Gift of Shares
Gift of Shares
Giving via shares is one of the most tax efficient ways to support St Peter's and may enable you to do more for the College than you could via a cash donation.
You do not have to pay Capital Gains Tax* on any shares you give and you can write off the full value of your gift against your tax liability in the year when you give the shares. Put simply, by donating shares to St Peter's, you can get Income Tax Relief (at either basic rate 20% or the higher rate 40%) on the full market value of the quoted shares – the relief is against your income tax for the year. Also, you will not have to pay any Capital Gains Tax on any increase in the value of the shares since they were bought.
There are two ways of making your gift of shares to St Peter's. The first is to give the shares to the College to sell. The second, and our preferred option, is for you to acquire a letter of authorisation from the College beforehand to cover the sale and then sell the shares and donate the proceeds to the College. If this procedure is followed then Capital Gains Tax will still be avoided and you will be able to write off the income tax liability on the full value.
If you would like to make a gift of shares please contact Andrew Thomas (telephone: +44 (0)1865 278996)
* If you purchased two batches of the same shares, you must first give away those you purchased most recently.

North Korea has asked the UN security council to call for a new investigation into the March sinking of a South Korean warship.
The North's ambassador Sin Son-ho wrote to the council, offering to cooperate with the South in a new probe.
North Korea has rejected the conclusion of an international investigation panel that it torpedoed and sank the Cheonan.
In a letter to the Security Council dated Tuesday, Sin called for "high-level military talks" between the two Koreas.
He also reiterated the North's call for its own inspection team to be sent to the site of the sinking near the tense Korean sea border.

New 'cover-up' claim over Iraq Red Cap killings
A HERO Para who survived a battle that led to the murder of six Red Caps in Iraq has provided new evidence of a cover-up, claim their families.
The war veteran claims the shooting of the Royal Military Policemen by an Iraqi mob was partly due to the fact the Paras had no idea the area was a powder keg.
The Red Caps were surrounded by a 400-strong mob after the Paras escaped an ambush in the town of Majar al-Kabir in June 2003.
The military police were there to liaise with Iraqi officers and did not know the Paras were operating at the other end of the town.
They only had 50 ammunition rounds each and no satellite phone.
The ex-NCO, who wants to remain anonymous, claims the Parachute Regiment was told there was "no threat" to troops in the Al Majar region, north of Basra.
This directly contradicts the conclusions of a 2005 Army board of inquiry that said the Paras had been told there could be violence.
The veteran has given a statement to a solicitor representing four of the dead soldiers' families.
He said: "At the briefing we were told no threat to us existed on that day. I went into the village thinking it would be a milk run. I was shocked at the level of violence we faced.
"They believe the Army failed in its obligations to protect the lives of soldiers and to carry out a proper investigation into their deaths"
"There is no doubt we would have gone into the operation differently if we had known the facts."
The families of Corporals Russell Aston, 30, and Simon Miller, 21, and Lance Corporals Benjamin Hyde, 23, and Tom Keys, 20, are bringing a claim under the Human Rights Act to try to force a public inquiry.
They believe the Army failed in its obligations to protect the lives of soldiers and to carry out a proper investigation into their deaths.
The other two men who died were Sergeant Simon Hamilton-Jewell, 41, and Corporal Paul Long, 24.
Lawyer Simon McKay, acting for the families, said: "This new evidence demonstrates why a proper inquiry is necessary."
An MoD spokesman said: "Our thoughts remain with the families of those killed in this terrible incident.
"However, the circumstances have been investigated extensively and reported on and no practical purpose would be served by holding a public inquiry."

Stacked Quotes (displaying: 1 - 10 of 98 quotes )
A reader's tastes are peculiar. Choosing books to read is like making your way down a remote and winding path. Your stops on that path are always idiosyncratic. One book leads to another and another the way one thought leads to another and another. My type of reader is the sort who burrows through the stacks in the bookstore or the library (or the Web site? stacks are stacks), yielding to impulse and instinct.
Books are what you step on to take you to a higher shelf. The higher your stack of books, the higher the shelf you can reach. Want to reach higher? Stack some more books under your feet! Reading is what brings us to new knowledge. It opens new doors. It helps us understand mysteries. It lets us hear from successful people. Reading is what takes us down the road in our journey. Everything you need for a better future and success has already been written.
Lost opportunities, lost possibilities, feelings we can never get back. That's part of what it means to be alive. But inside our heads - at least that's where I imagine it - there's a little room where we store those memories. A room like the stacks in this library. And to understand the workings of our own heart we have to keep on making new reference cards. We have to dust things off every once in awhile, let in fresh air, change the water in the flower vases. In other words, you'll live forever in your own private library.
He was asking too many questions and he was asking them too quickly. They were stacking up in my head like loaves in the factory where Uncle Terry works. The factory is a bakery and he operates the slicing machines. And sometimes a slicer is not working fast enough but the bread keeps coming and there is a blockage. I sometimes think of my mind as a machine, but not always as a bread-slicing machine. It makes it easier to explain to other people what is going on inside it.
When you eat a carrot that is nothing but carrot it zooms through your system as a carrot. When you eat a piece of mass-produced carrot cake that contains 32 ingredients, your metabolism screeches to a halt while your body tries to figure out what all those things are that you just swallowed, and what it is supposed to do with them. Therefore, the problem isn't "fat", its piles of excess ingredients your body's stacked on shelves and vowed to sort out later.

can you change the taskbar clock and icons
the only item left id like to change is when i click on the clock on the task bar wich for me is the far right bottom corner of my desktop the time and date pop up, and i was wondering if i can change that ugly plain white clock to well any thing different. Any one have any ideas? Also now that ive noticed that what about the buttons in the notification area, the volume icon, battery/plugin icon, wifi ect wear can i find ways to change them. thanks and I <3 sevenforums
|My System Specs
|14 Mar 2010
If you are talking about the clock along-with the calendar, till now I have no idea . But about notification area icons you are to change some system files to replace them. For example, ActionCenter.dll for systray action center icon, SndVolSSO.dll for volume control icon, etc. These dll's are generally situated in C:\Windows\System32.
In order to replace them, you are to take ownership of the files you are trying to replace. To do that, You may go through the tutorial about Take Ownership of file , or simply add take ownership in your right click menu using the registry files included in the zip :)

I don't like the date being displayed. Is there some way I can replace it with a larger-font 24-hour-time clock? And is there a way to center the taskbar icons? The one way I can find is to create a new empty taskbar, but that doesn't do what I want -- they're all still the same distance apart.

