Botetourt, Va. – North Greenville University's recent streak of athletic success continued on Saturday as the Lady Crusader softball team was crowned the 2011 NCCAA National Champions after defeating Simpson University.
After defeating Central Baptist to advance to the championship, Simpson defeated North Greenville 9-0 to force a winner-take-all final game.
Three costly errors contributed to the early loss as the Lady Red Hawks scored runs in the first, second and fourth innings while pounding out nine hits, including three doubles.
Kimberly Robertson started the game but was chased from the mound before recording an out. Robertson allowed three runs on two hits and walking one batter, only facing four batters in the first inning. Courtney Campbell came on to pitch five innings of relief, allowing six runs on nine hits and walking three batters.
At the plate, the Lady Crusaders were only able to muster four hits. Liz Pitts was a perfect 2-for-2, while Robertson and Marielena Santos each finished the game 1-for-3.
In the final game of the tournament, North Greenville was able to defeat Simpson 2-1 and claim their first ever national title.
The Lady Hawks jumped on the board early, scoring a run in the second inning after Paige Gomez drove in the team's only run of the game with an RBI single. North Greenville quickly tied the game at 1-1 in the fourth inning after Taylor Roof led off the inning with a double to left field and was eventually brought home by a Emily Campbell RBI single.
With the scored tied 1-1, the Lady Crusaders went into the bottom of the seventh needing production in order to avoid extra innings. After Pitts flied out to center field, Santos tripled to right field. With one on and one out, Simpson pitcher Morgan Davis threw a wild pitch, allowing Santos to score the game-winning run.
Roof once again picked up the win for North Greenville, her fourth in a row. Roof pitched a complete game, allowing just one run on three hits while striking out five batters.
E. Campbell was the leader on offense for the Lady Crusaders as she finished the game 1-for-3 with an RBI. Roof was 1-for-2 with a double and a run scored, while Santos was 1-for-4 with a triple and a run scored.
"It was rough season at the start," said assistant coach Dustin Fuls. "But when it came time, the girls stepped up when it mattered the most and we are very proud of all of them for their hard work."
The Lady Crusaders finish the 2010-11 season with a 23-25 overall recording including a NCCAA South Regional Tournament Championship and the 2011 NCCAA National Championship.


text: Gravitas was one of the Roman virtues, along with pietas, dignitas, and virtus, that were particularly appreciated in leaders. Evidence shows that it was most likely influenced by the Greek virtue of Arete. It may be translated variously as weight, seriousness, dignity, and importance and connotes a certain substance or depth of personality. It also conveys a sense of responsibility and commitment to the task. In the British education system, gravitas was seen as one of the pillars of the moral formation of the English gentleman during the Victorian and Edwardian eras.

SINGAPORE - Your CPF fund is a suitable and safe product for secure retirement: Whatever you put into your fund will come out as your life payouts.
This was repeatedly emphasised by Straits Times invest editor and senior correspondent Lorna Tan to a packed audience of about 340 people at the Central Public Library on Friday (March 23), many of whom were taking down notes fervently as she spoke.
Ms Tan was speaking at the ninth edition of a series of askST @ NLB talks, entitled Retire Smart via CPF.
The talks, held monthly since last July, are organised by The Straits Times and the National Library Board (NLB). Each session comprises a talk, often by a Straits Times editor or correspondent, followed by a question-and-answer segment.
Ms Tan discussed the different CPF Life plans, breaking down the pros and cons of each plan and the factors one must consider in deciding which to choose.
"For those who are worried about inflation and higher cost of living, the Escalating Plan is something you can consider that might counter that," said Ms Tan. She highlighted that, instead of level payouts, retirees who choose this new CPF Life plan, which was introduced at the start of this year, can expect monthly payouts that increase over time.
This, however, might come at the expense of lower initial payouts.
Those who are looking to save more for their loved ones can choose to opt for the Basic Plan. The plan offers lower payouts in order to save a larger bequest for nominees, while those needing higher level monthly payouts for themselves can settle for the Standard Plan.
Ms Tan then went on to explore ways of growing one's CPF fund, a key topic of interest for the night not only for seniors, but younger adults as well.
For instance, she suggested periodically transferring some money into one's Special Account (SA), allowing that sum to capitalise on the SA's relatively higher interest rate.
"Even when you're young you have to think of how you can save long term. Making that a habit really saved me," shared Ms Tan.
Said Mr Josh Quek, 64, after the event: "The talk was useful to me because some of the things, like the Escalating Plan, are very new to me."
"It's also great to have a talk that I can come and listen to. It's more practical and informative than simply reading from a website or book," he added, saying that he had decided to attend the talk to ensure that he did not miss out on any information that he might not have found on the CPF website.
A book signing for Ms Tan's book, Retire Smart, was held after the talk.
The next askST talk on April 27 will feature Life editor Tan Hsueh Yun, who will speak about how social media has changed the way that chefs create dishes. Those interested may sign up at http://str.sg/askHsueh.

