It has been well over a year since I've last updated this website, but boy do I have some great news for you all. In my time away from posting and wading through life I have learned a great deal of new things about Tinea Versicolor treatment that I have to tell you all about. If you've read my other posts about treating Tinea Versicolor you would know that I am a huge advocate of treating things the natural way, if possible. Sometimes there is truly a need for compounds and prescriptions in order to treat disease and illness. In prior circumstances, I don't think I would have considered using a compound such as ketoconazole, but a certain curse on men changed that. If you're wondering what that curse may be, yes, you guessed it right. Hair loss.
You might be wondering where the two connect. If you don't know how hair loss or hair thinning works then keep reading. For now let's get back to my story.
Ketoconazole For Tinea Versicolor AND Hair Loss? How I Discovered It.
I was about 20 years old at the time I was first asked whether or not I had male pattern baldness that ran in my family. I was driving down the street and stopped my car to talk to my neighbor. He is known to be a generally outspoken guy so the first thing he says to me, "Dude, are you going bald?". Those 5 words stuck like glue to my brain for the rest of the day, "How dare he" I thought. "I'm not going bald! I have a full head of blonde hair, you're the one who's bald buddy!" (funny enough my neighbor is bald). For the duration of that day all I could ask my parents was "Mom, Dad, do I look like i'm going bald?" they said "No honey, your hair looks fine." Relief, or so I thought. The reality was my hair was thinning and I was in complete denial thereon. The next time I was called out on my thinning hair was when my brutally honest uncle came down to visit. Everyone's got at least one crazy uncle in their family so you all know what I'm talking about.
This time, I wasn't asked if I was going bald. My uncle just flat out said "Hey dude, looks like you're getting a bit thin up top!". Once again, my inner being was crushed and the only thing I could do was shrug it off! My uncle is pretty much bald so he was more than happy to let me know that I was going to be in his position some day too. I told myself, that was it! I was going to find a solution to my hair thinning if it was the last thing I do. I did the minoxidil thing and drinking green tea, blah blah blah. Anybody losing their hair knows exactly the things I'm talking about, but hey! You get desperate to try anything. In my search to cure my hair loss, I found an interesting study about an anti-fungal compound known as Ketoconazole. Believe it or not, it did not occur to me that I had actually written about Ketoconazole for Tinea Versicolor on this very website!
A Study On Hair Loss And How Ketoconazole Could Help
What I found in this study, was that Ketoconazole actually was found to stimulate hair growth in mice! If you don't know how most hair loss works then I will try to give you a brief summary now. In my case and for almost all men suffering from hair loss or male pattern baldness, the reason our follicles stop producing hair is known as "Androgenic alopecia". To summarize, the hair follicles are attacked by a hormone produced by our bodies known as DHT or Dihydrotestosterone. It is not known why, but these hormones attach to the follicles in the tops of our head that basically slowly kill the hair follicles until they do not produce any more hair. This process is known as miniaturization. Hair loss can be a result of other conditions so it is important to see your dermatologist to determine what could be the cause of your hair loss.
I hope that gave you a bit of an understanding on how certain hair loss occurs. Check out the links I've provided above if you need further insight. Once again, the type of hair loss I described above is most common in men and may not be the same reason for your own thinning.
How I Discovered RegenePure
So as soon as I read the possible effects of Ketoconazole on Androgenic alopecia, I went and purchased a bottle of RegenePure as fast as I could. For those unaware, RegenePure is a topical shampoo that contains a 1% solution of ketoconazole and other goodies in it that will treat your hair follicles right. RegenePure is the only topical shampoo I know of that has no harmful chemicals like Sodium laureth sulfate or Parabens. Another great thing I like in particular about RegenePure is that all of their products have been tested on humans only! So I applaud them for being friendly to not only our scalps but our animal friends too. You can see in another one of my posts that I DO NOT promote taking any sort of anti-fungal medication internally because of some of the harmful effects it has on your health. With regenepure it is a topical shampoo containing 1% Ketoconazole that you can use on your head or your entire body as a body wash. I have had absolutely zero negative side effects from using it and you probably won't either. As with anything recommended on this site, consult your doctor before trying any product listed on this website. For the past year I have been using regenepure about every other day. I'd like to think that in conjunction with a healthier diet and lifestyle that I have slowed down my hair loss a bit. However the main thing I found that was so beneficial in using this shampoo was that it had absolutely nuked my Tinea Versicolor. I had in the past struggled to fight it and as you can see on this website have learned many different ways to combat Tinea Versicolor. When I started using regenepure the fight was over. Folks, I am not kidding when I say that if you are truly struggling with Tinea Versicolor, then you absolutely need to try this product. I do not have one single discolored blotch on my skin anymore and I am so excited about this that I had to come back and write a gigantic post on it.
BEFORE YOU BUY: Be sure and order ONLY RegenePure DR. The other version known as RegenePure NT is just a volumizing conditioner that DOES NOT contain 1% Ketoconazole. So remember, before you buy make sure you are purchasing the correct one! The key ingredient is 1% Ketoconazole!
If you're still not convinced, let's look at some of the benefits Ketoconazole shampoo has to offer.
Benefits Of Ketoconazole Shampoo For Fungal Conditions
Many people have been successful in using a ketoconazole shampoo for Tinea Versicolor. The reason it is such an effective treatment for so many fungal conditions is because it kills the fungi before it can become an infectious disease! Personally I use Ketoconazole for Tinea Versicolor but others have treated fungal infections such as Jock's itch, Athlete's foot, Ring worm, Seborrheic dermatitis, dandruff, and the list goes on. If you are suffering from a fungal infection, it can likely be remedied using a topical ketoconazole application. I personally have not stopped using Regenepure, even though I have been free of Tinea Versicolor for quite some time. As I mentioned before I use it as a potential hair loss treatment and really I think it just works to keep any form of fungal infections away. I go the gym often where people sweat and contact is made easily by shared equipment so it is a big deal for me to consistently use a ketoconazole shampoo for tinea versicolor. These types of shampoos I feel do a very good job in preventing fungal infections. For people who are often suffering from yeast infections, ketoconazole shampoo could be exactly what you need to keep the problems away. Remember the over production of yeast living on our body is largely what causes any fungal condition, so playing it safe and using a shampoo like this could save you a lot of pain and suffering later. When I first noticed I had Tinea Versicolor I never really paid much attention to it until it was full-blown out of control and looked terrible. I know how awful it is to look at yourself and not be happy with what you see, this fungal condition makes it so much worse so take a stand and get yourself some RegenePure DR!
Why Ketoconazole May Not Be For You
You may be like me when I first started trying to treat my own case of Tinea Versicolor. Desperate and wanting to treat it as naturally as possible. If you are one of those people who are not interested in trying an anti-fungal medication and would prefer more natural alternatives, than ketoconazole may not be for you. If you do not care and just want your Tinea Versicolor gone, then grab some regenepure right now! Something else I should note is that I am not recommending ketoconazole be taken internally. Quite frankly, the idea of taking these are pretty terrifying to me personally. In my opinion, the tablet version of ketoconazole which is to be taken orally should be regarded as a completely last ditch effort for Tinea Versicolor treatment. The side effects of this drug can be dangerous and it has been known to be linked to hepatic toxicity and even deaths. For men, ketoconazole taken orally can have detrimental effects on the endocrine system which can hinder serum testosterone production if not completely shut it down. It is known that a dosage of 800mg a day can impair testosterone and at 1600mg can completely abolish it. Although the dosage will never be that high if prescribed, I would take some serious consideration into whether or not you should go this route. The ketoconazole shampoo often times can be a great form of treating Tinea Versicolor. When applied topically it is not uncommon for the condition to be cleared within days. The good thing about ketoconazole in the form of a shampoo is that it is not known to be systemically absorbed. In other words, it does not absorb into the skin and make its way into the blood stream. Shampoo with ketoconazole does have possible side effects which can be irritation, swelling, stinging and redness of the skin. If you are currently using ketoconazole shampoo and experiencing these side effects, notify your doctor as soon as possible. Always remember to follow any directions associated with this shampoo and apply as directed. If you apply more then necessary, chances of ill side effects are increased.
How I Apply Ketoconazole Shampoo For Tinea Versicolor
I generally apply the regenepure shampoo in the shower after I've had a workout. I go to the gym almost every day so as a preventative measure I personally use it whenever I've gone to the gym. Everyone's preference will vary, if you are on a budget then you may just want to apply the shampoo every other day until the Tinea Versicolor has gone.
If you do not want to apply the shampoo to your head, then just go ahead and use it as a body wash and leave it on for 10 minutes. Remember though if you just apply it to your body you will not get the benefits on your scalp. So if you are suffering from dandruff keep this in mind.
Keep the ketoconazole on yourself as long as you can. If you start to feel any discomfort then immediately wash it off. Most users with only leave it on for 3-5 minutes and that is also what is recommended on regenepure's directions. Although I said above to leave it on for 10 minutes, do what suits you best.
My Solely Recommended Ketoconazole Shampoo For Tinea Versicolor
As you read above, I suggest nothing but using RegenePure. An 8 oz. bottle of this stuff will last you quite a long time if you use it correctly and it should help with any fungal condition you may have. Many other ketoconazole containing products can be very harsh on our skin and can result in some pretty bad irritation. It's not necessarily because of the ketoconazole itself but rather all the other harsh ingredients that the shampoos or creams contain. The application of this product is very easy and the results will blow you away. I recommend a lot of other products on this website but this shampoo for Tinea Versicolor is by far the best. Plus, if you decided to use it as a shampoo, you may even notice your hair becoming a bit thicker. Well, at least that's the hope! You can check out RegenePure DR on Amazon by clicking the link below.
I just want to say that I am glad to be back posting again! I have so much more information for you guys that I can't wait to share with you all. If you made it this far, I just want to congratulate you for the massive read and hope you have nothing but success with this product.