High Desert Collection (PCGS Set Registry)
David Hall: The 1915-D is scarce in circulated condition and very scarce in uncirculated condition. In MS64 or better, it is actually rarer than the 1914-D and 1916-D. In Gem condition, the 1915-D is about as rare as other early D and S Mint Buffalos such as the 1914-D, 1914-S, 1915-S, 1916-D and 1917-D. Most 1915-Ds are well struck and luster can either be satiny or somewhat frosty.

Washington: The number of different marine eukaryotic organisms could reach up to 972,000, according to researchers.
CSIC has participated in the international research, conducted by 270 taxonomists from 32 countries. The current number of marine species identified is roughly 230,000.
Every taxonomist has calculated the number of existing species within their specialty and estimated the number that remain to be discovered, both through statistical models as based on the experience of each expert.
According to Enrique Macpherson, researcher at the Center for Advanced Studies of Blanes (CEAB-CSIC, Spain), who has participated in the study: "Bringing together the leading taxonomists around the world to pool their information has been the great merit of this research."
The statistical prediction is based on the rate of description for new species in recent decades.
The results show that the total number of marine species would be about 540,000. However, this number ranges from 320,000 to 760,000.
Meanwhile, the experts have made another estimation based on their experience and on a projection of the number of species found in the sampled areas.
According to this prediction, the number of species ranges from 704,000 to 972,000.
All the information pooled by the experts show that just 230,000 species are correctly described.
In fact, researchers found about 170,000 cases of synonymy among previously known species. That is, one single species described under two (or more) different names.
Among the order, for instance, of cetaceans (Cetacea), researchers have found that there are 1,271 different names applied to just 87 species.
CSIC researcher Damia Jaume, from the Mediterranean Institute for Advanced Studies (IMEDEA, CSIC-UIB) and also involved in the study, states: "the best known is the species, and its greater size and commercial interest, the most common is synonymy."
Of the roughly 230,000 marine species known, about 200,000 belong to the kingdom Animalia; 7,600 to Plantae; 19,500 to Chromista; 550 to Protista; and 1,050 to Fungi.
The research has only counted with eukaryote organisms, i.e. those whose genetic information is enclosed in a cell nucleus, which has left out bacteria, viruses, and archaea.
The research data suggest that there are still about two-thirds of marine species to be described, most of which would already be inventoried.

All this free adult xxx tales and hot sex stories are written for your erotic pleasure only.
On this pages you will find a great collection of stories, and I really hope that everybody will find a proper thematic, to satisfies own erotic fantasies. Fun For Four I had been dating Lynn for about three weeks.
I had only just turned eighteen, and had never really had a proper sexual relationship, even though I had lost my virginity a few years earlier. Lynn and I hadn't gone all the way just yet, we had just had some fun, she was so good at sucking me, I loved to stroke her long dark hair as she did it.
Whenever I came, she would swallow it all up fast, and look up at me and smile as if to say "That was great baby. I kissed her first, my tongue moving around her mouth. As I did this, I cupped her large breasts in my hands, slipped her top over her head, and placed my hand inside her cup, twisting and pulling at her nipple.
Eventually I removed the bra and sucked on her full breasts, switching from one to the other, as I held her hands in mine. She let out soft little moans as I did this, and after practically no time at all she had removed her skirt and panties, and was motioning that I invade her little pussy with my tongue. Of course I did as she asked and after no time at all she released her sticky sweet load. After this we just broke free and I fucked her harder than anyone before.
She screamed louder than ever when I came inside her. I shouted out that I fucking loved her. As we lay there in a post-sexual daze, my hand gently massaging her pussy, she asked me if I had ever done it with another guy before. I was taken aback by this question, considering we had just had this great sex, but nevertheless I answered her and told her that I hadn't. She asked me if I would like to, as her friend Lauren had told her that she thought a foursome would be a laugh. I will admit I was excited at the prospect, I had always felt different about Lauren's boyfriend Dan.
I never thought of myself as bi-sexual, yet I found myself telling Lynn that I had always wanted to suck on a man's cock. So Lynn got up and made the call, and in about 10 minutes Lauren and Dan knocked on the door.
Lynn answered, and to my surprise, as soon as we all got back upstairs, Lynn and Lauren started kissing passionately, and gripping each other's breasts. Dan and I looked at each other, both wondering. I was wondering what he would say if I kissed him, I think he was wondering the same thing, as we slowly moved towards each other.
As our tongues explored each other's mouths, I began to grow confident, and I placed my hand around Dan's cock through his pants. It must have been at least 8 inches, I was amazed. He looked at me and nodded, and I unzipped his pants, removed his underwear, and buried that huge cock in my mouth. I could not believe how much fun I was having with this huge pecker between my lips, and as Dan told me he was about to blow, I eagerly awaited his deposit. As he came, I could not believe how sweet his load tasted, and I swallowed it all down.
He told me it was his turn, and he removed my dick from my pants and played with it in his hands, getting it nice and hard. Then he plunged his mouth downwards and onto my stiffening knob. I came almost instantly. It was only a moment later when I realised that Lauren and Lynn were watching us, and Dan and I decided to put on a show for them. We managed to get into a '69', both bathing each other's genitals.
The girls were obviously excited by this, and to mine and Dan's surprise they grabbed the other girl's partner and sucked on his cock. Lauren was so good at sucking my cock, even better than Dan. I thought how much fun it must be for them when they fuck. As I blew my third load of the night, Lauren looked up at me, and looked back at my cock, and instead of swallowing the sweet cum, she kissed me with it still between her sweet lips.
I was surprised how my own semen tasted, I liked it. I think Lauren sensed this, because she moved her lips and the mixture of cum and saliva escaped, running down both of our chests. I looked at Lauren's breasts. They were a lot bigger than Lynn's, must have been a DD. Lauren held her left breast in her hand, and twisted her nipple until it became hard and erect. She beckoned for me to suck on it, and or course I obliged. As I kissed, licked, sucked and massaged her great breasts, I let my hands slip down to her pussy, and began to slip my finger, very gently, in and out, in and out.
I knew Lauren would love this, and as I slowly masturbated her pussy for her, while still sucking her tit, she let out loud moans, which as I slammed my fingers in harder, turned to pleasured screams.
She blew about a minute later, her sweet goo covering my hand. I knew what she wanted me to do with it, so I rubbed my hand over her breast, then proceeded to lick the cum from it. Meanwhile, Lynn and Dan were having a great time. Dan was jamming his erect penis in and out of Lynn's little ass while Lynn screamed for mercy. The four of us looked at each other, and we all agreed that pairing off had been fun, but a REAL foursome was what we all wanted.
There was something I had always wanted to try, and I told the others. We all put our heads together, and all four of us kissed at once. The pleasure of having three hot tongues on my own was such a great one, I was aslmost6 ready to cum right then!
But I saved it for when the real fun started. We got into a sexual rhythm, in this order: Dan was at the front, groaning as Lynn gave him a monster blowjob. Lauren was underneath Lynn, licking and sucking at her pussy, flicking her clit with her tongue. I followed up at the rear literally , as I fucked Lauren's ass harder than I'd ever fucked an ass before. We were all screaming and moaning, this was the best moment of my life. We all then changed positions, Dan and I fucking our girlfriends up their asses, while they kissed and touched each other's breasts.
We got a great rhythm going, and soon we were all screaming in unison. Dan blew his load into Lauren first, she stopped kissing Lynn, and fell to her knees in sexual ecstasy. Lynn saw this chance and pushed Lauren's head into her pussy. Lauren knew exactly what her friend wanted and lapped up Lauren's pussy, and the outbreak of cum which spurted out.
While those two beautiful women played with each other, Dan and I sat and watched. He started wanking off my cock, pulling it up and down, harder and harder, and pretty soon I was doing the same to him as we watched our little bitches fuck each other.

