ChineeWinds: 8 flutes in one VSTi
Chinee Winds contains various types of DiZi and Xiao, and
is the most polished instrument of the Chinee Series that
won Kong Audio the attention of the composers around the
Ancient Chinese Instrument Enters the Modern VSTi Realm
Dizi (bamboo flute) has always been a traditional and
popular instrument in China for many centuries. As an
essential Chinese instrument, it is still widely used
nowadays. It can be heard everywhere ranging from modern
Chinese film scores, to modern Chinese pop music
There are many different types of Dizi, and now, with
ChineeWinds, musicians all over the world have access to
the most authentic Chinese flavor directly from their favorite
Instant Exotic Flavor for Your Composition
Modern musicians have always been searching for the next
NEW sound to spice up the next big hit. Kong Audio's
ChineeWinds IS the answer to the search.
ChineeWinds contains 8 different flutes:
two common
Tenor Dizi(QuDi), two Treble Dizi(BangDi), two Bass
Dizi, one ChaoZhou Dizi, and one DongXiao.
ChineeWinds is Multi-sampled, plus many expressive
articulations and phrases at your disposal.
Unparalleled Sampling Quality
All samples are recorded professionally in 24bit 96khz. Lots of hard
work has been put into the making of ChineeWinds, as you can hear
from the demo songs below.
Live Performance with Ease
With the KeySwitch feature, along with the ability to trigger various
articulations and expressions with Aftertouch and Modwheel,
musicians now can achieve a lively performance with ease.
: the Melancholic Sound from China
Nanxiao (Southern Xiao) is a bamboo flute of the Xiao family. Unlike
Dizi, Xiao has no membrane. Nanxiao is mostly popular in the Fujian
area of southern China. Like the Japanese Shakuhachi, NanXiao is
the offspring of ChiBa and DongXiao from the Tang Dynasty (618 -
Contrary to the upbeat, happy-trigger sound of Dizi, NanXiao has a
more solid yet soothing tone that blends into modern music easily. For
any composer who needs something different yet not really digging
ethnic music, NanXiao is a welcome addition to the sound palette.
The sound character of Xiao is of something more saddened,
battered, and is filled with a melancholic mood. It represents a lesser-
known spirit in Chinese music, and that is why we bring out
ChineeNanXiao as a featured product. The role of NanXiao will no
doubt be elevated in the music world once it is properly introduced to
the composers in the whole world.
*ChineeWinds contains a Xiao, but far less detailed than NanXiao.
System requirements and specs:
320 MB(ChineeWinds), 175 MB(ChineeNanXiao) meticulously produced sample sets.
Powered by brand-new QIN RV engine.

One of the neat things about living in the Portland area is that, no matter where you're coming from, you're always within a very short drive of a forest. This particular forest is a part of George Rogers Park in Lake Oswego, a little patch of public park between Oswego Lake and the Willamette River. If you live locally, it's definitely worth a visit: not only does it have forest and open green spaces, but waterfront access to the lake and a creek running through it. It was not only a beautiful place to hold an engagement session, but I look forward to going back to enjoy it with my kayak and my family!

Matt. 16:18
Jesus built His church. Note that Jesus only built one church of
which He is the Head (cf. Col. 1:18; 3:15; Eph. 1:22-23; 4:4; 5:23;
1 Cor. 12:13).
Acts 2:1-47
Christ's church was established, after Jesus' ascension into heaven,
on the Day of Pentecost (Acts 1:4-11).
Rom. 16:16; 2 Cor. 8:1; Gal. 1:2
Christ's church is composed of many congregations.
Acts 2:38-47
Christ's church is composed of people who have repented and been
baptized for the remission of their sins. The Lord adds those who
are being saved to the church (cf. 1 Cor. 12:13).
Gal. 1:22; 1 Th. 2:14
Local churches are in Christ.
A local church is composed of people who are in Christ.
A person who has repented and been baptized for the remission of
sins has been added to the church (Acts 2:38-47). He is in Christ
(Gal. 6:3; Gal. 3:27). He has been baptized into the body (1 Cor.
12:13). Therefore, local churches are in Christ (Gal. 1:22; 1 Th.
Eph. 5:23
Christ is the Savior of the body (i.e., the church). He purchased
it with His own blood (Acts 20:28; cf. Eph. 5:25).
All spiritual blessings are in Christ (Eph. 1:3). Jesus is Head
over all things to the church, which is His body, the fullness of
Him who fills all in all (Eph. 1:21-23).
The church is subject to Christ (Eph. 5:24).
Christ's body in the church (Eph. 1:22-23; Col. 1:18). There is
one body (Eph. 4:4); therefore, there is one church of Christ (cf.
Rom. 16:16).
1 Cor. 12:13
We are baptized into the body (cf. Rom. 6:3; Gal. 3:27 we are baptized
into Christ thus into His body which is the church).
1 Tim. 3:15
The church is the house of God, the church of the living God, the
pillar and ground of the truth.
Eph. 2:19-22
The church is the household of God; the saints are built on the
foundation of the apostles, prophets, and Jesus Christ. It grows
into a holy temple in the Lord. It is built together for a habitation
of God in the Spirit.
The church is not mortar and stone but the saints (Eph. 2:19).

