business which it has already de-emphasized.
In addition, the company said rates and forex have grown in recent years to roughly 55 percent of its revenue from fixed income currencies and commodities (FICC) unit. Rates are a larger business for Morgan Stanley than forex, and the former is estimated to account for about a third of Morgan Stanley's total FICC business. The unit's first quarter revenue rose 33 percent to $2.6 billion, excluding debt valuation adjustments.
"We estimate that about 40% of MS's FICC derivatives have a maturity greater than 3 years, but it is our sense that contracts in the rates business tend to be shorter duration than the overall derivatives book," Hawken added.
Therefore, if a third of rates contracts are long dated, this would mean roughly 10-12 percent of total FICC revenues would be at risk, using relatively conservative estimates. If half of these revenues are lost, it represents about 5 percent of FICC revenue.