Free Tribal Trails 2017 Wall Calendar
Tribal Trails is a ministry seeking to bring what they believe is the world's most needed message of hope to everyone who will tune in, but particularly to North America's First Peoples.
It's no secret that, world-wide, there have been many barriers encountered in the proclamation of the good news. Efforts to reach Canada's First Peoples have certainly not been exempt from obstructions. Large distances over formidable territory, scattered populations, linguistic and racial barriers have all made the Church's task difficult.
In 1982 they began telecasting the half-hour program, Tribal Trails, which continues to bring the good news to thousands of First Nations homes across the country each week. They're a ministry department of Northern Canada Evangelical Mission (NCEM).
Each year they're happy to offer their full-color Tribal Trails wall calendar free of charge. Each month always includes a few scripture verses. You may want to request extra calendars to share with others. Contact them to request yours, while supplies last.
This offer is only valid for residents of:
- Canada
- United States

I'm unsure of the number of "constants" that exist, but I can recall two off the top of my head: change and God's unchanging love.
Doesn't everyone have a story of rejection … and of failure?
The trick is to not allow these goblins to immobilize us.
Instead refuse to be sabotaged because it isn't doom rather just another step toward the treat of achieving dreams.
Doesn't that feel good?
Do the next thing.
Your life has meaning.
Change happens and yet the Lord's love is constant.
Choice: trick or treat?

Comparing the advantages of Christmas shopping online and doing it the old-fashioned way in a shop, I find there is far too much "personal touch" online. The minute you click on "Buy", you invite a cascade of emails.
Your inbox fills with messages addressing you by your first name, telling you they have received your order, informing you that they are processing your order and announcing that your order has been dispatched. (Don't be deceived by that word "dispatch". This means it has been moved from the back of the warehouse to the front of the warehouse, or to another warehouse somewhere outside Chester.)
When it arrives, it comes in a box which is far too big and mostly stuffed with air-filled plastic bags or polystyrene worms. Now your new online friends will want to tell you about all sorts of other things you might also want but certainly don't. As Christmas gets closer the emails become more shrill. All because you bought one lousy embroidered cushion. Exclamation marks abound. Stocking fillers! Special offer! Vouchers! They are now your friends for life.
Contrast this with a simple transaction in a shop. Or compare it with the restful experience in a department store, queuing at an understaffed cash desk or testing your skills in a game of hunt-the-assistant. You can observe other shoppers. Some are in a trance (perhaps, like you, they just walked through the perfume department), others are incredibly organised and know exactly what they want. Some pick up and finger 86 things, put them down again and leave. Then there are the smells: the sickly odour of scented candles, the whiff of warm plastic coming from the toy department and a hint of pine from the Christmas tree.
Only the in-store music detracts from this uplifting experience. After the 55th time, Walking in a Winter Wonderland will send you scurrying back to your computer.

Football fans are being ripped off for "more and more profit" by an FA in hock to TV money, an MP has claimed.
Shadow Sports minister Clive Efford accused the FA of "marginalising" ordinary supporters with the way it arranges matches for TV.
It comes after this Sunday's crunch FA cup tie between Sheffield United and Charlton Athletic was re-scheduled for 12pm - even though no trains arrive from London until after kick-off.
The first train to Sheffield leaves London Euston at 8.20am - arriving in Sheffield almost four hours later at 12.07pm.
Thousands of fans face being left stranded for the game - one of the biggest in the club's history.
The game will be broadcast live on BT Sport with both United and Charlton picking up £247,500 from The FA in live broadcast fees.
The winning team will get to pocket a further £360,000 from The FA Cup prize fund.
But Mr Efford said: "In the rush to attract more and more profit from commercial deals the fans are becoming more and more marginalised.
"This is short termism of the worst kind. The TV product is nothing without stadiums full of fans."
The decision to bring forward the time of the game comes despite widespread fury over the FA's decision to move last year's cup final to 5.15pm.
Manchester City and Wigan were left facing a mad rush to make the last train from London Euston to Manchester at 9pm and 8.31pm for Wigan.
If the game had gone into extra time and penalties a return by train would have been impossible.
The FA said South Yorkshire Police would not allow the game to go ahead at Bramall Lane on Saturday because they also have to look after other Championship games nearby - between Barnsley and Nottingham Forest and Doncaster Rovers and Huddersfield Town.
"UEFA regulations" also ban matches being broadcast live between 2.45pm and 5.15pm on Saturdays.
This left the FA with no choice but to shift the game to Sunday, the FA claimed.
A spokesman for The FA said: "We have been in regular discussion with Charlton Athletic who have assured us that they are providing an effective and affordable travel option for their fans."
Charlton have arranged a special coach service for fans wanting to go to the game at £22 a head.

