UNDP inaugurates its merged Regional Service Centre for Africa in Addis AbabaMay 28, 2013
Addis Ababa – The UNDP Regional Service Centre for Africa was inaugurated today in Addis Ababa by the United Nations Development Programme Administrator Helen Clark, the Prime Minister of Ethiopia Hailemariam Desalegn and UNDP Assistant Secretary-General and Regional Director for the Regional Bureau of Africa, Mr. Tegegnework Gettu.
"Addis Ababa has become Africa's capital, the hub for global and regional discussion about Africa's development," said Helen Clark. She added that "UNDP needs to be at the epicenter of regional development discussions and policy making at the highest level" and this regional service centre "is a central pillar of UNDP's work as a world class, knowledge-based organization."
The Regional Service Centre supports the work and partnerships of the 46 country offices supervised by UNDP Regional Bureau of Africa and "offers strategic policy and programme advice based on UNDP's expertise and experience," said Helen Clark.
The centre is the result of a merger of the two centres in Dakar and Johannesburg, a decision taken by UNDP Senior Management based on practical and technical considerations to improve UNDP's cost-effectiveness, efficiency and support to countries in Africa, enhancing both the impact and efficiency of its work. As an integral part of the merged centre, several policy advisors will remain in Dakar given that their support is concentrated on a number of countries in the sub-region and as such their proximity is more cost-effective.
Together with the other UNDP regional centres based in Bangkok, Bratislava, Cairo and Panamá, these new premises contribute to an innovative network of knowledge and expertise that supports "partnership with all who share UNDP's commitment to poverty eradication and sustainable development," said Helen Clark.Contact information

Morality is the differentiation of intentions, decisions, and actions between those that are "good" (or right) and those that are "bad" (or wrong).

- If ... the ability to tell right from wrong should turn out to have anything to do with the ability to think, then we must be able to "demand" its exercise from every sane person, no matter how erudite or ignorant, intelligent or stupid, he may happen to be. Kant—in this respect almost alone among the philosophers—was much bothered by the common opinion that philosophy is only for the few, precisely because of its moral implications.
- Hannah Arendt, The Life of the Mind (1978), p. 13
- No moral system can rest solely on authority.
- Alfred Jules Ayer, in Humanist Outlook (1968), p. 4.
- The essence of morality is a questioning about morality; and the decisive move of human life is to use ceaselessly all light to look for the origin of the opposition between good and evil.
- Georges Bataille, in Denis Hollier, On Bataille, "The Dualist Materialism of Georges Bataille," ed. Allan Stoekl (1990). "Du Rapport entre le Divin et le Mal," Critique (Paris, March 1947).
- Morality is character and conduct such as is required by the circle or community in which the man's life happens to be placed. It shows how much good men require of us.
- Henry Ward Beecher, in Life of Thoughts (1858).
- Morality's not practical. Morality's a gesture. A complicated gesture learnt from books.
- Robert Bolt, in A Man For All Seasons (1960).
- All systems of morality are fine. The gospel alone has exhibited a complete assemblage of the principles of morality, divested of all absurdity. It is not composed, like your creed, of a few common-place sentences put into bad verse. Do you wish to see that which is really sublime? Repeat the Lord's Prayer.
- Napoleon Bonaparte, reported in Josiah Hotchkiss Gilbert, Dictionary of Burning Words of Brilliant Writers (1895), p. 419.
- "Tut, tut, child," said the Duchess. "Everything's got a moral if only you can find it."
- Lewis Carroll, Alice's Adventures in Wonderland (1865), Chapter VIII.
- There are two principles of established acceptance in morals; first, that self-interest is the mainspring of all of our actions, and secondly, that utility is the test of their value.
- Charles Caleb Colton, in Lacon (1820).
- As our own species is in the process of proving, one cannot have superior science and inferior morals. The combination is unstable and self-destroying.
- It would be deeply depressing if the only way children could get moral values was from religion. Either from scripture, and God knows we don't want them to get it from scripture, I mean, just look at scripture. Or, from being afraid of God, being intimidated by God. Anybody who is good for only those two reasons is not really being good at all. Why not teach children things like the Golden Rule, do as you would be done by, how would you like it if other children did that to you, so why do you do it to them. ... I think it's depressing that anybody should suggest that you actually need God in order to be moral. I would hope that our morals come from a better source than that, and therefore they are genuinely moral rather than based on outmoded scripture, or based on fear.
- Richard Dawkins BBC, (2008-01-29)
- The system of morality which Socrates made it the business of his life to teach was raised upon the firm basis of religion. The first principles of virtuous conduct which are common to all mankind are, according to this excellent moralist, laws of God; and the conclusive argument by which he supports this opinion is, that no man departs from these principles with impunity.
- William Enfield, in The History of Philosophy Vol. I, (1819), p. 185.
- Socrates taught that true felicity is not to be derived from external possessions, but from wisdom, which consists in the knowledge and practice of virtue; that the cultivation of virtuous manners is necessarily attended with pleasure as well as profit; that the honest man alone is happy; and that it is absurd to attempt to separate things which are in nature so closely united as virtue and interest.
- William Enfield, in The History of Philosophy Vol. I, (1819), p. 185.
- It is the dutiful disposition of each person to spread morality outside of himself to the best of his ability and knowledge, i.e., to see to it that everyone has the same disposition he has … It follows from this that the overall end of the moral community as a whole is to produce unanimity concerning matters of morality.
- Johann Gottlieb Fichte, in The System of Ethics: According to the Principles of the Wissenschaftslehre (2005), p. 329.
- I don't believe in western morality, i.e. don't kill civilians or children, don't destroy holy sites, don't fight during holiday seasons, don't bomb cemeteries, don't shoot until they shoot first because it is immoral. The only way to fight a moral war is the Jewish way: "Destroy their holy sites. Kill men, women and children (and cattle)." The first Israeli prime minister who declares that he will follow the Old Testament will finally bring peace to the Middle East. First, the Arabs will stop using children as shields. Second, they will stop taking hostages knowing that we will not be intimidated. Third, with their holy sites destroyed, they will stop believing that G-d is on their side. Result: no civilian casualties, no children in the line of fire, no false sense of righteousness, in fact, no war. Zero tolerance for stone throwing, for rockets, for kidnapping will mean that the state has achieved sovereignty. Living by Torah values will make us a light unto the nations who suffer defeat because of a disastrous morality of human invention.
- Manis Friedman Answer for the question "How Should Jews Treat Their Arab Neighbors?" for the "Moment" magazine. [1]
- I would like to clarify the answer published in my name in last month's issue of Moment Magazine. First of all, the opinions published in my name are solely my own, and do not represent the official policy of any Jewish movement or organization. Additionally, my answer, as written, is misleading. It is obvious, I thought, that any neighbor of the Jewish people should be treated, as the Torah commands us, with respect and compassion. Fundamental to the Jewish faith is the concept that every human being was created in the image of G-d, and our sages instruct us to support the non-Jewish poor along with the poor of our own brethren. The sub-question I chose to address instead is: how should we act in time of war, when our neighbors attack us, using their women, children and religious holy places as shields. I attempted to briefly address some of the ethical issues related to forcing the military to withhold fire from certain people and places, at the unbearable cost of widespread bloodshed (on both sides!)—when one's own family and nation is mercilessly targeted from those very people and places. Furthermore, some of the words I used in my brief comment were irresponsible, and I look forward to further clarifying them in a future issue. I apologize for any misunderstanding my words created.
- Morality rests upon a sense of obligation; and obligation has no meaning except as implying a Divine command, without which it would cease to be.
- James Anthony Froude, reported in Josiah Hotchkiss Gilbert, Dictionary of Burning Words of Brilliant Writers (1895), p. 419.
- Opinions alter, manners change, creeds rise and fall, but the moral law is written on the tablets of eternity. For every false word or unrighteous deed, for cruelty and oppression, for lust or vanity, the price has to be paid at last.
- James Anthony Froude, in the lecture "The Science of History" (5 February 1864); published in Representative Essays (1885) by George Haven Putnam, p. 274; John Dalberg-Acton, 1st Baron Acton quoted the first sentence of this an address of 1895, and this has often been misattributed to him.
- It is safe to say that no other superstition is so detrimental to growth, so enervating and paralyzing to the minds and hearts of the people, as the superstition of Morality.
- Emma Goldman, "Victims of Morality", Mother Earth journal, March 1913.
- I think if we study the primates, we notice that a lot of these things that we value in ourselves, such as human morality, have a connection with primate behavior. This completely changes the perspective, if you start thinking that actually we tap into our biological resources to become moral beings. That gives a completely different view of ourselves than this nasty selfish-gene type view that has been promoted for the last 25 years.
- Jane Goodall The Bonobo in All of Us, PBS' (Jan 1, 2007).
- Our moral traditions, like many other aspects of our culture, developed concurrently with our reason, not as its product.
- Friedrich Hayek, The Fatal Conceit (1988), Introduction: Was Socialism a Mistake?
- So far, about morals, I know only that what is moral is what you feel good after and what is immoral is what you feel bad after.
- Ernest Hemingway, Death in the Afternoon (1932), Ch. 1.
- If this truth has once and for all been discarded and men have decided for integral adjustment, if reason has been purged of all morality regardless of cost, and has triumphed over all else, no one may remain outside and look on. The existence of one solitary "unreasonable" man elucidates the shame of the entire nation. His existence testifies to the relativity of the system of radical self-preservation that has been posited as absolute.

