Sir George launches Newbury Spring Festival
9 Mar 2004
David Livermore, Mark Eynon and GY

The Chairman of the Newbury Spring Festival, David Livermore, hosted a reception at Donnington Priory to launch the forthcoming Spring Festival.
Speaking at the launch, Sir George said he strongly believed in high quality, accessible live music, which was why he had become a member of the Friends of NSF.
"Many of my constituents in North West Hampshire come to Newbury to quench their cultural thirst. Last year I enjoyed the performance at Highclere Castle by the Vienna Piano Trio, and the year before I was much moved by the recital of poems from the First World War at Sandham Chapel in Burghclere. I am sure this year's programme will be every bit as popular as last year's 25th Anniversary Programme."
Sir George praised the work which NSF did with schoolchildren, and thanked the many sponsors for their generosity.
The Festival begins with a performance of Haydn's Creation on May 8th at St Nicholas' Newbury
After Sir George, Mark Eynon, the Festival Director, gave more details of the programme

Moons like ours are a rarity in the universeNovember 21st, 2007 - 1:42 pm ICT by admin
Washington, Nov 21 (ANI): New observations from NASA's Spitzer Space Telescope suggest that moons like Earth's, that have been formed out of tremendous collisions, are uncommon in the universe.
"When a moon forms from a violent collision, dust should be blasted everywhere," said Nadya Gorlova of the University of Florida, who is also the lead author of a new study on the topic. "If there were lots of moons forming, we would have seen dust around lots of stars, which we didn't," she added.
Scientists believe that the moon formed after a planetary body as big as Mars smacked into our infant Earth. This impact had probably broken off a piece of the planet's mantle. Some of the resulting debris fell into orbit around Earth, eventually forming into the moon we see today.
As for the other moons in our solar system, they either formed simultaneously with their planet or were captured by their planet's gravity.
The new observations by the research team looked for the dusty signs of similar smash-ups around 400 stars that are all about 30 million years old, roughly the age of our sun when Earth's moon formed.
What they found was that only 1 out of the 400 stars is immersed in the telltale dust. Taking into consideration the amount of time the dust should stick around, and the age range at which moon-forming collisions can occur, the scientists then calculated the probability of a solar system making a moon like Earth's to be at most 5 to 10 percent.
"We don't know that the collision we witnessed around the one star is definitely going to produce a moon, so moon-forming events could be much less frequent than our calculation suggests," said George Rieke of the University of Arizona, Tucson, who's a co-author of the study.
In addition, the observations tell astronomers that the planet-building process itself winds down by 30 million years after a star is born. Like our moon, rocky planets are also built up through messy collisions that spray dust all around.
Though current thinking holds that this process lasts from about 10 to 50 million years after a star forms, the research team found only 1 star out of 400 with collision-generated dust. This indicates that the 30-million-year-old stars in the study have, for the most part, finished making their planets.
"Astronomers have observed young stars with dust swirling around them for more than 20 years now," said Gorlova.
"But those stars are usually so young that their dust could be left over from the planet-formation process. The star we have found is older, at the same age our sun was when it had finished making planets and the Earth-moon system had just formed in a collision." (ANI)

A quick recap
1. There's a divergence going on. falling oil is dragging down the finance and energy sectors. tech is strong because of good earnings season.
2. if oil stays at $45 or lower, the energy and finance sectors will fall more.
3. thus the S&P will make a small correction.

They say that when you say something out loud your more likely to stick with it so here it goes...
This past year has been a bit of an emotional whirlwind for me; in more ways than one. I feel like I have changed so much however I'm not so sure how much of the change has actually been good - I'm not saying that I've turned all bad and to be honest I'm really happy with a lot of the things that have changed about me however I can't help feel that there are certain aspects of myself that have disappeared and I don't know if I'm happy about it?
I'm not going to go in to huge detail about everything but here's some bullet points of the great things and the not so great things, just to give you an idea...
Great Things:
- Sticking to my guns
- Stepping out of my comfort zone and actually going to events/ parties and socialising with people I've never met before (I know this must sound ridiculous to a lot of people but for me this is a big milestone)
- Booking a holiday to Florida
- Saying 'yes' to things that worry me
- Seeing old friends
- Spending time with my family
Not so great things:
- Bitchiness
- Not telling people how I really feel
- Being too perfectionistic
- Not trusting people
- Losing people
- Being too negative
- Not making enough time for others
- Not always responding to emails or txts
- feeling lost, like I'm not progressing and that this is it...
- I've stopped dreaming about the future
- Not being me
- Guilt
I know that a lot of that probably sounds ridiculous but it's how I feel. I can't pin point or bullet point where this change has stemmed from because I never used to feel like this. The old me would of had a much longer 'Great Things' list...
Anyway, I'm writing this because I want to retrace my steps and pickup some of the old me . The girl who knew when to say no, who got out of negative situations, who stayed away from the catty bitchiness and general crap that is just so insignificant it's positively ridiculous! I just want to laugh, make new friends, build better relationships with existing ones, stop apologising for who I am and feeling guilty all of the time. I want to go back and set out to do what I have always planned to - live in the city, sing, act, travel, have a successful YouTube channel and work really hard.
I don't want to be 80 and look back at my life and say 'what if' or 'I regret that' Sadly I know a handful of people who do feel like that and I want to avoid conforming to the feeling.
So here's my plan to get back a bit of the old me - in bullet points...
- Remove negative individuals from my internal 'I need approval from' list
- Be open with people
- Tell my friends that I appreciate them
- Put pictures up in my house of happy memories and family holiday's
- Exercise more
- Stop dwelling on the past
- Walk away from toxic situations
- Walk away from toxic situations
- Start working towards having the following - living in the city, singing, acting, travelling and enjoying my YouTube channel to the fullest.
Anyway I know this post was the biggest ramble ever and probably doesn't make a whole lot of sense to whoever decides to read it but it's made me feel better and has put positive pressure on to me to implement this change and to retrace my steps a little.