Scan the websites of the leading Tea Party political organizations and one will soon see among the group's top issues is preventing the federal government from becoming too large and powerful. As a rule, Tea Party members are suspicious of too much power being centralized in any one place within government.
With that in mind, it was surprising late Tuesday afternoon when scanning the Senate roll call vote on former Sen. Chuck Hagel's nomination to become U.S. defense secretary. Voting "yay" were four GOP senators. One was Hagel's home-state Sen. Mike Johanns of Nebraska. That's local politics at play, so it makes sense that Johanns would help send a Nebraskan to the E-Ring. Also voting for Hagel were two former Senate colleagues, Sens. Thad Cochran of Mississippi and Richard Shelby of Alabama. And, of course, Sen. Rand Paul of Kentucky — wait, what?!
It turns out that was no typo. Paul, who earlier Tuesday had voted to keep alive debate on Hagel's controversial nomination, had indeed voted to confirm him.
What gives, senator?
"I voted no [to end debate] because I wanted more information. I think part of the advise and consent [function] that the Senate does is to try and get information about the nominee," Paul told reporters as he left the Senate chamber. "But I've said all along I give the president some prerogative in choosing his political appointees. There are many things I disagree with Chuck Hagel on. … There are very few things I agree with the president on. But the president gets to choose political appointees."
To summarize, a skeptic of government power voted with the chief executive based on a philosophical belief that the president should be granted the ability to pick his senior-most advisers, giving those individuals tremendous power as senior government officials.
Your correspondent will go out on a limb here. Paul's vote on Tuesday had very little to do with Charles T. Hagel. It had almost nothing to do with Barack H. Obama, a president Paul has fiercely criticized on a long list of issues. To be sure, Paul had an eye on late January 2017, when a new president will be sworn in and will have to construct a Cabinet.
Does the junior senator from Kentucky — who already has established a national brand and following — have presidential ambitions? You bet. Here's what he told ABC News late last year: "I'm not going to deny that I'm interested." It seems clear the Tea Party's new national face wants a lot of say over whom he would pick as Cabinet officials in a Paul administration. How ironic.
The 2016 presidential campaign has begun.

Guitar Gerry is a guitar and bass teaching studio.
Our customized lessons are created to meet your individual needs, which include theory and application.
It is also a recording studio and a place for Gerard to compose film and TV music.
We guarantee affordable rates that are tailored to meet your budget and a fun learning atmosphere.
"I have been taking guitar lessons from Gerry for about 8 months. I am 56 years old and always wanted to learn to play guitar. I had been trying to teach myself with limited results. I contacted Gerry as he had taught my daughter years ago. I was tentative to go initially. From the very start, Gerry made it an incredibly comfortable process. He tailored my lessons to where I was at with the guitar and what type of music I wanted to learn. In 8 short months I am playing some great songs, have learned a number of chords, and learned how to finger pick. I love how quickly this has happened. My guitar lessons are the highlight of my week. I can now play over 25 songs comfortably. And, my daughter continues to play as a result of her lessons. I cannot recommend him highly enough."
When I was 9 years old and, at the time, could speak little english, my parents signed me up for my first guitar lesson with Gerry Pittet who teaches in french and english. This was the beginning of a beautiful journey into becoming a confident guitar player, a musicophile, and developing an ear for boundless territories of melody. Our 9 year journey managed to encompass blues and rock'n'roll while touching on a lot of funk and fusion, we mingled with classical guitar while managing to blend in some heavy metal chops all the way to creative songwriting, improvisation, and jazzy extended harmony. You name it, you'll learn it, and, if you are not too sure of what you want to practice this week, he'll expose you to something even cooler to jam! Gerry is the best music teacher I could've ever asked for and was absolutely a great influence in my upbringing through not only music and its intricate history but also into becoming the well-rounded individual I am today. This man is amazing!
I bought my first guitar around 12 years ago, thinking I could teach myself to play. After several months of frustration I had given up and hung it on the wall,Around 9 years later I received a copy of Rocksmith as Christmas gift I was trying again to learn but struggling with strumming and picking patterns. That's when I found Gerry's add, we met and talked about what I wanted to learn, what kind of music I liked. Gerry tailored my lessons based on that information. I can now play a large number of songs, the journey has been fun and Gerry has been amazing along the way.
I have been taught by Gerry for about 4 or 5 years now, and his teaching and mentorship have made me into the player I am today. He takes whatever style you like and builds on it and keeps introducing new ideas and concepts. And, not only has he made me into a great guitarist, but has also made me a great musician as well. I highly recommend him to anyone who likes music, and I cool guy to hang out with too.
Gerry makes learning guitar an adventure and best of all he makes it enjoyable. His musical knowledge is diverse, he is extremely flexible and above all, patient.
I was on the Internet looking for video lessons and ran into Gerry's website. Phoned him up, agreed on a few genres, styles and started expanding my guitar knowledge. It's been about a year and as a self-taught guitarist I welcome the detail that Gerry brings into the material and have begun to see many relationships that are useful in day to day playing. Our sessions are by FaceTime and it is convenient to communicate between Canadian provinces to learn the material using audio visual. Gerry is punctual and consistent with scheduled session times and flexible when changes are required. Tablature is very accurate and clear to cut the frustration of learning lead lines. Gerry has made custom tab available for songs on my 'wish list.' If there are any questions they can be addressed to the tab writer at the next session. For the above reasons and more I am more than pleased with Gerry's instruction.

