How to Delete Yahoo Email
Three Methods:Deleting Individual EmailsDeleting Groups of EmailsDeleting your Yahoo Email AccountCommunity Q&A
Yahoo provides an email service that allows customers to send and receive emails for free, as well as upgrades and premium services that can be bought. Sometimes, your email inbox can get overwhelmed with messages that you do not need or even plan to read. You can delete Yahoo email messages individually or in a block. Delete Yahoo email by deciding which messages you do not want and sending them into your digital trash.
Deleting Individual Emails
1Delete an email after you read it. You might read an email and decide you do not need to keep it or respond to it.
- Open the email on your screen.
- Click on the "delete" button at the top of the page. The message will disappear and bring you to your next email.
2Delete the message before you read it. If you do not want to even open an email message, you can delete it right from your inbox.
- Click the square box next to the email title or sender's name. You will see a check mark.
- Click the "delete" button at the top of the screen. The email will disappear
3Delete individual emails from your mobile phone or tablet the same way. When you call your Yahoo email up on the screen, you can swipe the individual email to delete it before you read it, or hit the trash button on your screen after you read the email.
Deleting Groups of Emails
1Open your Yahoo Inbox. You will see a list of all the email you have in your inbox.
2Click on the squares on each of the lines that identify the emails you want to delete. Depending on how you have your inbox set up, those squares will be next to the sender's name or the subject of the email.
3Look at the far right side of the screen and you will see shaded images of trash cans on each line of email you have selected to delete. Make sure these are the emails you really want to send to the trash.
4Click the "delete" button at the top of the page. These emails have been sent to your trash.
5Delete groups of email on your mobile phone or tablet by highlighting or selecting all of the emails you want to delete in your Yahoo inbox. Click on the "delete" command or the trash icon.
Deleting your Yahoo Email Account
1Open your Yahoo email and click on the Account Info tab.

The story of the most dominant racehorse of all time does not easily fit into the standard inspirational sports flick mold. Such films typically require its protagonists to overcome seemingly insurmountable obstacles, be they competitive (Hoosiers), personal (The Natural), societal (Ali), or some combination of all three (Remember the Titans). But by all accounts, the greatest challenges to Secretariat capturing of the 1973 Triple Crown were not rival horses indeed, Secretariat had no true rival but a pair of slow starts and an abscess. And abscesses apologies to dermatologists simply aren't all that effective as dramatic devices.
Lacking most of the vital ingredients of the traditional underdog movie formula, Disney's Secretariat is forced to synthesize them. Its screenplay, written by Mike Rich and based rather loosely on the book Secretariat: The Making of a Champion by William Nack, adopts a conventional save-the-farm framework: When her parents pass away within months of each other, Denver housewife Penny Tweedy (Diane Lane) is advised to sell off her family's Virginia-based Meadow Stables, a beautiful but unprofitable horse-breeding enterprise, in order to pay the onerous inheritance taxes levied by the state. But Penny, her deceased father's hackneyed horse-inspired counsel fresh in her mind ("You've got to run your own race," etc. etc.) is loath to depart with such a cherished heirloom. So she concocts a scheme just idiotic enough to work, betting the farm literally that her new horse, Big Red, in whom she has an almost Messianic faith, will win the Kentucky Derby, Preakness, and Belmont races in succession.
Of course Big Red, under the stage name Secretariat, goes on to do just that, but only after the film subjects us to nearly two hours of manufactured melodrama. Lane, grasping all-too conspicuously for awards consideration, treats every line as if it were the St. Crispin's Day speech. Her character, Penny, exhibits a hair-trigger sensitivity to the sounds of skeptics and naysayers, bursting forth with a polite rebuke and a stern sermon for anyone who dares doubt her crusade, from the trash-talking owner of a rival horse to her annoyingly pragmatic husband (Dylan Walsh).
Lane isn't alone in her grandiosity. The entire production reeks of it, as director Randall Wallace lines the story with fetid chunks of overwrought Oscar bait, like so many droppings in an untended stable, even using Old Testament quotations and gospel music to endow Penny's quest with biblical significance. John Malkovich is kind enough to inject some mirth into the heavy-handed proceedings, hamming it up as Secretariat's trainer, Lucien Laurin, a French-Canadian curmudgeon with an odd sartorial palette. It's not enough, however, to alleviate the discomfort of witnessing the film's quasi-Sambo depiction of Secretariat's famed groom, Eddie Sweat (Nelsan Ellis), which reaches its cringeworthy zenith when Sweat runs out to the track on the eve of the Belmont Stakes and exclaims, to no one in particular, that "Big Red done eat his breakfast this mornin'!!!" Bagger Vance would be proud. Whether or not Ellis' portrayal of Sweat's cadence and mannerisms is accurate (and for all I know it may well be), the character is too thinly drawn to register as anything more than an amiable, simple-minded servant.
Animal lovers will be happy to know that the horses in Secretariat come off looking far better than their human counterparts, and not just because they're alloted the best dialogue. In the training and racing sequences, Wallace effectively conveys the strength and majesty of the fearsome animals, drawing us into the action and creating a strong element of suspense, even though the final result is a fait accompli. It's too bad the rest of the film never makes it out of the gate.

