The Mississippi Community College Board (MCCB) has adopted a tool from an education analytics company in an effort to reduce dropouts among students in online courses.
The board chose AspirEdu's Dropout Detective in part for its "fully automated risk assessment capabilities," according to a news release.
Dropout Detective is integrated with the schools' learning management systems to analyze student behaviors and success. Through dashboards, the tool can notify administrators, instructors or advisors which students are at risk. The students themselves can also be notified via email.
"One of the key goals of our e-learning division is to find solutions that help us support the success of our students who are taking online courses," said Audra Love Kimble, assistant executive director for e-learning at the MCCB. "Dropout Detective will give us the tools to identify students who need that support. We can then be pro-active in reaching out to our students. We are especially pleased at how the AspirEdu team was able to accommodate our ability to support students who are taking courses at more than one school in our system."

Stalled Rooms???
Hello- I've played through once on the normal level and I'm jumping up one however twice I've had a stalled room. Once it was grenades and now it's my dodge room. I just deleted the grenades room and restarted it but I don't want to have to do that with my dodge. Any ideas on how to fix these rooms?
Re: Stalled Rooms???
I don't quite understand the question, you are deleting rooms and remaking them?

Re: Stalled Rooms???
A room stalls its token production if there are no crew members inside it. to fix your problem, just put a crew member inside the room and all will be well.

Re: Stalled Rooms???
I'm in the same boat. I have engineers in the dodge room, but I can't generate tokens. The engineers are assigned to the room properly. The dodge room is completely upgraded, do I don't want to delete it. I've played through almost the entire game without dodge tokens, but I need them for the final battle.
Re: Stalled Rooms???
If you're playing the android version, there are longer tokens for this room.
On unupdated iOS, remove them from the room and reassign them.

Re: Stalled Rooms???
We've engineers inside the dodge room, nevertheless I cannot generate tokens. Your engineers are given towards room properly. Your dodge room seemingly upgraded, do i tend not to want to remove the item. We have played via pretty much the complete game devoid of dodge tokens, nevertheless I would like these individuals for that remaining combat.

Re: Stalled Rooms???
The dodge room shouldn't produce tokens and the dodge weapon shouldn't require tokens any more. Which version are you playing? We're working on an update and will add this to the task list for testing to make sure stalls aren't an issue going forward.

BEAVERTON, Ore. (KATU) — Beaverton Police in Oregon confirmed two employees of Panera Bread broke the window of a hot car Wednesday afternoon to save two Yorkshire Terriers.
Mike Rowe with Beaverton Police confirmed the two employees saw two distressed dogs by themselves in a parked van for at least an hour, and tried to find the owner. All of the windows of the car were rolled up, and temperatures hovered around 90 degrees.
After failing to find the owner, they broke the window of the car and took out the two dogs, then helped them cool off inside.
Beaerton Police officers cited the dogs' owner, 21-year-old Barth Cossett, for animal neglect. Cossett told police he was opening a bank account at the time, and the dogs are his and his partner's support animals.

BRUCE IRONS MEDITATES. Did you know that? Anytime he desires, he closes his lids and stares into his late brother's eyes. I didn't see that coming, not from Bruce. But I think that's maybe the best thing I've heard all month. The best thing I've seen, well, that's a toss-up between the girls of Stab, who we're seriously considering including in next year's Swimsuit issue, and SURFING photographer DJ Struntz's Costa Rican score.
Babes. Waves. It was a good month. A month of reinvention.
This issue celebrates the zags in a world of zigs. During the magazine's creation I was reading The Gang That Wouldn't Write Straight, a book that details the New Journalism movement of the 1960s. New Journalism was a transformation led by a group of brazen writers and editors who tired of traditional, dry journalism and took to writing nonfiction like novels. Hunter S. Thompson. Tom Wolfe. Gay Talese. Guys we now consider legends because they changed the game. The movement was met with angry letters and uproar from conventional journalists who held tightly to their rigid story templates like the last sips of water in the Sahara. New Journalism was a paradigm shift. It was change. It was scary.
What you'll find in this magazine isn't so scary (unless you're talking about Dorian's Maverick's barrel), but it's change nonetheless. Fun change. A collection of articles, interviews, profiles and photos that celebrate approaching the things we've done for years in a new and exciting way. Like Costa Rica, for instance. A beaten path if there ever were one, DJ and crew put a new spin on it when they went to the Caribbean side and rediscovered waves that were comparable to Cloudbreak. Reward for risk, as it should be. Like Stab dolling up half the women's World Tour and revealing them revealing almost all, and making us question our stereotypes of girl surfers. And like Chas Smith's profile on Julian Wilson, who is hitting the reset button and changing his tour approach this year with a renewed sense of belonging. The angle that Chas took with the article — its setting and structure — is one that would make the New Journalists proud.
So much new. So much change. So much fun. —Taylor Paul
Inside this Issue
You've been to Costa Rica. So has your cousin, the one with the soft top. And your yoga teacher. But have we all been missing something? A whole other coastline, perhaps? Despite rumors of crime and fickle waves, SURFING senior photog DJ Struntz, CJ Hobgood, Balaram Stack and Eric Geiselman venture to right-side waters. Guided by Jah and His local prophet, Gilbert Brown, the crew loots a local treasure.
Chas Smith and a pair of ladies dine with Julian Wilson in San Francisco's Chinatown. It is there that Julian talks of expectations, a tumultuous rookie year and his hope for the future. A future that, as Chas Smith graciously surmises, will be brighter than all the rest.
From girl next door to Aphrodite, no one does a makeover like Stab. Sam McIntosh and Derek Rielly lend us the goods on their swelteringly sexy fashion shoots. (We're not giving them back.)
Shane Dorian, big-wave surfing's Ferdinand Magellan, continues to brave new passages on stalwart craft. He discusses how he rides Maverick's like the right at Pipe and we listen, intently.
It's a measurement of liquid and the reason why you float. But why is it vacant from the stringer? Rusty Preisendorfer explains the lost dimension.
Tired of "good sports" in competitive surfing? Samesies. Where are the rivalries of old? Here — according to Chas Smith, who says that Kolohe hates John John and John John hates Kolohe. So it is written, so it shall be.
Among these images is one that photo editor Peter Taras says is one of the best photos taken all year. Can you guess which one?

X5 Timing Chain snapped HELP!!
Hey there, I am new to this Forum and just bought my first beemer two weeks ago. Its a 2001 BMW X5 4.4L. Everything worked fine till we got the stupid -45 degrees weather in Saskatchewan and I tried to start the vehicle and it wouldnt start. I waited a few days till it warmed up and still nothing. I towed to a buddies house with a heated garage and let it warm up for couple hours and it now started turning over. While turning it over I heard a bang. Popped the hood and looked around and noticed a big chunk of the valve cover was near the oil cap. I looked in the hole and the chain was broken. Would this be worth fixing? The engine was not evening running when it snapped so I am hoping there is no internal damages.

