The clinical history of nodular fasciitis consists of a small, superfically located, rapidly growing nodule with a short duration of symptoms from 1-12 weeks. Longer durations of up to a year have also been reported.
Usually patients complain of a single nodule, most frequently found on the upper extremity. Rarely, patients will present with multiple nodules either all at once or at different points in time. Although the tumor is less common in children, lesions in the head and neck are the most frequently occurring variety in patients in this population.
Patients will sometimes complain of pain or tenderness at the sight. Numbness or paresthesia is uncommon and may only occur when the nodule is compressing a peripheral nerve. Ten to 15 percent of cases are associated with a history of trauma.
On physical examination, the nodule appears well circumscribed, often round or oval in shape, and is thought to lie in the subcutaneous tissue. The size is small, ranging from 0.5-5 cm with an average of 1.5-2 cm. Rare cases of larger lesions measuring up to 10 cm have been documented. It is usually freely moveable without attachment to the overlying skin. Nodules are located most commonly on the upper extremity, specifically the volar aspect of the forearm, with other common places being the trunk, head and neck, and lower extremities. Rare sites include the hand and foot. The intradermal variant can present with additional physical features of superficial ulceration and bleeding and they are often associated with increased amounts of pain.
On excisional biopsy the gross appearance of nodular fasciitis depends on the cellularity, matrix composition, and location of the nodule. The lesions can be firm, solid, nodular, or rubbery, and are gray, white or yellow in color. Those lesions with an increased myxoid stroma have a soft and gelatinous consistency whereas those with pronounced collagenous stroma are more firm.
There are three main subtypes of NF; subcutaneous, intramuscular, and fascial. Other less common subtypes include dermal, intravascular, cranial, and ossifying. Most lesions are subcutaneous, well circumscribed, non-encapsulated, and less than 2 cm in diameter. The intramuscular lesions tend to be larger, poorly circumscribed, and invade surrounding soft tissue.
Nodular fasciitis was first described in 1955 by Kornwaler and is a benign proliferation of fibroblasts. This section will emphasize the histological features present most commonly in NF.
Many authors point out the importance of clefts between individual fibroblasts, throughout which there are extravasated red cells. Variable numbers of inflammatory cells may also be present, mainly lymphocytes or plasma cells. Although some authors disagree with the notion that there is a relationship between the microscopic picture and the preoperative duration of the lesion, many have found there to be a close correlation.
Early in the course of the lesion myxoid histology is especially prominent. It becomes more cellular with time, and older lesions tend to have a fibrous histology that may be characterized by hyaline fibrosis. Microcysts may also form in lesions of longer duration.
The probing border areas project into and dissect fascial planes and muscle bundles. Proliferating endothelial cells forming small vessels may be found around the periphery of the lesion in a radiating pattern. Multinucleated giant cells and, rarely, osteoid, bone, and cartilage formation, and areas of hemorrhage are additional features encountered.
Accurate cytologic diagnosis of nodular fasciitis is possible with knowledge of the fine needle aspiration cytology (FNAC) features along with clinical correlation, thus avoiding unnecessary surgical intervention. Sampling error is a possible limitation of this diagnostic technique. There are three different cytological categories for NF: typical, granuloma-like, and myxoid-like.
Granuloma-like NF cytologic features include an Increased number of multinucleated giant cells, hypercellularity, and few or no ganglion cell-like cells.
Myxoid-like NF cytologic features include abundant myxoid material, low cellularity of stromal cells, and no ganglion cell-like cells.
The appearance on imaging is varied and is based on the histologic composition of the nodular lesions.
Nodular fasciitis is a benign self-limited lesion that is often surgically excised for diagnosis with subsequent complete resolution. Studies using FNAC for diagnosis of NF have shown that the natural history of the lesions may in fact be one of spontaneous resolution.
Nodular fasciitis is the most common benign mesenchymal lesion misdiagnosed as a sarcoma. The differentiation is based primarily on growth pattern and cellularity. In comparison to NF, sarcomas tend to have a longer duration, larger size, usually greater than 4 cm, frequent cellular pleomorphism, increased mitotic rate with atypical mitotic figures, and course, granular chromatin. Cells are almost always densely packed and arranged in interweaving bundles resulting in the characteristic “herringbone” pattern. On MRI, sarcomas can have perilesional tissue edema or intralesional hemosiderin deposition.
Cellular nodular fasciitis may be confused with fibrous histiocytoma (FH). Differentiating features include the fact that FH is dermal-based less well circumscribed, demonstrates more polymorphous proliferation of spindle-shaped and round cells, and has a more consistent storiform pattern. Important secondary elements include the presence of chronic inflammatory cells, siderophages, foamy histiocytes, and the absence of ganglion cell-like cells on cytologic examination. Short duration of the lesion with spontaneous resolution points more towards a diagnosis of NF.
NF lesions with prominent myxoid stroma may be differentiated from a myxoma by the latter’s paucity of cells and poor vascularization Fibromatosis is also in the differential diagnosis but can be grossly differentiated from NF by the large size, usually greater than 3 cm, poorly circumscribed lesion, and the typical invasion of the surrounding soft tissue. Microscopically, fibromatosis is comprised of slender, linear fascicles of cells separated by abundant collagen. Mitotic figures are less commonly seen than in NF.
Both proliferative fasciitis (PF) and proliferative myositis (PM), two other pseudosarcomatous lesions, are considered in the differential of nodular fascitiis. PF is distinguished by the decreased cellularity, increased collagen fragments, and abundance of ganglion cell-like cells on histology. Ganglion cell-like cells are seldom seen on histologic sections of NF but are commonly found in PF, PM and NF with FNAC (fine needle aspiration cytology). Histologically, PM also has ganglion cell-like cells but growth of lesional cells between patches of intact muscle cells with sparing of muscle fibers distinguishes PM from NF. In NF, muscle fibers are obliterated or damaged when the lesions involve the muscle.
The differential diagnosis based on radiologic findings, lesions involving the head and neck, or intradermal lesions are broad.
Nodular fasciitis occurs with a peak incidence in the third and fourth decades, but an age range from infancy to the elderly is reported. There is no male or female predominance and no known associated risk factors.
The cause and pathophysiology of nodular fasciitis are unknown. Ten to 15 percent of cases are associated with trauma but trauma alone cannot account for the development of the lesion. Clonal chromosomal aberrations have been reported in a small number of cases. At this point there is no definitive evidence stating whether NF is a reactive or a self-limiting, neoplastic process.
There are no known systemic disorders associated with nodular fasciitis.
Treatment options for nodular fasciititis are summarized in Table I.
Excisional biopsy results in immediate complete resolution of the lesion. In some cases, complete resolution is seen even after partial excision. Bleeding is the only potential risk with excisional biopsy.
Several studies have shown that an accurate diagnosis of nodular fasciitis can be made with a good clinical history and ctyology from FNAC. These studies have demonstrated spontaneous resolution of NF with a median period of 2 weeks and up to 16 weeks following FNAC. When there is an atypical clinical course, long duration of symptoms, lack of resolution within 4 weeks of diagnosis, or irregular cytologic results with FNAC, excisional biopsy is necessary to rule out other diseases.
The risk of incorrect diagnosis and the existence of a potentially more life-threatening lesion may encourage excisional biopsy over observation alone as the diagnostic and therapeutic modality. While FNAC-based diagnosis is quite recent, histologic diagnosis of NF has been the mainstay since it was first reported.
One case report of a 5-cm, ill-defined, subcutaneous nodule located on the volar aspect of the right forearm of a 37-year-old female was biopsied for diagnosis. Complete excision of the nodule was too difficult based on its size and infiltration into surrounding soft tissue. Conservative therapy with intralesional injection of corticosteroids demonstrated complete resolution of the lesion within 36 hours of follow-up. Other case studies have also shown regression and eventual resolution with the use of intralesional corticosteroid injections.
The recurrence rate for nodular fasciitis is 1-2%. Recurrence is more common in the pediatric population with lesions in the head and neck region. Patients with excisional biopsy with complete resolution and no recurrence require no further follow-up. Patients with excisional biopsy and incomplete resolution should follow-up for observation or, if there is clinical concern, a wider re-excision. Patients with diagnostic FNAC and observation as their choice of treatment can follow-up with their doctor if the lesion has not resolved within 4 weeks of the diagnosis, if it continues to grow, or if it causes increased amount of discomfort. It is possible that the lesion can take longer than 4 weeks to regress.
Seven to 10 percent of lesions are located in the head and neck. Most cases show a benign nature with complete resolution after excisional biopsy. However, one study included a nodule in the prevertebral space of a 2 year-old boy that demonstrated aggressive behavior with jugular fossa destruction, intracranial extension, and related symptoms, including multiple lower cranial nerve palsies. The study did not clarify if wide excisional biopsy was performed and it did not provide information regarding follow-up of this patient.
Given the benign, self-limited nature of the lesion, it is possible that once the diagnosis of nodular fasciitis is made, no further surgical intervention is necessary and it can be observed for regression. In the case of an aggressive lesion, an alternative could be to do a trial of intralesional corticosteroid injections, which demonstrated complete regression of the lesion within 36 hours in one case study.
Allen , PW. “Nodular fasciitis”. Pathology . vol. 4. 1972. pp. 9-26. (This paper is a review of 895 cases of nodular fasciitis that were compiled at the Armed Forces Institute of Pathology (AFIP) from 1957 to 1970. It provides updated information from previously published reports by the AFIP with particular attention to 96 consecutive cases seen from May 1969 to June 1970. It delineates the four most common histological features of nodular fasciitis as well as those less constant. The paper goes into detail about clinical history, gross pathology, histopathology, differential diagnosis, prognosis, and treatment. It concludes with a detailed review of 9 recurrent lesions [~1%.]).