- This Court does not sit as a Court of morality, to inflict punishment against those who offend against the social law.

- The main objection to absolute morality is that even if there were absolute moral standards we should have no way of knowing whether we had found them.
- Walter Kaufmann, The Faith of a Heretic (1963), cited from the trade paperback edition published by Princeton University Press ISBN 978-0-691-16548-6, (p. 296).
- Our world hinges on moral foundations. God has made it so. God has made the universe to be based on a moral law. So long as man disobeys it he is revolting against God. That's what we need in the world today: people who will stand for right and goodness. It's not enough to know the intricacies of zoology and biology, but we must know the intricacies of law. It is not enough to know that two and two makes four, but we've got to know somehow that it's right to be honest and just with our brothers. It's not enough to know all about our philosophical and mathematical disciplines, but we've got to know the simple disciplines of being honest and loving and just with all humanity. If we don't learn it, we will destroy ourselves by the misuse of our own powers.

- Morality is a venereal disease. Its primary stage is called virtue; its secondary stage, boredom; its tertiary stage, syphilis.
- Karl Kraus, "The Riehl Case" in Die Fackel; also in Karl Kraus (1971) by Harry Zohn, p. 47.
- Morality without religion is only a kind of dead reckoning, — an endeavor to find our place on a cloudy sea by measuring the distance we have run, but without any observation of the heavenly bodies.
- Henry Wadsworth Longfellow, Kavanagh: A Tale (1849), Chapter XIII.
- Whatever is contrary, bonos mores est decorum, the principles of our law prohibit, and the King's Court, as the general censor and guardian of the public manners, is bound to restrain and punish.

- The reason why no mention is made in our ancient books of uses, is, because men were then of better Consciences than now they are, so as the feoffees did not give occasion to their feoffors to bring subpoenas to compell them to perform the trusts reposed in them.
- Manwood, J., Brett's Case (1583), 2 Leonard's Rep. 15; reported in James William Norton-Kyshe, Dictionary of Legal Quotations (1904), p. 177.
- Law, morality, religion, are ... so many bourgeois prejudices, behind which lurk in ambush just as many bourgeois interests
- Karl Marx, The Communist Manifesto (1848)
- It was morality that burned the books of the ancient sages, and morality that halted the free inquiry of the Golden Age and substituted for it the credulous imbecility of the Age of Faith. It was a fixed moral code and a fixed theology which robbed the human race of a thousand years by wasting them upon alchemy, heretic-burning, witchcraft and sacerdotalism.
- H. L. Mencken The Philosophy of Friedrich Nietzsche (1908/1913)
- Morality is the theory that every human act must be either right or wrong, and that 99% of them are wrong.

- We should never doubt that nationalizing the moral life is the first step toward totalitarianism.
- Kenneth Minogue, The Servile Mind, How Democracy Erodes the Moral Life (2010), Encounter Books, pp. 2-3
- Moral argument tries to appeal to a capacity for impartial motivation which is supposed to be present in all of us. Unfortunately it may be deeply buried, and in some cases it may not be present at all. In any case it has to compete with powerful selfish motives, and other personal motives that may not be so selfish, in its bid for control of our behavior. The difficulty of justifying morality is not that there is only one human motive, but that there are so many.

- I say quite deliberately that the Christian religion, as organized in its churches, has been and still is the principal enemy of moral progress in the world.
- Bertrand Russell, in Why I Am Not a Christian; this has often been misquoted as "The Christian religion has been and still is the principal enemy of moral progress in the world".
- Morality has always had a difficult time of it; utility and legality even begrudge the fact of its existence.
- Friedrich Schlegel, Philosophical Fragments, P. Firchow, trans. (1991), "Athenaeum Fragments," § 373
- People who are eccentric enough to be quite seriously virtuous understand each other everywhere, discover each other easily, and form a silent opposition to the ruling immorality that happens to pass for morality.
- Friedrich Schlegel, Philosophical Fragments, P. Firchow, trans. (1991) § 414
- My thesis is that morality exists outside the human mind in the sense of being not just a trait of individual humans, but a human trait; that is, a human universal.
- Michael Shermer, in The Science of Good and Evil.
- If your morals make you dreary, depend upon it they are wrong. I do not say "give them up," for they may be all you have; but conceal them like a vice, lest they should spoil the lives of better and simpler people.
- Robert Louis Stevenson, in Across the Plains (1892) Ch. XII, A Christmas Sermon.