I think that many Americans have known for a long time that indulgent, Helicopter-style parenting leads to entitled children. Of course, when it's spelled out that way, the truth seems implicit and obvious, but it's a truth that's been lost on a generation of middle class parents who only wanted their children to avoid all of the discomforts that they experienced, and to have all of the advantages that they never had. While that sentiment is certainly one that anyone can empathize with, it seems like we've finally reached a point where public angst over the consequences of entitlement has boiled over into the mainstream. Whether in the form of Amy Chua's strident promotion of the other extreme, or my own endorsement of a more balanced approach, a growing chorus of voices is arguing that children need not and should not be sheltered from adversity.
The latest proponent of this view is Lori Gottlieb of The Atlantic, who argues in "How to Land Your Kids in Therapy" that over-attentive, coddling parents are, despite their best intentions, destroying their kids' chances at a normal life by being too concerned with their short-term emotional well-being and never letting them experience failure. By the time these children become adults, they've become so attuned to the implied message that they're entitled to a perfect life that they have trouble dealing with normal, everyday levels of adversity. Because their Helicopter parents always praised them for the slightest accomplishments, and allowed them to quit their sports or musical instruments as soon as they lost interest, they never developed the drive and perseverance necessary to succeed in the real world.
These points are very similar to the ones I made in Our Entitled Children: An American Tiger Mom's Story, and I'm glad that more and more parents are coming around to the idea that the more you shelter your children, the worse off both of you will be when they grow up. But while lots of attention plus low expectations is indeed a toxic mixture, I disagree with Ms. Gottlieb that the problem is too much parenting and emotional support in general. That's sliding dangerously close to Tiger Mom territory. Rather than backing off and becoming less "attuned" to their children's needs, I think that parents just need to refocus their energies on more productive avenues. You can and should support their hobbies and interests, but also make it clear that once they start something, they have to finish it. Praise their effort and give them abundant love and support, but also set and enforce high academic standards. Let them have the things that they really want if you can afford them, as long as you teach them how to save and earn money so they can buy it themselves in the future. In short, it's ok to be attentive to your children's needs as long as you balance it out with high expectations. And yes, let them experience failure once in a while, and they'll see that it's not the end of the world.
That's how an American Tiger Mom does it.

Keira brings her boyfriend to TIFF
Keira Knightley arrived in Toronto yesterday in advance of the A Dangerous Method gala tonight...without Michael Fassbender. As previously noted, we will get into this on Monday.
As you can see, Keira was accompanied by her boyfriend James Righton. Am curious to see if they walk together tonight. Of if they'll usher him in while she handles the press line.
Anyway, boyfriend aside, my primary observation about these pictures is that she's getting off a plane in Christopher Kane. Or at least that's what it looks like. The galaxy print. On a plane! That dress is not cheap! Imagine spending hundreds of dollars on a dress and schlubbing it on a plane! This is not my life.

ALS cross-eye stereo testing
For those that don't have the red/cyan glasses or have impaired colour perception, here the ALS has been converted to display two images side by side. Left image is displayed on the right and right on the left. To perceive as a 3D image you need to focus your eyes somewhere between your nose and the screen until the two images converge to form a third image in the middle. I find this going cross-eyed very uncomfortable (even if sitting a long way from the screen) and much prefer the colour separation method. However, since someone asked if it was possible, I thought I'd make it possible. Here we are, once again in one render with no postwork. All the work being done by lenses and mirrors bolted (parented) onto the front of the perspective camera. Again, this is experimental, so feedback is welcome.

I remember having published some photographs working this way. I have to recover that because there is a ratio of size and distance (must be on an old web project, most probably have a backup). I was rather good in bringing them together. These are too large for me, I can't manage.

I struggle too... have to sit a long way back and then wag my finger in front of the monitor near the end of my nose.

These are all fantastic , David. The spark plugs look great and very anti-gravity. The head of the dragon protrudes nicely. The sphere with the bubble iridescent texture looks fantastic. The effect is very nice in each of them.
I find that the images dont do so well on this white background. I find it easier to perceive them when I press the View Image and see it on a grey background.
Thanks indeed for the feedback Rashad! They don't really work for me and it seems Horo also struggles, I manufactured these on the basis of the theory. Possibly our age is against us? Thanks also for the tip on the backdrop.
I find it very easy on my 7" android screen
bigger is harder as I know from experience, watching a video even more straining, hence the nVidia 3D vision glasses in the mail I hope (paid for)
just hope I can put images made by me and maybe yours for personal use, into that format, have stvmkr that does it for video.
Thank you Wendy. Oh yes, should be able to animate with this also... not that I am wonder at animation... but I will try to conceive of a test. It will not be this scene though...Splash_anaglypherized2+crossover1.jpg750 x 375 - 223K

Super fantastic, David. How were your render times for the splash? I remember the original years ago took ages upon ages, wonder how it compares now with Bryce 7 and a much more powerful system?

Just made my eyes go funny trying to make these work, but then I do have a lazy eye, which could account for it.
Jamahoney Posts: 1,641
Sparkplugs, glass ball one and the drop very easy to view, however, the dragon one is very hard to adjust to, but when it 'comes in', the 3D effect is great ('coming out' is a killer on the eyes, though). With this cross-eyed technique, one can also block out the side images, too; simply by putting a hand on either side of the central 3D view (hands not actually on the screen, but midway between eye and screen).
The best thing about the cross-eyed (and parallel-eye technique) is that the natural colours are preserved, as opposed to the red/cyan views where some are lost.
I've tried with parallel viewing, that's why I thought the pictures are too large. Parallel viewing comes very easy to me but images must not be more than 2.5 to 3 inches (6 to 7 cm) apart (inter-eye distance). I couldn't get the sparks and the dragon in cross-eye view, but the other two came in quite nicely. Cross-eye viewing allows for larger pictures, the perceived 3D picture between the screen and the eyes is very small, though incredibly sharp. Parallel viewing has the objects behind the screen plane.

I've always found looking at this type of 3D image to be really easy... but one of my party pieces is that I can make my eyes go cross eyed one at a time or putting one into the cross eyed position while the other one rolls around in it's socket. :)
But coming from you David, I'd love to see one of your volumetric cloudscapes dramatically displayed in this way. :)
Thank you, well yes the original splash image rendered on my old old computer did take a while (500 hours) on this scale, with my i7 less than half an hour. Oh here are some clouds...Free_content_cloud_over_big_sur_1_3d3+crossover1.jpg750 x 375 - 310K

well I can see the paired images in perfect focus on my Android with my reading glasses on!

will not let me save photos though in the free version.