Bikey delays ACN depature
Burnley have received a boost after Andre Bikey stated he would delay his departure to the African Cup of Nations.
Last Updated: 24/11/09 5:13pm
Burnley have received a boost after Andre Bikey stated he would delay his departure to the African Cup of Nations.
Bikey has made a big impact at Burnley this season, following his summer move from Reading.
And now Cameroon star Bikey has told manager Owen Coyle that he will miss a pre-tournament training camp - meaning he will stay with the Clarets until early January.
"The Cameroon manager (Paul Le Guen) is going to give us the maximum time to be at the club," said Bikey.
"The African Cup starts on the 10th (of January) but I think we are going to get dispensation for four or five days.
"The English League doesn't stop so I don't have to be with the team for two weeks before.
"I am going to be with Burnley for the most time possible."
The central defender has been pressed into midfield by Owen Coyle and has impressed in his new role.
"When I came to Burnley I didn't expect to be in midfield but I am enjoying it and I try to play as the manager wants," he said.
"The most important thing is to get results and get a permanent place in this league. I think we have a team to do that.
"But you can't just be an optimist, you have to play to get the result and the points we want to secure our place in the Premier League."

Hospital Gown vs "Pretty Pusher"

So, my first labour and delivery was at home in a birthing tub. Therefore I was naked for the majority of the time. This time, however, we're going to have a hospital birth (living back at home, and my dad said NO WAY to a home birth).
I keep hearing about how awful hospital gowns are. Uncomfortable, ugly, shows your backside, etc. Honestly, it never even occurred to me to wear anything other than the hospital gown. I was looking into maternity clothes online today since I'm getting to that point where I need them, and I ended up looking at a product on Amazon called Pretty Pushers. At first I thought, "Really? How vain do you have to be to care what you look like when you're giving birth?" I was thinking it was just a silly novelty item. Then I started reading the reviews, and it seems like most everyone who has bought one absolutely loved them. Apparently they're quite comfortable - and they ARE pretty cute - and they have openings and ties in all the right places for monitoring and whatnot.
So ladies, what's your opinion? Have any of you worn something other than the standard hospital gown during your previous deliveries? Is it worth shilling out $20 for? Or is it one of those things that is a good idea in theory but I won't give a crap about once I'm in labour?

Sometimes you just need to put on a red dress and go dance in a park. This past weekend I went to Melbourne with my husband, mother-in-law and some friends to join in The Most Wuthering Heights Day Ever. This annual celebration of Kate Bush's iconic red dress dance to her song Wuthering Heights began in the UK in 2013. Now it's global.
We joined about 2000 Kates of different shapes, sizes, ages and genders to dance to Wuthering Heights. It was a fun day where the absurd felt part of the everyday and we participated in a joyful event that left us with an all-over warm glow. As a man unaccustomed to wearing a dress and having really long hair, there were some things I learnt.
You quickly get over caring what other people think
Admittedly we were in Melbourne, one of Australia's more accepting and progressive cities, but walking down the street in a red dress, red stockings and a long brown wig takes a bit of getting used to. It was made easier from the fact I was in a group of four – though I was at first terrified I was going to be left behind, due to the fact my knee is still healing and I'm slower than everyone else. But either way, after a few looks, none that I felt were particularly hostile, the extraordinary quickly became ordinary. I only remembered I was wearing the outfit when someone asked what it was for.
Be prepared for questions from strangers
Perhaps because we were so obviously in costume – four people dressed the same with occasionally other similarly dressed people around – non-Kates felt comfortable asking questions. This was fine, and preferable to just blank stares as they tried to figure out what the hell was going on. We were happy to oblige with answers and directed people to the event taking place later in the day. One shop we stopped in (to buy a red shopping trolley of all things) we struck up a conversation with the staff about what we were doing. It did make me wonder whether they'd be quite so jovial if a transvestite were in front of them who was just trying to get on with their day. I hope so.
The Mac store in Myer is a great place to get a bit of free makeup
Shockingly we didn't bring any red lipstick or green eyeshadow with us. Our friend suggested we go to the make-up counter in one of the department stores for a bit of a make-over. This was a brilliant idea as Jake from the Mac counter offered us the tester lipstick – suitably disinfected – and then proceeded to do our eyes. So friendly (and very cute). We bought lipstick too so we could touch it up later.
No idea is too crazy to bring a whole lot of people together
For such a simple idea, it really took hold. From 5000 people who RSVPd to the Melbourne event alone, about 2000 came along. I'm sure the organisers never had any idea that it would be so popular. What was probably meant to be a simple gathering quickly became something that needed permits, sound systems, registration tables, food trucks and a bigger venue. I've been to concerts with fewer people and much less organised. Kudos to them for putting on such a great event.
There's nothing like the feeling of community
Yes, the feeling of joy as you (attempt to) dance to a song in unison with others is a great high, especially for such an awesome song, but seeing 2000 people dressed alike for one common goal makes you feel a part of something. Yes, it would be nice if we could harness this for clean up days, for marches for human rights and for any other worthy cause, but sometimes spreading a bit of joy is worthwhile in and of itself. And on the plus side, to assuage a bit of that guilt for doing something so bizarre and – to some – inane, money raised went to Safe Steps Victoria.
You don't need to be a great dancer to participate
As I said I'm still recovering from a fractured patella. My leg is stiff and I can't bend it properly. This grated on me because I wanted to participate fully, with twirling and flinging and crouching, but it was not to be. Nevertheless, I did my best. I'm sure half my moves were wrong – and would have been even with a fully functioning leg – but really, who cares. I wasn't at the front. The cameras – other than my husband's phone – weren't on me and I still had a good time. Just having a go, just being there, was so much fun. I looked around at people in normal clothes who were spectating, and was glad I had done this. Seeing one plain-clothed guy join in was further proof that what we were doing was infectious and something worthwhile.
So that's a few of things I learnt while donning a red dress and dancing to Wuthering Heights with 2000 people. We joined in a couple of practise runs, ate a picnic lunch, then had an official practice followed by two proper run throughs (for the official video) and then that was it. All over so fast, but so worth it.
If you ever get the opportunity to do it, or something similar, do yourself a favour and throw your self-consciousness right out the window. You'll never know how good it feels until you do it, and there's nothing worse than regret. Besides, what's the worst that could happen?