A door knob may not sound like an important style item in your home, however, these often-overlooked details can sometimes make all the difference. The doors in my home came outfitted with polished brass knobs that looked like they'd already seen over a million hands over the years. They were worn, outdated, damaged, and the brass style really didn't help the overall look of our home. All of our kitchen appliances and bathroom accessories were satin nickel, and I had just ordered new satin nickel kitchen and bathroom faucets, so it was definitely time for the door knobs to change, too.
Now that I had my new knobs, all that was left to do was install them. Here's how:
Here is my pantry door knob in all of its bright, brassy, scratched, corroded, and dented glory. It may be hard to tell from the picture, but the knobs were an absolute mess.
If you have knobs with visible screws, this step is pretty simple. My knobs had no screws, so approaching this step was a little mystifying. After a few minutes of investigation, I realized that one of the knobs had a tiny button on the side, about the size of the head of a flat head screwdriver. I pushed a screwdriver in and pulled the knob toward myself. Pop. Off it came.
Next I had to remove the faceplate that covered the screw holes. I found a tiny notch on one of the sides (again, about the size of the head of a screwdriver) and pried the covering off pretty easily.
Now that the central components of the knob are exposed, you can take a screwdriver (this time a phillip's head) and remove the screws that hold the two sides together.
Once the screws are removed, the other side should fall off pretty easily. Depending on how old your knobs are, you may need to wiggle it a little to get the sticky pins inside free.
If the face of your latch has a faceplate, unscrew that first. As you can see above, mine did not have a facplate to remove. With your hands or a screwdriver, pop the interior latch out by applying some force toward the door edge. You should be able to pop it right out with minimal effort.
Take the new latch and put it in the door exactly as you removed the old one. Depending on how the new latch is assembled, you may need to add or remove the faceplate first.
My new door knobs were the visible screw type, so they required different installation than the old knobs. Note that at this point, you'll want to make sure you have the latch facing in the right direction. Unfortunately, I did not and installed it backwards. The flat side of the latch should be facing the direction that the door opens - This allows the door to shut without turning the knob and prevents it from opening when latched. Learn from my mistake!
Line both sides of your new knob together so that the screws match up. Screw them together tightly.
With a screwdriver, remove the old latch faceplate from the door frame. Now that you've got all of your old door knob elements removed, it's a good idea to save all the pieces in a zip-top bag in case you want to keep them, sell them, or donate them.
Your new door knob set will most likely come with several of these faceplates, so make sure you choose the style and shape that matches the notch in your door frame. If your door frame is a little off or the faceplate doesn't quite fit, a little sandpaper might do the trick.
So here we are - a new door knob, latch, and faceplate for the frame... all of which in a shiny satin nickel to match my stainless steel kitchen fixtures. For just over $20 and 5 minutes time, it really has made a big difference in my kitchen. I'm happy with the overall look, and I can't wait to see how they'll look next to my new kitchen sink faucet.

Petit Bateau
Established in 1893 in Troyes, France, Petit Bateau (which translates to "little boat") got its start as a line of cozy casual wear for children. But when, just over a century later, designer Karl Lagerfeld incorporated a Petit Bateau white tee in a Chanel fashion show, grown-ups wanted in on the action as well. To accommodate the crazy level of demand that followed, an adult-sized collection debuted shortly thereafter. Since, it's expand into a full line of Petit Bateau tees, turtlenecks, striped tops, and even underwear—essentially, all the classic, versatile layers your wardrobe needs.

Perhaps the best CI tool

In the past we used to run Jenkins. The build server always had weird issues and was a pain to maintain. Travis is a great solution for CI. Their Debug build features makes it trivial to figure out why your build broke. The integration with Github is also very slick. One thing they could improve is the documentation on the .travis.yaml format. All in all, great company and very responsive supports. Over here at getstream.io we're a fan. Keep up the good work guys!

SALT LAKE CITY — Just beyond the leather-cushioned locker cubicles and beneath the rotunda, and down the hall from the barber shop and players' lounge, and within smelling distance of the flatiron steaks, trout almondine, wild rice, clam chowder, pasta and salads, stood Jeremiah Poutasi, the Ute lineman everyone recruited.
So I asked: Is Utah's $32 million Spence and Cleone Eccles Football Center enough — by itself — to get an 18-year-old to commit?
"I just turned 19," he said, pausing to think it through.
He made an anything-can-happen shrug.
"It might."
The Utes unveiled their facility to the media and public on Thursday, and it didn't disappoint: A carpeted and paneled locker room, as hushed and cool as a country club. A cafeteria that for the grand opening served shrimp scampi, prime rib, buffalo beef sliders, chicken pasta, fruits, pizza, vegetables and desserts to the public. The other food was for players.
It was an introduction fit for a king — or even a teenage football recruit still weighing his options. There's a place for everyone at the new EFC. For instance, there is a TV studio, coaching offices, a full team auditorium, as well as offensive and defensive meeting rooms. There are position rooms, too, for every group: running backs, tight ends, wide receivers, etc., all with high-back leather seats.
Want to kick back and watch a game on TV? There are more HD screens than NORAD and the Pentagon combined. There are places for video games, table tennis and billiards. On the business end, there are physical therapy pools and examination tables galore. Players can charge their iPads and cell phones while someone is checking out their turf toe.
Reality is, injuries will come.
In this case, they just happen to come with a side order of chicken Kiev or baked salmon.
Remember when college football was all about the sacrifice? That's still there, but the rewards are much bigger. Jason Jones, a player at Utah in the early 1990s, drifted about the building on Thursday, marveling. He and the other walk-ons dressed in an overflow locker room of the HPER complex. Players cooled after practices in a cattle trough filled with ice and water.
Now they can set the speed and temperature of the water in a climate controlled sports medicine area.
There is a hall of fame, as well as one featuring the helmets of every NFL team. A touchscreen pulls up background on every Ute that ever played in the league. When a name is accessed, the corresponding helmet becomes backlit.
If this seems ostentatious, it is. The poli-sci department never had it so good. At the same time, officials are calling it an investment. President David W. Pershing said at the ribbon cutting that admission into the Pac-12 changed the entire university. He said it is attracting professors that wouldn't have accepted jobs at Utah, were it not for the conference affiliation.
As athletics director Chris Hill pointed out, "We're competing with the biggest of the big, and we're going to get there."
Academic purists bristle, but reality is that sports can grow academics. Students often learn of great universities via their sports programs.
But there is also the keeping-up-with-the-Joneses factor. Hill noted that a booster told him that wasn't the case because, at the moment, "you are the Joneses."
Truth is, the Utes aren't swimming in money, as are Oregon and USC. The football center gives them a nice jump, but in the wealthy Pac-12, simply treading water is expensive. Ten of the 12 teams are either building or have recently completed facilities similar to the EFC.
Arizona's Lowell-Stevens football facility cost $72 million. It includes ventilated locker room seats.
Same stuff as Utah, except maybe more of it.
Yet both were relatively modest compared to Oregon's, which includes a 500-pound rug, hand woven in Nepal, Brazilian hardwood floors, magnetic walls that can be written on and locker rooms accessible by biometric thumbprint.
If you must know, there's also a duck pond.
Total cost: The Ducks aren't saying. Media reports say the guesstimated cost of $68 million is far too low.
"People will complain," Oregon athletics director Rob Mullens told the New York Times, "but this is not excessive."
It's certainly not — if you're in the luxury hotel or space travel business.
Otherwise, it's crazy money.
Still, that's college football in 2013. The sobering part for Utah is that its facility is spectacular, brilliant and superb, yet will end up about average for the conference. Utah officials insist they aren't getting into an arms race with anyone.
After one bite of prime rib with horseradish sauce, I have only one thing to say: You could have fooled me.