No worker should ever have to take of their safety glasses because of fogging. That's why Defog It is formulated to prevent fog in the toughest environments
Valley View, OH (PRWEB) February 07, 2012
At San Juan Construction, a general contractor with projects throughout the U.S. and around the globe, the company motto is, "Safety first, people always." Safety glasses on the job are standard, and now Defog It anti fog has been added to the safety gear after on-the-jobsite testing at a North Carolina project.
Heat and humidity, changing temperatures, and cold can trigger fogged eyewear. In a construction workplace, perspiration from exertion can also be a factor. "Heat and humidity are usually the problem," says Josh Hollingshead, the Project Cost Controller on the San Juan North Carolina job. "In the summer it'll get up to 100% humidity sometimes."
San Juan had tried other anti fog products with limited success, so it was decided to test Defog It in a real-world working situation. A field test was arranged with Defog It supplying samples for the crew. The results proved positive, resulting in purchase. "I received word this morning that the [Defog It anti fog] wipes came in, and everyone is using them," he reported in an email the day his first shipment arrived. "And they really work great. I just thought I would pass on the reviews from the field and thanks for a great product."
"No worker should ever have to take of their safety glasses because of fogging," says John Swett, Vice President of Sales and Marketing for Defog It by Nanofilm. "That's why Defog It is formulated to prevent fog in the toughest environments."
Defog It is the safety choice in some of the harshest workplace environments, including mining, utilities, pulp and paper, steel and law enforcement. Case studies are available at the Defog It website, http://www.defogitworks.com, along with research and whitepapers on preventing eye injuries, demonstration videos and product information.
First used by the military worldwide, Defog It anti fog is proven in the toughest workplace environments where heat, cold, humidity and exertion cause fogged safety eyewear. Defog It is available as a liquid or reusable cloths and is safe and effective on safety glasses, goggles and faceshields.
Lab tests confirm the Defog It's high performance. In one test, a lens treated with Defog It was held over constant hot steam for 60 minutes without fog forming. Similar products failed in as little as 5 minutes. In another test, lenses coated with Clarity Defog It were moved between cold and hot environments 100 times without fog forming.
Nanofilm (http://www.nanofilmproducts.com), founded in 1985, is the maker of Clarity Defog It and a global optical leader in lens care and coatings. Millions of people around the world use Nanofilm products, including Clarity Clean It™, Clarity Defog It™ and other lens care products, as well as nanotechnology-enabled coatings.

As HIV meds mature, Gilead preps for HCV launch
Gilead saw a 15% hike in third-quarter revenue compared to the year-ago period, to $2.8 billion, the company reported. The Foster City, CA, biotech also noted in a conference call that it would add 150 reps in the US in preparation for the launch of hepatitis C drug sofosbuvir.
Gilead's sales were boosted by the antiviral franchise, particularly Stribild, or the "quad pill," whose sales have matured after launching in August 2012. The HIV treatment generated $143 million in sales, compared to $17 million in the same three month-period a year ago. Antiviral Complera/Eviplera also saw strong sales, with a 112% jump to $210 million, compared to $99 million a year ago. Antiviral products on the whole saw a 14% increase from last year's third quarter.
As the company gears up to launch HCV drug sofosbuvir, SG&A expenses rose by 27%, from $319 million in Q3 2012 to $407 million in the most recent quarter. The drug recently garnered a unanimous vote in favor of approval for patients with various genotypes of the disease, many of whom are being warehoused until approval.
Gilead declined to share an updated figure for the number of HCV patients who are diagnosed and under care from a specialist. ISI Group analyst Mark Schoenebaum, in an investor note yesterday, recalled that an earlier Gilead estimate had put the figure at 350,000. The analyst added that Gilead had lowered its estimate of HCV patients in the big five EU countries down by about a million patients, but had raised its US estimate by a million.