This weekend was the 2nd annual Cherry City Comic Con. I didn't attend last year's con due to poor planning on my part.
But this year, I was determined to go. The convention reins have been taken up by new organizers and as far as I could see, the event prospered for it.
I was only able to spend a couple hours there, but I can't tell you how DELIGHTED I was to have a comic convention right here in my home town! It was terrific to see people of all ages in costume, wearing favorite fandom shirts and accessories (I was wearing Supernatural, natch), strolling past the booths, and posing for photos.
I was expecting a very small turn out simply because it's such a new convention, but was pleasantly surprised by the number of booths, artists, guests, attendees, and events.
My favorite sights of the day had to be: a little boy grinning from ear to ear, clutching his newly purchased crocheted baby Groot in a terracotta pot, and a little girl jumping down the sidewalk with her new wooden Wonder Woman shield in hand. Oh, and the tiny Hulk and little Joker and Harley in the children's costume contest were pretty darn adorable.
All this geeky goodness fit in one exhibition hall at our State Fair grounds. What a terrific start to an event that I hope will grow and grow.
(Please excuse the blurry pics. I took a couple quick snaps, but then was busy just enjoying the convention to remember to get any good posed photos.)

Potted perennials can become the bright spot in your garden, and home, as soon as the weather begins to change and the growing season winds down. Low maintenance plants like these are often easy to overlook once the weather begins to change, but preparing potted perennials for winter is especially important. A lot of the difference in the type of care and preparation that is needed depends on how far north you live, but in general, extra protection is always needed.
Before the first frost hits your area, you should begin preparing your potted plants so that they will survive the long winter months so that they continue to grow and bloom the following season.
Preparing Potted Perennials for Winter
Allow For Dormancy
Perennial plants all require a period of dormancy, in which they are allowed to store energy for the next season and discontinue stem, leaf and floral growth. In order to encourage this period, make sure that you regularly water right up until the first frost, and then cut those waterings back to push dormancy to begin.
Wrapping Perennial Plants Remaining Outdoors
In milder climate areas, where winter is not long and harsh, you can wrap your perennial plants in the pots they are in. Wrapping provides the protection that they need, keeping roots warm, but still allowing them to go dormant. Plants must be cut back, making them both easy to manage, but also forcing them into their dormant stage.
Pots can remain outdoors, or in an outdoor shelter. Either way, add mulch to the top of the soil and then wrap the pots completely with burlap. Cover each pot with two to three layers of burlap before wrapping bubble wrap over the burlap. Finally, an additional layer of burlap should be used over the entire plant. Move pots to a sheltered corner of the yard if you do not place them in an outdoor shelter.
Planting Potted Perennials
Transferring your potted perennials to the garden is a great idea if you do not have room to pull pots into your home but know that the perennials will not be able to survive the winter in the pot. Perennials winter in the ground on a normal basis, where the soil is able to protect them from the cold. Entire pots can be planted straight into the soil, or perennials can be removed from the pots and then planted into the garden bed individually. The entire root system must be covered with soil entirely and protected with a layer of mulch. When spring returns, root balls can be returned to pots where they can continue to grow without delay.
Storing Potted Perennials Indoors
One of the most popular ways to prepare potted perennials for winter is to bring them indoors where they can be allowed to go dormant. Plants should be cut back to just above the soil line and wrapped as already described. To promote dormancy in the slightly warmer temperatures, store pots in a dark corner of your home where they will be forced to begin their winter sleep.

