Tired Federer taking indefinite rest after pulling from StockholmOctober 2nd, 2008 - 3:36 pm ICT by IANS
Stockholm, Oct 2 (DPA) Roger Federer has pulled the plug on next week's Stockholm Open and perhaps beyond, saying that a long season has taken a toll on his fitness.The Swiss world number two had been due to headline for the first time at the indoor event won in the past by John McEnroe and Boris Becker.
"2008 has been a tough year for me as I was always playing catch up after being diagnosed with mononucleosis at the beginning of the year," said Federer Wednesday, who played just under a fortnight ago in the Davis Cup for Switzerland after winning the US Open.
"I feel fortunate to be healthy again, but I want to remain at the top of the game for many more years to come and go after the number one ranking again.
"In order to do that, I need to get a proper rest and get strong again so that I am 100 per cent fit for the remainder of the year or next year.
"At this point, I am not sure when I will be ready to play again, but I hope to be back at some point before the end of the year," said Federer.
Tournament officials absorbed the body blow at the box office well enough, citing an event starting on Monday which is now headed by Argentina's world number seven David Nalbandian, former world number two Tommy Haas of Germany and Croatia's Mario Ancic.

Yes, No or Wait – Are These the Possible Answers to our Prayers?
From the book, Cracks in the Foundation.
The Answer to Your Prayer Will be Yes, No or Wait
The Background of this Phrase
This is not a specific scripture passage, but is a common saying in Christianity.
The Positive
James 4:3 says this: "You ask and do not receive, because you ask amiss, that you may spend it on your pleasures." Here is an example where the answer to prayer is no. There are other situations where the answer is delayed because there is a special timing for its manifestation.
The Crack
We will have a crack in our spiritual foundation if we do not have confidence that our prayers will be answered. I John 5:14,15 says we are to have assurance of answered prayer because of a knowing of the will of God. Effective prayer is based largely on God's promises. "For all the promises of God in Him (Jesus) are Yes, and in Him Amen, to the glory of God through us" (2 Corinthians 1:20). Faith believes we receive the answer at the time of prayer. "Therefore I say to you, whatever things you ask when you pray, believe that you receive them, and you will have them" (Mark 11:24). Our belief that we have the answer to our prayer before seeing it is the key to seeing it. If we think that each of our prayers could have a "no" or "wait" answer, then we will be unable to "believe before we see," and we will constantly be passive in prayer (because we will conclude that unchanging circumstances are God's "no" or God's "wait").
Concluding Thoughts
The immature Christian will have more no answers to prayer because of a lack of knowledge of God's will. The key thing to remember is this: we cannot conclude that the lack of seeing the answer to prayer means that God has said "no" or "wait." To do so would create a huge crack in our faith foundation that would rob us from the experience of knowing that we have things before they have manifested.

Selena Gomez: Did Kris Jenner Tell Her To Lose Weight?
Selena Gomez has reportedly enlisted Kris Jenner to be her new manager, and it looks like she may be giving Selena advice on how to spice up her image. But did Kris tell Selena to tone up and lose weight?
Kris Jenner, 58, has created an incredibly successful empire by becoming the ultimate manager. However, is she being too hard on Selena Gomez, 22? Kris has reportedly told Selena to lose weight after supposedly taking the role of the starlet's manager!
Selena Gomez: Did Kris Jenner Tell Her To Lose Weight?
"Kris wants Selena to harden up her body and get a Kate Hudson six-pack and has signed her up for Barry's Bootcamp, which Kim [Kardashian West] does," OK! Magazine reports.
If this is true, Kris may want to take a step back. Selena is perfect just the way she is!
"She's [Kris] giving her tips and advice on everything from surgery to body hair & Selena's completely in awe."
Since their limo ride together after returning from Paris Fashion Week, word about Kris becoming Selena's new manager has come up again.
"She's really stepped into Selena's departing mum's shoes and is mentoring like she was her own daughter," the outlet reports. "[Kris] thinks Selena's got a huge amount of talent and plans on making a ton of money out of managing her."
Selena Gomez: Her Mom Worried About Kris Jenner's Influence
Selena's mom, Mandy Teefey, had served as her manager until April 2014. Now that Selena has struck up a relationship with Kris, Selena's mom is worried about Kris's influence on her.
"Mandy understand Selena's decision to upgrade her management," a source told Star. "But she worried about Kris turning Selena into a trashy Kardashian."
Mandy even thinks that Selena is "under her spell."
"On the rare occasion when Mandy does talk to her daughter, it's 'Kris says this' and 'Kris thinks that' — Selena is completely under her spell."
HollywoodLifers, do you think Kris told Selena to lose weight? Do you think this reported partnership is a good idea? Let us know!

