Spats is sneaky, clever, and cunning and will do whatever it takes to start an argument. He loves to cause a ruckus and provoke a fight or quarrel. He is also a good actor and does a great job of faking being innocent and cute to get what he wants or to trick people.
Physical appearance
Spats is a yellow squirrel/cat-like experiment with two short antennae above his eyes, black-violet eyes, a small red-orange round nose, a wide mouth with sharp catlike fangs and a green tongue, and two prongs on the tip of his long bushy tail (seen when fully outstretched). He has orange spots on his forehead, a white belly, and orange markings on his back.
Powers and abilities
Spats can fire a yellow ray from the prongs on the tip of his tail that causes any two individuals zapped to constantly argue with each other. The sound of a bell is heard when this happens.
Lilo & Stitch: The Series
Experiment 397 was the 397th genetic experiment created by Jumba with Hämsterviel's funding. He was designed to cause any pair zapped to constantly fight with each other. 397 and the other first 624 experiments were deactivated and smuggled to Earth by Jumba during his mission to capture Experiment 626.
All of the experiment pods were released and scattered across the island of Kauai, with 397's pod landing in the window of Jumba's ship.
When the Proud Family arrives in Kauai for a vacation, Lilo, Stitch, Jumba and Pleakley invite them to stay at their makeshift hotel called "Jumba & Pleakley's Bed & Not Breakfast." Penny Proud gets more acquainted with Lilo and Stitch, while Oscar Proud complains about the hotel's accommodations. Later, Suga Mama soaks herself in a hot tub, while her dog Puff sleeps on a throw rug.
Meanwhile, a squirrel appears inside one of the windows of Jumba's ship and notices 397's experiment pod. The squirrel mistakes the pod for a nut and attempts to eat it. When it finds out it could not eat the pod, the squirrel throws it into a bowl of bath bombs. Shortly after, Suga Mama reaches for a bath bomb, but takes out 397's pod instead. Mistaking the experiment pod for a bath bomb, Suga Mama drops the pod into the bathtub, activating 397, named Spats. He then zaps the squirrel and Puff, causing the two animals to fight.
Spats later causes more mischief around town by zapping numerous pairs who end up fighting. His victims include Oscar and Trudy Proud, BeBe and CeCe, Jumba and Mr. Cooper, Lilo and Penny, Gantu and Suga Mama, and a newlywed couple. Stitch and Pleakley remain the only individuals to not be zapped by Spats' argument ray.
Meanwhile, Stitch notices Spats being pursued by Gantu. However, he manages to evade both Gantu and Stitch, and eventually hitches a ride in the back of a jeep that Pleakley is driving. Spats then teases Stitch when the latter is unable to catch up with him. After making a vain attempt to break up Penny and Lilo's conflict, Stitch chases after Spats and forcibly takes the squabbling girls with him.
Later, Stitch manages to track Spats down to an outdoor wrestling match, where the two then face off against each other on the roof of the arena. After a long battle between both experiments, Spats falls off the roof and into Penny's arms. She is angered by his presence at first, but after noticing Spats' cuteness, she starts to soften up. When Penny tries to talk to Lilo, the latter still wants to fight with her. Fortunately, Penny manages to resist her urge to fight by counting to ten and then convinces Lilo to do the same, which she does.
After Lilo and Penny make up, the former relieves the other brawling individuals by telling everyone through an overhead microphone to count to ten after Gantu, who had been wrestling with Suga Mama the whole time, went down for the count. Spats is then saved from Gantu, who has been after the experiment all this time and tried to take him away from Penny at one point.
The next day, Lilo and Stitch find Spats his one true place with Wizard Kelly. He uses Spats to make his international wrestlers fight more convincingly. Penny mentions to Lilo about having a perfect newspaper article for her school, and she, along with the rest of the Proud Family, leave on good terms.
Leroy & Stitch
The first 624 experiments, including Spats, were rounded up by Leroy and taken to a stadium to be destroyed. However, Lilo, Stitch, Jumba, Pleakley, Reuben and Gantu arrived before the experiments could be destroyed.
Spats participated in the following battle between the experiments and the Leroy clones probably by making Leroy fight each other.
However, the Leroys soon gained the upper hand in the battle but were defeated when Lilo, Stitch, Reuben and several other experiments performed the song "Aloha ʻOe", which caused the Leroy army to shut down due to the original Leroy's fail-safe.
- Stitch and Pleakley are the only main characters to not get zapped by Spats.
- Spats' pod color is yellow.
- The Experiment Pod Container describes Spats as: "Experiment 397. Primary function: Argument instigator."

Charles wanted to show that anyone could recreate glamorous hairstyles full of volume, so he created the Charles Worthington Salon at Home BAFTA Edition Volume & Bounce Thick & Full 3D Boosting Crème. Scroll down to the video to find out how to apply the crème and get red-carpet worthy hair.