Waves of protest on Windermere
WATER-SKIERS are threatening to torpedo the new 10mph speeding limit on Windermere with a new upsurge of protests.
A team of skiers raced at more than 30mph along the whole length of the lake at one minute after midnight yesterday as the speeding ban came into force.
And they say a full programme of protest events and lobbying is planned for the coming months in a bid to get the ban overturned.
Businesses which rely on the skiers for their trade have had five years to adapt since the ban was announced by the Government in 2000, but many say this simply hasn't been possible.
Lake District National Park Authority corporate operations director Bob Cartwright said he was disappointed but not entirely surprised.
"It's a shame to see that kind of thing but it's not a shock because the opposition have been very, very vocal over the years.
"A group of people have tried to fight the ban rather than adapt to it which was the whole reason for the moratorium."There's clearly a small number of people who are in opposition but the vast majority have adapted and are positive about the future.
"Millions of pounds have been invested in new businesses for the new Windermere. I'm confident this kind of protest will die away."
Mr Cartwright explained because of the ferocity of protest many of its supporters were keeping their heads well down.
But lakeside traders were presenting a very different picture and were unanimously critical of the National Park's attitude.
Shepherds' Boatyard has been selling and repairing boats on the lake since the beginning of the last century.
Managing director Tony Rothwell said that his staff had dropped from 30 to 25 because of the speed limit and he said one person had been made redundant in the last few days.
"It's terribly sad for us and for the lake users," he said.
"The Lake District National Park Authority doesn't give a damn. They have been terrible to deal with - they've just not spoken to us at any stage.''
The Lake District National Park Authority claims that only one per cent of the 12 to 13 million people who enjoy the lake use speed boats and jet-skis.
And they hope that by effectively banning them they will open up the lake to many more people.
But director of Lowe Wood Ski Centre, Tim Berry, said his figures look very different. "We teach 180,000 people a year to ski here and that's going to be totally wrecked," he said. "They should look at the Park as a whole and find a managed solution."
The laws will be enforced by a team of water-borne wardens and rangers working for the National Park Authority in partnership with the police.The boats will be equipped with laser guns and video recorders to collect evidence of offenders who will be taken to court.
General manager of Windermere Aquatics, Andrew Corney, 48, said they had seen 30 of their 150 stored boats be taken away at the weekend.
He said: "Some of the older customers will stay on because they like to potter down the lake and stop for a meal or something, but the vast majority won't keep their boats here because they can't use them properly.
The Oasis Food Shack on the public slipway at the Windermere Marina Village has already shed staff.
Stockport- based blind water-skiing champion, Gerald Price, was at the lakeside yesterday.
He revealed he had accompanied a delegation to Parliament last week to discuss the changes.
"I'm confident we'll get this changed, we've had an early day motion tabled and we've got the best human rights lawyers in the country looking at the case.
"It seems the National Park people want to turn this place into a mausoleum. They need to remember what a national park is actually for."
What do you think of the speed limit? Have your say.

By Andrei Skvarsky.
Deutsche Boerse's intelligence arm, citing monthly surveys, says Russia's business community sank back into pessimism in January after a rise in optimism in December.
MNI Indicators, a company owned by the Frankfurt-based bourse, said in a statement a measurement system used by it showed overall business sentiment in Russia to have been down 16.1% year-on-year in January as low oil prices and a consequent depreciation of the rouble kept bedevilling the country
It was still above the lowest point recorded in the history of MNI Russia Business Sentiment surveys, monthly polls of Russian business executives launched by MNI Indicators in March 2013.
December's poll produced roughly as many optimistic as pessimistic returns. In January, however, pessimists significantly outnumbered the optimists.
The weakening of the rouble was causing companies more pain in January than ever before in the surveys' history, loans were much more difficult to obtain than the month before, and respondents had gloomy three-month expectations for their company's business and for overall business conditions in Russia, MNI Indicators said.
On a slightly happier note, there appeared to be an improvement in the job market, there being roughly as many positive as negative assessments of the employment situation, according to the London-headquartered intelligence firm.
"The latest survey showed business sentiment falling sharply as concerns over the weakness of the Russian rouble mounted and credit channels tightened further," said MNI Indicators chief economist Philip Uglow.
"It's no secret that Russia's fortunes are tied to the oil price and it's difficult to see things improving unless we see a recovery in prices and stabilisation in the currency."
MNI Russia Business Sentiment polls are computer-aided telephone interviews with executives in manufacturing, service, construction and agricultural companies listed on Moscow Exchange. A total of around 200 firms are surveyed in this way each month.

"Even-handed blaxploitation, mixes brawn and emotions to good effect"
After a couple of less-than-perfect entries in the 'robbery girls' subgenre, this came as a refreshing blast, with decent characterisation and a storyline that goes past the painfully obvious. Mind you, the moral remains the same – crime doesn't pay – but at least the road taken to get there is interesting and complex. These women all have their own reasons for wanting to rob banks: getting back at society for perceived injustice, supporting a child, or simply for kicks. Interestingly, you can see both their point of view and society's, the latter most clearly in a surprisingly sympathetic cop, Strode (John C. McGinley). The results are more a product of tragic circumstance than anything else.
We've seen elsewhere this can easily slip into cliche; for the most part it doesn't, despite a lack of character development. Only Stony (Pinkett) and her relationship with a bank executive really counts – and if you can't see where that's going, you're not paying attention. Still, there's plenty to admire, not least a delightful homage to The Godfather. One way or another, we care about everyone, from extremely out lesbian Cleo (Latifah) to the brains of the gang, Frankie (Fox). The action isn't ignored either, most notably the whirlwind event that is their first robbery; at the end, I discoved I'd been holding my breath. Despite dialogue which sounds occasionally as if it was in a foreign language, this definitely goes beyond a black audience.

