For Immediate Release: Jan. 30, 2014
Planned Parenthood Greater Memphis Region (PPGMR) is proud to participate again this year in a nationwide campaign to increase testing and treatment for sexually transmitted infections called "GYT:
Get Yourself Tested." In order to raise awareness and encourage testing, PPGMR has planned a number of free testing and community education events during the month of April.
- Thursday, April 7, 2011 – Free HIV testing and prevention counseling from 12-3pm at the University of Memphis, Brister Hall, Room 202.
- Tuesday, April 19, 2011 - Free Chlamydia, Gonorrhea and HIV testing from 10am to 4pm, at PPGMR's health center, 2430 Poplar Avenue.
- Free HIV testing each Monday from 4-7pm at Caritas Village, 2509 Harvard Avenue.
- Free HIV testing each Wednesday afternoon from 1-3 pm at GetWell Community Clinic, 3055 Watson Street.
- Free HIV testing each Wednesday night from 6-9pm at the Memphis Gay & Lesbian Community Center, 892 So. Cooper.
To view the full calendar of GYT testing opportunities and community events, click on this link: http://bit.ly/GYTcalendar.
Sexually active men and women may have a sexually transmitted infection without suffering any obvious symptoms. For example, studies show that 3 out of 4 women who have chlamydia have no symptoms at all. However, if left untreated these infections can lead to serious health problems, including infertility. To make sure you're in the clear, Get Yourself Tested!
For more information about the free testing events, please call (901) 725-1717 or go to our website, www.ppgmr.org.
Planned Parenthood Greater Memphis Region (PPGMR), founded in 1938, is an affiliate of Planned Parenthood Federation of America. PPGMR's mission is to ensure broad public access to reproductive and related health care through clinic services, education, advocacy and community partnerships in serving 42 counties in West Tennessee, North Mississippi and East Arkansas.

The doctor was introducing the medicine effects of dandelion to Fich, a patient from Afghanistan.
"In our country, this green leaves can be eaten through boiled or fried after drying," in the lawn of Shijiazhuang Kidney Disease Hospital, the doctor was introducing the dandelion vividly to Fich.
When his doctor in charge Dr. Lv introduced the dandelion could be used as herb to clear and remove the toxins, Fich was surprised and said that it was herb, when he came back, he must tell his family to put them in the water for a tea.
He is 38 years old, a dentist. Three years ago, he was found out kidney problem in an examination, diagnosed with FSGS.
"In the three years, I have gone to many hospitals, but the proteinuria and swelling still exist." He said. He met a Chinese friend in Afghanistan, and through the Chinese friend introduce, he decided to come to China for Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) treatment. "Facts proved that my choice is right," he slapped his legs the swelling disappeared and said with a smile.
On March 21, every year, the local resistant will choose climb the mountains to celebrate the independence day of Afghanistan. But Fich was in China alone, he was somewhat frustrated.
However, considering his condition had recovery, although he could not climb mountains, we did not want to make he disappointed, the medical staffs arranged a surprise for him. In that day, they came to a mountain around our city. "We let him take the cable car to the top of the mountain. He was excited that day." His doctor in charge said.
"I though I could not climb the mountain to celebrate this year because I went abroad. However, I spent a special anniversary with Chinese families." At that night, he told his experience with his families in Afghanistan through video chat.

I have always liked Mansi's sense of style. Her styling is generally quirky + cute but minimalist. And it sure looks great on her! She is also very camera friendly and photographs beautifully, unlike yours truly who is actually quite camera shy ;-)
So for the lunch, she wore a printed red Levi's dress and accessorized it with multi-colored sandals and a gorgeous watch. Its a fun and breezy outfit and just perfect for the hot summer that Mumbai is experiencing.
Sharing a bit of background, Mansi actually went to buy jeans at the Levi's store and instead ended up buying this dress. This came as a surprise to me cause I associate Levi's primarily to jeans! Has anyone of you had a similar experience?
Would love your thoughts on this OOTD. And yes, fingers crossed that Mansi will do more
guest posts on my blog :)
PS: Next post would be a restaurant review (the restaurant where Mansi, me and other friends met up for lunch)

Despite the fact that it's -4 degrees outside, it's a lovely day with lots of sun and snow, perfect to shoot some pictures. I'm wearing a fluffy white t-shirt I just bought two days ago in the final sale, I was lucky there were some nice things left. With that I'm wearing black trousers and wedges. All black & white.

Spring Break - BELIZE!Posted in Belize, Central America, t2i, travel on 8:38 PM by Kristina Cowell
Going to Belize over spring break was such a blast. This was my second mission trip down there, and I think it might have even better than last time! It was only 7 days, and we were busy pretty much every second of every day haha. As a result, it went by soo quick! I really hope I can go down their sometime in the future and have more time for photography. Here are just some of the the photos I took... I filled up three 16gb memory cards!
Side note: If you have a Tumblr, these are all on my Photography Tumblr (:
Photos from/Places went: Forest Home, Punta Gorda, Belize Zoo, Blue Hole National Park (inland,) as well as some other random places.
Catching up on posting!Posted in on 7:01 PM by Kristina Cowell
I feel like this blog has kind of died, even though people do occasionally come on, I haven't updated in months. However, I am set on reviving it so going back to last post's challenge I'm going to start posting a lot more. (But actually follow through this time!) I've been super busy recently, and I'll be busy for this last month of school, then SUMMER! Then, I'll actually have time to get on the computer. So stoked! --I'm such a nerd.
Anyway, so this is going to be a post of a couple random pictures from the last few months. (And I'll make a separate blog post about Belize.)

A couple of months ago I got a Tumblr - follow me! Ever since, I've been so inspired, but haven't really taken much photos until recently. So hopefully I'm going to finally get my first dslr within the next month or two. Then, I'll be taking a lot. (Also if you look at the side bar, I have to Belize again in 2 months, so will take a lot then.) I've also been really interested in time lapse & astrophotography.
So, this past Friday I had a journalism (the class) press conference, and was able to test out astrophotography with my school's camera Thursday night. It didn't actually come out how I thought it would... but I was my first attempt, so hopefully I'll be able to experiment more when I get my camera... and maybe go somewhere other than just my backyard in the city.
Also, a couple of weeks ago, I went up to Breckenridge and took some time lapse shots. I've been really busy & didn't like the first edit I made, so am going to make a tilt shift version sometime this week. So I'll probably be putting that up soon (:
TahoePosted in photography, rambling, travel on 4:42 PM by Kristina Cowell
However, I want to post something, because it's been a while. So here are some pictures from my summer trip to Lake Tahoe.
I've also recently been looking into film photography. I have a Pentax MV1 that I found stored away in boxes a few years ago. It's an 80's SLR, but I'm not positive if it works =\ If it doesn't, I hope to get one for Christmas.
Growing up in the digital age, I'm new to film, so if anyone has tips, feel free to comment them!