Good Evening Everyone!
I have been on anti-depressants for since about
1997, there has been so many advances, new meds & now they have taken me "slowly" off Zoloft & Clonazepam, I am currently on Nuerontin & Lexapro. The Nuerontin is for pain management (fibro) & anxiety, which seems to be one of the better meds ((FOR ME)) with less side effects. I have in the past understood more about
the side effects of coming off of an anti-depressant w/o tapering off, but never having so many starting one. I have been on Prozac, Zoloft, Wellbutrin and it just seems like the effects are weighing out the possibility of me remaining on this med, since the minor side effects are what I feel are also counter-acting the Nuerontin's work on my pain management.
My question is the Lexapro. I have been started on Lexapro about
2 weeks ago. Has anyone here had any success with this new med? With or Without Nuerontin?
I am confused about
this...is it normal for some & not others? I want to stay well...any help or info (I have been to the websites, talked with my family doc, pain management docs/nurses & psych. doctors about
this med & all say that it may not be for me...well DUH!!) But I would appreciate some feedback from those who are or have been on this med. Both positive & negative.
Thank you.

Hi Tracey!
I have been taking Lexapro for about
3 years. It has worked very well for me. I have occassionally (with dr's approval) tapered off this drug to see how things would go, but after 5 or 6 weeks, I realize that I really do need it. I also took it with neurontin for a while and had no trouble with the combination.
I hope this will be a good combination for you!

Thank you Rosie I appreciate your input.
I guess what I really am hoping that the lexapro can be used at bedtime. I often took my anti-d's at bedtime, but for some reason my doc wanted me to take them both (nuerontin & lexapro) in the morning together w/ a light breakfast. I take Trazadone for my occasional bouts of insomnia. But that I have been on for a nearly 3 months. I don't take it every single night. There will be weeks that go by & I don't need it. Then there are several nights in a row that I do need it.
I just guess that I will also call my doc again today to see about
holding off until tonight to take it. I think that I have to allow my body to get used to that med. But at the same time, I don't like having the flu-like symptoms in the mornings.
I can sleep through them allowing my body to adjust. But I will still appreciate any other ideas that may help me through this early stage of med adjustments.
Thank you all!
Mrs. Tracey C.

I was on Lexapro for about
a year and it wasn't working great. I was switched to Celexa (in the morning) and take Remeron (at night) with it.

I've been on 10mg of Lexapro for about
3 months now. My wife says I have more energy then she's ever seen in me after 10 years of marriage. I do feel better and have a more positive outlook. Also, my anxiety is much better. I started taking it at dinner time and had problems sleeping. I switched to morning time about
a month and a half ago which allows me to sleep better and it also seems to be a little more effective for me. I also have Crohn's and have been on Imuran for about
6 months which is helping with SOME of my Crohn's symptoms and has made a big difference in my blood chemistry which may be contributing to my energy level.

I am on 30 mg Lexapro...along with 100 mg Topamax...I cant go on Wellbutrin cause other family members have committed suicide on Wellbutrin. I liked Lexapro at first works great for anxiety but now crying and sadness and thoughts of death have returned. So not sure it is the answer. I have intestinal Spirochetosis.

Hi Jec003, Welcome to the Depression Forum. I am so sorry about
your family members that have passed. If you have returning feelings of depression then you really need to contact your physician for a medication change. Take care....

I was on Lexapro for a few yrs before the Dr added Topax to my daily dose too. I love Lexapro. It is the only anti depression med that I have not had any side effects from - maybe just afew pounds each yr (or could be normal weight gain) I had to switch anti depress meds due to insurance reasons to prozac. 2 months later I am back on Lexapro, been back on it about
3 weeks now. No side affects, my appitite is back. My moods are back to normal. I care about
things again & am getting the energy I had before back. I like to take it at night with my Topamax cuz I seem to sleep the best then. I am also on 10 - 15mg of Lexapro. I seem to do better on the lower doses of anti depress meds then on the higher doses. The higher doses is when what I call my "crazy thoughts" come back.

Hey...my "first" depressive dissorder was mild..and i was given 10mg of Lexapro for that. It worked well for a few month. But this year in March I was hospitalized for severe Depression/Anxiety. Obviously the Lexapro wasnt working for me then. Now I'm on Zoloft and Adivan. Lexapro did seem to do the job for my stint with mild depression. But something triggered a really awful episode, so the Lexapro didnt seem to work anymore.
Hopefully it works well for you.