Mercedes-Benz Australia is "seriously considering" introducing an AMG version of the GL-Class SUV.
Based on the second-generation GL-Class which arrives in April, the GL63 joins the recently introduced ML63 and utilitarian G63 as part of AMG's growing SUV family.
The GL63 is powered by the same 5.5-litre twin-turbo petrol V8 as its siblings, albeit retuned to develop 410kW and 760Nm of torque - up from 386kW and 700Nm - for a 0-100km/h sprint time of just 4.9 seconds.
Mercedes-Benz Australia manager of corporate communications Jerry Stamoulis is confident the GL63 will arrive in local showrooms given the popularity of the smaller, $177,900 ML63 AMG, which traditionally accounts for about 5 per cent of M-Class sales. Pricing is likely to exceed $200,000, rivalling the Range Rover Vogue.
"[The GL63] is a unique proposition for that segment. There won't be many seven-seat, 410kW-powered SUVs," Stamoulis says.
The vehicle's Australian introduction will be confirmed before September.
"It's one of those vehicles that a handful of our customers will want to upgrade to, but it might also attract customers from different brands."
Australia is a strong market for AMG, ranking fifth in the world for sales of performance vehicles.
Mercedes-AMG chairman Ola Källenius says the GL63 completes the company's performance-oriented all-wheel-drive offering.
"Combining the first-rate comfort of the S-Class with the performance of an AMG sports saloon, the GL63 AMG is unique in its segment," he says.
Mated to a seven-speed automatic transmission and permanent all-wheel drive, the GL63 officially uses 12.3 litres per 100 kilometres on the European cycle and emits 288 grams of CO2 per km, making it about 10 per cent more efficient than the lesser-powered GL500.
Fuel-saving features include stop-start, electric steering and demand-responsive control of all ancillary units.
Dynamic aids come from air-controlled sports suspension, adaptive dampers, automatic levelling control and active roll stabilisation to reduce bodyroll through corners. It also benefits from larger sports brakes and rides on 21-inch alloy wheels.
The GL63 is visually distinguished by signature AMG touches including flared wheel arches, a larger front apron and revised lower air intakes for improved cooling, twin chrome tailpipes, and LED daytime-running lights.
Inside it gets leather-trimmed sports seats and artificial leather inserts across the dash, door panels and armrests, a flat-bottomed steering wheel and a revised AMG instrument cluster.
Standard equipment highlights include Mercedes' pre-collision anticipation system, bi-xenon headlights, automatic tailgate, sunroof, keyless start, seat massagers, three-zone climate-control and "crosswind assist" to aid stability at high speeds.
Mercedes is still finalising the line-up of regular GL-Class range, which will include at least one diesel variant.'
The most likely contender is the entry-level GL350 BlueTec, which accounts for 80 per cent of GL sales. The slower-selling diesel V8-powered GL450 remains an uncertainty at this stage.
Priced from $131,490 (plus on-road and dealer costs), the GL350 BlueTec is powered by a 3.0-litre twin-turbocharged V6 that develops 195kW of power and 620Nm of torque. Despite the current model's 2500-kilogram-plus kerb weight, it officially uses 9.2L/100km and emits 242g/km of CO2.
The other likely offering is the petrol-powered GL500, to cater for the 10 per cent of "traditional '500' customers" and slot in the middle of the range. It is powered by a 300kW/600Nm 4.6-litre twin-turbo V8 already found in the ML500, S500 limousine and its CL500 coupe sibling.

There is a right way businesses can honor the fallen on anniversaries of September 11th, 2001. Every businessperson in their right mind who wanted to honor the fallen would try to be as sensitive as possible without being totally removed from honoring the anniversary. They'd want to convey a sense of patriotism — but at the same time wouldn't want to be seen as monetizing the worst terrorist attack on U.S. soil. Running some sort of "9/11 special" would be in bad taste, so aside from offering to sponsor some event honoring the fallen or offering discounts to firefighters and police, there isn't much you can do.
There are countless examples of 9/11-based advertising gone awry. Walmart was among one of the big-name brands that had an advertising faux pas this year when they had a soda display in the shape of the twin towers to "honor" the anniversary, but there are countless past examples of other well known corporations doing the same.
Companies like Walmart at least have the resources to go into damage control mode — and are large enough where a distasteful display can be blamed on a particular store but not the corporation as a whole. The same can't be said for one Texas-based mattress store that gave us a lesson in how to destroy your business in one advertisement.
Via IJReview:
Last week, a Texas mattress store drew national attention after it posted an ad mocking the 9/11 terror attacks with a "Twin Tower sale."
Though the ad — which, as FOX 8 reports, depicted employees knocking down two stacks of twin mattresses — was quickly removed, the San Antonio-based Miracle Mattress became the target of nationwide outrage.
Soon afterwards, the store's owner Mike Bonanno posted a letter apologizing for the "tasteless" ad, but even that earned little forgiveness from the American public — many of whom wanted nothing less than to see the outlet close its doors as soon as possible.
It seems that it was a message that Miracle Mattress heard loud and clear.
On Friday, the owner posted another letter to Facebook stating that, "effective immediately," Miracle Mattress would be closing its doors:

Benoni (South Africa), Dec 13: Fast bowler Shannon Gabriel did not make much of an impression in the West Indies' three-day game against a South Africa Invitational XI which ended in a draw but said he is aiming to be more consistent on the tour.
He sent down just five overs for 14 runs during the local side's innings which was destroyed by left-arm seamer Sheldon Cottrell who picked up a five-wicket haul Friday, reports CMC.
With the opening Test bowling off next week, Gabriel said he was just looking to continue to improve on the tour.
"I'm just gaining experience as I go along. One thing I am trying to be is more consistent in my bowling in terms of line and length," he said.
"Everything is good, I think I am headed in the right direction. I know once I do the basics and keep working hard wickets will come my way and success will come my way."
The 26-year-old has played nine Tests since making his debut on the 2012 tour of England, and has claimed 22 wickets.
However, he has not managed to tie down a spot in the regional side, and faces more competition on the current tour with the likes of Cottrell, Kemar Roach, Jerome Taylor and Jason Holder in the squad.
The Trinidadian, who bowls with a fair turn of pace, said the most important thing was getting the fast bowling unit to perform together.
"We have a good crop of fast bowlers here. Jerome Taylor and Kemar Roach have had good success at the international level so it's just about learning from them," he said.
"And we're helping each other as a bowling group so hopefully we can go out and put our best foot forward."
He is being overseen on tour by legendary former Windies pacer Sir Curtly Ambrose who is part of the management team, and said Sir Curtly's advice had been valuable so far.
"It's good to have him around. It's a wealth of experience he brings to the team so I just sit down with him and pick his mind sometimes, find out how what he did that was successful so I can take that into my game."
The West Indies face South Africa in the first Test in Centurion starting next Wednesday.