How Long Will Drug Rehab St Louis MO Take?
Any successful rehabilitation journey requires adequate planning. Planning is important for drug rehab St Louis MO because it enables you to take care of your finances, bills, family, and other obligations while you are away. The duration of stay in rehabilitation determines the amount of money you spend and how long you need to be excused from work and bills, etc.
It is impossible to provide a constant or universal answer to the duration taken for a person in rehab. There are numerous factors that determine the time you will attend rehabilitation session. It is by understanding these factors that you can estimate the actual rehabilitation duration.
Level Of Addiction
The level of addiction determines the attention given to a patient and recovery period. Persons who have been using drugs for a long period might take longer to be free as opposed to those who have just started on drugs. Depending on the level and type of addiction, you have the option of inpatient and outpatient treatment. Inpatient may take a very short time, as much as a month, but follow-up counseling extends longer. Generally, a person who has been on drugs for a longer period will require more rehabilitation hours.
Type Of Drug
Addicts deal with different drugs. Beyond that, there are drugs that present a stiffer challenge during rehabilitation compared to others. Some require medication and slow down injections while others can be stopped and substituted with healthier options that are not drug related. Some addictions are easily cured with lifestyle changes and life skill training. A change of location and daily schedule will help some to hasten their recovery. Initial assessment by an expert will help you determine how long it will take to treat a particular addiction.
Commitment To Be Clean
Therapists, friends, family members and other interested parties may commit a lot of time and effort in rehabilitation, but it will take a person decision to deliver results. An addict who is willing to commit time for rehabilitation and works tirelessly will stay for a shorter period in rehab. Such an addict should be ready to follow the directions of counselors in order to boost the chances of recovery. There must be commitment to sacrifice time and resources towards rehabilitation. Consistency is also vital to avoid relapse or dragging treatment and recovery too far.
Type Of Care Required
Addicts require care based on the level of addiction and drug involved. Some stages demand intensive inpatient rehabilitation while others will do with outpatient care. In other cases, counseling will be applied with good results. Some addicts will go through the full rehabilitation program involving inpatient rehab, outpatient and follow-up sessions. Each addresses different aspects of addiction with the aim of steering the addict towards recovery.
Knowing how long you take at drug rehab St Louis MO makes planning easier. Talk to our experts to get a more accurate diagnosis. This knowledge will enable you focus on treatment and thus achieve better results.

The Jackson Giants American Legion baseball team opened play on Sunday, traveling to Riverton and taking two games from the home-standing Raiders, 19-14 in seven innings and 7-2 in five innings. Ethan Moulder was the starting pitcher in the opener and left after three innings with the score tied at six, giving way to Christian Doyle. Doyle gave up six runs in the fourth before settling down and allowing only two runs and no hits over the next two innings. Meanwhile, in his first official at-bat of the season, Moulder hit a two-run home run in the first inning and Jackson exploded for 12 runs in the fifth, giving Doyle the win. Sean Sonderman pitched a scoreless seventh inning to wrap up the game for the Giants. Carlos Toledo went three-for-four at the plate, with two RBIs and two runs scored, and Mark Rossolo was two-for-four, scored three times and had two RBIs.
In the second game, Toledo was two-for-three and scored twice, Moulder added an RBI double, and Patrick Renz and Dillon White each had two-run singles. Andy Renz was the starter and picked up the win, going three innings, giving up one run on three hits. Brother Patrick pitched the final two innings and gave up one run on two hits. Next up for the Giants is a two-game set in Bozeman, MT, on Saturday.

Salinity distribution reported by the research teams is a key success factor of this project because it aims to have a clear understanding of the distribution of salinity and the extent of land degradation in central and southern Iraq. To achieve this, a range of techniques including remote sensing and geographic information system has been deployed by the research team. Mr. Waleed al Shafie, an expert in geographic information systems (GIS), tells us more about the process and the initial results of his team.
How does the remote sensing technique help you identify the spatial distribution of salts? What are its limitations and advantages?
Spatial Salinity distribution follows an approach that integrates multi-temporal classification of remotely sensed data, physical and chemical soil properties and landform attributes. The maps we developed represent the changes in the distribution of salinity levels and its severity.
Advantages of remote sensing for land evaluation can be summarized as follows
- It is a rapid method of acquiring up-to-date information over a large geographical area and it is relatively cheap.
- It is the only practical way to obtain data from inaccessible regions.
- At small scales, regional phenomena which are invisible from the ground are clearly visible.
- It is a quick method of constructing base maps in the absence of detailed land surveys.
- Easy to manipulate with the computer, and combine with other geographic coverage in the GIS.
There are also some disadvantages of remote sensing for land evaluation
- There is no proper sampling or documentation of this phenomenon, so our team should dedicate effort to achieve that.
- All data must be geometrically recorded and geo-referenced.
- Resolution of satellite imagery is too coarse for detailed mapping and for distinguishing small contrasting areas.
Tell us about your activities over the next season?
We have several activities to complete over the next season. We have to continue with the documentation and collection of existing data and maps (soil salinity, soil types and properties, cannel and irrigation, water table and water quality, field sampling and investigation, remote sensing models development, multi-temporal high resolution remote sensing salinity mapping in each project area.
What data sources did you use for your analysis?
We collect information from several sources such as Iraqi ministries, ground truth, field sampling (Field visit and measurement), salinity studies and thesis, Reports etc.
In your five pilot study sites, what were the differences/ similarities between them?
There are differences in the Agricultural land use, Irrigation, river water and groundwater use, other human activities, construction and urbanization, oil exploitation and even impacts of war on land degradation, remote sensing model + existing data, parcel level biophysical and socioeconomic indicators.
The similarities are in Biome and landscape types, topography (1/25,000-100,000) as well as DEM, soil types & properties, rainfall and runoff, water quality, groundwater table and hydrological model.