I love martial arts, I really do, but there are so many styles that it gets confusing and complicated. It becomes difficult to keep them all straight. Some are highly effective, some have become sports and some are very unique. However they all have a basis or history of self-defense. All martial arts are meant to be for self-defense. I'm going to attempt to make understanding each style easier for those who may not have watched kung fu movies as a child or are slightly nerdy when it comes to history. I'm going to go through as many styles as I can, give a brief history, style overview, yada, yada, yada. This is beneficial to me because some styles I don't know much more about them than their name and reputation. Oh yes, martial art styles get reputations.
Let's start with one that most people have all heard of: Kung fu!
I love kung fu. I watched bad kung fu movies as a child with my older brothers. Bad refers to plot lines and dialogue. My second oldest brother in particular loved the genre. I remember sitting in his room watching terrible dub jobs in black and white. We also enjoyed the good ones too, like Jackie Chan and Bruce Lee. Even though the movies were silly at times, there was some awesome variety and technique going on. Realistic? Not really. Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon, anyone? As my Chinese friend told me,"No, Chinese people cannot fly."
Kung Fu is an all encompassing term for a style of fighting originating in China. (Wushu is also another all encompassing term but in Mandarin.) Kung Fu has many styles or schools of thought. For example, a student can learn Wing Chun, or Hung gar, etc. (there are more than two schools btw) The differences will be found in the philosophy behind the techniques and how the moves are executed. Sometimes even small details can define one school of kung fu from another. Like the movement of a hand or placement of a foot in a particular stance. Wing Chun was developed by a woman and has fast rapid successive movements like a machine gun. In stead of one punch, three would be given. The stances are light on the feet and make for easy movement. It also utilizes lots of open handed techniques. This is an effective style for those who do not have a lot of bulk. Hung gar is very grounded, it's the tank of kung fu. Learning how to ground fight or grapple is a core aspect of the style. As are closed-fist techniques. A wide legged and low squat stance known as "horse stance" is huge in hung gar.
A common theme in kung fu is hard techniques and soft techniques. This refers to the force behind an attack or defense. A soft block is usually open-handed and deflective. Its all about using as little energy as possible. This can include whip-like movements. A hard block is rigid muscles and grounded stances. The muscles are set and hard, hence a hard technique. This stems from the yin-yang philosphy that opposites are complementary and both must be utilized to be effective. Opposites can strengthen each other.
Another aspect of kung fu is blending attacks and blocks. An attack or a block can be well defined. An upward block would deflect or stop an opponent's fist from making contact with your head. A forward punch would attack a face or ribs. As training goes on in kung fu, the lines tend to blur, ideally where an upward block would have so much force it would actually hurt an opponent. The forward punch would become a block from an inward strike. Thus your fighting becomes so much more effective. A fight could be ended in one move. That is the goal of self-defense, to end something as fast as possible with as little energy expended as possible.
Movements are also based off of animals. During my brief stint with kung fu, I learned tiger, crane, snake, and monkey movements. My favorite was tiger. Lots of clawing and biting with your hands. Other animals are also included, like dragon, eagle, cat, goat and even drunken men.
Kung fu was often practiced and perpetuated by nuns and monks in China. Again this comes originally from a need for self defense and later as a form of meditation. The Shaolin style was the first institutionalized form of kung fu. (I'm often surprised at how different monks and nuns are between the East and West. ) Kung fu is strongly based on the fact that humans are spiritual beings. Energy flow and use is a major aspect of learning and practicing kung fu. My instructor had a certain technique that he would not teach you if you were expending energy sexually. Its a delicate balance. Learning about "chi" as they call energy, gives a greater depth to martial arts than just punching and kicking. It combines the mind and the body and the soul. Little idea.
Learning about martial arts cannot be done without learning about Chinese kung fu. It has given rise to many styles, many bad movies and hundreds of styles of martial arts. Most eastern fighting styles have some basis in kung fu. In later posts I'll explain which ones are strongly based off of kung fu.
Hope you learned something! I know I did.

iRite insertion changes the page css layout
I have used DataAssist to create an update page - Works perfectly.
I then removed 1 textfield and replaced it with the iRite.
The functionality is fine, however the iRite caused the page and menu system on that page to go out of whack after it was installed/inserted onto the page.
I believe that it may be a css problem but don't know which of your iRite CSS files is doing the damage.
I attached a zipped file with 2 asp pages on it. One is the update page that works fine, the other is the page using the iRite, included both for comparison.