Icon design:
Icon design is the process of designing a graphic symbol that represents some real, fantasy or abstract motive, entity or action. In the context of software applications, an icon often represents a program, a function, data or a collection of data on a computer system.
Icon designs can be simple, with flat two-dimensional drawing or a black silhouette, or complex, presenting a combination of graphic design elements such as one or more linear and radial color gradients, projected shadows, contour shades, and three-dimensional perspective effects.
Many modern icons have a maximum size of 1024 by 1024 pixels or greater. The challenge of icon design is to create an image that is communicative, beautiful, and understandable, at every size from this maximum resolution down to the minimum resolution of 16 by 16 pixels. Many icon formats allow one icon to include hinting to ensure visual clarity at smaller resolutions, or even completely different subsidiary images for smaller sizes (for instance, a keyboard at larger sizes, and a single key cap at smaller ones).
I will share very specific, actionable suggestions for how the designer can improve the icons.
The benefits of various grid sizes would best be handled in a separate article. For our purposes, we'll work with a 32 × 32-pixel grid. Our grid also contains some basic guides to help us create the underlying form of each icon design.
(Here, we see a 32 × 32-pixel grid, with a 2-pixel border (or "no-go zone") for breathing room.)
Part of the form of an icon is the general shape and orientation. If you draw a line around the outside edges of an icon — the bounding box, if you will — the shape will generally be a square, circle, triangle, horizontal rectangle, vertical rectangle or diagonal rectangle.
Circular icons are centered in the grid and will usually touch all four of the outermost edges of the content area, without going into the no-go zone. Note that a common reason for breaking the no-go zone rule is if some accent or minor element needs to extend beyond the circle in order to maintain the integrity of the design, as demonstrated below.
(alignment of circular icons with the grid and key lines.)
Square icons are also centered in the grid but do not, in most cases, extend all the way to the outermost edges of the content area. To maintain a consistent visual weight with circular and triangular icons, most rectangular and square icons will align to the key line in the middle (the orange area in the image below). When to align to each key line is determined by the visual weight of the icon itself; getting a feel for when to use which size just takes practice. Look at the square layout image below. The three concentric squares mentioned above are shown in light blue, orange and light green.
(The alignment and sizing of round and square icons relative to the grid.)
Inside the 32-pixel square, you will notice the 20 × 28-pixel vertical and horizontal rectangles. We loosely follow these rectangles for icons that are horizontal or vertical in orientation and try to make the dimensions of any icons oriented thus, to match the 20 × 28-pixel dimensions of these rectangles.
(The alignment and sizing of vertically and horizontally oriented icons relative to the grid .)
Diagonally oriented icons are aligned to the edges of the circular content area, as seen in the image below. Notice that the outermost points of the saw are approximately aligned to the edges of the circle. This is an area where you do not need to be exact; close is good enough.
(The alignment and sizing of a diagonally oriented icon relative to the grid.)
Remember that you do not need to follow the grid and guides exactly every time. The grid is there to help you make the icons consistent, but if you have to choose between making an icon great and following the rules, break the rules.
Start your icon designs by roughly outlining the major shapes with simple circles, rectangles and triangles. Even if an icon is going to end up being mostly organic in nature, start with the shape tools in Adobe Illustrator. When it comes to making icons, especially for smaller sizes on screen, the slight variations in edges that result from hand drawing will make an icon look less refined. Starting with basic geometric shapes will make the edges more precise (especially along curves) and will allow you to adjust the relative scale of elements within a design quickly, as well as ensure that you follow the grid and form.
As much as possible without making the design look overly mechanical and boring, corners, curves and angles should be mathematically precise. In other words, follow the numbers and don't try to eyeball or freehand it when it comes to these details. Inconsistency in these elements can diminish the quality of an icon.
Angles –
In most cases, stick to 45-degree angles, or multiples thereof. Anti-aliasing on a 45-degree angle is evenly stepped (the active pixels are aligned end to end), so the result is crisp, and the perfect diagonal of this angle is an easily recognized pattern, which the human eye likes very much. This recognizable pattern builds consistency across an icon set and unity within a single icon. If your design dictates that you must break this rule, try to do so in halves (22.5 degrees, 11.25, etc.) or in multiples of 15 degrees. Each situation is different, so decide case by case. The benefit of using halves of 45 degrees is that the stepping in the anti-aliasing will still be fairly even.
Curves –
One of the most noticeable areas that can degrade the quality of an icon and that can mean the difference between professional- and amateur-looking is less-than-perfect curves. Whereas the human eye can detect very slight variations in precision, hand-eye coordination cannot always achieve a high level of precision. Rely on shape tools and numbers to create curves as much as possible, rather than drawing them by hand. When you do need to draw a curve manually, use Adobe Illustrator's (or your vector software's) constraint modifier key (the Shift key) or, even better, use Vector Scribe and Ink Scribe by Astute Graphics for even more refined control over bezier curves.
As we see in the "before" image above, hand-drawing lines creates irregular curves that detract from the quality of the design.
Corners –
A common rounded-corner (or radius) value is 2 pixels. In a 32 × 32-pixel icon, a 2-pixel radius is large enough to be clearly seen as rounded but does not soften the corners so much as to change the personality of the design (giving that "bubble" look). The value you choose will depend on the personality you want to give the design. Whether you use rounded corners is an aesthetic decision to be made considering the overall aesthetics of the set.
Pixel-Perfection –
Pixel-perfect alignment is important when designing for small sizes. Anti-aliasing on the edges of an icon at small sizes can make the icon appear fuzzy. Space between lines that don't align to the pixel grid will be anti-aliased and appear blurry. Aligning the icon to the pixel grid will make the edges perfectly crisp on straight lines and more crisp on precise angles and curves.
As mentioned, 45-degree angles are best (after straight lines) because the pixels used to define the angle are stacked, or stepped, end to end perfectly diagonally. The same is true of corners and curves: The more mathematically precise they are, the crisper the anti-aliasing will be. Note, however, that pixel-perfection is less relevant, at least for anti-aliasing, at larger sizes and on higher-resolution screens, such as "Retina" displays.
Line Weights –
When it comes to line weights, two are ideal, but three are sometimes necessary. The goal is to provide visual hierarchy and variety, without introducing too much variety and thus destroying a set's consistency. More than three and a set can lose its cohesion. The benefit of 2- and 4-pixel line weights is that they are multiples of 2 and, therefore, easily scale up and down in even increments. In most cases, avoid very thin lines, especially in glyph and flat icons. Unless you are deliberately creating a "line style" icons, rely on light and shadow, rather than lines, to define shape.
(This iPhone icon demonstrates consistent line weights.)
Icons should quickly communicate an object, idea or action. Too many small details will introduce complexity, which can make the icon less recognizable, especially at smaller sizes. The level of detail you include in a single icon or set of icons is also an important aspect of aesthetic unity and recognizability. A good rule of thumb for determining the right level of detail in an icon or set is to include the bare minimum of details needed to make the meaning clear.
The number of talented designers who are creating high-quality icon sets, many of which are available for free, seems to be growing every day. Unfortunately, a lot of those designers rely too heavily on trends or the styles of the most popular designers. As creative professionals, we should be looking outside of the icon industry, to architecture, typography, industrial design, psychology, nature and any other area in which we can find inspiration. Because so many icon sets look alike these days, making your designs unique is ever more important.
I have shared the fundamentals of how to create premium quality icons. These fundamentals are technical skills; anyone can learn and master them with practice. Remember that to create better icons, start from the general (form) and work
toward the specific (recognizability). And keep your icons internally consistent, as well as consistent across the set, by paying attention to the shared elements (the aesthetic unity) of the icon or set. Once you have mastered the technical fundamentals, you can focus your energy on what makes an icon truly stand out: your unique creative vision.