A beaming face greeted me as I entered the packed hall at the reception of the Global Open Water Swimming Conference, with a grin like the Cheshire Cat, Billy Wallace eagerly showed me the photograph he had just been presented with, taken in Belfasts Ormeau Baths in the 1920s, of Mercedes Gleitze after an exhibition swim, where Billys mother had been her attendant and life-guard. As Billy proudly showed this picture to Mercedes daughter, Doloranda Hannah Pember and me, Doloranda shared in the excitement and began to tell us of her mothers’ interesting career.
Dolorandas’ eyes sparkled as she explained how Mercedes had not only pioneered open water swims but also travelled the UK and Ireland doing such exhibitions, displaying her aquatic prowess and her passionate belief that women could be strong and capable, in a time when women’s emancipation was still being fought. She told us how, growing up, she knew little of her mothers’ swimming career but then found a wealth of information carefully stored in the attic after her mothers’ death.
Doloranda was inspired to trawl Mercedes papers and researched as many publications as she could find, to compile a definitive book on her mother. It was captivating to listen to this lively lady describe her mother and to hear first-hand about the woman who blazed a trail in swimming and charitable works.
Paul and I, both having Grandfathers who were open water swimmers, wonder now if perhaps their paths also may have crossed with Mercedes?
Mercedes Gleitze was inducted in the International Marathon Swimming Hall of Fame (www.imshof.org) along with 220 other luminaries and pioneers of the sport of marathon swimming.
Doloranda hopes to publish her book in the near future.

In Ephesians 2:1 the apostle Paul gets right to the point and notes the vanity and hopelessness of a life outside of Christ. In the first three verses of this chapter he makes the point quite convincingly that without Christ we live under the rule of “the prince of the power of the air,” (verse 2) otherwise known as the devil and that is not a good thing!
And then we come to verses 4 and 5: 4 But God, being rich in mercy, because of His great love with which He loved us, 5 even when we were dead in our transgressions, made us alive together with Christ (by grace you have been saved)… In chapter 1 we noted the marvelous grace of God that gives us such encouragement and which gives us the responsibility to live faithfully before Him. Now, we see more of why.
We thank God for His grace because without it, we are utterly hopeless. With it, however, we are raised up with Christ; we have the hope of salvation. What could be more encouraging than that?
The god of this world still beckons, but with him there is only hopelessness. “But God…,” on the other hand, offers a better alternative. He loves you, you know, and so do I.
It feels great to be on the winning team, doesn’t it? To know that you have played, and bested, all the rest is an exhilarating sensation.
Christians have the assurance from Scripture that “We win!” One of the classes I teach is on the book of Revelation and I always point out to my students that when you wade through all the symbolism of that book, the ultimate theme is just that: “We win!” Of course, we take these assurances on faith, but our faith, if strong enough, causes us to be willing to endure what seems like defeat in this life because in the end it will be victory!
In Ephesians 1:22 the apostle Paul notes that God put all things in subjection under [Christ’s] feet… That means that the One to Whom I belong has all the marbles. We win! Jesus Himself said: All authority has been given to Me in heaven and on earth (Matthew 28:18). Again, if we are on His side, we win!!
Have the faith necessary to submit to Him in humble obedience; be part of the winning team! God loves you, you know, and so do I.
Guarantees in life are designed to provide encouragement of one sort or another. In the business world, price guarantees serve to encourage consumers to spend their money without (or with less) worry about what they are investing.
We noted in our last post that we have responsibility here. We thank God for His offer of grace and joyfully accept it on His terms, not ours. These verses tell us that when we do that, we can depend on our Guarantor not to default.
There is great encouragement in this guarantee. Now, since we do not have to worry about His defaulting on us, we must make sure we do not default on Him. I am so thankful that I do not have to worry about His side of this arrangement; mine is hard enough!
The apostle Paul begins Ephesians with an extended praising of God, Who so richly “lavished” (Ephesians 1:8) His grace upon all those who are in Christ. The encouragement here would seem obvious. God’s grace has been applied, meaning our trespasses have been forgiven (Ephesians 1:7); we have been adopted as God’s children (1:5) and have available all spiritual blessings which are in Christ (1:3) because we are in Christ. However, there is more to this passage that we dare not overlook.
It is true that Christians are chosen of God (1:4), but chosen that we would be holy and blameless before Him. That means we have a responsibility here. His choosing of us, and the application of His grace, does not just happen by itself. God offers each of us something we could never deserve or earn, but He offers it at a price. The price we pay does not buy God’s grace (we don’t have enough), but He still requires the price be paid. That humble and insufficient price we pay is ourselves; our whole lives in faithful obedience.
We praise (bless) God for His grace. I hope you know He loves you and that I do, too.
The encouragement I would invite you to note is found in Colossians 2:8: See to it that no one takes you captive through philosophy and empty deception, according to the tradition of men, according to the elementary principles of the world, rather than according to Christ. Did you catch it? By saying, “See to it…” the apostle shows that the power to remain free in Christ resides with us.
The point here is that God has given Christians the power to resist temptation; to resist the influences of our enemy which are so often manifested through the actions of those around us. You and I can “See to it…” that we are not overcome by what the world throws at us each day.
We thank God for His grace and protection and the freedom from fear that comes with them. Remember, He loves you and so do I.
Barnabas Notes have always been about encouragement. Scripture is full of encouraging words that will lift the spirit of the discouraged if we will listen to them. We find passages that tell us of the glory of God, the love and care He has for His people and we find hope to endure the hardships that sometimes assail us in life. We also find encouragement in His strength.
In Hebrews 1:8, the writer quotes the Father’s statement to the Son: Your throne, O God, is forever and ever; a scepter of righteousness is the scepter of Your kingdom.
What an encouragement to know that our Lord is King over an eternal kingdom! We do not have to worry about the endurance of our kingdom; it will never fail (Matthew 16:18). All that is required of us is to be a part of it and, thanks be to God, He has told us in that same Holy Word how to be a citizen in His kingdom. So, are you?
You can have the encouragement that will get you through today and every day. God’s Word tells you how. Remember, He loves you and so do I.
The apostle Paul suffered a great deal in his ministry (read 2 Corinthians 11:22-28 if you don’t think so). Why would he continually put himself in the position of being a target?
A complete study of all that Paul did for the cause of Christ will show quite clearly the hope he had which gave him the strength to endure. One passage strikes me as important for our consideration today. 2 Timothy 2:12 says: For this reason I also suffer these things, but I am not ashamed; for I know whom I have believed and I am convinced that He is able to guard what I have entrusted to Him until that day.
Paul was not ashamed; he wasn’t deterred from doing what needed to be done. It could not have been easy, but he knew (had faith) that what he was doing (and suffering) was not in vain.
You may not consider what you do in life as worthy of comparison to Paul’s life and mission. However, what you do in this life is your offered sacrifice to God. Trust Him and obey Him in faith and do not be ashamed.