An innovative adapter-mounted ball bearing system has transformed the economics of maintaining Sapphire Energy Recovery's tyre shredding machines.
Switching to the Dodge Grip Tight bearing which features a flinger seal and a built-in mechanism for removing the bearing from the shaft has completely resolved a recurrent and expensive repair problem.
Sapphire Energy Recovery operates high-throughput shredding machines in four major conurbations throughout the UK, providing a sustainable solution for endof- life car and van tyres by processing them into chips.
These chips are then used as an alternative to coal in cement manufacture.
After shredding, the tyre chips are graded for size by a classifier with 36 sets of bearings.
The classifier shafts' setscrew style bearings were being damaged, by both the fine metal wires in the tyres, and the water used for cooling.
As a result they had a life, typically, of less than 6 months. Changing the classifier bearings could then take anything up to two hours per bearing, depending on the problems encountered and the skill of the operators.
Corrosion sometimes meant that the bearings needed to be loosened by heat, for example, and in some cases the whole shaft had to be replaced.
Sapphire is UK's end of life car and van tyre processor, and its processing centres often operate for 24 hours a day.
Addressing the planned and emergency maintenance requirements of these machines became a priority for Sapphire's reliability manager Andy Booth, and he called in the specialist Dodge distributor, Bearing Transmission & Pneumatics, to discuss the problem.
Bearing Transmission & Pneumatics suggested that Sapphire try a type of ball bearing from Baldor 's range called the Dodge Grip Tight.
This adapter-style bearing has a mechanical maintenance feature that loosens it by simply turning a nut. The action automatically pulls the bearing off, avoiding any need for forcible removal or expansion heating eliminating fretting corrosion and preventing shaft damage.
The bearings were a little more expensive more than the set screw type that Sapphire had been using, but demonstrations and examples of field experience in hostile conditions convinced Andy Booth that the easy-off mechanism would make changeovers a predictable operation.
Sapphire purchased some Grip Tight bearings and installed them as and when the previous bearings failed. Although predictable maintenance was Andy Booth's major requirement, it soon became obvious that the bearings offered good life too, as the life period came and went.
The Grip Tight's built-in flinger seal is protecting the bearings in the hostile environment to such as en extent that they are lasting typically twice as long as the previous set screw types.
Now, following the use of Grip Tight over a period of some 24 months, and a number of maintenance changeovers, Andy Booth knows that the Grip Tight justifies its reputation: changeovers are predictable and take only 15 minutes maximum following production operator training including the time required to remove and refit machine casings. Moreover, there has been no shaft damage to date.

Home > News & Events > Wayland Press Release Archives > 2009 News Releases > December 2009 > Graduates challenged to remember friends, faithfulness of God
Graduates challenged to remember friends, faithfulness of God
Release Date: December 12, 2009
PLAINVIEW – In the winter commencement ceremony at Wayland Baptist University, graduating senior Matthew Johnston challenged his classmates to cherish those "remember when…" stories with fondness as he shared three truths he learned during his college years.
Johnston noted that friends are great, adding that the interactions with many on the WBU campus have shaped the graduates into who they are today. But, he added, life is hard, and those trials can inspire confidence that God is working in their lives and growing them to a new place.
Finally, Johnston urged the audience to remember, "God is faithful."
"In the midst of our joys and times of hardship, God is here and He is faithful to us," noted the religion major. "The character that is distinctly Wayland will go with us throughout our lives."
WBU president Dr. Paul Armes added his own brief charge to the class, asking them not to underestimate their power to change the world and the impact that faith in Christ can have on their lives.
"It really does matter how you live," Armes said. "Your actions speak more eloquently than any words. Serve and share Christ wherever you go."
During the ceremony, Armes also recognized senior John Goble of Keller as the highest ranking graduate, obtaining his bachelor's degree in history education with a perfect 4.0 grade point average. Seniors participating in the ceremony included Alicia Anderson of Tucson, Ariz., who led the invocation; James Sercey of Fort Worth, who led the pledge; Goble, who read the scripture passage from Psalm 73; Leslie Delgado of Plainview, who directed the hymn for the ceremony; and A.J. Haney of Shallowater, who led the benediction.
Earlier in the day, many graduates participated in the traditional Torch and Mantle ceremony where they symbolically transferred the role of leadership to an undergraduate student of their choosing. The students also chose a faculty or staff mentor who presented a medallion encouraging them to take on the role of mentor to others in their lives.
Dr. David Howle, associate professor of religion at Wayland, was the keynote speaker, sharing with students that while classes may prepare them for jobs, only the faith and integrity that is an inherent part of the Wayland experience can prepare them for what they will face in the future.

Inflation? Counter it! Tips to reduce your cost of living!
How to reduce your cost of living
The basic needs of man are food, clothing, shelter and circus (entertainment?). However, most of us have today graduated from needs to wants and luxuries.
However, when the headline inflation numbers hit 11.9% there is a serious worry about people not being able to meet even their basic needs – and that is a worry.
While shopping at a discount store instead of the mall generally takes care of the clothing issue, and living in a small apartment instead of a huge house, if you can live in a less fashionable area – like Vikhroli instead of Powai, can address your housing situation. Rising world food prices can lead to some significant challenges in the food department!
Everything from rising transportation costs to the development of biofuels, push up the cost of food and put a pinch on consumers' wallets.
While reducing your eating to one meal a day is good for yogi's and is a good way to cut down costs, that is not what I am suggesting. Instead, I am suggesting something much simpler.
1. Eat at Home
Eating out is expensive. Apart from food even coffee made at home is inexpensive. And you get the added benefits of nutrition, hygiene, etc. Small numbers do add up – if you are spending Rs. 200 a day eating out, and it costs you Rs. 50 to eat at home – you save Rs. 150 a day. A systematic investment plan of Rs. 150 a day done for 30 years can give you returns in excess of 5 CRORES! Toast butter, vegetable sandwich, Tea, coffee, curd rice, salads – are really simple to make 🙂
2. Know what you are buying
You need a plan for almost anything you do! Shopping is not very different – if you stumble around the grocery store and fill your cart with everything that catches your eye, chances are you will spend a lot more money that you needed to spend. Plan your meals for the week ahead, and make careful note of what you need to buy. Once the list is made, purchase only the items on the list, and avoid impulse buys.
3. Buy what you need and then put on Blinders!
Stores are designed to make you go through a long walk to get to the most basic items you need. ON the way you will pick up a lot of things that you do not need, and in quantities that you do not need. Though there is no research in Indian conditions, clearly people do not use all the things that they buy – refuse to be bullied into buying! Most necessities and basic cooking items are found along the outside perimeter of the store, start there and work your way around the edge of the store.
4. Shop on a full stomach
On a hungry stomach you are likely to pick up a lot of things that look like food! You might also pick up a lot of food – which is perhaps un-necessary. On a full stomach on the other hand, you will most likely
be tense and pick up unnecessary stuff.
6. Do you really need bottled water?
A water filter works far cheaper, compared to bottled water in terms of costs.
7. Shop sans the Kids
Hungry, tired, cranky kids increase the amount of time it takes to get your shopping done. Kids can really bug you into buying things which are bad for your health and for your purse – leave the kids at home / crèche / school before you venture out shopping.
8. Buy in Bulk
Bulk buying can save you a significant amount of money. Pay attention to the prices and pick up the family size package if the per-unit cost is lower and you have a place to store it. However, you need to realize that bulk buying has a dark side too! If you are not a big user of any particular product, and storage is an issue be careful of bulk buying – the Indian weather does require refrigerators for most products.
9. Use Store Reward Cards
If the store that you visit most frequently has a reward card, sign up. In some cases, stores raise their prices when they offer reward cards, and without the card your bill will certainly be higher. If the reward card offers other benefits, such as a preferred (or free) parking, some free schemes, etc. be sure to maximize your benefits before they expire.
10. Buy Local products
Whenever I step into a big branded store, they do try to push "American grapes" – I fell for it once, and realized only on billing that it was Rs. 400 a kg! The Indian variety is normally available for Rs. 40. Locally grown or produced food is often available at a cheaper price because you don't pay for long transportation costs. In the place I live I also see farmers coming and holding an exhibition / sale of seasonal vegetables and fruits – common to see a mango mela or a fruit and vegetable exhibition. You cannot do your weekly purchase here but you get a good price indication.
11. Choose unbranded goods!
There is a huge, huge cost difference between a branded product and an unbranded one. Even in case of "expensive" items like dry-fruits if you buy it from a wholesale-retail shop you will find a 20% price difference. Some branded foods like cornflakes, hold your breath – are more expensive than dry fruits on a per kilogram basis J. If you thought potatoes were selling at Rs. 12 a kg., you are correct, but when it gets converted to branded chips, it becomes a little expensive – about Rs. 300 a kg!
12. Men are bad shoppers?
It is not so much a gender issue – but men do not have much patience and that shows while shopping. So if you are a man, realize that shops know and understand this. So things are arranged in such a way that when you are in a hurry you will find the most expensive items. So look in the corners, look at levels lower (and higher) than just at the eye level. To find less expensive items, look down. Also, looking around your brand-name food can find you a cheaper generic alternative.
13. Avoid Checkout Temptations
Normally you have some high priced crackers, chocolates, shaving blades – and the cheaper alternatives are just a little further away, so walk a few steps. Picking up things at the check-out counter surely spoils your health – like the chocolate that you eat on the way to the car! Most of the times it also spoils your wealth.
14. Compare Prices and Stores
I personally do not compare prices and stores but my wife has a doctorate in this! She knows which shop is good to buy vegetables, which shop for branded goods, and which shop for unbranded goods. And she plans her shopping accordingly.
15. Sales offers
In Indian conditions September to December are what we call "Festive season" when most of the buying happens. Surprisingly, Hindus, Muslims and Christians have some festivals for which they buy new clothes in this period. So shop keepers do a pre-festive sale in July-August and a post-festive offer in January. Use these sales to build your wardrobe – you can get good deals.
16. Shop less frequently
The lesser the number of trips you make to the shop, the lesser the things you will end up buying! So if you are making more trips to the store, it is time you reduced the trips.
17. Pay In Cash
When you buy your day-to-day requirements with your credit card, and do not pay off in full, you pay interest. Apart from this, when you see cash go out of your hand, you tend to be more careful about how much you spend. So paying by cash is a good option.
18. Check Your Bill
You should check all the statements which have a financial implication – whether it is your credit card statement, you mutual fund statement, your bank statement, your insurance statement or even your bill at the Store where you buy. Scanners are fine, but sometimes there could be a mistake. There could be one item scanned twice. Sometimes the prices are not changed – maybe carelessly but you MUST see the bill before you pay. Or go home, check and then scream if things are wrong.
19. Buy leather goods in monsoon and umbrellas in Winter!
During the non-season prices of goods are lesser. If you are in a monsoon area check out for sale of leather goods. There must be one going on somewhere near your office / house. Be alert to such offers. If you are buying things for your kids this is more true. So be awake.
Keep watching this space, i will keep adding points here….