text: Wednesday, May 25, 2011 Baby Boomer PTs: Share Your 'Mobility Story' With APTA Visit APTA's Move Forward brand booth #700 at Annual Conference during unopposed exhibit hours June 9-11 and provide a quick video sound bite in response to 1 of the questions found below. APTA wants to know how you've maintained your mobility over the years and what your advice may be to fellow Boomers. Your story may be used as part of a video montage on www.moveforwardpt.com to show how physical therapists "walk the walk" when it comes to age and mobility. It also will support APTA's broader Move Forward branding initiative aimed at positioning physical therapists as the go-to resource when it comes to mobility. The 4 questions from which you can select to respond are: What is the single most important piece of advice you could give consumers about staying fit as you age? How have you overcome age-related mobility challenges? Why is physical activity so important, especially as you get older? Why do you think it's important for baby boomers to work with a physical therapist to stay fit? Comments May I answer these questions in this comment section. I will not be able to attend the meeting. I have an unusual story to tell. I am 64 and doing back bends, summersaults, and hiking mountains, 10 mile in one day. Bonnie S Carr, PT, MS Posted by Bonnie S Carr on 5/26/2011 9:58 AM I will not be able to attend, but wanted to respond. I am 56 and play sports to keep moving. I compete in volleyball, softball, golf and bowling as well as hike and work out. With sports, I have been able to keep physically and mentally fit. Posted by nancy bullett on 5/27/2011 4:00 PM Bonnie S, we want to hear more about your story! http://www.prorehabpc.com/blog/ Posted by PRORehab on 5/27/2011 4:44 PM 1) What is the single most important piece of advice you could give consumers about staying fit as you age? a) To quote my wife: "A body in motion tends to stay in motiion." b) Go easy into unknown waters; Your response to new exercise is a important as performing the exercise itself c) Con-sider strength training to develop the weight-reducing, slow- twitch muscles with high reps, low loads and good form. Avoid initial bulk weight traiing. d) A post-exercise cool-down is when you will get the most stretch. Spend a while doing a cool-down. e) Avoid "testosterone poisoning" (the non-gender specific form. You are no spring checken; don't write check that your body cant cash. If you overdraw your account, there will be a penality to pay at the body bank. f) Consider the "Rule of Opposites": "Inhibit the facilitated and facilitate the inhibited. Stretch the shortened and strengthen the lengthened." 2) How have you overcome age-related mobility challenges? I became a Type II, Insulin Dependent Diabetic. That disease defines me, my limitations, and my need to be adaptable. I consider my MS responses to healing. But, the biggest thing is that I have a number of chronic orthopedic issues. When I am injured, the PT gets the tissues ready for rehab, and I do it. Specific exercise ,specific to the injury and collaterial issuea are the focus. But, since I have often walked-the-walk, I let folks know what the gauntlet might look like when they face it and how to minimize the discomfort until next visit. I make sure that the client understands the difference between their familiar pain, and the collateral responses.they might feel in a few days. I let them know that they are not on autopilot, and they need to do their home program like I have ot do. 3) Why is physical activity so important, especially as you get older? The medical training that PTs have give us a perspective on dealing, not only with the injury, but the subsequent responses to the body as the result of an injury or conditon. The body has made to accommodate PTs are more inclined to consider the co-morbidities with the patient,but not a direct part of the problem. Our training provides knowledge to treat from the neurologically involved pediatric patient, to to treating Olympic Level competitors safely. 4) Why do you think it's important for baby boomers to work with a physical therapist to stay fit? We, as Physical Therapists, have a long history of being educated through programs credentialled by the APTA; those standards are maintained through the accreditiation and re-accreditation process of the APTA. Our standards of care are established by the respective states practice acts. We are experts in rehabilitation who are bound under a Code of Ethics. It is important to work w/ us because we Evaluate before we act. Other professions don't hav that skill set. Even if we are just watching someone move, we subconciously evaluate. We can specifically assess problems (both MS and Neuro)better that any non-PT professional. We are used to working with individuals who may have co-morbidities that, if not considered in the development of an exercise program, may suffer moreharm than good. We can mosify exercises to achieve desired responses from the perspective of challenge and/or repetition. We know how to pre-position an individual so as to achieve the best potential outcome. And we police ourselves to keep our standards high We can do all of this. Our problem is that the general public still doesn't think about going to the PT first. Look in the Suffix list of most air lines at reseration. Everyone and their mother's dog oftenhas abbreviations for PT, but not the PT (or do I need to change air lines?). I think that this si a sign of limited public recognition. When I see a n article about exercise in the newspaper, it tends to be by an ATC or "personal trainer". Why aren't PTs the first that are contacted for saft training information? Perhaps it is bacause insurtance companies still demand that a physician is seen in order to get an Rx for PT reimbursed, and most folks want to just get busy? I believe that, until we can fugure that part out, we may be howling at the moon> Posted by Stephen Winters, PT, MS on 5/27/2011 5:47 PM About 8 years ago I was diagnosed with OA in my R great toe so I stopped running, put on 40 pounds and couldn't seem to get rid of it. That created some additional medical issues including sleep apnea and high blood pressure. I started cycling with the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society's TEAM in Training in honor of my oldest sister who is now a 13 year survivor. I trained for and completed 3 century bicycle rides and lost 20 pounds. I thought I would try a half marathon which I completed also with TEAM in Training 3 1/2 years ago. I have since run 3 more half marathons and one full marathon. I am presently training for my third full marathon coming up in June. I weigh less than I have in 25 years (and less than it says on my drivers license) and I plan to complete the Mayor's Marathon in Anchorage faster than the first marathon I did at age 28. I will be 55 three days after this marathon. I consider myself to be in the best shape of my life and I am also a one year breast cancer survivor. My best advice is "keep moving." I have seen far too many patients who want to "take a pill" to get better and do not invest in their own abilities and therefore lose those abilities. Posted by Taylor Reed, PT on 5/27/2011 11:14 PM At 54, I continue to live and give this advice; listen to your body! I am always monitoring my fitness level by how my body responds, No pain, no gain doesn't work, so take care to hear what your body is telling you about activity, intensity, and recovery. I continue to hike, climb, bike and ski; Using physical therapy tools like stretching, strengthening (especially core) and taping (McConnell or kinesio) has allowed me to continue these activities without injuty or pain. Posted by Donna Lannan on 5/28/2011 6:35 AM I'm a young boomer at 50 but discovered Zumba last year. This is a great cardio and toning activity which is a so much fun! I often find that an hour will fly by and I've just been able to stay limber and knock off at least 600 calories! Posted by Donna Schhnatz on 5/28/2011 9:52 AM Most people do not wear out they rust out,or break parts. KEEP MOVING !!LEARN TO LISTEN TO YOUR BODY!! LEARN SOMETHING NEW OR HONE SOME SKILL OR PASSION. I have kept in shape by doing 45 minutes to an hour of exercise every morning. when I can't get to the gym, or rollarblade. The variety includes kick boxing, weight training,yoga,pilates,hip hop dance, anything that strikes my mood. Yes, there maybe injuries, but investing in your one and only body certainly is worth while The goal is to stay independant as possible for as long as possible and have fun along the way!! Posted by Rhoda Smith on 5/28/2011 5:34 PM Won't be able to attend the Annual Conference this year, but here's my 2 cents worth. I've always participated in some type of exercise class - step, kickboxing, jazzercize - whatever was popular at the time. I've walked, lifted weights, biked - anything to keep up my strength and mobility. A few years ago, I discovered a class called "Body Flow" which is a combination of Tai Chi, Yoga and Pilates, and I love it! I never knew Yoga could be that challenging! Over time I've become stronger and more flexible than I ever was doing anything else. And it includes balance work, which becomes more important as we age. I work in pediatrics, which requires you to use your whole body in treatment. There is a lot of lifting, getting up and down off the floor, and moving your body into a lot of different positions so Yoga has been a great fit for me. I do a lot of gardening, which requires a lot of the same lifting, bending and stretching. I also take an additional Pilates class using a Reformer for overall strengthening. I do some really simple things too, like going up and down the steps at work instead of taking the elevator and parking at the far end of the parking lot so I have to walk farther. I'm also part of a small group that works out together once a week at work. Now, I'm considering taking up racket ball! Sure, we may have a few more aches and pains than we used to but as a PT, I know how to manage them. And if I can't do it myself, I go see another PT because I know they can put me on the right path. Who better to treat a PT, than another PT? "Use it or lose it" really applies here. If you want to enjoy life, you've got to stay fit. And you don't have to do everything at the gym. Find things that you like to do that keep you active, and do it! The point is you don't have to Posted by Gretchen Meyer on 5/30/2011 9:05 PM Working in an early childhood program provides sprint work, lifting/resistance exercise with less than 70 pound bodies, and improvements in flexibility and balance as we work, play, climb on the playground and practice yoga together. Being part of a collaborative team, looking at the world through a child's eyes, administering hugs as needed, and playing improve my emotional health. Creating interesting activities that combine gross motor and academic skills gives me a cognitive work out. On non-work days, I love to garden. I feel like I could do this forever. Posted by Pam Chestnut-Kobyra on 5/31/2011 12:01 AM Thanks for all your great feedback! If you're attending APTA's upcoming Annual Conference, please stop by booth #700 so we can record your response. We'll be recording at the following times: June 9 - 1-2 pm & 4-5 pm June 10 - 2:45-4:30 pm. Posted by News Now staff on 5/31/2011 8:36 AM

