text: Practice your yodeling skills before Halloween--you'll need them in this girls' Swiss Alps cutie costume. The dress is styled to look like a chemise and vest over a dirndl skirt, and fastens with a back zipper. The short puffed sleeves and ruffled chemise neckline are white cotton broadcloth. The vest bodice is sueded pink brushed cotton knit, trimmed with white, green and pink brocade ribbon. The skirt is green cotton poplin, trimmed with the same brocade ribbon. The white petticoat is an elastic-waisted yoke supporting a tier of netting edged with gathered lace. The brown choker, suspenders (note: they do not have a gold flower in the center as pictured), and belt are all sueded brown brushed cotton knit. The belt fastens with Velcro in back and has four gold-tone filigree buttons where the suspenders are attached. It has a white broadcloth apron trimmed with brocade ribbon sewn to the front. The suspenders are joined by an embroidered front panel, and have one buttonhole on each front end to attach to the belt, and three buttonholes on each back end so the length can be adjusted. The choker fastens with Velcro. Hide the sauerkraut and bratwurst!

The HMO Plan offers comprehensive coverage at a low out-of-pocket cost to you and your family. The primary objective of an HMO is to have only one physician coordinate a patient’s care through the HMO network of physicians, medical offices and hospitals. Under this plan, you MUST choose a Primary Care Physician (PCP) and a medical group from the Anthem network. If you do not, Anthem will assign a PCP and medical group to you.
The HIA Plan does not require that you select a primary care physician. Much like the PPO plan, you may obtain services outside the plan network; however, you will incur higher out of pocket expenses and you are responsible for filing claims. This plan also includes a Health Incentive Account in which the health plan places money for you to use on routine medical care.
The Anthem PPO plan offers you the freedom to go in and out of the network for care. You may use a PPO provider whose negotiated rates provide richer levels of benefits, with claim forms filed by the provider. You may also obtain services outside the PPO network; however, you will incur higher out of pocket expenses and you are responsible for filing claims.
The Anthem PPO plan also offers you the freedom to go in and out of the network for care. You may use a PPO provider whose negotiated rates provide richer levels of benefits, with claim forms filed by the provider. You may also obtain services outside the PPO network; however, you will incur higher out of pocket expenses and you are responsible for filing claims. This plan is similar to the PPO 500/20/10, except you will trade reduced benefits for reduced price.
The Anthem DHMO provides dental care through a network of dentists. There are no deductibles, plan maximums, or claim forms. You must select an Anthem Primary Care Dentist to receive covered dental care or a referral to a specialist. Services are covered on a co-payment basis.
The Anthem PPO covers a wide range of dental services. You have the freedom to go in and out of network for care. You may visit a PPO Dentist and benefit from the reduced contracted fee resulting in less out of pocket expense. You may also visit an out of network Dentist, where services will be based on a reasonable and customary amount and you will be responsible for any amount owed after insurance has paid.
The Anthem vision plan provides professional vision care and high quality lenses and frames through a broad network of optical specialists.
Life insurance is an affordable way to help you provide financial security for your loved ones. We provide coverage that is both comprehensive and affordable for you and your family. This benefit is 100% company paid.

The STD plan provides you with disability income benefits for disabilities resulting from a non-occupational injury or illness.
The LTD plan is designed to provide you with a reasonable level of income replacement in case you can no longer work due to a disability.

Opinion: Is it too much to ask?
In the spirit of constructive critique as we begin the last year of the first decade of the third millennium, here are my suggestions for how some of the household names could improve.
Invest 10% of your annual renenue to cure world poverty.
Link Google Earth with Google Book Search so I can look over the shoulder of anyone on the planet and read their newspaper.
Remove the commenting feature from YouTube.
Actually implement WinFS. For reals.
Remove 100 stupid features from every product in your catalogue.
Make a mouse that has actual buttons.
Make iChat support MSN with video chat natively.
Make a Mac Mini that can play World of Warcraft.
Stop using random local placenames as product code names.
Integrate all the motherboard chips on the CPU die and use a standard, modular socket from now, so increasing CPU power is just a matter of plugging in another chip.
Make a CPU with integrated warming plate for your coffee cup.
You know, like the good old days?

When he first arrived, the area used to be relatively uninhabited. There were lots of empty properties and the council would give prospective tenants a few sets of keys and let them choose which they wanted. But towards the end of the nineties, the housing stock filled up. Now, people can wait up to a year to be housed.
Saleh owns the building his shop occupies and business was very good up until a year or so ago. Recently however, his takings have halved. Saleh thinks this is partly to do with the recession and people being more careful, but also, there used to be 4 mini-markets around The Green and now there are 13, so there’s a lot less custom to go round.
Most of Saleh’s trade is done on credit. Customers can accumulate up to £200 or £300 each and pay it off at the end of the month. He has a credit book in which he writes things down, but some of his customers just help themselves to what they need, (there’s a golf club in the shop, which is used to hook down boxes of cereal or rice from the upper shelves), then keep a note of what they owe themselves.
Occasionally, someone will ask for cigarettes or some Khat to chew and say they’ll come back with the money. He knows they probably won’t, but as it’s only a couple of quid, he’ll still give it to them to save a fuss. Most customers are local, but some come from afar. Occasionally they’ll even get Saudi Arabian students from Manchester driving over to Sheffield to eat in neighbouring restaurants, before stocking up on familiar flavours at Saleh’s. The language of the shop is primarily Arabic.
If customers want something that he doesn’t stock, they will go elsewhere, but otherwise they are very loyal. When we asked why customers choose his shop rather than one of other 12, he replied: “I respect them and they respect me”. His friend agreed. “He’s been here the longest and he is trusted”.
NB: As was the case with almost every shop we visited in Istanbul, Saleh hospitably offered us a drink during our conversation, and gave us a bottle of mineral water each.

Coinbase reported yesterday, Wednesday, August 1st, that the cryptocurrency exchange platform’s UK clients can buy Bitcoin (BTC) and other cryptos with British Pounds.
Until now, customers had to maintain their fiat money in Euros instead of GBP, and this implied that to buy Bitcoin (BTC) and other cryptocurrencies on Coinbase lasted a few days and resulted in foreign exchange surcharges.
We have worked hard in recent months to add GBP support for Coinbase clients to several of our product offerings in the UK. We have also taken a big leap towards our goal of making Coinbase the most trustworthy and compliant brand on the market. These steps include the purchase of an e-money license for our fiat operations from the Financial Conduct Authority (FCA), support for the Faster Payment Scheme and the first cryptocurrency exchange platform to receive a bank account with a major UK bank.
The US-leading cryptocurrency exchange platform, Coinbase, also announced that it would launch GBP trading pairs that include GBP/BTC and GBP/ETH. Coinbase anticipates that the new services will become increasingly attractive for professional traders.
Faster payments benefit all UK customers and enable almost instant transfers. This is particularly important for Coinbase Pro and Coinbase Prime customers who will now be able to transfer money quickly.
The support for British Pounds (GBP) from Coinbase may also result in a higher volume of cryptocurrency transactions across the UK which, for the time being, is the fifth largest economy in the world.
In July, Coinbase, the renowned cryptocurrency exchange platform, hinted at its plans to expand the number of digital assets it provides to its clients. Because of regulatory ambiguities, the US-based crypto-related company has only marketed Bitcoin (BTC), Bitcoin Cash (BCH), Ethereum (ETH), Ethereum Classic (ETC), and Litecoin (LTC), until now.

