Since 2012, and as its CEO, Haifa Dia Al-Attia has been leading the Queen Rania Foundation for Education and Development (QRF), an NGO that is charged with influencing national policy and leading innovation in education towards improving the quality and state of that offering in Jordan and improving the learning outcomes of students. QRF leads nine different independent NGOs and initiatives affiliated with Her Majesty Queen Rania Al Abdullah, where QRF's mandate focuses on coordinating and aligning their work with the needed reforms, building and supporting their institutional capacity and sustainability as well as on creating synergy amongst them. QRF acts as a research hub and develops programmes that address the needs and gaps in educational services to Jordanians and which also respond to opportunities on the local, regional and global levels for the introduction of new initiatives, in cooperation with a host of partners and sponsors, all of whom contribute to the strengthening of QRF's operations and its brand.
Appointed to the National Committee for Human Resource Development, set up by the Prime Minister in April 2015, under directives from His Majesty King Abdullah II, to oversee the development and implementation of a 10 year strategy covering early childhood education, K-12 schooling, technical and vocational training, Haifa led on developing the strategy covering Early Childhood Development through Grade 12. Today, Haifa is also the Chairwoman of the Board of Edraak, the first not for profit Arabic language Massive Open Online Courses platform created by QRF in 2014, and the Queen Rania Teacher Academy. She also serves on the board of the Queen Rania Award for Excellence in Education.
A graduate of the American University in Beirut, she moved from an English Language teaching post at the Ministry of Education to the Royal Court where she rose to Deputy Director of the Office of the Crown Prince in 1994 and served as an Education Adviser there until July 2005. She helped found the Amman Baccalaureate School and served for 23 years on its Board of Trustees. She was elected Vice President of the International Baccalaureate Organisation's Council of Foundation (IBO) where she championed equal access to IB programmes worldwide and she also acted as the IBO's regional representative for the Middle East for over 20 years. In 2006, Haifa joined the Aga Khan Academies Unit and worked on this project to set up 18 leadership schools in 14 developing countries. Over all those years she was also involved with the United World Colleges Movement and with the European Council of International Schools.
A member of the International Women's Forum, she served on its Global Board for two years and was Treasurer of IWF/Jordan, chairwoman of its communications committee and member of its Leadership Enhancement and Mentoring Programme (LEMP) which offers leadership training to women in middle management allowing them to break the glass ceiling and rise to the top posts in their companies and organisations.
Outside of education, Haifa was elected as President of the Jordanian Osteoporosis Prevention Society in 2010, on whose board she had served for four years. Many years earlier and in yet another field, Haifa had helped revamp the Jordanian National Gymnastics Federation and as the Board's Secretary and Head of its Fundraising Committee, she facilitated the establishment of its training facilities and oversaw the preparations for the first National Under 18 year old Girls Squad which won Bronze in the Arab Games in Amman in 1999 as well as an individual gold medal.
Married since 1984 and with three adult children, Haifa loves music and traveling. She is perfectly bilingual in Arabic and English and speaks both Italian and French. She is a football and gymnastics enthusiast and herself played on the under 18 National Table Tennis Team.

Sen. Joe Lieberman of Connecticut, the Democrats' vice presidential nominee in 2000, urged Democrats to cross party lines Tuesday night and cast their votes for Sen. John McCain of Arizona, telling them they could "always count on him to be straight with you about where he stands and to stand for what he thinks is right regardless of politics."
"What, after all, is a Democrat like me doing at a Republican convention like this?" Lieberman asked.
His answer: "I'm here to support John McCain because country matters more than party."

"I woulda gotten away with it if it hadn't been for those genetically-modified trifles!"
This character, seen glowing a bileous green, at night, round the back of the Yoplait factory on the outskirts of Yeovil:
Dead-Eye Jack, the locals call him. Apparently, he used to be the factory handy-man. An odd fellow...they say he died in mysterious circumstances, drowned in a vat of sherry-trifle...now his ghastly shade haunts the old factory on the edge of town, scaring off busy-bodies and snoopers who wander onto the trading-estate at night.
I've seen the flickering coloured lights coming from the factory windows in the hours before dawn. The clatter, whirrr and hum of heavy-machinery. And the black, unmarked buses full of dead-eyed Portugese migrant workers that arrive at twilight...
Just what are they trying to hide up there?

Rajneesh Quotes About EternityQuotes about: Eternity
Go deep into meditation. And by meditation I mean awareness, watchfulness, witnessing. It is only through meditation that the inner light begins. Otherwise man lives in darkness. Meditation enkindles something that is latent in all of us, but needs to be provoked. We are looking outwards. Our backs are at our inner source; hence it is being neglected, ignored. and to ignore one's inner being is the only ignorance. To know it is the only knowledge. All other knowledge is worthless. It may help you in the world but it can't help you in eternity.
Life is nothing but an opportunity for love to blossom. If you are alive, the opportunity is there - even to the last breath. You may have missed your whole life: just the last breath, the last moment on the earth, if you can be love, you have not missed anything - because a single moment of love is equal to the whole eternity of love.
You exist in time, but you belong to eternity- You are a penetration of eternity into the world of time-You are deathless, living in a body of death- Your consciousness knows no death, no birth- It is only your body that is born and dies-But you are not aware of your consciousness-You are not conscious of your consciousness-And that is the whole art of meditation;Becoming conscious of consciousness itself.
Light is shallow; darkness is infinitely deep. Light is always bounded, it has boundaries. Darkness has no boundaries, it is unbounded. Light comes and goes; darkness always is. When there is light you cannot see it. When light is not there you can see it. But it is always there; you cannot cause it. Light has a cause. You burn the fire, you put on wood. When the wood is finished the light will be gone. It is caused, hence it is an effect. But darkness is not caused by anything, it is not an effect. It is uncaused eternity.
Through meditation one discovers one's own light. That light you can call your soul, your self, your God—whatsoever word you choose—or you can remain just silent because it has no name. It is a nameless experience, tremendously beautiful, ecstatic, utterly silent, but it gives you the taste of eternity, of timelessness, of something beyond death.

