Young girls to be inspired to get active
Free swimming, gym and indoor cycling sessions are on offer to young women across Malvern Hills District as part of a new campaign to inspire them to take part in physical activity.
The 'This Worcs Girl Can' campaign runs between Monday, 29 February and Sunday, 6 March with a week's worth of activities at four schools in the district – The Chase, Dyson Perrins, Tenbury High and The Chantry.
Sports clubs will run taster sessions throughout the week and there will also be an opportunity for girls and young women to attend a special marketplace event being held at each school on the Monday, to find out what is available to them locally.
Local women sports stars will be present at each of the schools and a mass Zumba session is also planned. Anyone who takes part in the campaign will be entered into a prize draw with a number of goodies up for grabs.
In the week leading up to the campaign, more information will be provided in a special assembly within each of the four schools.
In support of the campaign, Malvern Hills District Council, in partnership with Freedom Leisure, will be delivering six weeks of discounted Sportivate Zumba sessions. They are aimed at those aged between 11 and 18-years-old and take place at Dyson Perrins starting on Monday 7 March.
Between 29 February and 6 March, women and girls aged 11 and over can also swim, use the gym or indoor cycling equipment at the relevant district leisure centre for free, thanks to
Freedom Leisure. Anyone interested in the offer should email Jordan firstname.lastname@example.com for more information.
The campaign aims to build on the successful national Sport England 'This Girl Can' scheme and encourage more young women to get involved in sport to develop skills, social networks and general wellbeing.
Action for Children is running the campaign which is being supported by Malvern Hills District Council, among others.
Vanessa Cole, Head of Services at Malvern Hills Early Help, said: "One of the main purposes of this initiative is to support young women to develop positive mental health and self-image.
We are really looking forward to helping lots of young women on the day and seeing them enjoy what the event has to offer."
Cllr David Watkins, Portfolio Holder for Healthier Communities on Malvern Hills District Council, said: "There are many excellent sports clubs and facilities locally that are supporting this campaign. We hope young women will be inspired to get involved with the vast array of opportunities available to them and as a result become more active in their every day lives."
For more information about the week long event, email Vanessa email@example.com, visit www.facebook.com/ThisWorcsGirlCan or follow @WorcsGirlCan on Twitter.

text: Genesis HealthCare, a leading provider of short-term post-acute, rehabilitation and skilled nursing care services, today announced that Genesis HealthCare at Spring Mill, located in Phoenixville, PA, has become its newest PowerBack Rehabilitation location. PowerBack Rehabilitation was launched in the Greater Philadelphia area earlier this year in response to the market demand for shorter post-hospital patient recovery periods and fewer post-discharge setbacks. PowerBack's goal is to help patients get back home as quickly and safely as possible. In describing the philosophy behind PowerBack Rehabilitation, Genesis HealthCare's CEO George Hager said, "Research proves that most people who require rehabilitation therapy after surgery or illness are completely caught off guard with no plan in place. Without a plan, patients and families can become emotional and make rushed decisions. We believe in the importance of planning ahead and PowerBack should be the plan if the patient's goal is a safe and speedy recovery." Designed for 100% short-term care and rehabilitation, most PowerBack Rehabilitation patients typically recover and return home within a few weeks. By calling the PowerBack CareLine, patients can pre-book their stay at PowerBack to allow for a smooth transition from hospital to rehabilitation. PowerBack also encourages people, particularly those 50 and older, to order their own personalized PowerBack Card. "You never know when you will end up in the hospital and in need of rehabilitation," notes Mr. Hager. "It is best to have a plan." Executive Director of PowerBack Rehabilitation in Phoenixville, Thao Wesler explained, "With the newest equipment available and aggressive therapy plans tailored for each individual patient, the entire PowerBack model is designed to help our short stay patients get their Power Back. And we pamper them while they're here." PowerBack Rehabilitation in Phoenixville now offers: • Expanded clinical capabilities to include cardiac, orthopedic and pulmonary specialized care; • Full-time physician and full-time nurse practitioner on campus; • State-of-the art therapy gym open 7 days per week with extended hours; • Added care planning and daily schedules to be directed by the patient; • Enhanced Guest Services team to ensure an outstanding experience; • Café style and in-room Dining Services offering a wide variety of meal choices. http://www.genesishcc.com/ Project Name Genesis HealthCare Location USA Commence NA Completion NA Estimated Investment NA Capacity NA Key Players Genesis HealthCare

Toddlers & Tiaras Flashback: Love Is In The Air. Remembering The Pixie Stix Princesses And Playground Playas.Friday, February 21st, 2014
It's February.
The most heartfelt month of the year.
I don't know if it's the Polar Vortex, residual Valentine's Day mush or just a crash from all the 75% off CVS candy that's got me feeling so redneckulously romantical this month.
(Who cares if it's two weeks later and the candy is heart-shaped? It's still chocolate.)
Whatever the reason, this time of year always makes me miss my Toddlers & Tiaras and all the Life Lessons learned over those six too-short seasons.
Shoot. When they weren't buzzing around hotel lobbies at 70mph or staring blankly into camera lights waiting for their crazy Pageant Moms to get the Hook, those sparkly kids taught me more about love, life and putting the moves on my teeter totter crush than any self-help book I ever download onto my iPad. Thanks for nothing, iTunes.
It's true. I own it. Toddlers & Tiaras pretty much made me who I am today.
I like to call it Toddler Relationships 101.
Like how a good milkshake can always bring the Boyz to the yard. Oh hey, Gurlz.
A subtle bit of Side Eye can make all the difference when playing the game.
Sometimes you just have to tell it like it is. Trust me…the truth hurts.
A dude's gotta do what a dude's gotta do to score nowadays.
Until it backfires and you get busted, of course. Excuse me?
I hear that sometimes honesty is the best policy. But don't quote me.
Unfortunately, no matter how much effort you put into a relationship, sometimes it just ain't gonna happen. Don't even think it.
So you deal with it in your own way and move on.
And when it finally does work, it makes you all like…
So Happy Belated Valentine's Day everyone. Love you. Mean it. And, please…