text: I neglected to mention the changes I have seen since I began vaping. From the very beginning, when I vaped with 12 nicotine, I experienced noticible differences. I had less coughing, and less phlegm and mucous. But most noticible of all was when I was walking from the parking lot into the grocery story or mall. I was walking faster and without the out of breath labored feelings I usually had. This change has continued to improve as I gradually went from nicotine at 12 to the 0 nicotine eliquid I use now. It is wonderful that I do not reek of cigarette smoke and my awful cigarette breath is no longer there. I can now even vape in my son’s house. The money I am saving is substancial! Before quitting cigarettes, I bought a carton of 10 packs of cigarettes EVERY 7 DAYS, at over $33.00 for the cheapest carton, which means I was smoking More Than a Pack of Cigarettes a Day! My total costs per month with cigarettes, at $132, have dropped like a rock now that I only vape. The results are that I not only feel better, but am saving a substancial amount of money every month, which easily pays for the costs of vaping! My goal is to continue vaping with 0 nicotine and I wonder if one day I will not need to vape at all.

If you even hint that you might be thinking of trying to have a baby soon, your doctor will probably tell you to start taking a folic acid supplement. A daily prenatal vitamin or folic acid supplement beginning a few months before conception has been shown to significantly reduce the risk of spina bifida and other neural tube defects. But it's important to strike the right balance and not allow levels of the vitamin to creep too high, as that could actually raise a child's risk of developing an autism spectrum disorder, according to new research from Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health.
Researchers analyzed data from 1,391 pairs of mothers and kids in the Boston Birth Cohort. The moms were recruited at the time of their child's birth — between 1998 and 2013 — and followed for several years, with the mother's blood folate levels checked once within the first one to three days of delivery.
The study found that if a new mother has a very high level of folate (found naturally in fruits and vegetables while the synthetic version, folic acid, is in vitamin supplements and used to fortify cereals and breads in the U.S.) right after giving birth — more than four times what is considered adequate — the risk that her child will develop an autism spectrum disorder doubles. High B-12 levels in new moms are also considered harmful, tripling the risk, while having extremely high levels of both could cause the risk to increase by 17.6 times.
A large majority of the women in the study reported having taken multivitamins — which would include folic acid and vitamin B12 — throughout their pregnancies. But the researchers say they don't know why some of them had such high levels in their blood. They suspect the excess could be due to women eating too many folic acid-fortified foods, taking too many supplements, or being genetically predisposed to absorbing greater quantities of folate or metabolizing it slower.
"Adequate supplementation is protective: That's still the story with folic acid," says one of the study's senior authors M. Daniele Fallin, PhD, director of the Bloomberg School's Wendy Klag Center for Autism and Developmental Disabilities. "We have long known that a folate deficiency in pregnant mothers is detrimental to her child's development. But what this tells us is that excessive amounts may also cause harm. We must aim for optimal levels of this important nutrient."
More research is needed to determine any further recommendations on supplementing with folic acid when you're expecting. In the meantime, women who are trying to conceive or pregnant are encouraged to talk to their health care provider about what's best for them.

One of my students from last year seems to be in the hallways near my room all the time this year. It’s odd since the 8th grade classrooms are all the way at the other end of the building, but whatever, he misses us. The other day I was talking to him in the hall between classes and he noticed my engagement ring and asked if I got married. I told him the wedding would be next summer and he was practically jumping up and down telling me how happy he was for me. It was so sweet and so genuine that I was grinning for hours afterwards.
I have one REALLY needy student this year. You know the type…he almost can’t do anything without showing it to you immediately to see if it’s right, can it be better, what should he do next and on and on and on. He’s also really scatterbrained and while he really cares about his work and his grades, he can barely follow directions, keep a train of thought, or manage to keep a handout for more than 20 seconds. He calls out for my attention constantly and I am at the point where I just ignore it if I am in the middle of something else.
The other day I was mid-lesson when Needy beganto frantically call my name. This was not unusual so I ignored it. Now, I could see him out of the corner of my eye, but I was writing on the overhead so it’s not like I was watching him that closely. After he continued to call for me I reminded him that we don’t call out in class and he should save the question for two minutes until I was done with the chart we were making and see if his question got answered with the rest of the lesson. About 30 seconds later I hear a shriek and and a very loud THWACK!
I look up, startled, to see Needy standing on his chair, holding a ruler and looking rather proud of himself.
“Miss! I tried to tell you but you wouldn’t listen!” he replied. “Don’t worry though, I handled it by myself!” He pointed to the now-dead giant roach (some of you call them water bugs, but lets just be straight about this, those are really big f-ing roaches) in front of his desk.
Apparently it crawled out of the radiator and was making its way up the wall so he grabbed his ruler and smashed the heck out of it. I gave him a sticker and told him his new class job would to be the killer of creepy-crawlies.
I have a student like that (although I am fairly certain she would never kill a roach- giant or otherwise).
I live in Hawaii so I am used to giant roaches. We call them B-52’s. I’ve been teaching Kindergarten for 8 years. I have lots of hilarious stories. Kids are amazing. You never know what they will say or do.
How long have you been teaching in NYC? I’m planning on moving there next school year. It’s definitely going to be a great adventure. If you can give me any advice about moving there or teaching in NYC, I’d appreciate it.

Crossfit Red Bluff is a premier training facility in the Bayside area of Melbourne servicing the suburbs of Highett, Sandringham, Black Rock, Hampton, Brighton, Beamauris, and Mentone. We are on a mission to improve the lives of our members by helping them achieve their true athletic potential in the safest, most enjoyable way possible.
CrossFit has been called the Sport of Fitness. We sprint, lift heavy things, jump, row, climb, and throw. This training program shows us how to move safely, functionally, and carries our fitness levels over into every aspect of our lives. Whether it’s chasing little kids all day, working physically demanding jobs or just satiating a lust for longevity, CrossFit is a proven fitness regime that will exceed your fitness expectations consistently.
WHY CROSSFIT RED BLUFF ?
At Crossfit Red Bluff we hold fast to the philosophy that position is king. This is something that co-owner Adam learned in his time interning at San Francisco CrossFit with Mobility Guru Kelly Starrett. We push the importance of balance in this life and believe that with intensity has to come recovery. We don’t have a whiteboard to write down your scores or to see if you RX’d a wod or not…all we care about is that you moved safely and did the workout to the absolute best of your ability.
We provide journals for our athletes to record their progress in so they can keep track of personal goals as opposed to comparing their performance to that of other athletes.
In our gym you are family. Whether its your first day or you’ve been with us since day one we will welcome you with smiles and usually a friendly game of Nerf tag. We joke around and love to laugh but will always push you to work as hard as you possibly can. No matter what, if you give it your all and do not give up you will see amazing results.

