Amazing product! Easy to use and extraordinary results! Congrats!
I was able to make exactly the kind of buttons I needed. Since this is the free version, I had to do some additional work on the buttons to prepare them for the website (such as make the background transparent), but overall I\'m very happy with it.At some point, I may upgrade to the paid version, but since I am the webmaster for a non-profit organization, the funds are not currently available to purchase it.I would give this program a rating of 9 out of 10 as a free program, as it is very easy to use, there are ...

Please join Laura Waterman Wittstock on Wednesday, August 8th as she talks with U.S. Senator Byron Dorgan who founded the Center for Native American Youth, dedicated to improving the health, safety and overall well-being of Native youth through communication, policy development and advocacy.
US Senator Byron Dorgan had a prolific career in public service, serving at both the state and federal levels. During his time in office, Senator Dorgan was a tireless advocate for Native American issues. While serving as the Vice Chairman in the 109th Congress and Chairman in the 110th and 111th Congresses for the Senate Committee on Indian Affairs, Senator Dorgan brought attention to the disparities existing in Indian Country. He successfully championed efforts to reauthorize and modernize the Indian Health Care Improvement Act, authored the Tribal Law and Order Act, reauthorized the Special Diabetes Program for Indians, fought for increased funding for Indian Country programs, and much more. Improving the lives of Native American youth, especially reducing the tragically high rates of youth suicide, is an issue Senator Dorgan remains deeply passionate about today.

We all get a buzz out of eating and sex but there's a third buzz that is just as pleasurable, and it can have a direct impact on the type of world we live in.
A desire to help others, is so necessary to us that we experience it as one of our chief pleasurable activities, as essential and pleasurable as eating and having sex.
There is even an "it's not fair" spot in the human brain, so that people are less interested in making money for themselves than in rectifying financial inequality.
This belief that the essential impulse of human beings and all of life is a will to connect is at the core of Lynne McTaggart's paradigm-shifting new book THE BOND: Connecting Through the Space Between Us, the result of her extensive research into the work of frontier scientists in a vast array of disciplines.
In fact, argues Lynne, an award-winning journalist and author of the international bestsellers The Field and The Intention Experimentall the crises we face today, including the financial recession, have occurred because the lives we've chosen to lead are not consistent with our truest nature as givers and sharers.
"Currently, we maintain this view of the universe as a place of scarcity populated by separate things that must turn against each other in order to survive. We've all simply assumed that's life," says McTaggart. "But that's not the story science is telling us anymore."
Among a host of new scientific revelations, THE BOND Teleclass will disclose that we are not "individuals" in any sense of the term:
- Subatomically, there is no such thing as an individual thing.
- Our bodies are created through so many complex interactions with its environment that they cannot be considered to exist independently.
- Our health, our mental stability, and possibly even much of what we consider our uniquely individual motivation are partly at the whim of solar activity.
- We understand the actions of others by simulating the entire experience from a personal vantage point as though it were happening to us.
- One of our deepest needs is to agree with each other, which manifests in a constant and automatic impulse to synchronize, physically, psychologically and emotionally.
- Emotion, always considered wholly individual, is like a virus, transferring from person to person in an endless and unconscious circle of contagion.
- We seek belonging above all else: for every $10,000 more your neighbors make than you do, your suicide probability increases by 7.5 per cent.
- Connecting with others is a matter of life and death; the lone-wolf, Gary Cooper-style all-American hero is a perfect candidate for a heart attack.
A leading figure in the international mind-body-spirit and consciousness communities, Lynne McTaggart offers detailed recommendations in the telelass program to help foster more cooperative relationships and more unified neighborhoods.
- Survivors of the 2004 Tsunami can teach us how to see the world more fully and in wholeness.
- A love of flea markets and whodunits turn on the "seeking" mechanism of the brain, which helps us to discover the hidden connections between things.
- We can learn to relate to each other from the experience of two rival gangs in Watts, Los Angeles.
- A new way of speaking and listening, inspired by quantum physics, can overcome polarization, helping the staunchest of enemies to become close friends as it did among pro-life and pro-choice activists.
- A former member of the Hitler youth movement and the daughter of a Holocaust survivor can demonstrate important ways to forgive and connect again.
- One tiny act of kindness a bit of change left in a Coke machine can cause a wave of generosity throughout a vast corporation and an entire community.
- People who fire together wire together; whenever a group works together for a common goal, the brains of all parties begin to get on the same wavelength strengthening the bond within the group.
- Your neighbors and your best friends can become your savings bank.
- We can gain tips from the South Africa's rugby and Oxford's rowing teams, the Chilean Miners, a community water pipeline and a Syrian translator about creating a new and vibrant neighborhood.
- Fairness is a stronger phenomenon than unfairness; all it requires is a small group of individuals committed to strong reciprocity to "invade" a population of self-interested individuals and create a fairer society.
23 speakers in 15 Shows, Directing you in Business, Spirituality, Relationships, Peace Healing and Fairness…
Life certainly doesn't feel too fair right now. Bankers have paid themselves record bonuses while the recession they helped to create has caused vast numbers of individuals to lose their jobs, their savings even their homes.
On the other hand hardworking taxpayers resent paying higher taxes either for healthcare on those not contributing or to bail out the banks that have gone on to generate record profits with no immediate payback.
In short, life feels more unfair than it ever has. And, according to the latest statistics, many global communities are are at its most unfair in history.
The trouble is nobody actually wins when things are unfair. The latest evidence shows that the more unfair any society, the worse off everyone is both rich and poor in terms of virtually every social problem. Both the most affluent and the very poorest suffer from higher rates of ill health, crime, mental illness, environmental problems, and violence.
But it's not pie-in-the sky wishful thinking…
Lynne and the speakers in The Fairness Campaign Summit are offering a set of practical skills, tools and processes that have been proven to work around the world, even in the midst of bloody civil wars and high conflict such as South Africa and the Middle East. These processes have also proven successful in bringing both sides together over highly polarized issues, such as abortion.
These speakers with Lynne will be offering succinct solutions, such as the example from Japan, where communities have become their own savings and loan banks and each member of a small group of trusted friends receive financial assistance in turn.
You will learn all this AND hear from the leading experts how THEY apply the Fairness Campaign to their work and lives.
With the content being presented in the Summit, Individuals, neighborhoods, communities even workplaces can use these tools to make their environment fairer, and everyone in it happier.
"Scientists and economists have demonstrated that fairness has is at the heart of who we are and how we interact with each other,' says bestselling author Lynne McTaggart. 'It's in our DNA. When things are unfair in any way, it damages our social bond and we simply hurt ourselves. Strange to say, the most selfish (self fulfilling) thing you can do is to be fair to others because that way you yourself are better off, happier and most fulfilled."