Avocado Fruit: The Secret Of Successful Weight Loss
Chances are, you want to lose weight. Many people in the modern world are in a constant state of diet, working out, losing weight and then gaining it back.
It can start to feel like this hellish circle of health and carbs that you can't seem to get out of, but you don't have to stress any longer about your weight loss.
Avocados are an easy food to implement into your diet to help you lose weight easily instead of you having to do all sorts of crazy things and extreme diets in order to lose weight.
It may seem too easy, but avocados have a reputation for being a superfood that can help you lose weight and stay healthy and the got that reputation for a good reason. They are low in sugar and are an unsaturated fat which makes them a great replacement food for other high sugar, saturated fats.
Nearly No Sugar
Sugary foods can be a killer on your diet. You want to avoid sugar at all costs and, low and behold, avocados have nearly no sugar to speak of.
In fact, avocados are known to have less sugar than nearly every other fruit. If you are looking for a tasty, low sugar substitute in your diet, the avocado is an easy way to get food that has roughly less than one gram of sugar per serving.
Unsaturated Fat
Eating foods with saturated fats is a big no when you are trying to lose weight. A problem is that so much of our food in this day and age contains a saturated fat of some kind.
However, you don't need to worry about this with avocados. They are unsaturated fat, not a saturated one.
This makes them a really awesome substitute for foods with saturated fat. Many people shy away at the thought of fats, but avocados are a kind of fat that is actually good for you. Don't be fooled at the thought of fats. Avocados are a great way to lose weight with their healthy unsaturated fats.
Generally, it seems too good to be true to think you can lose weight by dieting, but instead of only eating avocados once and thinking it will change your weight, make sure you put them in your diet as a lifetime habit.
Don't just use them as a quick diet change. Make sure it is something you implement in your life to keep you stay healthy for the rest of your days.
You want to make sure you are eating something that is low in sugar and healthy fat for your entire life. It is important that you stick to healthy foods and avocados are a tasty, wonderful way to do that.
Is Avocado A Diet Food?
When you think of "diet food," avocados probably aren't the first thing that spring to mind. After all, they do have a reputation for being rather high in calories and for containing lots of fat.
What you might not realise, however, is that, when eaten in moderation, avocados can actually be really good for you and are conducive to weight loss.
And, while it is true that they do contain fat, it's good fat- fat that your body needs and that will help it to feel satisfied. This isn't the only health benefit of avocados for dieters either; no, there are many others!

Avocados Can Lower Bad Cholesterol
If you struggle with high cholesterol levels, then an avocado a day might be just what the doctor ordered!
Studies have repeatedly found that those who regularly eat avocados and who follow a healthy diet have lower bad cholesterol, and thus a lowered risk of heart disease than those who eat healthy diets without avocado included.
What's even better is that lowered bad cholesterol improves insulin resistance, which can make it easier for you to shed the pounds and get fit fast!
Good Replacement For Bad Foods
As mentioned, avocado does contain fat, but it's good, filling fat- exactly what you need to feel full and power through your workouts with ease! Plus, avocado makes a great substitute for other fatty foods.
You'll save a lot of calories and do your heart and overall health a favour by swapping mayonnaise for a couple of slices of avocado; it tastes great on your favourite sandwich!
You can even use avocado in place of butter in many recipes. In short, it's the perfect replacement for those naughty foods that aren't doing you (or your diet!) any favours.
Loaded With Nutrients Perfect For Weight Loss
Finally, it must be mentioned that delicious avocados are jam-packed with beneficial nutrients. These include Vitamin K, Vitamin E, Folate, Vitamin B6, Vitamin C, Vitamin B5, Potassium, Magnesium, Copper, Zinc, Vitamin A, Vitamin B2, and Niacin.
Avocado is a really healthy superfood that boosts salads and soups, makes a delicious salsa, and works well for brunch when served on toast. The best avocado recipes listed here…
Tip To Remember
When you are getting all the nutrients your body needs, you'll find it easier to stick to your diet plan, your body will naturally combat cravings for bad foods, and you'll just feel better in general. While there's not really any such thing as a "miracle food," it must be said that, for weight loss and overall health, avocado comes pretty darn close.

(NASDAQ: FFIV), the global leader in Application Delivery Networking, today announced the availability of the BIG-IP® Application Security Module (ASM), based on F5's TrafficShield™ application firewall technology. The module provides enterprise-class application layer security that is fully integrated with the BIG-IP product and built on F5's unique TMOS architecture, the foundation of Application Delivery Networking. By combining comprehensive application security, acceleration, and availability capabilities into a single policy-based framework, F5 is the first in the industry to offer customers a cost-effective, high-performance unified platform for successful application delivery. "With this release of the Application Security Module on TMOS, F5 has done the integration work so customers no longer need to face the trade-off between operational efficiency, performance and holistic application security," said Erik Giesa, Vice President of Product Management and Marketing at F5 Networks. "The ROI is easily quantifiable. By combining application security within BIG-IP's unique policy-based application delivery framework, IT staff now have the tools to shorten application deployment time, simplify infrastructure design, and reduce overall costs related to security enforcement, attack damage, and damage response." According to a research note recently published by Gartner, Inc.1, integrating application delivery and Web application firewall functions into a common processing engine and single management interface will increase security and uptime of applications while reducing the complexity of protecting applications. "Combining the application delivery controller and Web application firewall is key to optimizing the relationships between the application and network," said Mark Fabbi, VP and Distinguished Analyst at Gartner, Inc. "Because of the affinity of the underlying technologies and how these products are operationally deployed, consolidation of these two solutions is natural and logical. Integration will bring significant performance, operational and cost benefits." Designed to provide more proactive protection for Web applications than traditional network level security solutions, the BIG-IP ASM leverages the application and network services that are part of its TMOS operating system, creating the most comprehensive application delivery networking solution on the market. This affords enterprises a better application networking alternative that reduces box clutter, lowers maintenance and management costs, and provides a new level of proactive application protection while ensuring exceptional application performance. "With the introduction of the Application Security Module for its BIG-IP Traffic Management platform, F5 Networks is providing true application layer security without compromising application delivery or availability," said Eric Feagler, Group Product Manager for Web Platform and Tools, Microsoft. "F5's positive security model gives customers comprehensive protection for Web applications and adds defense in depth on top of Microsoft's existing security practices. This integrated solution delivers enhanced manageability and promises to reduce total cost of ownership for joint customers of Microsoft and F5." Pricing and Availability The BIG-IP Application Security Module, available today, is priced at USD$12,500 and runs on the BIG-IP 6400 and 6800. 1 "Application Delivery and Web Application Firewalls Are Ready to Converge" Gartner, Inc.

When you get ready to listen to a song called "Cruel Love", you probably wouldn't expect a smooth, even soothing, jangler with an almost c'est la vie attitude, but that's exactly what Ryan Traster has created.
Traster delivers a harmonious hook that's reminiscent of the good stuff from the 90's that wasn't commercial enough to pick up the "alternative" misnomer from mass media. If you've got an ear for this sort of thing, you won't be shocked at all to find out that Ryan's from Minneapolis, and there are certainly some influences from that scene's greats going on here.
"Cruel Love" was recently released as a 7″ with a cover of Guided by Voices' "As We Go Up We Go Down" on the B-side, which may help you understand a bit where he's coming from.