Kuma explores The Bell Trail at Wet Beaver Creek.
When my family headed up north and took the Sedona exit, I thought we were heading to Sedona because I know that drive well. However, instead of turning left at the Sedona exit off I-17, we went to the right. What was this, uncharted territory? I was alert and ready!
We followed signs toward the Wet Beaver Creek Wilderness area and went only two miles from I-17 until we turned left (just past the one-lane bridge). We passed the Bell Trail overflow parking area and went straight to the main parking lot that has a human restroom. Apparently in the summer, this trail is heavily trafficked with folks desiring to go for a swim, so get there early to find a parking spot. We lucked out and had the trail to ourselves other than a Boy Scout Troup, and they were going to the campground. There’s no fee, and you can only camp in one designated area. Otherwise, the rest of the wilderness is day use only.
The temps were cool; Yeah baby, this was my kind of day! Off we went but not before reading about the trail. Charles Bell made this particular trail back in 1932 to move cattle through the Wet Beaver Creek Wilderness area to the rim. It has a 2,100 elevation gain and is rocky. Oh, this was all sounding great to me, so off we went. I guess it’s still used to move cattle, but I smelled none today.
The trail starts off nice and sandy and follows Beaver Creek. You can hear it, but there isn’t much access to it until the “Y” that veers you off to the Weir Trail. We stayed on the Bell Trail, which then begins to ascend up into the hills. Like Sedona, the rock is red, and we saw beautiful formations. Sedona can get pretty busy, so this was a nice change. Nothing but nature.
We saw the junction where you could hike up and camp. The trail is very well marked, so just keep following the Bell Trail up, and up we went. Humans will want sturdy shoes, as the trail does get rocky. Because of the creek, the canyon is green with lots of vegetation. I bet it would be spectacular in the spring and fall.
The trail goes six miles to the rim and is an out and back. We opted to go four and have lunch at the swimming hole. To find it, take the walking path to your left just before the creek crossing. It’s the only time you would cross, so if you come to it, go back about 10 feet. Just up the short hill is the swimming hole, an oasis in the desert.
My daddy let me jump in and swim around, and we had the place to ourselves. It was so awesome. Woof! Then mom broke out our picnic lunch, and we sat warming ourselves in the sun on the rock. It took us about one and a half hours to get here at about a three-mile-an-hour pace. Allow plenty of time if you go because heading back is rocky and slow going.
After a lovely break, we began hiking back out the four miles. My mom twisted her ankle on the rocks. Thankfully, she’s tough and walked it off. Go mommy.
We enjoyed a quiet and peaceful hike back to the car with the sun getting low. This was such a great hike that I was amped up and couldn’t sleep for the drive home, which was only about an hour. When I got home, I had to zoom around the house in a celebratory dance. Yes, Bell Trail at Beaver Creek gets high marks on the Kuma scale.

Basically you start the commitment off small, such as a totally free E-Book for example. The user then enters their email address, which is them “deciding in”. As soon as this is done, business now has a lead. The user has actually now been added into an e-mail list. From here, the user will be fed more content and offers, intending to attain an upsell to them. This has been proven time and time again to be extremely reliable. What starts as a large quantity of leads, will then transform a little portion into consumers.
If you have an online business that you would like to grow, you can gain from this tool. It has basically whatever you would need, rolled into one platform. This consists of email autoresponders, opt-in pages, sales pages, order types and so on. At one time, all this had to be purchased independently, and it truly did not have the benefit of having whatever you required all incorporated together.
I love that ClickFunnels enables you to try the product for 2 weeks. This is a good sign that a product is legit. It also enables you ample time to see if this would be for you and your company, without the dedication. After the intiial 14 day trial, it will run you $97/month.
While I do understand that this can seem a bit expensive, compared to other products such as LeadPages. Nevertheless, there is more performance in ClickFunnels. Even still, this is a far better cost than having to buy all that it needs to use independently.
There is also what’s called the Etison Suite. This will run you $297 a month, however it’s practically everything you would need for a business. Listed below illustrates the difference between the two packages. Starting, I would recommend the $97/ month deal.
The listed below video provides terrific inside information on ways to develop your first sales funnel. You will observe how whatever is laid out for you. From your landing page design templates, to the upsell and downsell provides that you can select.
It is basic really, you have 100 active users under your affiliate link, and you get $500 to your dream car.
While a little more costly than the competition, ClickFunnels automates a lot of the procedure for you. It does take some dedication on your behalf to learn it all, nevertheless, it will become simpler and easier to put together funnels the more that you do it. ClickFunnels is 100% legit, and I would extremely recommend it.
Even at $97/month, look at what does it cost? it is assisting your organisation. Are you actually losing cash? It is an investment that I feel any major company would have to think about.

SEATTLE — Marco Gonzales and Scott Servais had a little argument after the eighth inning. Gonzales, Seattle's No. 1 left-hander, wanted to finish what he started. As his manager, Servais wasn't looking to push Gonzales' pitch count too early in the season.
Gonzales (3-0) was hoping to pitch the first complete game in baseball this season, but a one-out walk to Mike Trout and a single to centre by Andlelton Simmons ended his night.