Bob Rae, Lisa Raitt, Elizabeth May and Ottawa Mayor Larry O'Brien to Make Onstage Appearances at the Thirteenth Annual Black & White Opera Soirée
OTTAWA, November 26, 2009 —– Hosted by Sheila Copps and Maxime Bernier, the 13th annual Black & White Opera Soiree features the NAC Orchestra, the Opera Lyra Ottawa Chorus, and magnificent singers performing opera's most popular hits. The Black & White Opera Soiree -- themed Opera on the Hill -- takes place on Saturday February 27, 2010 at 8 p.m. in Southam Hall of the National Arts Centre. The NAC Orchestra will be conducted by Andrew Grams, and the Opera Lyra Ottawa Chorus is under the direction of Chorus Master Laurence Ewashko.
The Black & White Opera Soiree -- an annual winter benefit for the National Arts Centre Orchestra and Opera Lyra Ottawa -- is presented for the thirteenth year by founding sponsor Bell.
Last year, the Black & White Opera Soiree was acknowledged as one of the freshest and funniest ever, with a sparkling constellation of stars from politics and journalism joining some of Canada's finest singers and musicians. Major public figures sang, danced, and parodied their public image, and special surprise guests -- politicians, journalists, and entertainers -- made hilarious cameo appearances. That tradition continues this year as brilliant writers skewer the wacky world of Parliament Hill. Appearances have been confirmed by public figures who cover the spectrum of Canadian politics: Bob Rae (Liberal), Lisa Raitt (Conservative), Elizabeth May (Green) and Ottawa Mayor Larry O'Brien.
Bob Rae, Member of Parliament for Toronto Centre, has been elected ten times to federal and provincial parliaments, winning every election he has contested. Bob was Ontario's 21st Premier, from 1990 to 1995. He has experience at the highest levels of government in Canada and was an active participant in some of the most important constitutional talks of the day. Bob Rae ran for the leadership of the Liberal Party in 2006 and 2008. He currently serves as the foreign affairs critic for the Liberal Party of Canada.
The Honourable Lisa Raitt, Minister of Natural Resources, Member of Parliament for Halton, was first elected to the House of Commons in 2008. Prior to that, Ms. Raitt was the President and CEO of the Toronto Port Authority. She had previously served as their general counsel and harbourmaster. As a lawyer, Ms. Raitt specialized in the areas of intellectual property, commercial litigation, and shipping arbitration. Ms. Raitt resides in Halton and is the mother of two boys.
Environmentalist, writer, activist and lawyer Elizabeth May has a four-decade record as a dedicated advocate for social justice, the environment, human rights, and pragmatic economic solutions. She is a graduate of Dalhousie Law School and was admitted to the Bar in both Nova Scotia and Ontario. In 2006, Elizabeth stepped down as Executive Director of the Sierra Club of Canada to run for the leadership of the Green Party of Canada; she was elected the party's ninth leader in August 2006. Elizabeth May is a mother and grandmother.
In November 2006, voters elected Larry O'Brien as Mayor of Ottawa. A newcomer to politics, Mayor O'Brien stated his commitment to run the city on a more business-like basis. Mayor O'Brien was born in Ottawa and graduated from the Algonquin School of Technology 1972 with a diploma in Technology. He founded CALIAN Technologies Ltd. in 1982 as a one-person consulting company and built it into an internationally competitive technology firm. Mayor O'Brien is married to Colleen McBride and has two sons, Mike and Matthew.
The Black & White Opera Soiree evening includes a cocktail reception, a sumptuous gourmet dinner devised by NAC Executive Chef Michael Blackie, and an elegant post-concert reception with the artists. It's clear that the Black & White Opera Soiree -- alive with Ottawa's A-list, from politicians to corporate executives to some of Canada's most popular artists and entertainers – is the undisputed highlight of the Ottawa social season!
The Black & White Opera Soiree proudly showcases Canadian talent, with proceeds divided equally between the NAC Orchestra and Opera Lyra Ottawa. A vital source of funding for both organizations, since its inception in 1998 the Black & White Opera Soiree has raised more than $2.94 million. All the funds raised stay in the local community, helping to foster Canada's next generation of talented musical artists. The Black & White Opera Soiree makes possible much-needed education programs and tours to Ottawa-Gatineau schools as well as numerous training, mentoring, and performance opportunities.
The Black & White Opera Soiree takes place on Saturday, February 27, 2010 at the National Arts Centre.
Soiree tickets are $325, which includes a cocktail reception, dinner, concert, and a post-concert party with the stars. Soiree tickets may be purchased through the NAC Foundation at 613-947-7000, ext. 322 or from Opera Lyra Ottawa at 613-233-9200, ext. 224.
Concert-only tickets are $80, $65, and $50 and are available:
· at the NAC Box Office in person or by faxing 613-233-5431
· at the Opera Lyra Ottawa Box Office in person or by calling 613-233-9200, ext. 221
· through Ticketmaster (with surcharges) at 613-755-1111; Ticketmaster may also be accessed through the NAC's web-site at www.nac-cna.ca.
For more information on the event please visit the website of the NAC (www.nac-cna.ca ) or of Opera Lyra Ottawa (www.operalyra.ca).

Today I'm feeling like a fashion bad-ass. I dunno why, maybe it's the neon yellow lace skirt (I know, doesn't really look neon in the pictures!) and matching nail polish. Or the 2 sunshine awards (Thank YOU, Fash-uh-nee-stah and GretchTM!). Or the lashes (I put on some fake ones and they always make me feel glamorous!). Whatever it is, it totally affected the clothing I chose and the poses I did.
Thank the person who gave it
Write a post about it
Pass it on to 12 bloggers
I would like to give this award to: Tiffany at BREAKFAST WITH TIFFANY, THE CAT HAG, Melissa at WRITE IT IN LIPSTICK, Bonnie at GLAM KITTENS LITTEBOX, Mary at STYLEFYLES, Gracey at FASHION FOR GIANTS, Vanessa at BIG GIRL. LITTLE BUDGET. TINY TOWN, Maya at SOCCER MOM STYLE, Nnena at STAR-CROSSED SMILE, Kimberlee at OUR LIFE. UNEDITED., Melyssa at BEAUTINIQUE, and DEAR GIRL.
I was reading in a magazine that Tim Gunn suggests wearing neon colors with gray or brown. So I decided to try it. The first look is one I copied from the magazine where the model was wearing an argyle sweater with a similar skirt. I decided to pair it with the shoes I bought in Korea a few years back. The second outfit I did was a striped black/gray shirt. Yes, I decided to mix prints. Told you I was feeling like a bad-ass! Finally, my last outfit was a rust shirt so kindly given to me by Fierce (you can see more pieces she gave me here). And the shoes are the ones I wore for my wedding 5-1/2 years ago!!!
So like I was saying, I had MAJOR FASHION ATTITUDE. However, each time I finished shooting photos I would get a little FASHION BUZZ KILL when I'd come into my room and see Pigtails. Unfortunately, I think maybe she too was feeling like a FASHION BAD-ASS...

The president's press conference was a huge mistake, not because he made a partisan case for his massive spending plan. Nothing else could be expected.
But when he distorted the GOP opposition as wanting to do nothing he lost the game. The American people are tuned into this debate and know very well that the GOP is committed to a large but balanced stimulus plan that puts tax relief and immediate infrastructure spending to work to immediately surge the economy. They have listened closely to the arguments made on the Senate floor and know that the president's bald mischaracterization of those positions is just false.
Combine that bit of theater with the deeply disturbing answer on Iran –looking for Iran to reach out to us after two weeks of "diplomacy"– and his incoherent explanatuion of the origins of the financial crisis, and the president left millions cold and worried tonight. He may get his porkapalooza, but the campaign rhetoric tonight is not up to the job, and voters know it.
UPDATE: The New York Times reports White House officials are pleased that the president made no obvious blunders. Right.

