Christmas greeting cards give you the possibility to find an ideal Christmas message for each person you love. Christmas brings a new hope for each one of us. For me, Christmas is not a religious festival. Christmas is an opportunity to surround yourself with family and friends, and it is also the ideal time of year to create new friends. Christmas is a religious occasion for Christians, but unfortunately, the young generation is not as religious as elders to be aware of the real events and importance associated with the celebration of Christmas. Christmas is celebrated in many nations of the world. So, if you want to send your friends a short Christmas greeting, the SMS is a superior alternative.
It will be achieved with the cards in a matter of a couple of hours. So, you should not ask yourself what things to write on a Christmas card. You can make your own Christmas cards alone, but why not organize a day of Christmas craft activities with a couple of friends and get together to help each other, share ideas and enjoy great fun? It is also possible to produce your own fun Christmas cards thinking about the taste of your recipients.
Choose between any of the formal or fun from here, and you can easily use them in the cards you will send to your business partners, and they will simply adore the gesture. Many greeting cards also often use several quotes and sayings instead of routine messages. The following steps will explain how you can make some really wonderful cards made by hand immediately and in large quantities.
Why do not you see if you can create some intriguing cards that you can sell at Craft Shows? The ideal card is one that allows the receiver of the card to really feel your wishes. Building a French flag card is a meaningful way to say Viva la France!
Having friends and family help can be an additional way to improve your collection. At this time you should write something more. Doing a nativity nursery together will help us remind us of the real reason behind the holidays. Be aware of what to write on a Christmas card may be the second most important part, after the appearance of the card. Christmas sayings can be an ideal and creative gift option for you. In general, they are the feelings that you explore and transmit from the bottom of your heart. Many times, as long as there is nothing that inspires us, there are many famous sayings and quotes that may be convenient.
One of the best ideas is to bring a theme. Also, it is not a fantastic idea to send your funny cards to your clientele or seniors. Although there are many ideas for designing handmade Christmas cards, make a decision about how you would like your card to be.
You will discover a short but rich business group, as well as two or three funny Christmas card messages. It is a fact that you should continue to formalize the Christmas greeting sayings of your company, but that does not mean that at some point you can not tickle your client with some funny comments. You can create the following element using some basic things in your residence. There are a number of online candy stores from where you can buy your lot. The supplies needed to create your own watercolor cards are very minimal. Making Christmas crafts is an excellent tradition to start with the family. There is a great amount of crafts that it is possible to make for Christmas decoration and even with the aim of giving and sending wishes.

Since 1963 Edwards Music firm has been musicians selling to musicians, future musicians, parents of musicians, music administrators, and all with a desire to make music. For the following few years, the Disney people perfected their craft in story telling, animation, and music. The A&R department of a report company is liable for finding new expertise and overseeing the recording process. A license firm proactively goes out and pitches your songs specifically.
Regardless of her coaches urging to take our time selecting ground music selections, my daughter turned within the first three songs she listened to for consideration by the choreography coach. The British label Warp is kind of dynamic and has released music by the legendary artists Aphex Twin, Boards of Canada, Autechre and Plaid.
Robert Johnson had recorded only thirty songs during his quick life as he was prevented from attaining true fame while alive by being poisoned by a jealous husband. The primary question in the process as to how to begin a report company, needs to make a solid business plan.
With plans to proceed performing and recording, the band was gutted in January 2011 when drummer Steve Prestwich passed away immediately on account of issues from a brain tumour. For physical media (similar to CDs ), the corporate also pays to fabricate and distribute the bodily recordings.
So in case your favorite tune is titled something like "Sunday Morning" or "My Woman," then you will have to weed by means of numerous songs by other writers, other publishers, and other recording artists, to find the proper music by the precise particular person(s).

Edited to add: Since posting this in 2012 I've come to have doubts about the accuracy of the information I was given.
Chinnor Crescent has probably barely changed since it was the home of Harold Whitlock, winner of a gold medal in the 50 kilometre walk at the Berlin Olympics in 1936. In a recent article in the Ealing Gazette a resident reminisced about the modest man who could be seen training in this and neighbouring streets. He must have been hard to miss as he practised the strange waddling gait of the race walker. He maintained his fitness throughout his life, taking part in the Helsinki Olympics in 1952 and competing until he was in his seventies. He eventually became a race coach and judge, published "Race Walking" in 1957 and was awarded the MBE in 1966 for services to athletics. Mr Whitlock was employed as a mechanic at Brooklands at the time of his triumph in Berlin, tuning race cars at record attempts, and later at a local garage near Sudbury Hill station. Click here to see the Pathe News report on his medal winning effort in 1936.

It is fascinating how male porn stars maintain an erection for long durations when having sex. In fact, many people are intrigued by just how powerful these men are when it comes to providing sensual pleasure. Some men have said that even las vegas hottest pornstars have incredible power in bed. If you are wondering what gives porn stars this unique ability, here are some of the secrets shared by most of them.
Fitness and Dieting
According to most male porn stars, keeping fit is one of the secrets to maintaining an erection for long duration. These men work out every day to ensure greater endurance whenever they get down on women. Some of them follow the Paleo Diet. This emphasizes on the foods of the old times.
These are foods that were mainly acquired through hunting and gathering. They include regional herbs, seeds, meats, fish, nuts and greens. The Paleo Diet does not include the processed foods that are found in most stores today. Additionally, these men stay hydrated throughout the day and they always strive to have better sleep.
Vitality Medications
Vitality pills, supplements, and injections are a common phenomenon among male porn star escorts. Quite a number of male porn stars have confessed to using Viagra, Cialis and other medications to maintain erections for long durations. Although vitality pills can sometimes make their penises appear flushed, they provide the desired energy to maintain longer erections.
Other actors have implanted penis pumps that enable them to easily control how long their penises stay erect while on set. When used according to the recommended conditions and dosage, pills like Viagra and Cialis provide a great way to maintain longer erections. However, over dependence on these pills can cause unpleasant effects. These may include nausea, chest pains, hearing and vision problems as well as irregular heart rates.
Some male porn stars say that masturbation helps them to stay erect for longer when having sex. Through masturbation, a man can learn to control when to get hard and how long the penis stays erect. In most occasions, these actors masturbate before filming starts. However, this requires experience to pull off.
Better Focus
There are male porn stars that claim maintaining erection is all about where the man's focus is. To them, sex is great when a person is passionate about it. They begin fantasizing about the experience early enough and create a burning desire for it. This leads to longer erections and greater performance.
There are other ways through which male porn stars maintain erections for long. However, maintaining erections mostly depends on a man's state of health and emotions during intimacy.