1) Doink (Matt Osborne) beat Jim Powers (Robert Mooneyham) in 5:57.
Fun Fact: A big debut here as the much-heralded brothers from Michigan make their debuts. Scott Steiner and his brother Rick started in WCW in 1989 and quickly moved up the tag team ranks, winning their first of 3 WCW Tag Team titles in November of that year over the Freebirds. Even though both men were talented grapplers, promoters seemed to think Scott had what it took to be a solo star, but he was hesitant to leave his brother behind, something that would happen more than once during his career. Scott won the WCW Television Title in late-1992, but vacated it when both he and Rick left for the WWF.
Fun Fact: Jannetty made his big surprise return on the October 31, 1992 edition of Superstars when he jumped out of the crowd, grabbed Michaels’ mirror from Sherri and lined up to whack HBK with it, however, when Michaels turned around and pulled Sherri in front as Marty swung the mirror, crushing Sherri in the face and knocking her out cold. Sherri would be off TV for a month and a half, and her return was teased for the Rumble with the question of whose side she would be on. Sherri stayed neutral for most of the match, but eventually turned on Shawn by slapping him. At the end of the match, she went to hit Michaels with her shoe, but hit Marty instead, giving HBK the win. Jannetty would leave again right after the match, not returning until later in the year, and Sherri would jump and manage whoever feuded with Michaels until she left in the summer of 1993.
Fun Fact: This was a real transition match, as Bigelow makes his first PPV appearance since Wrestlemania IV and Boss Man makes his last for almost 6 years. The funny thing is, these two man criss-crossed career paths from 1988 on. Bigelow left WWF in the summer of 1988, right when Boss Man made his debut. Bigelow then returned to the WWF in 1993 right as the Boss Man was leaving for WCW. Then, when Boss Man left WCW for WWF in 1998, Bigelow was getting ready to return in late-1998. Weird stuff. Anyway, this is Boss Man’s last PPV, as he would be gone just weeks after this match. His final match was on Superstars against Doink in late January. The match was Boss Man’s final one, but was Doink’s first official TV match. The match happened because a few weeks earlier, Doink set up a trip wire in the aisle sending Boss Man flying into the aisle. Needless to say, Boss Man was pissed and the match was made. At the end of the match, Doink sprayed ink in the Boss Man’s eyes, causing him to be sidelined. After a few weeks, the health updates stopped coming, Doink started feuding with Crush and Boss Man was headed to Atlanta.
Fun Fact: Right before this match, Razor Ramon ambushed Owen Hart on one of the first episodes of WWF Mania. The shot of Razor clotheslining Owen out of his chair was replayed numerous times heading into the match, and was even put into the opening credits of Mania.
Fun Fact: This is the first Royal Rumble where the winner got a World Title shot at Wrestlemania, adding some excitement and meaning to the match that had been lacking from 1988-1991.
Fun Fact II: Yokozuna tied the record for latest entry in the Rumble to win (#27). He tied Big John Studd, who entered #27 and won the 1989 Rumble.
Fun Fact III: It took just one year for Ric Flair’s longevity record of 59:26 to be broken. Bob Backlund outlasted Flair, starting at number 2 and lasting 61:10. The record has since been broken twice (Chris Benoit in 2004 and Rey Mysterio in 2006).
Fun Fact IV: This show marks the first WWF PPV match for Jerry Lawler, otherwise known as “The King.” Lawler cut his wrestling teeth in Memphis in the early 1970s, training with the great Jackie Fargo. By the late 70s Lawler was the man in Memphis, winning its top title numerous times. He also wrestled Ric Flair for the NWA World Title, and in fact won the AWA World Title from Curt Hennig in 1987. He was involved in a convoluted merger of titles involving the USWA, World Class and the AWA in 1988, which included Lawler holding all 3 of those world titles at once. His most high-profile feud was with comedian Andy Kaufman in 1982, which also included a memorable profanity-laced episode of “Late Night with David Letterman.” It was revealed in Kaufman’s bio-pic “Man on the Moon” that Lawler and Kaufman had pre-planned the entire feud. Lawler debuted on Prime Time Wrestling as Bobby Heenan’s replacement anchor for Mr. Perfect. Lawler would take up commentary duties on Superstars and also dabble in the ring from time to time. He also continued to book and wrestle in the Memphis-based USWA, which he owned.
Fun Fact V: Let’s just take a moment to mention some other new faces in this match. Max Moon debuted on Superstars in October of 1992 and was basically supposed to be some sort of outer space type guy. He had a funky blue suit and wore a jet pack on his back. He was actually on the first episode of Monday Night Raw, as he battled Shawn Michaels for the Intercontinental Title. The role was originally supposed to be played by Konnan, who was part of the Mexican AAA promotion, but he bailed on the gimmick before he ever wore the costume. Instead, perennial jobber Paul Diamond donned the costume and played Max Moon until he disappeared back to outer space in late March. Also back on the scene is Terry Taylor, who we last saw clucking his way into the 1990 Royal Rumble as the Red Rooster. This time he is back under his real name, with the “Terrific” moniker. He wouldn’t make much progress as an active competitor, and would be relegated to interviewing duties by the summer while still popping up on house shows through August. One more debut is Carlos Colon, the Puerto Rican legend who was brought in as a one time shot to participate in the Rumble. He was a big deal in his home land, but doesn’t get to much of a pop here, and is actually called “youngster” by Gorilla Monsoon. A final debut is the insane Damien Demento, who makes his one and only PPV appearance here. He, like Max Moon, also wrestled on the first Monday Night Raw, as he battled the Undertaker in the Main Event of that show. Demento was best known as Mondo Kleen in Memphis, and would stick around as a jobber to the stars until September.
Fun Fact VI: Well, we had some debuts, but we also have some farewells. This would be the last time we see Ric Flair on a WWF PPV for the next 9 years, as he would lose a Loser Leaves Town to Mr. Perfect match the next night on Raw. He would return home to WCW and stay there until they closed up shop in 2001. This also marks the end of Papa Shango’s run. He had been around for a year or so, but this is the first, and only, time he appears on PPV. Don’t fret, however, for he would be back soon under a whole new persona. This is also the end of the road for Skinner who put on some solid performances over the past year, with his best bout coming at Tuesday in Texas against Bret Hart. Also making a quiet exit into the night is Koko B. Ware. Koko debuted in 1987 and has been a PPV mainstay throughout his career. We mentioned his record in our last review, but I thought he warranted a mention here. Another mid-carder who debuted in late 1991 will make his final appearance in this Rumble as well, and that is the Berzerker. Best known for his brief feud with the Undertaker, where he tried to impale him with a sword, the Berzerker would disappear back to the Indies and wouldn’t be seen until the late 1990s, when he popped back up in WCW as a jobber under his real name, John Nord. Also, on a more high profile level, this the final PPV appearance of Knobbs and Sags, the Nasty Boys. The Nasties debuted in late 1990 and had a pretty damn good run with the WWF, picking up a Tag Title reign along the way. Their final record was 3-5 with wins coming at Wrestlemania VII, Survivor Series 1991 and 1992. Finally, also making his final PPV appearance is the Repo Man, otherwise known as Barry Darsow or Smash of Demolition. Repo would hang on a little bit longer and actually have a brief feud with Randy Savage, culminating with a match on the 1/25 Raw. His final appearance was on March 28 and he would be in WCW by the end of the year, where he would spend the rest of career under a variety of gimmicks.
Justin: A fun, yet bland Rumble. Heading in there were 4 possibilities who could win: Perfect, Yokozuna, Undertaker and Macho Man. You couldn’t add Flair really because his leaving for WCW just weeks later was common knowledge. In fact, they are pumping up the Perfect-Flair Loser Leaves Town Match for the next night through the whole Rumble. Add that to Heenan’s calm nature when Flair is number 1 and is eliminated, and you know Flair didn’t have the juice he had just one year ago. Then, when Taker is tossed halfway through by Gonzalez and Perfect goes out early by Lawler, you are left with two REAL possibilities out of the last 15 guys. I remember a lot of people (myself included) thinking Hulk Hogan was going to make his triumphant return as a mystery guy and win the thing, but he did not, thus providing us with the most predictable winner ever. The crowd, as we keep saying stays alive through the match and as they realize history was being made, really start rallying behind the recently returned Bob Backlund, as he attempts to break Ric Flair’s longevity record that had been set one year earlier. The Rumble is good, but not spectacular, but gets the major points and feud story plots across just fine. Everyone puts out a good effort and the crowd seemed to enjoy it, so you can’t ask for too much more, really.