Susan Schneider Perfects The Art Of The Lampshade (And More)
Photo: Shandell's
By Lisa Green
"I'm changing the world one lampshade at a time" declares Susan Schneider. The proprietor of Shandell's Lampshades (and other goods, which we'll get into in a moment), has recently relocated from Millerton to an antique house on Main Street in Sheffield, Mass.
"You can't have a plain shade. It's like having a plain hat," says Schneider. That's a fitting metaphor for Schneider, who approaches lampshades like a milliner might, consulting with clients about shape, proportion and trims. She's got a supply of vintage wallpaper and shibori-dyed fabrics on hand (more accurately, spilling out of cupboards and drawers) for her clients to create their one-of-a-kind shade. Because she says, and it's true, most lampshades are pretty uninspiring. But not when Schneider's got her hands on them — and she does make each one by hand.
Over the years, Schneider's artistic impulses have expanded, and visitors to her exuberant new shop and studio will find a delightful assortment of decorative and gifty things. Along with the lampshades, Schneider makes night-lights, tissue boxes, decoupaged glass trays, and lamp finials that look like — and are displayed as — pieces of the finest jewelry (she calls them lamp candy). She also has become passionate about hand painting and marbling paper, and shibori, a technique of indigo dyeing using the art of tying and folding fabrics to create one-of-a-kind patterns. (She plans to offer classes on the shibori process later in the year, when weather permits the dyeing to be done outside.)
"I don't throw anything away," says the self-described "mad collector," and that's quite clear. The shop is divided into separate ateliers, with armoires, cabinets and workbenches overflowing with objects waiting to be turned into lamps, like the stunning vintage wood and brass wallpaper rollers. Other surfaces hold curious items that have made the transition. My favorites were the 19th-century carriage wheel hubs [below]. It takes a while to figure out what some of the bases originally were, but Schneider is happy to give you a little history lesson.
So how did a nice Jewish girl from Teaneck, New Jersey end up as a lamp lady in the Berkshires? Schneider has been visiting the area all her life, but prior to actually settling here a few months ago, she had lived in the Hudson Valley and Millerton, NY. Back in the '90s, she was an antiques dealer who got into lighting and could never find shades she liked, so she decided to make them herself. This was before the internet, and she couldn't find any books or instruction manuals for how to make a lampshade.
"I've always been fascinated with how things are made. So I took some lampshades apart to see how they were constructed, and I taught myself how to make them," she says. "I'm totally self taught." The same goes for the marbled paper, matchboxes trimmed in copper tape and the shibori cloth she's created out of a variety of natural fabrics. She makes each piece in her studio in back, where she's kept company by her two rescue dogs, Matilda the Jack Russell and and Abby the Newf.
Schneider with hand-painted papers; decorative matchboxes; finials.
You usually need to be working with a decorator to find someone to design and make custom lampshades, which is why Schneider is such a treasure. Last year, Victoria magazine highlighted her as one of "seven exceptional women who have transformed their passions into profitable ventures," and her work has been featured in House Beautiful, Country Living and the New York Times, among other publications.
Customers often come to her with their own heirlooms and other objects they'd like to have wired, and there's almost nothing, Schneider says, that can't be turned into a lamp (except, maybe, for that sculpture someone once brought in).
Just don't go in there looking for a plain white lampshade.

Optimus Prime, Puts Superman In His PlaceReviewing: Hasbro Protoform Optimus Prime | Rating:
Every kid loves a good transforner. I once had a toy box that was filled with so many transformer bits and pieces, I spent an entire weekend trying to put everything back together again, without much success. My mom was not going to fuel my transformer habit, any longer, unless I could put four of my older ones back together, as they came from the store.
Today, I find myself making very familiar bargains with my youngest son, Matt, with many of his favorite toys.
A few weeks ago, we were at Toys R' Us and Matt was burning a whole in his pocket, right away. We went over to the "Action Figure" department and a couple of minutes later, Matt had six different action figures in his arms. I do not know, how we will ever be able to put this kid through even, community college, at the rate he spends his allowance.
We got as practical, as a father and son can get over these "action figure" issues. Somehow, I managed to influence this to his single favorite, "Protoform Optimus Prime"; one of the transformers from the movie of the same name, "Transformers".
Well, it is still my son's favorite transformer, for now anyway. Matt and his buddies enjoy going into battle with their transformers, to do serious battle. They even pit these guys against other super heroes.
I watched Superman take a real beating one afternoon and it broke my heart, to watch the "man of steel" get grabbed out of the air by his cape, then crushed by the likes of, "Starscream". The world is not a safe place, with transformers running wild in the streets.
Matt loves his "Optimus Prime". What's not to like? He transforms into a spaceship! Yes, he his a collector's item too. I don't think Matthew cares much about saving this bad dude, to help pay for his college education.

BAF at a Glance
Our History
The Brain Aneurysm Foundation was established in Boston in 1994 as a public charity. The foundation developed from a close relationship between patients and healthcare professionals who identified the need for comprehensive information and support for brain aneurysm patients, their families, and the medical community. The Brain Aneurysm Foundation is now the globally recognized leader in brain aneurysm awareness, education, support, advocacy, and research funding.
Our Mission
• Provide information about and raise awareness of the symptoms and risk factors of brain aneurysms to prevent ruptures and subsequent death and disability.
• Work with medical communities to provide support networks for patients and families.
• Advance research to improve patients' outcomes and save lives.
Some Facts
Brain aneurysms are silent killers because most cause no symptoms. It is estimated that up to one in 50 people in the United States will develop a brain aneurysm during his or her lifetime. Due to the lack of awareness about brain aneurysms and limited research funding, the situation today is dire. Each year about 30,000 people in this country will suffer a ruptured brain aneurysm. Nearly half of those people will die, and of those who survive, seven in ten will suffer permanent deficits. While most brain aneurysms occur in adults over 40, they also occur in children and young adults, often with tragic consequences.
Hope through Research
Through research, there is hope. The Brain Aneurysm Foundation is funding research that will directly benefit people with brain aneurysms. In fact, the foundation is the largest private funder of brain aneurysm research in the United States. Each year, the foundation awards grants to investigators engaged in basic, clinical, translational, and outcomes research focused on improving the outlook for people with brain aneurysms. The projects the foundation supports span diverse areas of critical importance, including brain aneurysm genetics and development, early detection, new diagnostic methods, new surgical and non-surgical treatments, prevention and treatment of complications, socio-economic impact, and quality of life.
The Brain Aneurysm Foundation Needs You!
The Brain Aneurysm Foundation has no endowment and relies solely on contributions from donors to fulfill its mission. Please become part of our growing team with a personal or corporate contribution, or by organizing a foundation-sponsored fundraising event. We welcome all resources and opportunities that support our mission. Thank you for helping us help others.

