My practice is focused on surrogacy, egg donation, embryo donation and sperm donation because of my 8-year journey to have my own children after having endured more than 10 artificial insemination procedures, three surgeries, three miscarriages, and 13 IVF procedures to finally realize my dream when a surrogate carried my twins. Because of this experience, I am able to guide my clients through the emotional and financial process of having a child using assisted reproductive techniques.

Do Military Wives Make Better Surrogates?
Like the Center for Surrogate Parenting, I am careful working with military surrogates whose husbands are deployed. While these women are used to managing their children and households single-handedly, every surrogate needs a support system and if the surrogate has none while her husband is deployed, then I recommend not working with her.
I also question military surrogates on their husbands' future orders, as the spouse could get orders to move to a state that does not recognize surrogacy. For the most part, the surrogate and her husband know that they will be getting their orders months in advance, but I worked with a surrogate whose husband recently got orders to move to Japan. Thankfully, we were only in the matching stage and she had not cycled with the couple and was not pregnant. During the interview with this surrogate, she said that her husband is here to stay and he has no plans to get transfer orders. This surrogate appeared genuine so I have to believe she had no idea he was getting his orders.
Because my practice is based in San Diego, which has two military bases, my contract always has a clause requiring the surrogate to remain in their home state, which is usually California, through the delivery. As you can see this is especially critical when working with military surrogates.

I was wondering if you could tell me where the best place to find info on becoming a military Surrogate. My husband is ADNavy and I want to surrogate but I can't seem to find info from Tricare about what exactly they cover. I have called and they gave me a bit of a run down and told me to go to tricare.mil but I can't find anything. I just really need straight answers on this so we can proceed. Thank you
- Stephanie Caballero said...
That's a tough one. I don't believe the military will give you a definite answer on your health care benefits when you are a surrogate. I do know that Tricare has something called "cost sharing" which they do not enforce very often, but they can ask the Intended Parents to cover the cost of the medical benefits paid while you are a surrogate. Contact my office if you would like more information. Good luck and thanks for reading and commenting.
I am a military wife and have endured 11 years of being unable to conceive. I have had 2 surgeries and numerous artificial
inseminations. Everytime we would have to move, I would have to start over at a new fertility clinic. We were never in a location with a military hospital so everything came out of our own pocket. A military surrogate would be an answer to our prayers.
Thank you for listening.

LST-512 in Pittsburgh - October 1945 Great Lakes War Bond Drive
On October 17, 1945, the WWII Tank Landing Ship, LST-512, came to Pittsburgh and moored on the banks of the Monongahela River. A veteran of the Europe-Africa-Middle East Theater, the ship docked in Pittsburgh as part of the "Hit The Beach" demonstration unit of the Great Lakes War Bond Drive. LST-512 was loaded with exhibits and the public was welcomed aboard for a glimpse of the War in the Pacific.
The exhibits aboard LST-512 were impressive. One section included animated maps and color films of Pacific battles. Captured Japanese soldier's personal belongings and small arms, modern Marine weapons and communications equipment were among the many items presented. A second area of the ship was transformed into an authentic living jungle, complete with tropical plants. In the jungle area were enemy bunkers, American foxholes, snipers and a genuine native hut. A third section included a large moving panorama of a full-scale Pacific invasion beach.
On the main deck, visitors were allowed to examine the crew quarters and galley, along with a vast array of heavy American and Japanese guns, including artillery, tanks and trucks.
LST-512 was commissioned January 8, 1944 and saw action on the beaches of Normandy. The ship was damaged during the invasion effort and was no longer battle-worthy. It was reassigned to the homefront to be used for the coming War Bond drive. The tour of the midwestern and lakes cities was at the direction of Admiral Ernest J. King to bring the Pacific War closer to inland cities and as a gesture of appreciation to the workers at home who supported the naval forces during the war.
German POWs are loaded onto LST 512 (right) on the Normandy beach.
Along with several awards and citations earned during battle, LST-512 added one further distinction during it's Great Lakes tour. It was the first commissioned naval vessel to navigate the inland waterways since the Civil War.
After the Great Lakes Bond Drive, LST-512 was decommissioned and assigned to the Pacific Reserve Fleet. In February 1957 the ship was struck from the Naval Vessel Register. On October 11 the ship was sold to Peru, renamed BAP Paita (LT-35), and commissioned in the Peruvian Navy. The ship was deactivated and scrapped in 1983.
The WWII veteran Tank Landing Ship LST-512 moves along the Ohio River in route to Pittsburgh.

Serving Small Businesses in a Digital World
Small businesses continue to fall through the cracks at financial institutions. A fresh suite of digital banking tools is required to provide a customized and relevant banking experience.
The small business online banking space has stagnated for far too long. The evolution of the Internet has provided users with rich and interactive experiences. Unfortunately, the banking industry has not kept pace, and customers have started to demand that their banks keep up with the times. In the report Serving Small Businesses in a Digital World, Celent examines and analyzes the top trends in small business online banking. Some of these are in full swing; some are nascent; and others are expected to impact the space within the next three to five years.
Next-generation small business online banking solutions are trickling out, but are nowhere near mainstream. Bits and pieces have already landed and will evolve, as banks segment their customers and embrace a multidevice environment. For the most part, financial institutions recognize their online shortcomings. The question is: Why haven't they acted on them, what can they do about it, and how can they keep up with ever-increasing customer demands? These questions become even more difficult to answer as small businesses continue to fall through the cracks at banks, cost estimates for large consumer and business banking projects balloon, and nonbanks release innovative tools and solutions that attempt to solve business challenges.
"The small business digital banking space is fraught with confusion," says Jacob Jegher, Senior Analyst with Celent's Banking Group and author of the report. "Banks are still struggling to understand if their customers should be placed onto consumer online solutions, dedicated small business solutions, or even corporate cash management offerings. Small businesses require tailored service and an experience that takes into account their banking needs and comfort levels."
The 27-page report contains 10 figures and three tables.
Celent is a research and advisory firm dedicated to helping financial institutions formulate comprehensive business and technology strategies. Celent publishes reports identifying trends and best practices in financial services technology and conducts consulting engagements for financial institutions looking to use technology to enhance existing business processes or launch new business strategies. With a team of internationally based analysts, Celent is uniquely positioned to offer strategic advice and market insights on a global basis.