US firm Space Adventures is potentially interested in buying a Russian Soyuz space craft to make tourist flights to the International Space Station (ISS), ITAR-TASS yesterday quoted the company's chief as saying.
The Arlington, Virgina-based firm, which brokered the first two tourist space flights in 2001 and last year, has signed a contract with the Russian space agency Rosaviakosmos to fly two more tourists to the ISS in 2004 or 2005.
Eric Anderson, chief executive officer, told the news agency in Los Angeles that Space Adventures was keen to send the two space tourists on board one spaceship accompanied by a professional astronaut.
They even considered the possibility of buying a Soyuz spaceship. Negotiations on the general issue are underway, but it was not clear what the outcome of the talks would be, Andersen said.
A Russian space agency official said earlier this week that Russia could build and sell a Soyuz craft to a private company offering tourists flights but only for a very high price.
"We can sell a spaceship. They have to understand, however, that it will cost not US$20 million or US$40 million, but much more," said Rosaviakosmos spokesman Sergei Gorbunov.
"Russia may build a Soyuz outside the ISS program. This technical possibility exists, but we have not discussed anything yet or received any offers," he added.
The Russian space official also said that it was possible that the two future tourists could fly up to the orbiting space station on a single Soyuz -- leaving just one seat for a professional astronaut on the three-person craft.
The asking price for a 10-day visit to the ISS is around US$20 million (17.6 million euros), a sum only two space tourists -- Californian businessman Dennis Tito and South Africa Internet millionaire Mark Shuttleworth -- have so far been willing to pay.
* First space tourist flight undertaken in 2001 by US businessman Dennis Tito.
* Russia sells a ten-day trip to the International Space Station for about US$20 million.
* Only two space-tourism trips have taken place, both of which were brokered by the US company Space Adventures.
* Space Adventures is considering purchasing its own Soyuz capsule.
Source: TT
Both tourists jaunts were organized by Space Adventures.
Russia and the US, the major partners in the 16-nation ISS project, have clashed in the past over Moscow's keenness to raise money for its cash-strapped space program by selling tourist tickets to the ISS.
Russia sends Soyuz rockets to the ISS every six months on so-called "taxi missions."

Procrastinator's Secret to Productivity
I've been a procrastinator all my life. If something needs to be done, I can give you six excellent rationalizations why it should be put off until tomorrow. I am the queen of crunch-time-gettin-shit-done… when I had the last week to get the task complete.
Moving Friday? Packing Thursday at 11pm.
Big speech at 2p today? Writing it while eating breakfast.
Visitors for the weekend? Cleaning the house as they are on their way.
It has taken me until my early thirties to figure out how to really get things done without giving myself a panic attack from the stress. Now, my friend, I'm about to share with you my procrastinator's secret to productivity.
The fifteen minute promise.
When some task comes up that I know I'm going to want to push off until later or another day, I force myself to do it for fifteen minutes with the promise that if I still don't want to do it after that time, I can quit until later or tomorrow. I set a timer and everything.
What I've found is the reason I procrastinate so much is that I get overwhelmed or feel like the task needs to be performed perfectly. Guess what? Knowing that I can call it quits after fifteen minutes negates the anxiety and desire to ignore what needs to be done.
It's actually pretty rare that I stop doing what I've started when the timer goes off. By minute sixteen, I'm typically so into what I'm doing that there's no way I could quit. The real secret here is momentum.Momentum makes anything easier, except quitting.
I've my procrastinator's secret to productivity on pretty much everything you could imagine: exercising, paying the bills, cleaning the house, doing laundry, grooming the dogs, recording a new video and even writing this post.
The fifteen-minute promise method never fails. Even when I do quit after the timer goes off, like when pulling weeds for example, I still got something accomplished. This makes it easier to restart later or tomorrow.
Are you a procrastinator?
How do you cope to get things done?

March 1st…wow. It feels like just yesterday we were launching the first New Year | New Rules program, and now suddenly Spring is on the horizon. It's funny how every passing year we seem surprised how fast time is going, as if it's speeding up, but we all know it's not. There's not much we can do about it, except of course, slow down, take care of ourselves and love every passing minute.
We decided March will be the month we kick our blog into high gear. Why? We're getting amazing feedback from everyone doing our program, reading our newsletter or simply following us on Facebook. As it turns out people are hungry for knowledge on how to feed both body and mind for the long haul. So that's what we want to give you on a daily basis – tips on living an optimally balanced life while living in the world you live in, because like we always say, life is not a diet.
March is going to be all about Spring Cleaning at Prescribe Nutrition. Out with the old and in with the new. We'll be going over everything from cleansing superfoods to meditation to dealing with Spring allergies. Who's in charge? Katie Jasper of Katie Jasper Health – mastermind of nutrition – with a specialty focus on brain & hormone health. Megan Morris of The Root of Health – sensei of nutrition – with a specialty focus on digestion and food allergies. Finally our beloved Anne Decker – mother of 2 brings us love on many levels. There aren't many ways to describe how we feel about her. She's smart, funny, organized, thinks BIG and might we say, damn beautiful – inside and out.
We'll keep you up to date on what's happening at Prescribe Nutrition. Right now we're pretty darn excited about Eating Well asking us to run our New Year | New Rules program for a THIRD time (!) and our next program: Get Balanced, which dives deep into the root cause of fatigue, excess weight and balancing your stress hormones. What are your stress hormones? Exactly.
Stay tuned and please let us know what YOU want to hear. We love feedback, comments and requests. Our dream is to make Prescribe Nutrition a hub for interactive wellness. Just getting folks saturated with knowledge. Love it.
Let's rock a healthy & happy world TOGETHER,
Megan & Katie