World Wrestling Entertainment's (NYSE:WWE) stock has been getting slammed, and now another wrestling promotion is throwing its hat in the ring.
Continue Reading Below
Third-generation wrestler and former WWE superstar Jeff Jarrett is behind a brand new promotion called Global Force Wrestling. Since its April launch, GFW has quickly gained online buzz and a strong media following. Even though a network television deal has yet to be inked, the hashtag #JoinTheForce is active among hardcore wrestling fans looking for an alternative to WWE programming.
Wrestling fans seem to be engaged, but Wall Street isn't showing much faith. Shares of WWE dropped 42.2% in May as investors weren't happy with the company's new TV deal with NBC Universal. WWE's new contract will bring in $150 million annually, a jump from the previous $90 million deal but well below analyst expectations.
Jarrett hit back against skeptics who are saying WWE's stock plunge is a sign that interest in wrestling is plummeting. "I'm not nervous at all. Investors may be disappointed but the increase in rights and TV fees speaks volumes as to how much interest is in the wrestling world."
He continues, "If you want proof of how big wrestling is, just look at Hollywood. The Rock went to Hollywood and came back to the WWE 10 years later as the hottest actor in the world. He's a third-generation wrestler, as I am, and he's the hottest box office attraction out there."
But the question will be, is there a market for more? GFW's launch comes at a time when wrestling has never been more accessible. WWE's 24/7 streaming-based network is filled with content new and old and has nearly 700,000 subscribers as of May 1st. WWE is confident it will hit one million by the end of 2014.
Jarrett recognizes the uphill climb but says GFW's success will come from the talent involved. "Over the past 5-7 years, the undiscovered talent database has been growing. I'm excited to tap into that. "
Various wrestling sites have been reporting former WWE champion and author Mick Foley is willing to jump on. Jarrett says while he can't confirm or deny Foley's interest, but he is getting enormous interest from wrestlers in all stages of their careers.
"Veterans, beginners, and everything in between. It's not only rewarding as a promoter, it's rewarding as a fan," he said.