“The iPod Photo is living proof that a device can’t serve two masters. The color screen is great, but the iPod can’t really offer a great photo experience with its small screen, recycled music interface, lack of a camera and poor photo-management features. Our advice? Stay focused on music. Keep the color screen–and keep enhancing digital music with iTunes Music Store franchises, podcasts and music subscriptions,” Ted Schadler and Josh Bernoff, Forrester Research Analysts, write for CNET News.
1. The color screen does make the iPod music experience better. Let’s face it: Everything looks better in color. And so does the iPod. Text, navigation and album cover art look great and extremely familiar to those used to working on a PC or Mac. The color screen makes menus more readable, photos displayable and the music experience more delightful.
2. Alas, a color screen by itself does not a great photo experience make. Though the iPod Photo is a fine way to drag a bunch of pictures around to show friends, it’s clear Apple Computer kept the focus on music–not photos. There’s no camera, the screen is tiny, the iTunes synchronization is clunky, the lack of on-the-go photo album creation is annoying, and (for power users) the file structure is tedious. Of course, you can plug the iPod Photo into a television and click through a slide show, but you’re limited to the slide shows already on the device–and you can’t edit them without going back to your computer.
Schadler and Bernoff present five ideas to kick-start things in Cupertino in their full article here.
Where is the MacDailyNews witty comments?
If they’re saying this about the iPod photo, I think we can only imagine what they’re saying about the portable media center devices.
If you’re using the file structure to view/organize pictures, you’re not a power user, you’re an idiot.
Makes sense. I have no interest in an iPod photo except to see the album artwork. I use my iPod for music and only music.
although, priced at $350, it’s like you’re paying $50 for an additional 10Gb of memory and getting color and photo capabilities for free. Even if many don’t use the photo part of the iPod, I think sales are going to be pretty big, at least for the 30Gb version.
Exactly how much is Microsoft paying these guys to dis the iPod experience? Show us a better example boys.
And a (hobby) digital photographer, like myself, can now ’empty’ his camera onto his iPod – that’s a useful bonus; because it’s convenient and you can save money on memory cards for the camera.
But it’s the music that’s still the thing, and Apple should drop the ‘photo’ name.
If you think this is all an iPod Photo was meant to do, are you in for a surprise later this year.
It is said that by using the camera as the media reader you are doing wear and tear on the camera’s life. There was a reason for those dedicated VHS rewinders…they extended the VCR’s life by putting the duty of rewinding to the rewinder rather than the VCR…the rewinder was a bonus if you needed the VCR right away.
I think it will be even better if you can buy ANY card reader and connect it to the iPod it will immediately download the images off the cards.

Portland law enforcement leaders were tightlipped Saturday about the investigation into Friday's attacks that killed two men on a light rail train but a federal official did say it was too early to label the incident a hate crime.
Portland Mayor Ted Wheeler, who had rushed back to Portland from London, held a news conference Saturday afternoon with police officials and community members to address the attacks, which have shaken residents.
"To have one guy stab three other guys in the neck is unbelievable," Portland Police Chief Mike Marshman told The Oregonian/OregonLive.
Three men came to the aid of two teenage girls being harassed by a man police identified as Jeremy Joseph Christian. He was being held on charges of aggravated murder and attempted murder.
Marshman's comments provided the only new details about what happened to the men. Rick Best, 53, died at the scene. Taliesin Myrddin Namkai-Meche, 23, died at the hospital. A third man, 21-year-old Micah David-Cole Fletcher, was hospitalized with non-life-threatening injuries.
Loren Cannon, special agent in charge of the Portland FBI office, also spoke, pledging to work with the Portland Police Bureau.
"It's too early to say whether last night's violence was an act of domestic terrorism or a federal hate crime," he said. "However, in the coming days, the FBI, PPB and the prosecutors will work together to share information, leverage resources and make determinations about future criminal charges."
State and federal prosecutors pledged to hold the man accused of the crimes accountable for his actions, though federal prosecutors are still reviewing whether federal hate crime or civil rights charges will be added to the state aggravated murder, attempted murder and intimidation allegations.
Oregon U.S. Attorney Billy J. Williams pledged, "There's a day of reckoning coming."
The governor, along with Wheeler, Marshman, Multnomah County District Attorney Rod Underhill and others, all met with members of the Muslim community before speaking to the press at the former Southeast Precinct on East Burnside. Marshman applauded Muslim leaders for meeting with law enforcement in the wake of the tragedy.
They praised the heroic actions of the men who stepped in to stop Jeremy Joseph Christian, who is now in custody.
"I implore Oregonian to come together at this time,'' the mayor said.
Leaders of the Muslim community said they were thankful for the men who gave their lives to save the girls from harm. They have raised $50,000 toward a goal of $60,000 to help support the victims and their families.

Compensation has, in many cases, moved beyond annual salaries. Most companies offer a range of deferred compensation options in addition to salary. These options might include cash bonuses, stock options, or even complex stock-based compensation awards that include a range of derivative securities. Such payment methods enable employees to negotiate more lucrative compensation packages while deferring certain taxes. However, section 409A of the tax code restricts deferred income, and companies must take appropriate steps to ensure that when granting deferred compensation, such as stock options, where awards are earned over time, they’re compliant with Section 409A of the Tax Code.
For the past decade, the IRS has leveled increased scrutiny and hefty fines at employers and employees that have failed to properly value their deferred compensation arrangements in accordance with the provisions in 409A. In order to avoid being subject to 409A, employers planning to issue incentives such as stock options and stock appreciation rights (SARs), need to demonstrate that this compensation is issued “at the money.” This means that the strike price, or the price at which employees can buy equity in the company, is equal to the fair market value of the underlying shares at the time they are granted. Incentive compensation structured this way is in compliance with 409A.
Typically, when companies fail to comply with 409A, the breach isn’t intentional. Compliance with 409A is especially tricky for privately held companies and startups that would like to offer stock options to employees. These cases require a 409A valuation. The valuation provides an appraisal of the fair market value of your company’s common stock. While it’s easy to see the daily stock price for public companies, offering private company stock necessitates an independent valuation to determine how much your company’s stock is worth. A 409A valuation determines your strike price, so that this figure is always set at or above market value, satisfying the IRS.
For private companies, a 409A valuation is required by law, and must be completed every 12 months, or possibly more frequently if you’re fundraising. While it’s possible for companies to handle the valuation internally, this is rarely the best path forward. Hiring an independent firm to complete your valuation is the best bet because it’s the only option that offers safe harbor protection. This protection ensures that the burden of proof would be on the IRS, not on you, in the event of an audit.
Non-compliance with 409A can have considerable consequences for your company and your employees. Undervaluing stock options can result in major IRS penalties, as well as lost compensation. Any option holder in violation of 409A will need to pay taxes (including interest) in addition to a 20 percent federal penalty, as well as applicable state and tax underpayment penalties. This is not a recipe for happy employees, nor is it financially viable for employers.
Valuations protect your company and your staff from undo financial consequences. Obtaining regular, defensible valuations is a necessary step for all private companies that wish to incentivize employees through deferred compensation packages.
Navigating Section 409A can prove perilous to companies that overlook this requirement. Thankfully, independent valuation experts that are skilled at these types of appraisals remove those risks, enabling employers to offer robust incentives to their most valued employees with confidence.