Not Over till the Greek Chorus Sings
The repeated rescue attempts by Europe's chief lifeguards – Angela Merkel and Nicolas Sarkozy – may be in vain although the struggle continues. It looks like Greece may be headed for bankruptcy in the near future – despite Merkel's recent statement: "We refuse to acknowledge Greece's bankruptcy. We can't accept this." Such determination is always admirable in a lifeguard.
However, with the bankruptcy application of Hostess Brands last month, it was clear that the sweet taste of confectionary does not last forever. Afficionados of Hostess Twinkies reportedly began hoarding them against a dreaded day when they might no longer be available. The difference between Greece and Hostess Brands, however, is that Hostess Brands has been through bankruptcy before.
There are some similarities between these situations. Hostess owes pension funds almost $1 billion while its assets are far less than that. The problems of the Greek government, of course, are far more than that. Despite the efforts of Greek Prime Minister Lucas Papademos, Greek politicians have been reluctant to accept the stiff medicine being prescribed by the European Union, the International Monetary Fund, European Central Bank and other fiscal physicians.
Greece's dismal future has preoccupied Europe. In January, The Economist observed: "Nicolas and Mario. Angela and Nicolas. Mario and Angela. The year is starting with a burst of speed-dating among the leaders of the euro zone's three biggest economies. Their talk is of the single currency, which is threatened by economic failings in Mario Monti's Italy, Nicolas Sarkozy's France and in even weaker Mediterranean countries—but also by dogmatism in Angela Merkel's Germany. The three leaders accept that they have not averted all the dangers, but claim to be making progress. 'We have laid the groundwork for the medium term but have not yet won back trust,' said Mrs Merkel after her meeting with Mr Sarkozy on January 9th."
Their efforts appear problematic although hope springs eternal among European politicians. The problems of Greece are not easily resolved. As anti-gold economist Barry Eichengreen wrote recently in Foreign Affairs, "[S]outhern Europe has been left to implement brutal fiscal cuts that are pushing its economies deeper into recession, further impairing their capacity to service their debts. Many southern Europeans, suffering severe hardship, have rebelled against their own governments, and accused northern Europe of sacrificing their well-being. Many northern Europeans, meanwhile, see their southern neighbors as spendthrift, lazy, and corrupt. Those northerners have become increasingly vocal in saying so and have concluded that more rescue operations would amount to pouring money down a rat hole."
The Republican presidential contest this year has demonstrated that there is a second life for political candidates whom the elites deemed politically bankrupt. So, there may well be a second life for Greece and Hostess in or out of bankruptcy. But instead of pouring money down a rat hole, it may well be time for a little bankruptcy prevention. Taking the medicine of the gold standard is the place to start. And lay off the Twinkies!
James Rickards sees 'Currency Wars' destroying dollar
To most Americans, the term "quantitative easing" is arcane economic jargon, introduced following the global financial crisis and, like most policies intended to spur recovery, yet to make much progress in reducing unemployment.
Yet to author James Rickards, QE, as it is known, is the United States' secret weapon in an unfolding global war — one fought not with soldiers, tanks or drones but with currencies.
In driving down long-term interest rates by flooding the market with freshly printed currency, the policy, Rickards says, is a combative attempt to boost U.S. exports by weakening the dollar while undermining the competitiveness of China and other U.S. trading partners.
As he argues in his new book, Currency Wars: The Making of the Next Global Crisis, QE is an "exercise in deception" that offers little chance of promoting long-term economic recovery. Worse, it has left the dollar highly vulnerable to speculation and, ultimately, a cataclysmic crash.
Big 3 French Bank Assets Triple France's GDP According To David Stockman
David Stockman, former Director of the White House Office of Management and Budget during the Reagan Administration, has in recent years become a prominent and outspoken critic of the Fed, central banking policies generally, government finance schemes, and other aspects of the world's screwed up financial regimes. Mr. Stockman's perspective on these issues is unique. He played an integral role in government in the early days of the long running credit and government finance bubble which led to the mushrooming multifaceted financial crisis now engulfing the world.
Mr. Stockman subsequently spent many years on Wall Street in the investment banking and private equity arenas, as well as the corporate world, where he gained a perspective on the impacts of government policies on the financial system, and the perverse behaviors that result from bad policy. He has been a proponent of fiscal sanity for decades, even during a time when many politicians and economists believed that deficits didn't matter. He issued stern warnings about runaway deficits 25 years ago which ring all too true today. We now face the dire consequences of the practices he warned against.
After leaving the Reagan Administration Mr. Stockman wrote frankly and critically about his role and experiences in the Administration in his book, The Triumph of Politics. The book is still relevant today as an historical study of the origins of the economic philosophies and government processes that led to the ever worsening mess in government finance.
Hugo Chavez moving gold to cheat Americans and punish his people
The BBC reports:
Venezuela has received its first shipment of gold bars, after President Hugo Chavez ordered the repatriation of 85% of the country's bullion reserves.
The gold was unloaded from a plane and taken under heavy guard to the Central Bank in the capital, Caracas.
President Chavez has explained the move as an act of sovereignty that will protect Venezuela's reserves from global economic turbulence.
However critics say it is expensive and unnecessary.
Much speculation has swirled around what Mr. Chavez is up to. The shrewdest assessment may be that of investigative journalist Richard Miniter, in Forbes.com who observed last September:
The mystery only deepens the more one thinks about the costs and risks. An insurer, if one can be found, could easily charge 4% of the market value of the stockpile, plus security and shipping charges. All told, that could be almost $100 million. And moving the gold will almost certainly lower Venezuela's credit rating, which Moody's Investors Service puts at B2—well into junk-bond status. Standard & Poor's also rates the nation's creditworthiness as junk. Making Venezuela's government assets more opaque will only lower their value. So shipping bullion makes matters worse and means Venezuela will pay even more in borrowing costs.
Don't forget the risks. A bold pirate could seize tons of gold in a single brazen raid. Or a storm could take it to the muddy bottom of the Atlantic.
So why is Chavez moving his gold? What's the strongman's real reason?
Foreign investors are harassed and work under the ever present threat of expropriation. Coca-Cola, PepsiCo, McDonald's, Wendy's, ExxonMobil, ConocoPhilips and more than a dozen other publicly-traded American companies have seen their assets seized. The total value seized tops $23.3 billion, according to Ecoanalítica, a Caracas-based research firm. Since 2007, the rate of nationalizations has climbed 924%, according to Coindustria, the equivalent of Venezuela's chamber of commerce. The World Bank, in its 2011 Doing Business Report, finds that Afghanistan is a better place to do business than Venezuela.
Meanwhile, a Spanish judge has found that Chavez's regime is linked to two terrorist groups, ETA in Spain and the FARC in Colombia. When Walid Makled, a drug lord with family roots in the Palestinian territories, was arrested in Colombia, he admitted to paying some $40 million to the Chavistas. He is also suspected of financing terror plots.
Finally, at the World Bank's International Center for Settlement of Investment Disputes (ICSID), American and European companies have filed at least 18 claims against Venezuela for illegally seizing their properties. Those claims total more than $14 billion.
The value of Venezuela's overseas gold reserves? Roughly $12.3 billion.
So let's connect the dots and solve the mystery of the moving gold.
The Rain in Spain is Falling all over Europe – Sweeping away whatever is in its path
Spain held elections Sunday. The Spanish Socialist Party (PSOE) was, as expected, thrown out and replaced by the Partido Popular (PP), led by Mariano Rajoy. With four out of ten young Spaniards out of work and the government imposing tough fiscal discipline, the result was hardly a surprise. His party is so unpopular that Prime Minister José Zapatero did not even seek reelection to a third term.
Citizens of Europe, like citizens of the United States, are unhappy. In Spain, the unhappiness is express through "los indignados" There is a lot of outrage, frustration and electoral discontent in Europe after the continent's economic problems.
France won't hold its elections until next April when French President Nicolas Sarkozy is up for reelection. As in Spain, change is in the air with Socialist François Hollande now ahead of Sarkozy by 38-24% in the first round and 65-35% in the second round in May.
Politics in Italy is complicated as always – even with technocrat Mario Monti in office. Elections aren't scheduled in Italy until next April – the only sure thing is the Silvio Berlusconi won't lead one coalition.
But the big political question mark is what happens in the autumn of 2012 when German Chancellor Angela Merkel must hold elections. She has led two coalition governments. Her current coalition partner, the FDP, has fallen in popularity, while Merkel's Christian Democrats now lead the opposition Social Democrats by only a few points. If the increasingly popular Green Party continues its current rise in the polls, the Social Democrats could be position to form a coalition government with the Greens next fall.
The only constant on the European political horizon is change. There is a great deal of talk in Europe these days about union and disunion. The underlying disorder in the political system reflects disorder in the monetary system.
"Today's currency disorder is technically no kind of system at all," writes economist Judy Shelton in her new book, Fixing the Dollar Now. "Although the very reason the IMF was brought into existence was to oversee a fixed exchange rate monetary system anchored by a dollar convertible into gold, today's IMF permits its 187 members to choose any form of exchange arrangement they wish. Nations can allow their currencies to float, or be pegged to another currency or basket of currencies, or they can adopt the currency of another country, or participate in a currency bloc, or form part of a monetary union. Perversely, the IMF imposes only one restriction: member nations are not allowed to peg their currency to gold."
As Europe's voters concentrate on changing political parties, they might also consider changing monetary systems. Or, as Shelton suggests, actually choosing a system to replace the current disorder.