It is a matter of a few days before the curtain goes up at the 57th edition of the Salone del Mobile.Milano, the most important international event in the world of design and furnishing.
The historic company located in Forlì, leader in the upholstered furniture sector Made In Italy will be present at the exhibition with a completely renewed stand in line with its new company identity.
As already leaked a few weeks ago through the brand official social networks, Gorini Divani seizes the opportunity of the Salone Internazionale to unveil the results of the long process of renewing its image.
This reviewing process, undertaken last autumn together with KAERU – a consulting and web design company located in Cesena, already a partner of important local businesses- has involved different strategic elements of the trademark.
The historical logo has been revisited in a contemporary perspective to meet the branding needs which are becoming more and more linked to the digital world without losing the strong link with craftsmanship Made In Italy.
Gorini Divani's new logo is therefore easy to recognize, immediate and – in its own way – it evokes the product thanks to the rounded and sinuous shapes that echo sofas design.
The next step has been the complete restyling of the website, which has been reviewed both in its graphical and navigational aspects. The new website presents parallel paths at the discovery of the two collections, GH – Gorini Heritage and DEGŌ – Design Gorini, which have now a rationalized image and find a new space characterized by brightness, simplicity and content focus.
Focus on contents may be found, besides the practical product sheets, in a in an innovation in the brand communication: "On Our Skin" is the Gorini Divani's blog, a sort of pivot for the new digital strategy around which an online communication made of stories and images unfolds towards the social networks.
A crucial role in the new identity is covered by photos.
Fresh, wide and evocative photos about the history of the Italian know-how, told by the numerous details immortalized by Andrea and Monica Danesi, photographers of reference for the company who cleverly capture the very essence of each of our models . And the large image on the home page, conceived and taken by Matteo Bosi, sering as a pioneer for the new creative concept which will characterize the stand, designed by Alessandro Fiorini also this year.
The series of "Skin on Skin" photos – explains Bosi – tells through an aesthetic quotation the unique pleasure of a traditional shot where time, wear and scratch, far from being signs of degradation, give a particular charm and poetry becoming the tangible evidence of a work designed for lasting over time, precisely by virtue of its changing nature.
If you want to learn more, the date is set:
from april 17th to 22nd at Salone del Mobile di Milano (Italy)
Hall 14, Booth B20.

Lord Lofthouse of Pontefract
The Parliamentary Rugby League Group has received the sad news that that its President, Lord Lofthouse of Pontefract has passed away, aged 86.
Known to all as Geoff, he served as the MP for Pontefract and Castleford from 1978 to 1997, and as Deputy Speaker of the House of Commons from 1992. He was one of the
founding Members of the Parliamentary Rugby League Group and for many years served as its Chairman before becoming President in 2011.
On hearing the news,Group Chairman Leeds North West MP Greg Mulholland said "we in the Group will remember Geoff for his passion for the sport he loved and the communities it supports, excites and serves. His own service to rugby league within Parliament and outside cannot be easily conveyed, so profound are the ramifications of his perseverance in changing the nature of professionalism across all sports. He challenged much on behalf of the sport and we and the wider rugby league community owe a profound debt of gratitude for all that that he did.
"We believe him to be the only Member of Parliament to have played rugby league at professional level. We know him also as a stalwart of the amateur game, and his role
within BARLA similarly cannot be underestimated."
Geoff's successor in the Ponteftact and Castleford seat is Yvette Cooper, also a Member of the Parliamentary Rugby League Group. She said "I will miss Geoff very much. He was a dear friend, always wise, thoughtful, and compassionate but also determined in the fight against injustice and unswerving in his loyal service for people of this area. Geoff's fight to get compensation for miners with emphysema and other illnesses was a powerful campaign for justice and has helped thousands of families across the coalfields."
She continued "But I will always remember the long chats we used to have, Geoff's no-nonsense approach and also his warm chuckle. My thoughts and sympathies are with all Geoff's family and friends now. I think the whole community will want to pay tribute to Geoff and the immense contribution to our area he made."
Mulholland added "Every year, the Group awards an honour to an individual who it feels has
provided outstanding services to the sport of rugby league. I feel one of the most fitting ways we can ensure Geoff remains a focus for Members of Parliament is to rename the award to something befitting Geoff's service."
Group Officers, Parliamentary colleagues and friends Lord Hoyle and Lindsay Hoyle MP added
"It was a privilege to work with Geoff. His commitment for Rugby, BARLA and love of Featherstone was second-to-none. There is no doubt he will be sorely missed."
On behalf of the Group, Mulholland has today written to Lord Lofthouse's daughter. The funeral is being held at All Saints in Pontefract at 1415 on 8th November.

Staying in Shape as You Age
With how hectic almost everybody's schedule has become, it seems impossible already to be doing something that is not a waste of your precious time. Nonetheless, with multi-tasking, there is no more need for you to set some time aside to do exercises because you can just squeeze them in between schedules. In modern times, there are countless other ways for you to be able to stay in good shape that will also allow you the time to be doing something else. Staying in shape has stirred a lot of media attention in the current day and age. This is especially the case since a lot of people are now becoming conscious of how important it is that their bodies stay in shape and are healthy enough. Professionals and experts alike claim that exercising must be done on a regular basis or at least three to four times in a week. Your body only becomes healthy and in shape if you make sure to do routine exercises. On the other hand, if you fail to do this, then you are bound to fall victim to certain issues as your grow old. Here are some examples of methods that you can utilize if you want to stay in shape and at the same time save time.
While watching television during the night, try doing some sit-up and push-up exercises.
If you are traveling not so long distances, it would be a great thing to do some bicycling or walking instead of just car driving.
Try spending your afternoons doing some lawn mowing.
If you have a pet dog, then you can do some walking with them.
If your budget permits, get a treadmill that you can make use of while you are watching television.
Park your car a block away from your destination and make sure to take a walk on the rest of the way.
Ensure to secure some time to play with your children outside of your home at least every day.
Make sure to join a swimming pool membership.
Those just mentioned above are some ways in which you can stay in shape by ensuring to at least include them in your everyday life. You need not make sure to include each of these suggestions in detail, just make sure to include some and incorporate them in your everyday routine. Your health is one factor that you should be pay close attention to and one way to ensure its health and shape is to do exercises.
You are more prone to unhealthy consequences if you are a regular consumer of cigarettes as well as alcohol. In these situations, you can still do some exercises to balance the scale but you have to do it with more effort. With both these bad habits in mind and not exercising, you are decreasing your chances of surviving long.

text: On Thursday December 20th the U6 Business students were given the opportunity to visit the recently opened Costa in Horncastle. They were able to meet the store manager Ellie Goodband (centre of the photo above) who has responsibility for several other Costa outlets. This resulted in some very interesting questions and discussions relating to business concepts that are part of the A-level business syllabus. It was great to see students so engaged with this and they will have developed a good understanding of a business which they could use as an example in their exams. They also enjoyed some delicious drinks and food and discovered that Costa has a special table for revision which the business students are planning to make use of!