text: 30 April 2010A blogger has examined a few recent claims that Hollywood filmmakers are turning their backs on cosmetic surgery, revealing that enhanced looks are still as popular as they ever were in the entertainment world.There have been a couple of people suggesting that Hollywood is favouring a natural look for its stars in the last little while - but as Colin Stewart of The Orange County Register points out, that doesn't mean women with natural-looking boob jobs will find themselves discriminated. Indeed, New York Times reporter Stephanie Diani admitted that the supposed trends she had identified only applied to "small but significant numbers" of filmmakers. Colin Stewart explained: "Many Hollywood executives, like many men, find breast implants attractive. But they�d prefer not to know that�s what they�re looking at. "Young actresses are supposed to look perfect, of course, and now they�re supposed to look as though they did nothing to achieve that perfection." Stewart pointed out that celebrities only tend to face criticism when they choose plastic surgery that does not appear natural for their figures. "No one complains about the nose job that Angelina Jolie got long ago," he explained. "Formerly flat-chested Kate Hudson draws little flak for her decision to get what look like moderate-sized breast implants." Conversely, it also seems that big is still beautiful, with famously-enhanced celebrity Pamela Anderson landing a role on Dancing With the Stars. Now that the awards season is over and with a few months to get in shape for the bikini season, many celebrities are expected to choose cosmetic surgery this spring to achieve a natural result for their beach bodies.

Overcoming Writer's Block
Screensavers and Facebook.
Believe it or not, they go together quite nicely, do Facebook and your screensaver.
We read down our Facebook page to see what our friends have Shared, and we click to see it at a larger size, and read the comments made back at its original home. Maybe we even Share it to another friend's page
And if we like it, we right-mouse click and Save Image. Maybe we even keep all of them in a folder.
Well, I have been trawling all my Facebook friends' pages and using Save Image
on every pic I like.
I save them into a particular file folder.
And now I've changed my computer's screensaver to Photos from that particular file folder only,
and set it to change the pictures slowly (as some have a lot of reading to be done to get the best of the message).
If I'm sitting at the computer feeling glum, I can leave it to show me all the happy thoughts and motivators,
things to make me smile or even laugh out loud.
And on a good day suddenly I'll be back into the mood to fire up the muse and get back to the writing.

Born on January 29, 1985 in Melbourne, Australia, Isabel Lucas is an Australian actress best known for her role in "Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen."
Isabel is a mix of Swiss and Australian ancestry. She speaks three languages: German, French and English. Isabel was raised in both Switzerland and Australia and grew up with a lot of animals, including birds, guinea pigs, horses, dogs and cats. Since the age of 10, she has been a horse rider and competed in dressage and show jumping.
In Cairns, she attended St. Monica's High School, and then enrolled at the Victoria College of Arts.
Isabel Lucas was discovered at a flea market in Cairns, Australia. In 2003, at age 18, she landed on the Aussie soap opera "Home and Away." She said, "I keep asking myself, 'why am I so special?' I don't understand why I'm so blessed to be in this position." Having made a name for herself, she moved to Los Angeles in 2008. Isabel said she didn't decide to become an actress; she just said yes to opportunities that came her way.
Isabel is a vegan and an environmental activist. She worked as a community volunteer in Namibia for two months; in 2007, she joined Hayden Panettiere to protest dolphin hunting; and in 2010 she hiked Mount Kilimanjaro to raise awareness about the global clean water crisis (interviewmagazine.com).