Click here for the Astrotheology Calendar Special, more than 15% discount!
The 2012 Astrotheology Calendar serves as a basic introduction into the world of
archaeoastronomy, solar mythology and astrotheology. As has been the case with our past Astrotheology Calendars, in
addition to showing lunar phases and astrological signs, this year's calendar highlights the solstices, equinoxes
and fire festivals with a different color for each of the eight relevant days. Also as in the past, in our quest to
inspire an interest in astrotheology, mythology and archaeoastronomy, we have provided fascinating information
about the astronomical alignments and astrotheological meanings of various archaeological sites and ancient
artifacts from around the world.
As examples of this ancient knowledge, this calendar reveals interesting information about
the Temple of Kukulkan or "El Castillo" at the site of Chichen Itza in the Yucatan, Mexico, as well as the
Aztec Calendar Disc found at Tenochtitlan, Mexico; the site of Angkor Wat in Cambodia; Persepolis in Iran; the
Pantheon at Rome, Italy; the Dronbeg Stone Circle near Glandore, Ireland; Native American ruins at Chaco
Canyon, New Mexico, USA; the Temple of Heaven complex at Beijing, China; the Pyramid of the Sun and Avenue of
the Dead at Teotihuacan, Mexico; Crack Cave at Comanche National Grasslands, Colorado, USA; the Almendres
Cromlech megalithic complex near Evora, Portugal; St. Peter's Square in Vatican City, Italy; and the Earth
Clock at Burlington, Vermont, USA. Also, the most pertinent days of the year are marked with fun little icons,
as reminders!
Listen to Acharya S/D.M. Murdock talk about the calendar on X Zone Radio!
In addition to providing fascinating information about amazing religious sites worldwide, from
the Mesoamerican and North American to Roman and others globally, this year's calendar focuses on the Mayan
time-keeping purported to portend the "end of the world." But is that assumption correct? Also explores the
correlation between Mayan mythology and biblical traditions.
Created by independent scholar of comparative religion and mythology D.M. Murdock, author of
The Christ Conspiracy, Suns of God, Who Was Jesus?, Christ in Egypt, The
Gospel According to Acharya S and Jesus as the Sun throughout History, The 2012
Astrotheology Calendar makes a perfect gift for a birthday, Christmas or other holiday!
This calendar is actually a book with 34 pages consisting of 12 full-page images, the actual
calendar and text explaining what we have put together here, covering the following intriguing subjects:
As with the previous years' calendars, The 2012 Astrotheology Calendar contains
information never before published in any of Acharya's books. (Also as before, there is no hole in this
calendar-book, but you can easily hang it using a push-pin/tack.)
U.S. Orders Only
"The 2012 Astrotheology Calendar makes a great
"A message from the
"My astrotheology calendars are lovingly handcrafted by me,
with the assistance of N.W. Barker. During the year, we keep an eye out for the finest images to
represent the months of the year, with a focus on mythology, archaeoastronomy and, of course,
astrotheology. Each image is analyzed for its best possible placement in the calendar, vis-à-vis
the months and their particular characteristics and holidays.
"For example, the image of Persepolis in Iran was chosen to
represent the month of March—on the 20th of which falls the vernal equinox—because of the very
ancient Persian spring celebration of Nowruz. As another example, the Pantheon at Rome was chosen
for April because it is oriented so the sun shines as a single shaft to the floor on the 21st of
that month, traditional date of Rome's founding. The Pyramid of the Sun at Teotihuacan, Mexico, was
chosen for the month of August because the temple's face is oriented to sunset on the 13th of that
month, traditional date of Mayan origins. November's image of St. Peter's Square in Rome was
designed to show how ancient astrotheological knowledge has been carried forward into our "modern"
religions. The choice of the Burlington Earth Clock for December was made because it symbolizes not
only the past but also the future, and we at Astrotheology Press would like to encourage the
creation of such circles with so much important information regarding calendars and
"In addition to the images—which have explanatory captions highlighting the archaeoastronomical and
religious meanings of the sites and artifacts—we have incorporated some fascinating information
about ancient archaeoastronomically aligned sites, astrotheology, solar and lunar mythology, the
zodiac, solstices and equinoxes, along with some "cool stuff" to follow up with.
"The calendar was designed and created by me, D.M. Murdock, also known as Acharya S, including both
back and front covers. It is published under Astrotheology Press, a division of Stellar House
Publishing. The text and images include citation where appropriate, and there is also a short