A company's culture can be a critical determinant of its long-term success. At firms with strong cultures, employees care about the company, each other, and customers. They share information and cooperate. They feel good about their jobs and are willing to go the extra mile. This can provide a meaningful competitive edge.
In previous columns, I've discussed the importance of many different factors that one must consider when analyzing a company, including free cash flow, sustainable competitive advantage, strategy, and valuation. Today, I'd like to tackle something similarly important, yet more amorphous: corporate culture. What is culture? The word has many definitions, but Merriam-Webster's website has the one I'm looking for: "The set of shared attitudes, values, goals, and practices that characterizes a company." It's easy to think of companies -- Wal-Mart (NYSE: WMT), Home Depot (NYSE: HD), Starbucks (Nasdaq: SBUX), and Southwest Airlines (NYSE: LUV) come to mind -- with strong cultures. At such firms, I find, employees care about the company, each other, and customers. They share information and cooperate. They feel good about their jobs and are willing to go the extra mile. This type of culture can provide a meaningful competitive edge. For examples, I highly recommend the classic Built to Last. A more recent New York Times article (free registration required) cites author Frederick Reichheld, who in the latest Harvard Business Review noted that "if a counter clerk increases his attention to customers by 5 percent, you will kick up profits by a shocking amount." Given this, it's not surprising that many companies with the strongest cultures, including the four noted above, are in retail or service businesses. Dysfunctional cultures, meanwhile, can hamper a company's performance. Employee relations may be poor and characterized by an "us-versus-them" attitude between management and lower-level workers. (Think Dilbert.) A company may have difficulty attracting and retaining good employees. And customers may not enjoy the experience of working with the company -- and look elsewhere. Of course, profitability usually suffers. And "strong culture" does not necessarily simply mean "fun work environment." For examples, look no further than so many dot-coms, which preached all the right values (and bought firepoles and lavish parties for employees) but practiced only one: "get rich quick, no matter what the cost." It's little wonder that employees defected in droves from these companies once it became clear the riches wouldn't materialize. Charlie Munger on culture CORT Business Services Tupperware Berkshire Hathaway "There's a lot of human love in building at least some businesses and some people who own businesses love them. They don't want to sell to a financial buyer who will dress it up and strip it down. When we buy a company, we don't tinker with winning businesses. So, for some sellers... Berkshire Hathaway was the only acceptable buyer. "If you want a culture like ours, I don't know anywhere to get it if not here." Roots of strong cultures Steve Markel, vice chairman of Markel Corp. (NYSE: MKL), answered: "Having the right culture is a critical element of building a business of any sort. We spend a lot of time thinking about it. We call it 'The Markel Style.' Key tenets are openness, honesty, delegation of authority and holding people accountable. It's imprinted everywhere, such as on the inside cover of our annual report. It's repeated over and over. "As management, the key is to practice it. When you have a decision to make, you it line up against the values. You can't work on value #1 on Monday and value #2 on Tuesday. You have to use all the values every day." Bruce Nelson, who became CEO of Office Depot (NYSE: ODP) last year, echoed similar sentiments: "I have core personal beliefs about people and organizations. I have a set of values that people aspire to and believe in, and I've tried to articulate them from my first day as CEO. "One of the first things I did as CEO was take the senior leadership through a series of sessions to develop a common set of values and make sure they were understood and constantly reinforced. Then we presented this, over the course of six hours, to the over 40,000 employees in North America. We asked them for input and got incredible feedback, which we incorporated. It was a transformation process." When asked to describe the impact of these efforts, Nelson replied: "I've been taken aback by the progress. Across the board, there is a much higher retention rate from a year ago; in some cases, double. Our customer service indices are also way up across the board. I also sense that our employees have more hope and confidence, and that morale is substantially higher than it was nine or ten months ago." Conclusion Don't believe me? Take a look at Office Depot's stock chart since early January (when Nelson announced his turnaround strategy) and Markel's and Berkshire Hathaway's over the past decade or more. In future columns, I will share some thoughts on how to evaluate a company's culture, and also take a look at how some companies use innovative compensation systems to foster the right culture. -- Whitney Tilson Guest columnist Whitney Tilson is Managing Partner of Tilson Capital Partners, LLC, a New York City-based money management firm. He owned shares of Berkshire Hathaway, Office Depot and Wesco at press time. Mr. Tilson appreciates your feedback at firstname.lastname@example.com. To read his previous columns for The Motley Fool and other writings, visit http://www.tilsonfunds.com/
At the last two Wesco (AMEX: WSC) annual meetings, which I attended and covered, Berkshire Hathaway (NYSE: BRK.A) vice chairman Charlie Munger, who is chairman and CEO of Wesco, spoke extensively about corporate culture, which he believes emerges from "practice evolution" -- or a company's efforts to improve its processes over time via constant reinforcement by top management -- and its importance in investing: "Common stock investors can make money by predicting the outcomes of practice evolution. You can't derive this by fundamental analysis -- you must think biologically." To illustrate his point, he gave a number of examples:
Referring to a Wesco acquisition last year, Munger noted: "We wouldn't have bought CORT if we didn't like the culture, which resulted from long practice evolution. It's like Enterprise Rent-A-Car. They both have a terrific culture, service and incentive system."
"Another example is Tupperware (NYSE: TUP), which developed what I believe to be a corrupt system of psychological manipulation. But the practice evolution worked and had legs. Tupperware parties sold billions of dollars of merchandise for decades."
"Costco (Nasdaq: COST) has the right culture. They promote from within. It's a wonderful place to work." (Munger is a director of Costco.)
General Re
"It's one of the best reinsurance operations in the world. It has a strong distribution network and culture -- a culture of intelligence and discipline." (General Re is owned by Berkshire Hathaway.)
"There are certain virtues that are common in all of Berkshire's subsidiaries. We don't create them -- we select companies that have them already. We just don't screw it up.
As Munger correctly notes, strong cultures do not develop by accident. Instead, they are created over time. I recently spoke with senior managers at two companies whose cultures I admire, and asked them how they create and nurture their cultures.
Thinking about corporate culture might sound somewhat "touchy feely," but I would argue that few characteristics are more important to a company's -- and stock's -- success, both in turnaround situations like Office Depot's and in building and maintaining a company's competitive advantage, as in the cases of Markel, Berkshire Hathaway, and others.