In Week 9, the aces are limited, but 10 starting pitchers will get two turns in the rotation with both games taking place in their home ballpark.
Probable two-start pitchers:
Matt Andriese, TB (@ KC, @ MIN)

Chad Bettis, COL (vs. CIN, @ SD)
Andrew Cashner, SD (@ SEA, vs. COL)

Gerrit Cole, PIT (@ MIA, vs. LAA)
Patrick Corbin, ARI (vs. HOU, @ CHC)

Jose Fernandez, MIA (vs. PIT, vs. NYM)
Mike Foltynewicz, ATL (vs. SF, @ LAD)

Colby Lewis, TEX (@ CLE, vs. SEA)
Jeff Locke, PIT (@ MIA, vs. LAA)

Jeff Samardzija, SF (@ ATL, @ STL)
Anibal Sanchez, DET (@ LAA, vs. CWS)
Ervin Santana, MIN (@ OAK, vs. TB)
James Shields, SD (@ SEA, vs. COL)
Drew Smyly, TB (@ KC, @ MIN)
Dan Straily, CIN (@ COL, vs. WAS)
Josh Tomlin, CLE (vs. TEX, vs. KC)
Justin Verlander, DET (@ LAA, vs. CWS)
Tyler Wilson, BAL (vs. BOS, vs. NYY)
Matt Wisler, ATL (vs. SF, @ LAD)
Alex Wood, LAD (@ CHC, vs. ATL)
Steven Wright, BOS (@ BAL, vs. TOR)
Cream of the crop:
Jake Arrieta, CHC (vs. LAD, vs. ARI)
Sure, he had a "rough" start in his last outing (5 IP, 4 ER, and 4 Ks). Plenty of pitchers would love for that to be their worst outing. Prior to that game, Arrieta had a streak of 30-consecutive starts allowing three earned runs or fewer. He gets two home games this week. This season, Arrieta is 3-0 with a 1.73 ERA in four starts at Wrigley.
Jose Fernandez, MIA (vs. PIT, vs. NYM)
Much like our previous top tier pitcher, Fernandez is also quite impressive at home. In five outings at Marlins Park, he is 4-1 with a 3.03 ERA and has 49 punch outs in 29.2 innings of work. Fernandez has also tallied at least 11 strikeouts in three of the past four games.
Corey Kluber, CLE (vs. TEX, vs. KC)
The trend continues. Kluber gets the nod twice at home in Week 9. While his success isn't comparable to the two previous listed pitchers, that doesn't discredit Kluber's dominance. He has allowed two earned runs or less in back-to-back performances and has at least six strikeouts in three-straight starts.
Potential bargains:
Junior Guerra, MIL (vs. STL, @ PHI)
This is the week to see if Guerra is a flash-in-the-pan or a certified fantasy starter. While he is 3-0 and carries a 3.30 ERA this season, Guerra has also faced the Braves, Padres, Reds, and the strikeout-prone Cubs in the NL. This week, he'll get two clubs with above .500 records. Guerra has 17 combined strikeouts in the past two games.
Alex Wood, LAD (@ CHC, vs. ATL)
He missed his last start due to a tricep injury. Now, Wood will get two prime matchups for his fantasy owners. While a start in Wrigley Field isn't the best environment for a pitcher, the offense is quite beneficial. The Cubs have struck out 211 times, thus far, in May. That's the ninth-most in baseball. Next for Wood, the Braves. This year, they have the most strikeouts and the third-worst batting average against left-handed pitchers.
Avoid at all costs:
Dan Straily, CIN (@ COL, vs. WAS)
A start at Coors and hosting the NL East leader? That's not the best combination for any pitcher. So, though Straily has a sensational season in the making right now, it would probably be wise to sit him for Week 9.
Jhoulys Chacin, LAA (vs. DET, @ PIT)
For those looking for a streaming two-start option, this is not your guy. Chacin gets two matchups with offenses that are both in the top ten in runs scored in the past week.

Topic : Job description template ideas.
If your company or organization is divided into multiple sections, then a job description should mention which department or other unit that particular position reports to. When creating a job description template, it is important to leave a place for listing the department, usually near the beginning of the document.
A job description is a critically important document used for hiring and managing employees.[1] It communicates the responsibilities of the person doing the job, and the qualifications and skills that are needed to complete it. Having a template for all job descriptions within a company or organization will help keep them consistent and uniform in style and substance, as well as ensure a fair hiring process. Create a document that provides a snapshot of the company and the department, and then provides a space for the job duties and required qualifications related to each particular position.