RANCHO SANTA MARGARITA, CA (BRAIN) — For the first time in Serfas' 20-year history the company is running a television commercial. The brand will run two 30-second ads during the Tour de France, which starts Saturday.
The spots will be airing on NBC Sports Network on cable in the U.S. and online at NBCSports.com. One spot will focus on shoes, tires and pumps and feature Team CashCall, a Serfas-sponsored road team based in Southern California. The other spot will focus on lights and eyewear and feature mountain biking footage.
"I think I can pretty much speak for everyone here in that every time I see both commercials I get goosebumps," said Jason Norman, director of marketing for Serfas. "I can only imagine what it feels like for the people who have been here for more than decade who have helped build this company's framework.
"I think these commercials speak volumes to not only where our product is now, but the brand and its image as well," he said.
The commercials were produced by Stu Haight, who has done a handful videos for the company in recent months.

Tributes have been paid to an award-winning architect who died following a car crash in the north of England at the age of 52.
Warren Barnett died after a collision while driving through Humshaugh Village in Northuumberland .
Now close family and friends have paid tributes to Barnett, who was a partner at Newcastle-based Squires Barnett Architects, describing him as a true professional and "the architect of the people".
His sister and business partner, fellow architect Louise Squires, said: "The world has lost a great man, we are all absolutely devastated by his passing.
"Warren was my best friend and brother and I loved him dearly.
"We worked together, shared our lives together from the beginning to the end and it is difficult to accept that he has now gone.
"However he was always optimistic and would sincerely want us to carry on and continue to fly the 'Squires Barnett' flag in his name in pursuit of great architecture and passion to succeed."

A felony expungement lawyer is any lawyer who represents a client who is seeking to have criminal records sealed, according to LegalMatch.com. A lawyer is not always required for this process but serves to clarify the rules for expungement regarding the client's specific case. These rules vary in different jurisdictions.Continue Reading
Felony expungement refers to the process by which felony charges are removed from a person's criminal record, according to Nolo. In most cases, once a felony has been sealed this way, its record is no longer visible to the public, though government agencies, such as law enforcement, may still have access to the record as needed.Learn more about Law

In today's increasingly corporate world, we all have certain brand allegiances. They (sad but true) make us who we are in today's America. But it might surprise you that the majority of items in American supermarkets are owned by about 10 companies according to a graphic made by the British charity Oxfam.
- Coca Cola owns more than 500 drink brands, including Dasani, Sprite, and Minute Maid juices. About 1.9 billion Coca Cola branded drinks are served across the globe on any given day. (They also own the sometimes-still-available Surge, which had amazingly bad ads!)
- In second place in the soda wars is PepsiCo, which owns Gatorade and Lays potato chips (including Doritos, Cheetos, and Ruffles). PepsiCo also claims Quaker Oats and Tropicana fruit juices, meaning that they have a deciding stake in most of the orange juice sold in the U.S. And in a cunning/shrewd display of corporate synergy, PepsiCo even owns and markets the Starbucks drinks available outside of Starbucks stores.
- Nestlé makes Gerber baby food, high-brow fizzy water Perrier, low-brow frozen pizza pockets Hot Pockets, and close to a dozen different kinds of bottled water. They even own beauty companies L'Oreal and Maybelline. Just think of the cross-promotion, Nestlé! Maybe Hot Pockets are born with it!
- Mondelez made about $25.9 billion in snacks last year. You helped contribute to that if you bought Sour Patch Kids, Oreos, Trident Gum, Nilla Wafers, Triscuits, Toblerone, Philadelphia Cream Cheese, Wheat Thins, and just about every chocolate sold in Great Britain (they own all of Cadbury).
- Think Kellogg's just makes cornflakes? Think again. They make over 30 other major cereals (including my beloved Raisin Bran) and also own Pringles, Eggo, and Pop Tart.
- Danone is best known for yogurt (Activia, Oikos, and their namesake Dannon), but they also produce Evian and a dozen other water brands. They also own seven brands dedicated to medical nutrition should you ever find yourself in a hospital.
- Unilever owns a vast wide-ranging catalog of brands including Lipton tea, Vaseline, and Q-Tips. They own Axe body spray as well as Dove soap and several laundry detergent brands (convenient if you happen to spray too much Axe body spray on in the club). They are also the single biggest ice cream producer in the world with Magnum, Klondike, and even Ben 'n Jerry's under their belt.
- Mars owns not only their eponymous Mars bars but also Orbit gum, Altoids, Twix, Snickers, and over 2 dozen popular pet products like Greenies, Whiskas, and Pedigree. They also own about 900 veterinary hospitals across the U.S.
- General Mills not only owns 25 separate cereals (including Cheerios, which itself has about a dozen different variants), but it also owns Betty Crocker, Pillsbury, Totinos Pizza Rolls, and 51% of Yoplait yogurts. It also owns Red Lobster and Oliver Garden. They even own Parker Bros., the makers of Monopoly. Which seems quite fitting.
- Associated British Foods might not be the most visible brand to American audiences but it owns several aisles of the grocery stores abroad. They own Ryvita Biscuits, Twinings Tea, and control the export of massive American brands such as Tabasco hot sauce and Skippy peanut butter; they even lay claim in many parts of the world to the Weber grills brand . In America, their biggest brand is Fleischmann's Yeast.