"The daily number of migrants being turned back has risen from 60 in December to 200 since the start of the year," David Furtner, police spokesman in Upper Austria state, told AFP.
He said those being sent back were migrants – mostly Afghans as well as Moroccans and Algerians – who did not want to apply for asylum in Germany but in other countries, notably Scandinavia.
Austria is a major transit country for the hundreds of thousands of migrants and refugees seeking to enter the European Union, mostly via Upper Austria state at a rate currently of 1,000-2,000 per day.
Last week, Sweden, a favoured destination for many of the migrants, sought to stem the flow by imposing controls on travellers from Denmark.
Denmark in turn introduced spot checks on arrivals from Germany.
Austria meanwhile has moved to tighten controls on its border with Slovenia, with Carinthia, one of two Austrian states bordering Slovenia, turning back 1,652 since January 1, according to police.
Austrian Chancellor Werner Faymann said Monday that Vienna was looking into the legality of turning away "economic migrants" – as opposed to bona fide refugees – at its borders.
"What is certain is that soon we are going to become more active at our borders," Faymann said in an interview with the Kronen-Zeitung daily to be published on Tuesday.
Police spokesman Furtner said that almost all those turned back by Germany simply try again to enter the country, with most succeeding via other routes, Furtner said.

Black Friday is this week and CyberMonday is just a week away. Are you ready? What you might find helpful is there are many apps out there. You can get an app for most of your regular stores, such as Kohl's, Macy's, Best Buy, Home Depot, and many others. You can find coupons, deals, latest flyers, and a host of other helpful information. Most of them ask for your location so they can show you the deals at the store nearest you, so make sure to have the location services turned on.
Other apps that may be helpful whether you shop brick and mortar stores or online:
RedLaser. This is by eBay. This app shows trending deals. When you click on a product you will get more information but also a list of locations to buy it with their prices. You can look online, locally or find related products. When I clicked on "Deals" it came up with a list of stores and if I clicked on one, it showed deals for that store. Funny thing is, it showed the coupons/deals from RetailMeNot!
RetailMeNot. This app is put out by the RetailMeNot.com website. It has coupons for many categories. It will show in-store and online coupons. You can make an account and save favorites to find them easier. It has many current deals. Would you buy a watch at Amazon.com for $2.99 with $1.99 shipping (retail price $81)?
ShopKick. As I entered this app, it tells me I can "get points just for walking into stores," I can "redeem points for rewards," and I can "pick a reward." A point is a "kick." You can get points from stores that offer "kicks" – your bluetooth must be turned on and then open the app at the store entrance. You can filter the feed within the app to show particular stores. There are items for each store that you can find and scan to earn kicks. Kind of reminds me of a scavenger hunt.