Human Services automates Training Event Management from signup to certification.Back to Case Studies
Franklin County Human Services
Human Services Department Gets an Inside Edge On Efficiency
Anyone who has hosted a training event knows that there are numerous details to manage. Previously, these details have been beyond overwhelming when coordinating the Franklin County Human Service Training Days event. This annual event offers more than 30 workshops over a two-day period. Each day consists of four training sessions with a keynote speaker, breakfast and lunch. Historically, this event was extremely paper driven with registration forms, participant packets, sign-in sheets and evaluations.
It all took time and resources away from the department's mission of helping service providers and clients when tight budgets aren't offering a lot of wiggle room. The solution came from a surprising source, and it didn't involve extra bodies sharing in the onerous job of printing and collating. Instead, Franklin County's IT Services Department gave Human Services a rules-based, automated events management solution founded on the County's Laserfiche workflow and eForms solution.
Essentially, IT Services automated most of the data-related tasks and enabled a shift to paperless event management. Context-sensitive electronic forms collected registration data that then ported into the data management and workflow functions. Tick list items, such as email confirmations and after-event certifications, were handled without the staff touching a keyboard. Personalized agendas and class handouts were distributed as PDF documents via email. Afterwards, training certificates were automatically validated and emailed to participants upon request via eForm. Special dietary requirements for breakfasts and lunches were also tracked. The only items Human Services printed were name tags, which were themselves deployed as a further weapon in the war on waste.
It Was Time for a Transformation
Bekah Laws knew that Training Days logistics could be a nightmare. Now an Applications Support Specialist in the Franklin County Information Technology Services Department, she formerly worked in Human Services and had been the event coordinator in the past. Over in IT, Laws saw a great opportunity to involve fellow Application Specialist Josh Burleigh and Laserfiche Lead Ed Yonker.
No one understood the challenges better than Laws, who stepped up as Project Leader. "Because I knew the event, it was easier for us to design the solution according to what it actually takes to do the event." So, the team structured the database, forms, and workflow to support—and improve—the process.
"We had advanced from the previous year's use of a web portal and Google Apps," recalled Laws. "With that setup, incoming data went into a spreadsheet. While that was a step up from the old fax-back/data entry method, multiple steps were required to make the data useful."
Creating a Seamless Flow of Data and Processing
"Starting over with Laserfiche Forms and designing a new database allowed us to dump incoming forms data where we needed it to be from the beginning. Then the system could do something with it immediately, such as generate an email registration confirmation complete with a personalized schedule. We could pre-schedule reports to hit the event coordinator's inbox throughout the day according to what she needed." If a session filled to capacity, it could easily be removed from the visible registration options, eliminating the nuisances of over-enrollment.
The Laserfiche Forms solution, available from General Code, was developed to enable government organizations to minimize manual data processing by placing forms online to reduce operating costs, improve efficiencies and eliminate paper and printing. Transaction data is captured electronically and integrated immediately into the records management and workflow systems, cutting processing time and enhancing service levels.
The team at Franklin County's IT Services used Laserfiche Forms to create electronic forms at the front end to support automatic data capture and verification together with integration into their SQL database. Then they set up workflow routines and routing in Laserfiche to automate processing.
Laserfiche's icon-driven, highly visual environment made it easy for the team to create forms and workflows. With some dragging and dropping and mouse clicks, they could test conditional loops and set register triggers for events, such as notifications or reminder emails as part of the overall process.
Paperless. Painless. Online Logistics Management Simplifies Life for Everyone Involved
"Over the span of the two day event, the solution processed somewhere between 3,500 and 4,000 entries," reported Ed Yonker. The solution used the stored data and processing rules to send out confirmations, reminders and PDF session documents automatically.
The ability to pull reports from the SQL database paid off as well. "The coordinator was able to keep the catering service current on head counts and special dietary requirements," commented Laws. "And she could keep an eye on a rolling count of class enrollment to see if she might want to move the class to a bigger room and adjust capacity."
"The only thing Human Services printed were name badges," said Laws. "The coordinator told me she thinks they saved at least 100 hours just by eliminating event packets." Attendees were happy to use the facility's Wi-Fi and their own smartphones, tablets and laptops to access session eForms at the event.
The benefits of the Laserfiche solution were obvious in other ways at the event. Attendees continued to interact with the Laserfiche solution, checking into workshops on in-session PCs using their individual participant code displayed on their badge. To expedite registration for large, popular sessions, Human Services hosts stationed themselves outside the rooms with tablets for mobile check-in. Because no paper sign-up sheets were used, a complete, accurate record was maintained as data flowed to the system from PCs and tablets.
About those secret-weapon name tags: they further crushed the logistical workload. Printed on the back of each was a QR code and web address. To request a Training Certificate, the attendee simply scanned the QR code or typed in the address on their mobile device. In response, the system returned an online session evaluation form. Once the attendee completed the evaluation, the participant was able to request a certificate, which was then e-mailed to them. Once again, no paper or staff time was required to complete this action.
"The County Commissioners were especially pleased by the way the event was run," said Laws. "They were pleased that badges were the only thing printed, because of the county-wide initiative to reduce paper usage. In fact, the County has implemented a contract approval solution for the Commissioner's Office that includes electronic signatures," she said.
Of course, the solution also followed up on Training Days after the event. "For a designated period of time, the system emailed people provided e-mail reminders about the deadline for requesting certificates," said Laws. Which was yet one more set of tasks the solution took off the Human Services workload.
Will this Laserfiche solution be an annual part of Training Days in the future? "Yes," said Laws. "We designed the solution to be reused. For example, we created numerically coded session records as part of our foundation. Next year, all we have to do is change the session title associated to each code to proceed with the database and workflow structures we built this year."