Let us know when your receive great advice so we can thank our lawyers and point others with similar questions in the right direction.
Got it!28-year old daughter was stopped and arrested for a DUI with a .1 level. Has a good driving record and hasn't been in trouble with the law. She's terrified of the consequences and wants to make sure she is represented well.
This question cannot be adequately answered on an open forum list. However, it is easily answered in an attorney's office. Please take some time and set up consultations with your daughter for at least 3 experienced local DUI counsel in your area. If you cannot find one, I will help you find some good attorneys. This will help you determine if your daughter will be represented well. This situation will take some time to resolve and may impact your daughter for the rest of her life. Do not be afraid to ask any attorney these questions when you meet with them.
Good Luck,
What a DUI attorney will charge depends on a lot of things, her level of experience, the severity of the case, any travel costs, and a projection about what she believes is likely to happen in the case. There is no real way to answer this, but you should find a few on Avvo and contact them. Most attorneys offer free consultations. Find some that do. Have your daughter ask them about her case and for quotes. Hire the one who she like best in her price range. A good attorney will help greatly in lowering the stress of the situation since they know far more about it than you and will be able to reduce the stress of the unknown. She should write down her questions in advance because sometimes clients aren't able to remember them. Writing down the answers doesn't hurt comprehension later either since a lot of information will be coming at her.
I agree with the other attorneys. That's like asking how much does a car cost? Depends on what kind of car and what options come with it. You wouldn't buy a car solely on price, right? Shop around for someone you feel comfortable with. Good Luck!
The comments listed here do not create an attorney-client relationship. The comments are for informational purposes only and are not to be considered legal advice. This attorney is only licensed in Michigan and does not give legal advice in any other state. All comments are to be considered conversational information and you should not rely on these comments as legal advice or in place of retaining an attorney of our own. The comments here are based solely on what you have provided and therefore are general in nature and with more specific facts or details a different answer or outcome could result. The legal system is not a perfect science and this attorney does not guarantee any outcome.
All the previous responses are correct. Keep in mind that you pay for experience, expertise, knowledge, training, time, etc. Attorneys claiming to offer quality representation for a low cost are a red flag and should be avoided. As with most things, you get what you pay for and in the legal field it is not any different. Now paying a high fee doesn't guarantee that you will get quality reprsentation, so you need to do your due diligence in interviewing and selecting an attorney. Most DUI attorneys in CO charge a flat fee. It is really your choice on what type of fee structure you prefer, but most of the time a flat fee is the way to go. You probably don't want to pay your attorney for 4 hours at $250-$300/hr (travel, waiting for the DA, waiting for the Judge to take the bench, waiting for the in-custodies, etc) of time when he/she only got to meet with the DA for 15 minutes.
As others have stated, pick 2 or 3 of the top DUI Defense attorneys in the Denver Metro Area, schedule an in-office consultation with them and hire the one you feel the most comfortable with and that you both feel the most confident it.
The DUI process can last 5-9 months or more so you want to be comfortable with the attorney you hire. My firm handles DUI and traffic cases exclusively, so I would be glad to talk to your daughter about her case and provide her with a free consultation. Feel free to call my office or have your daughter call my office.
My decision to answer your question does not construe an attorney client relationship. My opinion is based on the facts you have provided. Before making any decisions, you should always consult directly with an experience attorney, either in person or via phone.
Also, make sure you ask about costs other than attorney's fees associated with the case, like the cost of having the blood or breath sample retested. Good lawyers will tell you up front what is involved in handling your case.