Friday the 13th - so scary that an intense fear of the day even has it's own name, Paraskevidekatriaphobia. An estimated 17 - 21 million people in the US are affected by a fear of Friday The 13th, making it the most feared day and date in history. Some people are so paralysed by fear that they avoid their normal routines in doing business, taking flights or even getting out of bed.
But here at Living Dead, we LOVE Friday The 13th! We love it so much we have released a so-freaky-it's-incredible collection to celebrate! Now this isn't your average collection either, this has some of the things you have been dying to get your hands on forever like the Matte Black Skater Dress! This is the perfect Little Black Dress that every girl needs in their wardrobe. Dress it up, dress it down, style it for work or play - this versatile dress is a wardrobe staple.
We also released the first few pieces of our Active Wear range! I have tested and re-tested the fabric we have exclusively sourced from Carvico Italy (black branded lycra) to minimise grinning. The fabric is specifically designed for sublimation with moisture wicking properties and is fully breathable and odour resistant (and also looks absolutely awesome!)
The NEXT amazing thing in the Friday The 13th release is the kaftans! There has been so much hype about these since you got your first preview of them at Supanova and now they are finally here. These are one size fits all and there is plenty more of them to come in the future!
Head on over to www.livingdead.com.au to check out the new release and stay safe this Friday The 13th!

Real men love their wives as much as Christ loves His Church: A Reflection on Ephesians 5:21-33
Ephesians 5:21-33 is one of my favourite passages of scripture. For me it models and clears the way - like a lighthouse guiding in the ships to port - about how a husband is to love his wife. When this passage of scripture is read out at Mass at this time on the liturgical calendar, however, I am always amused by the looks on some of the faces of some of the women sitting in Mass. Let me tap the part of the passage that irks them:
"Wives, be subject to your husbands, as to the Lord. For the husband is the head of the wife as Christ is the head of the church, his body, and is himself its Saviour. As the church is subject to Christ, so let wives also be subject in everything to their husbands." - Ephesians 5:22-24
Basically the "modern woman" will interpret that portion of the passage this way:
"The husband is the boss; you are subservient to him; you are second to him; blah-de-blah-de-blah-de-blah!"
I'm not kidding! Quite a few Christian women I know (Catholic and non-Catholic alike) have deemed St. Paul a misogynist based on this particular letter alone, but there are some very important details that are glossed over in the kind of marriage St. Paul is describing, and let's not forget verse 21:
"Be subject to one another out of reverence for Christ." - Ephesians 5:21
It doesn't get any clearer than that, but let's break down verse 22. "Wives, be subject to your husbands, as to the Lord." is not a statement or instruction of coercion or submission; "... be subject... as to the Lord" is the same as saying, "put your trust in your husband" or "have faith in your husband". St. Paul goes on to note in verses 23 and 24 that the role of the husband is modelled on the headship of Jesus Christ over the Church. As Christ made a new covenant promise with His people, the Church, so too the husband and wife make a sacred covenant promise to each other in marriage, a promise that is built on trust and faith, (i.e. fidelity) and the kicker is what we read in the following verses about the husband's duties to his wife:
"Husbands, love your wives, as Christ loved the church and gave himself up for her, that he might sanctify her, having cleansed her by the washing of water with the word, that he might present the church to himself in splendour, without spot or wrinkle or any such thing, that she might be holy and without blemish. Even so husbands should love their wives as their own bodies. He who loves his wife loves himself. For no man ever hates his own flesh, but nourishes and cherishes it, as Christ does the church, because we are members of his body. 'For this reason a man shall leave his father and mother and be joined to his wife, and the two shall become one flesh.' This mystery is a profound one, and I am saying that it refers to Christ and the church; however, let each one of you love his wife as himself, and let the wife see that she respects her husband. " - Ephesians 5:25-33
How much does Christ love the Church? How much does the Lord love us? How did the Lord demonstrate this love for us? Get back to Sunday school if you don't know the answer to this question, but I'll give you the cliff notes: Christ died for us for the sake of our salvation (John 3:16)! This gift, called "grace", is the gift that was and is freely given that we did nothing to be granted. Husbands are thus expected to sacrifice themselves for their wives and love her as the Lord loves us: unconditionally and selflessly, and as we read in verses 26 and 27, the husband must work to make his wife "holy and without blemish".
What a calling! What a responsibility! Which of us that are married men can honestly say that we work this way, even in part, to uplift and uphold our wives in such a way that they may appear sanctified before the Lord? Listening to this Second Reading this morning at Mass challenged me and made me contemplate the ways through which I love my wife. I can be a slob, a buffoon, a dolt, a fool, a dope, a twit, and a jerk, and I especially need to learn to love my wife in ways that emulate the love Christ has for the Church. The more I realise this as a Christian-Catholic allows me to concede, not by any sense of defeat, but so as not to allow pride to enter my heart, that in order to love my wife the way Christ loves the Church I need more of Christ in my heart and centred in my marriage.
In short, St. Paul is writing about a marriage between husband and wife that is built faith and trust in each other, and a selfless love to work in mutuality; to love, to honour, and to serve without counting the cost.
In the two, husband and wife, in marriage becoming "one flesh", they are no longer two persons but unified equals working together in the greatest of pairings conceived by the Lord God. It is for this reason St. Paul draws the parallel between the marriage of a husband to his wife to the relationship Christ has with the Church; the Church is the bride and Christ the bridegroom. It is the love and sacrifice of Christ that allows the Church to grow and nourish its children spiritually, and it is the faith we, the Church, place in Christ that enables Him to work through us transforming us into new creations (2 Corinthians 5:17). The old becomes gone.
Real men love their wives as much as Christ loves His Church. Are you man enough to love your wife this way?