I love these images! :-) I find these MUCH better than red/cyan, especially for color images. There are always color aberrations when using red/cyan on color images. But I was one of those kids who ran around grossing people out by crossing my eyes. :lol: There does need to be something in the image that is easy to fixate on to align the images using the eye muscles. The first render of the dragon was more difficult than the rest. Once I have aligned the images, I can even move my eyes around in the image to see different parts.
I wonder if one of those old stereoscope viewers from before the days of the Vue Master could be adapted to stereoscopic viewing on a computer screen. Modern computer technologists would think it a giant leap backwards, but it might be useful in this context.
Thank you Slimer... er... Mr Spud? J? Anyway, thank you.
Well, ironically, I can't view these crossover images, so it makes it hard for me to asses. Attempts to view these results in a profound headache for me. The colour separation works very well even on cheap glasses with almost no ghosting, so maybe it's differences in the hardware/wetware that matter. All being well, we will supply this as well as the colour separation type. And since yesterday, I've also sent along a version that works with the Stereoscope.
As it happens Horo sent me over a little stereoscope device a few years ago. The drawback with my large flat screen monitors is that the image has to be 800x400 - providing two 400x400 pixel images. At the viewing distance of the stereoscope the pixels are clearly visible even on the highest resolution of my monitor. What is needed is a HD monitor only a few inches across - like a iphone screen... That would have the advantage of a small enough image and a high density of pixels per inch.
@Slimer_J_Spud - anaglyphs are the cheapest way for 3D, they are easy to get a 3D effect but have the disadvantage of colour, and if viewed without goggles look mostly not very appealing.
Cross-viewed 3D images can be beheld even without any tricks, though without 3D effect. I'm not good at cross-eying and I agree that an object that is easy to fix is of great help. Once I get it, I can also move without losing it, but I get a hefty head-ache quite soon.
Parallel viewed 3D images come very easy to me. I just defocus until the pictures merge, then focus on the 3D result. No problem of losing it, Problem is, since they must not be wider than the eye distance, they are small. There are/were cheap viewers around for prints with an optic that helped looking parallel and magnified the picture a bit. I have over 50 renders I made for parallel 3D (2 renders with the camera a bit moved), put them side by side in a new picture and had prints made of them,
3D viewing has been around since photography started, 1880 or so. They were fashionable at some time, disappeared, reappeared, etc. I think composing 3D scenes in Bryce and then view them also in 3D is fascinating.
yep, it is called a 7" Samsung Galaxy Android tab!!
like I said, clear as can be on my Andriod!!
I have a 3D map viewer somewhere along with a hard bound book full of stereo paired images (some naughty) in my abbys of a spare room.
I viewed those mostly crosseyed,
got into it after studying geography at uni before dropping out and becoming a factory shitkicker.
did a lot of stereoscopic photos of my own too!
hence the purchase this week of nVidia 3D vision glasses I am eagerly awaiting the postie to deliver!
3D visuals have always has fascinated me prob because I am deaf in one ear so stereo sound can be confusing, I do hear in stereo by turning my head but cannot place direction, often a huge issue if I hear something outside and fear an intruder.
found my book and viewer! only $3 for the book! bargain!!! forum will not let me upload imagePost edited by Wendy_Carrara on

Maybe it is me, or am I piling on when it comes to Johan Santana's shoulder injury which will require season-ending surgery?
After Santana was injured August 2, I would have expected him to have a MRI immediately and not wait a week before he tested it and found out the extent of the injury. Considering he's the Mets' most valuable pitching commodity, and how the team has handled injuries in the past, the MRI should have been performed matter-of-factly.
Sure, Santana said he was fine, but Ryan Church said he was fine, John Maine said he was fine, Jose Reyes said he was fine. Players will always say they are fine. That's part of their competitive DNA, but where did Santana go to medical school?

Shares of Merck & Co. hit a 52-week high Monday when the pharmaceutical giant outlined plans for cutting expenses by $2.5 billion and its intent to get a "rolling submission" into the U.S. Food and Drug Administration for what it sees as a promising melanoma treatment.
Merck /quotes/zigman/574389/delayed /quotes/nls/mrk MRK spiked up $2.79, or more than 5.5%, to $52.67 in recent action. The company was scheduled to present its plans at the J.P. Morgan Healthcare Conference in San Francisco later in the day.
Ahead of its presentation, Merck said in a press release that it plans to make expense reductions by 2015, with $1 billion coming by the end of 2014. Merck is using 2012 expensive levels as its gauge.
Merck also says it will submit to the FDA a regulatory application for its melanoma drug, now dubbed MK-3475. The drug is being tested in three clinical trials for treatment of advanced skin cancer. The drug received a "breakthrough therapy" designation from the FDA in April.
Merck's presentation, scheduled for 4 p.m. Pacific Time, will be part of the first of four days of talks from more than 400 companies offering pitches at the conference.
Large-cap and small-cap companies alike will be touting their wares and services, ranging from pharmaceutical retailer CVS Caremark Corp. /quotes/zigman/169740/delayed /quotes/nls/cvs CVS and drug-distribution behemoth McKesson Corp. /quotes/zigman/247413/delayed /quotes/nls/mck MCK — 13th and 14th on the Fortune 500 list — down to tiny biotechnology firm Intercept Pharmaceuticals /quotes/zigman/12230574/delayed /quotes/nls/icpt ICPT , which made a splash last week with a shocking 500% jump in shares after reporting positive test results on a liver treatment.

THANKS!
1. My Past
Rating 5/5 Word Count 1282 Review this Chapter
It was eighteen years ago since last Thursday. It was eighteen years ago that Edward Cullen had left me…again. He left me a letter on my bed after I had said goodnight downstairs. Charlie had kicked him out as usual, promptly at 9:30. That was the last time I had heard form him.
Four days later I went to their house, to see if they had really left. It was then Victoria had attacked me. Jacob and his pack rescued me. They killed Victoria. Jacob helped me through the fire in my veins for three days.
The rest of the pack left and Sam insisted that he kill me, but Jacob refused to do so. He left the pack for as long as I was there.
Somehow we were still friends. He always told me I smelled awful and I said the same thing back. We worked out the differences.
Charlie was told I fell off a cliff again and drowned. I checked on him often and toyed with the idea of telling him everything, but I didn't want to get him involved with this world.
Jacob lost control around me one day and I told him it was time for me to leave. I couldn't hurt him and neither would he. We were balancing on the point of a knife and we were about fall off; it couldn't go on.
We went our separate ways. He stayed in the La Push area and I went off to the north part of Washington.
I soon found out that I had two powers. The one I enjoyed the most was the fact that I resisted human blood, it almost repulsed me. I had not craving to drink it. It smelled the same to me as it did when I was a human, rust and slat. I sometimes even disliked drinking animal blood.
My second power was to change my appearance. It wasn't easy, but came in handy. I also still had some human qualities. I could still blush and cry. I also could remember all my memories from when I was human.
About five years after I was turned I began getting lonely. Any time I traveled I would change my appearance just to make sure no one recognized me.
I went back to high school and started in my junior year. I had some human buddies, but I never got attached.
After I decided to go to college and I wanted to make a new vampire, but I didn't want to steal an innocent life, especially one that I didn't even know.
Afterwards I went off to Alaska. I had gone through four years of college. I didn't know what I would do there. But I needed to leave Washington.
On my way there, I found two people stuck under a car. It had rolled several times and they were both unconscious. The road was deserted and there wasn't civilization for another hundred miles.
I pulled the people out of the car, one male, and one female. I carried them about two miles into the forest and changed them. I sat in the forest with two screaming humans, hoping that no one would come this way.
After three days of the painful transformation. They finally finished. The male finished first and I took that time to tell him everything. He said his name was Kyle and this was his girlfriend Maria. He was twenty and Maria was nineteen.
They were driving when they were hit by a truck and rolled over several times. He said he didn't remember much else. Maria finished about an hour later and he comforted her while I explained.
She questioned me much more than he did. When it began getting dark, I taught them how to hunt. We found four grizzly bears and a herd of elk. Their eyes were already beginning to have hints of topaz around them.
They had lived in Washington all their lives and argued with me to stay. We ended up finding a cute little house on the coast line. I wasn't lonely anymore.
We stayed away from humans for a year. We were surrounded by forest and the nearest neighbors were twenty five miles away. With my degree from college, I decided to become a doctor. I enjoyed it very much. The fact of helping people became my life.
I had a family and a life. We acted like brothers and sisters, well except they were in love. Maria and Kyle got married a year later. I had trouble not crying the entire time, not because I was happy, but because it reminded me of Edward and me. I never told them about him, I didn't think I could get through the story without balling out my eyes. I didn't keep any secrets from them except that.
After they got married we moved back closer to Forks we were only thirty two miles away form the high school.
We bought a mansion that had four bedrooms, five bathrooms, a huge kitchen, a living room twice the size of the master bedroom, and a dining room. It had a screened in porch, front and back and a Jacuzzi in the backyard. It had been sixteen years now and I was finally recovering from everything.
We were out hunting one day when we met another vampire, a new one. He had been turned about two months ago. He had a female with him. He told us that he had found her lost in the forest, when he was hunting. He started drinking her blood, but couldn't finish and he changed her. They had fallen in love.
His name was Kevin and the girl's name was Elizabeth. They were both seventeen, but could pass for younger. They had learned to drink on animals rather than humans. We invited them back with us. After about six months we learned that Elizabeth had a power too. She could sense someone emotions and change them like Jasper but she had more force.
We now had a coven of five; two couples and me. Elizabeth and Kevin married three months later. They adapted to humans nicely; resisted the desire. After a year we decided to go back to school. We could all fit in as the same age. We built up Kevin's and Elizabeth's endurance a bit more first.
Five months later, we made the decision to back to Forks High school. I figured I should tell them about the Cullens. I had been getting better about thinking about them and the story came out quite easy. I still cried at the end, but they comforted me quickly. Especially Kevin, we had become best friends, he reminded me of Jacob.
So here I sit, looking out my window; like a do every night. I think about my past, him, the Cullens, and my family. I had a long history and I remember every detail of it; human and vampire. Tomorrow we would go to Forks High School.
I would be reliving part for my past only with a new family. I was excited, but how excited could you get, it was high school. I had already gone through it twice. As I looked into the gray sky, I thought about Edward.
I wondered what he was doing, if he had met anyone else, if he somehow still loved me. I would never have those questions answered and I had to remind myself that. But as I looked out the window, I felt… like he was somewhere close.