mule mane 2 Attachment(s) hello, my mule jessee has some pretty funky mane and show season is coming so i want to figure out a way to making it grow longer without sticking up. I do not want to roach it i would like to have it 6" long and down any tips apreciated :lol: thank you megan |
Unfortunately its almost unheard of (though it does happen sometimes) to see a mule with longer mane that yours has right now, and there really isn't a way to make it grow. Its the donkey gene in them that causes the mane to be so short. Most owners who show their mules hog their mane, but if you don't do that I would just cut it all even, maybe 2-3" tall. |
You could always try it and see! |
Maybe MTG will help... |
Why don't you want to roach it? I always kept my mules roached and thought he looked simply beautiful. :) |
Well actually I wouldn't mind reaching it but my mom refuses to let me. She likes putting in the braids and bands because apparently it looks more "professional":? |

Big Bar Lake Provincial Park
Volunteer Host Opportunity
Big Bar Lake Provincial Park offers volunteer host opportunities. Click here for more information.About This Park
Big Bar Lake Provincial Park comprises approximately 330 hectares of rolling landscape situated on the shore of a large lake, and scattered with small lakes and ponds. The park is couched in typical Cariboo ranching country on the southern edge of the Fraser Plateau. This extensive plateau stretches north beyond Lac La Hache, and was formed from lava flows some five to ten million years ago.The park was established in 1969, and is a very popular destination for family camping vacations. The park features 25 new lakeside campsites in addition to a large day-use area offering beachside picnic areas and a Big Toy for children. The construction project was funded by FRBC through the Campgrounds BC Initiative, and was completed in the summer of 1999.
The park's setting is typical of the southern Cariboo. Set against a mountainous backdrop, the lake is surrounded by lodgepole pine and spruce. Visitors of Big Bar Lake Park often see wildlife on the 4 km hiking trail surrounding the scenic wetlands, and enjoy angling for rainbow trout in the 3-mile long lake. The area is an extremely popular fishing destination, and is also widely used by other recreationists. Area attractions include several guest ranches, the towering Marble Range south of the park, and Gang Ranch country. Visitors can also travel along the Jesmond Loop, by continuing past Big Bar Lake Provincial Park, and eventually connecting with Highway 97 by way of the Jesmond and Kelly Lake Roads. This scenic drive passes by Little Big Bar Lake and the historic townsite of Jesmond, where the OK Corral – one of the oldest ranches in the area – is situated. The loop also accesses the Jesmond fire lookout by way of a narrow four-wheel drive road, from which visitors can enjoy panoramic views of the surrounding landscape, including Marble Range and Edge Hills Provincial Parks. Big Bar Lake Park and the surrounding country provide a beautiful setting for a summer holiday.
Big Bar Lake Park is easily accessible, and provides a range of recreational opportunities for outdoor enthusiasts. Some of the major recreational opportunities available in the park include day-use picnicking, lakeside camping, boating, canoeing and kayaking, swimming, wildlife viewing, hiking, and fishing. Abundant rainbow trout typically reward the angler; fishing is active nearly all season, but is typically the best between mid May and late July. Nearby guest ranches offer horseback excursions into the open range that lies north of the lake.
Established Date: October 27, 1969
Park Size: 368 hectares.

Activities Available at this Park
There are opportunities for canoeing or kayaking in this park.
Bicycles must keep to roadways, and bicycle helmets are mandatory in British Columbia. If exploring by mountain bike, the Jesmond Fire lookout provides great views of the Fraser River and the Mountains and rangelands of the Chilcotin.
Fishing for rainbow trout is a popular activity, as the lake has had an active stocking program since 1970, and is now stocked on a yearly basis. There have been trout up to 6.5 lb caught in the lake, and many fish are in the two pound range. Nearby Little Big Bar lake and Beaverdam Lake are also popular for fishing. Anyone fishing or angling in British Columbia must have an appropriate licence.
There is a 3.5 km self-guided Otter Marsh Interpretive Trail. Please see Otter Marsh Interpretive trail brochure noted above. For your own safety and preservation of the park, obey posted signs and keep to designated trails. Shortcutting trails destroys plant life and soil structure.
Pets on Leash
Pets/domestic animals must be on a leash at all times and are not allowed in beach areas or park buildings. You are responsible for their behaviour and must dispose of their excrement. Backcountry areas are not suitable for dogs or other pets due to wildlife issues and the potential for problems with bears.
Swimming is available at the beach located in the day-use area. The swimming area is roped off. There are NO LIFEGUARDS on duty at provincial parks.
Facilities Available at this Park
Boat Launch
There is a paved, single-wide boat launch on the lake adjacent to the lakeside campsites. Towing behind boats is not allowed and there is a speed limit of 10 km per hour at Big Bar Lake. Boat launch is open until Canada Thanksgiving weekend.
While campfires are allowed and campfire rings are provided at each campsite, we encourage visitors to conserve wood and protect the environment by minimizing the use of fire and using campstoves instead. Firewood can be purchased in the park or you may bring your own wood. Fees for firewood are set locally and may vary from park to park. Limited burning hours or campfire bans may be implemented. To preserve vegetation and ground cover, please don't gather firewood from the area around your campsite or elsewhere in the park (this is a ticketable offence under the Park Act). Dead wood is an important habitat element for many plants and animals and it adds organic matter to the soil.
Drinking Water
Cold water taps are located throughout the park. Taps are shut off during the off season.
Picnic Areas
There is a day-use/picnicking area with picnic tables, pit toilets, an adventure playground, and a parking area.