Ableton Celebrates a Decade of Innovation
Back in 1999, while much of the world was just getting to know Britney Spears […]
Back in 1999, while much of the world was just getting to know Britney Spears and some of us were slowly wrapping our minds around the future funk of "Windowlicker," a crack team of software developers (including Robert Henke, a.k.a. Monolake) joined together in Berlin to pool their collective resources in aims to hatch a new "instrument" that would forever change not only music production but live performance as well. The computer program they envisioned would come to be known as Ableton Live, and this month marks its tenth birthday. In celebration of this milestone, the Ableton crew is offering their legions a load of exclusive offers and free downloads—items which include 20% off Live 8 and Suite 8, a new "for beginners" version of Ableton called Intro, a free upgrade to Intro for LE users, and free Live Packs from Ableton artists the likes of Múm, Apparat, and Swayzak, among other great deals. Ableton has also taken the opportunity to announce that the much-anticipated release of Max for Live, a toolkit which harnesses the power of Max/MSP within Live and whose abilities XLR8Rexplored back in August, goes down November 23. A full rundown of all the celebratory goods can be found here.

By Michael Negard, Director of Communication and Public Affairs, U.S. Army Combat Readiness/Safety CenterSeptember 9, 2013
FORT RUCKER, Ala. (Sept. 9, 2013) - Lt. Col. Craig Lambert, a member of the West Virginia National Guard, was named the motorcycle Outstanding RiderCoach Trainer for 2013 by the Motorcycle Safety Foundation at the organization's International Rider Education Training System Conference held Aug. 15-16 in Indianapolis.
Lambert, who was one of nearly 300 other motorcycle mentors nationwide up for the honor, was recognized for his work in organizing what is now the West Virginia Military Motorcycle Safety Program. The program works in concert with the West Virginia Department of Motor Vehicles to address the needs of the state's military personnel.
"I'm honored to receive this recognition," Lambert said. "But it's truly reflective of the efforts of all the RiderCoaches involved in our program who have committed themselves to the continued safety of our Soldiers, dependents and employees who ride motorcycles."
The program began in 2005, consisting of only a few roadside safety cones and a range on which motorcycle riders could navigate a course. It has grown considerably over the past eight years and now includes a dedicated support trailer, 15 trainer bikes and 12 ranges across the state of West Virginia. The program has been identified as a "best practice" in 33 other states and territories.
Lambert was also instrumental in assisting the U.S. Army Combat Readiness/Safety Center in developing and testing the MSF's updated Basic RiderCourse 2014 Update - a classroom and hands-on training course intended for new motorcycle riders.
"Lt. Col. Lambert's commitment to motorcycle safety has had a huge impact on the well-being of military motorcycle riders across his state as well as across the Army," said Walt Beckman, loss prevention program manager for the USACR/Safety Center's Driving Directorate. "The West Virginia Army National Guard will be the first Army organization to use the new Basic RiderCourse when it becomes available."
In fiscal 2012, the U.S. Army (Army Reserve, Army National Guard and the active component) lost 43 service members to fatal motorcycle accidents. This year, the Army has lost 35 Soldiers to motorcycle accidents, which equates to slightly more than one-third of all of the Army's off-duty accident fatalities. Fatalities from motorcycle accidents rank higher than any other off-duty accident, and are about 10 percent higher than sedan and truck fatal accidents.
Brig. Gen. Tim Edens, commanding general of the USACR/Safety Center and director of Army Safety, as well as an avid motorcycle rider, sees potential for the number to grow as combat operations overseas draw down and Soldiers return to home stations.
"Motorcycles are a very popular mode of transportation across the Army," Edens said. "Training and mentoring young and less experienced riders have never been more important. Craig Lambert's enthusiasm and devotion to motorcycle safety will have a positive impact for years to come."
The MSF has trained more than 6 million riders, both military and civilian, since the organization began its efforts in 1973.

One of the biggest challenges in starting a blog is, perhaps, deciding which blogging platform to choose. There are many options available: Wordpress, Blogger, Typepad, LiveJournal, Wix, and Tumblr, to name just a few. Some of these blogging platforms are free, some are paid, and some offer premium services in their paid versions. They all have different sets of features and require varying degrees of technical skills to use them.
Most popular of the lot are Wordpress and Blogger, and there's a never-ending debate on which of these two is better. To be completely fair though, the debate should be between THREE and not TWO. Wordpress.com and Wordpress.org are two separate blogging platforms.
My own blogs are all hosted on Blogger. I have made some professional websites too on Blogger, to save on hosting costs for my clients. That doesn't necessarily mean that you should go for Blogger too. It works for me, but, it might be totally wrong for you.
In this article, I will let you decide which of these three blogging platforms is best for you based on your specific requirements.
Which Blogging Platform Is Best For You?
I am giving details of the three main blogging platforms in use today: their usage cost, pros and cons, as well as what type of blogs they are most ideal for. Hopefully, these details will help you pick the most suitable blogging platform for your blog.

- Moderate coding/design skills needed to make any kind of customizations.
- No option to self-host (not even a paid one).
- Only two user levels.
- No option to password protect individual posts.
- Limited storage for images on Google Picasa.
- Doesn't work that well with heavy traffic.
- Ideal For:
- Personal blogs.
- Low-to-medium traffic niche blogs.
- Minimum budget blogs.
- Multi-user blogs not requiring too many access levels.
My preferred blogging platform, at the moment, is Blogger. All my blogs are single-user blogs, with moderate traffic. Plus, I have design skills, so I can customize my blogs any way I want, at no extra annual cost (besides the domain name).
Which blogging platform do you use? Blogger? Wordpress.com? Wordpress.org? Any other? Are you happy with it? Would you have chosen differently if you knew better?
This is my 16th post for 2015 AprilAtoZ.