My 20 month old is going on 10yrs old.He is very stubborn and defient?
2 answers
In the last month or so his attitude has done a complete 180 degrees. He used to never really whine or get fussy unless he was wet, hungry or tired. This last month he has been that way with every thing! Even if you are trying to do fun stuff with him. He will push your hand away and refuse help! Mr. Independent! And sometimes no matter what I do or try it does not seem to not work. I have been doing "time-outs" all day long. I have now started putting that gate up in the doorway to his room and putting him in his room for a "time-out", because he never actually stays in a "time-out" chair. The word "No" means nothing to him and when I pick him up to move him away from what ever it may be at the time that he is not suppose to be doing he screams and flails around. It is getting hard to bring him out in public because of his "Tantrums." Any suggestions are welcomed! :)
answers (2)
Is he teething? He should be working on his second set of molars and his canines some time soon. Those teeth are quite painful as the cut through and they are slow to come in. That irritation can make for some major fussiness. If he is teething, try some teething tablets, they worked wonders for my kids.Or, it could be the beginning of the "terrible twos". They actually go in 6 month cycles starting around 18 months when kids begin to go through big emotional and physical development. The emtional development often makes kids want to exercise more control in their lives, often in the form of tantrums. Make sure you give your son the option to make choices whenever you can. Let him choose between two shirts when you change his clothes, two snacks, two bedtime stories, etc. I've done this with my kids since they were just a fw months old and it definitely makes things a lot easier. They get to make decisions for themselves and I get fewer tantrums.Finally, make sure you're consistent with your discipline. Explain why certain behaviors aren't allowed (when he's misbehaving), give him two chances to stop and if he doesn't, remove him from the situation. Give him a time out, take away a toy he's throwing, leave a store if he's yelling, etc. Explain why he can't do what he's doing and what will happen if he doesn't stop, give him the option of stopping on his own, and follow through with whatever punishment is appropriate for the situation. It takes a lot of work and it can be frustrating, but it does work.And, if you end up having more kids, start the discipline early! My kids learned early on that good behavior in pubolic got them lots of attention and once they started crawling they learned what "no" meant. I've always felt like a super strict mama and I would feel weird when other parents would give me looks. But, with two toddlers (16 months and almost 3 years) it's important. And my husband and I have been getting compliments on what great parents we are befause of how cute and well behaved our kids are, so I know the work (and the looks from other moms) is definitely worth it!
I agree with the above. Remember, every mom goes thru this, but not every mom is resolved enough to do what needs to be done. I agree about the teething, it affects each child differently. And the word 'no' means nothing without consistent consequences, you can't change your mind after you say 'no'. I say stick with the timeouts. I don't think his entire room should be the timeout spot and the timeout spot shouldn't be in his room. Watch some suppernanny, I like her method. Sometimes you have to be strong and just put him in the timeout spot 30 times knowing that you're doing what NEEDS to be done, and it will get better. The flailing is common at this age... and beyond. Don't shun his independence, it is the ultimate goal after all! :) I've always pushed my own kids & my preschool students (15-30 mos) to be independent. I think it fosters an intelligent, self-confident child. I agree with giving choices for the same reason. I always say to assume a child can do much more than what you've seen them do. It's a great thing to behold when they do. For example, I had students that would take their shoes off even though they'd been told not to. They'd bring me their slip-on shoes or buckle mary janes and ask me to put them on. The other teacher in the class would put them on for them, even if we were in no hurry to go somewhere, because she's that type of mother - she does way too much for her own kids (wiping booties at 7 y.o. is too much). I on the other hand will sit in the floor and teach them how to do it themselves even if their own mothers do it for them. Why shouldn't they? Nobody will claim it's child abuse to make kids learn to put their own shoes on, even if they don't want to. At the very least, kindergartners are smart enough to be taught to open milk cartons, tie their shoes, and button/zip their pants, or moms should buy slip-on/velcro shoes and pull-up elastic waist pants. Now I'm an elementary school teacher and I'm amazed how much food gets thrown away every day at lunch. I poll the kids that do this and they all have the same answer; they don't pack their own lunch. My kids have been packing their lunch since 3rd grade. I buy the food, they choose the night before what they want, make it, and I randomly check them to make sure they're balanced and to see what's 'on trend' for each of them. They do have guidelines (protein, fruit, & salty or sweet), they can't pack just chips and cookies! I also ask them to bring home anything they don't eat so I can buy something different if I need to (unless it leeks!). Since they're 'in charge' of their lunches, very little is wasted. Do set up some boundaries NOW in regards to what you expect for behavior and don't let him 'wear you down'. My friends & I also discovered that it's important that other caregivers (dad, grandma) are made aware of and SUPPORT the 'expected behavior' that you're establishing with your child/children. I had a friend that couldn't even go to the grocery store at night because she couldn't get her husband to not 'give in' to their daughter and he 'undid' 2 weeks of potty training in one bathroom visit. I can tell you that you HAVE to be more stubborn than your children, and calm stubbornness is the best for everybody. I know it's hard, but you have to turn off that part of your brain that wants to do ANYthing to make him stop crying, especially when he's crying because he's just not getting his way. But don't be so stubborn that you can't alter your discipline 'plan' if it just isn't working, but not after only trying a couple of days depending on what you're trying to accomplish and how stubborn he can be. One of my twins came out of the birth canal trying to control the world. It has been a daily (hourly?) battle that takes a good portion of my dwindling brain power to fight. You may have heard this before, but it doesn't get any easier! Your 'expected behavior' can change & evolve weekly, sometimes daily when kids bodies & minds are growing & changing so rapidly. You need to be strong EVERY day, 'cause the next day will likely present you with a new battle. Don't get defeated, just get resolved. JMHO. I have a 17 yo and 2 13 yo. I have always received compliments on their behavior & manners which I really believe has aided in their high intelligence. It takes/has taken a LOT of resolve, blood, sweat, tears and prayer.

Feel Me Up Friday: I eat hair and junk
I'm not feeling, you know, IT, today. So let's just get to it, shall we?
Random Fact: I went to the store with good intentions. Intentions count for something, don't they? I wanted to get some fruit and junk, but when I got home and put the food away, it seems the fruit stayed behind and all I had was junk #badcandy
Random Fact: When the offspring and I ate dinner, I noticed a string of hair connected to the bite I was chewing. But I kept chewing until the hair was mixed with food. And swallowed. I ate my hair. #weirdcandy
Oh, crap. I'm stuffed. Oh wait. This wasn't suppose to be about food? Well then...
Candyland has a bit of a headache (leftovers from last night's migraine doozy), so you tell me: What did you have for dinner last night? Was hair involved?
Candyland. OUT.

A nice big pork chop! Needed some iron. :o) That hair thing reminds me of a girl I knew who though she had an eyelash stuck in her eye. She finally found it and pulled it out. But it kept coming and coming and coming (she had really long hair btw) It had wrapped itself around the back of her eyeball!!!!

funny thing about dinner last night, the doctor put me on some crazy pills that make me eat and nauseous if i dont. we went out to play and got back home around 7 I was so hungry I grabbed the leftover couscous from lunch and scarfed it down (I always feed my kid 1st) the husband and toddler just stared at me like I was going crazy. I was too hungry to offer an explanation. if there was hair in my food oh well it tasted yummy.

Okay, this is sad. I actually had to strain my brain cells to remember what I ate for dinner. Which is really sad consider the drama I went through the get the damn pork tenderloin in the first place. ;)
No, for once my food was hair free. Not easy these day since both my daughter and I have long hair. Only hers is blond and mine is brown.

I love the crispiness of turning page after page while reading a book. But then browsing, taking out time to buy these and above all shelling out money on the supposedly great publications is a big task, especially when trying to explore a new title. Why not rely on a medium that allows you instant and free access to endless titles out there? Yes, I am referring to the e-books, which are available for a free download on thousands of public libraries available across America.
The paid e-books can be downloaded from commercial portals like Amazon, iTunes or Google Play. While there are several ways to lay your hands on e-books the most popular one to borrow books is through the OverDrive Media Console app.
OverDrive is truly an easy to use popular app, but you can also try other apps like Freading, Aldiko, OneClickdigital (audiobooks) and Fregal Music.
So what are you thinking? Just download the app and enjoy reading!