My self-published book is in paperback and hardcover formats. I know the hardcovers are more expensive but I think they are more impressive, and might garner more attention from reviewers. I am looking at this from a business perspective – ROI. What has been your experience?
Hi Bob,
Yes, hardcovers are nice but I think the expense will outweigh any benefit. Even paperbacks that get nice reviews may not lead to many, if any, book sales. Please see:
Throwing Away Your Money on Review Copies?
Many POD publishers would LOVE to convince you that buying a pile of hardcovers for book reviewers will lead to significantly increased book sales but that's just not the case. They're just trying to get more money out of you. At BookLocker.com, we don't do business that way. 🙂

Thread starter #1
The purest form of price discovery is perfect knowledge of the last price something was traded at, how much people are willing to buy at, and how much people are willing to sell at.
This initiative is a player-run enterprise which is designed to be more accessible and much more competitive than the traditional broker system in Nave.
The way it works is relatively straight-forward. Gold or commodities are deposited and credited to an account. The account holder will be able to do the following:
- Place an order to buy a commodity at a particular price
- Place an order to sell a commodity at a particular price
- Fill somebody else's order to buy a commodity at a particular price
- Fill somebody else's order to sell a commodity at a particular price
Anybody who fills an order on the exchange is considered 'removing liquidity' from the exchange.
This is important in the fee structure, which will still remain competitive.
There are no costs to deposit gold and commodities into one's account on the exchange. This can, currently, be done from any blue town in Myrland.
To place an order to buy or sell will also incur no costs, you merely require that the gold or commodity has been cleared into your account, to change the order also incurs no fee, either. for example, if you put a sell order for 1 stack of steel at 300 gold, you may change this to 280 gold at no extra cost.
Once any part of an order is filled, then a trade has occurred, which incurs a fee. The overall fee is 1% and this is divided up as follows:
- The one who added liquidity is charged 0.3%
- The one who removed liquidity is charged 0.7%
The reason for this division is that we felt those that added liquidity deserve to be rewarded as it provides a necessary service to all Mortals.
Although the exchange itself is virtual, in nature, for accounting purposes, all stock and money will be held in Bakti.
Should an account holder wish to withdraw gold or commodities, there would be no charge if the amount was withdrawn in Bakti. Should the account holder wish to receive the gold or goods in another city the following transfer services can be used:
At the moment this will be, mostly, an experiment to test the waters. I anticipate that the uptake for this idea is going to be slow, if at all, and so I do not feel this warrants a website yet, although, ideally, this is the direction I would like to head in. At the moment I will handle everything via PMs on the forums.
The PMs will be used to perform the following actions:
- Organise deposits and withdrawals
- Provide statements of account
- Place buy orders
- Place sell orders
- Fill buy orders
- Fill sell orders
Advantages to the Current Broker System
There are a number of advantages we feel traders would gain from using this service rather than the in-game broker system:
1 - Transparency
All orders will be listed on the orderbook, so that people can see at any one time how much liquidity exists on the exchange. My intention is to collect pricing data and have this publicly accessible as a price graph so traders can see the trends in price differences
2 - Accuracy
Using the current system the people who place buy orders can only place it to the nearest 1 gold per stack. This means that the level of competition is extremely low. This exchange will operate to the 8th decimal place for stacks and gold (fees will be rounded up).
3 - Cheaper
Of course, placing buy orders is free and filling them is free using the current system, but for sellers the current system incurs a 10% fee and with certain specialist knowledge can be brought no lower than 5%. This exchange charges less than 1% and is available to anybody so there is no requirement to waste primary points on the negotiation-based skills
4 - Ease
Although placing buy orders are free using the current system, it can be a laborious task as the maximum you can place on the broker is 8 stacks per order. This clogs up the broker with hundreds of orders from the same person who is looking to buy in bulk volume and is also time-consuming for them placing it up in the first place, too.
5 - Fungible
Buy orders can be partially filled without problem and so are fungible. However, currently, when placing sell orders, they must be filled in its entirety or not at all, meaning the desired, exact, quantity may not be available
6 - Longevity
Again, buy orders do not have a lifetime, whereas sell order can only be placed up on the broker for a maximum of 10 days. The fee is paid immediately, and the item may not even get sold, so there is a risk. This exchange only charges for when trades are executed, listing is free.
Well that is about it for this. At the time of writing we feel that the most liquid commodity out there is steel, and that so many other commodities derive their value from the value of steel. So, for now, this exchange will deal, exclusively in steel. Hopefully as the exchange becomes more liquid, I can draw in traders and speculators alike.
7 - Reliability
The current broker system has been known to be riddled with defects (all being fixed by SV, of course with our support) But nevertheless, there may be risk of placing 1000 gold in buy orders for steel, and having the broker swallow your money, but place none of the buy orders.
The mail and trade systems appear to be functioning correctly, and this would be the basis of deposits and withdrawals where all trading takes place virtually and is manually checked to ensure the data remains with as much integrity as possible.
May the Profit be with you all!