Botox is a neuromodulator that is cosmetically used to reduce and minimize the lines and wrinkles commonly in areas such as the forehead, eyes, and between the brows. Therapeutically, Botox is known to also treat excessive sweating in the underarms, hands and feet as well as Temporomandibular Joint Disorder "TMJ ".
Hyperhidrosis is a disorder which causes excessive sweating to the underarms, soles of the feet and palms of the hands. The neuromodulator known as "Botox" or "Dysport" is a safe and effective treatment. It works by blocking the nerve triggers that causes the body to perspire and decrease the overactive production.
Facial fillers consist of hyaluronic acid that is used to restore volume loss in certain areas of the face. Most commonly used to reduce the signs of aging and loss of elasticity due to the natural process of aging by helping to build and contour facial structures.
Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP)
Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) for facial rejuvenation involves a simple injection of your own platelets into the dermal layer of your skin. PRP for Facial Rejuvenation will increase blood supply to the areas where injected and supply the tissues with growth factors and promote collagen and elastin fibers to regenerate. Typically this treatment is used to correct dark circles under the eyes, or to remodel the foundation of the skin targeting fine lines and wrinkles.

Cavs Roundtable: NBA Finals Edition
1. Which team has the better bench?
Chris Kozimer: Without a doubt, the better bench is the Cavaliers. The main reason that I say this is because they have had to rely much more heavily on their bench this postseason, due to injuries. After Kevin Love went out, Tristan Thompson was asked to play an increased role, and has absolutely flourished. When Kyrie was forced to miss a majority of the series against the Hawks, Matthew Dellavedova made up for it by showing that hustle can matter more than skill. It seems like every time we've faced adversity this postseason, bench players keep stepping up and playing above their perceived abilities.
Max Alter: Warriors. This one's a pretty close one. The Cavs and Warriors both have three or so guys that are really gonna get significant playing time off the bench. This turns into a debate where we decide whether Delly, Shump, and James Jones are better than Iguodala, Shaun Livingston, and Andrew Bogut (pending Marreese Speights' return). While Delly has been picking up slack that Kyrie hasn't been able to while Kyrie has been hurt, Shaun Livingston is a much more experienced and developed NBA guard. That's the bench matchup that really is the deciding factor. Iguodala would be a starter virtually anywhere else in the country and the Warriors have David Lee on the bench playing a Shawn Marion type role. Maybe if Kevin Love were back and we had TT on the bench, it'd be different, but I'll go with the Warriors bench as of now.
Jacob Linkous: In all honesty, the Warriors bench, one of which featured many appraised players this season, has been switched immensely since the start of the playoffs. The Warriors ended the season with Iggy playing in the starting line up and now Harrison Barnes has overtaken Iggy and now Iggy serves as the best bench piece for the Warriors. David Lee, one of their biggest keys to success only played 19 seconds in their last game and it seems that the bench is just aging at a fast pace. The Warriors will have trouble keeping up with the Cavaliers if they are forced to reach deep into their bench. On the other side, the Cavaliers have a very old bench, but the experience that the bench brings overweighs their aging bodies. The Cavaliers have progressively added minutes to James Jones since the injury of Kevin Love. Perkins has also come off the bench a few times, although there are younger pieces off the bench including Delly and J.R.. Some of the pieces added in July and August are not seeing the floor recently such as Mike Miller and Shawn Marion. However, the biggest question mark for the Cavaliers bench was the point guard position and with the absence of Kyrie Irving we have seen that Dellavedova can produce off the bench and in the starting role.
Chris Sladoje: Both teams have really cut down their bench usage in the playoffs, but I have to give this one to the Warriors. Andre Iguodala, Shaun Livingston, and Leandro Barbosa have gotten a majority of the bench minutes this postseason. I think those three guys beat out the Cavs and their bench of JR Smith, Matthew Dellavedova, and James Jones. This would be a different story if Kevin Love were healthy, which would force Tristan Thompson to come off the bench. As it stands, Golden State just goes deeper. Would you rather have David Lee and Marreese Speights getting garbage time minutes or Mike Miller and Kendrick Perkins.