Salt Lake City, UT (UTAH NEWS) July 5, 2011
The Salt Lake City-based law firm Mumford West & Snow, LLC , today announced the filing of a class action lawsuit against the lawyers for Bank of America and its wholly own subsidiary ReconTrust, N.A. for conducting thousands of unauthorized foreclosures in the state. The lawsuit, filed in Utah's Third Judicial District, is the latest development in an intense, ongoing legal battle in a state where the Utah legislature has recently enacted new civil penalties to assist aggrieved homeowners fighting illegal foreclosures and Utah's Attorney General, Mark Shurtleff, publicly announced that ReconTrust was not in compliance with Utah law.
Lead counsel Marcus R. Mumford explained, "These parties have demonstrated a long standing pattern of illegal activity in taking thousands of homes from Utah homeowners in unauthorized foreclosures. They continue to kick people out of their homes claiming that they are not required to follow Utah law. We intend to put a stop to that."
The lawsuit, now before Utah Third District Judge Andrew H. Stone, is the first class action suit filed after the recently enacted changes to Utah law. Attorney Tyson B. Snow explains, "We recently met with the Utah Attorney General's office on this issue and it is our understanding that one of the purposes of the new law is to encourage this very type of lawsuit." Mumford West & Snow attorneys also intend to seek a statewide restraining order and a preliminary injunction prohibiting the named defendants from conducting any additional foreclosure sales within the state.
Utah's new law awards $2,000 or actual damages, whichever is greater, and attorney's fees to homeowners who have been subject to an unauthorized foreclosure conducted by "unauthorized persons." In the past month, ReconTrust has foreclosed on approximately 200 properties and currently has more than 800 foreclosure sales scheduled in the coming months. The newly filed lawsuit alleges that lawyers for Bank of America and ReconTrust violate Utah law each time they conduct these foreclosure sales. Utah homeowners who have been foreclosed on by ReconTrust or who may currently be facing a wrongful foreclosure can contact Mumford West & Snow through the firms website at http://www.mumfordwest.com

Too old to start playing the piano?
Nonsense! Remember how you felt not long ago when you first heard to word "Internet"? Most of us had absolutely no idea how much we were going to learn over the next 10 or 20 years about computers, about cyberspace, about the very foundations of how we communicate. The fact that you're now on-line reading this article proves you learned all that! And you can learn to play the piano too, no matter how many years you've logged on the calendar.
Not rocket science
As adults, there's good news and bad about whether we "old dogs" can learn a new trick. The bad news for us is that starting out young is a wonderful advantage, considering a child's innate ability to learn complex activities with seeming ease. But don't despair. The good news is that we are not children, we're adults. We've learned what we want, what's available and how to get it; we've developed our hand-eye coordination and fine motor skills; our physical stature—hand size in particular—has grown up to fit the instrument; and we are largely self-directed with a reasonable amount of self-discipline.
While some effort is required to learn to play the piano as an adult, it is significantly less than you might think: participating in a weekly lesson—with a teachable attitude—then consistently putting in the 30 minutes or so of recommended daily practice. In other words, while you can't learn to play the piano while you sleep, the effort required is not a great deal more than that.
Teacher qualification
An obvious difference between adult piano lessons and those designed for children is the teaching method applied. Piano teachers who cater exclusively to children will, for example, focus on pieces expected to interest children, taught using books and other material designed to accommodate children's needs. Thus, the first thing to learn about your prospective instructor is that he or she is either oriented exclusively to adult students, or able to apply significantly distinct teaching methods depending on the age of the pupil. If your prospective teacher seeks to interest you in Twinkle, Twinkle Little Star as opposed to, say, Gershwin's Rhapsody in Blue, it's time to ask a few more questions.
In fact, adult piano lessons are frequently predicated on a student's desire to learn a specific piece of music, or a particular genre such as jazz, classical, popular or even such specifics as seasonal, holiday and special-occasion music. Logistical considerations such as your prospective teacher's location and whether he or she is willing to hold lessons at your location become important, as do those of whether you possess an instrument in-house on which to practice, or will need to practice elsewhere.
In any case, we urge you to spend just a little more time on your quest, and you'll soon discover that the world of adult piano lessons is rich with possibility. You'll also learn that it is never too late to learn to play the piano!