One of my favorite pictures from our recent trip to Harry Potter World, and one of my favorite J. K. Rowling quotes.
Thank you for helping me light up the world, one act of kindness at a time.
Happy Halloween!
One of my favorite pictures from our recent trip to Harry Potter World, and one of my favorite J. K. Rowling quotes.
Thank you for helping me light up the world, one act of kindness at a time.
Happy Halloween!
So … Halloween candy. I love it.
One of my favorite childhood memories is coming home from Trick-or-Treating, eagerly spreading my candy out on the floor, and beginning The Great Candy Exchange with my siblings. And now, as a mom, I love to watch as my kids do the same. (And I might or might not – but definitely do – issue a Mommy Tax, to be paid in the form of chocolate.)
But for kids with food allergies (and according to FoodAllergy.org, that's one in every 13 kids in America), it's a little tougher. To look through your Halloween candy and realize that you can't eat most of it … well, that's a bummer. And while there's not much I can do long-term to make life easier for kids with food allergies, I was thrilled to find a way to make Halloween a bit more magical for these kids.
The Teal Pumpkin Project began three years ago. The idea is simple: put a teal pumpkin on your porch, or tape a sign onto your front door. This tells parents that you have non-food prizes to hand out. And kids with food allergies (or diabetes, or other dietary restrictions) get a small prize instead. Fun. Easy. Cheap. What's not to love?
If you'd like to participate this year, there are several ways you can do so!
– Spread information in your community. Share this post with your neighbors. Print off a sign explaining what the Teal Pumpkin Project is and place it somewhere prominent. Start chatting with people and spread the news! Since this is project is new, most people (including parents of kids with allergies) haven't heart of it.
– Print off, or paint, a teal pumpkin. I went to Michaels to buy some spray paint and was able to find my cute already-teal pumpkin for under $5.
– Hand out prizes! This can be easy and cheap. Glow sticks, small party favors (mini Slinkies, whistles, etc.), bubbles, stickers, or (if you'd like to spend a bit more) small cars or dollar store dolls. There are tons more ideas on the Teal Pumpkin Project's website.
That's it! Such an easy way to make Halloween safer and more fun for the kids in your neighborhood who have food allergies. Are you in?
If you've been around here for a while, you know how much I love Operation Christmas Child. This year, for my 32nd birthday, I will be packing 32 shoeboxes to donate. And since I am lucky enough to live near a processing center, I will be able to volunteer as a shoebox inspector. Which sounds boring, but it is honestly one of the highlights of the holiday season for me. A room full of people, who love the same thing I love, all united to serve children we have never even met … it's magical.
Last year, I learned something new. Many of the shoeboxes that are donated have items that need to be removed because they are not on the approved list. (Mostly things that might leak or delay the boxes as they go through cutoms, like liquids and food items.) And since it would be really sad for a kid to open their shoebox gift and find it half empty, the processing centers accept donations of "filler items" – things that the volunteers can quickly grab to add to the boxes to make sure that they're all full. So this year, I had a crazy idea. Why not make some extra school supply kits? Specifically, in addition to the 32 I was making for my own boxes, I wanted to make 68 more, for a grand total of 100. It was a huge goal, and I wasn't sure if I'd be able to do it. But I was … and I did it for $100!
Now, this isn't going to be a post that you can read and say, "I can go to that right this minute!" This project was many months in the making. But I'm hoping that I will give you some ideas that can benefit you for next year … and maybe even an idea or two that you can use to donate a little bit extra this holiday season!
So here are my frugal shopping tips:
So that's it – and look at this beautiful pile of school supply kits. I am so grateful for the opportunity to be able to give a small gift to 100 kids that will hopefully be both helpful and fun, and to have been able to stick to my budget. This has been so much fun to do! Now time to move on the the next stage – shoebox wrapping. Wish me luck!