Act Three: The UNCSA Years
Upon turning sixty in 2005, Mr. Mauceri announced that he would be leaving the Hollywood Bowl Orchestra and the Pittsburgh Opera and looked for ways to bring his varied experiences together for what he called, "Act Three." In May of 2006, the Board of Governors of the University of North Carolina and its President, Erskine Bowles, unanimously elected him chancellor of the North Carolina School of the Arts (now known as the University of North Carolina School of the Arts or UNCSA) in Winston Salem. Established by the General Assembly of North Carolina in 1963, UNCSA is part of the UNC system and is America's first public arts university of conservatories, with a high school component. The campus represents most of the elements of Mr. Mauceri's life and work, with its schools of music, dance, design & production, drama, and filmmaking as well as his commitment to research and teaching.
Serving for seven years, below you will find Mr. Mauceri's major achievements as chancellor.
Major Achievements of John F. Mauceri, UNCSA Chancellor 2006-2013
Lobbied and secured to have "University" added to the school's name to distinguish it from the growing number of arts magnet high schools, and to affirm the school's relationship with the UNC system. This relationship, which existed since 1972 but was generally unrecognized by the public, secured UNCSA's unique Internet URL as UNCSA.edu. The name change was supported by the BOT, BOG, NC State Legislature and signed by the Governor.
Shepherded, along with the provost and faculty, UNCSA from a trimester institution to a two-semester school congruent with the other UNC campuses and most American Colleges and Universities.
Conceived and implemented (with full support from the Kenan Institute for the Arts and the UNCSA provost) the school's first full summer school, consisting of summer intensives, professional development courses, and academic offerings, made possible by the two-semester calendar.
Created a telethon to create a database of all living alumni. Significantly increased alumni giving and awareness through appointment of seven alumni to UNCSA's Board of Trustees to represent each of the arts disciplines, academics, and the high school, and created and actively engaged with alumni hubs in New York, Los Angeles, Washington D.C. and Chicago. Appointed an alumnus (dance/music), as Director of Alumni Giving, and drama alumnus Mark Hough, Chief Advancement Officer - the first alumnus to serve in an executive leadership position at the school.
Created the position of Executive Producer which has resulted in the transformation of income-negative and income-neutral events into major revenue streams for scholarships - including West Side Story (which had been planned in 2005 but had no budgetary support), and Oklahoma!. Each of these productions brought in over $300,000.00 for scholarships and broke all box office records. The annual production of The Nutcracker, which, for over 40 years, was a co-production with the Winston-Salem Symphony, was taken over by UNCSA in a creative response to the economic downturn, and currently brings in an additional $300,000.00 a year for scholarships. The EP office increased attendance to UNCSA productions by 25% in one year alone.
Connected UNCSA to creative artists who are at the top of their professions, including David Rambo (producer and writer CSI and Revolution), Julie Kent (prima ballerina ABT), Danny Elfman and Alan Menken (composers), J.T. Rogers (playwright), Kristin Chenoweth (Tony Award winner), and Thomas Schumacher (President of Disney Theatrical Group) - all awarded UNCSA honorary doctorates - as well as Dick Cook (Chairman of Disney Studios), Joe Volpe (former General Manager, Metropolitan Opera), Don Hahn (film producer), Adam Guettel (opera/music theater composer), Theodore Chapin (President and Executive Director, Rodgers & Hammerstein) and Barlett Sher (opera/stage director).
UNCSA's name and reputation were brought to the attention of the world in the chancellor's program notes, articles, speeches and appearances. Some of these include China, Denmark, Australia, Germany, Austria, Great Britain, and Brazil. Media outlets like NPR, PBS, BBC, WQXR, as well as the New York Times, the Los Angeles Times, The Huffington Post and important institutions, such as the Smithsonian Institution, Yale University, Harvard University, New York University, the Vienna Academy, Lincoln Center Chamber Music Series Lectures, the Museum of Modern Art (NYC), and the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences.
Achieved a positive outcome, with support from UNCSA's faculty and provost, to implement faculty rank for the first time in the institution's history.
UNCSA achieved a student retention rate second only to UNC-Chapel Hill in the UNC System.
UNCSA maintained the best record for clean audits in the University of North Carolina System under UNCSA COO George Burnette, appointed by Mauceri.
Lobbied and secured $48 million in capital funds for four new buildings, including a new library and a new film production design building, all currently under construction.
Charged by President Bowles to restructure the school's Advancement Office, the chancellor and his Chief Operating Officer, began by making the accounting systems of the school and its Foundation congruent. After more than a year of work, it was discovered that the school owed the Foundation approximately $500,000.00. This, added increased pressure to the running of the school, but this debt has been paid off and UNCSA is no longer in debt to the Foundation. The creation of an All-School Fund encouraged unrestricted giving and systems were put in place to allow for on-line giving for the first time in the school's history.
Increased the UNCSA endowment by $14 million (which is a 60% increase), including five new one million dollar endowed professorships, in five disciplines.
Successfully lobbied North Carolina legislature, during both Democratic and Republican majorities, to grant special UNCSA recurring appropriations amounting to many millions of dollars, as well as one-time monies that have literally preserved the school's ability to fulfill its mandated function during a period of unprecedented budgetary cuts.
Successfully lobbied the university Board of Governors, to allow tuition and fee adjustments, achieving recurring funding of over $1 million per annum.
Secured the largest one-time private gift in the history of the UNC School of the Arts - $6 million from the William R. Kenan, Jr. Charitable Trust to endow The William R. Kenan, Jr. Excellence Scholarship Awards.
Raised private funds for a Steinway grand piano for the School of Film scoring stage, secured a half million dollars to complete this crucial facility and made funds available for purchase of essential new instruments (celesta, contrabassoon, English Horn, Steinway baby grand piano) for the School of Music. The scoring stage, which had previously been used for storage, is currently one of the most used spaces on campus, supporting the Schools of Filmmaking, Music and Dance and making it possible for UNCSA to produce first class instrumental recordings and sound tracks. Donated his own Baldwin piano on the occasion of his 65th birthday in 2011 as an unlocked and always accessible instrument for any student attending the school.
Appointed new deans who are renowned in their disciplines, including prima ballerina Susan Jaffe, now Dean of the School of Dance, and New York Director/Producer, Carl Forsman, now Dean of the School of Drama, as well as former Dance Dean Ethan Stiefel, and former Film Dean Jordan Kerner. Kerner led the movement to refresh North Carolina's film industry that has brought in $300 million to the state this year and is estimated at $500 million for next year. Stiefel brought a world class and current professionalism that inspired profound changes in the entire university along with a major shift in the reputation of the School of Dance.
Upon commencing his tenure as chancellor in 2006, 70% of executive staff positions were vacant or interim appointments and were filled.
Because it was clear that (U)NCSA had no alumni in the Board of Governors, and many of its members had never been on campus, the chancellor encouraged the January, 2008 Board of Governors meetings to take place while the campus was in full academic and artistic swing. The chancellor, in conjunction with GA's secretary and chief of staff and (U)NCSA's COO Burnette, produced a flawless meeting environment while also presenting the students' achievements as the BOG entered their various committee meeting rooms. Marimba ensembles, jugglers, dancers, and works of visual artists, were on constant display. Lunch took place in the paint room, accompanied by the jazz ensemble and the high school drama students, surrounded by artwork. A cocktail party in the chancellor's residence included a student string quartet, the Arabian Dance from The Nutcracker, a scene from August Wilson's Gem of the Ocean, a short film and two musical numbers from West Side Story. The next morning, at the conclusion of the BOG's public meeting, a brass and percussion ensemble in the balcony of Catawba Theater performed Fanfare for the Board of Governors by film composition student Chris Heckman. As of this report, there are members of the BOG and GA who still talk of this transformative experience in telling our story to those who hold the greatest power and responsibility in supporting UNCSA.
UNCSA was listed for the first time in Kiplinger's 100 Best Values in Public Education, and subsequently rose from 61st to 31st, based on academic achievement.
UNCSA was listed for the first time among The Hollywood Reporter's top 25 schools in film and drama.