a onelotus project
Andy Beal is one of the most honest and down to earth internet marketers around, and I'm honored to have designed his site for him, again.
v. 2
Onelotus is my web design and development portfolio. I create and implement websites, identities and web applications for both commercial and private clients alike*.
My unique view of Internet media design & development allows me to continually destroy conventionality, delivering dynamic artworks to my clients.
I conceptualize, sculpt and present artworks on the Internet for all to experience and enjoy. Belief in the ideal; "quality over quantity" allows me to strive to make each website the best it can be, this is the reason I don't produce any "run of the mill" or "cookie cutter" designs. I push the medium as far as possible while keeping an easy to use feel and functionality to my work, this important mix of uniqueness and user-friendliness is what makes my solution-fu strong.
* I'm always looking for new work, but I only accept one project at a time, so please contact me for availability.
I started creating websites as a hobby in 2001, decided to go pro in 2003, and never looked back. I enjoy what I do to a degree that could be called obsession—without exaggeration. I can't imagine doing anything else with my life. I love what I do and I believe that is exactly why I'm good at it.
I married my best friend, and together we have three sons. We all live in beautiful Middle Tennessee with a few animals and an abundance of amazing visual landscapes, seriously gorgeous here.
I love to solve problems.
My interest lies with my clients, delivering what has been requested while concurrently educating on trends and truths of Internet media.

Story cards
"Story cards" are an array of index cards used by the writers of Futurama to lay out the overview of a plot for an episode. After having laid out the basics for an episode, a writer can then be assigned to write it.
"Blue cards"
Some of these index cards are blue, thus called "blue cards" or just "the blue index cards", which contain all the often used plot devices in a Futurama episode. There is generally three blue cards; "trial", "run away" and "tour".
Due to their over usage, these blue cards have become worn with time.
The purpose of such cards is to find a way to end, begin or continue a plot. A "tour" is a good example on how to start an episode, while "trial" is a good way to continue a plot and "run away" is an example of ending a plot.

Marta Maria Perez Bravo, Albert Chong, and Mario Cravo-Neto
Through January 5, 2001
Syncretism examines the work of three contemporary artists whose photography incorporates imagery which relates to the spirituality, beliefs or ritual objects associated with Santeria and with Condomble, as the religion is known in Brazil. This African-based religion in which Yoruba deities are paired with Catholic saints, evolved in New World communities where large numbers of Yoruba people were transported as part of the slave trade. The practice provided a means to continue traditional Yoruba religious observances within the context of Catholicism and today is found throughout the Caribbean, in parts of South America, as well as major American cities.
|Each of the artists works within a studio context and is firmly rooted in postmodern practice, incorporating the strategies of installation and performance art as a means of making connections to ritual and
|symbols. Cuban artist Marta Maria Perez Bravo uses her body as a living alter, including objects associated with the orishas to concretize their symbols. Jamaican-born Albert Chong incorporates Santeria imagery as part of a larger exploration of spiritual traditions, including Rastafarian as well as personal symbolism, and as a means of investigating issues of identity. Brazilian artist Mario Cravo-Neto photographs are inspired by the drama and mystery of Condomble and its contribution to the rich cultural history of Bahia.

Weaving together engineering and technology, these service-learning courses challenge CSU students to use their academic knowledge and skills to create numerous solutions for adults and children living with a disability.
Under the direction of Dr. Samuel Landsberger, Cal State LA's rehabilitation engineering students are weaving together engineering design with biomechanics, kinesiology and physiology to create numerous solutions for rehabilitation and everyday living for disabled individuals.
Whirlwind Wheelchair International is a non-profit social enterprise based out of the Institute for Civic and Community Engagement at San Francisco State University dedicated to improving the lives of people with disabilities in the developing world. Whirlwind has established partnerships with various student organizations to promote the availability of economic and sustainable wheelchairs that are designed based on feedback from future users.
The action of throwing or kicking a ball is an enjoyable part of childhood, but for children with disabilities, participating in group games and playground activities can be challenging. Students in Dr. Farid Farahmand's Introduction to Engineering 110 class are given the assignment of developing ways to make playground fun accessible for all children.