Radio producers from around the world arrive in Baltimore today for a conference aimed at fostering cooperative programs to help cultures better understand each other.
Interconnect 1993, organized and sponsored by "Soundprint," the documentary series produced here at WJHU-FM (88.1), begins tonight with an opening address by Bill Siemering, the first program director of National Public Radio and founder of "All Things Considered," as well as of "Soundprint."
Workshops and panel discussions continue through Monday at the Latham Hotel.
Although the unprecedented conference is not open to the public, organizers suggest public radio listeners will eventually hear the results.
"What we hope will happen is that there will be specific collaborative projects developed," said Moira Rankin, "Soundprint" executive producer.
Baltimore plays host to the effort because of pioneering efforts by "Soundprint" to make international radio connections.
The weekly program (heard here at 7 p.m. Wednesday and 7:30 a.m. Sunday on WJHU and carried nationally by NPR) demonstrated the concept this year by launching a collaboration with broadcasters from Britain, Ireland, Australia and Canada.

she seems to have a stomach issue (bowls) which is new since she has started taking it has anyone experienced uncontrolable bowls ? if so does it pass or should we take her off it and change to another. It is to help control her epilepsy. she has been on it for 2 weeks.
Responses (4)
It's interesting. Neither drugs, Topamax and Keppra have diarrhea as a side effect and there is no known interaction as such.
I realize it's been a while since you posted this question, and hopefully your daughter's diarrhea has resolved. Otherwise please take her to your doctor.
My son is on Keppra and has been since January of 2011. He did not get diarrhea, but rather constipation. I would suggest looking at her diet, does she eat alot of fruits or fiber rich foods? Also, 2 weeks is a short time for a new medicine, maybe give it more time and see what happens?
My daughter took both these drugs along with tegretol and didn't have this problem. Could be some flu or other situation that has brought this on. If it does not clear up soon please consult a doctor and mean while be sure to keep her hydrated. Gatoraide or Poweraide as well as pediolites are good for balancing electolytes. Is the drug combination helping control the seizures? Best wishes.
When I first started taking topamax I had uncontrollable diarrhea. My neurologist (I was taking it for back pain) said that was impossible. Well let me tell you it was possible!! I finally realized if I ate something when I took the pill I didn't have as much trouble. I realize it has been over 2 years since the original post, but hopefully my experience will help someone else.

Legislation relating to First Aid
The Health and Safety (First Aid) Regulations 1981
What are The Health and Safety (First Aid) Regulations 1981?
The Health and Safety (First Aid) Regulations 1981 requires employers to:
- Provide adequate and appropriate first aid equipment
- Provide adequate and appropriate first aid facilities
- Provide adequate and appropriate first aid personnel
- Provide Risk Assessments
- Inform Employees of the First Aid arrangements
An employer shall provide, or ensure that there are provided, such equipment and facilities as are adequate and appropriate in the circumstances for enabling first-aid to be rendered to his employees if they are injured or become ill at work.
The legal minimum requirement is that someone is appointed to look after first aid requirements. They are not required to administer first aid and so do not need full first aid training, but they must be present to take charge if someone is injured or becomes ill at work. The Health and Safety (First Aid) Regulations 1981 must be followed by ALL workplaces, including those with fewer than 5 employees.

Agri-Cultured 06.01.11
In the early 1970s, Dorothy Retallack conducted experiments of the effects of sound and music on the growth of plants. She published her findings in a book entitled "The Sound of Music and Plants." As we all know from her findings and countless science fair projects, plants seem to respond positively to nature sounds and classical music (although there are persuasive arguments that mathematical heavy-metal is more beneficial to the plants).
We at SPACES are not as concerned about the physical growth of our plants, but of their cultural enrichment. That is why we have three flats of seedlings that receive at least 1 hour of culture each day. This culture comes in the form of experimental music, sound art, video art, art films, and exposure to art objects. We are documenting the daily exposure below. When you come into SPACES, you may take one plant home for free, continue to nourish and enrich it, and harvest its culture-laden fruits. You may select from sweet basil, mixed belle peppers, and swiss chard.