Unlike the loss of scalp hair, the loss of one's eyebrows is not viewed as a natural process and is, therefore, not cosmetically acceptable. Eyebrows may be lost for a variety of reasons including thyroid and other systemic diseases, alopecia areata, burns, tattoos, infections, repeated plucking, congenital inability to grow eyebrows and a genetic tendency for eyebrows to thin, or disappear, over time.
Eyebrow restoration is similar to other hair transplant procedures performed on the scalp, in that, for appropriate candidates, the transplanted hair is permanent. However, because eyebrows have their own unique attributes, eyebrow transplants differ from hair transplants in a number of important ways.
Alopecia areata is a fairly common form of hair loss in which the hair falls out in small coin-sized spots anywhere on the scalp. Severe forms rarely progress to complete hair loss. This is a medical, not a surgical problem, and it should not be treated with transplants unless it has remained stable for many years. Even then, the transplanted hair will likely fall out if the disease is reactivated.
Various primary dermatologic diseases can affect the scalp, leading to hair loss due to scar formation. Treatment is aimed at medical control of the disease. If the disease remains under control for years, transplants can be considered for the scarred areas, but just like with alopecia areata, if the disease returns, that transplanted hair could be lost. On the contrary, scars due to injury or accident are nicely concealed through hair transplantation, and Nu/Hart has had great success with these types of restoration procedures.
Rarely, patients will actually pull out their own hair. This condition is known as trichotillomania. In adults, it is usually seen in the setting of psychological problems such as anxiety, depression, or frank psychosis. Again, this can be treated with transplants, but it is not uncommon for patients to relapse and begin pulling out the hair again.

That's cool, this clip is proving to be deceptively hard to find. I checked on P2P networks but without a clear name on what to type as the search term, that effort prvoed to be futile. If anyone else could help me, I would most appreciate it and stuff.

The chemical structure of the cell membrane makes it remarkably flexible, the ideal boundary for rapidly growing and dividing cells. Yet the membrane is also a formidable barrier, allowing some dissolved substances, or solutes, to pass while blocking others. Lipid-soluble molecules and some small molecules can permeate the membrane, but the lipid bilayer effectively repels the many large,...

...between the inside and outside of the cell, whereby they control the concentrations of ions within the cells; when such transport is in the direction that requires a supply of energy, it is called
active transport (see cell: The plasma membrane).
nutrient absorption
Since absorption of nutrients frequently occurs by way of
active transport within cell membranes, an excess of one nutrient (A) may inhibit absorption of a second nutrient (B), if they share the same absorption pathway. In such cases, the apparent requirement for nutrient B increases; B, however, can sometimes be supplied in an alternate form that is able to enter the cell by a different route....
poisons and chemical transport
Active transport systems move chemicals essential to cellular functions through the membrane into the cell. Such essential chemicals include calcium ions, amino acids, carbohydrates, and vitamins. Because the structures of poisons usually are not similar to those of chemicals essential to cells, few poisons are absorbed by
active transport. Active transport, however, is important in the...

An excerpt from www.HouseOfNames.com archives copyright © 2000 - 2017
Bennoie Early OriginsThe surname Bennoie was first found in Languedoc, where the family held a family seat since ancient times. Bennoie Spelling VariationsBennoie Spelling VariationsThe many different spellings of French surnames can be partially explained by the use of local dialects and by the influence of other languages during the early development of the French language. As a result of these linguistic and cultural influences, the name Bennoie is distinguished by a number of regional variations. The many spelling variations of the name include Benoît, Benoit, Benois, Benoie, Benoi, Benoy, Benoyt, Benoyte, Benoye, Benoys, Bennoît, Bennoit, Bennois, Bennoie, Bennoi, Bennoy, Bennoyt, Bennoyte, Bennoye, Bennoys, Benoitt, Bennoitte, De Benoît, De Benois, De Benoiste, De Bennoist and many more. Bennoie Early HistoryBennoie Early HistoryThis web page shows only a small excerpt of our Bennoie research. Another 505 words (36 lines of text) covering the years 1300, 1400, 1582, and 1618 are included under the topic Early Bennoie History in all our PDF Extended History products and printed products wherever possible. Bennoie Early Notables (pre 1700)Bennoie Early Notables (pre 1700)Another 33 words (2 lines of text) are included under the topic Early Bennoie Notables in all our PDF Extended History products and printed products wherever possible. The Great MigrationThe Great MigrationMigration from France to New France or Quebec as it was now more popularly called, continued from France until it fell in 1759. By 1675, there were 7000 French in Quebe c. By the same year the Acadian presence in Nova Scotia, New Brunswick and Prince Edward Island had reached 500. In the treaty of Utrecht, the Acadians were ceded by France to Britain in 1713. In 1755, 10,000 French Acadians refused to take an oath of allegiance to England and were deported. They found refuge in Louisiana. In 1793, the remaining French in these provinces came under British rule. Meanwhile, in Quebec, the French race flourished, founding in Lower Canada, one of the two great solitudes which became Canada. Many of this distinguished family name Bennoie were prominent in social, cultural, religious and political affairs in France and New France. Amongst the settlers in North America with this distinguished name Bennoie were Jacques Benoît, who settled with his wife, Sara Mounie and son, Jean, in Carolina in 1695; D. Benoitt, aged 27; settled in Baltimore in 1823; Benjamin Bennoi settled with his wife and 2 children in Boston, Massachusetts, in 1768. MottoMottoThe motto was originally a war cry or slogan. Mottoes first began to be shown with arms in the 14th and 15th centuries, but were not in general use until the 17th century. Thus the oldest coats of arms generally do not include a motto. Mottoes seldom form part of the grant of arms: Under most heraldic authorities, a motto is an optional component of the coat of arms, and can be added to or changed at will; many families have chosen not to display a motto.