What's up guys, how's everything going? I have been having some crazy busy days lately, and it's easy to feel beaten down and exhausted. However, I refuse to let life get to me like that. Everyone has something reserved for a bad day to pick themselves up. While some people reach for a treat or their favorite accessory, I choose to crank up my makeup. What do I do? I swap my usual black or brown eyeliners with vibrant colors.
The eyeliners I use are purple, green, burgundy, and turquoise. These colors along with navy blue, are the most common colorful eyeliners, and they usually come in crayon or gel. They are less precise than liquid eyeliners, but they give much more pigmentation, which is what we want.
Because I usually apply these vibrant colors in day-to-day life instead of going out to party or something, I apply the colorful eyeliner to my top lid and blend it out just a little bit. If you feel like the color is too much to wear into the office, you can always apply a thin layer of black liquid eyeliner on top, and let the color peak through a little. They don't need to be as dramatic as the ones you see on fashion magazines. Follow your heart and do whatever you feel comfortable with. For me, even the most subtle yet unusual color makes all the difference.
However, these are also perfect to make you stand out in any party occasion. You can apply them on your lower lash line and really blend it out, or make a cut crease statement eye makeup. That is the beauty of having these colorful eyeliners, you can truly play with them and let your creativity run wild!

http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-wBZ0VNKMAr4/TY-vTyEGQTI/AAAAAAAAAZY/28j4SpXtxKc/s320/beerritz.jpg (http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-wBZ0VNKMAr4/TY-vTyEGQTI/AAAAAAAAAZY/28j4SpXtxKc/s1600/beerritz.jpg)OK, it's been a crazy couple of weeks, but here's what happened.
Basically, some information came to light regarding the structure of the company, and how that impacted onto UK company law. We had to stop trading immediately and resolve the situation, but for one reason and another, this was less than straightforward. The upshot was that the entire business, comprising the shop, the wholesale business Beer Paradise, and the mail order service beerritz.co.uk (http://www.beerritz.co.uk/) had to stop trading immediately and indefinitely.
It wasn't a solvency issue - the business is solvent and viable. But equally, we were advised by a fancy, serious, £400-an-hour lawyer (and it was a loooooong meeting) not to do anything on behalf of the company, so if you called me and I seemed less than helpful, I'm sorry. But read on, because there's good news.
Myself and the company operations manager rushed around trying to find a solution, and have happily succeeded. We organised a management buy-out - basically, we made an offer for the entire company (shop, wholesale and mail order), which was accepted. We are going to continue trading, honouring all existing debts and liabilites, and are going to carry on and build an even more successful business, buying and selling great beer to businesses and consumers across the UK and beyond.
At a company level, we are incredibly grateful for all the understanding and offers of support that people have given us. It's often implied that the beer business is friendly and gentlemanly, but to have it demonstrated so freely and generously is a humbling experience. At a personal level, I'd like to thank James Clay, Vertical Drinks and BrewDog for coming up with offers of employment that most people would tear off an arm to get. I'm sorry I couldn't take up your amazing offers, and I'm genuinely floored and flattered by them.
There are still some challenges that remain to be overcome, but as the Batman of Brewing Stuart Howe said recently, "true strength is forged on the anvil of adversity". I'm sure that we can continue to build a great company. Whether I can do that while continuing with a career as a writer is another matter. Frankly, I hope so, but things may go a little quiet here for a bit.
Lastly, thanks very much for all the kind words that people have written on their blogs and tweets over the last few weeks. It's been great to hear all of that enthusiasm, not only for the shop, but also for the sector as a whole. The great news is that the sector is still in growth - what has happened isn't bad for the craft/alternative/independent beer scene in the UK, it's good news. We're going to be around for years to come, and I haven't even told you the best bit: I now have a half share in a fork-lift truck. If that's not something to get excited about, I don't know what is.

Deciding what kind of diet program to feed a Ridgeback comes with a couple of challenges, even though. My dog eats people meals also, but sadly it is not the very best and my dog is 9 1/2 years old so trying to institute new food will not function he is a stubborn pure breed and extremely fussy about his meals. For these days, the situation is that we unknowingly and quite frequently give our domestic dogs a treat from our dinner plate that can, and in fact has, killed many dogs. As opposed to wolves, domestic dogs evolved to digest carbohydrates, and grains add fiber to their diet.
Make a modify nowadays & join us, we guarantee to deliver delicious, healthful meals to inspire & support you, each inside & out. Bart is truly my massive brother, and his dogs (like mine) are at the top of our list in life. I would have fed these foods to my doggie Duncan had you not told me they were unsafe. But it’s easier to discover out if a cat meals is very good by looking at the label, not the marketing.
NutriFit believes in providing viable options for scrumptious, organic food to anyone living in L.A. – and beyond. I use to feed my cats friskies’ Huge mistake all they did was throw up from it then i put them on Blue Buffalo’ they bin on it for a month now and their coats are like silk and their breath smells a lot better’ no much more of the other crap!
I hope this assists you in your quest for dog foods that will be a good addition to you and your dogs’ life. I wouldn’t recommend any particular person comply with your k9 diet program history, as their final results could be quite diverse. But, again, I am extremely pleased your pooches did properly on the meals you offered for them. Many commercial dog foods have garlic oil, garlic extract or garlic powder in them. Adding a bit of fruit can make the food especially tasty, as most dogs like fruits.
I wouldn’t do it, the salt content alone is sufficient for me to hold bacon out of my dogs’ diet plan. I place adequate meals to final 3 days (feeding twice per day) into a glass bowl with cover and refrigerate it. The remainder is frozen in every day amounts that can be effortlessly defrosted overnight in the refrigerator. This is so essential I will repeat it further in this post, along with an expanded list of foods identified to harm dogs. I chuckled when I study about the cats providing you the cold shoulder” following you returned from England.

Achilles tendonitis is when the achilles tendon becomes inflamed or irritated. This inflammation is often the result of a lot of stress on your calf muscles and achilles tendon from either a sudden increase in intensity or frequency of exercise. Chronic overuse can contribute to micro-tears in the achilles tendon, leading to wear and tear over time that weakens the tendon and thickening of the tendon from scar tissue.
When treated promptly, achilles tendonitis is often short-lived. Left untreated, Achilles tendonitis can cause persistent pain or cause your tendon to rupture. The healing process causes scar tissue to form. Because scar tissue is not as elastic as the tendon, the scar tissue doesn’t allow the tendon to stretch normally, which can lead to a rupture of the tendon.
Fortunately, rest and over-the-counter medications to reduce your pain and inflammation may be all the treatment you need for Achilles tendonitis. In some cases, physical therapy may be needed. If you ignore symptoms, the result can be a rupture or tear of the tendon and surgery may be needed.
Before you read any further, it might help to brush up on Foot and Ankle Anatomy.