Lisa Haley has always shared her affinity for Louisiana. But just over a decade ago, as her mother lay sick, she and her younger brother discovered the Southern state had harbored a decades-old family secret.
"My mom almost died, and my dad took us aside and told us that we had a half-brother somewhere that my mom had to give up for adoption when she was 18," Haley said. "Because in the South, if you grew up in polite society back then — 55, 60 years ago — you didn't keep children born out of wedlock. You gave them up. So she was always real angry at God her whole life because she had to give her son up."
Discovering that she had an older brother somewhere led Haley to write the song "Louisiana." While that song is melancholy, suggesting ambiguity toward her roots, most of her songs are just the opposite — boot-stomping zydeco and Cajun songs that celebrate bayous, gumbo and informal swamp jams.
While that style of music is synonymous with Louisiana, once again, the state's values and beliefs posed a problem, making it difficult for Haley to play the music at a young age.
"Back then, it was considered half-breed language, half-breed music," said Haley, who will perform Cajun, zydeco and Americana tunes with her band, the Zydekats, in Arroyo Grande on Saturday. "And my mom, that's why she had us learning classical music — because she didn't want us to grow up playing what she considered to be half-breed, backwoods music."
While her parents were from the South — her father a research scientist, her mother an aide to a senator — they raised their children in Southern California. Her mother — who also turned down a chance to have her children be Mouseketeers — hoped that viola lessons would advance her children socially. But the children were always exposed to their Southern roots.
Her mother would pack boiled shrimp into their lunches — leading to some heckling from other kids — and their father would play Louisiana records in the garage.
"And, of course, us kids wanted to go out there and hear what it was that we weren't supposed to hear," said Haley, who eventually switched to playing violin. "And then when I got to high school, I started playing music from Louisiana, Arkansas and Texas, and my parents were going, 'What is this? Where is the Bach and Beethoven?' "
While Haley grew up in California, the family would spend summers in Louisiana every other year. And after high school, she lived in various southern states for five years. Haley attended four different colleges but dropped out to play music full-time, getting her education from a zydeco performer named Queen Ida. An accordion player and bayou native, Queen Ida mentored Haley and bought Haley and her band opera lessons to teach them the proper way to use their voices.
Soon Haley was an in-demand, Grammy-nominated zydeco artist, with a voice like Cher's and a red-hot fiddle name Louie. And thanks to her lifelong connections in Los Angeles, she became the go-to musician whenever someone needed a session player to perform zydeco or Cajun music.
She has performed for several commercials and has appeared in films including "Forgetting Sarah Marshall," "Red Dragon," and "The Beverly Hillbillies." She has also performed with musicians such as Randy Newman, Little Richard and Lyle Lovett.
The style of music — a little French, Irish, German and Haitian — features upbeat accordion and fiddle playing fused with occasional French lyrics and a whole lot of bayou visuals. It works in TV and film, Haley said, whenever a director needs feel-good music for a scene.
"They love the feel of it," she said. "And they love what it does to people. It wakes people up, it gets people going."
While that aspect of the South is uplifting, some of its traditions are not. For decades, her mother carried the pain of having to give up her son merely because she wasn't married at the time of his birth.
"I remember at Christmastime, she would spend one little portion of time standing by the Christmas tree and crying," Haley said. "And we would go, 'Mom, what's the matter — it's Christmas — why are you crying?' And she'd go, 'Nothing.' She kept the secret for 55 years."
Once Haley found out she had an older brother, she said, she prayed that she would one day meet him. And, coincidentally, her half-brother in Dallas was trying to find his birth family.
"He had been adopted by a doctor and his wife, and he'd waited until they passed away," Haley said. "And he started looking for us."
Her brother was at a meeting for retired Marines when he asked for advice on finding his birth family. A retired Marine himself, he had a piece of paper saying where he was born, but the names of the parents were concealed.
An attorney in the room asked to see the paper.
"The 93-year-old, retired lawyer said, 'I'll help you — we'll see what we can do,'" Haley said. "And he looked at the paper and said, 'You know, this looks familiar.' He went up in his attic and found the paperwork without the names removed. And he found us within three weeks."
At the time, Haley said, her mother was still alive — and elated to finally meet her firstborn.
"My mom made peace with God after she found her son," Haley said. "She definitely changed. She was so happy that he was alive, that he turned out all right, that he was a good person."

School of Art + Art History alumnus Miguel Luciano (BFA '97, MFA '00) opened his solo exhibition "Ride or Die" at BRIC House in Brooklyn on Wednesday, February 1.

For the Jr. Set
= Hanging Canvas Seat

Adult Standard Package

—Please see NOTE below—
Order tip for teens or pre-teens on Package deals
-Soft Taco-
For older kids, we often make Jr. package deals that include an Adult Soft Taco instead of the Jr. Taco. The material can condense until the child grows taller. They can easily grow into the adult Taco.
We suggest stick with the Jr. Plywood Platform. It will take plenty of weight and is much more fun than the Adult size.
A word about the Plywood Platform, Adult.
The Adult Plywood Platform is our most returned swing seat. It is just so much bigger than expected. Especially compared to the Jr. Ply, the size and weight makes it difficult to handle.
It seems best suited for big people who like to take it easy.
For someone who likes to really swing, the Jr. Ply is way more fun.
BAR is either the Baltic Birch BAR or the residential steel model BAR.
Kim who has had a HOMESTAND for ten years says: Tom, Actually, my husband and I have commented several times over the years that it is one the best purchases for our money that we've made (the others being laser eye corrective surgery and the built-in cabinetry in our walk-in closet, hehe) and that is still the case. We have 2 younger boys with Autism (now ages 15 and 11) who still use it regularly. Our oldest son has Aspergers Syndrome and prefers the trampoline. I've often wished there was an olympic event of who can spin the longest without getting dizzy, my middle son would win the gold. I also have to mention that it is a hit with all the other kids who come to visit and play at our house (its definitely the favorite "toy" – and they remember the swing and ask about it when they come over again. I'm so glad you have found this niche in the market, I hope it is doing well for you, as it had brought our family so much enjoyment over the years. I only wish there where more well-made and sturdy products for older kids and adults who need that kinds of rocking and motion! I thought I'd share a little about our family so you can understand how deeply we appreciation your wonderful products and equally excellent customer service! Its so nice to be remembered, even when I randomly order something from website! So, just wanted to say thanks and send our best wishes to you and your family!