I Loved You From The Moment...
This is my view on the "I Loved You From The Moment" saying.
A little bit of this and a little bit of that, These are the things my hubs, (articles) are made of. Some sugar and spice and all things nice. Even some snakes and snails, and puppy dog tails, (tales). There isn't a curl in the middle of my forehead but there are those occassions as well.
I am a mother of two, grandmother of two. My son just joined the Navy, leaving me impatiently awaiting letters from him. I am happily married, 24 years now, looking forward to the next 20. I come from a large family of eleven children all by the same two parents. We were raised by our mother from the time my father died. I was a year and a half and the tenth child, and she was expecting another. "The Strand Pearls" is about my family.
I love nature and music besides my family they are my passion. I enjoy puzzles; jigsaw, logic, hidden object to name a few. I love writing and reading. I have so many interests that it can be hard to focus on one, however. So my hubs will be about various things. I have some hubs about nature and travel, social issues and just for fun articles. There are some of local interests, such as "Fun For Free--McCourtie Park in Somerset, Michigan" and "Hidden Lake and Reciprocal Gardens - Hidden Fun."
There is also my first five chapters of my novel, "The Romantic Strangler."
I have had a few different jobs over the years but the most rewarding has been being a grandmother. The subjects of some of my articles are the sweetest little grand kids in the world. Well, to me they are. :)
This is my view on the "I Loved You From The Moment" saying.

Cooking is as much a science as it is an art – both following a strict set of instructions or creating a new dish on the spur of the moment can yield excellent results (and full bellies). Even the most extemporaneous chef, however, has a stash of favourite recipes on hand – if not for anything else, then just to draw inspiration from when the next meals comes calling.
Recipes (Mac App Store link) gives chefs of all skill levels a digital box in which they can save, consult and find their recipes. The app offers an elegant interface that captures all the essentials elements of a recipe: basic data like name, difficulty level and cooking time are recorded alongside step-by-step instructions and an ingredient list. A separate grocery list is also available, although, unfortunately, there is no way to populate it with a recipe's ingredients, or to sync it with the Reminders app.
Recipes can also import cooking instructions from a website of your choosing through a built-in browser (to get you started, the app provides a list of the most popular recipe websites). The process isn't particularly intuitive – you can copy text and drag it to the various fields that the app provides – and doesn't offer a lot of feedback, but it does work and, once you get used to the process, makes grabbing recipes from the web relatively easy.
The search functionality works quite well, although it doesn't seem to extend to the ingredients list or step-by-step instructions – a handy feature when all you have in the fridge is ground beef and you don't feel like eating burger patties for dinner.

Tryndamere Build Guide by JQ_Tvor

Tryndamere Build
Ability Sequence
Not Updated For Current Season
The masteries shown here are not yet updated for the current season, the guide author needs to set up the new masteries. As such, they will be different than the masteries you see in-game.
Pros / Cons
Tryndamere has pros and cons to work with.
Extremely High damage out put.
Ultimate that makes him not able to die for 5 seconds.
The ability to use that Ultimate even when suppressed.
A slow with Mocking Shout.
A speed up with Spin.
Laneability with Bloodlust.
Easily Harassed.
Slow swing speed means missing last hits on minions.
little chance to harass other players.
Countered with a high HP champion with Thorn Mail (Like Rammus)
Tryndaspindawin is a very easy champion to work with. His baseline is so high that he requires little to make him useable at any elo. It is the reason why Tryndamere in Indonesian means "Easy Warrior." This is going to be a very quick little guild on what works with him.
Most people will try to critical strike with Tryndamere, which is very important, however, Tryndamere is more then a critical machine. I will explain why I take each after. For this reason the runes I take are:
9 Marks of Desolation
The early armor penetration makes Tryndamere a laneing nightmare. After spinning up early game he bypasses most champions armor with only the 9 marks. This also works later on in your favor when champions gain more armor, as it still passes right through much of it.
9 Seals of Alacrity
Since the revamp of Tryndamere, including the rage system, he gains rage off of hits, not just critical strikes like the bloodlust stacks did. This makes the ability to hit more, as opposed to hitting harder, very important. Tryndamere does not have a fast attack speed so he needs help. It is easy to lose some last hits on minions because of the amount of time it takes to swing.
9 Glyphs of Warding
Warding give the magic resist Tryndamere needs to stay in the lane against a pushing and harassing mage or support. Tryndamere major downfall is that he gets harassed easily early game and it can cost minnions, last hits, and deaths if you are not careful. The warding gives you minor protection against mages and can allow you to survive a nuke if it's cast in your direction.
Quints of Alacrity
Same reason for using the quints as using the seals. Tryndamere has a slow attack that hits hard. The boost in attack speed is very important.
Tryndamere is a DPS AD champion. His masteries should complement this. Since he has no need for AP or Mana, head down the left side of the offensive tree. 21 offensive masteries gives Tryndamere a huge step up on anyone who wants to try to use the defensive tree as a base. The 9 in he defensive tree are based around gaining armor and a little bit of magic resist. Since you have the runes for Magic Resist, it is a good idea to have some armor. This will help against minions and other AD champions.
For starting items I choose a dagger and as many health potions as I can get my hands on. As quickly as it can be done I turn it into Zeal. The reason why I go directly to Zeal and not to Berserkers Greaves is because Zeal gives Tryndamere movement speed already. It also gives him critical chance, and the ever so important attack speed.
After that I up my movement a little bit more with the Berserkers Greaves. The attack speed mixed with the movement speed makes anyone hard pressed to just run away from you. With the spin, mocking shout, and items, getting the upper hand on another champion becomes easy. Even more so when they have no escape.
After I have attack speed and movement speed locked down, I grab some sustain. A simple Vamperic Scepter gives the health restoration I need to not have to waste my rage on healing every time it fills up. At this point you've spent around 2.4k in gold. This is cheap in comparison to other champions who require Rabadons Death cap or Warmongs to survive past level 6. Unfortunately, it cannot stay this way.
The only really expensive item you'll need is the next one: Infinity Edge. Infinity Edge gives Tryndamere the edge against any champion at this point. Level 6 with endless rage and an Infinity Edge means you are hitting hard, fast, for 250% damage, and gaining it back from the Scepter. After that you round out the build.
Tryndamere turns the Zeal into a Phantom Dancer and let the light show begin. At this point you are swinging for the fences and hitting like truck. The Phantom Dancer will also make it even more difficult for any champion to get away. Farm out jungle, gain money faster, kill minions in a single hit, and take out towers.
Tryndamere turns the Scepter into an Executioners Calling, using the greavis would ability when ever possible. It rebounds every minute and not using it is a waste. It ups the critical chance, and life steal that you had so going into a battle without rage is less of an issue.
This next item is very near and dear to me as Tryndamere. Frozen Mallet is a life saver. The 700 health and slow on attack means no one is getting away from you. It procts on spin so when spinning into a crowd, they all slow down. The health makes you more tanky for late game so mages cannot burst you down before you rage, if only you had some armor...
Atma's Impaler fixes that. This rounds out Tryndamere's rageless critical chance to 88%. It gives armor and more damage to make Tryndamere's critical hits harder and you more survivable and in the late game when mages do 10k damage to anyone who has no MR and other AD's do 500/second to anyone unarmored, isn't it nice to know you out damage them, out hit point them, and have more armor and MR?