I write a bunch of guest posts.
Usually I see 2-5 guest posts of mine published daily.
Meaning I receive hundreds of comments on my guest posts monthly.
Toss in the 30-80 to even 100 plus comments I receive on my posts at Blogging From Paradise and you get the idea I have a few comments on my creations.
I can only respond to a few of these comments. Because my time, talents and energy are best spent doing other things like creating more guest posts, Facebook Live videos, YouTube live videos, Periscope videos and podcasts.
I probably have a few hundred things to do daily. Meaning I can only spend a few minutes daily responding to a few of these comments.
If a fellow blogging buddy feels disappointed or frustrated that I cannot respond to comments on the guest post I placed I totally understand their feeling but I can only do what I can do.
Meaning, I've had to develop the skill of being OK with and releasing other folk's disappointment with me as my workload increases.
Watch this video to see me explain this concept. Also watch if you want to see Molly the Naughty Cat knock over a glass of water.
As you become more established online you will receive more opportunities for interacting with friends, new readers and a whole range of individuals. This is part and parcel with expanding your blogging presence.
Some outright impatient folks will expect a response to their message within minutes if not hours. These folks are either newbies bloggers, struggling bloggers, or have simply never managed a thriving venture which demands hundreds of things for you to do daily.
Either you feel guilty or worried about not responding in minutes or hours or you let go the individual's pleas. You betcha that letting go a needy or desperate or disappointed individual is the easiest and quickest way to sprint up in blogging circles.
Established, authority, pro bloggers get it; they know how busy things get. No seasoned, busy as Hades blogger would demand your response to their message or email within minutes or hours because they too know how busy things get.
When you let go folks who are not as busy you align, connect with and befriend folks who are more busy. Easy peasy way to move up in blogging circles although at times these experiences may be uncomfortable.
I had to face, embrace, feel and release feelings of guilt, rejection, or having people feel disappointed in me, before I could release on someone's disappointment or annoyance within seconds versus hours.
Even better? I stayed on task, doing what felt most fun, freeing, inspired and enjoyable to me.
Writing 14 to 28 guest posts this week and creating 21 live videos is a better, more enjoyable use of my time and talents versus responding to hundreds of comments on guest posts I submitted. Learning this art of discernment took some time because I had to get clear on my intent of having fun, serving others and following my passion versus surrendering to the fear, attachments and in some cases, desperation of fellow entrepreneurs.
The Tip of Tips
Learn how to move on quickly when someone begs you to help them incessantly. Or when someone asks for something a bit beyond what you can offer.
Be with any feelings of guilt, commitment, or attachment to an individual.
Sear this idea onto your mind: "You can only do what you can do."
Embodying this concept has been the foundation of me being able to enjoy my life offline as I travel the world. No way I'd be able to spend hours a day sampling the sites and sounds of places like Bali, Fiji and NYC if I was tied to my blogging online work for 17 hours a day, allowing myself to be pulled in 150 different directions by folks with their attachments.
You can only do what you can do.

Although Assassin's Creed, the primary installment by Ubisoft to the current franchise has been out for quite few years currently, there has been a great deal of negative banter announce round the net regarding this game. i'm inscribing this review merely to share my opinion on the matter and to undertake and provides this game the commendations it deserves. If you were to check this game with its sequels then positive, it's pretty weak, however considering however way back it had been developed and the way recent the concept was at the time, Assassin's Creed could be a breakthrough.
2007 was a year wherever first-person shooters extremely took off, with extremely fashionable games like decision of Duty four and BioShock being discharged. Assassin's Creed might have simply been pushed down gamers' would like lists in favor of those additional intense shooters however thanks to its recent gameplay and plot line, it attained noble metal standing in but a year.
The game takes place in modern-day and at the beginning you play as Desmond Miles, a barkeep WHO is captured by worldwide corporation known as Abstergo Industries. he's forced to live over the recollections of his assassin ancestors with the assistance of a machine known as the ill will and though he's the underlying main character, you'll play as double star for the bulk of the sport. when atiny low prelude, you're discharged into the large free running playground and things extremely begin to become pleasant. Compared to alternative previous games of this genre, the animation and graphics ar merely beautiful. The recreation of historical locations is incredibly well done and looking out out across the urban vistas from eerie heights was an excellent expertise on behalf of me. The free running is de facto swish and quick paced for the foremost half and also the stealing and fighting components ar moderately sensible though a great deal of labor has been done to boost this within the following games.

Corporate Animals, a new independent movie starring Demi Moore, Jessica Williams, and Ed Helms filmed in Santa Fe, New New Mexico over the past month. The movie originally starred Sharon Stone, but she exited in May due to "scheduling conflicts" and was replaced by Moore. In the movie, Moore plays the ego-driven CEO of Incredible Edible Cutlery, a firm that sells edible cutlery. During a corporate retreat to New Mexico, for team building, the group gets trapped underground taking "team building" in a whole new direction.
Also See: New Netflix Series, Messiah, to Film in Santa Fe
The movie is a dark comedy that is directed by Patrick Brice ("Creep," "Creep 2," "The Overnight"), and produced by Keith Calder and Jessica Calder ("Blindspotting," "Anomalisa," "Blair Witch," "The Guest") for Snoot Entertainment, along with Mike Falbo and Ed Helms ("The Fake News with Ted Nelms," "The Clapper") for Pacific Electric. The screenplay was written by Sam Bain ("Four Lions," "Peep Show"), one of the UK's premier comedy writers.
In addition to Santa Fe, the movie also filmed in Abiquiu, New Mexico.
"I'm proud to welcome another great independent feature to New Mexico," said New Mexico Film Office Director Nick Maniatis. "New Mexico's deep base of talent, infrastructure and our strong incentives continue to help us attract independent films to New Mexico."
Filming started in mid-June and employed about 100 New Mexico crew members, 2 New Mexico actors, and nearly 60 New Mexico background extras.
The synopsis for the movie is described as follows:
Lucy (Demi Moore) is the egotistical megalomaniac CEO of Incredible Edibles, America's premier provider of edible cutlery. In her infinite wisdom, Lucy leads her staff including her long-suffering assistants, Freddie and Jess (Jessica Williams), on a corporate team-building caving weekend to New Mexico. When disaster strikes, not even their useless guide, Brandon (Ed Helms), can save them. Trapped underground by a cave-in, this mismatched and disgruntled group must pull together in order to survive. Amidst sexual tension, startling business revelations and casual cannibalism, Freddie and Jess emerge from Lucy's shadow. Hilarious and sometimes shocking, the laughs and gasps mount as these Corporate Animals are unleashed.