Questions continued to swirl Friday about the stunning suicide of former NFL star linebacker Junior Seau.
Police responding to an emergency call at his Oceanside, California, home found Seau, 43, unconscious Wednesday with a self-inflicted gunshot wound to the chest, according to Oceanside Police Chief Frank McCoy.
While immediate reactions have centered on concussion-related injuries in football, the national discussion also has highlighted questions about Seau's mental state in the hours before he took his life: What drove him to the edge? What was so bad that a millionaire ballplayer felt he had to end it all?
While no one knows for certain what Seau was dealing with, it is true that for many professional athletes, their "tough-guy" personas often mask the emotional stresses inherent in their lives, according to mental health experts.
"Professional athletes have the same percentage of anxiety, depression and mood disorders as the general population," sports psychologist Joel Fish, who consults with the Philadelphia Flyers and Philadelphia 76ers, told HLN Thursday. "Just because someone is big and strong physically doesn't mean they are big and strong emotionally."

High-profile athletes -- as well as celebrities -- often set unrealistic expectations for themselves which can lead to disastrous results, Ron Maris, an expert in suicide and former professor of psychiatry at Johns Hopkins Medical School, told HLN Thursday.
"High expectations, achievements and perfectionism make it easier to fail, especially after your football prime is over," Maris said. While most of our lives are "good enough" and full of compromises, Maris said, "There are no compromises for Seau and guys like him."
While no one knows what personal demons Seau was battling, his death has brought renewed scrutiny on a 2010 incident in which the then-newly retired football star's vehicle careened off a cliff. Was he crying out for help in some way? On Wednesday, TV analyst and former Seau teammate Marcellus Wiley recalled asking Seau that very question.
"I remember talking to him about the reports that he had crashed his car in an attempted suicide," Wiley, choking back tears, said on ESPN. "I remember talking to him because I said, 'Junior, be real with me, I'm your boy. I've fallen asleep before, I'm not perfect. Tell me you just fell asleep.' Junior told me he did. He didn't show me anything that were cries for help."
Wiley openly questioned why someone so well liked, so loved, never asked for help. "Come out and tell us you needed us," he said.
But professional athletes are oftentimes conditioned to withhold emotions, Fish says.
"In football, mental toughness is a top priority. It's something that NFL scouts and personnel guys even try to look for in the NFL draft. There is still a feeling among certain players that it would be risky for them to be completely honest about what's going on in their personal life because somehow it may be interpreted as a question on their mental toughness," he said.

Chicago– Longtime social justice activist and prominent faith leader Rev. Calvin S. Morris, Ph.D., has announced he will retire from his current post as Executive Director of the Community Renewal Society in June 2012, prompting an organizational effort to plan for its next phase.
Dr. Morris has served as leader of Community Renewal since 1998. The faith-based agency empowers people to combat racism and poverty through community organizing and training offered through its Civic Action Network of roughly 70 congregations throughout the Chicagoland region, and through the investigative, independent journalism of its two award-winning publications, Catalyst Chicago (which focuses on Chicago Public Schools and urban education issues) and The Chicago Reporter (which focuses on a range of issues affected by race and poverty).
"My service here has been one of the most exciting, challenging and meaningful points in my career," said Morris. "I express my deep appreciation to the staff and board and to all of our supporters who have stood with us in solidarity with those who need us most."
Previously, Morris held executive leadership positions at the Interdenominational Theological Center in Atlanta; Howard University's School of Divinity; and the Martin Luther King, Jr. Center for Social Change. His work in Chicago began many decades ago as a leader in Operation Breadbasket, now Rainbow PUSH.
During his tenure, Morris oversaw the streamlining and consolidation of many of Community Renewal's programs to focus on the combined power of journalism and community organizing.
The organization has achieved significant successes under his leadership, including Illinois Attorney General Lisa Madigan's use of Chicago Reporter-generated data in her successful lawsuits fighting racial disparities in home mortgages by prominent lenders; state legislation increasing the quality of care for nursing home patients; and policies that foster stronger family ties for children with incarcerated parents.
The board of directors plans to begin a search for Morris' successor this year, and has hired two respected Chicago-area firms–Davidoff Communications and ThinkInc.—to conduct an organizational strategic plan prior to his departure to assist in this process.
"We cannot thank Rev. Morris enough for all that he has done for CRS, but most importantly, for what he has done on behalf of so many," said CRS Board President John D. Purdy, Jr. "We are sad to see him go, but are excited about what the future holds for CRS and all it can continue to give to people throughout the region."
Originally the Chicago Missionary Society, the organization was founded in 1882 under the auspices of the United Church of Christ (then the Congregational Church) to meet the needs of newly arrived immigrants through the founding of churches, schools and settlement houses.
Its mission expanded later to include racial justice issues, such as assisting Japanese families who were interred during World War II and supporting the growth and development of many community organizations and local congregations which continue their work for justice today, and still utilize Community Renewal's training and other resources to increase their effectiveness.