Want to Persuade? First, Delight!
Delighted customers are loyal customers -- and that makes everyone happy. Bryan offers some delightful ideas.
Delighted customers are loyal customers -- and that makes everyone happy. Bryan offers some delightful ideas.
Customer service sucks!
That's not just my humble opinion. Last month, Jupiter Research (a unit of this site's parent corporation) released a study showing companies are failing to meet basic consumer service expectations, despite the fact CRM spending continues to rise. Jupiter reports CRM spending will continue to grow at a rapid rate through 2008. I'm not here to keep beating up companies that practice customer abuse. Rather, this column is about how to fix it.
A lot of companies still don't understand CRM is about managing relationships to develop customers (MRC). Satisfying customers is not about the latest and greatest software. It's about attitude, value, and empowerment.
When building relationships in this new era of consumerism, remember consumers respect honesty. I don't know about you, but I'm really tired of shopping around for the best deal on the Internet. What I want is a reliable retailer that takes the time to understand my needs, works hard to fulfill them, and demonstrates how much it appreciates my business. Customer satisfaction should never be considered a value-add feature on your site. It is an absolute requirement.
Too many companies feel they can win by trying to convince the public they will be treated fairly. If the best a customer can say after doing business with you is, "I was treated fairly," your business is pathetically stale. Don't waste any more money promoting it.
Instead, take a tiny portion of that budget, head over to a printer, and print signs for every employee with the word "lagniappe" (LAN-yap) on it. Then make certain they understand the word and that you expect them to apply it to customers. Lagniappe is a Creole word meaning "a little bit extra." Many recognize the concept as the 13th pastry in a baker's dozen or an unexpected gift from any merchant.
Amazon is my bookstore of choice. Because of price? Don't count on it. I've never searched a "price bot" for books, nor would I. It's because it's focused on giving me a little bit extra. Just after my birthday last April, I had some heavy duty gift certificates from Amazon (my friends know I spend thousands of dollars on books every year). On my wish list I found a selection of books to order. The total was about $12 more than I had in gift certificates. I fully expected to pay the difference by credit card, but somehow the order was accepted. Can you spell "delight"? That one small event turned me into a lifetime customer. Irrational? Perhaps. But how many of us are completely rational about every decision we make?
Recently, Amazon posted a letter from Founder and CEO Jeff Bezos on its home page about how it improved its already impressive American Customer Satisfaction Index (ASCI) from a record high of 84 percent to 88 percent. The company plans to invest more to bring the score even higher. Its only competition is itself. How many more people will it d-e-l-i-g-h-t?
Bezos said Amazon is canceling its TV ad campaign. It increased sales but not enough to justify the spending. Instead, the company decided to concentrate on lowering prices, mainly in the form of free shipping for orders over $25.
"Over the last couple of years, we have come to understand how low prices drive volume," said Bezos. "We think we get a better return giving the money to customers instead of television networks." Amazon will spend over $100 million to pay for free shipping this year, according to Bezos. The company figures it will make it up on volume, but Bezos wouldn't say how much of a sales increase he expects. That's a lagniappe. Amazon doesn't need to shout about it in ads. Word of mouth and customer loyalty speak volumes for it.
I was chatting with my colleague B.J. Bueno, co-author of "The Power of Cult Branding". He explained, "As a society, we absolutely are addicted to brands. We surround ourselves with them. When the brand gives us love, we build them up. When they let us down, we tear them down."
Many of today's online efforts suffer from a revolving-door syndrome. They pay huge dollars to get initial customers inside the door, but service is so horrible those customers leave and never return.
Amazon clearly understands how to give more love to customers. What a wonderful delight it is for someone not to have to pay for shipping or pay less for a product she really wants.
More important, Amazon surprises customers by exceeding expectations. I'm sure Amazon shoppers didn't expect a letter from the CEO thanking them and promising even better service in the future.
The hardest task for an online business today is to provide the user with a human experience. Dr. Margaret Singer, an expert on cults, writes in "Cults in Our Midst," "Many adults today are overwhelmed by the confusion and apparent coldness of our society… many mature adults are finding less and less to hold onto in today's techno culture."
Cult brands are inclusive. With a relatively small gesture to make customers feel welcomed and loved, Amazon is taking the right steps to building loyal followers. It is slowly building barriers to competing brands in the hearts and minds of its customers. Win the battle of the heart, and the mind won't ever wonder.
Let me know what your company does to allow customers to be part of the process.