Hasbro is notorious for repaints&retools-maybe Ratchet with a retooled head, new/no weapons, and something slightly cybertronian. im hoping that since he seems to have Ratchet's cybertronain form, they could retool his wheels into a tank tread kinda thing. or do you think he'll be in a future episode? my hopes for him are he gets an earth mode as some sort of delivery truck. he comes to earth looking for Magnus to get repairs, deliver information about the Cons, and/or is trying to find out why he can no longer contact them. then maybe he's like related to ratchet, thus their choice in similarly shaped alt modes&transformations. he can give the Bots some info if he has any too that or him as the traitor but is really a triple-crosser ^_^

This video comes to us from reader Bruce, a Cleveland Cavaliers fan who was very excited to see his team win Game 7 of the NBA Finals. Bruce, in a state of bliss, did a lot of jumping and yelling after the final buzzer, and that is sometimes a dangerous thing to do when only wearing flip flops.
That ankle roll was as bad as it looked. Bruce tells us he will be spending the next six weeks in a walking boot and on crutches. Here's the price he paid for his joy:

1st August 2013
On what was reported to be the hottest day of the year, there was a gusting wind that made it bearable although the wind was gusting across the runway which did make for some interesting take-off's and landings by the visiting GA aircraft. P-51 'Ferocious Frankie' was having a compass swing down at ARCo and then it was refuelled but because of the wind didn't have a test flight. The first arrivals arrived for the four day ChipFest taking place at Duxford although one of the Chipmunks was infact a Bulldog. The restoration of the WWI Mk.V British tank continues in Hangar 5 with a garish red undercoat having been applied prior to the top coat. Meanwhile in hangar 2 the deconstruction of P-47 'SNAFU' continues with two shipping containers arriving today.
Equipment Used: Sony Alpha A57 SLT + Sony16-105mm/f3.5-5.6 Lens & Sony Alpha A58SLT & Sony 70-300mm G SSM/f4.5-5.5 Lens
3rd August 2013
Saturday started off very nice with a warm breeze, blue sky and sunshine and big fluffy clouds. The Chipfest was still going strong with a couple of new Chipmunks arrivng during the morning. In hangar 2, the fuselage of P-47G 'SNAFU' was on it's transport cradle and during the afternoon was manhandled into its container. Bye, bye. Late afternoon and B-17 'Sally-B' fired up for the short trip down to Damyns Hall for a display. Unfortunately between engine start and moving to the holding point for engine checks, 'Sally-B' and a good part of Cambridgeshire got caught in a torrential downpour with winds gusting to 30Kts. After sitting for about five minutes with engines running, the crew taxied back to their parking place and shut down sitting out the rain in the aircraft.
6th August 2013
A busy day for the museum visitor wise as they were still queuing out of the main entrance at 10.45 this morning. TFC were having a bit of a shuffle around with their fleet with the aircraft from the eastern end sitting out in the sunshine. Meanwhile the OFMC P-51D, 'Ferocious Frankie' had its first test flight since the new Packard engine was installed with Maurice Hammond in the cockpit as it was he and his company that rebuilt the engine.
7th August 2013
A bit of war bird flying today. First up was the ARCo Harvard 'TAZ' which was flying circuits most of the day and by mid afternoon the TFC P-40B was parked on the airfield and Stephen Grey took it up for a test flight but no aerobatics over the airfield on his return. For the last couple of days, museum exhibits were being photographed with the large mobile items moved to the hangar base outside Wing Co Joe's cafe and the smaller items outside hangar 5. The British Antarctic Survey Twin Otter, VP-FAZ, returned to Duxford at the start of the week and today was joined by VP-FBL with FAZ going walk about during the afternoon with some circuits on its return.
8th August 2013
Apart from a couple of Chinook helicopters that flew through during the morning it was relatively quiet day until the ARCo T.9 took to the skies on a training flight with a potential new Spitfire pilot. The TFC GLadiator had a test flight during the afternoon and will be seen, subject to serviceability, during the Duxford Air Show at the start of September. The Plane Sailing Catalina had a brief flight and apart from Classic Wings plying their pleasure flights was about as busy as it got flying wise.
12th August 2013
There are a handfull or so of two-seat Spitfires flying in the UK and to help identify them they are usually referred to as where or who they belong to. There is the Duxford/ARCo T9, the Grace Spitfire and today the Welsh Spitfire, because it's based in North Wales, arrived and parked up at ARCo. Sitting on the grass at ARCo was the engineless Blenheim/Bolingbroke IVT with the Mk.1 nose in a newly painted night fighter scheme but carrying Finnish Air Force markings on the fuselage. All is not as it seems though as RAF roundels are on the upper wings. Also from ARCo the Me.108 went for a test flight and as I was only spending the morning at Duxford, I didn't see it return.
18th August 2013
It was the 2013 'Sally-B' Roll of Honour day at Duxford. After the unveiling of the list of donors names on the rear fuselage of the Flying Fortress and a chance for supporters to get a look inside, there was a short display later during the afternoon. One of the best display's I've seen which was anything but pedestrian.
19th August 2013
As the museum doors opened, the HAC Spitfire flew over with a run and break before landing after a weekend away and this was closely followed by a bright yellow Miles Hawk trainer from Old Warden. The Hawk later went up to do some circuits. The HAC Nimrod II was brought out of the hangar and parked out on the airfield and despite all attempts, including hand cranking the engine, would not start. An unusual visitor during the afternoon was a Royal Navy Sea King from No 711 NAS based at Culdrose that flew through enroute home. The Grace Spitfire rounded off the afternoon with a couple of flights.
23rd August 2013
The day started with two aircraft out on the airfield for engine runs. TFC Bearcat was run up first followed by the P-40B that also had an engine run in the afternoon. The ARCo T9 two-seat Spitfire left for the short hop to Sywell and returned mid afternoon and just after that had taken off from Duxford, Spitfire/TD248 flew in from its home at Humberside. It was moved straight into the ARCo hangar for some maintenance and six hours later was back outside and on its way home to Humberside in time for tea. En-route to Little Gransden for their air show on Sunday a Belgian Air Component A109 helicopter called in to Duxford for a pit stop. Fuel for the helicopter and food for the crew. P-51 'Ferocious Frankie' had its first public display of the season, after its engine problems earlier in the year, with a display at Clacton.
27th August 2013
The Fighter Collection Wildcat and P-40F were out in the hot sunshine today for some air tests. I'd forgotten how nice the Wildcat sounds in the air. They were parked on the jet pan as the airfield grass was being cut and preparations around the museum site have started for the air show next week. Meanwhile an advance party from Force India arrived to set up for the F1 testing on Wednesday.
28thAugust 2013
An excellent day out with wall to wall sunshine and temperatures at +24C, according to the tower, but during the afternoon with very little or non-existent wind and high cloud there was a bit of haze that made flying shots a bit difficult. The day didn't go well for any one expecting to see the F1 testing as it had been cancelled as the car apparently went tech so Force India packed up and went home but there was more war bird flying during the day than I expected to see.
TFC came out to play again with the Harvard and Mk XIV Spitfire flying but first the engineers had to play musical aeroplanes in the morning to get the two aircraft out of their hangar. Both went flying late afternoon with the Spitfire doing a spot of aerobatics on its return. Pete Kynsey took his Cosmic Wind for an airing later in the afternoon with some excellent aerobatics over the airfield and when he parked up by crash gate C, got an appreciative round of applause from the gathered museum visitors that were there. The Me.108 took advantage of the good weather with a couple of flights and Cliff Spink flew in with the Desert Buchon but not without a spot of aerobatics over the airfield first. He later went for a couple of flights in the Stearman. When I was down the M11 end I was surprised to see the two-seat Spitfire/G-ILDA being pulled out from the ARCo hangar as I wasn't aware it was at Duxford. It later left for Goodwood.
30th August 2013
It was the turn of ARCo/HFL to provide a bit of war bird action today and with some of their fleet heading down to Shoreham for the air show over the weekend, they didn't disappoint. The two-seat T9 Spitfire had an air test with some some aerobatics to follow before landing and the appearance a bit later by the pair of Buchon's with a practice aerobatic routine above Duxford. Having been refueled they and the Spitfire fired up and did a scramble type take off blowing the freshly cut grass all over the place. B-17 'Sally-B' followed almost immediately they had left.