In this edition of the Reality Report, economics Professor Joshua Farley of the Gund Institute for Ecological Economics at the University of Vermont discusses the false assumptions of dominant economic theory, why this leads to problems, and what an alternative economic system might look like. During the interview, Prof. Farley explains how policies to protect the environment, stem the loss of biodiversity, conserve fossil fuels, and deal with climate change will fail without economic reform that first sets the sustainable scale of the human economy, secondly decides what is a just distribution, and finally allows the market to find the most efficient allocation. Among many publications, Prof. Farley is coauthor with Herman Daly of the college text book "Ecological Economics: Principles and Applications." Jason Bradford hosts The Reality Report, broadcast on KZYX&Z in Mendocino County, CA.

We have an awesome guest post by Chris from Poker Affiliate Solutions with his take on how to chose the right affiliate program to promote.
Choosing poker sites to promote is one of the most important parts of being a poker affiliate. Below are three factors to take into account.
Your Target Market
It sounds simple enough – if your target market is US, don't market a room that doesn't allow US players. But other factors are far more subtle. For instance, if your target market is newer to poker, you may be able to sell features like graphics, and may not be able to sell rooms where you need to jump through seven hoops to make a deposit.
Therefore, your first step should be to define your target market. Gone are the days when all an affiliate has to do is target "poker players." That is too broad of a category. For example, if you are a content based affiliate obtaining sign-ups through search engine traffic, experienced poker players shouldn't be your target market. Why? Because poker players all know about rakeback and the significance of signing-up through an affiliate.
'Know thy customer' is a mantra of selling. It is no different in being a poker affiliate.
If you are trying to get traffic using specific search terms, know where the competition is. Know how competitive a given search term is. If "Full Tilt Bonus Code" is a term you want to target, know how difficult it will be to obtain positioning. Because there may be a case where you feel the same amount of effort SEOing "Cake Bonus Code" will bring more dollars to you. In that case, promote Cake, not Full Tilt.
If you want to be a rakeback affiliate, know where new rakeback players come from, and what other affiliates you will find at the point of intersection. You can certainly compete with behemoths like RaketheRake or Raketracker, but not without an angle. Study your target market and study your competition.
This is often the factor that new poker affiliates look to first. Don't. It's third on this list for a reason. If you can drive traffic to a poker site via your website or marketing efforts, the money will follow. Don't be too concerned about actual dollars in the very beginning. For example, if you can drive three times the traffic to a $60 CPA than you can to a $100, you go with the lesser payout because it makes more money. Additionally, showing results to a poker room will always up your pay rates and opens the door for future negotiations.
As important as picking a program is, promoting multiple poker rooms is the best course of action. The more diversity you have in your offerings, the better your affiliate business will be. It will allow you to weather changes in the industry, changes in individual room compensation plans, and shifts in interest of your target market.
Poker Affiliate Solutions saw the complications poker affiliates have in promoting multiple poker rooms. The creatives and statistics needed are scattered across the web. Poker Affiliate Solutions brings them all into one place, allowing easy management of your poker affiliate business.