NASHVILLE, Tenn. – With the regular season right around the corner, a couple of Lady Bison softball players garnered some recognition from CollegeSportsMadness.com, with spots on the website's First-Team All-Conference preseason squad.
Senior pitcher Whitney Kiihnl and junior outfielder Caroline Mason were both named to the first team. Mason was named a first-team All-Atlantic Sun selection last season, while Kiihnl was a second-teamer in 2011.
Kiihnl, a three-time All-Conference selection and 2010 third-team All-American, went 20-11 with a 1.69 ERA and 328 strike outs in 211.1 innings pitched last season. She was named to the Atlantic Sun All-Tournament team for the third consecutive year as well.
Mason led the Lady Bison in average (.307), home runs (nine), doubles (10) and hits (43) in her second season with the team. The Mount Juliet native started 48 games, driving in 25 runs while hitting mostly clean-up in the Lady Bison batting order.
The Atlantic Sun preseason All-Conference team will be announced next week. Fans can vote for the Preseason Player of the Year, Pitcher of the Year, the 2012 A-Sun Regular Season Champion and the Atlantic Sun Softball Championship winner until 9 a.m. (CT) on Wednesday, Jan. 25 and the winners will be announced on the conference preseason release.
Kiihnl is on the ballot for Pitcher of the Year, while junior transfer Kelsey Cartwright is up for Player of the Year. Be sure to vote for Lipscomb to win the conference regular season and postseason championship as well.
The Lady Bison start the regular season, Feb. 10, at the Mardi Gras Tournament in Mobile, Ala. Lipscomb will be home Feb. 18-19 for the Lady Bison Round Robin against Samford and Butler.

1UP reports that Tecmo's Team Ninja could be on the verge of collapse with as many as three dozen key members ready to walk out.
The resignation of Team Ninja head Tomonobu Itagaki was a blow to Tecmo, the developer quickly assuring fans that the Ninja Gaiden and Dead or Alive franchises would continue. However, the rumoured mass walkout would pose a much greater problem.
1UP also reports that the departing Team Ninja members will be serving Tecmo with a class-action lawsuit regarding unpaid bonuses for completed games.
Tecmo maintains the ownership of the Ninja Gaiden and Dead or Alive IPs, but without the creative talent that made them what they are the future of each franchise looks uncertain.
Would you buy a new game in the Ninja Gaiden or Dead or Alive series knowing that much of the creative force that created the IPs were not involved? Let us know what you think in the comments section below.

Proper planter maintenance is critical in ensuring maximum productivity and efficiency during the short planting period. While it's very important for farmers to make sure their planter is mechanically sound, it's also important to check the electronics and technology on today's planters.
"The electronics on your planter affect productivity and bottom line, just like the nuts and bolts," says Phil Jennings, Kinze service manager.
After farmers check their planter's mechanics, there is a separate checklist of items they should check regarding their monitors and technology. For farmers to ensure their planter monitor is running properly, Jennings recommends three basic areas to check: display operation, display data/software and the planter components.
When checking planter electronics, start in the cab. Plug in the display and turn it on. Farmers should take their time inspecting things like the main power connections and relays, harness routings through doors and windows, and GPS connections. Scroll through the different operation screens to make sure that all of the sensors and modules register on the display as they should.
Next, farmers should check to be certain they are running the latest version of the software in their display. Updates often become available more than once a year. Staying up-to-date gives the operator solutions that may apply to more than just the planting season.What about the information or applied data that is still in the display's memory from last season? Make a copy and purge unnecessary files from the display. Doing the same for old products and out of date field information can help avoid confusion when navigating through the display later. Now is the time to enter new data; farmers can start plugging in the new seed variety numbers, field changes or implement information.
Last, farmers need to inspect the planter components. Carefully follow the wiring harness routing from hitch pin to seed tube. Stay focused on any areas that move when the machine is folded and around the row unit chains and parallel arms. Be sure to add new tie straps or guarding where necessary. The culmination of this process should be a full function system check.Planters equipped with a hydraulic drive should be run in the shop allowing farmers to verify that the row unit clutches and sectional controls are working as they should.
No matter how much technology is added to the planter, it is still the operator's responsibility to verify that seed monitor and control systems are working properly. Jennings always suggests a true field check after farmers make any adjustments to the planter.
"I recommend a full 1/1000th acre field check when any settings or adjustments change," says Jennings. "The extra 15 min. it takes to dig up those seeds is an inexpensive insurance policy."
If these tasks are performed before planting, it ensures that farmers will be ready to plant when weather permits.