The private dining room in the basement of Höst
The various seating areas of Höst each provide different settings
We went to a nearby farm to shoot New Norm Dinnerware and the tables and chairs for Höst
Pipe candleholders from MENU in the winter garden
When midsummer's blue skies transform to the grey depths of autumn … When the dense forest tranquillity opens harmoniously on to the fresh and rolling sea … When the changing light, landscape and seasons are both an essential part of life and a source of eternal joy … Then you are in Scandinavia.
Scandinavia's special light so magically captured and communicated by Danish painter Wilhelm Hammershøi provide the inspiration for the colour palette of New Norm Dinnerware. Materials, contours and textures are taken directly from nature's elements in the purity, simplicity and honesty that characterises Nordic form. A diversity of colours and materials sets your creativity free and brings new life to the traditional staging of a meal. Variations of colours, surfaces and compositions tell stories about the changing seasons and seasonal ingredients: spring rhubarb, summer strawberries, autumn apples. Thus New Norm Dinnerware is also the perfect scene for local cuisine and using seasonal ingredients.
Designed by architects and designers Norm and produced by Danish designhouse Menu, New Norm Dinnerware centres around the basic white plate, which can change its look with a smaller blue or grey plate – or even a granite slab – on top. You can present food on an all white canvas or tone the surface to create a new and special atmosphere. No matter how the elements are combined, the design and materials have a natural connection.
But what is a dinnerware set without food? New Norm Dinnerware is part of a larger story – a universe that holds much more than design products. Scandinavian design has found a reflection in Nordic gastronomy, so it was natural to let the two complement each other at Copenhagen's new Nordic restaurant, Höst.
"New Norm Dinnerware and Höst meet in a symbiotic relationship, where the dinnerware accompanies seasonal local cuisine while evoking a special atmosphere. The light-blue glazes lead thoughts to the cool evenings of Nordic summer. They combine beautifully with light summer foods and provide a contrast to the season's colourful berries. The dark blue-grey glazes symbolise the seas around us and the dramatic cloudy skies – the elements surrounding fish and fowl. The warm brown wood tones tell of the forest's depth, sensuality and warmth, making them a perfect companion for autumn meals. The coarse texture of the stone plate tells the story of the Nordic mountains – a scenic backdrop for herbs, root vegetables, mushrooms and wild berries," say Jonas Bjerre-Poulsen and Kasper Rønn from Norm.

WESTFIELD — Westfield Community Players (WCP) announced auditions for its second production of its 2012-13 season, "The Dixie Swim Club." It is being directed by Wanda S. Maragni and produced by JoAnne Lemenille.
Auditions will be held on Monday, Oct. 8 and Tuesday, Oct. 9, from 7 to 9 p.m. at the WCP theater, 1000 North Avenue West, Westfield.
"The Dixie Swim Club," a Jones-Hope-Wooten comedy is the story of Five Southern women, whose friendships began many years ago on their college swim team, and who set aside a weekend every August to recharge those relationships. Free from husbands, kids and jobs, they meet at the same beach cottage on North Carolina's Outer Banks to catch up, laugh and meddle in each other's lives. The Dixie Swim Club focuses on four of those weekends and spans a period of 33 years. We first meet the lively ladies in 1978, 23 years after college graduation, then again in 1983, 1988, and finally in 2011.
For most of the play the women should look like they're in their mid-forties to mid-fifties (one is pregnant). The brief final scene when they are in their seventies takes place after a short blackout, there is no time for a complete make-up change, just a wig (possibly) and an overdress. The aging must be accomplished by skillful acting.
SHEREE HOLLINGER: the perennial team captain, is practical, supportive, and a fount of boundless energy. Never without her to-do lists or Pocket Scheduler, her tendency to be hyper-organized drives her friends a bit crazy. She is the eternal tomboy, a health nut and an all-American mom who lives in Raleigh, North Carolina, with her family.
DINAH GRAYSON: the wise-cracking cynic of the group, has fought her way to the top and relishes the view. A lawyer in the biggest and most prestigious law firm in Atlanta, Dinah excels at everything – except romance. Armed with a dry martini and an even drier sense of humor, Dinah seldom reveals her softer side as she tackles life head-on.
LEXIE RICHARDS: a true Southern belle who lives in Chapel Hill, North Carolina, is the vain, youth-obsessed event planner for a chain of four-star hotels. She has never shied away from the occasional nip or tuck and keeps her cosmetic surgeon on speed dial. Always one to revel in her status as a man-magnet, Lexie can be counted on to share wild and hilarious tales of her romantic exploits.
JERI NEAL MCFEELEY: is the dizzy ray of sunshine of the group. She's perky and naive and always sees the positive side of everything. Having been a nun for many years, Jeri Neal has been protected from life's seamier side. Even though she appears to be predictable on the surface, Jeri Neal, recently located to Charlottesville, Virginia, continually makes life choices that surprise and amaze her friends.
VERNADETTE SIMMS is a hard luck case if there ever was one. Marriage and motherhood came shortly after college, and a dark cloud has hovered above her ever since. A public school teacher with limited finances and a problematic home life in Spivey's Corner, North Carolina, Vernadette is self-deprecating by necessity. She faces her tribulations with gallows humor and the unwavering support of these lifelong friends.
Production dates: Jan. 5, 12, 13, 18 and 19, 2013.

In fact, since the dawn of mass parties in the 1820s, American politics--and presidential politics, in particular--has always been aggressively entrepreneurial. And, as with most markets, the personal sales effort rarely takes a break.An interesting way to look at it. Calling politics entrepreneurial. I can interpret this to mean that you can afford to be an upstart in politics. Indeed it can also mean that as to how you campaign you'd better be somewhat imaginative. Either way this is a great history lesson on early American politics.
During the winter of 1826-7, Martin Van Buren was already organizing furiously to avenge Andrew Jackson's unjust defeat in the previous election. William Henry Harrison began touring key states over a year before the 1836 election. After narrowly losing to Van Buren, the 64-year-old military hero was soon on the road again. He knew, after all, that his party rivals Henry Clay and Daniel Webster were doing it too.
The prize for early starts probably goes to William Jennings Bryan, who just loved to campaign. A month after his defeat in 1896, Bryan and his wife published a thick account of the campaign whose title--The First Battle--made his intentions clear. His local post office flooded with thousands of admiring letters, and Bryan took off to speak to potential delegates in dozens of states. One could tell an analogous tale about the 1956 publication of Profiles in Courage, which first helped make John Kennedy a contender for the vice-presidential nomination that year and then made him one of the most popular speakers in the nation. By the time he announced for president in 1960, he was already the favorite.
All that's really new in the 21st century are the Internet and the ever-mounting cost of running a campaign that reporters and viewers will take seriously. Bryan and the Democrats spent all of $250,000 on his 1896 race. But then he lost to a Republican who spent at least ten times more

A long presidential campaign is nothing new
A post from the Chicago Reader blog Daily Harold which linked specifically to a post from the blog, Open University. All this based on a NY Times article (or abstract actually) about the current president campaign in which Senator Obama has just entered. It says that the race has gone to a "breathtakingly early start". So this is where the blogmaster at Open University, Georgetown University historian Michael Kazin comes in...