Cash home buyers has reduced the stress involved in the process of selling a house. The emergence of the cash home buyers have thus contributed to the reduced use of the realtors because of the limitations. If you want to enjoy peace of mind during the home selling process, you should always choose the cash home buyers. The huge returns in the real estate industry have contributed to the emergence of several cash buyers and thus finding one will not be a challenge. It is advisable to use the cash home buyers because of several important reasons. In this article, you will, therefore, learn some of the reasons why you should consider selling your home to a cash home buyer.
The first benefit that you will enjoy is fast selling. The process of selling a house can last up to several weeks because of the difficulty in finding a suitable buyer and negotiating with the buyer. Furthermore, the existence of several parties such as the real estate agents makes the process lengthy. If you choose the cash home buyers you will not have to worry about delays as the process will be carried out fast. He or she will table an offer immediately the inspection and valuation report is out. The fact that you will take part in the negotiation process will give you the chance to make decisions that will ensure the process goes fast.
The other benefits associated with selling to the cash home buyers is that you will experience zero repair costs. It is usually for homes to get damaged after a long period of residence which will require repairs. Therefore, if you want to sell through listing you will be forced to do the repairs which can be costly. The only way that you can avoid doing the repairs is choosing the cash home buyers who will make an offer regardless of the condition of the house. After the purchase, he or she will do the repairs in preparation for resale.
Also, you should choose the cash home buyers to avoid some of the selling expenses. The process of selling a house usually attract some expenses which can be avoided. The reason why you should try and avoid the expenses is that it will significantly reduce the amount of money that you will get. With the home buyers, you will not incur some of the selling cost such as paying the parties involved.
The last benefit is cash availability. You will, therefore, get the full payment on the closing date that you will choose. It is true to say that cash home buyers are the ideal home buyers in the market today.

Happy Mother’s Day from one Mamma to another.
Becoming a Mamma myself radically changed how I see Mother’s Day. It made me appreciate my own Mum in a whole new way that I didn’t even know was possible. Consequently, it also made the urge for a lie in (8am will do!) and a peace free morning more than ever!
In reality, the below tasks start easy and each one requires a little more effort so choose wisely! I’m heading straight to number five to arrange for a mega one to be created whilst I have a child free house and some time on my hands this morning!
Take a few minutes to wander around your house and actually look and admire your photos on the wall or in frames. In reality, how often do you actually stop and really (I mean really) look at these? Take yourself back to that moment in time and enjoy it. Hell, why not grab a cloth and glass cleaner and give them a quick clean whilst you are there?
Grab a cuppa or a glass of fizz and feel inspired by reading a selection of my Mum Stories or read why I’ve taken a photo every day for over four years. Created to inspire other Mums, these are a great read and if you fancy submitting your own story, get in touch! Being a Mum is super hard and sometimes hearing other people’s stories can be a nice thing to do as we cheer each other on this fabulous but hard journey we are on together.
Take a selfie, with your own kids or Mum. In other words, take a photo with everyone in it! Why not set yourself a new tradition to create a photo on every Mother’s Day going forward? You can grab a few tips on how to make it the best selfie ever or check out my five super quick and easy tips to take a better photo.
Order a new print of your favourite photo for your home. Consequently, it won’t arrive on Mother’s Day but it’s the action of doing it and not putting it off that will make your Mother’s Day. I’ve some useful reading on where to print your photo and which type of frame to use.
Book in for a family session with me. Time passes quickly so don’t put off what you may regret not getting around to. Investing in professional photography can be daunting but I promise, with the Inspired By Joseph experience, unlimited digital images and loads more, it is definitely worth it. No one ever said they wished they had spent the money on something else. Check out the offers section of my Facebook page for further information.
I’d love to know which of the above actions you took on this day reserved for my favourite people, Mum’s! Comment below and let’s see which Mum’s have done something for themselves today!
The Truth: Why are photographers are so expensive?

PANAMA CITY � With the SweetBay development expected to add thousands of homes at the site of the old airport, traffic issues are expected � and dreaded � by many residents.
City officials, however, said that would be an incorrect assumption.
SweetBay, the 704-acre development proposed for the old airport property, eventually will bring 3,200 homes to the northwest corner of the city � which currently has only about four main outlets for traffic. The city anticipates an impact to traffic in the area and will vote on a $3.1 million package, paid by the developer, for �mobility improvements� during the next commission meeting.
Developer St. Andrew Bay Land Co. and the city agreed on $3.1 million to pay for offsite transportation infrastructure investments outlined in the city�s Forest Park Mobility Plan. And, as outlined by the mobility plan, the city could not spend the entirety of the money to widen lanes. Portions would be designated for pedestrian traffic, bicycle traffic and public transportation.
The city also could not collect on the money until SweetBay has created 700 traffic trips following the completion of the 350 homes.
�They�re going to use up all their credits until they start laying out their money to us,� said Neil Fravel, public works director.
Kazunas said much of the traffic in the city is from drivers passing through bottleneck areas of Panama City, and upcoming road development projects will ease the strain. Projects already in the works are a lane widening of State 390 (St. Andrews Boulevard) to six lanes from 23rd Street to State 77, and the Jenks Avenue widening project.
�That gives a lot of capacity for these houses going up there,� Fravel said.
Those projects are already accounted for in the Mobility Plan and would not see money from the SweetBay development, so the $3.1 million would be put toward other mobility projects.
A project on such a massive scale as the State 390 widening project is difficult to predict, officials said. But the Jenks project, costing the city $5.1 million, is controlled by the city with Bay County kicking in $500,000. The estimated end date is at least three years away.
More than 100 homes would have to be built each year to meet St. Andrew Bay Land Co.�s goal of completion in 30 years. With an initial grace period to build infrastructure, the timelines for the completion of the Jenks project and reaching the 350 home mark seem to line up.
Phase I of the project is on 66 acres at the northern end of Lisenby Avenue, where the Panama City-Bay County International Airport was located before it moved to the West Bay area. Academy Park will consist of 274 homes before developers move on to Phase II.
Fravel said there are rumbles about much more ambitious DOT projects. However, the projects are only in the surveying stages. A Gulf Coast Parkway project is in the works, routing a highway from near the Bay-Walton County line that would bypass the airport and connectto U.S. 231, and a highway circumventing Panama City from Mexico Beach to U.S. 231 is also under consideration.
�Those kind of projects will take a lot of that traffic that is forced to go through Panama City and bypass the city,� Fravel said.