For the bacon, onion and tomato jam: Toss the bacon into a large saute pan with a few drops of olive oil and the crushed red pepper flakes. Bring the pan to medium heat and cook the bacon until brown and crispy, 6 to 7 minutes. Spoon out 2 tablespoons of the rendered bacon fat from the pan and reserve. Add the onions and tomatoes and season with salt. Continue to cook, stirring occasionally, until the tomatoes and onions are soft and very aromatic, 12 to 15 minutes. Taste and reseason if needed. Stir in the oregano. Keep warm until ready to serve.
For the toast and wilted spinach: Preheat a cast-iron griddle pan over medium-high heat. Once heated, add the butter and melt. Once melted, add the Pullman rounds and toast on both sides until golden brown, about 1 minute per side. Once toasted, remove from the pan and carefully rub each piece with the garlic cloves. Set aside on plates.
Add the reserved bacon fat to a large saute pan and preheat over medium-high heat. Once heated, add the spinach and salt and stir until wilted. Drain and discard any excess water. Taste and adjust the seasoning as needed. Top the bread with the spinach just before serving.
For the poached eggs: Fill a medium saucepan two-thirds of the way with water. Add the vinegar and bring to boil (BTB). Reduce the heat until no bubbles break the surface of the water¿the idea is to create an egg Jacuzzi, a very gentle cooking method.
Crack the eggs into the poaching liquid and cook for 4 minutes. When done, the whites will be cooked through and the yolks will be warm and runny.
Remove the eggs from the poaching liquid and blot on a paper towel before putting on the wilted spinach and toast. Top with the bacon jam and garnish with fresh oregano.
Serve with a pitcher of freshly squeezed grapefruit juice.

Back in the early-to-mid '80s, Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, which had been an internationally recognised steel-producing superpower since the 1800s, was in the midst of an economic transformation that came at the hand of the initial stages of United States deindustrialization, foreign market competition, jobs being shipped overseas, environmental abuse and government regulation. This transformed the once bustling steel city into deep recession and threw the local population into crisis mode as hundreds of thousands of jobs in every area from blue collar trade work and white collar corporate desk jockeying to research scientists and development engineers were essentially dumped in the Allegheny, Monongahela and Ohio Rivers, the aquatic meeting point at which the city exists.
Pittsburgh became ground zero for the concentric outward movement of what became known as 'The Rust Belt', the decaying of the once prosperous industry that not only built the metropolis, but gave it its identity. A remarkable comeback has been made since, but to say things were bleak at the time is an understatement. For a span of time the cities' most notable exports were doomsday news reports, George Romero's zombie flicks, some of the most punishing [American] football players of the era – playing for a team called the Steelers, natch – and equally punishing extreme music from the likes of Regressive Aid, Flag Of Democracy, Derkéta, Nunslaughter and Dream Death.

Pastor Sandy
Pastor Sandy is not your ordinary "First Lady," she knows and operates within her calling as a co-laborer in ministry. She is an ordained minister, who is humbled God uses her to prepare His people for kingdom-building through her ministry and spiritual leadership. Her desire is to see Christians move beyond spectating in the pews to reaching out and ministering to the hearts, minds, and souls of people. She is a real talk, truth-teller that ministers the truth of God's word.
Born and raised in Fort Worth, Texas, Pastor Sandy moved to the metro Detroit area in 2002. She is a graduate of Texas Wesleyan University with a Bachelor of Arts in Business and a MBA in Organizational Management. She was the owner and Chief Consultant of her own consulting firm that provided leadership, diversity and other training and writing services for clients throughout the US and Canada. She is passionate about providing those same services to the body of Christ. "I am excited by the opportunity to minister the liberating Gospel to others. I want both believers and non-believers to know that God can transform their situations and their lives." She knows that only by the truth of the Word of God and His power, that we all can be set free from past hurts, sin, and mediocrity.
She has a heart for women and speaking to the hearts of women and young ladies, encouraging them to take the rejections, heartaches and sins of the past and embrace the liberating nature of God. "The Holy Spirit will take what we release and the new life can begin." She believes that as soon as women begin to see themselves as God sees them, the empowerment and encouragement we feel will allow us to bless other women with that same encouragement and love.
Her daily source of joy is Psalm 37:4, delight thyself also in the Lord and He shall give you the desires of your heart. Unfortunately many Christians have yet to understand what "delight" really means. People delight in food, clothes, cars and other material possessions then beg and plead with God when He doesn't honor and bless their disobedience. She has learned to delight in the Lord because she knows that He is the source to greater things that she cannot access on her own.
In 2010, Pastor Sandy graduated from Liberty Baptist Theological Seminary with a Master of Arts degree in Evangelism and Church Planting. Her desire is to coach and mentor Pastors, First Ladies and leaders to confidently walk in authority becoming an integral part of healthy faith families. Apostle and Pastor Sandy led Serenity's Marriage Ministry and minister authentically the truth of God's Word together and stand as examples of God's continued goodness and favor. They both minister as coaches to other leaders throughout the country and are committed to the spiritual growth of others. They are truly a blessing to the ministry and growth taking place at Serenity Christian Church. You can email our First Lady at firstname.lastname@example.com.

At the age of 65, Diane Keaton has decided it's about time she write a memoir. The Academy Award-winning actress used her personal journals and love letters to help her write her new memoir, Then Again, which features highlights of her romance with Woody Allen!
Diane shared an excerpt from her memoir in the November issue of Vogue that shows just how much she's opening up about her romance with Woody.
The actress starred with Woody in hits like Sleeper, Love and Death and Annie Hall.
"I was his endearing oaf. I had him pegged as a cross between a 'White Thing' and the cockroach you couldn't kill," Diane writes. "We shared a love of torturing each other with our failures. His insights into my character were dead-on and hilarious. This bond remains the core of our friendship and, for me, love."
Diane met Woody in 1968 when they both worked on his stage comedy, Play It Again, Sam, and Diane fell for him in real life.
"How could I not? I was in love with him before I knew him. He was Woody Allen. Our entire family used to gather around the TV set and watch him on Johnny Carson. He was so hip, with his thick glasses and cool suits," she writes. "But it was his manner that got me, his way of gesturing, his hands, his coughing and looking down in a self-deprecating way while he told jokes like 'I couldn't get a date for New Year's Eve so I went home and I jumped naked into a vat of Roosevelt dimes.'"
"He was even better-looking in real life," she adds. "He had a great body, and he was physically very graceful."
But Woody fell for her too!
"Woody got used to me," Diane says. "He couldn't help himself; he loved neurotic girls."
"Most people assumed Annie Hall was the story of our relationship. My last name is Hall," she explains. "Woody and I did share a significant romance, according to me, anyway."
Sounds significant to us, too!
Diane's Then Again comes out next month.