There were also lots of cool cars at the car wash. It was like each car had it's own personality :)
|We liked these bullet hole stickers
|A car within a car. Car inception.
I'm always reading on Marc and Angel that we should be doing something everyday that makes us uncomfortable. What they mean by that is to do something new and put yourself in situations outside of your comfort zone. I never really grasped the concept of this until today. The girls and I put ourselves outside our comfort zone and in the process learned some new things and met some pretty awesome people.
I'm a huge advocate for self growth and development, and today I was able to practice the all-time valuable lesson not to judge people by their appearance. I stepped out of my comfort zone today, and even though it was a bit strange at first, so much good came of it.

Sharp Crochet Hook
One of my best friends has invented a crochet hook that is AMAZING! It is a Sharp Crochet Hook. The tip is sharp so that you no longer need to buy the presewn blankets. You can simply poke your own holes through the material and crochet! I'm not great wording it all, but I do have my own Sharp Crochet Hook, and I LOVE IT! I'm a novice at crocheting, and I've made 3 blankets with mine. Seriously, so easy to use! Here is the link to her website Sharp Crochet Hook. Go take a look! You're going to want one!

BUSINESS NAME: Melissa Ergo Photography
NAME: Melissa Ergo
LOCATION: Seattle, WA & San Francisco Bay Area, CA
AREAS SERVING: Seattle, Portland, San Francisco & Destination
AVAILABLE FOR TRAVEL? It's what I love best!
DREAM WEDDING LOCATIONS: Chile, Turkey, Thailand, Bali, Scotland
WEBSITE: http://9nl.be/melissaergo
FACEBOOK: facebook.com/
INSTAGRAM: instagram.com/melissaergophoto
EMAIL: firstname.lastname@example.com
ABOUT HER: I am a wedding photographer because I like telling real, uncontrived stories about human emotion and extraordinary things. It is the same reason that I travel and live a lifestyle of abundant adventure. People fascinate me, so I've been trekking all over the world since I was a teenager to discover new stories.
I adore documenting people in love. I capture real stories as they unfold and give my clients an honest narrative of their love and their loved ones gathering together in joyful celebration. Many photographers tell the same story over and over or to contrive scenarios for images; I am interested in giving you something more honest than a trite, cookie-cutter approach. Your wedding is different!
My love for adventure keeps me interested in constantly learning new things and going new places. When I am not photographing weddings I am hiking in the mountains, dancing or traveling—and often all three simultaneously! This year I am on the road, living and volunteering on organic farms around the Pacific Northwest.
HER STYLE: Bright, Modern and Natural. My style draws from my background as a painter and art history student. I strive for my work to have a dreamlike quality while remaining very natural and honest. I am all about telling a real story as it unfolds.
>> "We were so happy that we chose Melissa as our wedding photographer. The photos are beautiful and she captured the essence of our wedding perfectly. She is kind, creative, professional, and hardworking. She really worked with us to ensure that we got every photo we wanted and uses natural light and her creativity to capture absolutely beautiful photos. Would recommend her services in a heartbeat!!" -Jill
>> "Melissa was an amazing photographer, not only is she very talented at capturing beautiful moments but she was a pleasure to work with. She has a very calm and relaxed personality which is very comforting to a potentially stressed-out bride. She was very receptive to my ideas and the moments I particularly hoped to capture while also making innovative suggestions. We used Melissa for both our wedding and engagement photography and she is a pro at both posed and un-posed photography. For the engagement shoot she did an excellent job of capturing moments of us that were intimate and did not looked forced or posed (which is particularly difficult since my husband has a hard time smiling naturally for photos). And for the wedding she was able to catch many beautiful moments of us and our guests in the middle of un-posed activities. If I had to do my wedding over, I would definitely use Melissa again!" -Ally

Maud Gatewood
Maud Gatewood (1/08/1934-11/08/2004) was born in Yanceyville, North Carolina. Her father was sheriff of Caswell County. Later, Gatewood continued his legacy of public service by serving as County Commissioner. Gatewood received her Master of Arts degree from Ohio State University, laterat the University of North Carolina-Greensboro and Harvard University. Maud Gatewood is a recipient of a Fulbright Grant through which she studied art history and painting in Salzburg, Austria. In 1972, Gatewood was winner of the painting award from the American Academy of Arts and Letters. She was a 1981 recipient of a Southeastern Seven Grant from the Southeastern Center for Contemporary Art, and in 1984 was presented the North Carolina Governor's Award in Fine Arts. She earned the North Carolina Poster Award for the 1987 U.S. Olympic Festival, and in 1993 was honored by the University of North Carolina with one of four postal cachet commissions created to celebrate the bicentennial of the University of North Carolina. A large scale retrospective exhibit of her life's work, curated by Robert Hobbs opened at the University of North Carolina-Greensboro's Weatherspoon Gallery in April of 1994. Accompanied by a full color catalog the exhibit traveled to five museums throughout the South, including the Asheville Art Museum. Her work was exhibited in several juried shows including 13 North Carolina Artists Annuals at the N.C. Museum of Art in Charlotte, NC, and two Miller exhibits at the Green Hill Gallery in Greensboro, NC. Her work was included in many group shows including "Painting in the South" at the Richmond Museum in Richmond, VA and Southern Arts Foundation Touring Show "Three Approaches to the Figurative: Fleming, Gatewood, Koegel" (1986-87), and the Southeastern Seven-V Fellowship Winners Show at the Southeastern Center for Contemporary Art, Winston-Salem, NC. Gatewood was one of the nine artists who participated in the NC Women's Artists exhibition at the National Museum of Women in Washington, DC.Gatewood's paintings are often about familiar subjects presented in unfamiliar ways. Critics have said of her painting that her imagery is clear and precise and depicts a very specific moment in time. During her career, her paintings moved from Abstract Expressionism in the late 50s and early 60s to more representational landscapes and pieces that often incorporated three-dimensional aspects in the 1970s. Her late work included representational elements that were highly patterned and spatially compressed.Maud Gatewood was featured in both Who's Who in American Art and Who's Who in American Women. She has received numerous awards and participated in quite a few solo and group exhibitions. In March of 1992 her work was featured exclusively in a show entitled 'Maud Gatewood: In Celebration of UNCG's Centennial'. Gatewood's work is part of many public and private collections.