The Bennoie Family Crest was acquired from the Houseofnames.com archives. The Bennoie Family Crest was drawn according to heraldic standards based on published blazons.

ST. PAUL, Minn. (AP) — A newly released deposition shows retired Twin Cities Archbishop Harry Flynn said he could not remember how he handled clergy sex abuse cases during his 13-year tenure.
Under oath last month, Flynn said at least 134 times that he could not recall how he handled the cases.
Flynn, who is now 81, retired six years ago. He said he didn't have dementia or other diagnosed memory problems.
Minnesota Public Radio News reports the former archbishop said he did not report any accusations of child sexual abuse to police and doesn't recall asking anyone else to report abuse claims, either.
Flynn testified as part of a lawsuit filed in 2013 by a man who says he was sexually abused by a former priest decades ago.
The archdiocese says it is not commenting on Flynn's deposition.

Over the last three weeks we have been in Toronto,
Boston, and Anaheim for the Siggraph show. We
met with a lot of customers who expressed their concerns about the cost of
their NetApp storage and the options that are available today and on the
horizon. It was nice to spend a weekend at home after so much traveling
Storage just grows and whether you are in the Government,
Energy, Media, Financial, Healthcare, Manufacturing, or the Hosting business
sector it is becoming a bigger problem to manage. In the USA, the regulatory
environment is increasing the need for storage for many financial and
healthcare customers that we deal with. The need for more storage and the cost
and training of storage engineers knowledgeable of the
proprietary systems sold by NetApp and EMC is adding to the budget and administrative
burdens of many IT staffs. Specialist training is expensive.
We have a lot of Financial and Healthcare companies who
use our NetApp support services to extend the life cycle of their EOS (End of
Support) NetApp equipment. Our list of customers in both of these highly
regulated sectors is growing, and they recognize that the need for an
affordable tier two storage solution is growing even in these very conservative
Along with the
financial and Healthcare industries, many of our customers in the Energy,
Media, and Hosting sectors have adopted our SimplStor storage solutions because
a generic tool set and knowledge base are easier to maintain and the costs of
training are a lot lower. When your storage is growing at 100% or more a year a
proprietary storage solution can get prohibitively expensive to maintain and customers'
recognize we can help them by adding economical SimplStor storage as a part of

Manufacturing customers are always looking for ways to
cut their operational costs, and we have many manufacturing operations that are
using our Zerowait support for their NetApp equipment around the world. As State
and Federal regulations increase the requirements for immediate access to
archival information, the manufacturing sector has been growing for Zerowait as
customers look for a way to meet the new regulations in the most economical way
Storage is a horizontal market, and every organization
needs to find a way to control the growth of storage costs. Zerowait has a set
of products and services that are
recognized by customers around the world in a variety of market
segments, and slowly but surely even the US Federal Government is recognizing
that there are affordable alternatives to the storage providers they use.
Finding personnel trained in the proprietary storage vendors' tool sets is
getting harder as the amount of storage grows. Zerowait
can help organizations maintain their NetApp equipment, and with our SimplStor
product line we have built a reliable, scalable, and affordable solution that

This recipe for Paleo Almond Banana Bread is refined sugar free, gluten free and made with almond and coconut flours! This bread is a longtime favorite.
My goodness. I really want to give you guys a good recipe post right now. I want to write something long, and inspiring, or at least entertaining.
But…I want to do that less than I want to sleep.
To all other sorority girls out there, it's polish week. Or work week, or prep week, or whatever you call the week before recruitment.
If you've gone through it, well, you know that it is exhausting! Fun, because I've been with my sisters non-stop, but we've also been going long hours and I need to sleep! So, unfortunately, all your getting out of me tonight is a kick-ass recipe for paleo, refined sugar free, gluten free, delicious almond banana bread.
This stuff is healthy, and while it doesn't taste like chocolate cake, it's actually really good!
My sister devoured two loaves in as many days, and her boyfriend referred to it as "the bread of the gods". My sister is gluten-free, but her boyfriend isn't, so that definitely tells you something!
I also love that this recipe uses coconut oil! It's one of my new favorite products to use, because it's so darn versatile My favorite way to use it is in cooking (obviously), but my sister slathers it all over her body in place of body lotion (and she always smells great) and I know some people use it in their hair too.
I get my coconut oil from the awesome people at Tropical Traditions*. They offered me a free bottle of their Gold Label Virgin Coconut Oil to try, and the stuff is absolutely amazing. I've created a ton of recipes using it that I can't wait to share here! If you're unsure of coconut oil and it's uses (I know it seems like a total fad thing, but I think it's here to stay), the site has great info about how to use coconut oil.
As for the texture, this Almond Banana Bread is dense, but super flavorful and isn't dry or crumbly at all. The coconut oil and bananas keep it super moist (ew, that word). It's amazing with a slather of peanut butter, a thin layer of coconut butter, or a pat of butter.
It's sweet, which is wildly impressive considering except for 1 tablespoon of honey (that's nothing!), it's sweetened solely by bananas. I also love doing the no-grain thing in my gluten free baking recipes, because almonds and coconuts (the flours I used) taste like they belong in a dessert or baked good, unlike other weird gluten free flours that just leave a bad aftertaste.
If you're looking for something a tad bit healthier than your typical banana bread, try this recipe out! You won't be disappointed.
- 2 medium bananas, mashed
- 2 tablespoons coconut oil, melted
- 1 tablespoon honey
- 1 tablespoon vanilla extract
- 3 eggs
- 1 cup (4 oz.) almond flour
- ½ cup (2 oz.) coconut flour
- 1½ teaspoons baking soda
- ½ teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
- ¼ cup chopped almonds
- 1 teaspoon turbinado sugar (not paleo, totally optional!)
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Grease a 5x7-inch loaf pan.
- Mix together the bananas, coconut oil, honey, vanilla, and eggs until completely combined. Add in the almond flour, coconut flour, baking soda, salt, and cinnamon and stir until all the ingredients are fully incorporated.
- Pour the mixture, which should be thick, into the prepared loaf pan and smooth the top. Sprinkle the chopped almonds and turbinado sugar evenly over the top.
- Bake for 32-35 minutes or until the bread is golden brown and a knife comes out clean. Let cool for 10 minutes and then invert onto a wire rack to cool completely.
- Keep tightly wrapped for up to 3 days.
For the coconut flour, I use Bob's Red Mill, which is readily available at most grocery stores.
This recipe is heavily adapted from Running to the Kitchen
Tropical Traditions provided me with a free sample of their coconut oil to try. I had no obligation to write about it. This post contains affiliate links.