Land-use planning can be a nightmare
As a Seattle-suburbs hobby farmer (horses), widow of a lawyer, mother of four college graduates, and (unpaid) legislative liaison for the King County Property Rights Alliance, I am also one of those "people with an ideological predisposition who are most vulnerable to independence, anti-government and property rights slogans." (Hoo-ha!)
The condescension of the professional planners quoted in your Dec. 26 article on Montanans' rebellion against government control of private land is unbelievable. But not surprising, given my own experience with those same planner types here. Unfortunately, because of the overwhelming majority of liberal voters in Seattle whose expressed desire - -vision," they call it - is to preserve unsullied our private land for their weekend touring enjoyment, we rural landowners came out the big losers in our own recently adopted comprehensive plan.
That plan controls our land use from the width of riparian corridors and wetlands buffers (from which our livestock must be fenced) to the requirement for clustering of the miniscule amount of rural housing allowed after our massive downzonings, with 60-80 percent of our land to be left in untouchable native growth.
The plan pays lip service to promoting farming and forestry, but the back-to-pre-European-natural-vegetation preservation/restoration requirements of that same plan preclude the clearing that is essential for new farms, and hampers existing farming/forestry. There are over 160 pages in the comprehensive plan, plus an inch-and-a-half stack of implementing development regulations, all of which leave us with little but the right to watch the brush grow and pay ever-rising taxes. The controls apply to unincorporated King County, comprising around 80 percent of the county's land area.
How High Country News ever garnered a reputation for being "balanced" I don't know. Its articles/editorials reflect the elitist, control-all attitude of professional planners/environmental extremists whose demands are rapidly decimating both our constitutional rights and our nation's economy.

If you can find a bottle of
That critical question inspired the 2009 launch of a partnership between
Today, Project Last Mile's founding partners and the U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID), announced plans to expand the partnership to eight additional African countries over the next five years, starting with Mozambique. The coalition will invest more than $21 million, plus significant in-kind resources.
"Africa has been a vital part of our business for more than 85 years, and we're committed to doing our part to help people across Africa live healthier and more active lives," said
The initiative leverages the complementary expertise and resources of the four partners, along with Yale's Global Health Leadership Institute, Accenture Development Partnerships (ADP) and the Global Environment & Technology Foundation (GETF). The partners build capability within government agencies responsible for managing the procurement and distribution of essential medicines and medical supplies on how to forecast demand for medicines and better market their availability, and to properly maintain coolers to store medicines and vaccines at the correct temperature.
"As a result of Last Mile, we have been able to implement professional practices that have improved our planning, distribution and performance management processes. This has improved our capability to consistently deliver critical medical supplies throughout Tanzania," said Cosmas Mwaifwani, director general of the Medical Stores Department in Tanzania. "Since we began working with our partners in 2010, we have been able to increase the availability of medicines in medical clinics by 20-30 percent in some places where we have implemented the direct distribution model. Additionally, the partners have shared distribution tools with us to enable us to efficiently reach more than 5,500 health facilities."
According to the World Health Organization (WHO), almost half of all people in Africa lack access to essential medicines, due largely to supply chain inefficiencies, poor infrastructure and limited transportation resources.
"Project Last Mile's partners and collaborators have combined strengths to develop a solution to the challenge of providing access to critical medicines and medical supplies in remote African communities," said Mark Dybul, executive director of the Global Fund. "Together, we are providing innovative and more efficient ways to deliver medicines to public healthcare clinics on behalf of the Ministry of Health."

Teachers Vs 6th Class Rounders
A lot of different characters turned up for this Annual Event. This year Super Mario and Superman made guest appearances! The referee had a difficult job as some teachers were breaking the rules!! Thankfully the game ended in a draw. Thanks to our commentary team on the day.
Active School Week will take place from June 13th to 17th. There is a fantastic week of activities planned so keep an eye here for updates!
Parent's Day for Active Week 2016
Today, 13th June, saw parents get involved in some activities as part of our School's Active Week. There was some skipping, some balloon popping, a water and egg and spoon race! Great fun was had by both parents and children. Thank you to all parents who took part and made the day a success! Thank you also to Ms Power, Ms Beecher and Ms Kearney for organising the activities. Well done everyone!

U.S. soldiers use a lot of fancy, high-tech gadgets.
They drive underwater cars, robots called BigDogs lug around their heavy stuff, and the army is also apparently developing liquid body armor technology.
I guess that's why it was a little surprising to learn that our boys and girls in the Middle East don't yet carry around smartphones and use apps like a lot of us civilians do. The word around the Internet, though, is that these days are coming to end.
The International Business Times recently reported that the U.S. Army is currently working on creating an Android operating system for soldiers stationed in Afghanistan and Iraq. Called the Joint Battle Command-Platform, or JBC-P Handheld, the app will allow users to pinpoint enemy locations on a GPS map for other soldiers to see, and enable them to send photos of wounds and injuries to medical staff for first aid instructions.
The Army hopes to launch the program in 2013.
One military official said the Army decided to start developing the software after catching sight of enemy forces using their smartphones as weapons against U.S. Soldiers.
"One of the most significant feedbacks you get from soldiers in theater is they look at their Afghan army compatriots or the Taliban guy, who has a cell phone," said Lt. Gen. Michael Vane. "We want to deny that capability to our own soldiers even through the enemy is using them?"
If every soldier's going to be carrying an Android phone in 2013, training had best include warnings about the dangers of texting while driving a tank.