"For years I had been a "junkie"--addicted to prescription and over the counter drugs. used oral and topical anti-inflammatory corticosteroids for 9 years to suppress my eczema/psoriasis. The steroids' side effect nearly killed me and did nothing to cure my eczema. Why elimination or suppression of the symptom is NOT the same as elimination of the disease . The side effects caused me to swell-up like a balloon and triggered terrible mood swings from deep depression to nasty outburst our rages. Functioning of vital organs such as my liver, kidneys, lungs and spleen were nearly shut down and I thought I would die." Shirley
Lewis Sarett of Merck & Co. was the first to synthesize cortisone, using a 36-step process that started with deoxycholic acid, which was extracted from ox bile . [43] The low efficiency of converting deoxycholic acid into cortisone led to a cost of US $200 per gram. Russell Marker , at Syntex , discovered a much cheaper and more convenient starting material, diosgenin from wild Mexican yams . His conversion of diosgenin into progesterone by a four-step process now known as Marker degradation was an important step in mass production of all steroidal hormones, including cortisone and chemicals used in hormonal contraception . [44] In 1952, . Peterson and . Murray of Upjohn developed a process that used Rhizopus mold to oxidize progesterone into a compound that was readily converted to cortisone. [45] The ability to cheaply synthesize large quantities of cortisone from the diosgenin in yams resulted in a rapid drop in price to US $6 per gram, falling to $ per gram by 1980. Percy Julian's research also aided progress in the field. [46] The exact nature of cortisone's anti-inflammatory action remained a mystery for years after, however, until the leukocyte adhesion cascade and the role of phospholipase A2 in the production of prostaglandins and leukotrienes was fully understood in the early 1980s.
Because of these side effects, doctors frequently choose safer medications, such as the 5-ASA drugs and antibiotics, as initial therapy. But there are a number of ways to reduce the risk of developing side effects. These include rapid but careful tapering off of steroids; alternate-day dosing; rectally applied corticosteroids; and rapidly metabolized corticosteroids such as budesonide (described above). To help prevent osteoporosis, many doctors routinely prescribe calcium supplements as well as multivitamins that contain vitamin D. Another option is the use of bisphosphonates, such as risedronate (Actonel®) and alendronate (Fosamax®). These compounds, which have been shown to help avert bone loss, are effective in treating and preventing steroid-induced osteoporosis.

December 18, 2013 (CHICAGO) --Governor Pat Quinn is once again pushing for an increase in the Illinois minimum wage.
He commented on the issue during a tour of Saint Pius V Church in Pilsen. The current state minimum is $8.25 per hour.
Quinn wants it raised at least $10 per hour.
"Those who are claiming wrongly that this will limit economic growth are just plain wrong because the studies have shown over and over again that when you raise the minimum wage you create more jobs," said Gov. Quinn.
Republican candidate for governor Kirk Dillard says raising the minimum wage won't create jobs and he called it an election year stunt.

As the actors perform in the dark during the first few minutes of Happy Medium's fast-paced satire "Black Comedy" you wouldn't be alone in wondering if board operator Deirdre Benson has fallen asleep on the job. Conversely, the local theater veteran is wide-awake and is actually a silent star of this hilarious show.
Since most of the story takes place in the dark, the production employs a simple (yet difficult to successfully execute) reverse lighting scheme. When the stage lights are dark, the actors must perform as if they're in the light, and when they lights are on, they must fumble around as if in total darkness.
Benson never misses a cue as the bumbling Brits romp about the cramped performance space in a series of near misses and ridiculous pratfalls, all played out in varying degrees of light and darkness.
Timing is everything in a production as unique as this, and director Lizette Morris runs this little farce like a slick, well-oiled machine. The talented ensemble doesn't miss a beat as they dole out droll British humor with aplomb.
Audrey Lynn Sylvia is side-splittingly funny as haughty, repressed neighbor Miss Furnival. Rife with dowager-envy, Sylvia's Furnival unravels in grand fashion as she "accidentally" takes her first sip of alcohol. Fringe favorite Mikey DiLoreto delivers an equally riotous turn as limp-wristed, swishing neighbor Harold Gorringe. The duo's consistent seemingly inconsequential interactions in the background are some of the production's funniest moments.
The impressive two-tiered set, what must have been a mammoth undertaking for a small company like Happy Medium, creates the perfect cramped, stifling atmosphere in which for the farce to unfold.
Don't wait for the lights to go out to check out "Black Comedy."