It's taken just over a year, but against Brighton & Hove Albion, Andy Carroll finally stood up.
Having lived in the shadow of Luis Suarez since the pair's respective January transfer window moves last winter, Carroll had yet to get off the ground at Anfield.
His stunning double against Manchester City worked just as a glimmer of what we'd seen during his Newcastle United career, and until his ruthless showing against Brighton, he's failed to hit those heights again.
But against the Championship promotion hopefuls, Carroll ran riot. In the Premier League, Liverpool had failed to mix using Carroll's physical strength and playing their natural passing game to decent effect, with wins rarely including a crucial intervention from the 23-year-old, and a loss of points pointing towards his shortcomings.
At Anfield, Carroll was allowed to bully Liverpool into the quarter-finals. Unmatched in the air by Adam El-Abd, Gordon Greer or Lewis Dunk, while his movement pulled the Albion rearguard constantly out of position.
His goal typified his afternoon's work. After dropping the ball into Steven Gerrard's path, he span in behind, waiting for Stewart Downing to gain a crossing position, before his superior movement helped him escaped Dunk as he smashed home.
It was the first example, in the red of Liverpool, of Carroll possessing the attributes of the all-round forward he can become. Previously he's looked lethargic, but against Brighton there appeared no stopping him.
His clever header to set up Luis Suarez capped off a marvellous 90 minutes for the England international, whose form will have to continue if he's make Stuart Pearce's squad for the friendly with Holland, let along Euro 2012.
The question is, can that form continue? Skeptics will note it has taken a match-up against a Gus Poyet's newly promoted Brighton to yield his finest Liverpool showing.
But if confidence is the factor with Fernando Torres, another suffering from stage fright following a January move, then why shouldn't Carroll be boosted by his recent showing, regardless of the opposition?
Either way, Liverpool fans will be hoping Carroll's career can take flight after destroying the Seagulls.