When problems like Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS), chronic gas/bloating, diarrhea, constipation, crohns or colitis arise, it can be difficult to know what to do or where to turn.
Paramus, NJ -- (SBWIRE) -- 03/31/2014 -- Many will take over-the-counter medications and treatments for short-term relief, however, for long-term relief many people are now turning to holistic health options which include nutrition like diets and supplements. Naturopathic doctor, Robert Galarowicz, specializes in nutritional and holistic natural ways to heal the body including digestive problems such as IBS and those listed.
Debilitating discomfort, pain, bloating, flatulence, heartburn, constipation, and diarrhea caused by IBS, improper digestion, inflammatory bowel disorders or other digestive health problems can be a nuisance in a person's personal and work life. From gut wrenching abdominal pain to embarrassing gas, digestive health problems play a large role in someone's life and these problems can often times limit activities for sufferers. No matter how long someone has been suffering from digestive problems such as IBS, acid reflux, heart burn or how many types of treatment someone has tried, Doctor Robert Galarowicz can help through natural and effective methods like diet, nutrition, stress reduction and other means.
One client, Martha Thorpe, says, "I followed the recommendations of Dr. Robert, It worked! My IBS, bloaint and stomach abdominal pain started to improve after about a day and after the first week, the pain, diarrhea and acid reflux was gone!"
Doctor Galarowicz can help clients with digestive problems including Inflammatory bowel disorders like colitis, ulcerative colitis and other digestive disorders like diverticulitis, Chron's disease, Celiac disease, acid reflux, heartburn, GERD, gallstones, hiatal hernia, peptic ulcers, ulcers, and gastritis just to name a few.
Since there is no one-size-fits-all approach to holistic medicine, Doctor Galarowicz alters remedies to each specific client. Through diet and other lifestyle changes, Doctor Galarowicz can help clients reduce or even eliminate symptoms of digestive problems.
"It always felt like my throat was on fire from the acid reflux and I was bloated all the time. I had to buy pants with elastic waistbands because my stomach would grow within hours! After following [Doctor Galarowicz's] advice, in a few days, I was able to put back on my regular pants without the elastic bands and the heartburn subsided. I have had no problems with acid reflux since," says Brianna Johnson of Howell, New Jersey.
Doctor Galarowicz has a 96 percent success rate with clients. With suggestions made by Doctor Galarowicz, clients will experience long lasting relief, a properly functioning digestive system, higher energy levels, and improved moods.

The Reagan administration's plan to phase out at least two major funding programs to cities is a big bluff, according to Bethlehem Community Development Director James McCarthy.
Bethlehem Mayor Paul Marcincin and Business Administrator Jack Downing attended a U.S. Conference of Mayors meeting over the weekend in Washington, where inaugural festivities overshadowed the conference. Marcincin complained yesterday that few federal officials attended the mayors' meetings and events.

Yuletide Wish (Christmas Poetry)
Yuletide Wish
This Yuletide wish
For friendship and fun
From an Antipodean
Son of a gun.
Is sent to all my Hubber friends,
With love and gratitude,
For your encouragement
From 30 degree S latitude.
May your Christmas be joyful
And all wishes come true.
May angels watch over you
And Santa Claus too.
But amidst all the presents
And celebration this season,
Please acknowledge our saviour
As Christmas' true reason.
Do you always have a white Christmas?
Wish Him Merry Christmas
Hear the jingle of the bells,
Holly decks the halls,
A Christmas tree with sparkling lights,
And tinsel on the walls.
To see the presents brightly wrapped
makes my Christmas sad.
There's one for Tom, and Mom, and me,
But not a one, marked 'Dad'.
My Daddy's gone away you see,
He isn't coming home.
Mom said he's got another life,
But I'm sure he is alone.
Dad misses us, I know he does,
He told me on the phone.
But Mommy doesn't want him back,
She said "The bird has flown".
I wrote to Santa Claus last night,
And scribbled on my pad,
"I don't want any other gifts,
Just please bring back my Dad."
"But if you can't convince him,
And apart we must remain,
Then wish him "Merry Christmas",
From his loving daughter, Jane.
Hope you had a wonderful Christmas, Jodah.
Thank you, Jodah, for the inspiring poetic wish. May your Yuletide be merry, too.
Thanks for the Christmas poem!
Merry Christmas, thank you for the Holiday wishes. jamie
Beautiful poem and with a great reminder regarding the season.
I also loved the video. This was the first time I had heard Tim Minchin.
He had some pretty awesome lines in his song.
I wish you and your family Merry Christmas.
Voted Up/Shared.

Merry Christmas to you and your family, Jodah.
Happy Holidays to you and your family...:)
Nice poem Jodah. I never seem to rhyme my poetry, but I can appreciate other people who do. Have a Blessed Christmas.
Kind and fun. Merry Xmas down under.
Hi Jodah...
"Please acknowledge our saviour
As Christmas' true reason...."
Very true, Jodah. I loved this charming poem, and the reminder of how this special day is celebrated all over the world. Thank you for those good wishes to all of us on the Hub.
Best wishes to you and your family for a happy Christmas. :-)
What a lovely piece Jodah! Indeed, Christ is the reason why we have Christmas. And yes, we always have white Christmas up here in the north pole. It's extremely cold alright, but it's beautiful. :)
Thank you for your kind and thoughtful gestures of sending greetings to the HP community. May you have a truly merry Christmas with family and friends.
Love from the sky~
Great poem and the last part even greater.
Merry Christmas.
Merry Christmas to you and yours, John!
Beautiful poem with an important message! It's important to always remember the real reason behind the celebration of Christmas.
Merry Christmas to you and your family!
PS : I hope that your grandson is feeling better and has left the hospital full of energy!
Well said! The poem is simply beautiful with a big message. A very HAPPY CHRISTMAS to you and yours.
Amen to that! Thank you for your wishes and I would like to reciprocate. I hope you have a lovely Christmas season, full of happiness, love and peace. We're looking forward to a day with children and grandchildren, full of laughter and hugs. We might have snow but at the moment it's quite mild; it usually arrives some time in February and I much prefer it to dull, rainy weather! Thanks again for a beautiful thought. Ann
Jodah, what a lovely poem! I like how you ended it, as so many times, people forget the reason for Christmas. Well done! Merry Christmas to you and yours.
Thank you precious heart! Yes, Christ is the reason for the season and thank you for this sweet reminder of a poem. I hope your Christmas is the best one ever and please know you and your family are in my prayers.
Up and more and sharing
Hugs and much love,
Faith Reaper
Yes such a great little poem with a great big reason. To remember our savior's birth, whatever day it was. ^

Graton resident Jay Shafer, a pioneer of the small-house movement who until recently called a 96-square foot house on wheels his home, will be featured by Parade magazine this Sunday.
Shafer, 44, who designed and built the tiny house, is to appear on the cover of the magazine's annual How America Lives issue, pictured standing in front of the gable-roofed cottage.
"Thanks for reminding me, I've got to get that," he said Friday. "That'll be great to see me on the cover, just like Stephen Colbert."
(Representatives of Colbert, who hosts Comedy Central's "The Colbert Report" did not respond Friday to a question about the size of the comedian's home).
In point of fact, Shafer, now likely to become that much more the face of the littlest homes, has himself upsized. He moved a year ago into a Graton house on a real foundation.
The move was necessary to accommodate a growing family — his wife and an infant boy.
"I couldn't see three people living in a 100-square-foot house, even for me," he said.
His tiny home, with its sleeping loft and complete kitchen, now serves primarily as an office, he said. His new house is 500 square feet, "not exactly palatial."
Still, he is as firm a believer as ever in the virtues and advantages of small homes, he said, and he still operates Tumbleweed Tiny House Co.
Of late, Shafer said, "since the economy dropped off," he hasn't had any orders to build or design the homes, which cost about $18,000. But sales of books and designs are booming.
"I think a lot of do-it-yourselfers are putting a lot of sweat equity into the houses so they can afford them," he said.
Appearing in Parade, which is distributed as a supplement in The Press Democrat and newspapers across the country each Sunday, can only boost the profile of small homes, favored by adherents for their affordability, efficiency and lesser ecological impact.
"I'll take a megaphone whenever I can get one," he said.