UNCSA's School of Drama was selected by The Hollywood reporter as #7 in the world, and #4 in the world for college programs.
Secured a five- year commitment of $750,000 to televise UNCSA productions on UNC-TV to bring the school's talented students to statewide audiences and beyond. These productions include The Nutcracker, Oklahoma!, Much Ado About Nothing, and the as-yet-to-be released Dance Fantasies, which includes Act Two of Swan Lake, Larry Keigwin's Kingdom, and the school's first all-school student ballet film, Molly Under the Moon. The recent restoration of the 1913 Debussy-Nijinsky-Bakst ballet, Jeux, has been filmed for future broadcast and dissemination.
Led the campaign to complete the $5 million needed to match the A. J. Fletcher Foundation grant to create a ten million dollar endowment to establish the A.J. Fletcher Opera Institute at the School of the Arts.
Partnered with and secured the private funding ($500,000.00) for an exclusive cooperative agreement as the official affiliate school of American Ballet Theatre's Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis School.
During a period of transition in which the position of Chief Advancement Officer was vacant and no new hires were permitted within the university system, the chancellor reorganized the leadership for the Advancement Department resulting in an "overall improvement" award from CASE (Council for Advancement and Support of Education) covering years 4 through 6 of his tenure at UNCSA.
Conceived and implemented the Music Academy of the American South (MAAS) with the provost and the dean of music, under the artistic direction of Music alumnus Justin Poindexter, and with the support of the Thomas S. Kenan Institute for the Arts and Flow Automotive. The sold out inaugural weekend in June, 2012, took place on the UNCSA campus and in Old Salem. Its second iteration took place in June, 2013.
Chancellor Mauceri served as music director of UNCSA's 50th Anniversary production of West Side Story; a restoration of the original 1943 production of Rodgers and Hammerstein's Oklahoma!; the world concert premiere of Dmitri Shostakovich's Hamlet, performed with alumni and faculty with the North Carolina Symphony as well as the Aspen Festival; the American premiere of Erich Wolfgang Korngold's complete score to Much Ado About Nothing (fully staged), and led performances of the UNCSA Symphony Orchestra on campus, as well as the Grove Park Inn (Asheville) and for the opening of the new wing of the North Carolina Museum of Art (Raleigh). UNCSA students also performed at the Governor's mansion, in the NC State legislature, and at President Ross' inauguration. In April of 2013, he led the students of the Schools of Music, Dance and Design & Production, in two performances at UNC Chapel Hill as part of an international, yearlong festival celebrating the one hundredth anniversary of the premiere of Stravinsky's Rite of Spring. UNCSA was the only university to take part in the festival that included many of the world's greatest performers and dance companies, such as Yo Yo Ma, the Cleveland Orchestra, the Mariinsky Orchestra, the Joffrey Ballet and the Martha Graham Dance Company.
Secured funds to invite UNCSA students to shadow him and experience and learn from his professional engagements at: the Hollywood Bowl (ballet, music, film), the Vienna Konzerthaus (string quartet who played in the Vienna orchestra, two drama students who sang at the American Embassy, and two film students), the Grammys in Los Angeles (two students who were guests in the orchestra), the Ravinia Festival (West Side Story, full production), the Aspen Festival (drama alums and faculty), Walt Disney Concert Hall (three composers), the Kennedy Center (composer and film composer), the Gewandhaus Orchestra in Leipzig, Germany (one composer and three alumni), Danish National Symphony Orchestra in Copenhagen (2 film composer graduate students, one conducting graduate student, one faculty member), the opera house in Bilbao, Spain (one composer and one alumnus) and the opening concert of a new professional orchestra in Los Angeles (3 dancers, 7 musicians and one dean.
During the darkest days of budget cuts, the chancellor cut his administrative support and functioned for years with a part-time administrative assistant, counting on the support from Director of External Affairs, Jim DeCristo and Mrs. Mauceri, to take up the slack. The school, whose "story was not being told," as President Bowles pointed out, had a single person in charge of press and marketing (the excellent Marla Carpenter) and clearly could not handle the gigantic tasks of telling our thousands of stories, given the 300+ performances the school achieved every year. For three years, the chancellor collected clippings from local and national papers, magazines and books, edited them into "mailings" that went out three times a year to donors, legislators and members of the boards to celebrate the achievements of students, faculty and alumni. Because of his personal relationship with the award-winning photographer, Donald Dietz, thousands of digital images of students, both on and off stage, were used free of charge to promote the school. The chancellor regularly updated a five-minute slide show that he kept on his personal computer, to give people anywhere he traveled, a virtual tour of the school many had never seen.
In order to create a better sense of community, the chancellor arranged an annual photograph, used for the school's holiday card, that included all the deans and five students (representing the five conservatories) to be sent to the school's constituency. In addition, and with funds from his discretionary account, the chancellor, in partnership with the director of facilities, Chris Boyd, selected Dietz images to be printed in gigantic format and installed on the faces of some of the school's least interesting walls, where they represent the extraordinary talents and achievements of the students. Using discretionary funds, large posters, representing fourth year films, are now installed annually on the façade of the scoring stage, making the film village look more like the Hollywood studios the students hope to enter someday. With the formal acceptance of the school's three color symbolism, inexpensive banners were purchased to dress up the campus during public events. These flags and the entrance banners, which are four years old, still fly in the wind as if brand new and change the atmosphere in bright and theatrical ways.
With no budget to regularly thank existing supporters, the chancellor phoned every major donor, along with members of the Boards, as well as the president and his chief of staff, every Thanksgiving morning for seven years to say thank you.
Because college commencement and high school graduation were the last performances in which students would participate and because it was a moment in which the school would perform for the students, the chancellor created a new matrix for these otherwise somber (and occasionally inappropriately riotous) events. This meant creating a surprise reveal for the central moment of the unveiling of the diplomas involving a character from popular culture rising from the orchestra pit and turning the serious event into serious fun. The participation of various faculty members and the designs created by third year D&P students made this an instant tradition. Professor Dumbledore, Indiana Jones, grandpa in "Up!," Mary Poppins, as well as performances by Kristin Chenoweth and Alan Menken at the piano created truly memorable events for our newest alumni and their parents.
As a performing artist, the chancellor occasionally conducted the UNCSA orchestra, conducted and/or produced film scores, music directed the all-school musicals, brought live orchestral accompaniment back to dance performances and took the school, whenever possible, to perform throughout the state of North Carolina: to the Grove Park Inn in Asheville, the NC Museum of Art in Raleigh, UNC Chapel Hill's Memorial Hall, and at major events, such as the installation of UNC President Ross. In addition, the chancellor led memorial concerts for Philip Hanes and Mary Semans, along with a commemoration of Millicent Hayden's life as a major dance faculty member and the retirement of Dean Susan McCullough. He taught, when invited, in film, music history, philosophy, and world history. Under his leadership, UNCSA published its first book, Celebrating 'West Side Story', and released its first commercial CD (Much Ado About Nothing). A second commercial CD (the complete score to Rodgers & Hammerstein's Oklahoma!) is in the works.
Initiated a simultaneous re-broadcast of Oklahoma! as a fundraising telethon with CBS affiliate WRAL-TV and UNC-TV, raising over $100,000.00 toward the relief funds for the victims of tornadoes in the state of Oklahoma, and bringing the school to the attention of many thousands of North Carolinians.
Secured the first $1 million pledge to name the new library after Mary and James Semans.
The chancellor continued to be published during his seven years at the school. Some of these are:
Gershwin: Porgy & Bess (restoration of the original 1935 text) - Decca Records (three UNCSA alumni in the cast) - Nashville Symphony.
Elfman: Serenada Schizophrana - Sony Classics.
Gershwin: Strike Up the Band! (1930) cast album - PS Classics.
Korngold: Much Ado About Nothing - Toccata Classics (with the UNCSA orchestra).
Various DVD bonus album appearances, including: West Side Story (Blu-Ray release), The Fall of the Roman Empire, and El Cid. "The Art of 'Translation'" - published in Fashions and Legacies of Nineteenth-Century Italian Opera (Cambridge University Press). Submitted: June, 2013.