I don't you know about you guys, but I have been slacking on commenting on other blogs this summer, and I've have this nagging feeling that I'm not exploring enough new blogs.
So what's a girl to do?
I decided to challenge myself next weekend to dedicate my weekend to commenting back in the blogosphere, and you're all invited to join!
What do I have to do?
Saturday will be dedicated to commenting on new blogs. Saturday morning, I shall roll a die (/use my dice app on my phone, it's 2015 people) and that number will represent how many new blogs I'll visit.
I'll roll the die again and that number will represent how many comments I'll have to leave within the 24 hours of Saturday. This doesn't mean that I'll have to leave X amount of comments per blog, just throughout the day. For example, If I roll 2 for blogs to visit and 5 for comments, I'll have to split up my five comments between the two blogs.
Make sense?
Sunday will be dedicated to commenting on old blogs. Same spiel as Saturday. First roll the die to represent how many blogs you'll have to visit and roll again to see how many comments you'll have to leave.
Luckily the numbers can't exceed 6 so it shouldn't be too hard!
Cool! I want to join!
To participate, just list your blog in the linky below (this will help others find new blogs too) and feel free to share the image above! On Monday, you can write a wrap-up post on how you did (but no pressure, the important thing is to comment)!
Let's have some fun and spread the love! Have any questions? Ask me in the comments!

The inventiveness of tatting
Today was a bit of a wash out – I couldn't face reading a pattern (aforementioned pain in shoulder) and so thought I'd just make some stuff up. I've wanted to try tatting around a ring for a while, found a tutorial on Jane Eborall's site picked up some spare thread, and gave it a […]

Third time lucky?
We shall see. While I was tatting the motif in the previous post, I decided I should really finish stuff off properly; block it and tidy up the ends. There's two reasons really – 1) it would give me a proper sense of achievement when I'd finished and 2) I wouldn't end up with a […]

Read Scott Z.'s review of G Michael's Bistro on Yelp
Read Calley S.'s review of G Michael's Bistro on Yelp
"Chef David Tetzloff, who has been at the helm almost from the beginning (since June 2000), wants the experience to be "approachable and comfortable," and it is. These days, he and sous chef Andrew Duncan are dishing out a menu that runs the gamut of dishes from the American Gulf and Carolina coasts to the soul food of the South and New Orleans. That means, of course, there's no stinting on seasoning or fats; this is rich food. But rich or not, the G. Michael's take on this big slice of American regional cooking is reliable."

The USA and the Do Nothing Lobby
We are witnessing the beginning of a new Cold War. A nation without a vision of itself and its society soon grows weary of its entanglements. If an internal identity is under unceasing critical evaluation and individualism is raised to a pinnacle, above reproach from the group, then pursuit of an external policy will be defined by short term political considerations. We should not dismiss the way this key element of foreign policy has been bungled. President Obama has displayed behavior that is both naïve and unsophisticated; for the ruler of the free world there can be no excuse for this failure. I understand that the man cannot be separated from his ideological or cultural heritage but 'interest' must be defined by the national interest before anything else and it is not in the national interest for the USA to be seen as lacking in imagination or weak, indecisive and cowardly.
In 2008, before his election as President of the United States of America considerable controversy was created by the emphasis placed on his commitment to his Chicago community and its racially divisive preacher. One prominent journalist stated that it was only right he should primarily represent the black community of America. In fact this issue may be part of the legacy from which Obama is unable to escape. As President he is leader of all Americans. His background shapes the man but cannot govern his decisions because America is 320 million people of which only one in eight, are Black. By the same token, his latitude towards the illiberal attitudes of America's friends and enemies has failed to translate into greater stability abroad or heightened security at home.
His 'A New Beginning' Speech in Cairo in June 2009 did not spell out clearly enough the dire need for reciprocity between the Muslim world and the Rest. His speech was full of good intentions which were praised by many in the Muslim world. But it was his failure to understand the mutuality of action that soon showed up the weakness in his policy. In a speech that President Obama delivered in Indonesia in November 2010 he spoke of choosing between being defined by our differences and giving in to a future of suspicion and mistrust or, of forging common ground. In fact the President may have been elucidating a liberal view of the world but 95% of the world is not liberal and he was wrong.
We are defined by our differences and it is our uniqueness that creates our individuality, or in macro terms, our national identity. It is what creates great nations. We forge common ground by understanding and living within those differences where possible. Obama spoke about committing ourselves to the steady pursuit of progress but that already places us, in opposition, to most of the Muslim world unless that progress is defined as being reactionary, homophobic, misogynistic and favorable towards the oppression of minorities.
Lack of purpose also leads to a paucity of influence. Are we witnessing the start of a new cold war? Russia has sought a way back into the front line of nations since the fall of the Iron Curtain in 1991. Without the ideological conflict and control over the physical boundaries that defined the USSR in opposition to the American umbrella of democracy and capitalism, Russia floundered. Without its Eastern European Empire and its respect by fear Russia's place in the world was shaken by internal unrest and renewed insecurity, this time the product of Islamic terrorism and American/German expansion into its traditional geographical spheres of influence.
I am not advocating for military action against the regime of the dictator Bashar al-Assad, but for too long the West found it convenient to ignore the crimes of the Developing World and left foreign policy to political activists within the community of global charities.
But America has failed to grasp an historic opportunity to create a strategic partnership with Russia.
By allowing Russia to manipulate the conflict in Syria to its advantage it has raised its profile above that of the USA demonstrating that while the US talks, Russia acts. It may have made a key ally (Israel) less secure by making it more vulnerable to pressure from both Russia and those nations that will look towards Russia in the future for protection and guidance. It has provided China with the excuse it needed to expand its naval operations into a part of the world from which it has until recently been excluded.
The U.S. government is deeply hated within the Muslim world and certainly, by the vast majority who perceive their inalienable right to conquest as unworthy of debate. It is both a reality of the nature of being a player on the world stage (that others fear and loathe your success in contrast to their failure) and a consequence of the disdain felt by nations whose former imperial glories burn bright in their consciousness with the intense humiliation of their present disrepute.
The most successful wars are those forestalled but only if we are able to remove the underlying causes of conflict. Russian success may perpetuate Syria's agony but also prevent further use of chemical weapons in Syria by creating the momentum for disarmament.
It is estimated that Syria has 1,000 tons of chemical weapons in its non-conventional armory. If Russia is able to achieve supervision of that arsenal under international control (said to be scattered over 50 sites around the country) and to ensure its subsequent destruction it is Russia that will have returned to the World stage, newly revitalized, its prestige and influence raised in contrast to lowered U.S. authority.
If the US thinks it can afford to lose stature on the global stage then it should also remember that those who rely on others to lead from the front end up not leading at all. That is a legitimate choice but also an abdication of America's global position.