Prior to touring in Africa, 56-year old Caroline Barnes had only ever taken three uncomfortable rides as a passenger. Her biggest concern about a motorcycle safari was whether she could sit on the back of a BMW R1200GS all day and not hurt. Marc had ridden a Harley for twelve years and had no qualms. Fortunately, Caroline's concern evaporated as soon as the Waterfalls and Wildlife tour began.
Friends of Marc and Caroline had traveled with Renedian the year before and were booked to go back, this time with their wives. Their invitations for the couple to join them initially fell on deaf ears. Marc and Caroline, from Pleasanton, CA., were getting ready to book a trip to Ireland and besides, "Africa was too far, too much money, and too everything."
But the seed had been planted. Now a realtor, Caroline, had traveled the world in a previous job, including a couple of stints in Africa. She loved the continent and was eager to return. Marc, 57 and a custom homebuilder, loved riding motorcycles. Anywhere. Two good friends and their wives would be part of the group. The couple decided to make it happen.
"I'd be lying if I said I wasn't nervous," says Caroline. "Being a passenger is scary. You're not in control. It's not like he'd driven the trip or knew the roads."
"The riders were all really safe and as a back seat rider, I felt like I had the advantage," she acknowledges. "I didn't have to concentrate on the road. I didn't have to look ahead. I'd tap his shoulder and tell him where to look but he didn't have the luxury I had to enjoy the ride."
"Sometimes I'd put my arms out, tilt my head back, look up at the sky, and feel like I'm flying," Caroline recalls. I'd think, "I'm really lucky to be here right now taking in the moment." The landscape would change from bush, to grass, hills, and then flat. The colours were spectacular and the landscape beautiful. "You start daydreaming about how good life is good to you. You can't ask for anything more."
"Initially I put my iPod on and played music until the battery went dead," she continues. "At one point, rather than charging it I left it off, realizing it took away from being in the moment. The songs would always relate to something else—a party or that trip to Mexico. I wanted to remember whatever I could without it being associated with a song."
She watched in awe.
It's rare to see a male lion mating a lioness but the safari happened to pass by at the right moment. Another time as if on cue, 30-40 elephants began moseying out of a watering hole. It soon became clear they were clearing room for a new herd making its way across the desert towards them, like the caravan coming to town. The babies were doing somersaults, ducking under water, and coming up again. Adolescents would run at each other hooking trunks, fighting, and throwing mud on each other's backs.
Herds of different animals were constantly moving through their line of sight. They even saw a leopard protecting her baby while baby lunched on an impala mom had dragged up into the tree.
Mostly, Caroline loved the people. One night they stayed near a tribe of San people (formerly known as Bushmen) and were invited into their huts. Via a translator, they talked about their life, showed how they track animals, and identified plants known for their healing properties. Wandering behind the huts, she stumbled upon a cheetah, completely skinned but otherwise intact, ready for roasting.
She'd brought toys, crayons, and little things for the children and handed them out at rest stops. Her greatest thrill was their squeals of excitement and being allowed to take their photograph.
Caroline realizes they weren't there to change Africa. Still, she wished she'd have packed a huge duffle bags filled with clothes and shoes, and been able to give them out along the way.
"Life gave me a good hand. I just want to take in every moment because we don't know what tomorrow brings. We have close friends who can't do this anymore, and things are getting worse for them, not better. That could be me, and my husband."

Before I get flooded with requests to send copies anyone can download the audio file by right clicking on the link that says click here and for Explorer select Save Target As or for Netscape select Save Link As. I have to admit at lesat this morning NETSCAPE was a lot more dependable. Explorer kept saying it had to check with the site and half the time came up with the wrong file. As long as your file has the .wav or .wma extension then you got it correctly... If you want to just snip yourself out of the WAV file I recommend a program called CoolEdit - find it with WWW.DOGPILE.COM. To record I am using a program called ScanRec which only records when the squelch is open and creates .WAV files directly on your PC...

Midlothian is a city in northwest Ellis County, Texas, United States. It is the hub for the cement industry in North Texas as it is the home to three separate cement production facilities, as well as a steel mill. Midlothian is also a fast-growing community. In the early 1800s, settlements began to take place in the area that would one day become Ellis County; however, full colonization of this area was slow until 1843, when Sam Houston finalized peace treaties between several of the Indian inhabitants of the region and the Republic of Texas. The earliest Indian inhabitants of this area were the Tonkawa Indians, but other Indian tribes also hunted in this area including the Anadarkos, Bidias, Kickapoos,and the Wacos.
Midlothian has a variety of useful sites and locations for residents to take advantage of. Here are a few of them:

One of the biggest mistakes I see with people just getting introduced to the CSS3 @font-face selector is the use of regular OTF or TTF fonts in their web pages, instead of the recommended WOFF (Web Open Font Format) and EOT (Embeddable OpenType) font formats. With traditional font formats (TTF, OTF), the primary use was for print and applications that created such documents. There were no worries about compatibility across different browsers like there are when creating websites.
Now with the large adoption of @font-face, web designers and developers have to worry about each browser viewers of their website could be using, and making sure that each font displays as it should be. This was a problem when I was redesigning my own website, http://keenanpayne.com, where you can see I used fonts not only on every page, but excessively on the homepage to create the exact feeling that I wanted without using images.
Please note that not all websites will display fonts the same way. Some browsers will display regular TTF and OTF fonts just fine, while others will give them jagged edges and make them rather unappealing. Below is an example of a website using just the TTF format of the League Gothic font viewed in Google Chrome.
As you can see, when you scale the font size up, you can clearly see all of the imperfections that appear as a result of just using the TTF. Below we have included the TTF, EOT, WOFF, and SVG version of the same font viewed in Google Chrome.
When comparing the two images, it's hard to believe that we are even using the same font. The latter image is clear, perfectly displayed edges, and can be scaled to whatever size without any lost quality. Now let's compare the two web pages code and see what we did differently.
<!DOCTYPE html>   <title>Incorrect use of @font-face</title>
Incorrect @font-face use