There are also plenty of quiet private places for you to sit and chat with other guests or just enjoy a quiet moment on your own, the choice is yours. You could also sit up on the hill on the ancient stone threshing area, while there just take a moment to wonder at how in the past men carried and laid these massive stone slabs in this out of the way spot. We find one of most beautiful spots to quietly sit at sunset is by the entrance drive, here you can sit and watch the sun disappear into the hills to the west over the river valley. But do not worry there is virtually no traffic to disturb you and there is plenty of wildlife to see.

Ruth McCormack hits back
It takes a lot to climb into a boxing ring and fight, here's one brief story of a young women's journey to become a fighter in the ring. These amazing before-and-after images show a woman who has transformed her lifestyle thanks to an intense training and nutrition plan. But what they don't show is woman who has battled throughout her most important school days and adulthood as a victim of bullying.
Queen's University graduate Ruth McCormack will take her fight to the next level – and will go between the ropes for her debut kickboxing bout in Belfast, finally rewarding herself for stopping a spiraling bout of depression in her life.
Ruth will headline in The Divas show in the city's Holiday Inn Hotel, less than a year after she first entered the dilapidated Prokick Gym in east Belfast.
The 36-year-old, who is now studying for a Masters Degree in Environmental Toxicology, said: "I cannot believe it has come to this; that I will be kickboxing in a competitive show. I would never have dreamed this to be possible – I have finally found the person that was supressed and depressed and I am ready to unleash many years of frustration."
It was when she saw a holiday picture of herself did Ruth first realise she has piled on weight after leaving school. She weighed a whopping 90kg – a far from healthy weight for a woman standing just 5-foot 2-inches tall.
She added: "I suffered throughout school but hadn't noticed the weight gain or what I was doing to myself as a result of the depression that came with being bullied. I am an only child, and I guess I went to school as an introverted character. I did
not mix well with other students and was felt socially inept. I was an easy target for bullies and I got more than my share.
"Every morning going in to school I would shake with anxiety. I would leave depressed at the end of the day,dreading what was to follow the next day. I focused on my education anddid well. I left with 10 GCSEs and three A-levels but I suffered throughout it and could not wait to leave school."
University was somewhat more welcoming for Carrickfergus-born Ruth but the impact of her Grammar school days was still taking its toll."I felt relief when I finished school," said added. "It felt like chains had been removed, even though I knew I was going to face another few years in the company of students at University and that the same thing could happen all over again. "The bullying had such an impact on me that I had to go through counseling. I think I must have been at an all-time low. It was a chronic period to have to go through." The turning point for Ruth came when she saw a holiday snap and had to double-check it was her in the picture She added: "When I saw myself in a picture I didn't realize how much weight I had put on. I was shocked. I told myself 'this has to stop'.
"My friends were supportive, and one of them recommended I try out the Prokick Gym because she had seen
people of all ages and sizes go into it for kickboxing classes. I was dreading it but picked up the courage to give it a go.
"The welcoming atmosphere in the gym helped and it kept me involved. No-one knew anything about me – and they
didn't know I had been bullied. They just took me as another member wanting to learn a martial art and get fit."I ended up mixing in with other women in the gym and now we train together and we're about to fight together; it's an amazing feeling. I have sisters and brothers all around me."
Ironically, Ruth's coach, former world kickboxing champion Billy Murray, was also a victim of school bullying. He said: "I got fed up being bullied it spurred me to take on a martial art. I tried a few things before I discovered kickboxing. I hear lots of stories from members about why they have joined Prokick but it always brings me back when someone tells me they want to learn how to defend themselves because of bullying. "Ruth is an inspiration – she is proof that there is a positive choice a person can make for themselves
in the face of bullying or lack of confidence." On March 29, Ruth will go between the ropes weighing in at just 58kg – fighting fit and ready for the next round of whatever life throws at her.

A big thanks to ProKick Alex McGreevy, for words, Collette O'Neill for photographs and Ruth for sharing her story.