Mower County. 1.5 miles north of LeRoy on County 14. Highway map index: L-21.
As Minnesota's southernmost state park, Lake Louise is an attractive introduction to the recreational pleasures of the state. Families will find a peaceful lake setting for picnicking, swimming or hiking.
Weekends draw the most people to the park, but you can lose the crowds by exploring the 11 miles of foot trails. Horseback riders can wander through the park on 10 miles of trails (equestrian campsites are available). When you return to the picnic area, take time to visit the Hambrecht Historical Cottage and Museum. Read more:

Girlfriend would be the closest companion for the guys that would try everything to impress her and keep her happy. The guys would like to take every opportunity to make her feel special. In fact, Valentine's Day would be one of the greatest opportunities to express how much they love their girlfriends.
· Stylish wrist watch: An elegant looking wrist watch could be one of the most exciting Valentine's Day gifts. It would be a great addition to the collection of wrist watches that the recipient girlfriend would like to wear with matching outfits. However, this wrist watch would have greater sentimental value than the other watches she may possess. Every time, she would wear the watch and look into it; she would remember the boyfriend and feel emotionally connected with him.
· Message in a bottle in a modern way: Usually, when we think about the message in a bottle gift, we think of the hand-written love letter inserted into the bottle. However, the guys can have a 'twist in the story'. They can find a USB drive that would be mounted on a wooden cork replica. The USB drive can be inserted into the bottle, with the cork placed as the lid on the bottle. This would be one of the best romantic gifts for her. The USB drive can be filled with soft copies of handwritten love letters. Typed letters and poetry. Even the guys can add some favorite romantic songs that would make the recipient girlfriend feel blushed.
· Bracelet and earrings set made of sterling silver: Sterling silver would be the best choice of metal for fashion jewelry. The aspirant boyfriends can buy a valentine day gift that would add elegance to the personality of the recipient. There would be fantastic designs in the bracelets and earrings added with colorful pearl replicas. Modern jewelry designers would pour the life into every small object they design. Aspirant guys can find the perfect blend of traditional and modern designs at the online gift stores. This set of earrings and bracelet would match with both western and Indian traditional outfits. Thus the recipient girlfriends would love to be gifted with such valuable additions to their collection of personal jewelry.
Aspirant buyers can find fantastic Valentine's Day ideas for her at Giftcart.com. Rather than selecting something predictable, it would be better to gift something uniquely romantic from Giftcart.com. Thus, they can make this Valentine's Day memorable.

Ste. Genevieve, Mo.
Saturday, 28 Jun 1884
[From the Globe-Democrat]
An interesting marriage celebration was that at the residence of Col. Norman J. COLEMAN on Wednesday last. The contracting parties were Mr. Frank
NICHOLSON, a graduate of Washington University, and upon whom was recently conferred the exceptional degree of Master of Sciences, and Miss Katie Ruth ARNER, who graduated from Memorial Hall from the same institution ten days ago.

crowded with the relatives and friends of the young couple,and the knot was tied by Rev. P.G. ROBERT, of the Church of the Holy Communion. The bride was given away by her uncle, Col. Norman J. COLMAN. Prof. W.B. POTTER was the groom's best man and the bride was attended by the dainty little bridesmaids Miss Clara COLMAN and Miss Mamie CUMMINGS. Her mother, Mrs. M.L. ARNER, was present, as were her sister, Miss Annie ARNER, her aunt, Mrs. N.J. COLEMAN. At the close of the ceremony they received the congratulations of their friends and then an elegant repast was indulged in, furnished by BEERS. The presents received were numerous and handsome, including cases of silver, silverware, jewelry, bijouteire, books, fancy work, etc. Among those present were Col. Norman J. COLMAN and wife, Mrs. M.L. ARNER, Miss Laura K. COLEMAN, Miss Maggie ARNER, Miss Clara COLEMAN, Miss Mamie CUMMINGS, Dr. and Mrs. CUMMINGS, Prof. WOODWARD and wife, Capt.