All You Wanted To Know About Recourse And Non-Recourse Factoring
Factoring is a process where you sell your invoices in exchange of immediate payment at a discount. Factoring companies keep the payable invoices and the business houses get cash immediately. It is a quicker, easier and better way to avoid long or short- term debts. Invoices act, as equity for almost all businesses but to get working cash flow is easily feasible through recourse and non- recourse factoring. So, while starting a business you have to keep a few things in mind, which are more important than your cash equity. Some of the things, which are counted as equity, are cash in hand, line of credit and invoices.
So lets find out what recourse and non- recourse factoring is all about. When you use an invoice factoring, it is advisable that you should be aware of certain terms and conditions such as "who would be responsible for debts when customers are unable to pay?" But if you have recourse factoring, then the factor will not take the burden of the debts and will just collect the amount from you if the invoice is unpaid.
Recourse factoring is considered lower cost factoring as you continue to take the risk of the bad debts instead of surpassing them to the factoring company. This factoring is much easier to attain and the invoice factoring also has less stringent rules about your business systems and the payment history of your clients. But if you have unreliable clients then you may have to pay back the amount along with the normal fees and interest. Thus, it is advisable to weight all facets of the situation before you opt of any type of factoring.
Non-recourse financing is quite similar to recourse financing. But in non-recourse financing the financing company is held liable for receiving payment from the payable invoice. The factor accepts specific risks such as total disappearance but doesn't insure against slow payment. This is the main reason that non-recourse factoring is more expensive. In non-recourse factoring you don't have to refund the advance to the factor but you should pay interest for the specific period mentioned in the factoring agreement. The factor takes all the rights to pursue the customer for the payment. It includes the right to take legal action also.
Both, Recourse and non-recourse factoring are quite popular and most of the companies these days offer both these services to customers as both have proved to be the viable option to meet the cash requirements for small as well as big businesses.
Thus, it is very important to choose the best factoring keeping the current state of business in mind. Similarly, it is very important to choose the appropriate invoice factoring company. You may find some factors charge low fees but offer you lower levels of customer service also, now this may end up being more expensive in the long run. Factoring companies have their own requirements and whether a financing company is just right for you or not, could be found out by directly interacting with them.

We treat children of all ages at Monkstown Dental Surgery. It is important that from an early age children become accustomed to going to the dentist. This is so that the child gets used to the environment, and also has regular maintenance and oral hygiene appointments to prevent problems as they get older.
Early diagnoses and detection of dental decay or disease is paramount to the dental health of the child in adult life.
Fissure sealants
These are placed on the surfaces of the permanent teeth on children usually from the age of six years old onwards (when the first permanent teeth erupt). This reduces the risk of early decay in the pits and fissures of the permanent teeth.
Tooth brushing technique and instruction along with dietary advice is a major part of children's dentistry at the regular checkups. The fabrication of mouth guards for sport is usually carried out to prevent dental injury or trauma.
Special Offer for Children
Exam, Scale and Polish only €40.

This book is best read alone, in a cold room under a giant comforter for several hours straight.
Author : Scott Smith
Copyright: 2006
Publisher: Vintage Books
Published Date : February 26, 2008
Paperback: 384 pages
Two young American couples are on their summer vacation in Cancun, Mexico. They befriend other tourists, one of who plans to make a sidetrip to look for his brother at an archeological site. Bored by inaction, they volunteer to accompany him for the chance to trek and see the Mayan ruins and the dig. What starts out as a fun trip transforms into a nightmare from which there seems to be no escape.
As a writer of horror and suspense, Scott Smith does know his stuff. He has very good techniques that build up suspense, anticipation, and shock so that you have the strong compulsion to read 'til the very end.
For me, reading this book is like riding a roller coaster. The first 100 pages is a slow ride to the top with occasional minor jerks to keep you interested. Once there, the action starts and you get to taste the first belly-flopping fright. After that there is no let-up, as the ride just gets frightfully worse, without recourse to stopping and you can't help but grip the book, page after page of unputdownable horror.
As you face each hill and think it can't be any worse, Smith continues to up the ante until the ride coasts gently to a complete stop and the story reaches a good conclusion.
As an aside, Smith's real forte here is the psychological aspect of the story. He involves you in the thinking processes of four characters by getting you inside their heads, allowing you to know how they think; so that you know why they cope the way they do, and why things happen from choices dictated by their personalities. The author lays out how their individual coping mechanisms largely determines the group's dynamics as the characters try to solve or adjust to their situation. This psychological angle combined with the paranormal plus Smith's eloquent yet graphically vivid style, makes this book a winner.
You finish, shaky but elated that you've paid well for an exciting fright. Indeed, you'll be back wanting more. So, when the next Scott Smith ride comes to town, you'll be the first in line.
My Mark : One hell of a ride! — Outstanding

The game lasted long last night in New York. A team has to lose, this time the Phillies came out on the bottom and lost against the NY Mets. Tom Gordon just happened to be pitching, again. The relievers roll is never pretty, but Gordon is costing this team plenty. His play is not up to par anymore and it's going to be adding up as the year goes on.
Losing two in NY is not the worst thing that can happen yet in this early season. J Roll is out, and the offense sputtered a bit before Pat The Bat stepped up again and won the first game of the 4th series of the year for the Fightin's, this time back at home against the Chicago Cubs.
Brett Myers gave up two homeruns in the first to Chicago, and it looked as though it was going to be a short night for him. He regained his composure and battled on. Boosted by the play of Burrell, Myers and the Phillies were right back into the game tonight and even though they faced a tough Carlos Zambrano, who started the game 1-0 with a 1.32 era, the Phillies came out on top for the first of three against the Cubbies.
So recapping the third series for the Phillies:
1-2 vs. NY Mets in New York
Notes: The Opening Day game at Shea was a sellout, the next two games were not,
Here's the attendance all three games: 1. 56,350 2. 47,127 3. 49,045
Phillies bad news during series: Rollins injury

Four new clips from director Jon Turteltaub's upcoming comedy Last Vegas are now available. The story centers on four friends in their 60s who reunite in Las Vegas to throw a bachelor party for their last remaining single pal. Last Vegas brings Michael Douglas, Robert De Niro, Morgan Freeman and Kevin Kline together on the same screen, and these new clips each highlight each of their characters in turn (my personal favorite is an energetic-yet-drunk Freeman hopped up on Red Bull and vodka). Last Vegas opens November 1st. Hit the jump to watch the clips.
Here are four new clips from Last Vegas:
Starring four legends like you've never seen them before, LAST VEGAS tells the story of Billy, Paddy, Archie and Sam (played by Academy-Award winners Michael Douglas, Robert De Niro, Morgan Freeman and Kevin Kline), best friends since childhood. When Billy, the group's sworn bachelor, finally proposes to his thirty-something (of course) girlfriend, the four head to Las Vegas with a plan to stop acting their age and relive their glory days. However, upon arriving, the four quickly realize that the decades have transformed Sin City and tested their friendship in ways they never imagined. The Rat Pack may have once played the Sands and Cirque du Soleil may now rule the Strip, but it's these four who are taking over Vegas.