Spay and Neuter
Spaying is a general term used to describe the ovariohysterectomy of a female animal. Neutering is a general term used to describe the castration of a male animal. However, neutering is often used in reference to both genders. The surgical procedure, performed by a veterinarian, renders the animal incapable of reproducing.
When can I have this procedure done?
We like to spay/neuter around 6 months of age.
How much does it cost?
The procedure cost will vary depending on the size of your pet. Please contact us for a customized medical care plan. 865-882-6327
Doesn't neutering alter an animal's personality?
No. Personality changes that may result from neutering are for the better. Not being distracted by the instinctual need to find a mate helps your pet stop roaming and decreases aggressive tendencies.
What are the benefits?
The most obvious reason for spaying or neutering is to prevent adding to the pet overpopoulation problem. However, there are other real benefits particularly relating to a pet's health.
No Pregnancy or Pregnancy Complications
By preventing pregnancy, spaying permanently eliminates a source of great physical stress for female animals. including complications such as ceasarian section delivery. It also eliminates:
Attendant males in abundance while the femal is in heat
Spotting during the heat period
False pregnancies (increasingly common with age)
Mammary tumors (less than 1% incidence in animals spayed before their first heat, versus higher than 50% incidence in intact female dogs over 5 years of age)
Uterine infections (increasing common with age; often life threatening)
Tumors of the ovaries or uterus
Stress, leading to increased susceptibility to diesase
Need for extra food during pregnancy and nursing
In female dogs, heat periods occur twice a year and last about 3 weeks each time. Female cats may com into heat every 2-3 weeks. During heat both dogs and cats will be more irritable and nervous than usual, and may even become aggressive and damage furniture or attack strangers. Female cats will howl and rub excessively.
Less Testosterone, Less Trouble
In terms of behavior, male dogs will benefit even more than females from being neutered. An un-neutered male can detect a female in heat even from miles away. Neutering decreases roaming by 90%. Responding to the overwhelming urge to reproduce, he will often become nervous and irritable, perhaps picking fights with other dogs, or becoming lethargic, less responsive to his owner, stop eating, or act ill and depressed. Among the problems reduced or eliminated by neutering male pets are:
Territoriality and aggression, including urinating to mark territory, and fighting to defend it.

This vase features a decoration of pine cones and needles that is both conventionalized and painterly. The bold lines and abstracted graphic quality are a slight departure from the finer, more detailed ornamentation that Massier typically applied. The subject matter echoes the shape of the vase, creating a very harmonious piece overall. Maurice Alexander for C Massier. Marks: painted signature, Golfe Juan, AM, and artist's name incised.
About Clément Massier
Born into a family of ceramists, Clément Massier took an interest in the business from an early age. In 1884, after years of work, study, and travel, he relocated his share of the family firm to Golfe-Juan and began producing Hispano-Moresque-influenced pottery, with silver and copper oxide glazes made iridescence in a smoky kiln. Following the arrival Lucien Lévy-Dhurmer in 1887, Massier introduced fiery luster glazes enriched with etching and painting, applying them to forms ranging from hand-built individuality to slip-cast uniformity. He was soon in command of a busy factory and a showroom that boasted an elite international clientele. [Source: Jason Jacques]
French, 1845-1917, Vallauris, France, based in Golfe-Juan, France

Young Leaders Helping Others
In K-Kids our children are learning leadership through service. They're taking on the responsibility of running a K-Kids club as they plan and participate in community service projects. In big and small ways, they're changing the world around them. But the most significant change happens in the kids themselves.

'To persons in health, said she, this sight may be shocking; and the preparation, and my unconcernedness in it, may appear affected: but to me, who have had so gradual a weaning-time from the world, and so much reason not to love it, I must say, I dwell on, I indulge, (and, strictly speaking, I enjoy,) the thoughts of death. For, believe me,' [looking stedfastly at the awful receptacle,] 'believe what at this instant I feel to be most true, That there is such a vast superiority of weight and importance in the thought of death, and its hoped-for happy consequences, that it in a manner annihilates all other considerations and concerns. Believe me, my good friends, it does what nothing else can do: it teaches me, by strengthening in me the force of the divinest example, to forgive the injuries I have received; and shuts out the remembrance of past evils from my soul.'
And now let me ask thee, Lovelace, Dost thou think that, when the time shall come that thou shalt be obliged to launch into the boundless ocean of eternity, thou wilt be able (any more than poor Belton) to act thy part with such true heroism, as this sweet and tender blossom of a woman has manifested, and continues to manifest!
Oh! no! it cannot be!—And why can't it be?—The reason is evident: she has no wilful errors to look back upon with self-reproach—and her mind is strengthened by the consolations which flow from that religious rectitude which has been the guide of all her actions; and which has taught her rather to choose to be a sufferer than an aggressor!
This was the support of the divine Socrates, as thou hast read. When led to execution, his wife lamenting that he should suffer being innocent, Thou fool, said he, wouldst thou wish me to be guilty!
Mr. Belford, to Robert Lovelace,
Friday, Sept. 1.
How astonishing, in the midst of such affecting scenes, is thy mirth on what thou callest my own aspirations! Never, surely, was there such another man in this world, thy talents and thy levity taken together!— Surely, what I shall send thee with this will affect thee. If not, nothing can, till thy own hour come: and heavy will then thy reflections be!
I am glad, however, that thou enablest me to assure the lady that thou wilt no more molest her; that is to say, in other words, that, after having ruined her fortunes, and all her worldly prospects, thou wilt be so gracious, as to let her lie down and die in peace.
Thy giving up to poor Belton's sister the little legacy, and thy undertaking to make Mowbray and Tourville follow thy example, are, I must say to thy honour, of a piece with thy generosity to thy Rose-bud and her Johnny; and to a number of other good actions in pecuniary matters: although thy Rose-bud's is, I believe, the only instance, where a pretty woman was concerned, of such a disinterested bounty.

Much like at Jimmy John's, smells at today's Holiday Chocolate Festival at The Broadmoor (1 Lake Ave., holiday.chocolate-festival.org) are free. So are the live music, chocolate and wine demos, and a talk by chocolate therapist Julie Pech. If you want to get your grubby little mouth on some sweet treats, though, sampling tickets are 10 for $10 on site. Better yet, considering that there'll be more than 30 vendors at this 11-to-6 event, you can pre-buy 25 tickets for $20 on the website. And because cacao-based confections aren't just for adults, bring the kids to participate in the pudding-eating contest at 3. — Kirsten Akens