Rated 4 out of 5 by NothingHere from Much better in person It's a beautiful dress with very delicate details. I got an XXS in Pink, which fits me almost perfectly. The top is a bit loose and the bottom is fitted. I have to agree with another reviewer that the dress would look better on someone slim and tall. The flowy top makes you look bigger than you are. For reference, I'm 5'3 and 95 lbs.

Rated 3 out of 5 by V521 from Meh This dress is made very well and was beautiful out of the box. Unfortunately, it didn't do anything for my shape. The drapey top made my average frame look much bigger! This would probably look better on very thin and tan ladies.

Rated 5 out of 5 by Carol from Stunning Sophisticated Sexy I bought this dress for my 19 year old daughter. The picture does not do it justice. It is a creamy beige color and the beading on the skirt sets it off. She is 5'6" 94lbs and she bought an xxs. Both my 19 and 17 year old girls love it.

all around lubricant
I would value advice on the best all around lubricant. I have used Remoil in the past; but have heard that it is over-rated. I am looking for Breakfree; but all local stores are out of it. How about Outers Gun Oil, Liquid Wrench, or 3 in 1 oil for lubricants and rust preventatives?

Have used drippings from synthetic oil "Mobil 1, Pennzoil Platinum" for years with complete satisfaction. Don't use it but another good all round lube is auto tranny fluid, AKA man made Sperm Whale oil.

I've come to the conclusion that in the great lubrication industry, the gun guys probably represent less than 1% of the market. It simply doesn't make sense to make oils for us and most folks simply repackage another industrial lubricant. The secret is finding the lubricant you like. Between Mobile1, ATF, and white lithium grease (all purchased at the auto supply), my lube requirements are covered.

For 30 years I have used nothing but mil-spec CLP and Dexron ATF. Most of the commercial CLPs have been watered down to meet EPA regs. G96 CLP still meets the mil-spec. Dexron ATF is really very hard to beat. It doesn't evaporate off and it won't dry into a gummy varnish over time and it dissolves carbon. And it is the cheapest thing out there. Try it. If your gun is going to freeze use just a very small amount of ATF or CLP. Greases tend to get real thick when frozen.