Better Backlink Building
Content is king now for sure, but while most everything has changed with Google (and Bing to a lesser extent) one thing has remained the same. You still need good backlinks. Google uses that to measure the authority of your site and of your content. The other major factors are traffic and social media.
However you just cannot have just any backlinks. The following is Part One on what type of backlinks you need and how to use.
Build Tier One Backlinks
Tier one backlinks are links that point directly to your main website. These links are a large factor in solving the ranking puzzle. To get good tier one backlinks, you need to…
1. They need to be relevant,
Relevancy is the most important criteria for effective link acquisition.
I have never had a website penalized that had a 100% relevant tier one of backlinks.
Google bases "relevancy" on these three things:
- The general content "theme" of the linking domain
- The content on the linking page
- The relevancy of the backlinks hitting the domain
2. Strong sites linking to your site
The stronger the site, the better the results.
3. Get your backlinks from REAL websites
4. Use the proper anchor text
Wrong anchor text distribution will definitely inhibit your site from ranking. Aggressive anchor text can land you a penalty.
What do I mean by aggressive? Having all your links coming from keywords. Keep your exact match anchor text below 1%.
The majority of your anchor text should be branded (your company name) or naked link anchors (click here, or go here etc.).
5. Get only backlinks from high integrity websites
What that basically means is don't have your links coming from sites that have anything to do with porn or gambling. Or any site that has those type of links pointing to them. Only good "clean" sites.
Stay tuned for our next post on what backlinks to avoid.

yaoihuntresse Colossus Wise Men Distracted Thursday 17/10/2013, 15:48
One thing that is fun about the fandom is seeing all the theories and stuff that pop-up when there's a leak or hint. And since the FB page has hinted at what one of the NBs is (https://www.facebook.com/photo.php?fbid=561669083886979&set=pb.287094061344484.-2207520000.1382017100.&type=3&theater) any ideas? I'm going with a female Beetlejuicie and it looks like John Sein's art.
Pilluminati Imperator URBAN MADNESS Thursday 17/10/2013, 18:21
Most likely Beetlejuice,i couldnt think of who the hourglass shaped ghost is though...
yaoihuntresse Colossus Wise Men Distracted Thursday 17/10/2013, 22:24
Time was an aspect in the movie (the ghost couple had to stay in the house for 125 years.) I think it would be funny if it is a female Beetlejuice, that her name is Lydia.

Hello, my name is Katie. I'm an artist, specializing in 2D concept art. This marks my final year as a student at California State University, Chico, so I figured it was only logical to start getting my work out there and connect with other artists, animators, and game developers.
This blog will primarily be a project update and portfolio blog with a few events interspersed between pictures and videos. (Hint hint – I will be at GDC16 this coming March!) I won't be doing a lot of curatorial or tutorial work here, as my focus is new content creation. However, a few extremely awesome things I can't help but share might make a showing. I'll try to keep it all relevant.
I am constantly learning and improving on my skills. One of the best ways to do that is by receiving an outside opinion. If you have questions, comments, critiques, or suggestions, please let me know! I would prefer any links or images to be privately messaged to me rather than put in the comments. For everything else I will leave to your discretion in the comment/PM dilemma.
If you're interested in learning more about me, follow the link to the About Katie page. If you're wanting to see where I get my inspiration or how I spend the rest of my time, head over to Tea & Trinket.
Thank you for taking the time to view my blog!

Outspoken Gloucester centre Eliota Fuimaono-Sapolu expects to be hit with a lengthy ban when he comes up in front of an RFU panel in Bristol on Monday evening.
The Samoan centre was hit with three charges of disrepute last week and is currently serving a six-month suspended sentence from the International Rugby Board following a hearing at the end of the World Cup. And despite support from Gloucester, the 31-year-old has revealed he would ask the Cherry and Whites to rip up his contract if he is hit with a ban.
"I do expect to be banned now, I can't see another outcome," Fuimaono-Sapolu told the Gloucester Citizen. "Gloucester have been great with me throughout this whole situation, and if it were to come down to a six-month ban, they would not really have much other option than to cancel my contract.
"And I would not stand in their way from that, in fact that would be the right course of action."
The Samoan centre started for Gloucester in their 24-19 win over Exeter Chiefs at Sandy Park on Saturdat and Bryan Redpath is keen to highlight his ability on the field rather than the controversy he has courted off it.
"Players' player of the year, sponsors' player of the year, fans' player of the year, try of the year; probably one of the best 12s at the World Cup," Redpath said. "We can't question Eliota's rugby ability: never have, never will.
"And what he's given Gloucester, some of the young players alongside him, and some of the senior players too, he is an exceptionally talented rugby player. If that was his last game, then he's helped his team win away from home where we've never had a really strong record. He's been a key part to that, and but what will be on Monday will be.
"If other things kick in and take that away, they take that away. What he can remember if that's his last game is a win away at Exeter. And that's a very tough place to play, it's a really good rugby club, a very honest, humble rugby club. So whatever the decision is on Monday, we've got a big 80 minutes there that we can remember all the players for.
"He's one hell of a player, and I've got a lot of time for him.He's in hot water, and that's the way it is. What happens next will be dealt with after the hearing. First and foremost I'm interested in the performance. External things happen, and how we deal with them will come on Monday.
"His performances both last week and again on Saturday were great, so I can't question how he is performing for Gloucester and the team, in terms of the playing department. He's got some other things around the outsides of it that need to be tidied up, they will be tidied up and everybody will act accordingly off the back of that.
"Monday night is an RFU disciplinary that we have to deal with then."