Illinois became the second state to settle with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission over charges it misled investors about a growing shortfall in its employee pension funds as it sold $2.2 billion in bonds.
From 2005 to 2009, Illinois failed to disclose the degree of underfunding for the plans, the SEC said yesterday. The state didn't adequately disclose cuts in its annual payments to buoy the funds, according to the SEC. Its pension debts swelled as the state borrowed and used accounting techniques that delayed for years steps to shore up the financing, the agency said.
The SEC has been cracking down on faulty disclosure by state and local governments that borrow in the $3.7 trillion municipal-bond market. It settled a similar case with New Jersey in 2010, the first time the regulator targeted a state.
"Municipal investors are no less entitled to truthful risk disclosures than other investors," George S. Canellos, acting director of the SEC's Enforcement Division, said in a statement. "Time after time, Illinois failed to inform its bond investors about the risk to its financial condition posed by the structural underfunding of its pension system."
The state neither admitted nor denied the SEC's findings in the settlement, which didn't include any fines or penalties, according to a statement from Democratic Governor Pat Quinn's budget office.
Hopeless Hole
The SEC said that a consultant to the governor's office in August 2009 wrote that the pension system was so underfunded that the state probably would never reach 90 percent funding. Ensuring that the funds had enough assets to cover 90 percent of promised benefits by 2045 was a goal of a 1995 plan that led to years of underfunding, which the SEC says wasn't mentioned in bond-sale documents.
"The state knew that the plan was unmanageable, but failed to disclose the significant risks to those who bought its bonds," Elaine Greenberg, the Philadelphia-based head of the SEC's municipal and pension enforcement unit, said in an interview. "We hope that our heightened scrutiny of pension disclosure will continue to serve as a warning to other state and municipal issuers."
Biggest Deficit
Illinois, which according to data compiled by Bloomberg has the most underfunded public pensions of all U.S. states, is among governments nationwide confronting growing retiree burdens since the 2007 financial crisis and market collapse, which saddled the systems with losses. States and localities have more than $2 trillion in unfunded public-employee retirement obligations, Moody's Investors Service said in a July report.
Along with the probe of New Jersey in 2010, the SEC in 2008 accused San Diego officials of failing to disclose key policies contributing to its pension-fund shortfalls.
"It goes back to an era, which wasn't that long ago, where there just wasn't as much attention placed on pension obligations," said Howard Cure, director of municipal research at Evercore Wealth Management LLC, which oversees $4.5 billion. "You're not talking about small, infrequent issuers. These are major issuers, names like New Jersey, San Diego and Illinois."
Standard & Poor's lowered its credit rating for Illinois on Jan. 25 to A-, six steps below AAA, after lawmakers were unable to produce a plan to shore up the pensions, which have just 39 percent of assets needed to cover projected obligations. It's the lowest-rated U.S. state.
Scuttled Sale
Illinois, the nation's fifth-most-populous state with about 13 million residents, delayed a $500 million general-obligation bond sale five days after the S&P cut.
A taxable Illinois pension-obligation bond sold in 2003 and maturing in 2033 traded today at an average yield of 5.23 percent, the lowest since March 7, according to data compiled by Bloomberg.
Laurence Msall, president of the Chicago-based Civic Federation, a nonprofit group that tracks government finance, said that inaction on changing the pensions was "of greater concern" than the SEC claims. "The legislature has yet to take up pension reform in a very significant way and almost $100 billion in unfunded liability is swallowing the state budget," Msall said.
Steve Brown, a spokesman for Speaker Michael Madigan in the House of Representatives, said the Chicago Democrat would have no comment on the settlement.
Stretched Timeframe
The SEC case centers on a 1995 plan that gave Illinois half a century to provide enough money to the pensions to pay for 90 percent of promised benefits.
The state slipped deeper into the hole, adding $57 billion to the shortfall from 1996 through 2010. The increase was driven primarily by the failure to put added taxpayer money into the fund, abetted by accounting techniques that pushed financial pressures into the future.
Illinois changed the plan again in 2005, allowing it to further cut its contributions. So-called pension holidays approved by the legislature allowed Illinois to cut its contributions by about half in 2006 and 2007.
Illinois Comptroller Judy Baar Topinka said in a statement from her Chicago office that the state had done the right thing by moving to improve disclosures.
"We will all be paying for the mishandling of the pension funds for many years to come," she said. "It is critical that we learn from the state's mistakes and never again play games with our pension systems."

iWatch-style smartwatches are not an idea whose time has come and are unlikely to replace handsets, according to the head of one of the world's largest timepiece-makers.
Earlier this month, tech sites unearthed patents revealing that the tech giant is working on an iOS powered smartwatch, which is being developed by a 100-strong team. Subsequent reports claimed that the devices are already in testing across Apple's Cupertino nerve centre.
The news prompted predictably excitable talk in some quarters that a so-called iWatch could spark another smart-device revolution of the kind that previously emanated from Infinite Loop with the iPad and iPhone.
Not so, claims Swatch Group CEO Nick Hayek. In an interview with the business bods at Bloomberg, Hayek said the chances of smartwatches replacing smartphones are hampered by the smaller screens they necessarily feature.
Ostensibly at least, these make it fiddly and difficult for users to navigate around the device's apps and functions.
Hayek said: "Personally, I don't believe it's the next revolution. Replacing an iPhone with an interactive terminal on your wrist is difficult. You can't have an immense display."
So what do we think? Well, the way we've got it figured, Hayek's comments, although pretty sage on paper, suggest that he's misunderstood what Apple is planning with the iWatch, which reports suggest will not make or take calls.
So, rather than as a replacement for the iPhone, it will be pitched as an accessory a la Kickstarter phenom the Pebble watch that'll be paired with the handset over Wi-Fi or Bluetooth and offering users the chance to access limited features of their handset's remotely.
What's more, we're fans of Swatch here, not least the company's triffic Jeremy Scott collaborations. But while we can still see a hardcore of people buying trad watches for fashion reasons, we can't help thinking that Hayek's remarks also betray a bit of fear on Swatch's part in the face of the tide of change too.