2 What Causes Achilles Tendonitis?
3 What do Achilles Tendon Problems Feel Like?
4 How are Achilles tendon problems identified?
5 What Are My Treatment Options?
Where is the Achilles Tendon and What Does it Do?
Tendons are strong, fibrous tissues that attach muscles to bones. When muscles contract, the muscle pulls on the tendon that moves the bone. The achilles tendon attaches the two calf muscles (the outer gastrocnemius and the underlying soleus) that share the achilles tendon to the heel bone (calcaneus).
When contracted, the calf muscles pull on the achilles tendon causing the foot to point downward helping you to rise up onto the ball of your foot. As the calf muscles relax, they allow you to lower your heel to the ground. This powerful muscle group in your calf helps you sprint, jump, or climb and provides the push-off phase in walking and running.
The achilles tendon is one of the strongest in the body but is prone to injury because of the tremendous pressure that is put on it with every step we take.Achilles tendonitis is often an overuse injury—doing too much too soon.
Problems with the Achilles tendon affect athletes most often; especially runners, basketball players, and sports that require jumping—like volleyball and tennis. Problems are also common in middle-aged adults. Tendonitis can also be caused by calf muscles that are too tight. Some injuries to the Achilles tendon are minor and some—ruptures—are rather severe.
Achilles tendonitis can be either acute which occurs over a period of a few days following and increase in training, or chronic which occurs over a longer time. In athletes, problems are often acute following a sudden increase in training—either distance, speed or hills. Risk factors for non-athletes include diabetes, age, obesity, steroids, certain antibiotics or a “weekend warrior” injury.
What do Achilles Tendon Problems Feel Like?
Chronic Achilles tendonitis can follow acute tendonitis if untreated. Chronic tendonitis is more difficult to treat.
You can have pain either where the Achilles tendon attaches to the calf muscle—tendonitis—or where it attaches to the heel bone (calcaneus)—bursitis. There is a fluid-filled sac between the tendon and the bone, called a bursa that limits friction when the tendon glides up and down at the back of the heel bone. Bursitis usually starts as pain and irritation at the back of the heel. You may see redness or swelling there. Shoes can aggravate the condition making it hard to wear shoes but some are better than others for tendonitis.
How are Achilles tendon problems identified?
Diagnosis is done by your doctor taking a history—“what were you doing when the pain started?”—and a physical exam to see where your calf and/or foot hurt. You will likely have xrays to rule out fracture and show bone spurs or other problems.
Your treatment will depend on the severity of our injury and how long it has been since your injury. You will likely be started on rest, ice and anti-inflammatory medicines such as aspirin or NSAIDs.
Resting the painful Achilles tendon allows the inflammation to subside and allow for healing. A period of rest—stopping the activity that is causing the pain—after the onset of symptoms is important in controlling Achilles tendonitis.
In patients who have more significant symptoms, a period of immobilization can help. Either a removable walking boot, or sometimes even a cast, can allow the inflamed tissue to cool down quickly. Wearing a walking boot keeps the calf muscle from pulling on the Achilles tendon.
The boot prevents you from pushing off with the ball of your foot or pointing your toes downward. The walking boot should be worn when walking. However, there is some benefit to wearing the boot even when you’re at rest as the boot keeps a slight stretch on the tendon and prevents further shortening.
A night splint keeps the foot in a similar position as the walking boot, with a gentle stretch on the Achilles tendon. However, a night splint is not sturdy enough to allow walking.
Daily use of a night splint while sedentary, from minutes to several hours, can help physical therapy and continues the rehabilitation while at home. After recovery, a night splint can help prevent recurrent strains and maintains lower extremity flexibility, especially in athletes.
For some injuries, physical therapy is recommended to help remove or stretch scar tissue and to control pain and swelling. Patients with mild symptoms of bursitis or tendonitis often do well with two to four weeks of physical therapy.
The physical therapist’s goal is to keep your pain and swelling under control, improve your range of motion and strength, and make sure you regain a normal walking pattern. Treatments such as ultrasound, moist heat, and massage are used to control pain and inflammation. As pain eases, treatment progresses to include stretching and strengthening exercise.
Physical therapy can also include shock waves, ultrasound, and ice. The key to proper ice and heat therapy is knowing when to ice and heat an injury. Your physical therapist knows when and how to apply treatment to reduce swelling and pain while still allowing the healing inflammatory process. Your therapist will teach you a home-care program to go along with the office therapy to help speed healing.
One purpose of the treatment is to break up scar tissue that has formed and to stretch out the scar tissue allowing the tendon to stretch normally without pain or tearing. The order of treatment is important. You don’t want to stretch a “cold” tendon. Injured tendons shorten and need to be stretched.
Also, be careful not to overdo stretching. Only gentle stretches for the calf muscles and Achilles tendon are used at first. As the tendon heals and pain eases, more aggressive stretches are done. Ask your therapist, “On a scale of 1-10, how much should I be stretching the tendon.” To prevent further scar tissue from forming, ice is applied after stretching, massage, or treatments. Don’t overdo therapy as this can slow down the healing process by adding further injury to the tendon.
Ultrasound—high or low frequency sound waves—can help increase the blood flow to the area to reduce swelling and speed healing. The vibrating sound waves can travel deep into the tissue (muscles) creating gentle heat. The heat increases the blood flow to the area to deliver oxygen and nutrients and remove cell wastes. The deep heat also helps relieve pain, inflammation and muscle spasms. Ultrasound is painless. You may feel tingling; often, you won’t feel anything at all.
Low-energy shock wave therapy has been used successfully for chronic tendonitis. This therapy does not need anesthesia and can take several treatment sessions. The vibrations produced by the energy waves are applied to the painful areas. Shock wave therapy stimulates soft-tissue healing by increasing blood supply to the treated area.
Small electrode pads are placed on the painful area. Then you control the degree of “shock” to the area. The therapy can last as long as 20 minutes. During the treatment, you can increase the intensity as you adjust to each level. During treatment you should feel a tingling sensation, but not pain.
Electrical stimulation can also be used in iontophoresis. This treatment involves the application of a topical anti-inflammatory to the area. The stimulation forces the medication into the tissues reducing inflammation.
Steroid injections are rarely used because it is believed they can weaken the tendon increasing the risk of total rupture.
If you have mild symptoms, you should do well with 2-4 weeks of physical therapy; more severe injuries can take as long as 2-3 months. As your condition improves, you can begin doing exercises to strengthen your calf muscles. Strengthening starts gradually using exercises that work the calf muscles but protect the healing area.
Eventually, you can do specialized strengthening exercises that work the calf muscle while it lengthens. For example, standing on your tiptoes and then carefully lowering your heels back to the ground.
When your healing is well under way, regular visits to the therapist’s office will end. Your therapist will continue to be a resource, but you will be in charge of doing your exercises as part of an ongoing home program. You should be able to get back to normal activities. If you are an athlete, you will be guided through rehab specific to your sport.
It is important to properly rehab the tendon after you recover from the injury or the injury will return.
• Q. How long do you have to wear walking boot?
A. How long you have to wear a walking boot will depend on how bad your injury is. Your first follow-up visit will likely be in 2 weeks after wearing the boot. If you still have problems, then you will likely wear the boot for a month and then follow-up with your doctor. If you still need the boot after two weeks, you may also be started on physical therapy which includes massage, and stretching exercises. The purpose of the boot is to rest the tendon.
The downside is you can lose muscle tone in your foot and calf from lack of use. You should wear the boot except to sleep at night. Achilles tendonitis can be caused by calf muscle inflexibility. Even when you’re sitting, wearing the boot will position your foot to keep your calf muscles in a slight stretch. Your doctor or PT may also prescribe a night boot for you to sleep in. The night boot is softer than the walking boot and is designed to keep a constant, slight stretch on your calf muscles. Because of the poor blood supply in this area, Achilles tendonitis can heal very slowly.
Without following proper treatment, you can injure the Achilles even more possibly requiring surgery, a cast and crutches.
I have had Achilles Tendonitis twice in my right foot. Wore boot and physical therapy and seemed to get better. That was 7 months ago. Now it’s back and my other heel hurts too. Afraid he is going to tell me to have surgery and has anyone had it in both heels and had surgery on both at same time?
How long will tendon heal after tendon repair surgery?
Hi, Lynne! Based on the information you’ve shared, the pain in your ankles might not be tendonitis, and might actually be related to your OA. However, because there is no definite way for us to diagnose your condition, we suggest that you visit your primary care doctor to get proper diagnosis and treatment.
I must be suffering from the chronic middle-aged version, as I am not an athlete, also suffer from chronic osteoarthritis and degenerative disc. That said, it would not have come from strenuous exercise or running! It is becoming very painful though, mostly in my right Achilles, but the left as well. Always bad in the morning and also throughout the day. I’m thinking about the night splint. Anyone else in my particular situation? At least someone who isn’t an athlete or has acquired it from an overexertion or injury?
I have Achilles tendonitis and I don’t know if I should where a boot. My doctor gave me these heel cups and said I should be better in 4-6 weeks. I dance so my teachers don’t believe me and make me do the work still. What should I do.
My achilles tendinitis don’t seem to go. I ruptured in 2013, I’ve never healed to date despite treatment. The other leg has severe tendinitis too. Can the braces assist?
I just injured my calf muscle and we think its a pull or tear. Do you think I will have to get a boot?
I hve a heel spur right behind my achilles tendon (back of heel not bottom), and i been in pain for almost 1 month and I finally (practicly) crawled into my local podiatrist office, they put me in a boot and gave me a steriod cream to apply 4 times a day! hope this works!!
I had a severe strain of the achilles tendon last year from running sprints. I wore a walking boot for 6 weeks. When I got out of the boot my calf, foot and ankle were so weak, I had to do lots of stability exercises to get my balance back. I think that boot is a good news – bad news treatment. The good news is your achilles heals but the bad news is how weak your calf and ankle get so quickly.