NOTE: Late Friday, the Supervisors added a motion to the Tuesday meeting to close the public hearing and put off the stormwater fee. In other words, they listened to the people. Good for them.
After thousands of Los Angeles County residents in January turned up – either in person or via letters — to shoot down a proposal for an annual stormwater cleanup fee, the Board of Supervisors wisely put off the decision. But not forever.
The fee returns to the board on Tuesday, along with some options for revision that the board requested at the January hearing. The main decision before it will be whether to put this to a vote, and, if so, then how: to all county voters or just property owners, via a relatively cheap mail-in ballot or a much pricier general election?
The choice should be simple: Put this fee off again — and this time forever.
It's not that the fundamental idea of Clean Water, Clean Beaches is flawed. Supporters of the measure, such as Heal the Bay and other environmental groups, note that seven of the state's 10 most polluted beaches sit in L.A. County. Anyone who has looked closely at the L.A. River — or smelled it — knows the concerns about polluted waterways are very real.
As well, Southern California wastes an alarming amount of free, usable water by not having a significant stormwater collection system in place. It's true that Angelenos on their own have started saving rainwater with backyard buckets and cisterns, but the region needs a much larger and coordinated effort to make any serious impact on the looming water crisis.
The problems are in the timing and the method of the — let's just call it what it is — tax measure.
The measure would collect an estimated $295 million a year from residential, commercial, industrial and even public properties through an annual "fee." Residential property owners would pay about $54 a year. Other parcels would range greatly based on usage — a big-box store, for example, would pay $11,000 a year. School districts would get hit with yearly bills in the millions, which is why many of them, including the largest, Los Angeles Unified School District, have been at the forefront of the protest.
The economy is definitely improving, and Prop. 30 — the statewide temporary tax hike passed in November — means that school districts didn't have to cut billions from their budgets this year. But nor do they have millions to take out of their budgets to pour into a massive water cleanup.
Then there's the lack of a project list. Because of the way this program is structured — the money is divided up for local agencies and governments to pay for their own clean water efforts — it isn't possible to guarantee a specific list of projects, just model projects.
That's a problem. The public has little faith that giving their city council or any other local government a blank check for undefined water cleanup projects will be money well spent.
Finally, the initial public aspect of this was so bungled it's unlikely it can overcome any small improvements the supes could make on Tuesday. The public was put off by the fact that there was little discussion of the stormwater project before the first mailed communication. By last Wednesday, the county had received 112,134 protests of the fee, or 5 percent of property owners. Considering that the initial notice mailed to 2.2 million county property owners looked like so much junk mail, that's an astonishing amount of response.
Still, it's not enough to block an election; that would take the protest of more than 50 percent — or 1.1 million — of parcel owners. But it should give the five county supervisors pause enough to put this particular measure aside for now.
There are other reasons, not the least of which was the defeat last week of a half-percent sales tax measure by Los Angeles city voters. If city voters won't tax themselves to avoid cuts to basic services, it's a stretch to believe county voters would say yes to a tax that doesn't even have any specific projects attached to it.
We'd like to see clean waterways and a decrease in the number of toxins and trash dumped into oceans. We'd like to see a much more robust effort to collect rainwater. There is a right way — and a right time – to do it. This isn't it. Try again.

Bangalore, Nov 30: BJP leader and former Karnataka Chief Minister BS Yeddyurappa is all set to resign from the party and his assembly membership today, severing his 40-year-old association with it.
"I will go in a march along with my supporters to Vidhana Soudha (Assembly) at 12 noon and submit resignation to my assembly membership", Mr Yeddyurappa, who has rejected calls to remain in BJP, told reporters at Shikaripura, his home town in Shimoga district.
The 70-year-old Lingayat leader is credited with bringing BJP to power in Karnataka, making it as the first ever party government in the south.
Mr Yeddyurappa's exit is expected to put the BJP at a crossroads, but the party leaders have put up a brave face saying it will have no impact.
He asserted that he was firm on his resolve to launch his new regional party "Karnataka Janata Party" (KJP), which would formally come into existence on December 9 at Haveri.
"I have asked Ministers, MPs and MLAs not to attend the party launch. I want Chief Minister Jagadish Shettar led ministry to complete its term", Mr Yeddyurappa said in a bid to avoid any disciplinary action by BJP against his supporters.
Mr Yeddyurppa and his loyalists have been claiming that at least 50 legislators were keen on joining KJP.
All efforts by top BJP leadership including its President Nitin Gadkari and senior leader Arun Jaitley to prevent the "worst", failed to pacify the agitated Mr Yeddyurappa, who was axed from chief ministership in 2011 in the wake of allegations of corruption.
Mr Yeddyurappa turned more belligerent after BJP rebuffed his repeated attempts to regain chief ministership and refused to at least make him the state unit party chief. Enraged over what he called as 'betrayal' by his party leaders, Mr Yeddyurappa decided to bid a good bye to BJP and float his regional party.
Bookanakere Siddalingappa Yeddyurappa began his political stint when he was elected as president of the Shikaripura Taluk erstwhile Jana Sangha in 1972 and won his first assembly poll in 1983.

David Geffen: American Masters Notoriously press and camera-shy, David Geffen reveals himself for the first time in this unflinching portrait of a complex and compelling man. His far-reaching influence -- as agent and manager, record industry mogul, Hollywood and Broadway producer, billionaire philanthropist -- helped shape American popular culture for the past four decades. He launched the early successes of Joni Mitchell, Crosby, Stills and Nash, Jackson Browne, Tom Cruise and Guns N' Roses; he co-founded DreamWorks, the first new Hollywood studio in more than 50 years; he produced "Cats" and "Dreamgirls"; he is one of the largest contributors to the fight against AIDS and has become an important political voice.