I use something similar to Wyosmith. 2QT Mobile-1 synthetic, 1QT ATF (I use Mercon, because I have it in stock for my vehicles), then I mix in a small bottle of Hoppe's #9 and one small container of STP oil treatment as a "stickifier" to keep it from running off so easily.

I bought a quart of a surplus military 'auto-matic weapons oil' from a surplus mail order company. The price was right & it's working great. I've been known to use some 'Royal Purple' 0-20w synthetic at times too.

Just too many good choices
There are so many good lubes out there that it's easier to mention the ones that are not so good, like Rem oil. ....
Be Safe !!!

You will not beat the non-toxic CLPs, the original Ballistol, Frog Lube, or Gunzilla. I use all and can't pick a favorite.

A coupe years ago a mechanic friend said try automatic transmission fluid as a light lube.It works very well as it seems to meld with metal and unlike oils doesn't attract nearly as much dirt and dust.

Rem Oil is definitely NOT overrated. It is a very good product. I use both Rem Oil and Breakfree CLP in the gunsmithing shop. Rem Oil is easier to use on the trigger group of a shotgun, for instance, while CLP has better cleaning properties. Beware of ATF and/or Acetone around gun finishes or particularly around polymer guns. The ATF will definitely swell some otherwise impervious plastics (like the Nylon in a Glock) and ruin them. I have a Marlin Camp 9 in the safe right now that I am having to replace the entire trigger group on because some fellow used Ed's Red (which contains both Acetone and ATF) on it.
My stand on oil is that you should use gun oil on guns and automotive products on cars.

Give Ballistol a try. It's got the kicker of being environmentally friendly. That is the main reason I made the switch. I'm always looking for ways to chemical down a bit more. You will read that some find the smell horrible. That is nonsense. It has a "licoricy" sort of smell.
After cleaning say, my 1911, I put a couple drops on my fingers and just rub it into the entire piece. Any residue left on my hands gets rubbed into my belt or shoes or any other leather nearby. Excellent for wood stocks also.
I add a couple drops to a rag with (is it "Old English" - I'd have to look) lemon oil for wood around the house.
I've tried a bunch of cleaners and lubes over the decades, I don't think you could beat the stuff.
I am not affiliated in any way with the company.
Happy shootin dude.

Well, if Dexron will damage the polymer used by Glock then they sure picked the wrong material to build a gun from. That's about the dumbest idea I've heard in a long time. They HAD to know it was going to come into contact with all kinds of solvents. Or maybe they just didn't care. They could always blame it on limp wristing or defective ammo I suppose.

I have had good results with Breakfree CLP to clean and store in between uses but if Im going to put it away for a few years or dont expect to use the gun for a long time I use Breakfree CO(collector long term storage protectant ) they say it protects up to 5 years.

ATF might be a bad idea for other reasons, but I have a hard time believing it will damage nylon. I can't find any support for the idea that nylon and ATF are a bad mix. To the contrary, I find several products which are in contact with ATF and use nylon.

While I do believe lubrication is important,I do not get real excited about the brand of snake oil it happens to be.
One pretty darn good light oil is Texaco Regal R+O..seems like we used the 32 grade.My 30 years working in machine shops,that was the standard for "light spindle oil"
It is what went in the lathe headstock for the gears and bearings,it is what went in the oil cups on the lathes and mills where it called for spindle oil,It went in the Cinncinati Hydra Shift for hydraulic oil.It is used in steam turbine bearings,aircraft hydraulics,I think it is safe to say it is not "wrong oil"
You can search the specs on it.Also,if you have machine tools,check to see if it is a recomended grade for your machines.
Myself,I would not hesitate to use it in any light oil application.
For the regular guy.buying a small quantity might be difficult,but many machine shops have 5 gal buckets of it around.
We also used a Sunoco ways oil,I forget grade,on the sliding ways applications.I can think of some gun applications where a light film of ways oil might be good
These days I am prone to use Breakfree CLP as light lube,and either TetraGun grease or Castrol full synthetic blue grease,wiped thin,on places like slide ways and bolt cams.
Seems like I heard if you were camping at the Chosin Reservoir Vitalis hair oil was the preferred Garand lube.
On the acetone,it will melt acrylic(plexiglas),Lexan(polycarbonate),ABS,.
I'm sure it is bad for stock finish. Its also really bad for your liver.
Myself,I would use it cautiously and sparingly,not as a general fluid additive.

People should read some of the old gun manuals from before WWII. They spec'ed Sperm Whale Oil for the lube in some guns.
It worked well. ATF is the modern replacement for SWO.
R+O would be my next choice, followed by AW32

Long time user of Synthetic 10w30 motor oil, never had a lubrication issue with it.
Working with Ballistol now as a CLP. Jury is still out on it and the wife will not let it in the house. Ballistol has an overpowering smell of aniseed but seems to work well. So far I like it better than Breakfree CLP but not as much as Weapon Shield.

I asked the instructor today at the Glock Armorer's course about ATF. He stated that he wouldn't use it on his own guns but that he was unaware of any official information from Glock on the use of ATF on their firearms.
I've been using it for a few months--got some just to try it out. I've used it for removing cosmoline and for some lubrication tasks. Other than the caveats above, it's a decent product if you don't mind the smell.

^ Not sure how you get there? Ballistol is well above average in corrosion prevention. The exact opposite is true. Ballistol, Gunzilla, and Frog Lube are all real good. BTW, Ballistol smells just fine.

It may be "well above average" as a corrosion protector but I didn't claim anything to the contrary. What I said was that it wasn't as good as BreakFree CLP as a corrosion protectant, and I based that opinion on the results of various informal tests I've looked at.
Here's a thread that links to several corrosion preventive tests.
The tests referred to in your links are included in the thread, however, neither of those particular tests compare BF CLP to Ballistol. The 6mmBR test uses BF CLP but not Ballistol, and the muzzleloading test uses Ballistol but not BF CLP.
"...Ballistol smells TERRRIBLE!"
"...I've noticed it does have a distinct - and now to me - unpleasant odor."
"...I quit using it because I can't stand the smell of it."
"I don't like the smell..."
"The smell is so bad and strong it actually upsets my stomach I mean instantly upon smelling it."
"...it does smell like dirty gym socks..."
"The smell of Ballistol almost makes me sick..."
You may be especially surprised to read the following person's opinion. He says, with regard to Ballistol's smell: "I think most would not like it."