The lyrics flowed easy and fast.
Each chorus as good as the last.
At first the words came so easy.
It wasn’t a hard thing to do.
The notes and the melody true.
Can suddenly take a wrong turn.
And bridges are suddenly burned.
Perhaps our love song is over.
Perhaps it fades out like the sun.
Perhaps we compose it anew.
Perhaps we just leave it undone.
And less just to waste keeping time.
A couple who no longer rhyme.

In a country where very few people would appreciate risking a human life for an animal’s, a brave and kind boy took the initiative to go against the mainstream, guided by his little intuition and loving heart.
Ayoub, 13 years old, is Moroccan boy who lives in Marrakech city. While he and his friends were playing outside, they noticed a horrific sight of a cat hanging down a tree, meowing. The cat looks scary to death and her screaming tells she is in a dire need of help. As the tree’s trunk was leafless, the animal couldn’t climb it down. When it tries to, her little claws slip and show unable to bear her weight.
“When we heard the loud meows we turned around to see a cat stuck high up a tree. We looked over each other, and over the helpless cat, knowing not what to do”, said Imad, a friend of Ayoub.
“then, Ayoub took the initiative and begun to climb up the tree… I must confess we were scared at the beginning. What if Ayoub slip down, it would be a disaster! Thank god, everything went the right way’’, he added.
Ayoub climbed the trunk a bit by bit among his friend’s voices to urge him to stay watchful. He made his way to top relatively easily, but the tough part of the rescue operation was the journey down! He had to bring himself and the cat both safe! But the brave boy could figure it cleverly by making the cat hold on his cloths using her claws!
“ Actually, I didn’t have any idea in mind on how to bring the cat down when I started climbing. When I was there in top of the trunk I felt some kind of confused. Fortunately, Imad had the right solution and told me from the ground to let the cat take hold of me”, said the little hero.
A hero or a careless boy!
The most embarrassing side is probably how the boy is looked to in a different cultural context! Here in US, Ayoub’s brave rescue operation would rank as hero and would be much appreciated, no question about it. But some cultures and backgrounds do not share the same norms.
Even if Ayoub received a high appreciation from his friends who witnessed the rescue, perhaps much more from the cat, yet that wasn’t enough to spare him the reprimand from his parents! What would have happened if you had lost your balance and slipped down? a question that will ceaselessly uttered at his face.
“ It hurts when you get reprimanded only for saving another life. I know my parents are good and they love me so much and cannot afford to see me taking any risk, less when it is for the sake of saving an animal, any parents would do the same”, said Ayoub.
“I feel proud to do that. I’ll never regret it, and if possible, I’ll do it again without thinking twice”.