Rock Prophecies Featuring unexpected turns and transcendent performances, ROCK PROPHECIES goes behind the ropes and beyond the green rooms to view rock 'n' roll through the eyes of prolific photographer Robert M. Knight. He launched his 40-year career in 1968 with a line-up of now-legendary guitar heroes - Jeff Beck, Jimi Hendrix and Led Zeppelin - as his first subjects, and went on to capture images of some of the greatest figures in rock 'n' roll history. During the documentary, many of Knight's subjects (also friends) share their thoughts about the photographer in exclusive, illuminating interviews, including Jeff Beck, Slash, Kenny Wayne Shepherd, ZZ Top, Robert Cray, Carlos Santana, Def Leppard and many others.

I think it's time to have a little bit of fun. Just like last week, Nokia has released some more memes to make fun of its competitors.
Last week, Nokia released memes that targeted the world's largest smartphone manufacturer, Samsung over Galaxy S4 Zoom lens, along with a wide range of products and their cameras that do not perform very well in low-light conditions. Today, they have released yet a number of memes to make fun of other smartphones, specifically their Android competitors.
Maybe, the aim of the company was to make people laugh but they were also trying to get the point across that Samsung Galaxy S4 may not the device worth buying due to its bulky size. And I must say I have to agree with it. You can check out the complete list of memes here.
Check out some of the memes below:
On a serious note, I think rather than making a mockery of other manufacturers, the Finns should devote their energies on making a Windows Phone 8 device that can give some real competition to Apple and other smartphone manufacturers. No doubt, its gaining popularity with the Lumia devices but it is still nowhere near to the place where Apple and Samsung are right now.

Party central: Big house has the makins'
SIZE: 4,000 square feet unfinished, 1,700 unfinished
ADDRESS: Little Pond Lane
NEIGHBORHOOD: Palmyra
CURB APPEAL: 5 out of a possible 10
LISTED BY: John Ince of Charlottesville Country Properties, Ltd. * 964-0406
Virginia loves its brick. Stately mansions sit like monarchs in red clay grandeur all over the state. Whereas most people probably aren't quite sure exactly where brick comes from, the builders of this house knew that they wanted brick and where they could get it. Somerset Brick Plant in Orange County has been mining soft clay for the express purpose of making bricks since 1952 and provided all the bricks for the 1996 Olympic stadium in Atlanta. This house was crafted from the last firing for those Olympian bricks.
The house sits far off the road. A large pond provides a focal point other than the back of the two houses located in front. The thick gravel driveway leads directly to the most obvious entrance to the house a side door. (Front doors now seem relegated to strangers, Jehovah's Witnesses, or traveling salesmen.) But it really doesn't seem to matter, because once inside, you're smitten by the lived-in opulence and warmth that obviously provide many moments of family joy. Standing in the huge kitchen and dining area, one can easily imagine a Thanksgiving of epic proportions with ubiquitous happy grandparents and grandchildren.
Directly beyond that, the living area rests squarely in the center of the house. Because it's open on all sides, including to the second floor hallway, one can sit here and interact with anyone in the house wherever they may be. A wall of windows opens up to a glass and brick patio with a view of the pool. A full wet bar takes up one corner where one imagines the ingredients of a perfectly stirred martini waiting for the master's touch.
From here the rest of the house stretches out in a confounding amount of space. The first floor master suite is almost a house unto itself, with room to move around or even dance around if the mood strikes. French doors open to an interior patio, providing a hint of privacy. On a summer's morning one could rise, grab a cup of coffee, and take a dip in the pool without waking the rest of the household. Upstairs, bedroom after bedroom unfolds, joined by the wide hallway that looks down to the living area.
At one corner, though, and above the three-car garage, the agent pointed out the "bonus" room. Currently used as a craft/painting studio, it looks like the largest and most lived-in space. The pristine condition of the entire house is evident in the thick white wall-to-wall carpeting. Although we surreptitiously scanned for telltale signs of that Virginia clay or a paint drop, none could be found. Stenciled walls, painted furniture, and photographs covered all available space, giving the illusion of lots of activity.
The basement's finished and unfinished areas have a more mottled carpet that hides stains this is where kids of all ages obviously play. Walking through the labyrinthine hallways, getting our bearings straight was the only obstacle to finding the exit. It would be hard to think of all this room used on a regular basis, but for those special occasions, it seems as though country living can't get much better.
From outside, the house points westward, guaranteeing a grand sunset view from the 10X50-foot front porch. Two ponds stocked with citation gamefish (not a violation, but an award) have produced trophy bass up to eight pounds. You could hole up here for months hunting, catching, and growing your own food, although one imagines that wasn't the original intention. It's a party palace made for people who enjoy and indulge in the finer things. If only liquor stores delivered...