OPEC Raises Quota Ceiling to 27.2 Million b/d
VIENNA Sep 11, 2007 (Dow Jones Newswires)
Moving to meet rising energy demand and ease concerns about record high oil prices, OPEC agreed Tuesday to a new production ceiling of 27.2 million barrels a day, that includes 500,000 barrels a day of fresh oil on the market, the first increase in over two years.
The decision, announced by ministers from Algeria and Qatar, effectively recognizes unofficial increases in production by OPEC members this year, bringing that back within the cartel's official quota system as it prepares to meet potential higher demand this winter.
OPEC's move essentially reverses a pair of output cuts agreed late last year that cumulatively took about 1 million barrels a day off global markets.
The decision to add fresh barrels of oil - however modest - is a surprise for oil markets which have been pushing benchmark crude futures towards record territory.
Kuwait's acting Oil Minister Mohammad Al-Olaim said the move reflected OPEC's shared concern with energy consumers over prices: "We think that the market (price) is little bit high. So we're supporting sustained economic (growth)," he said, adding it shared consumer worries about the global economy.
OPEC President Mohamed Al Hamli said the 500,000 barrels actual output increase will be spread among the OPEC-10 countries subject to quotas on the same basis as the 500,000 barrels production cut was after a meeting in Abuja, Nigeria last year.
Analysts view the decision as a recognition of rising oil demand growth in the face of a potentially chilly winter in the U.S., Europe and Asia. It's also a nod to concerns about the potential damage high oil prices could do to economic growth amid considerable fears about the fallout on U.S. consumer spending from a correction in the housing market.
Going into this meeting, most analysts expected OPEC to hold their current official production levels unchanged, as they seek to gauge the fallout on the U.S. economy from turmoil in the credit markets. OPEC ministers stressed there is ample oil in global markets, arguing that refinery bottlenecks, political risk factors and supply disruptions are responsible for pushing benchmark crude futures towards record levels near $78 a barrel.
But analysts say the cartel, particularly Saudi Arabia, is acting now to see off a price move above $80 a barrel in the fourth quarter that could potentially eat into peak energy demand.
"With prices so high, the Saudis may now be more willing to take the risk, in their eyes, of an increase in oil production," said Simon Wardell, an analyst at Global Insight in London. He said the U.S. subprime mortgage crisis may have crystallized the issue for Saudi Arabia.
Saudi Arabia's powerful oil minister Ali Naimi didn't comment publicly at this meeting.
OPEC Secretary General Abdalla Salem el-Badri said: "Our message to the consumer is that we care and we are concerned and that is why we increased production."
Algeria's Oil Minister Chakib Khelil said it was too early to gauge demand in the deep winter, and that the group's December meeting in Abu Dhabi "is too far away".
He added that the move still left OPEC with "plenty of (spare) capacity of 1.5 million barrels a day."
The OPEC decision came as oil prices flirted with record levels north of $78 a barrel and the market's initial reaction suggests the modest amount of extra oil - equivalent from about 2% from current actual production - may struggle to deflate some of the bullish market momentum.
Benchmark crude oil futures in New York were unchanged after the OPEC decision, down six cents at $77.43 after a choppy trading session.
Brian Hicks, fund manager at U.S. Global Investors Global Resources Fund, said the increase "is not enough to change the tightness in the market going into the fourth quarter."