Imitating authors seems quite the fashion at present. Unlike Sebastian Faulks, I haven’t the nerve to attempt Wodehouse, but I once attempted a piece in the style of the great satirist Jane Austen. As discussed previously, Austen is an author beloved by many Wodehouse fans so I’d like to share my little effort with you. It’s not Wodehouse, I know, but we’re not sticklers at Plumtopia. This is Liberty Hall!
Every Michaelmas, for some fifteen years past, Mrs Harper and her daughters were invited to visit her uncle, the Rev. James Archer, at Sandford Parsonage in Devonshire. James Archer was, like many elderly widowers, fond of children, and each year he entreated them to extend their visit for as long as Mr Harper could spare them. Mr Harper, having no similar inclination toward the company of his children, readily obliged – to the satisfaction of all, and the great relief of his wife.
Mrs Harper had not been married a twelvemonth before she discovered that the man, with whom she once fancied herself in love, was singularly fixed upon prosperity and disinclined to regard her after securing her twelve thousand pounds. Had they settled among her acquaintance in Devonshire, Louisa Harper might have borne her situation tolerably, but her husband’s partiality for Shropshire – and the society of his own relations – only increased her discontent, and for many years, her children afforded her only happiness.
But the severity of that wretchedness which so afflicted a delicate wife of nineteen, was, in time, reduced to nothing more pitiable than common dissatisfaction. George Harper was prudent with his wife’s money and, on the advice of a trusted friend, made so fortunate an investment as to double their income within six years. This improvement in situation saw the Harpers most admirably regarded by all their acquaintance; they had a fine house, kept the appropriate number of servants, and though Mr Harper did not care for a barouche, they dined in the first circles; thus, for his shortcomings as a husband, he agreeably consoled his wife.
I was delighted with your account of Sophia Hall’s wedding, and I hope we shall soon have the pleasure of wishing them joy in person – for I write to tell you George has conceded to my wish of visiting Sandford once more. It should not surprise you that I am anxious to see Devonshire again and I am sure you must understand my preference for your company over the society in which I find myself. I know Margaret and Emily long to see you, for you are a great favourite with them as you know. Emily has grown so tall since we last stopped at Sandford that you will hardly know her. We can easily make our visit at Michaelmas, but it would give us so much pleasure if you might agree to have us sooner.
The letter, so artfully composed, brought upon its reader such fond sentiments as had been its design, but it was a note enclosed from Miss Harper that produced the tenderest regard.
You did not tell us in your letter of Mrs Hall’s hat or whether the dresses were silk or muslin. If you did not notice, please ask Miss Gregson to give you the particulars for I would be monstrous glad to know. But do not trouble yourself too much as Mamma says we shall see you soon.
The arrival of Mrs Harper and her daughters before September would cause some little inconvenience to her uncle, who was also expecting a visit from his son, Edward; the parsonage could not accommodate so many, and James Archer spent a week deciding which party to put off. Edward seldom visited his father above twice a year, and James Archer had at that particular time, a most anxious desire to discuss with him a matter of some delicacy. But his good conscience could not permit his unhappy niece and her daughters turned away, and thus, he bid Mrs Harper to visit the parsonage when she chose.
With all the true affection of an uncle, James Archer looked forward to their visit, although by nature, he was disposed to prefer solitude. Even in youth, he had not entered much into society and, as a consequence, had remained unmarried until late in life. His eventual marriage, at the age of forty-two, to Miss Isabelle Thurston of Sussex, greatly astonished his acquaintance. Miss Thurston was remarkable neither by appearance nor accomplishment; her manners were regarded dull. But she had a legacy of fifteen thousand pounds to recommend her, and on this score alone, Mr Archer, whose living was less than tw0 hundred a year, could hardly be regarded her equal.
Miss Thurston’s own relations, most particularly her brother, Sir John Thurston, were not so displeased with the match as might be imagined; for her sickly appearance and nervous disposition had given them such apprehension of her, at nine-and-twenty, ever forming an attachment. Any anxiety, on Sir John’s account, was quickly allayed on his being assured of Mr Archer’s good character and connections. Had either side enquired as to the particulars of their mutual regard, they would have been well satisfied, but as neither did, they did not discover it.
Unlike his poor niece, James Archer enjoyed the felicity of a marriage of similar minds and temperament; the Archer’s were suited in every respect, and shared a tender regard so advantageous to matrimonial contentment. But after the arrival of a son, not two years later, Isabelle Archer took ill and died. Her husband, who had scarcely the spirit to endure his own grief, was unequal to the care of a child, so Edward was removed to the custody of his maternal Uncle, Sir John Thurston, and raised at Marshwood Hall with every advantage that a family of the Thurstons’ wealth and connections could provide him.
The Rev. James Archer lived so modestly within his income that, when young Edward was not ten years old, he could settle a sum of twenty thousand on the child. Though it was not his design, the gesture affected Sir John and Lady Thurston profoundly, securing him forever in their good-opinion, and Lady Thurston herself dispatched an invitation to the parsonage. Any unease on James Archer’s part, of accepting the offer, was overcome only by an earnest desire to see his son, and he made his first visit to Marshwood within a fortnight. Sir John and Lady Thurston were so well satisfied with the father, that they entreated him to visit Marshwood often; thus, James Archer was afforded that attachment, so natural between father and son, he had thought given up forever.
Wow…..very Jane Austen-ish! How about continuing along such lines?
Thanks again for being so kind. This was terrific fun. I’m not sure I could keep it up for a whole novel, but it would be interesting to try a bit more.
A good attempt and a nice little story!
Or how about trying your hand at a different genre – do a satirical take on Red Riding Hood that’s still suitable for children.
Keep at it – it’s all good training!
Thanks Victoria. I’m buoyed by your encouragement . I don’t think being an Austen imitator is going to work for me, but it was an interesting exercise.
The introduction is in Dutch, because the audience is Dutch, and I’m Dutch, but the letter is in English.
This is terrific. Thank you so much for sending that link.

Startlingly positive results from a clinical trial of Abbott’s MitraClip heart valve device reportedly drew applause at the annual Transcatheter Cardiovascular Therapeutics meeting in San Diego yesterday.
Abbott (NYSE:ABT) acquired MitraClip in the $410 million acquisition of Evalve back in 2009. The device, which is designed to reshape the mitral valve to prevent blood from flowing backwards through the valve, won its first FDA nod in 2013.
Yesterday results from a study of the device in heart failure patients with functional mitral regurgitation showed sharp reductions in hospitalization and mortality rates in the MitraClip arm.
The trial’s 614 patients were randomized to either MitraClip plus medical therapy or medical therapy alone. Of the 302 patients in the MitraClip arm, the annual hospitalization rate at two years was 35.8%, compared with 67.9% for the control arm, a -47.2% reduction. The annual mortality rate at two years was -36.9% lower for the MitraClip arm at 29.1%, according to the study, which was also published in the New England Journal of Medicine. There was a 96.6% rate of freedom from device-related complications after a year, according to the study.
Stone’s presentation at TCT 2018 drew two separate rounds of applause and an emotional reaction from him, according to theheart.org | Medscape Cardiology.
Abbott said it plans to pursue a new labeling indication from the FDA for functional mitral regurgitation, backed by the COAPT data.
The positive trial results sent ABT shares up 3.4% to $71.40 apiece today in pre-market trading.