Explore areas that are usually closed to visitors and meet the staff and volunteers who care for Cotehele.
We'll throw open the doors for you to explore areas usually closed to visitors. Meet the staff and volunteers who care for Cotehele, peek into offices, enter the sixteenth-century dovecote, the old potting shed, and climb the spiralling 55 stone stairs to the roof of the house (weather permitting).
This event is free, but normal admission charges apply for the venue.
You might want to bring a torch to peek into the back of all the closets. The sixteenth-century dovecote in the Valley Garden was once the roost for birds that were destined for the Edgcumbe family's dinner table. These days a dole of doves happily makes its home there without worry. You'll be welcome inside during Cotehele unlocked. The gardeners advise anyone hoping to visit the dovecote not to wear their best shoes - the resident white doves do tend to leave the floor a bit mucky.

This week, I will touching the core of PR. I will talk about three very important topics just as the tittle mentions. Those three elements are very important for the PR practitioner.
The practice of public relations is all about earning credibility and it must be based on doing the right thing, or acting ethically. Credibility begins with telling the truth.
Ethical decisions are based on:
- Our moral choices
- Norms of society
- Legal principles
- Organizational values
- Professional values
- Lawyers correctly advise clients on what they must do, within the letter of legal requirements to defend themselves in a court of law.
- Public relations practitioners, advise clients on not what they must do but what they should do to defend themselves in the court of public opinion.
In an article entitled "How to maintain your credibility during a PR crisis" we find the following advise:
So, what can you do to maintain your credibility during a PR crisis?
- Respond quickly – The longer you stay silent, the more likely it is that the public will assume you've done something wrong and have something to hide. When the poop starts hitting the fan, you have to respond quickly to limit the size of the mess. Get out there and show people that you're competent, confident, and in control of the situation.
Public relations practitioners must be aware of situations involving libel and slander. Many public relations professionals create, write and edit internal print and online newsletters. In this context, they must be careful not to defame fellow employees or others in what they write. The same rule applies for public relations professionals who make statements to the media on behalf of their organizations.
Public relations advisers depend on "buy-in" from others in management. Lawyers are among the most influential of these associates, therefore, forming an alliance with legal counselors must be a front-line objective for public relations professionals.
Research is essentially the first step with the client. Every public relations program or solution should begin with research. This is because the PR professional should have "proof" that what they advise is based on logic and clear thinking.
A firm must acquire enough accurate, relevant data about its publics, products and programs to answer the following questions:
- How does this knowledge relate to the design of our message?
- How does it relate to the design of our programs?
- How does it relate to the media we use to convey our messages?
- How does it relate to the schedule we adopt in using our media?
- How does it relate to the implementation tactics of our program?
There is different types of Public Relations Research, among the ones used by PR professionals are:
- Applied research: strategic or evaluative.
- Theoretical research: More abstract and conceptual than applied research.
- Secondary Research: Allows to examine or read about and learn from someone else's primary research.
On another article, entitled, Importance of Research in Public Relations we find the following explanation on the importance of research in this field.
Public relations professionals often find themselves in the position of having to convince management to fund research, or to describe the importance of research as a crucial part of a departmental or project budget. Research is an essential part of public relations management. Here is a closer look at why scholars argued that conducting both formative and evaluative research is vital in modern public relations management:
- Research makes communication two-way by collecting information from publics rather than one-way, which is a simple dissemination of information. Research allows us to engage in dialogue with publics, understanding their beliefs and values, and working to build understanding on their part of the internal workings and policies of the organization.
- Research makes public relations activities strategic by ensuring that communication is specifically targeted to publics who want, need, or care about the information.Ehling and Dozier (1992).
- Research allows us to show results, to measure impact, and to refocus our efforts based on those numbers.Dozier and Ehling (1992).
My advise would be as well that, before recommending a course of action, public relations professionals must analyze audiences, assess alternatives and generally do their homework.

However, there was Robert Pattinson's incredibly square jaw to consider (I may have watched the rental more than once to study the beauty of that man's face) and I figured there had to be more to the storyline that possibly just didn't translate to the movie. So I borrowed the books from a friend and the rest is history.
So here I am, along with my other twenty and thirty-something friends anticipating the upcoming New Moon movie like a bunch of giddy schoolgirls. We decided we needed a physical marker of our obsession and what better thing than Twilight t-shirts!
Now, we might be pathetic grown women obsessing over fictional characters and actors who make the cover of Teen People, but we're not so pathetic that we want to be seen in our nearest Hot Topic picking out generic Twilight shirts.
So since we've all got a crafty streak we've decided to make our own t-shirts. We've got big plans and since we're not actually constructing them until next week I can't show you the finished products. However, I wanted to share something I have planned for my shirt in case anyone else out there has a similar Edward fascination.
I give you the Edward silhouette.
Silhouette's are big nowadays and I'll admit that along with fictional vampires they are another one of my current obsessions. So I decided to do one of Edward (R. Patz).
I created it by combing the web for some profile shots of Robert and tracing the outline of his chiseled features. I used this photo for his face and then had to find another one for the hair and meld them together, but I thought it came out pretty well.
I'm going to paint him on my T using the freezer paper method. I got to thinking that he'd be great on other things as well like on a pillowcase, or at the end of a simple scarf, or if you're really obsessed you could frame him and put him on your wall, use him to make invitations to the Twilight party you throw when New Moon comes out on video – whatever! I just couldn't keep him for myself.
So feel free to right click on the picture(s) above and save it to your files to do with as you will. All I ask is that if you use him that you share what you made. I'd love to see it! Shoot me an email (firstname.lastname@example.com) or whatever.

Altran expands to Detroit, brings passive safety solutions to U.S.