Same Day A/C & Plumbing Service
Phoenix Home Furnace & Heater Replacement Services
Not sure if it's time to replace your heat pump or furnace? Dirt and debris can collect in air ducts, especially ones that are overworked. Many HVAC units and ventilation systems can wear out with use as they work hard to circulate air in your building. If you feel your unit is costing you too much and is overworked, replacing it may be the best option for you. The following are indicators that it may be time for a new unit:
Unit Age: Heating systems have a lifespan of 10 to 20 years. Heat pumps older than 10 years, and furnaces older than 15 years, often need replacing. The efficiency of these units decreases with age, which affects both the quality of air in your home and the cost of electricity to run it.
Frequency of Repairs Needed: Does your unit require repairs more often than not? If every time you schedule a maintenance call, you need to repair a part, it is probably time to consider replacing the unit as a whole. The amount you spend on repair could be going towards a new, more efficient unit. Ultimately, you could save money by replacing your old, ineffective unit.
Uneven Distribution of Temperature: If certain rooms are warmer or cooler than others, something could be malfunctioning in your unit. Our expert technicians can evaluate the ductwork and ventilation of your unit to determine the best solution to improve air flow.
Humidity Issues: A properly functioning unit should not leave your place feeling humid and uncomfortable. If this is an issue in your commercial building, the problem could have to do with your unit.
Excessive and/or Loud Noises: Noisiness is a sign of a malfunctioning coil or undersized duct system, both leading to costly repairs. Prevent costly breakdowns and repairs with annual tune-ups. If your system continues to make excessive noise, a replacement may be the best option for you!
Worried about pricing? ACE has financing options and flexible plans that can work with your budget. Contact our offices to learn more, or schedule an appointment for a free installation estimate! Upgrade your unit today and trust your place, with ACE!

Elizabeth Barrett Browning Quotes About ChildrenQuotes about: Children
The sweetest lives are those to duty wed, Whose deeds, both great and small Are close-knot strands of an unbroken thread There love ennobles all. The world may sound no trumpets, ring no bells The book of life the shining record tells. Thy love shall chant its own beatitudes After its own life-workings. A child's kiss Set on thy sighing lips shall make thee glad; A poor man served by thee shall make thee rich; A sick man helped by thee shall make thee strong; Thou shalt serve thyself by every sense, Of service which thou renderest.
I remember, when I was a child and wrote poems in little clasped books, I used to kiss the books and put them away tenderly because I had been happy near them, and take them out by turns when I was going from home, to cheer them by the change of air and the pleasure of the new place. This, not for the sake of the verses written in them, and not for the sake of writing more verses in them, but from pure gratitude.

PunkPowerPop cooked it Southern style. The Perfect Fits feature Memphis mainstays Scott Rogers (Cool Jerks, Dutch Masters ) & Tommy Trouble (Final Solutions, Dranks) and bring Ramones overtones to the proceedings but that thing is kinda unavoidable when doing something out of this template. It's how ya make use of that template is what the important thing is and these guys use it pretty well. They know that slinging the guitars low and wearing Chuck Taylors are part of it but it's not the only thing, y'know.
Over the last couple of weeks "(My Heart's A) Radio Transmitter" has become the unofficial opening theme songs that starts off my Wednesday night radio show. It's tough yet catchy, shiny yet glossy and packed with equal amounts of sincerity and sarcasm. The last song to get dubbed my unofficial opening theme song was "Multiple Girls" by the Black & Whites which is a tune along the same lines soundwise as this. That might have something to do with a Oxford/Memphis connection though (more on that in a few). Side two's "Songs About Girls" is asks the musical question/makes the musical statement "We know the world is in the shitter and you're really pissed off. Why not lighten up for a bit and write about something that has made billions feel better for many a year." Nope, this is not the kinda song that makes you want to mope ya dope. Take that frown, turn it upside down and jump around.
Kicking off their side of the Contaminated Records split single with Twinkle Van Winkle is "Childish Ways" a twang-banger that hops on it's Sears Spirit of '76 edition Free Spirit (yep, sissy bar and all) and pedals down to the arcade to buy some kicks off a guy that looks a lot like Tom Petersson of Cheap Trick. ""All Cried Out" pulls out Merseybeat drama roots from of Davie Allan's garden then replants them in their own Memphis backyard.
No matter how much I like their two songs on the split though (and I do dig 'em quite a bit) the Possessor of one fine honey & gravel voice Twinkle Van Winkle and her predominately Oxford, Ms. based (see I told ya there was some kinda connection) band featuring the likes of a one Mr. Tyler Keith on lead guitar (and Scott of the Perfects Fits on bass too) steamroll right over 'em. A single guitar starts off the blare before everything else kicks into a deep south beach party (okay, maybe not an ocean or one of the Great Lakes but there large bodies enough bodies of water to throw one if ya look hard enough) groove that is "Ain't Wastin' Time". Though there may be hints of vulnerability in Miss Van Winkle's voice when she lays it down and tells ya she doesn't need to spend her time with someone that treats her wrong you can bet your boots that by that tough as nails command she has in her voice she means it. "Love You So Hard" is almost like a Blondie song from "Plastic Letters" but catchier...and, thanks to a looser production (dig the loud ass and brittle guitar solo) than ANY Blondie record had, much more immediate and real. I'm thinking one of the Twinkle songs is gonna become the next unofficial theme of my radio starting TOMORROW!