HONG KONG • ZhongAn Online Property and Casualty Insurance priced its initial public offering (IPO) at the top of its marketing range, raising US$1.5 billion (S$2.02 billion) in Hong Kong's biggest financial technology listing, IFR reported yesterday, citing people close to the deal.
The insurer priced 199.3 million new shares at HK$59.70 each, the top of a HK$53.70 to HK$59.70 range, added IFR, a Thomson Reuters publication.
ZhongAn was founded by Alibaba executive chairman Jack Ma, Tencent chairman Pony Ma and Ping An Insurance Group chairman Ma Mingzhe.
The insurer did not immediately reply to a Reuters request for comment on the price.
Ant Financial is ZhongAn's biggest shareholder with a 16 per cent stake, according to a prospectus filed with the Hong Kong exchange.
Ping An Insurance Group and Tencent each hold 12 per cent of ZhongAn, the filing showed.
Japan's SoftBank Group agreed to buy a total stake in ZhongAn of just under 5 per cent for about US$550 million as part of the IPO, the deal's prospectus showed.
ZhongAn raised 5.8 billion yuan (S$1.18 billion) from a group of investors, including Morgan Stanley and China International Capital, in a 2015 funding round.
That share sale valued the company at 49.6 billion yuan, ZhongAn said at the time.

Gordon Biersch debuts 'Million Dollar Brew' | Arts & Culture
ATLANTA (March 5, 2013) – Fifth Third Bank Broadway in Atlanta and Gordon Biersch Brewery in Midtown announce the creation of "Million Dollar Brew," a Gordon Biersch beer, in conjunction with the Atlanta debut of MILLION DOLLAR QUARTET at the Fox Theatre from March 12-17!
"Million Dollar Brew" is a Black IPA. With a style similar to the traditional IPA, the Black IPA possesses a high hop bitterness, flavor and aroma and with the addition of black malts, it balances malty flavor that is exaggerated with roasted overtones for bright crisp robust ale. Gordon Biersch Brewerywill offer free tasters of the "Million Dollar Brew" to all ticket holders, and the beer will be available for $3.75 at the Midtown location only.
The national tour of the Broadway musical MILLION DOLLAR QUARTET, inspired by the electrifying true story, will make its Atlanta premiere March 12-17, 2013 as part of the Fifth Third Bank Broadway in Atlanta season. Tickets are on sale now. Ticket prices start at $33 and will be available atFox Theatre box office, by visiting www.FoxAtlTix.com or by calling 1-855-ATL-TIXX. Group orders of 10 or more may be placed by calling 404-881-2000.
The international Tony® Award Winning musical, MILLION DOLLAR QUARTET is set on December 4, 1956, when an auspicious twist of fate brought Johnny Cash, Jerry Lee Lewis, Carl Perkins and Elvis Presley together. Sam Phillips, the "Father of Rock 'n' Roll" who was responsible for launching the careers of each icon, brought the four legendary musicians together at the Sun Records storefront studio in Memphis for the first and only time. The resulting evening became known as one of the greatest rock 'n' roll jam sessions in history.
MILLION DOLLAR QUARTET brings that legendary night to life with an irresistible tale of broken promises, secrets, betrayal and celebrations featuring an eclectic score of rock, gospel, R&B and country hits including; "Blue Suede Shoes," "Fever," "Sixteen Tons," "Who Do You Love?," "Great Balls of Fire," "Matchbox," "Folsom Prison Blues," "Whole Lotta Shakin' Goin' On," "Hound Dog," and more.
When the Broadway production opened in April 2010, critics and audiences leapt to their feet in unanimous praise. The New York Times called the show, "a buoyant new musical that whips the crowd into a frenzy," New York Magazine labeled it, "a dazzling raucous spectacle that sounds like a million bucks," and NY1 called it, "90 minutes of platinum grade entertainment." The musical continued its successful New York engagement at New World Stages through June 2012.
The Chicago production of MILLION DOLLAR QUARTET opened in 2008 and is still playing to packed houses at the Apollo Theatre, and a Las Vegas production began performances at Harrah's Showroom in Las Vegas last month. The West End production played at the Noël Coward Theatre in London in 2011.
MILLION DOLLAR QUARTET won a Tony Award® for Best Performance by a Featured Actor in a Musical and received a Tony Award® nomination for Best Musical and Best Book of a Musical (Colin Escott & Floyd Mutrux). The show received an Outer Critics Circle Award for Outstanding Featured Actor in a Musical, a Drama Desk nomination for Outstanding Musical Revue and three Drama League nominations including Distinguished Production of a Musical and Distinguished Performance.
MILLION DOLLAR QUARTET will play March 12-17 at the Fox Theatre. Performances are Tuesday through Saturday at 8 p.m. and Sunday at 6:30 p.m. with matinees Saturday at 2 p.m. and Sunday at 1 p.m.

Where to look for accommodation in Linköping?
As my time as a student is coming to an end I had to look a new place to live. So now I want to share some useful places where you can look for accommodation in Linköping.
Notice Board page of LiU
Here many students post available rooms in shared apartments or even renting out entire apartments.
If you filter for accommodation (bostad) in Linköping, you can find many options from single rooms to different sizes of houses and apartments.
Groups on Facebook
There are many groups for accommodation to international students and housing in Linköping in general.
Remember to always be aware of scams, never pay before you visit the place and know the person who is renting out. The 'contracts' through this kind of rent is the type of 'second hand renting', that means that someone else owns the place or got a first-hand renting contract and is renting out to others.