The Proximity Beacon API’s administration endpoints are authenticated, and manipulation of beacon objects are restricted to authorized parties. Such manipulation might include registering new beacons or adding attachments in your project’s namespace. Additionally, you can share your beacon network with another developer to allow them to add their own attachments to your beacons in their own namespace.
There are several methods for authorizing users to administer your beacon data. These allow you to control which personnel may manage your deployments, or you can use them to collaborate with other developers as your network grows.
Note: The serving methods (such as getForObserved) are unauthenticated. Access is granted at the project level, not the end-user level, using the client API key.
There are several scenarios where it makes sense to allow certain end users to perform certain actions using the administration endpoints. For example, Beacons may be deployed by users who should not be able to access other project resources (for example, creating new App Engine instances). Or the owner of a venue may wish to allow other developers to add attachments to beacons in the venue.
Proximity Beacon API uses a set of roles defined under the Google Cloud Platform Identity and Access Management (IAM) system to enable you to set up users with the correct permissions to carry out these tasks. You can set roles under IAM & Admin in the Google Developers Console.
BeaconEditor B can register new beacons in A’s project, including setting description, place and location information, beacon properties. B can view and alter beacons already registered in A’s project.
AttachmentEditor B can create attachments in A’s namespace on beacons in A’s project.
AttachmentPublisher B can create attachments in B’s namespace on A’s beacons. A cannot use or alter B’s attachments. B’s attachments are removed in case A decommissions the beacon they’re associated with.
Some clients use the API to manage beacons for multiple projects. To accommodate this, the Proximity Beacon API allows you to specify the project id in your requests. If a project ID is not specified, the API infers the project from the request's OAuth credentials.

A higher education technology leader offers his take on three transformative themes that will dominate in colleges and universities for 2018.
United States higher education is struggling to move into the 21st century digital era, according to Dr. Samuel Conn, president and chief executive officer for nonprofit technology consortium NJEdge. Holding back the segment, he said, are legacy processes and "last-century" thinking, which can no longer meet the demands of students who are more digitally savvy than their instructors — not to mention the growing competition coming from global institutions that are attracting those same students.
What institutional leaders need, Conn noted, is "re-energizing." Only then will they have the spark and inspiration needed to undertake the change they wish to see in their organizations. Enterprise transformation is the major theme of this year's NJEdge Annual Conference, taking place Jan. 11-12 in Whippany, NJ. Although the organization and its event are situated in New Jersey, its products and services have stretched far beyond state borders, and even outside of higher ed.
NJEdge was founded in 2000 to deliver access through EdgeNet, a high-performance optical fiber network spanning the state's colleges and universities. Since then, the organization has added additional solutions: EdgeCloud (for co-location and platform-as-a-service), EdgeMarket (for consortium buying), EdgeSecure (for security coverage), EdgePro (for professional services), EdgeMedia (for digital asset management and cloud-based videoconferencing) and EdgeEvents (for professional development activities).
Along the way, new kinds of members have joined, including K-12 districts, local government agencies and healthcare providers. And that EdgeMedia media management system, Illumira, which Conn calls "a YouTube on steroids," has been adopted by schools outside of the state, including higher ed customers in Michigan, Maryland, New York, Virginia and Connecticut.
NJEdgeCon 2018 takes place Jan. 11-12. Learn more on the NJEdge website.
The annual conference reflects that diversity. Although there's a heavy emphasis on the subjects higher ed will care about, since that's the major type of member NJEdge has, the two-day event will also offer coverage of topics of interest for leaders seeking to remake their organizations to reflect current trends in digitalization.
In a recent interview, Conn offered his take on three themes colleges and universities can expect to pay more attention to in the coming year as starters for kicking their transformation efforts into high gear.
Predictive modeling using business intelligence applications should be a big deal to schools, said Conn. Forget about the buildings, faculty and other aspects that campuses have "historically prided themselves on," he asserted. "Institutions are really starting to understand that data is one of their primary assets, that the data is what's telling the story."
NJEdge isn't new to the data realm. The company is part of New Jersey's Big Data Alliance, an initiative formed by legislative action and run from Rutgers University, with a membership that includes academia, industry, nonprofits and government. NJEdge provides the transport mechanism for big data initiatives and, in particular, for research. "The composition of research environments is all about three things," Conn said: "Networks that can transport data at very high speeds, storage and high-performance computing." Those same components are being picked up to power other kinds of data analysis as well.
He noted that many schools have found that they have business processes working counter-intuitively or that they should be tracking data points that nobody had ever considered important before. As an example, he offered point-of-sale data from cafeteria operations. "Nobody ever thought that would be a leading indicator of anything. But as it turns out, the combinatorial factors of certain data points allow you to accurately predict when students are going to drop out, almost with certainty. As it turns out, students who are not doing well in school, with a poor GPA or other factors, quit eating. They stay in their dorms, because they dread [the idea] of going home to tell the parents that they're flunking out of school."
Social media efforts and data also work hand-in-hand, he added. "Every time a student likes something, has a thumbs up [or] a thumbs down, that's a data point." To help schools accelerate their data analysis muscles, NJEdge is teaming up with companies such as Washington, D.C.-based Full Measure Education and Montreal's OOHLALA, which offers customized campus mobile apps.
The goal: "to allow institutions to understand how to form intervention strategies and apply them at the right point in time, for student success, to lower attrition, and also to make data-informed decisions about student populations that they're after," Conn said. Those smart uses of data and analytics, he added, can help schools avoid blunders like misplaced recruitment efforts, where students may respond (and register) in droves but end up "dropping out early and leaving high debt balances."
While networking and data security are evergreen topics in higher ed, suggested Conn ("Nobody wants to be on the front page of the Chronicle or have a data breach"), the Internet of Things is aggravating concerns. "More and more devices are connecting, so there's more opportunity and new ways ... for bad things to happen," he said.
NJEdge deals primarily on the wide-area network side. By being part of a "closed network," Conn explained, members of the organization don't have to worry about denial-of-service attacks. Mitigation is provided "upstream," so the DDOS attacks potentially never reach institutional firewalls or routers.
However, Conn added, the concept of hybrid cloud computing, in which schools are moving more activities out of their own data centers and into the cloud, is "starting to blur the lines between WANs and LANs." Campuses are redefining the edge of their networks to pull them inward, and concluding that they "don't have to be responsible for managing the routers or firewalls," he said.
As a result, more of NJEdge's members are choosing to outsource security and management of edge routing into networks, Conn said. Much of that decision-making is being driven by cost and a lack of resources. "Many institutions don’t have the budget for a chief information security officer, and NJEdge has one that we 'timeshare,' where if you can't afford a $200,000-a-year position, you might be able to afford enough of that if it were split among 10 other institutions."
An example of how that might be used is in the case of vulnerability scans and security assessments performed by third-party software but managed by NJEdge. Once the institution has the assessment in hand, the school could tap a virtual CISO service, such as the one provided by NJEdge, to help develop a plan for mitigating the risk identified in those scans.
Conn believes we've entered the third generation of digital online instructional design. The first wave was characterized by text-based design in the learning management system, which was intended to enable fully online and hybrid courses to emulate classroom activities. For instance, the discussion forum gave people a way to talk as if they were in a classroom, but asynchronously and based in text. "You had to read something and write something," he said.
However, he asserted, that approach to instructional design didn't serve all students, which led to the second generation of instructional design. For example, "In the non-traditional market, where you have people in their 30s and 40s who were coming back to school for their degree completion, reading comprehension skills were not so good, because they had been out of school for a long time. They had very low persistence rates and high attrition rates in these courses that were predominantly text-based — just because it was too arduous for many people to endure." Instructional designers responded by developing digital learning objects — short videos on a given topic — around which learning activities were built.
Now, institutions are moving into third-generation deign: the personalization of education. In this wave adaptive learning dominates, Conn said. Through artificial intelligence, education applications are "learning how you are learning and then adapting the pace and the course of what you're learning to personalize it."
Picking up and running with these education movements won't be easy, Conn acknowledged. "Everybody wants to transform," he laughed, "but nobody wants to change." A good starting point for executing on a plan of change is to "relieve some of the complexity" of operations, by outsourcing call centers, the help desk and self-service initiatives, he suggested. Doing so will leave room in the day for overhauling business processes and technologies related to the primary mission: getting students in and helping them graduate with useful knowledge and skills.
Digital leadership ultimately calls for institutional people to evolve their "thinking, so they start to see things from the customer experience," Conn said. That kind of realignment in perspective is vital for understanding how the entire ecosystem supports the student lifecycle — "from the first time a student hears about the institution to the moment they graduate and start writing alumni checks."