Augmented Reality and Empress of Ireland
MSi3D and CIMMI recently worked together to develop an iPad app which commemorates the 100th anniversary of the Empress of Ireland's shipwreck. MSi3D used a 3D imaging sonar system, called the Echoscope, to take three-dimensional data of the wreck. CIMMI then used this data to develop the augmented reality app.

Campus Safety officers patrol the campus 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, 365 days a year. In addition, an off-duty Baltimore City Police officer patrols the campus during the evening hours when classes are in session.
Security guards and student monitors at Campus Safety desks near the entrances of most academic buildings are the eyes and ears of MICA.
Campus Safety Patrols
Campus Safety use Segway and bike patrols to support the campus and the surrounding community. These patrol methods help make the MICA community safer and provide a green, cost-effective alternative to over-reliance on motor vehicles. Read more about Segway & bike patrols on campus »
Awareness & Prevention
The Department of Campus Safety informs the campus community about crime awareness and safety. The effectiveness of any security program depends on the degree of cooperation and support it receives from those it is designed to protect. Your role in preventing crime is to keep yourself, your apartment, your car, your classroom, and your office safe by incorporating safe behavior into your daily routine. Read Campus Safety's Basic Safety Tips »
Services & Programs

Reporting Criminal Activities, Emergencies, and Suspicious Conditions
To report an incident, click here.
Perhaps the most important element of a campus safety program is the assistance of our students, faculty, staff, and guests who report suspicious people or activities to Campus Safety. If you are a victim of, observe, or have knowledge of a crime or other emergency (accident, fire, medical, gas leak), report it to Baltimore City Police/Fire/Ambulance (911) then notify MICA Campus Safety by going to a staffed lobby Security Desk or call our 24 hour Emergency Dispatch by dialing 3333 on campus or 443-423-3333 off campus. Campus courtesy phones are located in lobbies of campus buildings without Campus Safety desks, and in most studio facilities.
When an urgent situation is reported to Campus Safety, patrol officers are dispatched to the scene to lend assistance and investigate. If Baltimore City Police/Fire/Ambulance (911) have not already been summoned by the reporting person, Campus Safety officers will call the appropriate agencies when emergency and/or police service is needed. Campus Safety and Baltimore emergency response personnel are responsive, well trained, and equipped to handle all emergencies.

text: Nifty little service to save on your phone calls. I joined their service about 2 months ago, but don't utilize it as much as I should. Just buy a pair of headphones with a built in mic and your ready to go. (cheaper headphones start at around $10) Install their software and dial from your PC, all data runs VoIP - which means no phone lines involved. Voices will be converted through the transmission. No one I have spoke to online has ever complained about the quality (I'm sure this is best for broadband users). The only complaint I have is most likely something setup wrong on my end. I talk into the mic and they hear me no problem, but the voice coming back to me is only heard through my regular speakers. Not good for privacy, and not to mention it gets annoying. I'll need to fiddle with that. US calls are $0.02 per minute anywhere in the USA. Full rates and more information can be found here: http://web.net2phone.com/products/commcenter/

Today's prompt is:
The fire followed the liquid paraffin spilled across his lap.
Blackstone Resorts is a southern plantation built in the 1800's by the Reverend Charles Blackstone. It only opens its door to guests once every eight years. Guests soon discover they had walked into a Venus flytrap with no escape unless they repent their evil ways to the Reverend's satisfaction. The tradition continues two centuries later as eight unsuspecting guests arrive. Each resident has his or her own reason for needing a quick escape from the outside world. Tension mounts quickly as they come face to face with their worst nightmare. Will they repent their evil ways or remain at Blackstone for the rest of their lives?