The committee, if launched, will visit the presidential office and related institutions to obtain the return of the statue to the city, the civic group told a press conference.
If the statue, believed to be from the Unified Silla Dynasty (668-918), is returned to the city, the committee will place the 108-centimeter-high statue back in the ruins of Igeo Temple after holding an exhibition about it.
In 1912, Ryozo Ohira, a director of Gyeongju Financial Cooperative, had it transported to the residence of then-governor-general of Korea, Masatake Terauchi, on Mount Nam in Seoul. Historical records show Ohira presented the statue to Terauchi to curry favor with him. Korea was under Japan's colonial rule from 1910-45.
In 1939, the statue was moved to what is now the presidential office's premises, as Japan built the office of the governor-general inside Gyeongbok Palace, the main royal residence of Korea's Joseon Dynasty in central Seoul. It is not known how Ryozo Ohira acquired the statue.
In June last year, President Moon Jae-in instructed officials to re-evaluate the Buddhist statue, and the Cultural Properties Committee designated the statue a national treasure in April this year.
The civic body said it is the local community's wish that the valuable cultural property looted by Japan be returned to its original place. (Yonhap)

Happy Hour Menu
Sunday Brunch
Wine Dinner Nov. 3
The Yellow House Hotel, surrounded by the rolling farmlands of rural Berks County, Pennsylvania, provides a delightful departure from the everyday... fine dining and comfortable overnight accommodations await you.
The Yellow House Hotel, built in 1801 at the intersection of Routes 662 and 562 in the scenic Oley Valley, originally served as a stagecoach stop and country store for travelers between Reading and Philadelphia. Since then, the Yellow House Hotel has evolved into a restaurant and hotel with a fine dining reputation for its delectable bill of fare and pleasing, comfortable atmosphere. The influence of the Yellow House Hotel on the surrounding area is evidenced by the local hamlet which bears the name of Yellow House. The hotel has played an integral part in the local history, housing a general store, the village switchboard and a post office. While the ownership of the Yellow House Hotel has changed hands over the years more than 25 times, the hotel has remained a charming focal point of the Oley Valley, both inside and out.
The inn consists of five bedrooms on the second floor for overnight accommodations. A second floor dining room is available to our guests and may be reserved for holidays and small gatherings. The restaurant includes three separate dining rooms and a pub/tavern area for your dining pleasure.

Just Let Me Cry
8 comments:
Sweet Heidi,ReplyDelete
I can't begin to imagine the emotions you have felt over the last several days!! I am so sorry friend! I just wanted to thank you for your example and spirit. I found your post today and song just at the time I needed it. I'll keep you and your sweet family in my thoughts and prayers!
My heart is aching for you, my friend. Cry away. Grieve away. I am so sorry. You are in my prayers.ReplyDelete
You have every right to be heart broken. Something that has helped me deal with loss is to allow myself to imagine in detail the thing my heart longs for. In my imaginary world everything works out just the way I want it to. It is a comforting substitute even though it is not the real thing. I acknowledge my heart's desires when I use my imagination in this way.
Heidi, you are an inspiration. Best of everything to you and your sweet family.ReplyDelete

I'm so excited that the Resort collections have finally hit the stores. I picked up this Christopher Kane sweatshirt before leaving NYC… perfect for cool mornings here in Costa Rica. I know it's been a mild winter back home and to be honest, I'm somewhat dreading the return back. We're having a fabulous time under the sun for the past few days. I don't think I'm ready to ditch my Missoni swimming trunks to wear fur again…