TAGS: Marketing, Overseas December 18, 2014 By MILK Editors Email The efficient, durable feed mixer helps deliver a high-quality TMR at an affordable price. Source: Roto-Mix The new VX Series Single Auger Vertical Mixers by Roto-Mix, offer the small- to medium-sized dairy, cow/calf, stocker and heifer operations an efficient, durable feed mixer that delivers a high-quality TMR at an affordable price. Three models to choose from, the VX-315, VX-415 and VX-515 provide capacities in 300, 400 and 500 cubic feet respectively and are all under 100 inches in height. This low-profile mixer series enables nearly all types of loaders, even skid steers, to load feed without clearance concerns. The low loading height and very stable, low center of gravity make this vertical mixer one of the most versatile available. Your choice of right or left side discharge is a standard along with a side bolt-on conveyor option to allow for easy bunk feeding. A flow regulator plate enables the operator to optimize the flow of feed inside the mixer. The single auger is powered by a reliable, low maintenance pto driven, planetary gearbox. Options include a hay chain ring that reduces spillage of larger loads, round and square bales. Knife options are available for processing hay and other rations. For feeders who want more capacity, Roto-Mix offers rubber extenders to add those crucial extra cubic feet. Dual truck tires on the trailer are also offered as an option for mud and snow. Available this summer, dealers are currently taking orders.

URC wants to fast-track driver development for its new Total Control home automation system, and it has no better partner than Extra Vegetables, famous for its rich Control4 interfaces.
The two companies are teaming up to add more devices and services to the Total Control ecosystem, starting with Sonos.
At ISE 2013 in Amsterdam this week, Extra Vegetables is camped out at the URC booth demonstrating the two-way communications between Total Control and one of the world's most popular multiroom audio system.
On a small URC touchscreen, Walsh tapped his way through his music collection, playlists and various online music services offered through Sonos. On the forthcoming Android-based touchscreen ("shipping imminently," for $849, URC says), Walsh showed how one might scroll their way through Sonos just like they might from a native application.
"We're going to try to get as many features of Sonos as possible," says EV's William Walsh. "URC Total Control is a very open platform, so we have a lot to work with."
For example, even on the small screen, users can search for music via a pop-up keyboard. And EV plans to add features like the star button on Rhapsody.
URC and EV won't say what drivers we'll see next, but presumably we'll see a trajectory similar to Control4.
Most recently, EV created a Control4 driver for the NuVo Wireless Music System. Additional interfaces include Autonomic, DMX lighting, Roku, Windows Media Center and dozens more, including several systems popular in Europe – Linn, Clipsal, Sky TV, Heatmiser and Dynalite.
"The more third-party modules available to our dealers, the more Total Control systems they'll sell, and the happier their customers will be," says URC general manager Doug Cole. "Extra Vegetables is well-known as an expert and a significant partner in producing those modules."
You can find a URC Total Control dealer here.

Former UAA hockey coach accused of hitting player
ANCHORAGE, Alaska (AP) — The University of Alaska Anchorage is investigating an allegation that its former hockey coach struck a player with a hockey stick, another black mark for the beleaguered program which suspended a search for a new coach after naming four finalists earlier this month.
Ex-player Mickey Spencer alleges in an email dated May 1 to university officials that former coach Dave Shyiak hit another player, Nick Haddad, with a hockey stick during an on-campus practice in 2011.
Spencer claims the hit was a "'baseball-style' swing across the midsection because Nick messed up in a practice drill," Spencer wrote in the email to the University of Alaska Regents, university President Pat Gamble and Alaska Anchorage Chancellor Tom Case. The Anchorage Daily News first reported the allegation Tuesday.
"This was not a typical slash that sometimes occurs in hockey. It was hard and it was violent," Spencer wrote in the email, a copy of which was obtained Tuesday by The Associated Press.
Shyiak and Haddad argued after the hit, and Haddad was kicked out of practice, wrote Spencer, who once was suspended by Shyiak for a game for a major penalty in a game shortly before he left the program in December 2011, the Daily News reported.
Spencer, who says he left because of a philosophical difference with Shyiak, claimed the next day Shyiak told players not to talk publicly about the incident.
Haddad doesn't have a phone listing in Alaska, and didn't immediately respond to a Facebook message from the AP seeking comment.
Shyiak admits he rapped Haddad on the shins with a stick to "wake him up as to what was happening in the drills," said the coach's attorney, Kevin Fitzgerald, who added it was nothing more than that.
What Shyiak does feel bad about was exchanging words with a player, Fitzgerald said.
If the allegation from the Jan. 11, 2011, incident is true, it may constitute criminal behavior and has been forwarded to law enforcement, the university said in a prepared statement.
Leading the investigation will be Stephen Goetz, an investigator with the University of Alaska Fairbanks Police Department. Officials said since this alleged incident was more than two years old, and the alleged victim hasn't come forward, it was unlikely other law enforcement agencies would investigate. Goetz was chosen since he had no ties to the Anchorage campus.
University officials said a third party reported "a similar concern" in 2011. Athletic director Steve Cobb followed protocol, the release said, and referred the allegation to Steve Strom, a faculty member with no ties to the athletic department, to investigate.
The university says Strom emailed the alleged victim more than once, called once and left a voicemail but never heard back. Since there was no corroboration at the time, staff members determined no further action was warranted. However, the university says Cobb addressed the concerns with the coach.
"Despite the age of the allegation, recent disclosures affecting other athletic programs across the county make us all too aware that athletes may not be willing to report abuse," the university said when announcing it was also conducting an internal review to determine how that 2011 investigation was handled.
The university said to protect alleged victims or university personnel, it would not identify the sport or anyone involved.
Shyiak was fired in March after going 80-177-33 in eight seasons. In one of his last games leading the Seawolves, Cobb reprimanded him for throwing a water bottle onto the ice in a loss to Alaska Fairbanks.
Four finalists were chosen to replace Shyiak, but shortly after the last on-campus interview earlier this month, and two days after receiving Spencer's email, university officials suspended the hiring process.
That action came after the UAA Hockey Alumni Association issued a no-confidence vote in Cobb after what it said had been years of estrangement. The vote followed another no-confidence vote approved by the Alaska State Hockey Association.
Fitzgerald said the timing of the complaint against Shyiak should raise red flags, especially since the incident happened two years ago, it's not the alleged victim reporting it, and Shyiak has already been fired.
"This is all directed toward getting rid of Dr. Cobb, and Dave Shyiak is the unfortunate victim," he said.
The coaching search was reopened with a Friday deadline to apply. The first four finalists remain in the running, and the university hopes to hire someone by June 15.
Kristin DeSmith, an assistant vice chancellor, said the decision to reopen the search process didn't have anything to do with Spencer's email.
"The decision to halt and then reopen the hockey coach search was to retool the search criteria a bit and then to form a supplemental search committee made up of hockey alumni, hockey community members and UAA leadership," she said in an email to the AP.