Give Yourself A Break
Contributed by Richard Tow on Sep 22, 2005 (message contributor)
Summary: With statistics concerning sociological changes in America this sermon discusses the stress Christians are experiencing. Movie clip from "Cheaper by the Dozen" provides an illustration.
Give Yourself a Break
Eccl. 4:6-12[1]
I want to begin this morning with a clip from the movie, Cheaper by the Dozen.[2]
In this movie Coach Tom (played by Steve Martin) and his wife Kate (Bonnie Hart) have twelve kids. They are doing fine until opportunity knocks—an opportunity for Tom to pursue his dream of coaching a successful Top Ten football team in another town. In addition to the stress this change puts on the family, his wife, Kate, gets a chance to pursue her career as the author of a best selling book.
In this scene you will see the strain that comes on this family as they try "to have it all."
Ch 21 (01:12:41) to end of Ch 22 (o1:17:52).
Earlier in this movie when the opportunity for promotion comes to Tom he proclaims to Kate with great excitement, "We're gonna have it all!" Cheaper by the Dozen identifies a myth that plagues both Christians and non-Christians alike in this country. Can we really have it all? Perhaps the answer to that question depends upon what you mean by "it all." Can I have everything God has to offer me and everything the world has to offer me? Absolutely not! The Bible makes that abundantly clear. James 4:4 "You adulterous people, don't you know that friendship with the world is hatred toward God? Anyone who chooses to be a friend of the world becomes an enemy of God."
There are a lot of things offered in life that are mutually exclusive. I can not be monogamous and a polygamist at the same time. I can not be in Russia and in America at the same time. I can not be a Buddhist and a Christian at the same time. We are finite beings with limited time, limited gifts, limited money, limited energy. When we choose to say yes to one thing, whether we intend to or not, we are by necessity saying no to other things.
It is very flattering and temporarily motivating to be told that you can have it all. But there is a subtle trap in that statement if you accept it the way the world means it to be interpreted. Can you have it all? You can if what you mean is that you can have everything your loving Creator and heavenly Father has designed for you to have. You can have everything He has prepared for you if you will only hear Him and obey His voice.[3] Hear the world and its myths and you will find yourself utterly frustrated. Hear God and pursue the course He has for you and the end result will be fulfilling and rewarding.
Are you a busy person? In a CNN pole 59% of all Americans answered by saying they wish they could slow down and cope better with the busyness of life.[4] Busyness is at epidemic proportions in America. And Christians seem to suffer from it just as much as non Christians. Most of us want to get our lives under control and enjoy the journey more than we are. But how do we do that? I want us to take a few minutes this morning and look at this issue of busyness in our lives. First, we will address the question as to what is happening to us in this. How is it affecting us spirit, soul, and body? Second, we will consider why this is happening. We keep inventing time saving devices. But in the end we seem to have less and less time. Finally, how can we deal with this in our daily lives?
I. What's Happening to us as a result of all this busyness and stress?
Friday night I found myself at the emergency room at St. John's Hospital looking at Jeanie and hearing her ask, "What is God trying to say to us in all this?" In addition to dealing with acid reflux, hiatal hernia, and sleep apnea we were also trying to get my cholesterol and blood pressure under control. I was having an allergic reaction to the blood pressure pills and had to have medication to counteract the medication. Something's not right somewhere when all that is going on. We are in a society that stimulates itself with caffeine during the day so that everything gets done; then sedates itself at night trying to unwind enough to sleep. People are paying a high price physically for living under an unreasonable amount of stress.
In his book, Margin: Restoring Emotional, Physical, Financial, and Time Reserves to Overloaded Live, Dr. Richard Swenson lists 13 physical symptoms of excess stress. I was amazed to find over half of them going on in my own life. Here are the thirteen:
Stimulation of the cardiovascular system—rapid pulse, palpitations, increased blood pressure, chest pain, arrhythmias.