Rainbow and blue moonstone cabochons prices qualities
We are going to write and answer many questions of people regarding moonstone. This article will cover following information -
1. Why moonstone is becoming so people and jewelry makers favorite gemstone?
2. In how many colors moonstone comes?
3. What is the origin of rainbow or blue firing moonstone?
4. General price idea based on different qualities of blue moonstone?
1. Why moonstone is becoming so people and jewelry makers favorite gemstone- Every third jewelry making company is using moonstone in their designs because of its magnificent natural blue firing. Except labradorite there is not any other stone which can replace moonstone. In actual labradorite is also not a perfect replacement. Few years back moonstone was one of the cheapest semi precious stone but due to increasing demand prices has been hiked and very fine material is available in limited quantities.
2. In how many colors moonstone comes - Moonstone is not only available in blue or rainbow color but also available in white, orange, grey, peach, chocolate, camel, creamy and many other colors. Top quality moonstone comes with chatoyancy and looks elegant when tilt left-right.
3. What is the origin of rainbow or blue firing moonstone - Blue firing moonstone comes from two countries - Africa and India so basically African and Indian moonstone are running in the market. African quality comes with white with blue firing and Indian comes with transparent with blue and rainbow firing. See the picture to know difference -
African Moonstone
Indian Moonstone
4. General price idea based on different qualities of blue moonstone? - Moonstone prices starts with 0.20-0.25$ per carat and goes up to 25-30$ per carat for top quality. Basic parameters to judge a moonstone is - 1. Transparency 2. Blue or rainbow firing
So here we are diving moonstone in three divisions -
1. Low quality (less firing and full of clouds inside) - In this variety Moonstone comes with full of clouds or no transparent with very less blue firing. This one starts with 0.25$ per carat in small and free big sizes.
2. Medium quality (Good firing and slight clouds inside) - This one is medium range, in this range very small lining or clouds and decent blue firing can be seen inside the stone. This quality starts with 1.25-2$ per carat.
|Medium Quality Moonstone blue firing
3. Top Quality - This one is gem quality, in this quality moonstone come completely transparent with iridescent blue firing, this quality comes very high in prices. Generally it starts with 15$ per carat and goes high depends on size and shapes.
|African and Indian Moonstone AAA Top quality

Business Address
Our business addresses are in various locations in London, UK and now overseas. As we all know, image is extremely important and a quality address can only enhance the appearance of a company.
No more PO boxes or home addresses
People are particularly sceptical about PO (Post Office) addresses. In a virtual world, customers and suppliers want to know that there is a physical address they can visit if necessary. With all the bad news about the elderly & vulnerable being defrauded by people and businesses purporting to be legitimate
Equally, as a home-based business owner, you don't want to distribute your home address and have your customers, suppliers or anyone uninvited dropping by, just because they are in the area.
A Professional Business Address can bring benefits even to larger companies wishing to portray a presence in an alternative location.
Mail Forwarding
Our Global Business Address services include these features:
- A proper commercial property address with mail forwarding.
- Mail forwarded to you on a daily, weekly or monthly basis (as required by you)
- Registered office hosting (if required and in line with local laws)
- Your post can be opened, scanned and emailed to you as soon as we receive it (if it is time critical or for convenience).
Exceptional Quality
We are an experienced and affordable Virtual Office service provider, our reputation is built on providing large and small businesses/professional firms with a Virtual Office service.
Providing tangible, financial and operational benefits. As a result our large and loyal client base utilises our mailing addresses, forwarding service and a wide array of other Virtual Office services including telephone answering.