We have been following the GM ignition switch lawsuit for a while now and we’ve reached a big development. As General Motors has come under fire for their failure to deal with a faulty ignition switch in many of their vehicles, some allegedly being the root of some accidents, this week a U.S. jury found General Motors ignition switch indeed defective, but the cause of a 2014 car accident in which two plaintiffs said they were injured. This was only the verdict in a two-week trial in Manhattan federal court and it was the first of many involving an accident blamed on GM’s faulty switch.
So what happened? Well, the jury decided that the plaintiff’s vehicle, a Saturn Sky, was too dangerous to drive due of its defective switch, but they found no evidence accident was actually caused by ignition failure. Instead they decided it was due to poor road conditions such as ice.
It’s not a complete victory for GM, however, since this is only one of six so-called trials being conducted against G.M., and this issue affects about 2.6 million vehicles equipped with ignition switches that could potentially cut engine power and disable airbags. Each of the cases are consolidated in New York for the with one being dismissed outright in January because due to a misleading testimony from the plaintiff. Reasonable doubt was found in this instance since evidence uncovered pointed to severe weather as the cause for the accident.
This has helped make the case for GM since it could potentially clear them of some of the 235 injury and wrongful death cases that are currently pending in state and federal courts against them. The next case they are scheduled to go to trial is scheduled for this May.
Overall, the litigation in these cases is a big part of GM’s efforts to move past one of the worst safety crisis in their company’s history. Two years ago, GM admitted that they failed for a decade to fix millions of small cars with faulty ignition switches. It was made public that 15 employees were fired, their engineering operations and department went under a big overhaul and more than 30 million vehicles were recalled.
In the time since, GM has paid over $600 million in to settle 399 ignition-switch claims, including 124 death cases. Meanwhile, they also announced a settlement of $275 million in damages for 1,385 death and injury cases, with a $300 million payment to settle a class-action suit by GM shareholders.
Last year alone the automaker settled on paying $900 million after the criminal investigation conducted by the Justice Department. This was on top of the fines imposed by the Transportation Department. GM now also has to deal with long-term monitoring of its safety practices by government regulators. One of the regulators is the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, which initially failed to act on reports of accidents involving GM vehicles equipped with the faulty ignition switches.
Will GM ever be able to move past this incident? Time will tell. However this court victory does leave that within the realm of possibility.

I don't mind doing group buys on things I don't manufacture. QTY is someone elses problem!
If I was in FMs shoes I wouldn't do it either...what are you thinking? Seriously.
To get a groupbuy with a reputabe company, you must show earnest. If you call me up and ask me to do a groupbuy as a favor to you, I will laugh at you (providing I was a shop and as busy as FM). Just ask for a discount, you'll have better luck.
Call up and say you have 10-20-30 or however many people ready to buy and ANYBODY is willing to deal.
I have dealt with FM, they are not hard to work with, i was very pleased with the outcome of my transactions.
We have a stage 2 in an 01 with roughly 250whp and it is flawless. I am only bummed about having an ACT disc come with it.
I did it in the proper manner. I called them/emailed them. They give you an option to sugggest a produict on there site. And also I don't think the right way is to get ppl intrested until you get approval from the vendor first to make sure they would even do it for you.
I passed the FM clutch group buy as I didn't have the cash either. If they had another one right now, there would be a FM Level 2 on order by me. I think when they had their group buy their Level 2 clutch was the Level 2 pressure plate with the ACT Xtreme disc.

Is anyone hyped for the third season? And here I thought we’d make it completely through the finals so the next instalment could completely focus on the national competition. But this is a sports anime! It needs to milk every step of the way up for its viewers’ agony. In my opinion, this season took everything good in the first season and added drugs to it.
OMG, every single qualification match had me on the edge of my seat. The ball kept flying from one side to another, and you never knew when it would hit the ground. Watching this show is bad for my heart and lungs. The amount of cheering and screaming I did through this season was crazy.
The season was all about getting stronger as individuals and as a team for Karasuno and getting revenge for that bitter loss in the first season. The show did an amazing job of addressing the team’s many weaknesses of inadequacy, jealousy, and fear and made each member deal with their actions. This show did a great job of delivering anything it promised audience at the beginning while keeping us entertained all the way through the matches.
< Previous My Experience Living in Japan – The Sun and its Dark Side.
Next > Introducing: Game Corner!
Great idea. thanks for the likes.
Have you watched the new season yet?? I hope you enjoyed it! I seriously think they’ll keep us on the edge of our seats throughout this season as well! Definitely stoked to get to know our new characters!
I still haven’t caused I still have a backlog from last season. My real life has caught up me to my annoyance. I will watch it as soon as I can and hopefully get a review out.
It’s so damn nice anime.

Check out this raichu papercraft toy by Paperpokes. You can make it yourself using free template provided by them.
Looking at this raichu papercraft will make you think that it's complicated. Well, assembling it is quite difficult. For short, it's on a new level of crafting. Especially when you need to grab a software to open the template then print it out from it. There is no tutorial to guide you too. Fortunately the software is free with just a small size of file to download. And about raichu, I think most of pokemon / pikachu fans know it. It's actually an advance or evolve version of pikachu, right?
I remember posting a post on money box papercraft with football shape during last FIFA world cup season which is worth checking out. While for girls, here is a cute animal shape money box for your collection. It's koala bear by Ryo Tokisato. You can either use it t save your money or just for decoration. And I know certain someone who will like this because she just loves koala bear. Though I personally think the money and panda are much cuter. Unfortunately, no free template for them.
Have you ever played harvest moon? Hmm. It's a popular farm story, life simulation, role playing game produced for GBA, Nintendo, Play Station and others. You play a boy / girl character who will try to run a farm, from breeding to planting, selling crops and even get a chance to woo girls that you like and finally get married and have a family. It's fun, guaranteed. So today i will present you something related to it. It's a cow paper model and toy from Harvest Moon game series. Free printable template by KeiCraft.
This really fits the world cup season because it's actually a football shape money box by Canon Creative Park.