Ideas based on my personal experiences in learning how to manage type 2 diabetes. I stress that I am a diabetic, not a doctor nor a dietician. I have no medical qualifications beyond my own experience. Nothing written here is intended as medical advice, and any ideas you may decide to use should be discussed first with your doctor.
About Me
Monday, June 29, 2009
I don't intend to make requests like this often, this is the first and only. But at this time some testimonials could be rather useful for me.
I started this blog just under three years ago. It grew from a need to find a way to archive some of the responses I was making on the ADA forum and other less active forums. I needed a way to be able to refer newly diagnosed people to some basic ideas. I found I was repeatedly typing much the same suggestions each day to each new person. As a two-finger typist that was getting to be a bit of a chore. Using the blog I could change that to a brief greeting and "please read Getting Started". Yeah, I know, I'm just lazy. But it worked and it let me write to many more people.
Slowly, it grew. I added the contents index on the side-bar because this blog is not just an occasional collection of my thoughts and opinions but also a reference source for myself and others who choose to use it that way. I recently added site-meter and was quite surprised to find that the blog is averaging 4000 different visitors a month, with 10,000 page views. One in four are repeat visitors; although the majority are from the USA, UK, Canada, Australia and New Zealand visitors have come from over 60 countries.
A number of people suggested that I should collect some of these ideas in a book intended for type 2 diabetics who do not have web access or who are uncomfortable with using the internet. I started drafting that book last Christmas, but I have found it a slow process because it is a new experience for me. This blog is the only form of published writing I have ever done; I find I am continually revising the presentation and content of the book.
However, I expect to finish it within a couple of months. Then I will need to decide whether to seek a publisher or to self-publish; another field in which I am a babe in the woods. But I can learn.
It could help a great deal if I can present a publisher with a few testimonials from past readers, or, if I self-publish, I could include those testimonials in the opening pages.
If you decide to post a comment, be aware that I will presume that in posting you are giving permission to include that comment, or a section from it, in the appropriate section of the book. I will be contacting those who have sent private emails in the past to seek their permission.
Thanks in advance,
Cheers, Alan

Alan, you have been an invaluable resource for my husband, Bob, who was diagnosed with type two last fall. We were completely ignorant about diabetes. There had never been any in either of our families and my husband is not obese and never has been. Your suggestions have been his best and easiest to access resource.
I am still exploring the idea that most of this diabetes is caused by the use of high fructose corn syrup in everything we eat.
I am presently reading a book called "The End of Overeating. Taking Control of the Insatiable American Appetite" by David A. Kessler, MD. He says the food industry is saturating everything we eat in any restaurant with salt, fat, and sugar and that is what is making Americans fat.
You should read the book. It has become an instant best seller. Evidently everyone is looking for answers.

I am one of the founders of Diabetes-support.org.uk forum and find Alan's site a never endingly useful place to point newly diagnosed diabetics where they can find excellent advice, tips for eating and other very down to earth and common sense information on diabetes. We use it as one of the resources to tack onto our own website. He has excellent knowledge of the condtion and is an expert on T2 not to mention cholesterol issues. A book would be a really useful resource for the newly diagnosed.

Hi Alan,
Yes, your site has been an excellent resource for me. I found your article on painless blood glucose monitor testing especially useful!
By applying what I've read here and on Jenny Ruhl's Blood Glucose 101 site, I've gotten my a1c down to 5.3% (from 9.5% a year ago) and am feeling better than ever!

I also have been using Alan's site as a primary source for newbies in the various newsgroups and forums I inhabit.
It makes an easy to read and easy to use antidote to the often woeful "official" advice.
- 7/09/2009 5:23 am
I've been reading Alan's work on the web for more than 5 years and have been reading his blog in particular since it was started. Alan had over the years become very knowledgeable about all aspects of type 2 diabetes in particular, with a reasonable knowledge of type 1.
His writing is well-researched, clear and written in a personal style that makes it easily understandable and allows people to relate the subject to their own situation.
Alan has helped hundreds of type 2 diabetics all over the world, some of whom he's not even aware of. His blog is used as a reference point for many, quoting his links as a way of putting forward information or simply as a way of refreshing our memories.
There are other sites which have put forward the same information, but its the style which makes Alan's work stand out. Rather than talk down to the reader, Alan's personal viewpoint and experience come across as a "real" person who has experienced these things and worked to understand them for himself.
I don't hesitate to recommend his writing to any diabetic (although if he is on the same forum, I wait for him to post links instead ;) )

Your blog and contributions to the ADA forum inspired me to start researching diabetes and become both an advocate for my health and after seeing the results I got following your suggestions I have gotten active spreading the message. If only the CDE's would read what you have written, it would save toes!
If you need someone to proofread your book I am willing to help in any way you need.
Good Luck on writing the book!
- 7/16/2009 2:48 am
I can't wait for Alan's book. As someone involved with UK diabetes forums I know first-hand that good sensible unpatronising down-to-earth peer advice is invaluable. It is no understatement to say it saves lives.
T2s face much conflicting and confusing information. Newly diagnosed or long-standing, many follow generalised medical guidance in hope and expectation and end up despairing at their lack of control. The sense of isolation doesn't help. Often the catalyst to very significant improvement is the availability of peer experience.
To this end I regularly recommended Alan's excellent blogs as a prime source of information, hope and inspiration. Based on extensive research, but delivered in an accessible non-judgemental way, they are a world-class resource. Little wonder, then, that Alan is trusted and admired across the globe.
As a book it would certainly rank among the top-three "must-have" works I'd suggest to any T2. As far as I'm concerned, it can't arrive soon enough for the benefit of many many more diabetics.
- 7/18/2009 12:07 am
When I was first diagnosed as a Type 2, your site was one of the first I found. For me it was the first time I felt as though I had a "friend" to walk me through the first shock of diagnosis and then getting on with living in a positive manner. You have a real talent in distilling information and also conveying a upbeat "take control of your life" attitude. I would suspect you have no idea how many people you have helped.
Keep the Blog up and write the book !
Best, Bob Miller.

Hello Alan
Yes! Definitely continue blogging. I have many blogs in my reader as I'm sure you do but yours wasn't one of them, at least not until today. I was looking for something to explore on the computer and opened my diabetes related folder. There it was, "Alan's diabetes website." I had put it into the favorites probably a year and a half ago with few visits since. The reason for this is I check the ADA message boards and you are a frequent and valued contributor there. I thought I was getting enough of Alan.
So what prompted me to pay this visit today? It was the very fact that you are a valued resource for all matters related to diabetes and I enjoy reading blogs. I thought I would learn something today and I did. I got a real chuckle out of the St Swithun's Day Lancet Change. Yes, I too am one of those "when it starts to hurt I'll change it" types.
I also have enjoyed your travel notes and the posts related to tight control of D.
So keep it up Alan. Blogging is only going to become more popular and you have it mastered already.
- 7/24/2009 8:14 am
Alan, your's was one of the very first greetings I received at the ADA website about three years ago when I was officially diagnosed as "Diabetic" and turned out into the big, confusing world without enough guidance. Your blog was warm and humorous and EXTREMELY helpful. You addressed the basic issues in a straightforward way. I have learned so very much under your teaching.
As you helped me understand, diabetes is a personal disease and what works for one person may not work for another. Your steady guiding back to "test, adjust, test" has been invaluable. I read your posts on the ADA forum and marvel at the amount of time and effort you (and many others) donate to help us "newbies" find our way.
I think your blog published in book form would have wide appeal and help even more people. Go for it - it would be excellent!!
Elisse Meier
- 7/28/2009 11:31 am
Alan, your blog and precise instructions to me on the ADA board have been the basis for my trip to controlling my BG. Your forthright feedback has served me well and I wish that all the forums had a link to your blog. Many misconceptions I read on forums could be corrected!
My sincere thanks for your sharing spirit :-)
- 8/09/2009 10:38 am
Thank you, Alan, for your wonderfully readable, and very useful, tips for traveling with diabetes. I was diagnosed with type 2 diabetes about four months ago. I have been deep into learning to live with the diabetes but was afraid my global nomad days were over because it would just be too complicated. You've given me hope, and concrete tips, for resuming travel both by car and by air. I will definitely be following your blog in the future. Travel on!
- 8/13/2009 10:19 am
Alan you have helped me understand how to deal with diabetes. I have some questions because my management team said my blood sugar goals should be <120 before a meal; <180 2 hrs after a meal; <140 at bedtime. Is it too high or is it right? Ann
- 10/23/2009 9:51 am