Did Intel Just Get Strong-ARMed Out of the Mobile Market?
It's hard to feel much concern for Intel (NAS: INTC) as it battles for mobile market relevance. Sure, ARM Holdings (NAS: ARMH) claims its designs are in 95% of the mobile phone market. But ARM is still tiny compared with the original chip king -- its entire 2010 revenue stream amounted to a mere tenth of Intel's R&D budget.
Intel should be poised to dominate mobile processing through sheer size and financial strength, but unless it can out-innovate its mobile-focused competitor, no amount of money will help it regain share. And ARM is working hard to keep innovating -- its newly-unveiled chip architecture could become Intel's biggest setback yet.
Splitting the work used to mean something different
While dual-core chips have been old hat for years, the typical design matches two identical wafers for improved performance. ARM's new idea is a radical departure, pairing a heavy-lifting processing powerhouse with a power-sipping chip version of a long-distance runner. The chips -- dubbed Cortex-A15 and Cortex-A7, respectively -- would pass duties back and forth as needed, saving battery power over current designs. The smaller overall chip size should also offer cost savings large enough to make smartphones the next electronic commodity. Texas Instruments (NYS: TXN) Apple, (NAS: AAPL) and Broadcom, (NAS: BRCM) among other ARM licensees, will start testing the new architecture any day now, with mass use expected by 2014.
Who wins in a commoditized market?
Smartphone price plunges could be a mixed bag for Apple. The House of Jobs has dominated the mobile market's profit share to the point where it recently earned two out of every three dollars in industry profits. Can it continue to extract such high prices from its slick designs when they'll have to compete with carrier-subsidized smartphones running on ARM's Cortex pair? The Cortex-powered phones of 2014 are projected to cost under $100, lower than all but the 3GS, Apple's oldest iPhone still available.
Nokia's (NYS: NOK) seen its profit share drop precipitously since the iPhone's release, so this new chip style ought to be right up its Finnish alley. Cheap smartphones could resurrect the company's moribund fortunes and give it a bigger foothold in megamarkets India and China, to say nothing of regaining lost share in America and Europe. With its Microsoft (NAS: MSFT) partnership offering familiar functionality, Nokia could finally restore its shrinking profit stream to the raging rapids of old.
There's always a catch
Splitting a processor into two distinct roles is a brilliant take on an obvious problem -- how do you make your mobile devices last longer without sacrificing the functionality that makes them so attractive? But that innovation requires compatibility. Microsoft, Apple, and Google will need to reprogram their operating systems to accommodate the unique architecture.
That gives Intel some time to play catch-up, but the window isn't open very wide, and it won't be for very much longer. Microsoft's already built ARM support into Windows 8, and the three OS makers have every incentive to keep their users online and active as long as possible. Intel may have convinced Google to give it a chance, but the hard part is going to be getting phone manufacturers like Apple and Samsung to actually use its chips.
Intel's last, best hope at conquering the mobile space is the time between testing and wider adoption. A lot could happen between now and 2014, so add these companies to your Watchlist to stay informed of any new skirmishes in the war for the smartphone market.

Bangalore, India
On October 15, 2012, Bricsys released the English language version of BricsCAD V13 for the Windows® operating system. As detailed during the conference in Amsterdam, this V13 release coincides with the major rebranding effort including a refresh of the website www.bricsys.com
Guy Vancollie, the new Chief Marketing Officer of Bricsys provided us with some background information and the underlying rationale behind the rebranding effort.
"After some ten years in the market, the BricsCAD offering has evolved from what started as an IntelliCAD®-based clone of AutoCAD®, to what is now a leading provider of dwg-based Unified CAD software, based on a solid foundation of both in-house software and components from the Open Design Alliance", said Guy Vancollie.
"So the time had come to reflect the company's changing nature in the industry, from a second tier player to a major contender, and translate this into a fresh new look, which will carry the brand forward for the next ten years!" is what Guy Vancollie had to say.
Bricsys decided to focus the branding efforts around the company's main offering, the CAD software BricsCAD and Chapoo (the erstwhile Vondle). The new logo, the new look and feel rolled out earlier in the week throughout the company's social media and web presence, reflect the contemporary and forward looking nature of the company.
Bricsys believes this is a "thoroughly 21st century business model, sources the best development resources throughout Europe, Asia-Pac and the Americas and delivers its software solutions and support services through an online business platform with local sales points in more than 70 countries worldwide."
"As we finalize the rollout of our branding refresh, we will now focus on expanding our messaging to better reflect the leadership nature of the BricsCAD software platform, and its uniqueness in providing customers with a single dwg-based CAD platform to take care of all their design needs from simple 2D drafting to advanced 3D direct modeling. We expect to do this together with you so that we can also stress the breadth and depth of the solutions brought to market by the BricsCAD Solution Partner community", said Guy in a message that strongly conveys his urgency to improve the communication, visibility and awareness of Bricsys and BricsCAD, that may have been lacking in many geographies.

We all like to be recognized- particularly when we work hard. It's even better when that recognition comes from professional illustrators, AND your work is compared to that of Chris Van Allsburg!
Recently I was awarded Honorable Mention in a Society of Visual Storytelling contest. Jake Parker, a comics short-story creator, concept artist, illustrator, and animator, said about my art, "Beautiful image and use of a spot color. Reminds me of Chris Van Allsburg. Anytime you get mentioned with a 3 time Caldecott winning illustrator you know you are doing solid work!" Wow- I was thrilled!
The theme for the February contest was octopus and immediately bells went off in my head. I have a (mostly) black and white illustration named Kraken. The picture book illustration features a little boy climbing into bed, grabbing his rubber ducky. At the same time, a drawer opens with light (and something else) coming out. The illustration is filled with lots of fun details that lends an air of surrealism.
You may see a slightly different version of this illustration elsewhere on my sight. I added details to enhance the story. It's important to look at your work objectively and reflect on what can make it better.
This is the perfect picture to use with children to get them to observe carefully and inspire them to write a rich, detailed story. Here is my Observation Checklist to help students write their ideas before the first draft. This way they have a list of ideas to incorporate into their story, while still using the illustration as a reference. I've used this technique in class and I'm often happily surprised when kids see the tiny details that most adults don't. It's these details that create a better story.
Special thanks to Jake Parker and Will Terry, two professional illustrators who run SVS, the Society of Visual Storytelling. Jake Parker also runs Inktober, a fun way to draw every day and join an artist community.