How many times have you waited on hold with customer support? How many times have you recited an account number, re-explained your plan and information and generally wasted your time? How many times have you asked yourself if there's a better way?
Well, there is a better way. That's us, specifically the cellular customer service that comes with our cellular expense management services. We don't just do the math to save you money. We want you to feel better about your cell phone plans, regardless of carrier. That's why we feature dedicated customer support. Let's look at five reasons why using us as a third party beats using standard carrier support.
We Fix Billing Errors: That's part of our cellular expense management service, but it's also a customer support issue. Have you ever tried to contest a suspicious bill with your provider? If so, you know how annoying it can be. We not only fix errors, but we find them for you in the first place.
We Know You: Tired of answering the same questions over and over again? Once you hire use to manage your cellular service you won't have to. Our representatives get a chance to know you and don't have to run you through a one-size-fits-all set of technical questions.
Multi-Carrier Support: You never have to call more than one number. We'll deal with every carrier and service you use on your behalf. And since you'll have a telecom expert dealing with carriers on your behalf, you don't have to worry about calls being diverted or stalled. We don't allow it. If there's a solution, we find it.
We Work for You – Not Them: Carrier-based support focuses on minimizing their cost. Our service focuses on getting you the best support. The difference is a simple and powerful one. We'll pursue options like replacement handsets and service credits that carriers are reluctant to provide.
You Save Staff Time and Hassle: When your staff spends time on hold with a carrier that's time they aren't spending moving your business forward. Sign up with us and replace 20 minutes on hold (and then answering useless questions) with a five minute chat with someone who knows you, wants to help you and fights to get you the best deal. Which do you think is better for your business?
Did you know that you can get this at NO extra cost compared to what you're paying now? As part of our telecom expense management services all of these benefits are part of a self-funded service. That means you only pay a portion of what you save – if you don't save, you don't pay. Get a free cost audit to start, and see how much better your savings and service can get.

It has happened to us all....where the meal doesn't turn out quite right. You know what Im talking about. Well lets just say there was a "situation" this last weekend at my parents where this may or may not have happened. There may or may not have been a bit of a grill fire. The only words to describe the "situation" are just a few direct quotes that I wrote down as this all unfolded.
"This isn't how I envisioned it...." - Mother Hen
"I love watching all of your faces as you try this meal" -Turkey Tom
< Mother Hen did the UNTHINKABLE!!! She actually spit out chewed up food back onto her plate! Who else in the world has seen their Mother do this???? NO ONE!!!! No one ever in the history of time has seen their Mother behave that way! This was my single most favorite moment of the "situation.">
"Maybe this will get me out of grilling for the rest of my life." - The Rooster King
" I need to scrape my tongue." - Mother Hen
" Im so glad this meal is over." - The Rooster King
" I've gotta get this off my mind." - The Rooster King
" What's Dad doing out there??" - Me: Spicey Chicken
"Sulking...." - Turkey Tom
Need I say more??????