We take a look at what you need to consider in terms of web design for your small business whether you outsource or go it alone…
The aesthetics of your site are the first thing a customer or client will see, so establishing an eye-catching and unique web design is going to be critical to keeping a user on your site. What's more, a professional-looking and functioning website will help extend your business' brand online.
When it comes to setting up a website, it is generally recommended to rope in the help of a professional web designer, but if budget is really stretched and you have the relevant knowledge, then it is possible to develop your own site. A good start for a home-grown website is an online web builder that provides you with the relevant software that can make the whole process a lot more streamlined than going it alone. Remember: if you're going to outsource your web design to an expert, make sure you find someone reputable; don't just rely on what their website says, but ask around and see if there's someone that a friend could recommend.
Brand Identity
Your site needs to reflect your brand identity; consistency across all aspects of your online presence and marketing is critical for professionalism. Your logo is likely to be your starting-position for such an identity, so think carefully about what you want your logo to signify, for it will act as a visual representation of your business values and corporate image. Your logo will be plastered all over your business cards, letterheads, website and may even cross over to uniforms or your product – if it's necessary of course – so it's crucial that you get it right at the beginning so you can carve yourself a cohesive brand identity.
For logo design, you may wish to draft in the help of a graphic designer, who can take your brief into consideration and accordingly create logos to reflect your business needs. Although there is a cost attached to this, ensuring your logo looks professional can make a significant difference to how potential customers perceive your company. Furthermore, choosing the right typography for your logo is key: without a clear font that reflects your business and its services or products, your branding may lack the desired effect. From your logo, a colour scheme can then be extended which will form the basis of any further design work to encourage consistency and familiarity. If budgets are tight – which is likely in such a gloomy climate – then consider creating your own logo and going from there.
Functionality of site
The ins and outs of how your site functions may not be the most thrilling aspect of web design, but the way your site is laid out is central to online success. Your customers need to be able to access your site quickly and navigate around your site with ease, so clear menus and sub-menus are essential – particularly the 'About Us' and 'Contact Us' tabs. Hayley Clare, Director, CWD Web design, says: "Once your prospective buyer is at your site, can they find what they want easily? Correct navigation is the difference between success and failure of a sale. Trying to dazzle customers with flash and clever stuff can get in the way of the final sale. They're quite often there for a reason so get them to their destination quickly."
A search bar is imperative too, so that your customers can find what they want, and when they want it. Don't forget a home button as well so that a user can return to the homepage at any time. Additionally, don't underestimate the value of creating links between different pages – only when appropriate, of course – as it will help users navigate to contextually relevant information or products.
Web content
Producing captivating content for your website is vital for keeping it up-to-date – and more importantly, your customers interested. Implement a consistent writing-style across all aspects of your site, as well as your marketing material; again, it's all about coherency. The layout of pages should also remain the same, with simple things like the bolding of titles or the font colour of hyperlinks, for example – attention to detail can go a long way.
Focus on the copy itself: proof-reading for spelling errors is another area that simply cannot be overlooked. Sloppy spelling will automatically make your customer assume that your service or products aren't up to scratch, and presumably that is a connection you do not want to make.
Incorporating SEO or search engine optimisation into your web content is all about making the most of search engines such as Google. By implementing SEO you can ensure that your site is more "searchable" and is thus more likely to appear at the top of someone's search when they type in keywords related to your website. SEO can span from a fairly basic level to more in-depth methods, but the standard procedures include:
- Keyword research
- Link building
- Meta tags and meta description.
It can be quite a tricky practice to learn – especially with the myriad commitments that starting up a business demands – so it is likely to be worth contacting a few SEO agencies to see what offers are available to suit your business needs.
Attracting web traffic
"How are you going to get visitors to your website? Don't just assume that because you have a website, millions of people will see it right away. The nicest website is useless if no one can see it. You'll need a strategy to get that website up the search engines and in front of your potential customers. Getting advice on SEO (Search Engine Optimisation) can be very valuable. There's lots you can do yourself and you can also speak to professionals who can help you." (Hayley Clare, Director, CWD Web design)

SmartWool Liner Gloves are not designed for cyclists in particular but can be used on spring rides. They are made of superfine merino wool which can be worn by itself or under a pair of glove shells. SmartWool next to your skin is soft and comfortable keeping hands warm. The SmartWool Liner gloves will not itch or shrink either.
This flat-knit glove combines the natural wicking and thermal qualities of wool for maximum comfort, moisture control and temperature regulation. The breathable SmartWool fibers are naturally odor free as well.
They are made from Merino wool from New Zealand's Alps which is a natural, renewable resource that provides thermo-neutral insulation for varying temperatures and activities.
SmartWool Liner Gloves Features

- Touch screen feature weaved right into index finger and thumb
- Naturally odor-free
- Itchless
- Breathable SmartWool fibers
- Machine washable in cold water; reshape and dry flat

SmartWool Liner Gloves Reviews
There were many mixed reviews from users of SmartWool liner gloves. Many stated they are wonderful and they never leave home without them. Used by people from about 40 degrees down to the mid-teens many people mentioned they never put another glove on top of them while others found them to be very cold.
A few people had issues when dealing with the Velcro as do they tend to stick easily although that is not a big deal.
Many people agreed that they do feel lightweight and are very comfortable. One person bought them originally to use as a liner under their wind proof biking glove and found that together the two gloves work great.
If you are considering something lightweight to use by itself or with your cycling gloves you may want to consider the SmartWool Liner Gloves.

text: I am new, but I really want to learn how to design a website for a non-profit organization. I already own the website adress and have server space. So what is the best software to do this with? Someone told me MS FrontPage is good, but is it possible to learn on your own or is that getting in over my head? I do have a friend that designs websites for a living, but first of all she is very busy and secondly, she told me she taught herself and said it was easy. What how-to book do you recommend? FrontPage for Dummies? What about Video Professor? Thanks in advance for any advice. After looking around, I learned — Web designing is not a difficult task, but to begin with you definitely require someone to show you the 1st step. The best software you can use is dreamweaver, its a staright forward one when you have the basic idea. Ask you are friend to give oyu an hour or go through the tutorials found online or along with all these softwares. All you need is the besic idea, after that its gonna be your self interest, how well you want to learn, keep working on it and youll know more about it-thats self experience talking. Best of luck.

Deflating the bubble of commodity price speculation this is, indeed (see chart). After energy prices got hammered for another -9.3% move in December, the US Producer Price Index continued its decline, albeit at a lesser rate. This month's PPI was -1.9% versus last month's -2.2%. That's deflating, indeed, but at a lesser rate…
The one thing that gets us out of an asset price deflation is re-flation. FDR knew this (so he re-flated gold), and Paul Volcker knows this today. Some people think re-flation = inflation. It doesn't have to. It's all about what happens next.
If you show me a price tomorrow that's higher than today's – that's re-flation. In order to build the confidence of the conservative American capitalist, everything needs to re-flate from an acceptably conservative price. Until we get this Crisis in Credibility to morph into the expectation of re-flating prices (like we did in late November, post Obama's election), this market will continue to trade below immediate term support.