<!DOCTYPE html>   <title>Correct use of @font-face</title>
Correct @font-face use

The Solution
The solution to imperfect web fonts, or being stuck with TTF or OTF files is very simple. If you have read the license agreement to the font that you want to use and are sure you can use it with @font-face, then there are plenty of online resources that will take a regular font file, and give you a web font package with every format you'll need to make sure it displays correctly across various browsers. Here are a few of my favorite tools to do this:
Font Squirrel @font-face Generator
The Font Squirrel @font-face generator is my favorite of all the tools. It is simple to use, generates web-safe fonts to use, and even packages in the CSS file with everything that you'll need so you don't even have to type any code. If you know what you're doing it has a plethora of options including the ability to remove kerning, resize the font's x-height, custom subsetting, and much more. It does have a list of fonts that cannot be generated so don't go trying to get your web font version of Helvetica now.
Perhaps the most successful tool to come out of the @font-face adoption would be Typekit. Typekit allows you to browse their gallery of fonts, and embed them in your own website. The trick to doing this is they give you a snippet of JavaScript that you put into whatever web page you want the fonts on, and then you can pick out the font that you want.
Once you have picked out your font, all you have to do is type in what selectors you want it to display for (H1, classes, ID's, etc) and then click "Publish", and that bit of JavaScript that you inserted below will allow Typekit to override your CSS. It's a simple and effective way to embed fonts, and is much simpler than having to store all of the fonts that you want to use, and have that ever-growing CSS file that needs editing.
The one caveat with Typekit is that it is a paid service. There is a free option, but it only allows for 25,000 page views per month, and will allow you to embed up to two fonts on one website. It will allow you to see what the service has to offer, but if you want to step up to even two websites, you're looking at $24.99/year. Want more than two websites? That's $49.99/year.
It's a good cost, but if you are looking for a simple service and don't want to get your hands dirty with code and converting fonts, then it's definitely the way to go.
Both are great services for generating web-safe fonts, and I would definitely recommend Typekit if your budget allows, but I would recommend either to make sure your web designs look brilliant across all browsers no matter what.
Note: As web browsers upgrade I am sure that they will be able to handle regular OTF and TTF files and display them as they would WOFF, EOT or SVG, but this article displays best practices when using the @font-face, and should be followed even when that is the case.

Microsoft BizTalk Server occupies a unique niche in the company's Windows Server System, providing needed interoperability for heterogeneous enterprise applications. Microsoft specifically designed BizTalk Server to work with incompatible, third-party proprietary server applications that run on mainframes, UNIX servers, and other systems, as well as on Windows systems. BizTalk Server uses XML-based software adapters to communicate with server applications from Ariba, SAP, PeopleSoft, and numerous other vendors, integrating these disparate systems in ways that previously weren't possible. BizTalk Server also provides simple graphical tools for business analysts and development tools for software developers that let them automate or orchestrate business processes. Here's what you need to know about BizTalk Server 2004.
Meeting Changing Business Needs
When BizTalk Server first appeared a few years ago, Microsoft targeted the product at intracompany interoperability so that companies could automate inhouse business processes. Today, companies expect their business processes to integrate with the business processes of other companies, and BizTalk Server 2004 addresses that need. BizTalk Server 2004 includes a more scalable orchestration engine and more flexible transaction-management capabilities. For example, many companies now expect fraud analysis of credit card transactions to occur instantaneously so that the company can deal with the problem before the customer leaves the store. Performance improvements in BizTalk Server's business rules engine enable this type of quick data analysis.
Business Process Automation
Business analysts can use BizTalk Server 2004's improved graphical tools (based on Microsoft Office Visio 2003) to sculpt business processes and the server's activity-monitoring functionality to obtain moment-by-moment updates on the health of their business. For the CEO view, BizTalk Server includes an Office add-on that lets nontechnical users receive regular updates, complete with graphical charts, through Excel or a Windows SharePoint Services (WSS) portal.
Improved the Developer Experience
BizTalk Server has always supported graphical- and code-based development environments, but with BizTalk Server 2004, Microsoft has moved the development environment where it belongs: inside Visual Studio .NET 2003. This change will help developers get up to speed more quickly because the development tool they'll use is both familiar and powerful.
Today's businesses feature heterogeneous software solutions running on heterogeneous hardware platforms that must communicate with the heterogeneous systems their partners use. Tools such as BizTalk Server integrate these disparate systems in ways that weren't possible just a few years ago. BizTalk Server 2004 improves on earlier versions by offering a wide range of systems adapters and accelerators, lower licensing costs, and a familiar development environment.
Overall, BizTalk Server 2004 is a compelling solution for business-process automation, whether used within one organization, among partners, or both. BizTalk Server is a product whose time has come. I recommend that you evaluate the benefits this package can bring to your enterprise as soon as possible.

With Christmas just over a month away, Buxton will be getting festive at the big lights switch-on on Friday (November 18).
To get the town in the seasonal spirit the star of this year's Snow White pantomime will be leading the countdown in the Pavilion Gardens - where there will also be a seasonal Grand Bazaar.
Lucy Dixon is best known for her work in BBC's Waterloo Road and Hollyoaks, but will be headlining the family-favourite panto at Buxton Opera House next month.
A Pavilion Gardens spokesman said: "We are building a grotto in the cafe and Father Christmas has promised to visit."
Shopping will be available from 2pm with Santa and the switch-on event from 5pm onwards. The Christmas lights are due to be switched on at around 6.30pm.
There will be performances from the pupils of St Thomas More, Buxton Junior and St Anne's schools.
The Buxton Boat Club will be sailing their illuminated model boats near the fountain, the miniature train will be running with lights around the park and there will be children's rides on the Promenade.
The night will be compered by the ever-popular Bill Weston, and the mayor will also be in attendance.
The deadline for schools taking part in the Pavilion Gardens' 12 Days of Christmas children's art competition is also Friday.
For every child that enters there will be a small prize, and artist Richard Prime will be judging the winners.
All entries will be on display during the Christmas fair and the farmers' market.
Individual entries can be handed in to the tourist information centre anytime before Christmas.

Class-based Emotes
by Daihsan
Message 13 on Rogues' Board of Fiendish PlotsTo make classes a bit more individualized, Im going to look at adding a handfull of class-specific emotes for each class. The emotes will be class based, not sub based. If anyone has any suggestions for really good emotes for your class... please post them here.