Mission Orders
To capture the mysterious boy, you must first locate the fourth mothercrystal. To do this, you have been ordered to travel to the nations of Bastok, Windurst, and San d'Oria to learn of the Multinational Expedition that was held nearly thirty years ago.
After cutscene, the mission divides into 2 parts - SanDoria route and Windurst route. Route details are given below. You are free to go through either route. You can also go through both routes at the same time since there's no need to complete one route to start the next. After completing both routes, head back to Metalworks and talk to Cid.
M 3-3A: SanDoria Route (Emerald Waters)
3-3 A1: Enter North Sandoria to start this leg of the mission.
3-3 A2(Vicissitudes): Talk to Arnau the priest in the Cathedral. Next talk to Chasalvige in the Manuscript Room on the left.
3-3 A3(Descendents of Line Lost): Next go to Carpenter's Landing via the (E-6) Entrance Point in Jugner Forest. Look for a NPC called Guilloud beside a boulder at (H-10). Talking to him will spawn a Malboro mob named Overgrown Ivy. LV75 character with nin or whm sub should be sufficient to defeat it however watch out for it's Hundred Fist ability.
3-3 A4 (Louverance): After defeating Overgrown Ivy, talk to Guilloud again, then return to South San D�oria and look for Hinaree at the Manor (B-6). This ends the Sandorian leg.
M 3-3B: Windurst Route (Memories of a Maiden)
3-3 B1: Enter Windurst waters to start this leg of the mission.
3-3 B2 (Comedy of Errors): Head to Rhinostery right-hand room (J-9) and talk to Ohbiru-Dohbiru. Next go to Winwalls and talk to Yoran-Moran at his house. Then go back to Windurst waters to Timbre Timbers Tavern (F-10) and talk to Kyume-Romeh.
3-3 B3 (Comedy of Errors): Go to the southern portion of Windurst waters to the house of Honoi-Gomoi (E-7). Talk to Honoi-Gomoi to receive a key item Mimeo Mirror. Go back to Winwalls again to talk to Yoran-Oran for the method to repair the mirror.
To repair the mirror, you need to go to Attohwa Chasm to find a point marked "Loose Sand" (K-8). Checking the point will spawn a Antlion mob called Lioumere. Try to fight it away from the Loose Sand spawn, if it returns to the base, its HP will be recovered. Defeat it and check the Loose Sand again to get another key item Mimeo Egg. Next, you'll need to climb the intricate mountain of Parrademo Tor to reach the summit within a time limit of 1 hour before the egg disappears and check a point marked "Cradle of Rebirth" to get 3 Mimeo Feathers as key item. If you can't get to the top in time, you'll have to check the Loose Sand again (without any antlion fights) and try again. The starting point for the climb up is located somewhere to the southeast corner of the Tor near the Loose Sand. The path is very narrow with no natural barriers so one wrong step and u fall down. However along the way there are some smog barriers that are either permanent or temporary. If you encounter a permanent smog barrier, it usually indicates that you need to continue by falling one step down to the path below. Try to work your way up the summit in a anti-clockwise direction. Return to Windurst and talk to Yoran-Oran.
3-3 B4 (Exit Stage Left): Go to Windurst Walls and talk to Yoran-Oran, then go tp Port Windurst and talk to Yujuju (M-6), then Windurst Waters northern (G-8) and talk to Tosuka-Porika, then go talk to Yoran-Oran again to finish the mission.
It is not necessary to talk to CID to finish this mission because that is part of the next mission, PM 3-4 Tending Aged Wounds.
To read transcripts and watch videos of the cutscenes, see the Road Forks Spoilers page.

I used the Scrapbook Steals Marigold #7 sketch to complete this layout.
I made this layout to remember the times when cross country was not something he thought he could do. Today he took fourth place in a three mile run. I can't believe he has the strength and fortitude to do something I think of as so hard. I don't care if he comes in last or first. I'm just glad he's choosing to be healthy.
The team took second overall.

HIGHLANDS, NJ – The Highlands Boro Library will have a Grand Opening this Saturday June 5 2010 at noon. The Library is located in the towns' Community Center on Snug Harbor Ave. There will be a ribbon-cutting ceremony, and refreshments will be served.
All are invited to the ceremony.
Highlands has not had a library for almost 15 years. Residents had to travel out of town to Sea Bright, Atlantic Highlands or further to be able to borrow books. Library Committee Chairperson Tara Ryan asked the Highlands Council to re-instate the library for over 13 years. When Mayor Anna Little took office she created the Library Committee to research options. Because of reduced budgets and cutbacks, the committee decided to return to the original library space in the Community Center. The Boro Council passed a resolution on April 21, and the volunteer committee under the direction of Mary Muller took swift action. They met 3x per week to cull and up-date the collection. The books were coded, labeled and shelved. The room is re-newed also. ALL work was done by volunteers, and the library will be run by volunteers. There will be no additional costs to the public to open this Boro Library.
The library is sharing space with other groups using the meeting room. Summer hours are Mon. 1:30-4, Thurs. 3-7 and Sat. 10-1. Membership in the Boro Library is free; residents must show proof of address when they apply.

Things Fall Apart
Chris McDonnell, in this week's Catholic Times column, writes "We have seen a movement within the Church that, in some ways, reflects the line of Yeats. 'Things fall apart; the centre cannot hold', but not completely. For our centre, Christ incarnate, is secure and will always remain. What will change with each generation, and I would suggest, must change, is the manner in which we respond to this eternal experience of the loving God."

Charitable magic
Harry Potter and the hugely profitable sketches
LOT 311A in Sotheby's sale of English literature and children's books will follow the auctions of works by W.B.Yeats, Samuel Taylor Coleridge and J.R.R. Tolkien, among others. Preceding it are a couple of stern and unusual injunctions. "The buyer may not publish or reproduce this work or any extract from it," states the catalogue. Although it will be exhibited in New York and London before the sale, the book will be kept in a sealed glass cabinet.
It is humble piece by an author who has sold more copies and has more uncritical admirers than any living author, which means it must be by J.K.Rowling, author of Harry Potter and all his works. The work at auction was not just written by her. It was handwritten by her.
Memento Rowling
"The Tales of Beedle the Bard" is a collection of five wizarding fairy tales, four of them so far unpublished. The author claims Albus Dumbledore left his copy to Hermione Granger (though the auctioneer offers no external proof of this transaction). The stories are all related to episodes in "Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows", the final work in the seven-volume oeuvre.
The book, roughly 5500 words long, is written on acid-free, double-edged, cream-coloured paper, bound in brown morocco and embellished on the cover by an Edinburgh silversmith. The silver corners are decorated with moonstone. The design is based on a medieval prayer book.
She presented six copies as a thank-you gifts to six people who were a significant help to her as she wrote the books. She then wrote a seventh copy to be sold at auction to support a charity called The Children's Voice, which she has helped to found and organise. Proceeds from the sale will go directly to the charity. Sotheby's is waiving the buyers' premium, and money raised from sales of the catalogue, which cost £6 ($12.34) will also go to Children's Voice, which helps children in desperate need in eastern Europe. Ms Rowling explains: "It is the most wonderful way of saying good-bye to a world I have loved and lived in for 17 years."
William Hill, an English bookmaker, have made a betting book on the sale price, with profits also going to Children's Voice, and the punters' response suggests that Sotheby's may have seriously under-estimated the selling price. Sotheby's estimate is £30,000 to £50,000. Hill's book quotes a sale price of £26,000 to £50,000 at 50-1 against—long odds indeed. They indicate the way they are thinking the sale will go by quoting 10-1 against a price of £226,000 to £250,000. Favourite at the moment, priced at 7-2, is a selling price of more than £500,000.
The punters are not daft. They judge the potential worth of the Potter phenomenon from sale prices already achieved by Rowling material: £27,370 for a signed first edition of "Harry Potter and the Sorceror's Stone", and £28,680 for an autographed postcard depicting "Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix".
Ms Rowling and an English politician named Emma Nicholson, who runs The Children's Voice, must be hoping that William Hill are nearer the mark. They have raised £2.5m for far, but they are now down to the last £200,000.
Newspaper photographs of institutionalised children in Romania in caged beds shocked Ms Rowling into action. Together with Ms Nicholson, an experienced campaigner for children's rights, she founded the charity in 2005 to restore a family life for children in Romania, Moldova and the Czech Republic. "There is still a lot to be done," says Ms Nicholson. Rowling and Sotheby's have found an ingenious way of helping to do it.
Sotheby's sale of English Literature, History, Private Press, Children's Books and Illustrations takes place on December 13th in Bond Street. J.K. Rowling's book will be exhibited at Sotheby's New York office at 1334 York Avenue on November 26th-28th, and in London at Bond Street from December 9th-12th. A lapel badge saying "I have seen Beedle the Bard" will be available for children of all ages.