FSA fines Nestor £175,000 for failure to secure compliance to the Model Code - .PDF file.
On 14 February 2013, the Financial Services Authority (FSA) released a Final Notice against Nestor Healthcare Group and fined it £175,000 for failure to take all proper and reasonable steps to secure the compliance of persons discharging managerial responsibility (PDMRs) with the Model Code.
The reason why this will be of such interest to board members and company secretaries is that the FSA did not find any instances of market abuse; a finding of a lax and inconsistent approach to
compliance with the Model Code was sufficient for enforcement action. Furthermore, the FSA's Final Notice recognises that PDMRs at Nestor generally understood that approvals were required and that the steps they did take were in keeping with the purpose of the Model Code…

Infamous Players: A Tale of Movies, the Mob, (and Sex)In 1967, Peter Bart, then a young family man and rising reporter for the New York Times, decided to upend his life and enter into the dizzying world of motion pictures. Infamous Players is the story of Bart's whirlwind journey at Paramount, his role in its triumph and failures, and how a new kind of filmmaking emerged during that time. When Bart was lured to Paramount by his friend and fellow newcomer, the legendary Robert Evans, the studio languished, its slate riddled with movies that were out of touch with the dynamic sixties. By the time Bart had left Paramount in 1975, the studio had completed a remarkable run with such films as The Godfather, Rosemary's Baby, Harold and Maude, Love Story, Chinatown, Paper Moon, and True Grit. But this new golden era at Paramount was also fraught with chaos and company turmoil. Drugs, sex, runaway budgets, management infighting, and even the Mafia started finding their way onto the Paramount backlot, making it surely one of the worst-run studios in the history of the movie industry. As Peter reflects on the New Hollywood era at Paramount with behind-the-scenes details and insightful analysis, here too are his fascinating recollections of the icons from that era: Warren Beatty, Steve McQueen, Robert Redford, Clint Eastwood, Jack Nicholson, Marlon Brando, Al Pacino, Francis Ford Coppola, Roman Polanski, and Frank Sinatra among others. For over five decades, first on the inside as a studio executive, and later as the longtime editor-in-chief of Variety, Peter Bart has viewed Hollywood from an incomparable vantage point. The stories he tells and the lessons we learn from Infamous Players are essential for anyone who loves movies. |

Publisher EA wants to exploit the Dead Space universe more according to a report, by developing a first-person shooter and a flight game of some kind, followed by 'Uncharted in space'. Dead Space 3 is said to be Isaac Clarke's last adventure and set on an ice planet, where the white blizzards will replace eerie darkness; it remains an unofficial title. An insider told Kotaku that EA wants the Dead Space team to expand and enrich the IP, such as an FPS instalment. In 2009 an on-rails shooter came out for Nintendo Wii, now ported to PS3. There are ideas floating around for a flight game of some kind for Dead Space too. Once these projects are completed then "an Uncharted-like game" would commence production, reports Kotaku. Dead Space 3 was almost canned by a management reshuffling at EA, as they don't sell as well as other big IPs. No Mirror's Edge then? Dead Space 3 is still in the pipe and we'll be battling "white-out blizzard conditions" and the necromorphs on an ice planet, Tau Volantis. What do you think of these rumoured new directions for Dead Space? |

"I saw this earlier and not only was it a long time ago but it left such a mark on me that I remembered it months later. Therefore, it's no longer funny like it was in the other place I saw it but I'm also showing everyone how busy and important I am to constantly check these sites, not for a laugh once in a while, but to compare how each is doing."

She is stupid, so it is okay.
I like it when girls subconsciously imitate a baboon's arse by pouting.
It makes me want to subconsciously coat their lips in a theoretical yellow stinky goo.