Karen O'Connor was injured in a fall with Veronica at the Morven Park Fall Horse Trials in Leesburg, Va., on Oct. 6. She was diagnosed with a burst fracture of the T4 vertebra and a compression fracture of the T5 vertebra and is expected to make a full recovery.
After successfully completing the advanced cross-country in the Area II Advanced Championships division with Mandiba, O'Connor was riding Veronica when the mare fell at fence 13, a bounce.
"Veronica kind of stumbled down the gully and sort of broke to trot, so when I pushed her back into canter, she was a little bit behind my leg. I moved her up, but there wasn't a lot of time to work with—four or five strides," O'Connor said. "When she got back out in front of my leg, she was going pretty strong again, and there was a choice for a longer stride or a shorter stride. I pushed her for the longer stride. She took it, but she really powered at the takeoff, and it jumped her too far into the bounce, and she caught it hard on the way out, above the knee. She got her front feet out in front of her, and I saw them as she was touching down. I tried to slip my reins as best I could and get way back, and I thought we had it, but her hind end was over-rotating on the landing."
O'Connor, 54, said she hit her head but was not knocked unconscious. She felt a strong blow to her back, possibly Veronica's hoof, but doesn't know exactly what happened. Veronica was up and walking immediately with a few minor scrapes. The mare was sound and back to her usual self on Monday, according to groom Max Corcoran.
First O'Connor was taken to nearby Inova Loudoun Hospital for a CAT scan, and then she was transported to the Inova Trauma Center at Inova Fairfax Hospital. There she was diagnosed with a burst fracture of her T4 vertebra and a compression fracture of her T5 vertebra, but she did not show any signs of neurological impairment.
O'Connor, The Plains, Va., and Ocala, Fla., first opted for a turtle shell-type brace instead of a riskier route—a surgery involving rods and pins. However, during a visit to the Johns Hopkins Hospital (Md.) on Oct. 16, doctors discovered that an unstable vertebra had shifted. O'Connor underwent a five-hour surgery on Oct. 18.
"Just heard from the hospital that she is in the ICU recovering well [and] is in good spirits," wrote Brian O'Connor in an update on his facebook page. "They hope to have her up later this weekend moving about."

Crooks & Liars blogger karoli got it so right when she wrote, "If you have had the misfortune of being one of those kids who was sexually victimized by an adult, the one thing you know is the script. You know it by heart, and even after years of therapy and recovery and acceptance that script can send you back — right back — to where you were all those years ago, or yesterday."
Earlier in the weekend I was facebooking articles about the allegations against Atlanta-area "Bishop" Eddie Long (the quotations are because I've never heard of a fundamentalist Christian minister, I don't care how big his church, having such an old-school hierarchical title). There was a certain amount of righteous indignation motivating me as, yet again, another anti-gay Christian preacher on a pedestal was being brought down by allegations of the very behaviour he has organized marches in Atlanta against.
Having only heard about the disclosure late Sunday night by CNN anchor Don Lemon that he had been molested as a youngster, I'm still wide awake well past bed-time. Just like karoli says – stuff gets stirred up all over again, even some thirty-eight years later for me.
What both karoli and Don said is true (I'm calling him by his first name because he's been a facebook "like" for a long time and I now feel closer to him, however unrequited that may be. I'm used to that!). Those who have been in situations similar to the alleged victims in this case have an extra sensitivity to words used and scenarios created by abusers.
karoli: "They start by telling you how special you are, and how they want to spend time with you, help you to succeed. They invite you to their secret place, whether it's their house or their office or even their car. They're affectionate in words and speech, and they reach out, little by little and draw you in and because you're a kid and they're an adult you let them. It's not until later that the shame overcomes the privilege. They find you because you've had trouble in your life, or your family isn't all it should be, or you're poor, or you're smart, or whatever it is that attracts. And once they find you, they pursue you. Relentlessly."
I can still see that pervert in the early-70s, brown Pontiac Parisienne who, having wrung out my innocence once, now drove down the same dirt road past me with his swim trunks below his knees. I never gave in, though, and took not just a little pleasure in seeing him frustrated.
As Don Lemon pointed out, many African-American boys and men have a lot of taboos about homosexual acts – taking great pains to leave talk of such things to private times with their partner. "On the down low." The shame inherent in this hyper-secrecy could explain the "Bishop's" carefully chosen words on Sunday, although his body language also spoke, it seemed to me. So then how courageous was it for these four young men, each with detailed allegations that were independently reported, to share their stories with their lawyer – their individual pictures on TV! The courage this will continue to take going forward will knock hard against the taboos.
Long portrayed himself as little David (despite his size, his wealth and a large, cheer-leading congregation) going up against Goliath, the giant. Huh? Four kids and a lawyer, hardly Goliath. Maybe his task is Goliath – to refute the charges and stay out of jail.

Alan A needed a new stationery design and created a contest on 99designs.
A winner was selected from 103 designs submitted by 7 freelance designers.
Alan Anthony Coaching
Alan Anthony Coaching is a personal life & business coaching practice. The website, lifecoachpower.com, presently contains no content but is already designed. So, LifeCoachPower.com is the website for Alan Anthony Coaching.
I already have some examples of what I want, although I am totally open to something new! I had a design but when put on a biz card, the logo was too small too be clearly recognizable. So, back to the drawing board. I don't necessarily need the entire business card designed but am interested for a logo as I already laid out the rest of the card. I will also be using this logo for other stationary in the future & thus will need a couple of logo variations. See attached.
I would like to complete this contest long before the 7 day limit so...I hope to see your designs soon!
UPDATE: I've attached another file called CARD, which indicates my initial card layout ideas, although I am open to something better. There will also be a fax number on the card.
EDIT-increased prize-now looking for website header redesign to match card & stationary
People interested in personal development & growth. Those wanting to achieve more from their lives.
I would like the logo, fonts, etc to coincide with the website header design. Although the website name is not the same name as the biz name, for SEO reasons, I would like to see some consistency between the two, yet I THINK that so much color on a biz card & other stationary would look unprofessional. So, my thoughts were to maintain the pyramid concept while using less color & having the two visible sides of the pyramid forming two A's, as in the 1st letters of Alan & Anthony. See attached.
The attached files are not clear when reduced to a biz card size, so somehow the pyramid logo or whatever logo, needs to look good small. Perhaps this can be simply achieved by making one side of the pyramid a solid color, as it is now & making the other side with a white "A" bordered in a redish color. I am open to ideas. The tag line text is using the same font as the website, except that the A's were changed to suit me.
I need three different designs reflecting the change in the tag lines, to be used on other stationary or altered business cards. See 3 attached files called "Final3...". This was the logo that didn't look good on a biz card. The pyramid levels & the rays of light were not visible when reduced so do not seem necessary. See alananthony10.jpg for a better starting point. But, the colors don't works when reduced...they're not clear. Site colors & fonts also included.