(JTA) — White supremacist, racist and anti-Semitic graffiti was spray-painted on the outside of the Oklahoma Democratic Party headquarters in Oklahoma City.
The messages discovered on Thursday were spray-painted in blue, and were washed away with a power spray later in the day.
Among the messages were "Welcome to Germany," "Trump hates Israel," "Gas the Jews," and "The Goyim know," as well as the number sequence 1488, which is a reference to Adolf Hitler.
Other state agencies, non-profit groups and businesses are located in the building.
The Oklahoma Democratic Party said in a statement it was "devastated by the recent hate crime attack at our Headquarters this morning." NBC News reported.
"We appreciate the outpouring of support for this cowardly act as the community comes together to denounce hate and bigotry," the party said in a statement.

Evidently, when Olga Custodio hears the words "No, you can't," her usual reply is "Watch me."
When Custodio, the daughter of a U.S. Army attache from Puerto Rico, was turned away from enrolling in ROTC at age 16 because she was a woman, it ignited in her a drive that would not be satisfied until she succeeded in her dream of becoming a military pilot.
Custodia will present "An Evening with Olga Custodio" at 7:30 p.m. Sept. 19 in UW-Eau Claire's Schofield Auditorium to open the 2019-20 season of The Forum. Doors will open at 7 p.m.
The first Latina to complete U.S. Air Force military pilot training and serve as a fighter pilot, Custodio then went on to become the first Latina commercial pilot for American Airlines. Since retiring from her 20-year post as an airline captain, she also has become the first woman flight instructor at two major U.S. Air Force bases.
Custodio energizes audiences around the country with her irrepressible spirit, her dedication to service and country, and her commitment to empowering young women to succeed in STEM and other male-dominated fields. She hopes to inspire listeners to believe in themselves and in her personal mantra, "If you want something to happen, you have to go out there and make it happen."

Lifted (2016)/Crossing Over (2016)
Emily Peasgood with the Lifted choir

Review #1 – Emily Peasgood: Lifted (2016). What do you get when you mix community, small spaces, muzak, and a brilliantly bonkers composer?
In 2016 I had the pleasure to bare witness to a strange, bizarre, and frankly quite claustrophobic piece.
Lifted, conceived by Emily Peasgood in 2011 and completed in 2016 features a live choir singing movements between floors in an elevator music installation. Peasgood's intentions were to make us re-think about how we perceive and value music, particularly of the background music genre 'muzak'.
Lifted premiered in the The Turner Contemporary lift (Margate), on Sunday the 17th January 2016, and with its mixture of jazzy scats, tingling harmonies, almost meditative melodies, and its unconventional moments, Lifted certainly made an impression on the audience. I have never seen so many bodies all crammed round a lift and up stairs to watch and hear people sing in a lift. It truly was surreal.
Since then it has been a part of the 2016 Folkestone Fringe Festival Profound Sound on Saturday the 13th of February, where it was performed in smaller and more modest lifts in places like Asda. Further, even though it's been more than a year since it's premiere, I have yet to get all the 'do dos' and 'mind the doors' out of my head. Truly a majestic ear-worm.

One of Peasgood's most recent projects, entitled Crossing Over (29th November 2016), was also performed at The Turner Contemporary at the end of 2016, to mark the anniversary of the Zong Massacre. The first movement consisted of selected recordings of politicians and other figures in the media that oppose migrations and refugees. This was juxtaposed with recordings of people in the community describing what 'home' meant to them. Audience members were asked to put on blindfolds in order to experience the sound and meanings emanating from the performers.
Many audience members, and performers, afterwards were left with a new sense for the meaning of 'home'.
The choral part of the second movement was complex in its simplicity. Starting with a powerful "Ex Patria" moving into a soft lullaby, and ending with the performers calling home to their loved ones, you really did get this sense of longing, of belonging, with a hint of sadness, mixed with melancholy.
I was astounded to learn that both these pieces were performed by (to all intents and purposes), an amateur choir, with members from all over the Kent community. Peasgood is well known within Kent for creating BIGMOUTH Chorus, a choir which is made up of members of all abilities from the wider Kent/Thanet community. To this day, Peasgood provides the right mixture between experimental, contemporary, and community.
Peasgood is also in her final year of here PHD at Canterbury Christchurch University. I hope there is much more to come.