1. Get to know the people who run your favourite charity shops. If they know you and what you like, you can ask them to look out for stuff for you and keep it aside.
2. When looking for clothing, look at the material. Don't worry about the color and shape as much, as those can be changed (as long as you can sew and dye things, that is). Sometimes, all it takes is a few seams down the sides to completely transform the look of something. Other times, a piece might require a total overhaul, so you have to use your judgement as to whether you are up for the refashion.
3. For clothing, look at fabrics instead of sizes or genders.
4. Go often and on bargain days.
5. Look over items carefully. Stains may not come out!
6. Don't buy it if you don't love it or have a use for it. Cheap isn't a plus if it sits around unused.
7. Make a list of things you are looking for. Pay attention to condition and check for things like rips, stains and alterations. Things like wooden and metal furniture can be cleaned up and painted. Do not forget to look for things for the other people in your life as well.
8. Always put items in your cart when you first see them. If you want it, someone else will too.
9. Go early, and never pass up the opportunity to shop at a "by-weight" thrift depot! It's amazing what you can find, and how inexpensively you can buy things just for doing a bit of digging on your own. It's worth the extra work!
10. Patience, patience, patience.
11. I'm plus size so I always start in the clothing section with the largest sizes and/or start in the men's section! I like to thrift things with as much fabric as possible to keep as many transformation possibilities as I can! You can always adjust the fit and make it smaller later!
12. Don't look at the shape or color of a garment, check out the pattern & the fabric and dye or refashion to your taste and style. Always take a look through your family or friend's cast offs, they might be full of treasures!
13. Go often – at least once a week. Location, location, location – check out the wealthy neighborhoods, and those with aging/downsizing residents. Can't decide? What a few days – it'll either be gone or reduced in price. Don't find what you're looking for in your size? Be sure to check all the other racks for mis-stocked items. Don't trust size labels. It may say XS yet be a M in modern sizing. Or vice versa. If you can't resist buying everything that fits or might be useful one day, try the "Do I love-love-LOVE it?" test.
14. To get through the racks more quickly when shopping for clothes, I find it easiest to first look for fabrics that 'speak to me', then choose among the styles of these fabrics; finally eliminate by putting back the things I know I cannot fit or have altered.
15. Patience, and if you're not sure you can wear it as-is, that it will work with other items currently in your wardrobe, or you will definitely refashion or up cycle it – let it be. Don't only buy something because it's a good deal, it also has to fit into your current life.
16. I would say to be open and be willing to look around at everything. It is nice to have a list with measurements for furniture or clothing sizes. Look at the potential not just what the item is at that moment. Have a sense of humor and have fun! My family plays a game of find the weirdest/ugliest thing when we are there and it is amazing what we find! Remember that is a treasure hunt!
17. Don't buy something that doesn't work for you thinking if I was slimmer, if I had a sewing machine, you're going to make it into something else if you've never done it before. Know yourself.
18. You have nothing to lose by looking, but if you see something you really like, get it then, don't wait. It won't be there the next time.
19. Spray paint can completely transform home decor items! I also love refashioning or tailoring a clothing item to make it perfect for me.
20. Keep an open mind, set your limit on what you'll spend, don't buy something just because it's cheap – will you ever use it if you don't like it?

We had a great time at our December 11th Christmas Cookie class here at the bakery. Decorating these fun cookies will certainly help everyone celebrate the holidays. =)
The decorating class was held in our Gainesville, Florida bakery. With the Christmas cookie theme, we focused on gingerbread men (and women), snowman, candy cane, stocking, Christmas tree, and other Holiday themed sugar cookies.
This snowman combined several of our vanilla sugar cookies into an adorable snowman; complete with carrot nose, buttons, and a scarf to keep him warm.
Class participants made cookie bouquets, complete with tin, cookies, and more. They also received a cookie recipe, sticks, and tools to help them work at home. Cookies were cut by the students and baked in class to make sure that both baking and decorating skills were learned.
We had a great time during the Christmas Cookie class and look forward to the rest of the classes coming up this year:
- Sunday December 11th — Christmas Decoration / Fondant 101
- Saturday December 17th — Fondant 101
- Sunday December 18th — Christmas Cookies, Kids Class

As a patient of Infinity Primary Care, you may have heard the term EHR quite a bit over the past year. We have made a commitment to convert from our paper records to Electronic Health Records (EHR) by the end of 2007. Many of you have read about EHR in the newspapers and there is no doubt that it will offer many clinical advantages for the doctor and the patient.
EHR Improves The Safety And Quality Of Your Care
The EHR system digitally stores patient information including lab and diagnostic testing results, and automates the processes of prescribing medications, cross-checking for drug interactions and sending prescription requests directly to pharmacies. Handwriting is no longer a factor in the patient chart or prescription order, eliminating potential medical errors due to handwriting.
One of the great benefits is that your physician can access patient data such as your medication list, allergies and medical problems that will help evaluate and treat you with increased safety from anywhere. All physicians "on-call" after hours can access this same information, thus providing excellent, all-inclusive care for our patients 24 hours a day, 7 days a week as if they are always in the office with your chart. Another benefit is the EHR will make your chart easier to read, easier to access, and easier to share with your other care providers.
Electronic Health Records & Your Care
Approximately 25% of patient records in the United States are electronic. The federal government and insurance companies are beginning to mandate all providers change to an electronic format. In the upcoming decade, it is expected that almost all records will be electronic. This will bring healthcare up-to-date with other industries that rely on accurate and timely transfer of information.
EHR Is Not Without Some Concerns
Confidentiality is an absolute cornerstone of the doctor-patient relationship. We feel very strongly that nothing should interfere with this. Infinity Primary Care physicians and staff utilize excellent security and privacy controls within the EHR to safeguard your personal information. This, in combination with staff education and appropriately strict policies, make the EHR very secure.

I think that what you said was very reasonable. However, think
 about this, what if you were to create a awesome title?
 I ain't suggesting your content isn't good., however suppose you added
 a post title that grabbed folk's attention? I mean Les trois péchés originels de la taxe carbone - Institut Turgot is a little plain. You could
 look at Yahoo's home page and note how they create news headlines to grab people to click.
 You might add a video or a related picture or two to get people excited about what you've got to say.
 Just my opinion, it could make your posts a little livelier.

Mobile technology means that most of us are no longer 'out of the office'. But without careful management, say psychologists, we're on a slippery slope to burnout.