What Baylor & Notre Dame Can Learn From Each Other
December 1995By David Solomon
David Solomon, a Protestant, is Associate Professor of Philosophy at Notre Dame.
I was an undergraduate at Baylor University in the early 1960s and returned there as a visiting faculty member in the philosophy department for the fall semester of 1994. Since I have spent most of the intervening years on the philosophy faculty at Notre Dame, I had occasion while at Baylor to reflect on the similarities and differences in the approaches of these two great Christian universities to the secularizing influences that have transformed so many formerly Christian colleges and universities in this country. There are lively discussions going on at both Notre Dame and Baylor about these issues, and my reflections here were originally prepared for a group of faculty members and administrators at Baylor who meet regularly to discuss these issues. Since the threat of secularization is clearly much on the mind of administrators and teachers at all of those religiously affiliated universities continuing to maintain strong ties to their founding religious traditions, I thought these reflections might be of more general interest.
It is important to remind ourselves of how few such universities remain. If we restrict our discussion to institutions of higher education with a realistic chance of becoming (or remaining) research universities of the first rank, there are surely only a handful. The processes of secularization, as a number of recent studies have emphasized, have taken less of a toll on Catholic universities. Georgetown, Fordham, Notre Dame, and Boston College have all maintained rich ties to their Catholic roots, but even at these universities much concern has been expressed in recent years about creeping secularization. Among Protestant universities, the picture of course is much bleaker. Secularization in the world of Protestant universities arrived earlier and hit harder. The great Methodist universities -- Duke, Northwestern, Boston University, Southern California, Vanderbilt -- maintain at most symbolic ties to religious traditions which once guided the content of their curriculum. The Ivy League universities were secularized even earlier, and at them not even symbolic ties are maintained to their former religious traditions. At times this process of secularization produces comic moments, as when the recently inaugurated president of Duke was shocked to discover that the university seal made reference in a politically incorrect manner to a Deity. She reacted as if she had discovered that the Duke Board of Trustees was packed with members of the Klan. Baylor alone among major Protestant universities has a chance both to become a research university of the first rank and also to maintain rich ties to its Protestant tradition. There are, of course, a number of outstanding Protestant colleges which continue to resist secularization -- Wheaton and Calvin come to mind -- but none of these is poised as Baylor appears to be to move in the direction of becoming a major research university.
First, what are the similarities between Baylor and Notre Dame that make it appropriate to compare their approaches to secularization? The most important is that Notre Dame and Baylor have maintained, against the tide of secularization, so much of their traditional religious identity. Unlike Duke and Northwestern, Baylor and Notre Dame have a religious identity, clear steps are being taken to preserve it, and a lively discussion about how to preserve it is going on at both universities. But, also, the schools are similar in that this continuity of religious identity is coupled with relatively recent moves to loosen the ties with their religious traditions. In 1992 Baylor modified its charter in order to distance itself from certain forms of direct control by the Texas Baptist Convention. This change has seemed to some as a threat to Baylor's continued Baptist identity. In a similar fashion, Notre Dame -- along with many other leading Catholic universities -- took steps in the mid-1960s to distance itself from direct clerical control. Two events are relevant here. At a famous conference of leaders in Catholic higher education at Land-O-Lakes, Wisconsin, in 1965, a number of leading Catholic universities affirmed a commitment to academic freedom which seemed to many persons at the time to threaten the Catholic identity of traditional Catholic colleges and universities. At about the same time, the Congregation of the Holy Cross (the Catholic religious order that founded and owned Notre Dame) turned the university over to a secular Board of Trustees. Certain forms of control were maintained by the Congregation in this change. The president of Notre Dame, for example, is required to be a member of the Congregation, and the very highest governing body of the university (the seven member Board of Fellows), though appointed by the Trustees, is required to have a majority of Congregation priests on it unless or until this requirement is overturned by the Fellows themselves.
The combination of this handing over of Notre Dame to a broadly secular board and Notre Dame's strong commitment to academic freedom resulted in a discussion in Catholic circles not dissimilar to the discussion in Baptist circles about the charter change in 1992.

July 1967
A June vacation to visit her sons John in Montana and Edwin in Washington state, gave the other children and the grandchildren of Mrs. Eva Madden, Sr., an opportunity for a real gift of love and appreciation.
Her other eight children and their families— numbering somewhere around 30— gathered for two weekends at the 80-year-old home at 542 North Pine and did a complete redecoration inside and out. Everyone, including the smallest two-year-old, wielded a paint brush.
They painted the home inside and out, painted the fence, fixed the roof, washed curtains and re-hung them, put new tile on the kitchen floor, removed the old sink and installed a new one. They also weeded the garden, cut the lawn and worked every angle to give the home a fresh and modern look.
Then the family was on hand to welcome Mrs. Madden home when she arrived at midnight.
Born in 1887, Mrs. Madden had 10 children. She and her late husband came to Rochester about 45 years ago and she has lived in the Pine Street home for 20 years.
* * *
SPEAKING OF VACATIONS, mention of our recent jaunt to Washington, D.C. and the lack of parking space there brought a comment from Ron Kevern, director of personnel for the Rochester Community School District. He and his family made the trip on July 4th and found there was parking space everywhere.
To make sure we would not be fighting for parking spots during our trip there a week ago, we decided to use the services of a tour bus. We let them look for a parking spot. The way in which the tour was conducted and the drivers were a tourist attraction in themselves.
Since the bus company had a dozen different tours one could take at different prices, one finds themselves being shuttled on and off buses at various spots with different groups. Every time one boards a bus, the driver needs to take roll call to make sure everyone is there. Usually they weren't.
In fact, we hadn't even started when we had already lost one party. "Sorry about that," the driver with the Danny Thomas voice and face announced over the loudspeaker. "Yesterday I lost only two parties. I sure hope we find them today."
Before he departs without a group, though, he gets on his two-way radio with his office to find out if the missing folks are on another bus by mistake. During our day on and off the buses with four different drivers, we lost five parties.
But in Washington, being lost is nothing to be ashamed of. One gets the feeling that even Congress is hopelessly lost at least half of their time here.

Mike showed the mask to Kane at the Days of the Dead convention earlier this year. Mike describes Kane as "one of the coolest, nicest people...just so awesome". Mike says that every time he meets Kane, Kane remembers him from previous times. He asks/states, "How cool is that?!"
The answer is very cool. There are a handful of celebs who really are just a step above. I have never met Kane, but I hope to meet him someday. I have met a few who remember me and believe me, it makes a big impression. Those are the truly special encounters.
I am glad Mike had such an experience with Kane. I am even happier he shared it with us here. I also hope to meet Mike at the convention this weekend.