Powerhouse wines from Blackwood Lane
After several years of hand-selling its wines (primarily to restaurants), Blackwood Lane Vineyards & Winery is about to open its own wineshop in a remodelled house on a south Langley hilltop with views of Mount Baker.
To borrow a phrase from the advertisements for Junker, a Langley car dealership, "it's worth the drive!" These are wines for the connoisseur - hopefully, the well-heeled connoisseur. Some of these tasty wines are not inexpensive. The Reference (above), for example, is an $89 Bordeaux blend.
Alliance, another of the winery's Bordeaux blends, sells for $59. Are they worth it? Wait until you see the scores.
Blackwood Lane's tasting room is at 25189 8th Avenue. It overlooks a south-facing slope with a two-acre vineyard. As it happens, the vineyard is being replanted after last's hard winter.
Blackwood Lane's tasting room is at 25189 8th Avenue. It overlooks a south-facing slope with a two-acre vineyard. As it happens, the vineyard is being replanted after last's hard winter.
However, while the winery has based itself in Langley, this is in every other respect an Okanagan winery, with grape purchase contracts throughout the south Okanagan including the storied Inkameep Vineyards near Oliver. Like Domaine de Chaberton and Township 7, Blackwood Lane prefers to have its winery close to the important Vancouver market.
The winery is operated by Carlos Lee, a Vancouver businessman of Korean parentage who grew up in Peru, and Charles Herrold, a 1980s rock musician turned businessman turned winemaker.
In most blind tastings, it is hard to single out the winemakers. That is probably not so with Blackwood Lane. Charles stamps his wines with as identifiable a signature as any British Columbia winemaker. The wines, especially the reds, share bold, athletic builds - powerhouses of flavour. The reds have the structure to age but without the harsh tannins sometimes encountered in pricey reds. With a bit of decanting, these wines can be enjoyed now. With a bit of patience, they can be enjoyed five or 10 years from now.
Aggressive pricing (not all Blackwood Lane wines are expensive) might be a risk in this economy. However, these are small lot wines. Only 240 cases of The Reference were made. Even in this economy, there are enough collectors, connoisseurs and plain old high rollers to soak up that modest number of cases.
The prices reflect the high cost involved in making these wines. Charles and Carlos generally pay top dollar for Okanagan grapes in an effort to assure themselves of premium quality fruit. The reds are aged as long as two and a half years in expensive oak barrels, mostly French, and then age still further in bottle before being released. That is the formula for handcrafting expensive wines.
I recently tasted through the range of wines that are expected to be available in the Blackwood Lane wine shop, come the grand opening promised on the web site. The partial bottles were retasted again over the following several days, to see how the wines evolve. They improved and remained delicious as long as - in the case of a Merlot - a week after the original bottle was opened. Such sturdy winemaking is commendable.
An explanation on why two of the wines are called Vicuna, the name of a particular Peruvian llama. When Carlos and Charles bought this Langley farm, the neighbour had a herd of llamas. Sentimental for the country of his childhood, Carlos suggested naming some wines after those animals. No sooner had Blackwood Lane committed to those names than the neighbour sold the herd.
Vicuna Blanco 2008 ($19). This is an appealing aromatic blend of (mostly) Pinot Gris, Riesling, Chenin Blanc and Gewurztraminer. The wine has clean, refreshing flavours of pears and citrus fruits, with a tangy finish. A very quaffable white. 88 points.
Vicuna Roja 2005 ($N.A.) This is an unusual but successful blend of Pinot Noir (42%) with Merlot, Cabernet Franc and Cabernet Sauvignon. It is a juicy wine with flavours of lightly spicy strawberry jam. 88.
Blackwood Lane 2005 Chardonnay ($19). Charles Herrold made about 700 cases of this wine and only has 150 cases left. It is drinking well now but probably has peaked. It is a bold rich golden-hued wine that recalls the California style of yore - tons of marmalade and butter flavours with aromas of honey and toast. 88
Blackwood Lane 2008 Chenin Blanc Sommelier Series ($24) Charles managed to buy grapes grown on 34-year-old Chenic Blanc vines to make 70 cases. It is a fleshy wine with aromas and flavours of lime and herbs. There is a long, tangy finish. The wine was fermented in neutral oak barrels, accounting for its attractive texture. 89
Blackwood Lake 2006 Cabernet Franc Sommelier Series ($44). The exceptionally grown fruit is from Inkameep and the wine spent 18 months in French oak. This is a vibrant red, with aromas of red currants and pencil lead; and with flavours of currants and cherries. The finish goes on and on. 90 The recently bottled 2007 Cabernet Franc is comparable.
Blackwood Lane 2006 Merlot Sommelier Series ($39). Another bright, lively red with flavours of cherry, blackberry and currant with a touch of vanilla on the nose. With time in the opened bottle, the wine became richer on the palate without losing freshness. 90 The recently bottled 2007 Merlot is comparable.
Alliance 2006 ($59). This is a blend of 58.5% Cabernet Sauvignon, 29% Merlot and 12.5% Cabernet Franc that spent 25 months in a variety of barrels. The winery has released 625 cases and plans to release about 700 cases of a comparable 2007 Alliance. Dark in colour, this is a big, ripe red with vanilla and currant aromas and with flavours of currants, plums, spice, chocolate and coffee. The texture is polished and generous on the palate. 94
The Reference 2006 ($89). Made with 80% free-run juice, this blend includes all five Bordeaux varieties - the three in the previous blend along with Malbec and Petit Verdot. The wine begins with those classic cigar box and currant aromas one finds in good Bordeaux reds. On the palate, there is lovely sweet fruit, with notes of cherry, plum and chocolate. The wine is complex and elegant, with the svelte texture of ripe, fine-grained tannins. 96