Our current era of independent filmmaking/exhibition/distribution has introduced alternate methods of delivery for the new media content creator. That is to say, the new indie filmmaker has to tell a story with much more frequency, sometimes over longer periods of time. Before, a filmmaker would just make the film and then hope the finished product connects with some sort of audience for fiscal gain (ticket sales, studio deals, yada, yada, yada). But Web 2.0 and the social media revolution have (thankfully) lifted Oz's curtain. Therefore, a revived need for (daily) content has really put filmmakers on the spot. The good news is, is that filmmakers have more power in actually choosing their audience than ever before. The bad news is that this daily content (an active Twitter feed, updated YouTube channels, blogs, etc.) is often free content and therefore returns no immediate revenue for the artist. But don't fret.
"Throughout history there have been connections between oppositional art movements and reduced resources. There have been artists for whom a rhetoric of poverty — or, perhaps more accurately, a rejection of the conventions associated with making art in more accepted (and usually more expensive) ways — has enabled empowering forms of self-definition."
Thus, we find ourselves in a culture of "free content." The slogan has shifted from "Content is king" to "Free content is king." This is who we are. This is what we have to work with. Think about that.
This free content, again, has value for you the artist because it is defining who you are. And after you have developed your online voice--your online presence, your industry significance!--you can then identify your true audience. Audiences gravitate towards points of interest and the more clear, prominent (and I believe "distinct") you are as an independent filmmaker, the easier it will be to pinpoint your group of followers and provide them a direct feed. Think of the audience's points of interests as eventual points of purchase for the filmmaker. Sooner or later, these loyal fans will be there to help kickstart that passion of project of yours or will even be there to pay for a download your completed film project. They'll be there and they'll support because they will care about your work. Because you showed them your passion and perseverance.
Right now, a lot of indie filmmakers are doing a good job of presenting themselves online (active social media pages, articles in the press) but what is needed next is something I like to call "Social Filmmaking." I believe social filmmaking could be a force to be reckoned with. Imagine how specific and unique future pieces of film will be with artists deeply connected to their audiences. Much more intimate projects. A cinematic rhetoric between artist and audience that is so dynamic, no two films will ever be alike.
Basically, as "starving" artists we need to keep reinventing ourselves, our industry. Maybe by developing more intertwined relationships with our core audiences, we can elevate our content and thus engage each other to produce more valid pieces of work. Flight of fancy? Maybe. A more productive state of mind than sulking over not being financed by Hollywood? Definitely.
"We've spent the last hundred-plus years with a strict delineation between author and audience--you read a book, you watch a movie, and that's it. You're a consumer. We came to think of this as the natural order of things, but in fact it was just a function of the limitations of our technology. Mass media, which is the only media we've ever known until now, had no mechanism for participation and only very limited, after-the-fact mechanisms for feedback. But there was nothing natural about that [...] Before culture became a consumable, it was something people shared. The problem is, that was so long ago we've forgotten how to do it."
Let's share our stories with more viewers, by actually targeting our REAL viewers. But first thing is first: Go out there and cast your audience. Make sure they're perfect for the part.

How do I allow editing of an embedded google doc?
I've successfully embedded a google doc using this addon but it is in read only mode.
I can edit it fine if I follow the link but that's a bit of hassle.
There is a pop-out option on the viewer to go to the Google Doc to edit it. That is the only method to edit, there's no in-place edit available.

JD and his family moved to a different town in the same state, but T-Mobile didn’t have great reception in their new home. They had only one bar of service, but T-Mobile customer service staff assured the family that the service would get better. It didn’t. When his wife’s phone broke, they upgraded her phone and his son’s phone after assurances from the salesperson that having new, advanced smartphones would improve their reception. They did not. What the family would really like now, a year later, is to quit their T-Mobile contract and get on with their lives. That’s not an option without an early termination fee.
From 2007 to 2009, my family and I lived in [Town 1], MD. The T-Mobile service was OK.
In 2009, we moved to [Town 2], MD and discovered that T-Mobile’s signal was very weak (1 bar only).
I immediately called the 611 support number and T-Mobile assured me that the signal in my area would be improved within a short time.
In December, 2011 my wife’s phone (which we had purchased in 2009 from T-Mobile’s store in [Town 1]) broke down. We went to the closest T-Mobile store to our home in [Town 2], at [redacted] Mall. The salesperson said that, with recent smart phones, we would get a better signal.
However, as soon as we tried the new phones, we realized that the quality of the signal in our area had not improved at all! I called again 611 to ask for a signal amplification device. I was told that this was not possible and that we would have to use our phones through Wi-Fi while inside our home.
So we set up the phones to switch automatically from T-Mobile’s network to Wi-Fi. Alas, this does not work either, probably because the switching process isn’t fast enough.
Zero or one bar signal on the phone network.
As a result, many incoming calls don’t ring on the phones and get diverted directly to voice mail.
No 4G signal available in this area.
It will not be an easy decision to cancel our contract with T-Mobile. However, considering the explanations above, the logical conclusion for us is to look for an operator offering a signal of an appropriate quality in our area.
Today I called T-Mobile’s Loyalty Department to discuss this. The answer was: “You signed a contract; you will have to pay $200 ETF per line”. This kind of answer just isn’t acceptable.
The only reason for choosing an early termination of our contract with T-Mobile is a lack of satisfactory coverage. Considering that we cannot afford anymore to pay for a service we don’t get, I kindly request T-Mobile to waive the early termination fee (ETF) at the time we terminate our contract with them.
The family held up their end of the contract and paid their bill: why can’t T-Mobile hold up theirs and either provide service or let them go?
We recommend that they take their case to a higher authority. T-Mobile seems especially receptive to executive e-mail carpet bombs: start there.

For the past several years, our church has set aside 21 days for prayer and fasting leading up to Easter. Some people do the Daniel fast while others do a complete fast.
During this time, we seek God, pray big prayers, pray for people to come to Christ and ask God for breakthroughs for ourselves and others. We've seen God some amazing things during those 21 days.
Rarely do you hear children being taught about fasting much less encouraged to participate in it. But we believe it's important to teach children about this spiritual discipline and how to seek God in a fresh, new way during a fast.
We believe God wants to work in the hearts of kids through prayer and fasting just like He does for adults. And we've found that kids will respond and grow spiritually when we teach them and give them opportunity to participate. If kids are going to be lifelong followers of Jesus, they must experience Him in a real and personal way. A time of prayer and fasting is a great way for kids to encounter Jesus' presence.
We also believe that when a child fasts, it should come under the guidance and direction of his or her parents. Our strategy is to explain to the kids what fasting is and then give their parents tools to continue the conversation and offer their kids options for fasting.
For kids, fasting from all food is obviously not encouraged, but kids can fast from certain kinds of food such as ice cream, candy and other favorites. Other ways for kids to fast can include video games, TV, iPads, etc.
Below are two testimonies of kids who are participating in the fast as well as the handout we give to parents.
I couldn't agree more! We have led our kids at Family Church for over 3 years in fasting and praying 21 days in January as our church as a whole seeks for vision and clarity in the new year. Parents have come up to us and thanked us for the things their kids are learning as they seek God!
That's awesome Kevin. Love to see any materials, handouts or communication pieces you use for this.
This is awesome. We do 21 days of prayer and fasting at our church the first of the year. I was just googling to see what other resources were out there and came across this blog. Love the kids stories!
Great to hear from you Helen. Blessings.
HI Sharell. I no longer have access to the videos.

“Dr. Steven Hayne, the man who performed most of Mississippi’s autopsies for 20 years, has filed a defamation lawsuit against The Innocence Project.” (Howard Ballou, WLBT, Oct. 30).
Hayne has been criticized because he said he conducted about 1,500 autopsies a year, much higher than the recommended standard [of fewer than 250 — ed.].
His testimony in two murder cases from Noxubee County turned out to be inaccurate and both men convicted in those cases were released from prison earlier this year.
One of the men had spent 15 years on Death Row for a crime he didn’t commit.
A third man has confessed to both slayings.
(“Investigation changes are needed”, Hattiesburg American, Oct. 22). As part of its campaign against Hayne, the Innocence Project sent more than 1,000 pages of material documenting its complaints to the Mississippi state medical licensure board and also denounced him to the national College of American Pathologists. (Jerry Mitchell, “Embattled doc suing Innocence Project”, Jackson Clarion-Ledger, Oct. 31). Radley Balko at Reason has been a longtime critic of Hayne (“Hit and Run”, Nov. 7), as has Lotus @ Folo. On Jun. 6, we reported on charges that Dr. Hayne’s forensic work has been of extensive assistance to plaintiff’s lawyers in Mississippi liability suits.