Simon Trpcevski to Open New Building of Macedonian Philharmonics
The new state-of-the-art concert hall of the Macedonian Philharmonic Orchestra will open on May 21 with the exclusive concert including Macedonian renowned pianist Simon Trpceski as soloist, under the baton of famous conductor Vladimir Ashkenazy.
The concert would include pieces by Macedonian composer Trajko Prokopiev, as well as Russia's Sergei Prokofiev and Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky.
After 73 years of its existence, the Macedonian Philharmonic Orchestra finally gets its own home.
The Ministry of Culture has invested a lot of love and efforts to set into operation the concert hall that above all is going to improve the working conditions for artists and attract a great number of internationally prominent musicians, conductors, philharmonics, Culture Minister Elizabeta Kanaceska Milevska told a press conference on Friday.
Pianist Trpceski said he was honored to perform at the opening of the concert hall and to cooperate once again with maestro Ashkenazy.
The new building, covering an area of 12,400 sqm, has a large, 1,000-seat capacity hall and a small multi-functional 310-seat hall. The large hall has exceptional acoustics and a state-of-the-art audio and video equipment.

My college kids are home for the summer. Yippee! Hurray!
Only the warm fuzzy feeling didn't last long.
I feel like the house elf.
What happened to the life I've become comfortably accustomed to?
I bet they won't realize what I'm going through until they have kids of their own, and those kids do the exact same things to them.
And, why, when my mother visits, does she have a smirky grin on her face as I'm complaining about them? Isn't she supposed to be a little more sympathetic?

text: So I've got an encore G1 Omega supreme in the mail, and this guy has a lot of stickers from what I've seen. Now, in the past the stickers peeled off of my tf's(and toys in general) in a short time. Outside of painting and clearcoating them in, I was wondering if there was any way to preserve these, and to help them adhere to the plastic better? any help would be greatly appreciated.

Recently, I got a message from friends there was a boat headed to South Georgia. There was a spare berth aboard. They wanted me to come along.
"Sure!" I said and finally I had The Answer.
The Answer to The Question folks always ask me – "Where are you traveling next?"
So now, when I tell folks I'm off to South Georgia, this image pops in to their heads.
Me in the Beer Dinghy, floating down the black waters spotting the fox squirrel. I'd bring an empty sack and gather peanuts and, between picking goobers, I'd add a few more layers to my southern drawl. This South Georgia was Carter Country after all…
About the time folks ask me how close to Atlanta I'm going, I have to interrupt the conversation to inform folks that I'm headed to the South Georgia, not south Georgia.
South Georgia is an island in the Southern Ocean, off Antarctica. In sailor lingo, it's in the Furious Fifties, way down below of the Roaring Forties. It's where George Shackleton landed after he sailed away from the "Endurance" aboard his whale boat the "James Caird".
It's South Georgia, where, in 1775, Captain Cook landed, surveyed and claimed the island for Britain.
Seventy-five percent of the island is covered in ice – during the summer.
Residents? Thousands of rockhopper penguins, elephant seals and skuas. Full time human inhabitants? Zero.
From North Carolina, I will fly (with a few stops) to the Falkland Islands. There, I will spend a few weeks with friends who are care taking an island. After Christmas, I set off in a 40 year old wooden ketch for South Georgia.
I leave for Stanley, Falkland Islands, December 3
While I'm on the road, the RiverEarth.com General Store will go offline. Yes, the electronic version of "Too Proud to Ride a Cow", the book about my 13-month mule voyage across America will still be available on Amazon.com.
While I'm out, it'll be almost impossible to post on RiverEarth.com. There's just no wi-fi access where I'm heading. And no, I won't have access to a satellite phone. That wouldn't be sporting to the guy who trains for a southern ocean voyage paddling his Beer Dinghy with an ax.
Still, I'd love to hear from you. Just pop me an email. Just not photos, please. When I do have access to wi-fi (maybe a few weeks in the Falklands) it'll be very expensive…. and those pics suck bandwidth.
And now I gotta run. There's a back pack that needs packing.
See you on the other side!

Midland School, founded in 1932, is an independent college preparatory school in Los Olivos. It has always embraced a mission of self-reliance and working as a community to meet basic needs. By remaining true to the school's core, Midland has evolved a meaningful ethic in the 21st century — distinguishing needs from wants and balancing consumption with production.
Midland's solar program began with a pilot project in 2003. Every year since, its 10th-grade chemistry students have worked alongside a solar electrician to install a 3-kW PV system that meets another 3 percent of the campus' electricity use. The students write technical reports and become community teachers at the Santa Barbara Earth Day Festival.
This year they will also be presenting at the annual Central Coast Bioneers Conference in San Luis Obispo.
The Midland Model — 3 percent per year — demonstrates the viability of taking cumulatively consequential steps toward grid neutrality over a generation. As of 2011, 20 percent of the campus' electricity needs have been met with grid-tied, student-installed arrays.
In 2011, Midland also incorporated a wind workshop led by Midland alumnus Mathias Craig, founder of blueEnergy, an installer of community-supported wind turbines and water filtration systems in Nicaragua. Students learned how to build a small-scale wind generator from raw materials — hand-carved blades, rotors, powerful magnets and copper coils.
Every spring over the course of five days during "experiential week," the 10th-graders and faculty build a small demo wind turbine, then break ground and install a grid-tied PV array. Putting theory to practice shows students that this work is something they can do, rather than simply watching professionals do it. More important, this proactive project offers an antidote to being paralyzed by the scale of global climate destabilization.
Midland already possessed two key components for growing a renewable energy program — conservation as a habit of mind and community involvement to meet basic needs. Midland entered the competition of recent years to shave excess energy use as a 90-pound lightweight who had been on an energy diet since long before it was labeled as green. In Midland's early years, and still today, students heat their cabins and their shower water with wood fires. Turning off the lights when no one is in the room is a stated expectation.
The school teaches that use of power is intentional. But Midland does much more than conserve. Much of its produce is grown on the school's large organic garden, tended by faculty and students. And much of its grass-fed beef comes from school pastures.
In 2009, Midland School received a 2009 Governor's Environmental and Economic Leadership Award, and was the only school among 15 organizations honored at the Governor's Global Climate Summit 2 in Los Angeles. Midland's work was featured in the spring 2012 issue of the National Association of Independent Schools' Independent School Magazine.
"Midland is what founder Paul Squibb called 'a simple life school, where one learns to get on without,'" Head of School Will Graham said. "The school raises and educates strong and independent people who are not afraid to find a path, solve a problem, have an idea and create their life stories."
The Midland School workshop, presented by the students and instructor Lise Goddard, will be one of 15 workshops, 13 plenaries, five field trips, a seed exchange, a Food & Farming Celebration, a Green Chef cook-off, dance and yoga sessions, and music at the Central Coast Bioneers Conference for Monterey, Santa Barbara and San Luis Obispo counties. The event is an annual three-day solutions-focused gathering that brings together a diverse audience to create deep and positive change in their communities. The conference summons environmental, industry and social justice innovators to focus food resiliency, health and healing, green business, indigenous knowledge, environmental and social justice, women and youth empowerment, spirituality and sustainability, all working to catalyze a movement to heal our world.
This year's conference will run Oc. 19-21 at the Monday Club in San Luis Obispo. Registration and more information about the Central Coast Bioneers Conference, speakers and program can be found by clicking here or calling 805.548.0597.
This story includes excerpts from the article "Changing the Story" by Lise Goddard.