About an hour before our session the rain stopped but it was overcast, still ideal and I was just happy it wasn't raining. We photographed around Chicago and then Kristina and Tony's home. Afterwards, they said we needed to get the Chicago downtown view. As soon as we got to the location, the sun broke and created the most beautiful sunset. I just stopped and stared in awe, I had the most beautiful view and an amazing couple, it was all I needed.

"Hamilton" fever took hold at the Grammy Awards on Monday when cast members of the hip-hop Broadway phenomenon performed live on the CBS broadcast and took home the award for musical theater album.
The performance marked a rare instance in which a Broadway musical was allowed to occupy precious airtime at the Grammys. In past years, Grammy producers have relegated the musical category to the pre-telecast ceremony held just before the main event.
Taking the stage from the musical's home at the Richard Rodgers Theatre in New York, Lin-Manuel Miranda, who wrote "Hamilton," joined the ensemble cast to perform the show's opening sequence.
Miranda later accepted the Grammy, delivering a rap-like list of thank-yous.
Since opening last year at the Public Theater and then transferring to Broadway, "Hamilton" has been one of the hottest theater tickets in New York, drawing a long list of celebrities to its audience. The musical uses hip-hop and rap to recount the life story of Alexander Hamilton, the Federalist founding father and first Secretary of the Treasury. A multiracial cast of actors portrays the show's historical characters, including George Washington, Thomas Jefferson, James Madison, Aaron Burr and King George III.
The national tour year will come to the Pantages Theatre in Hollywood starting in August 2017.
"Hamilton" beat out cast albums from "Fun Home," "An American in Paris," "The King and I" and "Something Rotten."
In the classical music field, Stephen Paulus, the prolific Minnesota composer who died in 2014, won Grammys in two categories, including the award for contemporary composition for his choral piece "Prayers and Remembrances," which appears in the album "Far in the Heavens."
The somber, hymn-like work in multiple movements debuted in 2011 as a commission to mark the 10th anniversary of the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks. The album was recorded by Arizona's True Concord Voices & Orchestra.
The composer's widow, Patricia, and her sons, accepted the award Monday afternoon at the Grammy pre-telecast ceremony.
Paulus was also recognized for his album "Three Places of Enlightenment; Veil Of Tears & Grand Concerto," recorded by the Nashville Symphony, which won for the classical compendium category.
The Boston Symphony Orchestra took home the top orchestral Grammy for its album "Shostakovich: Under Stalin's Shadow," which features the Russian composer's Symphony No. 10, conducted by Andris Nelsons.
Seiji Ozawa won a Grammy in the opera category for the album of Ravel's "L'Enfant Et Les Sortilèges" and "Shéhérazade," from Japan's Saito Kinen Orchestra.
The award for choral performance went to the Kansas City Chorale and Phoenix Chorale's recording of Rachmaninoff's "All-Night Vigil."
Other classical winners included mezzo-soprano Joyce DiDonato for classical solo vocal album ("Joyce & Tony: Live From Wigmore Hall") and violinist Augustin Hadelich for classical instrumental solo (for the Seattle Symphony's album of music by Henri Dutilleux).
The new music group eighth blackbird added to its Grammy collection, winning its fourth award in the category of chamber music or small ensemble performance for its album "Filament," which spotlights music by Bryce Dessner, as well as Nico Muhly, Son Lux and Philip Glass.