Winter is approaching, and next stop is for Christmas. Lets celebrate it with some Christmas reading!
Here is a comic strip I did some 30 years ago.
"Jonas" is a character that I created in 1984. Inspired by the character "91:an" and other Swedish comics, "Jonas" is often driven by puns and slap sticks. A classmate was the model for the figure, although Jonas' personality is probably more like myself.
The stories took place in a small town somewhere in Sweden, and some of the panels glimpses the environment from my childhood village Karlsborg.
So - enjoy some 30 pages of eighties style comics, and have a Happy Christmas!
PS: it’s all in swedish.
This blog has been left astray for a long time now, but it is not quite dead yet!
I've been busy working as teacher in school with a number of new studies, with the time consuming process of creating exercises for it. Here are some of my own work during the preparation and lessons!
A forest scene in lead pencil.
One of my new studies is Image and Form in which we have begun to test different techniques. We started to go out into the nearby forest and made detailed sketches of the landscape with lead pencil. The focus was on the motif by watching more of the landscape than the drawing.
The next step was to revise the drawing with ink and to simplify the motif. We used an old-fashioned type of ink pen for the line art, and brushes with water to the ink to create grayscale.
The same motif in ink and water.
Finally , we did a watercolor version in full color. We tested the wet-on-wet and dry brush to achieve different effects. The watercolor should have the feel of a fairly rapid implementation, so we made several versions of the same motif. While waiting for the previous image was dry, a new one was painted in the meantime.
Water color version of one of the other landscapes.
Now it's fall break, but I will not have that much free time. This week will be filled with illustrations for Jordbruksverket. So the chance is that there are more landscapes!
The trailers for the graduating students of ES10.
So here we go again - this year's graduating students on of Arts program in Eksjö premiered their thesis films last Thursday. This years new event was the severance students at Sörängen Folkhögskola premiered their movies as well. Overall, it was a show of 22 short films in a total length of one hour and twenty minutes!
Everyone was excited and aroused with positive opening jitters.
These premieres has gotten higher and higher in expectations over the years, and the main characters are often dressed-up as for a real gala performance.
The evening ended with dinner at one of Eksjö popular restaurants.
The space cartoon character that I have designed to Sparbanken Lidköpings Arena has come to a full life mascot! The cartoon character has been tailored up in some of his outfits as the arena opened their official website. The result has in my opinion been successful, even if he look a bit scary in full size.
Two newspapers ( here and here ) has written about it.
The figure is as yet untitled and will be baptized by a naming contest.
Last year I made a new version of "Now or Never II - The King Mix", that was more uptempo than the original version from 2009. The song is exclusively made up of Elvis samples, to something I call the first new song the King has ever made since his death in 1977.
I got the idea of letting Elvis sing this song since a few years back as I was experimenting with different "speech engines". I did an English cover of Benny Andersson's "You are My Man" where I autotuned a synthetic voice.
"Now or never II" was originally intended for myself doing the vocals, but my performance was too geeky. Who would I ask for help ...?
1. Locate audio tracks where Elvis sings the "right" words uncovered from accompaniment.
2. Digitally cut out the desired words from these various soundtracks.
3. Auto Tune each word so that he sings it in the right pitch and timing.
Amadeus II is a great and easy-to-use for noise reduction.
1. In order to work with Elvis' voice I needed to find songs where his vocals were layer bare. After much surfing, I found a site for dj's that make custom mixes and mashps (http://www.acapellas4u.co.uk/download_list.php). There were a handful of Elvis songs with his voice exposed.
These "acapella versions" were utilized to the maximum, but I needed more material to work with to find the words I needed - preferably with the right attitude in his voice, when my melody spans a register from subdued to maximum in intensity.
I also combed out Youtube of suitable Elvis songs that I recorded digitally. In many of the '50s songs, the verses are like a duel between Elvis and the orchestra. First, some tough guitar chords, then Elvis responds (as in Jailhouse Rock and Heartbreak Hotel for example). These songs has of course been the subject of my interest.
But the most coveted vocal efforts were often not available on any of the above types of soundtracks. Where Elvis was at his best, background accompaniment was necessary to filter out: noice reduction, high-pass and low-pass filter was used with varying success.
2. The next thing to do was to cut out word by word in the audio editing software Amadeus II. Over time, it became a rather large library of Elvis words - if you want 35 versions of when Elvis sings 'life' - call me!
Melodyne is the opposite of a karaoke machine. No matter how out of tune you are - in Melodyne it’s possible to correct each and every word in pitch.
3. Time to put the audio into the autotuning software Melodyne. Here I could pitch and stretch Elvis' voice so it would fit my tune. There were several pitfalls of falling into in this stage: it could be too much noise left in the background that could even ruin Elvis 'voice, and steered the voice to hard would drop Elvis' special voice out of character and make it unclear. I allowed myself however retain some Cheer-effect in some places, partly by necessity, partly because I saw a point in revealing "the trick".
4. The various elements were then put together in the sequenser GarageBand with accompaniment. To keep it as clean as possible, I have avoided adding some extra effects. It is thus only original sounds own echo and reverb effects that you hear.
All in all, it took me one and a half year to produce the song, with another two and a half year making the video!
You may wonder if it's ok to use copyrighted material this way. There are no sounds on the whole song that is not owned by a record company. On the other hand, much of audio is so distorted from the original that it is difficult to deduce it from a specific recording.
The other night I asked the King Himself what he thought in question, and he replied: "real rock n 'roll has always been on the wrong side of law. So, if it’s up to me, you can do anything as long you lay off of my blue suede shoes”.
Take a look at my latest comic strip for Sparbanken Arena in Lidköping. In this new episode, their spaceman moniker tries his luck on the slippery ice with skates on his feet.
Stollerier 2005 - 2012 is published and unpublished comic strips by me and Danilo Giannini. Click and read!
My comic strip page has been pretty messy since I started it a couple years ago. The pages were all over the place and in the wrong order. Now I have found a page for online publishing that I stumbled across as I worked with Coompanion (see previous post). At the site http://issuu.com/bonordin it’s possible to upload your creations and publish them in a more coherent structure. It's much easier to choose among titles and turning the pages is almost like the real thing, and it’s all free!
So if you have a unreleased master piece in the drawer that publishers do not have the eyes to see potential in - issuu is the site for you!
Me and my brother in arms Björn Skallström has worked with a commercial for a coffee table book recently. The book is called Kooperativ bygger en bättre värld and shows different forms of co-operatives around the world. Our client wanted the images from the book to look like moving pictures, so we did a kind of digital 3D moves in the 2D pictures, and sometimes moving objects within the picture. To show that the images came from the book, we also added stop-motion animation of the book when the pages flipped.

The storm drainage system consists of 30 pump stations, 56 miles of pipeline ranging in size from 6" through 60", 138 inverted siphons, 974 drainage inlets, and 181 acres of drainage basins and drainage ditches. The storm drainage system removes rainfall from surface streets and disposes the accumulated storm water in drainage basins.

This is a link to a video to help homeowners understand the impacts of landscaping to storm water runoff.
The City of Hanford has developed our Storm Water Management Program (SWMP) to comply with State and Federal regulations and improve the quality of life in our city. The SWMP contains activities to reduce the amount of pollution in the storm water that runs off into our basins and ditches.
Storm water originates from rainfall – whatever doesn’t soak into the ground runs off into our basins and ditches. Storm water starts off relatively free of pollutants, but as it flows over the landscape it picks up substances from our roads, parking lots and lawns and carries these substances into the basins and ditches. Storm water is conveyed through a storm drain system, but unlike the sanitary sewer system, it does NOT go to a treatment plant - it discharges directly to our basins and ditches without any treatment. Many of the substances picked up by the storm water are harmful to the plants and animals that live in our streams and ponds, which is why it is important for us to reduce storm water pollution.