Cancer is a leading cause of death, especially breast cancer, which is a serious condition affecting women everywhere. Although breast cancer is the leading cause of death for Thai women, it is curable in cases where the disease can be identified and treated in its early stages.
Breast cancer patients do not usually recognize any symptoms at the beginning, but they may feel a lump on the breast or under arms that may or may not be painful. Many women neglect such signs, believing them to be completely normal. This enables the cancer to reach an advanced stage before any treatment is sought, thereby affecting the chances of success for any subsequent treatment.
All women are at risk of developing breast cancer, but a number of factors, such as age, genetics and lifestyle choices, may increase the chances. There is no sure way to prevent breast cancer but there are things you can do that might lower the risks. Monthly self-checks of your body and breasts and annual breast check-up at the hospital are recommended so that if any warning signs are identified, you may seek medical attention for diagnosis and treatment from the outset.

This week we… went for a wilderness walk
23rd Nov 2018
We went for a lovely autumn walk this week. We listened for snakes in the woodpile house and used sticks to fish on the little bridge. We spotted horses and had a run around on the football field. We also dropped lots of helicopters (Sycamore seeds) into the river.

Last week, I had the pleasure of teaching several workshops to high school students about their social media presence. Who wants to hear an adult dictate to them how they should express themselves? This is America! The land of freedom of speech! I agree wholeheartedly that anyone should be able to express themselves how they feel, but let's admit, we base our interactions with people on our impression of them before even before the first conversation.

Now it's not lost on me that this day can either bring you happiness or sadness! Trust me, I know both sides of this coin all too well.

Filled with warm expanses of wood and an eclectic collection of brass antiques, Singh Sahib is an intimate, chandelier-lit affair that celebrates authentic Punjabi cuisine on the premises of the Hilton-managed Hotel Eros. Here, ambience and food are given equal precedence – traditional music sets the mood as staff outfitted in Punjabi shirt-cut kurtas dole out portions of Sufiyana Paneer and shiny red tumblers brimming with matha, a creamy, gently spiced drink made with tempered buttermilk. Overlooking a lush garden, it's the perfect setting for special occasions, whether they involve ten or two.
Diners finding themselves at The Spice Route should brace themselves for a real feast for both the eyes and palate. The restaurant's namesake is artfully evoked in the form of nine dining areas thoughtfully sectioned according to feng shui principles, as well as sensuous murals created by traditional temple painters. The ornate interiors act as an ideal complement to the flavour-laden Southeast Asian dishes by head chef Veena Arora, whose gastronomic creations take one on a journey spanning from Kerala's Malabar Coast all the way through to the colourful reaches of Sri Lanka, Malaysia, Indonesia, Thailand and Vietnam.
Set in the lobby of the exquisite Taj Hotel, Varq is a fine-dining experience premised on the reinvention of traditional Indian cuisine. Named after the edible gold and silver foil trim that has long been a visual staple of traditional sweets, biryanis and curries, the restaurant's signature offerings emerge as delectable reinterpretations of familiar local dishes – ganderi kebab comes with a shot glass filled with aam chur or dried mango powder, while the mustard prawns boast a bold edamame bean garnish

En español | If you have Medicare, you should not have to pay for a preventive colonoscopy. How often you can have the procedure covered depends on your health circumstances.
If you are at high risk for colorectal cancer, Medicare will cover the full cost of a colonoscopy once every two years. If you are not at high risk, it will pay for the screening once every 10 years, or four years after you have undergone a flexible sigmoidoscopy, a similar procedure that does not probe the entire colon.
Original Medicare pays the full cost of a colonoscopy if a medical provider who accepts Medicare rates does the procedure.
However, if a polyp is found and removed during the colonoscopy, the procedure is considered diagnostic rather than preventive and you likely will owe 20 percent of the Medicare-approved fee. Medicare Advantage plans cover the test under similar terms if a doctor in the plan's network handles it.
The Medicare Part B deductible does not apply to colonoscopies. Medicare will pay its share whether or not you've met your deductible for the year.
If your doctor recommends you have a colonoscopy more often than Medicare normally covers, you may have to pay some or all of the cost. Ask your doctor why he or she is recommending the test and whether Medicare will pay for it.
Medicare pays for more frequent colonoscopies for people at high risk of developing colorectal cancer.
According to the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services, that means someone meets one or more of these criteria.
Editor's note: This article was originally published on July 17, 2015. It has been updated with the latest information regarding Medicare coverage in 2020.

It's pretty common that you will find it difficult to choose the proper shipping method to dropship from China. In this passage I will introduce epacket, which is widely used and other alternative special lines, whcih are alternative methods.
A common way chosen by most dropshippers is epacket(China EMS).
When China EMS receive a shipping order from your supplier, they will send a staff to your supplier and get your package on the same day. On the second day your package will go to China EMS international shipping center and go through security check. On the third day your packages will go custom clearence and aboard. Usually your customers will receive thier packages in 7-10 days, while the whole process takes around 15-20 days after you place your order, which seems a little bit long. The advantage of epacket is that you can ship bulky cargo (those products that weigh a little but takes a lot of space) and you have many destination country to choose from.
However in some cases you can't choose epacket, for example if the package is over 2 kgs, epacket is not available. In this case you have to choose special lines. A special line means this shipping method goest to ONE country only, like USPS. Since a special line only goes to ONE country, the processing time will be much less. Usually the processing time takes about 12 days or fewer. The problem is that special line can't ship bulky cargo for you(while epacket can do this for you).
So, in short, epacket can help you ship to many countries but takes more time and there is a weight limit(2kg). A special line goes to ONE country only and can't ship bulky cargo for you but takes less time.