Hello Ann
I am afraid that those targets appear a little high to me. You will see more detailed comments on blood glucose targets in these two posts:

Test, test, test
Cheers, Alan
- 10/23/2009 1:07 pm
Thanks Alan, I thought they were high too. I don't understand what is happening to me because I can eat the same thing two different days and one day will test at 114 after an hour of a meal with 30 carbs and the next day eating and testing the same time my bg will be 197. I am trying to do everything right and I'm learning so much from you. Thanks for your help. I don't have any one else to ask. Ann

Hi Alan,
I was diagnosed three months ago, and have been learning as I go. I was gestationally diabetic with my last two pregnancies so I knew it was coming, but hoping it wouldn't. Now that I have it, I am dealing with it and trying to do my part to get better and control my blood glucose levels. I found your comment on the ADA Forum about the Dr. Julian Whitaker whom I had inadvertantly stumbled onto, and wanted to know if my instincts about him were true, and to my way of thinking they were, he's a quack. But, I found your suggestions of Jenny Ruhl and Gretchen Becker's books sound and good advice. I have them on order now and am anxiously awaiting their arrival. Thank you for offering their books and I'm glad I found you and others battling this same disease. It's nice to know that we are not alone, and it's great to get advice and encouragement from those like yourself who have the experience that we newly diagnosed need so much!
Lari from Texas!

Your words of advice have been kind, forthright, humorous and full of real-life information. I am SO grateful that you were there as a resource on the ADA boards from my very first "pre-diabetic" question. With your firm encouragement and the others on the board, I bought myself a glucose meter, used it almost painlessly from the beginning and knew just what to aim for as I adjusted my diet and life. Without your comments, I think I might have gone for years without making any significant changes in my lifestyle until it was almost too late. My doctor now says I am the most successful patient she has ever had at changing her life for the better, and you were really the one responsible for that.

Hi Alan, I have been searching to find someone who can help me. I read your blog. It would make an excellent book for everyone with diabetes. When you write your book, I still hope you will keep adding to your blog.
I was diagnosed with diabetes 12 years ago. They did the test to rule it out. I had none of the symptoms. I do not know how long I had it before they tested me.
I am allergic to all of the medicines. I am on diet and exercise. The diet part is not easy. That is my main problem.
Google got my name wrong. I am Ruth Brown. It is nice to meet you Alan. I will be coming here often.

Hi, just stumbled across this blog, i am in the UK and am awaiting a glucose tolerance test due to elevated bg levels.
I recently bought a bg monitor and this blog has helped me understand the readings, i thought that because my levels were coming down after meals it was ok for them to go high.. apparently not, weetabix and a small slice of wholemeal toast gave me a reading of 198, i now realise i need to avoid these foods and try to keep them steady. I will prob go back to my low carb way of life, this is an experiment.. thanks for clearing things up.. Marilyn

Alan's posts in the ADA message boards and his perceptive comments in this blog have helped me a great deal in coping with the beast.Thanks

Hi Alan, have you started writing your book? You have given me invaluable information.
I have started exercising more. The last 2 days I have walked 4 miles and plan to keep it up.
- 5/26/2010 9:23 am
Wow!, I've just stumbled upon your site! What amazing information! I'd always had a problem with high BS levels in the morning, also with exercising. I hadn't had any insite from the clinic or Dr. I'd never heard of Dawn Phenonomen. Also I'd never heard of anyone else having trouble after exercising. I'm so glad to see that I'm not this anomoly. What a help you've been. Thank you so much. I've been on Metformin for 8 yrs. had no problems and for the past month I've been suffering with stomach nasea and diarreha. My Dr. said recent studies have shown that Metformin can cause those types of side effects even if you've been taking it for years. He told me to come of the Metformin and see him in 2 wks. So I did for one week and my BM's were normal. But my BS Levels went really high like 17! So one night I took my normal dose of Metformin and ended up having a very intense reaction... back to the stomach nausea,lower abdominal pain, diarreha etc. I missed work... so I wont be going back on it! However I still have to wait a week to see the Dr. as he's away. A bit concerned at this point, but you've given me some very sensible diet information that I will now try to control my BSL with while I wait to go back to the DR. Thank you.

HI Alan. I just stumbled upon your site on the Dlife forum. I guess you or someone responded to a post with a link to your site. Wow! What an amazing info filled site! I've been Diabetic for 10 yrs, on Metformin for 8 yrs, on slow release insulin at night for 6 months. And never have I seen better information Thank you!
For the past 1 1/2 months I've experienced stomach nausea and watery bowel movements. Went to the Dr. to check out what I thought was a reaccuring ulcer problem...Dr. suggested it could be a reaction to Metformin? I wasn't sure, but decide to go with him on this for a period to 2 wks. Came off the metformin and within 24 hrs no nausea or dirreha? My BS obviously went up (17mmol) So after a wk decided to take my normal dosage of Metformin one night...within 6 hrs I was in extreme discomfort! intense nausea, and sever and I mean sever diarreha all night! So, now I'm convinced it is a reaction to the Met. Unfortunately, my Dr. is away and I can't get to see him for another wk. but you can be sure I wont take another Met. But, thankfully I've read a multitude of information and diet advise which I will be using to bring down my BS levels. I've never understood my FBSL (fasting blood sugar levels) as they have always been high upon waking and morning exercise. Dietitians,Clinics, Dr.'s etc. have never been able to explain it to me. Until I read about "dawn phenonemon" on your site? You've made me realize that I'm not such an anomaly as I thought! If you have any insight on my sudden Metformin reaction, please let me know. Thanks for your down to earth lay persons language approach on this terrible disease so many of us unfortunately share.
- 6/18/2010 2:46 pm
Bonita, that is what I like about Alan's website. His language is down to earth. He makes it so we can understand and learn. I have learned from Alan and I think everyone else has.
- 6/19/2010 8:09 am
I have gained a lot from reading Alan's posts, especially about how to interpret BG readings and what targets to set. His practical posts about seemingly simple things like when to take readings after meals and how to do the tests with minimal pain are also very valuable and written from a layman's perspective.
I have also found him very responsive to queries that are a bit too specific to post on general websites such as these and would be fascinated to read any book he cooses to write on this subject.

Contact us for information about using this image.
There is currently no available "Beginner" label. The following is the default level label: This coal wagon was photographed in South Deerfield, Massachusetts, at the main receiving station for the town of Deerfield. South Deerfield's station became the stopping point for a number of freight trains, and this man probably was waiting for a delivery of coal. The first coal was discovered in America in 1701, and the first American mining of coal began in 1748. Coal was used for home heating in New England until the mid-1960s.
This photograph comes from the Howes Brothers collection of photographs. The Howes Brothers, based in Ashfield, Massachusetts, made more than 20,000 images of New England rural life from 1890 to around 1910, offering a glimpse into the lives of people rarely visible in history.