It's ok for her to mock the duck face whilst pulling the duck face. But only if she gets hit by a train.
What, the duck face isn't sexy? Should probably go change my profile pic then … who knew :/
curly You should replace your duck face profile pic with a 'Urghhh it's in my hair and tastes like Aerial Washing Powder' expression instead…
that is some seriously good artwork.
whoever drew it should do art for a job. -
Oh mofo, I think I could do that one really well.
Cool you pull that face and I'll Pull my 'I've just cock sneezed vinegar from my bell end' face…we'll look a right pair.
RealityCheck April 26th, 2012 at 10:34 am
The OP (Original Poster) is poking gentle fun at the present internet meme (trend) of Duck Face. Ironically, her profile picture clearly shows her engaging in the very activity she is lambasting. Her friends have been kind enough to point this out to her, resulting in a mildly amusing screen grab.
lambok April 26th, 2012 at 10:56 am
It has only just begun, and already I am beyond tired of these obnoxious 'reality checks'. Dig deeper, man. You can do better.
crustylovelips April 26th, 2012 at 12:36 pm
^ Not sure he can.
I saw this post on FunnyJunk a loooooong time ago.
RealityCheck, i heart you.
beatusmongous April 27th, 2012 at 2:08 am
^ You heart everyone, you little slut.
oh its true i admit it. a slut til the end, me.
*desperate* slut.
^ and is there something wrong with that?
*stupid*desperate* slut.

Effective Leadership:
Managerial Leadership
Principle-Centered Leadership
Building Natural Principles Into the Centre of Your Life and Work
Executive summary by Vadim Kotelnikov. Based on "Principle-Centered Leadership", Stephen R. Covey
"There are three constants in life... change, choice, and principles." ~ Stephen R. Covey
"If you focus on principles, you empower everyone who understands those principles to act without constant monitoring, evaluating, correcting, or controlling" ~ Stephen R. Covey
Principles versus Practices
Practices – what to do's – are specific activities or actions that work in one circumstance but not necessary in another.
Principles – why to do's – have universal application; when principles are internalized into habits, they empower people to create a wide variety of practices to deal with different situations.
Leading by Principles versus Leading by Practices
Leading by Practices: all the judgment and wisdom is provided in the form or rules and regulations; employees don't have to be the experts and don't have to exercise judgment
Leading by Principles: requires a different type of and more training, but the payoff is more expertise, creativity, and shared responsibility at all levels of the organization
Principles-Centered Leadership
Four Levels of Practicing
Principles-centered leadership is practiced from the inside out on four levels:
Personal: your relationships with yourself
Interpersonal: your relationships and interactions with others
Your People Skills 360
Managerial: your responsibility to get a job done with others
Organizational: your need to organize people
12 Effective Leadership Roles
Create an inspiring vision, establish shared values, give direction and set stretch goals... More
Principle-Centered Leaders Defined
Principle-centered leaders are men and women of character who work on the basis of natural principles and build those principles into the center of their lives, into the center of their relationships with others, into the center of their agreements and contracts, into their management processes, and into their mission statements.
Major Leadership Schools: Correlation
New Paradigm
Responding to classic dilemmas of modern living, principle-centered leadership presents a new way of thinking that is to help you to:
achieve and maintain a wise and renewing balance between work and family, personal and professional ambitions, in the middle of constant crises and pressures
Life-Business Synergy
adhere to simplicity in the thick of increasing complexity
maintain a sense of direction in today's wilderness, where well-developed road maps (strategies and plans) are rendered useless by rapid change that often hits you from the blind side
look at human weaknesses with genuine compassion and understanding rather than accusation and self-justification
replace prejudice (the tendency to prejudge and categorize people in order to manipulate them) with a sense of reverence and discovery in order to promote learning, achievement, and excellence in people
get empowered (and empower other people) with confidence and competence to solve problems and seize opportunities – without being or fearing loose cannons
Entrepreneurial Leader: 4 Specific Attributes
encourage the desire to change and improve without creating more pain from the gain
become a contributing member of a complementary team based on mutual respect and the valuing of diversity and pluralism
know where to start, when and how to recharge your batteries to maintain momentum for learning, growing and improving.
Inspirational Leader: 10 Roles
18 Leadership Lessons from Colin Powell
By treating everyone equally "nicely" regardless of their contributions, you'll simply ensure that the only people you'll wind up angering are the most creative and productive people in the organization.
Organization charts and fancy titles count for next to nothing. In well-run organizations, titles are also pretty meaningless. But titles mean little in terms of real power, which is the capacity to influence and inspire....
Develop a Clear Vision
The one quality that all leaders have in common is that they have a clear and exciting vision for the future. This is something that only the leader can do. Only the leader can think about the future and plan for the future each day... More

"I listened yesterday. It's no reflection on you but I could'nt see where you were going or what you were going for. This early seventies thing did'nt get noticed the first time and you talk about friends of like Dealney and Bonnie who had records out like we're supposed to remember who they are. Then you play this long winded free jazz stuff that really grates on my nerves. And that noise without a beat and sounds like someones being pinched. Then you play a reggae song, I think you called it Dub, to what, be cool? You seem to really fetishize the whole folk thing too which is obnoxious to us who don't even care. I liked it when you played that punk song though. I like Joe Belock a lot." (Visit homepage.)

Mon. 9/29/08 10:47am
Oh God, Ronald, don't expose my kryptonite. I'll give up my right to free speech if it will protect the poor abused apostrophes. Mmm, roots. You can make tea with bitter roots. Anyway, I really like this Tetine track. | |
Mon. 9/29/08 10:48am