Passive safety testing at Altran, Wixom

Pedestrian passive safety is a concept that means little to the average American, yet it's been part of vehicle safety development in Europe for nearly a
Altran, the largest global, multi-industry engineering, research, and development powerhouse, with $3 billion in revenue and 45,000 employees in 20 countries--but relative newcomer to the Detroit region--has deep expertise in pedestrian passive safety. Altran's skilled workforce has been testing pedestrian passive safety solutions, as well as airbags and vehicle interiors, in its World Class
Passive Safety Center
in Wixom since opening in November, 2107. The center joins others of its kind operated by
in Austria, Germany, Canada, and France.
Known as active bonnet or active hood, these passive safety systems work to decrease injury to pedestrians in the case of impact, and in some cases, the need for these systems can drive the design of the vehicle. Manufacturers that export vehicles to Europe know all about active bonnet systems, but it's just a matter of time before domestic vehicle models will be required to incorporate this type of safety technology, says Sebastian Wipfler, manager of the Altran's World Class Center in Wixom.
Sebastian Wipfler manages the Altran Passive Safety Center in Wixom
"If you are driving a car, you can work to prevent an accident, but if there is an accident, the car has to be developed to give the pedestrian the highest chance to survive," says Wipfler. European regulations require testing to prove that vehicles will do minimal damage to pedestrians on impact.
Here in the U.S., there were 5,376 pedestrian fatalities in 2015, an
from the previous year.
"The automotive industry is continually working to make cars safer, and one of the critical elements of making a car driverless is managing the safety," says Mohan Raju, Altran head of automotive North America."We all work to prevent collision using active safety, or maneuvering the car using technology, and this is essentially the work going on in the autonomous vehicle space."
Until driverless vehicles are mainstream in the market, passive safety measures that minimize or eliminate injury to pedestrians and passengers are an important part of future automotive safety regulations in the U.S.
"Europe is ahead of the U.S. in passive safety, particularly in pedestrian safety," Raju says.
Expanding to the U.S.
While Altran could have located its center in several locations here in the U.S., the Detroit region's dense population of vehicle manufacturers and suppliers, robust global automotive leadership, and automotive engineering talent made Michigan the most attractive and smartest choice.
Altran clients, including OEMs and Tier 1 suppliers, were seeking a local presence of expertise, and Altran recognized the market opportunity. The scouting process began in 2016, when the head of the Altran World Class Center in Graz, Austria met informally with members of the
Destination Detroit
team of the Detroit Regional Chamber, and asked some smart questions.
Detroit's automotive reputation solidified Altran's decision quickly. While it may make sense for startups to consider the west coast, every automotive resource has a presence in the Detroit region.
"Where is the best place to be for automotive? You always end up in the Detroit area," says Wipfler. "Even west coast companies, most of them now have offices here. The Tier 1s are here. Everyone needs to be present in the Detroit area. That's what we saw."
When Altran was ready to focus in and select a location for its testing facility, it returned to the connection it had made with the Destination Detroit team.
"From our conversations, we learned Detroit is where they wanted to be. For automotive engineering and R&D, this is the hub, and the customers they were looking for and the leadership in the auto industry are all here," says Will Butler, business development representative with the Detroit Regional Chamber.
Mohan Raju
Butler and his team took a deep dive and learned that Altran needed a site on a moderate parcel of land that could accommodate a 500-foot straight track for testing, and be enclosed by fencing to maintain client confidentiality. They researched dozens of locations, and brought on board a real estate expert to find just the right building, in an appropriate location, that could accommodate customization on a tight schedule.
"It was a little bit like a puzzle, and certainly an interesting challenge," says Butler. "As economic developers, we want projects to be easy and quick, and we worked hard to help Altran find just what they needed. Speed to market is the name of the game."
Support on the ground
Assuming the quarterback role, the Destination Detroit team kept the project on track and moving forward by tapping into a deep network of experts, including county and city departments that responded quickly and worked to provide approval for the site's specific needs.
Ultimately, Altran's successful expansion into the Detroit region--and into the United States-- was a collaborative effort between Destination Detroit, Oakland County, and the city of Wixom. Destination Detroit's long standing experience in the needs of advanced automotive industries helped Altran meet its goals for growth.
"The people at Destination Detroit were very helpful all along," says Raju. "Once we chose our building, it needed special approvals from the city of Wixom to be built to our needs, and the Detroit Regional Chamber helped us coordinate with the city to get the approvals."
Now In operation with about eight employees in Wixom, Altran plans to grow to a staff of 25 within a couple of years.
"Altran has a very large global presence, but we are relatively new to the North American market. For us to get entry into this region as a service provider to any of the OEMs or Tier1s, we have to be ahead of the game, and better at something that not many other providers can offer," says Raju. "One of our entry strategies was to bring in the World Class Center for Passive Safety in Detroit, and expand into offering each OEM all the other services we can provide. We have some of the best facilities in Europe, and this is a footprint for us to expand our offerings to the North American market."
With mobility as a key area of expertise, Altran is poised to provide a diverse portfolio of services to its clients from its World Class Center in Wixom.
"We are working to focus on a combination of local delivery with Austrian expertise and Indian engineering capability to provide cost effective, highly skilled solutions in the area of passive safety to clients in the Detroit area, and across the U.S. in general," Raju says.
"Our strategy is to enter with a high level of expertise, drive cost efficiency, and engage for the long term."