The origins of our coping mechanisms when we're stressed (and why we can blame our parents).

text: Martin Grelle lives with his wife, Terri, and their children near the small, Central Texas town of Clifton, just a few miles from where he was born. Rich in beauty and history, the area has become a mecca for artists, which is one reason why the artist has spent his whole life there. Many of his closest friends are artists, and they gather to see each other s work, exchange ideas, and just "shoot the breeze". Grelle treasures the camaraderie among these artist friends and the rare opportunity it affords him. Grelle s work reaches far beyond his Texas home conveying the spirit, drama, beauty and vastness of the American West. Whether painting a Native American in a dramatic setting or a working cowboy on the range, he captures the essence of the West in his historically-accurate, picturesque, peaceful, yet compelling, images. He enjoys the Cowboy Artists of America s trail ride each year, and manages to spend some time occasionally working cattle with local friends. He is proud of the Native American part of his ancestry and studies diligently to portray their culture accurately and sensitively. Grelle is able to take even the most mundane daily task and elevate it to a new level in each painting. This is particularly true in Peaceful Morn as the pair pause to allow the horse to drink. Grelle captures them in the most intimate and dramatic setting, giving it all an overwhelming sense of peace. Sometimes he adds a note of humor as in Offering to the River Spirit where the Asparoke are indeed giving an offering, but rather than offering a piece of their own finery, they are offering the River Spirit something captured from an enemy tribe something special, but not integral to their own existence. Grelle began painting at an early age. With the guidance of Western artists James Boren and Melvin Warren, both of whom settled in the Clifton area while he was in high school, Grelle was able to become a full-time artist in his early 20s. Since that time, he has studied, traveled widely, and sought subject matter throughout the American West. Working primarily in oils on canvas, Grelle marries his figures with the landscape in a painterly style rich in vibrant color. Grelle has been profiled in many publications, including Southwest Art, American Cowboy, Art of the West, Western Horseman, The Equine Image, Art Talk, Persimmon Hill, and InformArt. His work has also been featured on the covers of several magazines and on various historical novels published by the University of Nebraska Press. Elected to the Cowboy Artists of America in 1995, Grelle is one of the youngest active members and won the People s Choice Award at the CAA exhibition in October 2002. Grelle s painting, Teller of Tales, received the top award at the 2002 Prix de West Invitational held at the National Cowboy and Western Heritage Museum in Oklahoma City and was chosen for inclusion in the museum s permanent collection. The artist is represented by Overland Gallery of Fine Art in Scottsdale, Arizona, where he has enjoyed one-man shows each March since 1989. Quote: "I thank God for the ability and the opportunities He has given me, and I hope I can continue to grow and learn more with each finished painting. I am honored by everyone who collects my work, and I will always strive to create artwork worthy of their attention and their investment."

"The Ten-Tails' Jinchūriki: Obito" (十尾の人柱力・オビト, Jūbi no Jinchūriki: Obito) is chapter 638 of the original Naruto manga.
The shinobi watch on in confusion as the Ten-Tails vanishes from the battlefield. As the shinobi sought answers, Hiashi watched on with his Byakugan, and Sakura asked Hinata, what she had seen. It is revealed that Obito, had in fact initiated a sealing technique, which allowed him to absorb the Ten-Tails into himself, making him the beast's new jinchūriki. Emerging in his new form, Naruto goes on to confirm that Obito was able to resist Madara's control and had instead been using a different technique than the one to revive him. Meanwhile, Killer B confirms with Gyūki that the Ten-Tails had not reached its final form but had instead been sealed within Obito. Hashirama then attempts to restrain Obito, but Obito's new power proves too much for the technique which had been restraining the beast itself prior. In response, Obito generates four chakra arms, and then proceeds to rip apart the barrier erected by the four Hokage. Upon seeing this, Hashirama warns the other shinobi of Obito's power while Minato pleads for Obito to stop which is responded to by Obito sounding out his own name with some confusion. As the three other Hokage relocate to where Obito is, Hashirama openly declares that Obito is stronger than he, which both Hiruzen and Tobirama affirm. As Madara prepares his own "trump card" hoping that Obito did not notice him before then. While the Hokage discussed the situation, Obito takes the First and Second by surprise, ripping through their bodies.
- To commemorate the 45th anniversary of Weekly Shōnen Jump, a Naruto: Colour Edition edition of this chapter was published as an exclusive for the premium digital issue of Weekly Shōnen Jump 2013 #33 and the official English release of the chapter.