The thing about dyeing your hair a distinctly different colour from what you were born with, is that your mother will never approve.'People don't believe I'm mixed-race - but you can be mixed and have dark skin'
Despite having been blonde for half a decade, my family members still refer to me as 'dark haired'. Anytime I make the vaguest mention of changing my hair colour they jump at it. To them, me being blonde is wrong.
Perhaps that's why I like it. It's a kind of emancipation from who I was as a child, a self-chosen status.
There isn't much about our appearance that we get to chose. Our body types are primarily set, though we can work with them. Our eyes are fixed colour, our skin-tone is set, within a few shades difference. But our hair? Our hair we can change.
I was a prolific hair dyer as a teenager. Various hideous boxed shades of purple-red, absolute black and a doomed attempt at chestnut ensured that there are no nice photos of me as a teenager. But I never had the courage to try blonde.
Blonde was for other girls. Prettier girls. Blonde was the hair colour of someone who wanted to stand out for what they looked like rather than what they had to say. Blonde wasn't just a hair colour, it was a status symbol.
The one time I toyed with attempting a dark, honey blonde, a friend told me, 'you really shouldn't. Your skin tone is way, way too red for blonde hair.'
And so I didn't. Until several years later, when I finished working at a department store for the summer between my first and second year of university and, enjoying the novel experience of having earned actual money, I decided to go to an actual hairdresser.
The woman who did my hair that day literally changed my life. She convinced me to let her balayage my hair, a process which involves painting blonde highlights freehand, focussing around the ends and framing the face.
When she finished drying my hair, I couldn't believe that the woman (and for once it was a woman, not a girl) in the mirror was me.
She looked glossy and shiny and healthy. She looked like the kind of woman who got attention for what she looked like, and what she had to say. She was the person I had always wanted to be.
The difference in the way that people treated me was astonishing. From the moment I walked out of the hairdresser, I could feel eyes on me. If my brown hair had been a 'do not disturb' sign, the blonde hair said 'Hello boys…'
Dark hair is beautiful. It's just as beautiful as blonde hair. But blonde hair did something to me. It changed the way that I saw myself. And I was hooked.
A couple of months later I went back for more. A full head of highlights later and again, I was bowled over by myself. After years of avoiding mirrors and thinking of myself as the plump, funny friend, I felt sexy.
Of course, it wasn't just the hair. It was what the hair did to me. It made me dress differently, I had to start doing different makeup which prompted me to discard the same routine I'd been doing since I was fourteen. The hair was a catalyst, the start of a chain reaction.
My relationship with my hair, or rather, the colour of my hair, is a perfect microcosm of my relationship with myself. When I feel good about myself and I want to treat myself well, I get new highlights. I prioritise spending money on keeping my hair lovely rather than other things.
When I feel bad about myself I let the roots grow out, which makes my face look dull and gives it a permanently greasy look.
If I feel truly terrible, I dye it.
It sounds stupid, like the most first world problem imaginable, but if I feel badly enough about myself I'll self-sabotage. I'll convince myself that being blonde is too expensive and too indulgent, and I'll get it dyed brown.
I don't feel like me with dark hair anymore. It's like wearing a costume. I've forgotten how to do that version of myself's make-up, or how to dress her. She's a stranger, a stranger who isn't kind to herself.
The thing about having heavily processed blonde hair is that it's porous. It will basically eat any hair dye that is placed on it. So a lovely, glossy dark colour will become a sort of dry, pottery brown after a couple of weeks. I know this. When I colour my hair brown I'm entirely aware of how it will turn out, how it will look somehow green and ginger at the same time, and how it will make me feel.
It's been eighteen months since I last had a brunette self-sabotage moment. That's eighteen whole months of believing that I deserve to look and feel nice. Admittedly that's partially because I'm getting married and even I'm not self-destructive enough to give myself dirty-straw hair for the most photographed day of my life. But still. Progress.
The better I treat my hair, the better I treat myself.
Even if I don't think that I deserve these things, I can just about convince myself that my hair does – that keeping it in good condition is just a part of my job. And that way, I sneak a little bit of self-care through the back door.
An evening of watching Gossip Girl, hair slathered in a mask and wrapped up in clingfilm, might not sound like anything special but it's a message to myself, a whisper saying 'You're doing okay. You deserve nice things sometimes.'
This article is part of Hair Care, our month-long investigation and exploration into our relationships with hair and the cultural implications that come with it.

Blast in Ludhiana cinema hall: 6 dead, 30 hurt
Onkar Singh in New Delhi | October 14, 2007 21:35 IST
Last Updated: October 15, 2007 08:08 IST
Terror struck Ludhiana on Sunday when six people were killed and 30 injured in a blast in one of the three cinema halls in a multiplex located in a busy shopping area of this industrial town in Punjab.
However, Ludhiana Range DID Ishwar Singh confirmed that the blast had been carried out by a terrorist group. No outfit has yet claimed responsibility.
Confirming the death toll, Punjab's Director General of Police N P S Aulakh said the involvement of the Babbar Khalsa could not be ruled out. The blast occurred around 8.40 pm. The evening show commenced at 7 pm.
Four died on the spot while two died in hospital, police said. Half of the injured were in a critical condition and some of them underwent surgeries at the nearby Christian Medical College hospital.
Ishwar Singh said the bomb was planted between the second and third seat in the third row of second block on the right side of the lower stall in the blast affected hall. Maximum damage was done to the 'lower class' area of the hall, which is usually frequented by migrant labourers.
The intensity of the blast was such that it created a big crater in the hall and window panes were smashed. A Bhojpuri film Janam Janam Ka Saath was being screened in the hall.
Dr Rajesh Paul, a CMC doctor, said the victims brought to the hospital had injuries in upper and lower limbs. "They are basically blast injuries," he said, adding that "the number of casualties may go up."
Aulakh said a forensic team had already reached the spot from Chandigarh and was lifting samples, adding the nature of the explosives would be known later on. He said that Punjab had been already put on maximum alert in view of the current festive season.
Police said that investigations were on to know the nature of explosives used in the attack.
Ishwar Singh said that those who died in the incident were all males and added that only one blast had occurred and did not agree with some eyewitness accounts that two blasts had rocked the cinema hall.
Strongly condemning the incident, Punjab Chief Minister Parkash Singh Badal said that fundamental and anti-national forces inimical to peace and communal harmony will not be allowed to succeed in their nefarious designs.
Badal said that law and order in the state will be maintained at all costs and appealed to people to remain calm. He also directed the civil and police officials in the state to remain vigilant and added that government will provide free medical treatment to the injured and will give adequate compensation to the next of those who had died in the incident.
The blast occurred when the film being screened had resumed after an interval, eyewitness accounts said, adding a song was being screened when the hall was rocked by the blast.
Immediately after the blast, panic-stricken viewers rushed out of the theatre, officials said.
Chandigarh was put on high alert following the blast.
A police spokesman said security around the inter-state bus terminus, railway station and other important buildings and installations had been beefed up.
Meanwhile, the Centre is closely monitoring the security situation in Punjab.
Union Home secretary Madhukar Gupta spoke to Punjab's chief secretary and Director General of Police to have first hand information about the incident, official sources said.
The Centre has assured all assistance to the state government and was also rushing bomb experts from elite National Security Guards. The Union Home secretary, after talking to Punjab chief secretary, apprised the home minister Shivraj Patil about the situation.

Sure, we may try to laugh it off, but deep down inside we're pretty devastated when we're at a soirée and suddenly a "she stole my look" moment rears its ugly head. So, we can only imagine how Charlize Theron and Kristen Stewart felt when they both arrived at the Snow White And The Huntsman premiere donning crazy-similar gowns (uh oh!).
Maybe it was the movie's dark theme that inspired both gals to opt for long, sheer black dresses — or maybe they planned it. Who knows. We'll probably never get to the bottom of the matching mystery, but it looks like the ladies had a lovely time, either way. However, we do think this warrants a "who wore it best" poll, no? Have at it — take to the comments and fill us in on whose version of the look you like better.