Google Penguin Update
On April 24th 2012, Google applied an update to their search engine rankings, code named "Penguin". Using what are known as algorithms, Google's many complex mathematical models determine the ranking of webpages within their search results. A highly kept secret, Google does not publicly disclose which factors can help a website, and those which can lower it's rankings. While many general suggestions have been made by Matt Cutts (leader of Google's webspam team) to improve a sites rank in the past, this is the first major update targeting at lowering ranking for sites determined to be in violation of various Terms and Conditions.
The following are some of the negative SEO tactics outlined in the Penguin update, along with a few of my own comments:
- Malware/Viruses/etc. – Probably the most obvious penalty, this shouldn't require much explanation. Scan your site at least once a week in Google's Webmaster Tools to ensure your site isn't host to any known (or unknown) viruses.
- Cloaking links and redirects – Commonly used as blackhat SEO tactics, it is fairly obvious (and reasonable) that Google is now penalizing link redirects. It is important to note that this does not include shortened hyperlinks or renamed link pointers, commonly used here at 2WNP.
- Irrelevant keyword "stuffing" – Placing hyperlinks or other keywords randomly into auto-generated content to trick the search engines into ranking a site higher. Again, it doesn't quite take a rocket scientist to realize that this is another valid penalty for sites that engage in such activity.
- Hidden text and hidden links – While link building is one of the most important aspects of ranking well in Google, hiding links from users (any robots crawling your pages can still see the text) is a clearly a blackhat SEO tactic. Another real shocker here!
- Duplicate content penalties – This is where we start to get into a bit of a gray area. While stealing content is a "no-brainer", WordPress (one of the most common blog platforms) is built around redundancy. While you may not intentionally realize you have duplicate content on your site, Google is now going to penalize you anyway. Not too fair for small business owners who can't afford the expensive SEO firms if you ask me.
- "Doorway Pages" – Google classifies doorway pages as pages that are created for the sole purpose of funneling traffic to another location. While on the surface this may seem fine and dandy, for most blog networks, what pages aren't funnel pages for your main site? Nearly every page on the 2WNP contains a link to another page (and the homepage via the navigation bar). While I don't see Google penalizing for this type of site layout yet, this is a very slippery slope. Careful here, Google…
Have I been affected?
First and foremost, you need to decide if you have been hit by the Penguin update. I've copied a screenshot from one of my smaller niche sites that has been hit by Penguin, and using Google Analytics, it's fairly obvious to see the traffic drop after the new algorithm change. While this is just a small niche site that I had been using to build expertise for another brick and mortar business, similar effects have been found on much larger sites across the web that were engaging in unnatural link building techniques.
So, how do I recover?
Google has suggested a variety of methods to recover from the Penguin update. The most obvious answer here is to sort through your site for any content that could be considered in violation of the terms and conditions found in the bullets above. As we often become blinded by content we see day in and day out (quick, what color is your steering wheel?), it's not a bad idea to have a friend or other colleague review your material for any violations of these terms. If you do find issues, you'll need to correct these before filing a reconsideration request to Google. Note – DO NOT file a reconsideration request without making significant changes to your site, this can and will hurt you if you do not properly adjust your site.
I've sent in a reconsideration request, now what?
Now, you wait. In follow-up to the site listed above, it was later determined that the small niche site in question had been hacked through a WordPress backdoor (more on WordPress security updates in future posts) and another user had uploaded thousands of spam websites that were invisible to human visitors, but were flagged by Google as doorway pages. After removal of the spam pages and updates to the security of the site, I filed a request to the Google webspam team. The following is the response I received several days later:
So where does my site rank now? Nowhere. While the sub-pages are now showing on the first page of Google (previously ranked #1 for my targeted keyword), the main landing page is nowhere to be found. It's been shown time and time again by various website owners that manual actions can take 30-90 days to recover, so time will tell if the site ever ranks again.
What can we learn from all of this?
I firmly believe, without a shadow of a doubt, that "you get what you pay for". I have found this saying to be true time and time again in my
offline real life, and such tactics will continue to apply for any online business. While I recognize that nearly everyone wants to rank instantly for their targeted keywords, sites that wish to stand the test of time, and the test of unknown Google algorithm updates, need to become authority websites. May people can (and do) earn a substantial living from Google AdSense and various affiliate programs, but putting all of your eggs in one basket is a surefire way to failure and disappointment down the road.
Now that I've shared my story, I want to hear yours. Has the Google Penguin update affected your sites? What steps have you taken to correct the errors?

Dr. William W. Hay is a well-known marine scientist. He is Professor of Geological Sciences at the University of Colorado, Boulder, Colorado, USA. He was formerly the Dean of the Rosenstiel School of Marine and Atmospheric Science at the University of Miami, Miami, Florida, USA. After a discussion with Professor Hay about the Quran's mention of recently discovered facts on seas, he said:
"I find it very interesting that this sort of information is in the ancient scriptures of the Holy Quran, and I have no way of knowing where they would come from, but I think it is extremely interesting that they are there and that this work is going on to discover it, the meaning of some of the passages." And when he was asked about the source of the Quran, he replied: "Well, I would think it must be the divine being."

Due to the high influx of immigrants, Frankfurt is home to a mixture of people from more than 180 nationalities. Being a multicultural society has added greatly to the already rich German culture depicted in the monuments and museums. The population of nearly 2.3 million is comprised of people of all backgrounds and professions, including wealthy businessmen, college students, traders from countries as diverse as Turkey, U.S.A, Bosnia, Spain, France, Japan and India.
With the increased transportation facilities, 35% of the people in the city are immigrants and 25% of the people living in Frankfurt don't have German passports. These aspects also have downside. In the last decade, Frankfurt has experienced a rise in its crime rates especially with regard to smuggling and pick pocketing. Nevertheless, Frankfurt is an amazing place to be with some of the most hospitable, friendly and courteous people in the world, who aim at building strong relationships.

I usually don't promote businesses however, I had an exceptional experience with a company on EBay. The store is called Creating Everlasting Memories. To start she had an awesome sale a couple of weeks ago and I purchased 2 multiple die sets and a 4"x4" heart doily die. The prices were excellent, she combines shipping, communication superior and the shipping was fast. And here's where the exceptional part comes in. When I received my order one of the die sets was incorrect. Simple error, not intentional on their part so I contacted Teresa and she replied quickly and told me to keep the die set that I didn't order and she would send the correct die set out with the next mailing! So I asked if she was sure because it's a 14 die set that averages $25! Here is her response:
We are sure. It was our error, and there is no reason for us to inconvenience you any further than we already have.
We thank you for your grace in this matter
Teresa :)
Well I thanked her and told her I would spread the word of my positive experience, which I am doing now :) So if you are looking for dies, Magnolia (Tilda) rubber stamps, Graphic 45, My Mind's Eye, Prima Marketing Products, etc. then check out Creating Everlasting Memories.
So here is my card using one of the sets from QuicKutz - Rectangle Doily which has 4 dies.

As if awakening from a deep sleep, you find yourself in a strange, contradictory world of ancient ruins and advanced technology. Tasked by your creator with solving a series of increasingly complex puzzles, you must decide whether to have faith, or to ask the difficult questions: Who are you? What is your purpose And what are you going to do about it?
The Talos Principle: Road to Gehenna follows the narrative of Uriel, Elohim's messenger, as he explores a strange, hidden part of the simulation on a mission of mercy and redemption in an attempt to free the souls of the damned at all costs.

Breaking News
San Diego Chargers running back Ryan Mathews was NOT arrested for a bar brawl … our sources has learned.
There are multiple reports on the Internet that Matthews knocked out a guy Sunday during a bar brawl in San Diego"s Gaslamp district — but San Diego PD spokesman Edward Zwibell tells us Ryan was not taken into custody, and is not a suspect in the fight.
Zwibell confirms officers did respond for the fight … and they did make one arrest, but Mathews had nothing to do with it.
In fact, he says officers never even saw Mathews … though he was aware of rumors that he was in the bar.

Not surprisingly it is a question we are often asked. In a competitive situation where a potential client is trying to decide between submissions from rival consultancies, how can you decide which one offers the best value for money?
Let me answer the first question first. At DRPR, we charge a monthly professional fee (not a retainer), which is calculated in accordance with the potential level of involvement.
In other words we are pre-selling our hours which are calculated with the aid of a template based on extensive experience of handling similar situations in the past. We work on the principle that when the client opens the envelope and takes out the invoice, there are no surprises as everything has been agreed to in advance. The client can budget and we know what our obligation is towards the client. I have worked under other charging systems in the past, such as hours worked and retainer plus hours. The problem with this system is that everyone becomes preoccupied with how long it took to do the job and not the outcome.