I HIGHLY RECOMMEND this apartment!!The apartment is about 10-15 minutes from Dubrvonik and the location is beautiful. The bay is so peaceful, I loved it in comparison to the hustle and bustle of all the tourists in the Old town. There is a supermarket right at the end of the street of the apartment, which is super convenient. Lukrecia is an AMAZING host! If I could give this apartment and Lukrecia more than 5 stars I would! She picked us up from the aiport, we had refreshments at the apartment waiting for us (she even bought us wine to celebrate my sister's birthday)! Lukrecia was extremely professional, I felt like I was staying at a hotel. She had taken the time to find all the maps and tourist guides for the various excursions you can take while visiting Dubrovnik and a good map of the old city. Public transporation is easily accesible, and Lukrecia even had a timetable ready and printed for us. She explained how to use the public transport and locations for drop off and pick up in the old city. Lukrecia also gave great recommendations for eating out and reliable tour agencies. The apartment was perfect. Walking into the apartment was a breath of fresh air. It is beautifully decorated, everything is new and well-maintained...and the view is WOW! We ate breakfast outdoors everyday! Lukrecia was available at all times to respond to any questions I had and was very prompt in her replies. I really appreciate an Air BnB host that really cares about their guests. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND this apartment!
You must book Lukrecia wonderful flat !!!!!!!What can i say ? If you search a wonderful flat with an astonishing view on Adriatic sea, go there ! You will feel as if you were at home. Beautiful decoration, strong bed, big bathroom, great sofa to lay in front of TV, beautiful terrace to take breakfast, lunch, appetizer or diner or simply spending time dreaming in front of the sea ! But the best was not written yet ... The best is your host : Lukrecia. She is really kind and proactive. We had an issue with the toaster and she immediately came to bring à new one. I asked her where i could eat in Dubrovnik and she sent me by WhatsApp à large list of restaurants. She seems to be connected on internet at every time So you can rely on her and her will to transform your stay in Zaton in à great moment... There is no shadow of doubt : it is not an eventuality to visit Lukrecia, you must book her flat ! I refund you if you are not happy with your stay in Lukrecia's flat. PS : wonderful place to stay outside the agitation of Dubrovnik but very close to this city ... Just below of the house, there is à supermarket which is very useful and a nice harbour with nice restaurant and beautiful places to swim..."
Outstanding apartment !Lukrecia as well as her place are outstanding ! The apartment is perfectly furnished, has an exceptional view on the sea, is spacious, very well decorated, and very clean. It is 10 min from Dubrovnick but in a quiet place with a supermarket and restaurants very close ! In short, the best place to be for visiting the area. Regarding our host, she did all possible to make our stay pleasant and to help us in anything. Thank you very much Lukrecia for your kindness, your are exceptional !
Outstanding apartmentOur experience with the Bellevue apartments and Lukrecia was outstanding. The apartment was immaculate, tastefully designed, and had a beautiful view overlooking the Adriatic Sea just a few hundred feet away. Lukrecia took many extra steps make our visit special, including booking a day long cruise to three islands and transportation whenever needed. Her communication was exceptional. We would stay here again any time and highly recommend it to anyone wishing to enjoy the southern Croatian coast without the crowded, bustling conditions of downtown Dubrovnik.
Lukrecia is a great host !Lukrecia is a great host. She is very communicative and available, she answered before and during our stay very quickly. The brand new flat is really wonderful, I think pictures cannot reflect the harmony and the beauty of the apartment. My 10-years old son rated the accomodation with 100 stars. We loved every minute of our stay. The beds in the bedrooms are super comfortable and new, you can relax very well. The bedrooms are very silent, you cannot hear anything from traffic noise. The kitchen is well equipped for making your breakfast, or dinner easily. Dubrovnik is about 10-15 minute drive, no traffic jam, and you can enjoy same nice beaches nearby.
I would come again! Thank you, Lukrecia!"
What a beautiful apartment!Conveniently located 5 minutes from Dubrovnik, we had an extremely pleasant stay. The terrace offers stunning views of the bay and enjoys all the comforts. Photos perfectly reflect the quality of it and Lukrecia, our host, was very helpful and very high availability. She is concerned for the welfare of his guests and takes the time to advise tour of the region. We will return with pleasure and can only advise : you will not be disappointed !!!
Amazing apartment!!We spend 9 nights at Apartment Bellevue in Zaton. The appartment is simply amazing! Fully equipped 3-rooms house with kitchen, TV, air-condition and incredible view to the Sea. Many towels (incl. sea ones), cot, slippers, satellite, instant coffee, ingredients such a salt, sugar and other illustrates how pleasurable we fell. The terrace is spacious and everything was 100% clean. The house is ideal for families. Zaton is a small village close to Dubrovnik with 3-4 small stone beaches around the gulf. Beaches are not crowdy here at all. The water is quiet and you can rent a boat (by yourself or organized) for a trip to the islands nearby. The shop is located just below the appartment, Sea approx. 300 m of nice walk. At the coast there are affordable restaurants with very good food. There are no parties or disco in Zaton, so the village is quiet. To discover this you shall go to Dubrovnik (8 km to the city centre). Old Town trip is a must for all visitors. Lukrecia as a host was extremely helpful and polite, she brought us a small gift at the beginning and also at the end of our stay. Once we needed something, she was always at our disposal and she also recommended us several sightseeing trips which are usually not included in the common guide. Communication with Lukrecia prior our arrival was very correct and accurate. Only an absolute recommendation can be applied here! Thank you Lukrecia! :) Tomas, Jane & Annie"

"Communicating To Win" with Bob Paff on CBS Radio 105.7 The Fan
Bob Paff specializes in motivating professional businesses and their sales staff with building Relationships by communicating effectively and treating everyone as people first and not just prospects. Bob is a clean cut professional family guy with passion for helping people succeed. I've attached a pic of Bob for reference.
Professional Services: Hospitals, Law Firms, Insurance Agencies, Educational Institutions, Associations etc.
These a mid to large sized companies or organizations that need a refreshing perspective of how to communicate with people in today's competitive marketplace by putting a little fire and direction up their mostly middle aged professional staff to help pull the company forward by increasing their efforts, desire and ability to bring in more business.
Looking for a clean,crisp, linear, professional logo that will be used to alert web visitors about Bob Paff's radio show to be placed both on the CBS site links, our home page and other collateral materials.
Therefore, it should be more rectangular in shape to accommodate print space & web layout flow.
It should contain the following information:
"Communicating To Win" with Bob Paff
7-8am ON CBS RADIO
105.7 The FAN
I have provided some images for the Radio show station logo to get inspiration from as well as some CBS logos as well. I would like to use the branding power of the CBS symbol.
Our site colors are a Ralph Lauren Blue and a maroon. I've attached a .eps file of our site logo and an image file to get the basic colors we like. However I am open to some variation.
Now for the creative, please suggest any other visuals for the logo that may speak to the theme and name of the show "Communicating to Win"
I like the radio signal broadcast I have attached for inspiration...there's even one where the signals are words.... but I rely on your professional ability to articulate our message and professional look through your skills as a graphic designer and artist ....and am open to your creativity.

Straddling his bike and beaming a smile, the late John Breaux is once again waving at residents in downtown Louisville.
A life-size bronze statue of Breaux was unveiled Saturday morning by the John Breaux Memorial Committee and city officials to commemorate the one-year anniversary since the beloved Louisville resident died after being struck by a car.
"I just want to say that yes, his hands were that big, his feet were a size 13, and his heart was big beyond measure," sculptor Dawn Record said to the more than 100 friends, family, and community members in attendance.
Louisville Mayor Chuck Sisk led the gathering in a moment of silence before beginning the ceremony, which took place in a small park at the east end of Main Street. Members of Breaux's family were in attendance, along with city officials and members of the memorial committee set up after Breaux's death.
"John was such a simple, caring person," Jay Keany, chair of the memorial committee, told the audience. "He just took care of everyone, and I hope that this statue will remind all of us that we can all make a difference in this community."Photos
Breaux, 57, was remembered by those gathered for his random acts of kindness and the friendly waves he gave while riding his bike to pick up trash around east Boulder County.
He was killed when 63-year-old Mary Jo Thomas' car swerved into him on the side of U.S. 287 just north of South Boulder Road in Lafayette.
Elaine Rangel, 67, said she became good friends with Breaux after seeing him frequently wave to her as he rode past her house.
"He used to leave little stuffed toys on my car, and candy and stuff, and I come to find out he did that for everybody," she said. "He was everybody's John."
The memorial ended with a slideshow of Breaux in the library across the street, but many gathered around to share personal memories of their friend.
"I've known John for a long time," said Mayor Sisk, recalling an instance when they each had pictures of themselves hanging on the "Faces of Louisville" wall at the Empire Lounge & Restaurant. "He said, 'See Mr. Mayor, I'm right up there with you,' and I said, 'No John, you're way ahead of me.'"
Breaux moved to Louisville in 2000 to live with his brother, David Bright, after their father died. At the time, he was taking medication for paranoid-schizophrenia, according to Bright, but his acts of kindness fully blossomed when he stopped.
"He wasn't sleeping all day, and he had energy, and that's pretty much where it started," said Bright. "Each year it got bigger and bigger."
Following Breaux's death last year, community members raised close to $35,000 for the memorial fund by collecting donations in water jugs at businesses around Louisville, according to city spokeswoman Meredyth Muth. More than half of the money went to the memorial, while some went to Breaux's funeral and burial costs.
Record, the memorial's sculptor, donated her time to construct the statue.
"I crossed paths with (Breaux) regularly, and went out of my way to talk to him," Record said. "I used to give him rides when it was cold out because I worried."
She molded parts of the sculpture on personal belongings found with Breaux when he was struck, including his watch, necklace chain and his bike.
"The statue looks just like him," said Bright, looking at the memorial. "The sparkly eyes, a big old hand -- the first thing I did was put my hand up there to measure it, and it's just spot on."