Quick Preppy, put that phone down… you don't want Belding to catch you! For this week's installation of Throwback Thursday, we're going to venture all the way back to 1992. Those were the days, weren't they? Zack, Screech, AC and the gang still roamed the halls of Bayside High, MC Hammer wasn't in bankruptcy, and the Motorola DynaTAC was hot technology.
The DynaTAC series was the first line of commercially produced cellular handsets by U.S. electronics manufacturer Motorola. First introduced in 1983, the DynaTAC was a vast improvement over the previous iteration of mobile telephones, lovingly referred to as "bag phones." The name stood for Dynamic Adaptive Total Area Coverage and the devices originally ran on AMPS cellular networks. Dr. Martin Cooper, father of the modern cell phone, worked for Motorola in the early 1980's and played a critical roll in the DynaTAC's creation. The familiar form of the model survived from the early 80's all the way through 1994; before it was shelved for a more svelte design. Since its demise, the phone has become a symbol of everyone's favorite decade (the 1980's, duh) and — thanks to one of our favorite cameos on Saved by the Bell — and adjetive. Telling someone they have a Zack Morris Phone usually refers to a bulky, out-dated, and overweight cell phone that is in need of replacement.
We'll admit, we're about a half a decade too young to have owned a DynaTAC, but that doesn't mean it can't hold a special place in our hearts, right? Did you know anyone who actually owned a Zack Morris Phone?
BGR's Throwback Thursday is a weekly series covering our (and your) favorite gadgets, games, and software of yesterday and yesteryear.

Our Municipality
Tourist Information
2nd Route : Akova – Kefalari
2nd Route : Akova – Kefalari
At the point where the ridges of Larisa and Aspida (shield) are joined, begins a road to the right, which leads towards Akova and Houni. This is another asphalt path, but without much traffic from cars.
As soon as one turns towards Akova, one should take deep breaths as one will be faced with a short yet steep uphill path. This is the most difficult part of the route.
Staying on the left side of the road you reach a junction where the road heading straight leads to Houni and the lair of the fighters of 1821, which is literally carved on the steep rock. If you stay on the left side though, and keep on going towards our destination, after 400 m. you will come upon the famous Fountain of Akova, with the plane trees and the benches. The rock next to the great plane tree looks as if it's following the visitors with its "two big eyes". These are old rock cavities that were used in the old days as ovens during festivals.
From that point, the road begins slowly to descend and all of a sudden we see in front of us a section of the Argolic Plain and Bay.
On the left side of the street we come across a small shrine. Behind it lies hidden a narrow little bridge, which leads to the chapel of the Taxiarches amidst thick vegetation. We continue the descend staying always on the road.
On our right, on the left turn of the road, we come across a signpost towards Kokla (a small settlement of Argos, which probably got its name from the many bones that were located in the vaulted Mycenaean tombs, in front of the old primary school).
Staying on the main road, a little further ahead, we come across the junction to Kefalari. It is one the many ancient roads of Argos, on top of which new ones have been constructed.
After about 3 km. the road forms a fork. We continue left and before we pass the little bridge on the rive Erasinos, we turn right, almost through some courtyards, and we find ourselves in front of the water installations that women used to wash clothes in the old days. A few steps later we reach the spring of Erasinos, the river god and patron of Argos, as he was called by the king of Sparta Cleomenes (Erasinos springs from a cave right under the temple of Zoodochou Pigis [The Life-giving Spring]). The temple touches the cave where in antiquity Panas and later Dionysus were worshipped. A mystical celebration was performed here, which was named "Tyrvi" (turbulence), because of the noise and the dust created by the participants in the events. To the right and left of the spring, you will surely find a place –among the restaurants and snack bars- which will put you in the mood for a meal, while the adjacent grove will win the hearts of the younger.
From Kefalari if you head east, moving parallel to the banks of the river Erasinos, you can easily find yourselves in the marsh of Argos; while if you head west, after about 1 km., you will see rising to you left the ruins of the sole surviving "Pyramid of Ellinikos" in Greece.

Families of Epilepsy Patients Fail To Get Modesto, Calif., City Leaders To Go For Medical Marijuana Plan
A group of citizens, including parents of children with epilepsy, met with city leaders in Modesto, Calif., with the hope of bringing a facility to the town would provide safe access to medicine derived from marijuana, but they were unsuccessful.
It's become more difficult for local residents to get access to the specific type of medical marijuana that they need. The medicine is called Cannabidiol or CBD, according to News10/KXTV.
One of the parents who spoke was Jason David. His 7-year-old son Jayden has a rare form of epilepsy, and Jason noted that the medical marijuana has changed his son's life, but that it's difficult to find.
"CBD is going to be labeled as one of the greatest findings of mankind," Jason said at the meeting. "It's going to change the medical industry, and now we have a chance here in Modesto to be in the forefront of something huge."
The Davids were in the news recently when the school that had been giving Jayden his medical marijuana for more than a year had to stop after the California Department of Education said the act was illegal under federal law. Jason David now has to go to his son's school every day to give him the medication 1,000 feet from campus.
At least one council member was in favor of the idea of bringing a facility to the town, but The Modesto Bee reported that Police Chief Galen Carroll said that it is not feasible for a city government to be responsible for the regulation of a medical marijuana lab and that current laws do not differentiate between different strains of marijuana.
In the end, two of the three committee members said they couldn't support a CBD lab in Modesto. Councilman John Gunderson made a motion to draft letters asking for support from county and state elected officials, but it failed without a second.
Supporters vowed to seek public support, hoping to change the minds of elected officials.

Given those I guess we should go with matchMedia / addMediaListener / removeMediaListener to match @media and media="" which both also accept media query lists. Then we need to answer the question how to compare media query lists. The suggestions from Luiz make sense but would also affect what MediaList.mediaText returns. The order would suddenly be different. But although that difference may seem larger I suppose it is not very different from the other normalization steps that are taking place. > I'm a little concerned about using a BooleanCallback here.

Does that give a convenient API though? You would need to keep some table around with the mapping from token to media query list. We could go back to having an object that exposes the serialized media query list. Getting a serialized media query list is easy enough by getting to a MediaList object somehow and getting its mediaText attribute. Don't think we need to create a convenient shorthand for that right away. -- Anne van Kesteren http://annevankesteren.nl/Received on Monday, 31 May 2010 12:58:21 UTC