The causes with the new maximize of foreclosures are wide ranging and the main topic of debate between financial experts, the Treasury Office along with the loaning industry. The good news is that as foreclosures continue to keep surge, so do the prospects to purchase them.
Why pick property foreclosures?
Committing to home foreclosures could be a great funds creator when compared to all the different rei niche categories. Even though investing in foreclosures ends in significant gains if you choose the best dwelling, there are a variety of other factors to consider to help you stay away from sacrificing your money. For example, you will discover laws and regulations that fluctuate from state to state and local to state that govern mortgage foreclosures and in case you disobey these laws and regulations, inadvertently or with your knowledge, critical implications will abide by.
Obviously –
Foreclosures is defined as the action of a financial institution taking away the equity (property) that was pledged because of the lender before the loan, specific within the promissory take note and house loan or action of confidence. The main method starts if the operator cannot make payments for some reason and non-payments to the property finance loan, inducing the lender giving the primary mail requesting payment come in as soon as possible.
Now, when the homeowner are not able to maintenance your situation by paying the lender any cash that is certainly then payable or decided upon, the home and property may make its way to open retail in which it can be available to the greatest prospective buyer at the sheriff's or trustee's sale made. Many property investors (and hopeful buyers) have a look at paying for property foreclosures to be a painless solution to grow their riches and/or selection however they typically are not aware of the opportunity issues that wait for them. Comprehend at the moment that figuring out the direction to go in addition to what not to do will save you a lot of dollars and severe headaches as you development into the playing field of committing to property foreclosures.
Fortunately that there are constantly adequate bedroom for another new trader to initiate the overall game so avoid being fearful end up in.
A certain Inchesreally don'tHalf inch –
Lots of house research lessons available today and lots of infomercial " experts " suggest having a technique that just about always leads to devastation is getting a property foreclosure residence after which letting your home here we are at the prior homeowner assured that they can rapidly repurchase it for a higher price in the near future (ie rent solution method).
Understand or know that among the list of top pitfalls an investor will take is allowing the previous owner keep coming back and get back their residence as they eventually claim they misconstrued anything you acquired specified, considering your financial transaction was only that loan and they were not basically marketing the house for your requirements. Poor quality.
Think about this for the small. Would you really want a renter in your property featuring a reputation as being a credit ratings lawbreaker and who constantly would not spend their charges? Obviously would you. Having said that, several novice and also expert foreclosed buyers try this very same element everyday and often fork out a top price tag for the process, sometimes dropping their financial commitment totally when a evaluate expresses that the purchase was without a doubt a usurious loan instead of an alternative to repurchase.
A lot of distress –
Options study everything about real estate foreclosures, you have no doubt listened to the words: shorter sales, REO, pre-property foreclosure, write-up-property foreclosure, deed-in-lieu, discounting the mortgage, for example. Obtain it crystal clear in your head right this moment that you won't need to know all of the information on each and every possible getting process to enable substantial sales purchasing home foreclosures.
What you do need is simply to understand the basics, get several discounts under your strip after which it opt for a couple innovative strategies to discover and apply in your markets. Continuous studying will certainly bring about inability because you wind up constantly examining but never actually executing.
As being a property moves along from the different levels of real estate foreclosure, you can also make a profitable bargain occur in between your homeowner in default have the option to hold out so you can choose the house with the retail or perhaps try to acquire following the sell as well as a great many other modern-day strategies.
If you intend to get real estate for the consumer market, recognize that using some claims, legal issues packages some period for real estate foreclosures to get finalized known as a redemption time period. If you're taking into consideration getting real estate foreclosures, it is hugely recommended so you might see whether and in what way this regulation will possibly has an effect on the title and possession of the property nearer your home. You could possibly turn out imagining you have the exact property, much more point it is possible only a short-term nanny for your longer time period.
It's worth noting that while doing so you might have paid a cheque as being the profitable bidder at the open retail, the property owner may be exercising a great deal with one more trader or promoting the house diversely devoid of you being aware of what is going on. This could certainly naturally get this amazing affect whatever you can to do for the real estate while in the payoff period, although it is unfilled before the sell. You could get by yourself investing in house foreclosures and the elimination of dollars into them only to start getting rid of every one of the income you imagined you'd coming over to you.
Inside and outside rapidly –
When you're selecting a home foreclosure, step one is to determine what you are doing together with the home. Do you plan on selling (wholesaling) it to get a income? Or will you be likely to maintain it to remain as being a leasing? This may know very well what place you need to watch in when browsing the kind of property foreclosure properties you're interested in going after.
Deciding on a residence to flip requires some very important study on your part. It's actually not commonly pretty as easy as each of the fact demonstrates help it become in the market to be nonetheless it isn't nuclear physics both. You can definitely find a lot only to find out no household has sold for the reason that town for 8-yr within the cost you will want to build your the bare minimum earnings.
Will you be fine with retaining the home and property for how much time you will need to trade? Are you able to also give the income taxes and insurance coverage about the house? Will your home be governed by vandalism if this continues to be unfilled and, if so, have the amount of money stores to pay for the problems? If you don't study your sector and understand that the reason a real difference in between the best value and also a awful bargain, you'll probably be pleasantly surprised to learn that your particular quick flip expenditure may become a property. Will it generate a great hire?
Remember if you are purchasing mortgage foreclosures, the end result is often the net profit. Dimension is important in that regard, bigger is best. A superb suggestion to check out is always to only think about buying a foreclosed residence for those who can make no less than a 30Per cent earnings it doesn't matter what happens. Doing this, you will never need to fear if you should come up with a cope or not.
Certainly some home foreclosures brings an extremely bigger earnings than these. Some finding out aspects will be the area, recent profits, the industry benefit of the house, existing situation in the property or home and also the worth. Once you learn the basic principles of property foreclosure investing in your distinct location along with residence prices, repairs, discussions essentials, etc, making money online charge and potential profit will dramatically improve.
The tip will justify the indicates –
Understand that once you discover your neighborhood market for committing to real estate foreclosures, you can find oneself cautiously observing which components are walked to home foreclosure and ways to potentially make possibly large profit bargains happen regularly. It'll all set out to turn into second nature.
Web 2 . and having acquainted with other traders close to you as you return possible qualified prospects that connect with one another's shopping for considerations is important so as to make your buyer's list. Bear in mind you never must do all all by yourself and you will try really hard to search out another person more experienced than yourself to unit if you're just start paying for real estate foreclosures.