Owning a credit card has worked to my advantage a number of times. The credit scores I earn entitled me to pay less on the items I fancy and splurge on. But the best thing I really love was that I was given the chance to have mortgage and auto loans with lower interest rates. Isn't that wonderful? What also worked to my advantage is the protection against identity theft. I worry all the time that without this protection, I feel paranoid thinking that another person is using my credit card without my knowledge. Good thing I am protected from these robbers.
I have a friend who encountered a real bad experience because of identity theft. It was so terrible for her to have been ripped off for that hefty sum of money and for her to have no choice but to make the payments without having used the money herself! She can't even file a dispute because she was not protected. That seems so unfair to me. She learned from it the hard way. After that bad incident, she acquired credit card protection and she admitted that it has been the best decision she had ever done for her finances. Knowing the ordeal and predicament she had to go through was awful.
I would never want to go through the same trouble she did. Therefore, I had to protect myself ahead of time before someone does that to me. Now, I feel more secure and protected. I would never want my credit scores jeopardized because some morons ripped me off. I always payback the money that I owe and I pay for my own spending, but I can't afford to pay for others that robbed me by using my credit card or stealing my identity. It does pay to be vigilant about these things. Some people tend to forget the importance of getting protecting for their credit and identitiy, but for me, it is something that I would never risk. Our credit rating and history has long term benefits for each of us and I deem it important for my financial freedom.

text: Celebrating DNP candidates and graduates Section Editor(s): Newland, Jamesetta PhD, RN, FNP-BC, FAANP, DNPNAP The Nurse Practitioner: April 13th, 2014 - Volume 39 - Issue 4 - p 6 doi: 10.1097/01.NPR.0000444652.17765.ad Department: Editor's Memo Author Information Article Outline Editor-in-Chief email@example.com Our DNP authors Rules to help you succeed Calling all APRNs Figure "Writing is easy. All you have to do is cross out the wrong words." –Mark Twain This month, we continue a tradition that started 4 years ago of designating a special DNP (Doctor of Nursing Practice) section in the April issue of The Nurse Practitioner. The call for 2015 manuscripts from recent DNP graduates or students begins as soon as this issue is sent to press. It is encouraging to see the number of submissions increasing every year with authors looking for an opportunity to disseminate their work to nurse practitioners (NPs) and the broader professional community. The two articles by Drs. Hopkins and Ouden are excellent examples of how NPs applied the knowledge and skills they learned during their DNP education to address an identified clinical problem in a practice setting. Both authors discuss the process of implementing a practice improvement project to improve care within a healthcare setting. Many DNP capstone projects are designed to measure small tests of change that demonstrate potential for long-term, sustained changes in practice and improved patient outcomes. Back to Top | Article Outline Our DNP authors These authors have successfully converted an academic assignment into a published article. As the familiar saying goes, "Your work is not complete until it is shared through dissemination." One medium for dissemination is publication, and some DNP programs make this a requirement for graduation. This may not be realistic for most DNP students, but as a nurse, you have a professional responsibility to share your knowledge and experience with colleagues, patients, and the public. Through writing, you can disseminate clinically meaningful information, share new perspectives and experiences, facilitate evidence-based practice to improve nursing practice and patient outcomes, stimulate further research on a topic, and communicate an agenda. In addition, you will achieve professional recognition and personal satisfaction by writing. Writing is hard work and demands dedicated time. In clinical practice, checkoff forms, menus in electronic health records, and apps on handheld devices do not help to cultivate scholarly writing skills. Accomplished writers are published more often as a result of deliberate learning and repeat efforts rather than by nature of being born with an ability to write well. Every nurse has the potential to be a successful writer. Back to Top | Article Outline Rules to help you succeed If you are interested in being published, but not sure where to begin, start by identifying a topic with which you are familiar, and select a journal with a readership that would be interested in the topic. Check whether the journal has previously published articles on the topic, and make sure there is a fit. Read the author guidelines carefully, and decide what type of manuscript you are going to prepare: a clinical or nonclinical article, a case study, original research, patient education materials, or some other type of article. Querying the journal's editor may provide additional guidance. Create a timeline, and schedule periods for writing. Writing naturally involves rewriting, so check your manuscript for spelling and grammar, style, format, and length. Next, ask several trusted individuals to review the completed manuscript and provide feedback; again, rewrite your manuscript, and then submit it. Address all comments from peer reviewers and the editor. Make revisions in a timely manner and resubmit. If your manuscript is rejected, do not be discouraged. Try again, and use the reviewers' comments to improve your writing and chances of success next time. Back to Top | Article Outline Calling all APRNs As an editor, I lead my team in developing the journal's philosophy and mission, researching the needs of the audience, planning and creating the journal content, recruiting authors, and developing manuscripts with the reader in mind. We welcome manuscripts from all advanced practice nurses and their colleagues. Congratulations to our DNP authors and their selected projects!

Wedding is a ritual where two persons are united in marriage. It involves an exchange of wedding vows by the bride and groom, gift presentation (rings, flowers, offering, money and symbolic thing) and a public announcement of marriage by a leader or priest. There are lots of things to prepare in order to have a successful and perfect wedding day. Also, there are several things to do like wedding music, invitations, colors/ themes, decorations, cake, speeches, and of course the wedding rings.
A wedding music is the one of the most essential parts of the wedding ceremony. It is very difficult to choose the best songs for different ceremonies of the wedding. There are lots of songs that you can find that will suit your wedding ceremony. It is essential to choose for some of the popular and best songs to make your wedding day memorable. These wedding songs should be prepared before the wedding day.

- You should choose wedding songs that can suit to your wedding theme, it will bring joy for every important people associated with your wedding; when the theme of your wedding is Christmas then you need to choose wedding music about Christmas celebrations and you can also include songs about love for the ceremony of your wedding.

Love becomes stronger by the use of marriage. Wedding can make them as one. Most of the girl wish to have unforgettable wedding day since it is once in a lifetime event.