Heroin is an illegal, highly addictive drug. It is both the most abused and the most rapidly acting of the opiates. Heroin is processed from morphine, a naturally occurring substance extracted from the seed pod of certain varieties of poppy plants.
It usually appears as a white or brown powder. Street names for the drug include "smack," "H," "skag," and "junk." Other names may refer to types of heroin produced in a specific geographical area, such as "Mexican black tar."
Heroin is a highly addictive drug, and its use is a serious problem. It is both the most abused and the most rapidly acting of the opiates. It is typically sold as a white or brownish powder or as the black sticky substance known on the streets as "black tar heroin."
Although purer heroin is becoming more common, most street heroin is "cut" with other drugs or with substances such as sugar, starch, powdered milk, or quinine. Street heroin can also be cut with strychnine or other poisons. Both new and experienced users risk overdosing on this drug because it is impossible for them to know the purity of the drug they are using. (Heroin sold on the street often is mixed with other substances such as sugar, starch, or quinine. An added risk results when the drug is mixed with poisons such as strychnine.) Heroin overdoses–which can result whether the drug is snorted, smoked, or injected–can cause slow and shallow breathing, convulsions, coma, and even death.
The drug is usually injected, sniffed/snorted, or smoked. Typically, a heroin abuser may inject up to four times a day. Intravenous injection provides the greatest intensity and most rapid onset of euphoria (7 to 8 seconds), while intramuscular injection produces a relatively slow onset of euphoria (5 to 8 minutes). When this drug is sniffed or smoked, peak effects are usually felt within 10 to 15 minutes. Although smoking and sniffing the drug do not produce a "rush" as quickly or as intensely as intravenous injection.
Short term effects of heroin
Soon after injection (or inhalation), heroin crosses the blood-brain barrier. In the brain, the substance is converted to morphine and binds rapidly to opioid receptors. Abusers typically report feeling a surge of pleasurable sensation, a "rush." The intensity of the rush is a function of how much drug is taken and how rapidly the drug enters the brain and binds to the natural opioid receptors. Heroin is particularly addictive because it enters the brain so rapidly. With this drug, the rush is usually accompanied by a warm flushing of the skin, dry mouth, and a heavy feeling in the extremities, which may be accompanied by nausea, vomiting, and severe itching.
After the initial effects, abusers usually will be drowsy for several hours. Mental function is clouded by heroin's effect on the central nervous system. Cardiac function slows. Breathing is also severely slowed, sometimes to the point of death. Heroin overdose is a particular risk on the street, where the amount and purity of the drug cannot be accurately known.
The same way that freebase is used, namely, by placing the substance in a glass pipe (or hash pipe) with a fine mesh screen under it, then heating it and inhaling the vapors.
Heroin Long term effects
Heroin abuse is associated with serious health conditions, including fatal overdose, spontaneous abortion, and—particularly in users who inject the drug—infectious diseases, including HIV/AIDS and hepatitis. Chronic users may develop collapsed veins, infection of the heart lining and valves, abscesses, and liver or kidney disease. Pulmonary complications, including various types of pneumonia, may result from the poor health of the abuser as well as from heroin's depressing effects on respiration. In addition to the effects of the drug itself, street heroin often contains toxic contaminants or additives that can clog blood vessels leading to the lungs, liver, kidneys, or brain, causing permanent damage to vital organs.
As higher doses are used over time, physical dependence and addiction develop. With physical dependence, the body has adapted to the presence of the drug and withdrawal symptoms may occur if use is reduced or stopped. Withdrawal, which in regular abusers may occur as early as a few hours after the last administration, produces drug craving, restlessness, muscle and bone pain, insomnia, diarrhea and vomiting, cold flashes with goose bumps ("cold turkey"), kicking movements ("kicking the habit"), and other symptoms. Major withdrawal symptoms peak between 48 and 72 hours after the last does and subside after about a week. Sudden withdrawal by heavily dependent users who are in poor health can be fatal.
Treatment of Heroin Addiction
The first step in overcoming heroin addiction is drug detox – the process of cleansing the body of the harmful toxins found in heroin. There are two primary types of heroin detox – natural and medical. With natural detox, the individual goes "cold turkey", ceasing intake of the drug entirely and allow their body to readjust. This method can bring about very uncomfortable withdrawal symptoms that often lead to relapse.
Those individuals who are fearful of heavy withdrawal symptoms may choose medical detox. The most common form of medical heroin detox is methadone treatment. Methadone is a synthetic opiate given in gradually smaller and smaller doses until the individual has overcome their physical heroin addiction. The main benefit of methadone detox is the reduced withdrawal symptoms during this particular type of detox treatment.

Everyone that has curly hair wants straight and vice versa. One of the biggest problems of the summer is frizzy hair. Take it from someone who had to put a ton of hair spray when she had her senior picture taken. But I was given a gift . I was sent a package of goodies from Gabrielle Union . They call the line Flawless and that is just it has done made my hair flawless when it was straightened. It has made it silky and soft. The shampoo and conditioner have a golden color and a great smell. Flawless also works on color treated hair and doesn't fade it. It not only takes care of the frizzies and heals damaged hair, it also strengthens hair. It is also cruelty free .
I highly recommend the products. Through the years with wind, and chemicals , and harsh lights, I have had my hair damaged a lot. These products, including the hair repair masque have started to repair some of the damage. Thanks to Gabrielle Union, my hair is back on the road to recovery.
You can find Gabrielle Union's products at Ulta and online

I have been given the opportunity to move into some 12x12 stables but worry that they would be too small for a 17.2 and a 16.3hh any thoughts welcome. Thanks in advance
I have been given the opportunity to move into some 12x12 stables but worry that they would be too small for a 17.2 and a 16.3hh any thoughts welcome. Thanks in advance
Thats the smallest I'd be comfortable with for big horses, but plenty of horses live in 12x12 stables very happily. As long as they have plenty of turnout, I'm sure they'll be fine.
My stables are 12x12, and my open fronted bays are 12x14. The big guys look like they fit better in the bays, even though there's not a huge difference in size. They don't seem to have a preference though - they just like to be where the food is

Thanks Auslander, yeah my big lad will go anywhere as long as he has his food aswell lol xx
Mine is in a 12x12, he is over 17hh and will prob end up 17.2hh.
In an ideal world I'd like a bigger stable but equally stable size is only one consideration when choosing a yard and there are other factors that can make a smaller stable an acceptable compromise
I choose to keep my 18.1hh draught horse in an oversize stable (14x14) with half day t/o in winter but there are horses on my yard in 12x12s who are up to 18hh (tb/wb types). I guess it would depend on the build of the 17.2 for me: if it's very chunky and long I might view it differently to a short, skinny one.
I certainly wouldn't be worrying about putting a 16.3hh in a 12x12!
I have a big lad and would say that 12x 12 is a bit on the tight side, but that's not to say I haven't seen big horses happy in this size box.
Aside from horse finding it a little small I would probably be most worried about the mucking out, if yours produces as much fertiliser as mine does I wouldn't want to be mucking out a box with limited space and more chance of it getting stomped on!