Bimmian Automotive Inc
Product Details
Raised Tire Lettering from Bimmian
Product Introduction
Turn your black tires into a race-looking tire, with custom raised white tire lettering. These letters apply in minutes, are permanent and dramatically transform the look of your wheels.
Features and Benefits Of This Product
Our raised white lettering allow you to transform any black wall tire into a REAL raised white letter tire. Don't struggle with tire paint pens and tire markers. Create your own white letter tires using our REAL rubber raised white letter tire kits (patent pending). They adhere permanently to the sidewall of your tire in seconds. White Tire Paint pens cannot compare to the the performance of our REAL rubber letters.
Available Options
You can display anything you like on your tires by specifying the text you want in our ordering wizard on the tab above.
Please note that if you want to display your tire brand on the top and bottom of your tire, you will need to indicate that in your order. The ordering wizard creates your order based on 4 tires. If you need to dress a spare tire as well, the option to do so is also available during ordering.
Please contact us directly if you require a special configuration.
What Its Made From
Each letter is made from two layers:
Installation Notes
Tire lettering should be installed in the upright position. Do not try to work upside down. Complete the top section on all four tires, and roll the car. It is much easier when the letters are not upside down.
Prior to installation, all kit materials and tires must be dry and allowed to acclimatize to a temperature of not less that 50F for a minimum of one hour.
- Clean backside of letters and tire sidewall letters with a rubber cleaner or a strong degreaser thoroughly and let dry.
- Repeat this step (sometimes up to 5 times depending upon the residue buildup) until the rag comes away clean with no new residue. THIS IS REQUIRED FOR A TRUE RUBBER-TO-RUBBER BOND! If the tire is not sufficiently cleaned, the letters will not be permanent!
- Cut any tabs found sticking out along tire wall with a box cutter.
- Find the center of the tire and make a mark. This is where your first letter will go, and will be the letter found in the middle of the word you are applying.
- Apply glue to the outline of the rubber letter (sold separately when ordering), then fill in letter thinly and evenly distributing the glue. Do not use so much that it squeezes out and runs. Best results require a thin, even coat.
- Apply even pressure to the letter, letting glue set for 15-30 seconds while rubbing from center to outside of the decal to remove any air bubbles.
- Allow to set for one hour to ensure proper adhesion. You can move onto another tire at this time as long as you don't rotate the wheels.
*Remember, If you need to letter the bottom of the tire, wait for the top to cure and then rotate the bottom into the top position.
Installation Difficulty: SIMPLE (No Tools, Anyone Can Install)

Notes / Warnings

ILE-BIZARD, Que. - Saturday might be Moving Day on the PGA Tour, but for five holes, Manotick, Ont.'s Brad Fritsch's van was spinning its wheels.
Fritsch had made the cut at the RBC Canadian Open on the number with a dramatic, 30-foot putt on the 18th hole Friday that left him punching the air and he started Saturday's third round tied for 63rd place at even par.
He didn't hit a green in regulation until the sixth hole to start the third round.
But Fritsch stayed the course in the blustery conditions to get through that start and the result was a fine 3-under par 67 on the day, a 54-hole total of 3-under 207 and a move up the leaderboard. When the leaders teed off, Fritsch had moved up 31 spots to a tie for 32nd.
"The wind was blowing and that made it a little difficult, but I stayed patient and I didn't press," said Fritsch, whose sharp short game allowed him to get up and down for pars on the first (lipped out a chip), second (chipped to a foot), fourth (sand save with a 10-foot putt) and fifth holes, though on the fifth he could putt from the fringe.
On the par-5 sixth, he drove into a bunker, layed up and wedged to 14 feet from where he made his first birdie of the day.
He added another at the ninth from eight feet to make the turn at 2-under.
He almost holed a 9-iron on the 157-yard 17th hole for a hole in one, the ball coming to rest a foot behind the hole after hitting a slope in front of the hole and rolling ever closer, getting a rise out of the gallery around the green.
"I had picked up my tee and was putting the club back in the bag and I could hear the crescendo building," said Fritsch. "I was wondering if it was going to go in."
He then made a great par on the demanding par-4 18th after hitting his drive right of the fairway. A shot over some trees wound up in a greenside bunker, but Fritsch hit a wonderful explosion from some 65 feet to five feet and made the putt.
"I was lucky to be here today (after making that putt Friday to make the cut) and I wanted to come out and play a good round," he said. "It was nice to put together a good round and stay within shouting distance of the leaders."
After Friday's 68, Fritsch is now 5-under par for the last 36 holes.
"It will be the same game plan for Sunday," he said, "just hope a couple more putts fall and I can have a really good finish here."

The little spills, dumps, and heel marks of everyday living gather on the floor with startling speed. And unless the floors undergo regular cleaning, the surface is likely to ruin after a period of time. Here are a few equipments professional floor cleaners use for floor maintenance.