Daughter-in-law has the shower curtain, which she loves, and thought I'd get the hand towel to go with it. Didn't give it to her. The photo shows the entire towel, not what it looks like folded. When folded you only see some of the "splatters" on the bottom. If you turn it around the zebra's head is upside down. The way it's currently being produced, it isn't a suitable image for a hand towel.

Michiguide.com will no longer be updated or maintained on a regular basis. The site will remain essentially static for an undetermined amount of time as a resource, albeit a very admittedly outdated one.
The primary reason for this decision is that my interests have shifted since this site was started in 1997. Instead of enjoying the time spent to maintain it, updating Michiguide has become as much of a drudgery for me as it has for readers that now choose to get their information from social media.
Thank you for all the clicks and support over the years.

After this sink or swim chapter. I have prepared a character transcript.---
Haruto:-----Full marks to Haruto for his guts and effort and for being resolute enough to reject Kotone and making that scary face at the annoying Kanzaki
Nanami:-----Looks like she has completely given up on Haruto and no longer harbours any romantic feelings for him. So she deserves praise for calmly accepting that in reality Haruto and Eba always loved each other .
Kanzaki:----Kanzaki-Senpai got pawned and a devious arrogant jerk like that deserves no better
Kotone:-----Kotone can have my sympathy but she brought this on herself by imagining hints of Haruto liking her when there were none. So hope she finds someone nice
Eba:------ Eba.......is a self-centered coward! enough said.

Well Eba did run off when she went back to Tokyo that one time with Haruto. So I guess she does have a spineless streak in her. Like I posted earlier we need the devious Rin back in for a couple chapters. However, I got this strange feeling that Nanami is going to play a part in the upcoming chapters. Whether it's to set Eba straight or rekindle something with Haruto. The way they ended things wasn't that cut an dry. Hmm could be just me...

Haruto grow up some testicles!! he got owned but at least he confess
Now there can happen 2 things:
a) Kikukawa getting "catched" in her rejected feelings state by Sucker A (aka kanzaki-sempai), rest of guys stare at them and there start some new arc (like haruto getting a job, eba exams, rin appears, some random crap, etc)
b) They go back to the bonfire, someone ask about the runaway and both answer like it was a mistake or the "we are just friends" speech, Kikukawa dont withdraw and start some seduction over haruto getting eba and nanami jealous (last one more like an unpleasant feeling) and there go 20 chapters of useless love comedy
personally i would like a nice boat ending where kikukawa go berserk and kill them all

I doubt that the drama's over yet. One of them will eventually accept a date or something along the way making the other jealous. Since we know she doesn't have feelings whatsoever for "Senpai", I'm thinking he'll go after glasses girl at some point in the future, her story arc clearly hasn't ended yet and we haven't seen any sign of her moving towards that other guy from the planning committee yet.

Poor Haruto....denied from a self centered chick.
With the way Eba is doing 100% Self Centered thinking i do NOT approve of a Haruto X Eba relationship. If she went back to thinking about BOTH of them and the feelings that accompany them I will change my opinion.

She is actually the girl that will make a perfect match for Haruto, a girl he can always bail from problems and can fullfill his hero complex.

Talking about perfect match for Haruto, I think he will get bullied either by Eba, Nanami, or the girl that wears glasses when he chooses one of them...those three are just a league above him in terms of playing mind game...poor Haruto, his life is doomed if he decides to pick one of those 3 girls XD

Now that the confess part is done, i think that it will be more like love comedy where the girls try to steal him from eba but she will keep him (but no dating), maybe some of those sentimental talks like "eba you are keeping him because you are a ****" or the classic "haruto no baka~!!" + slap in the face .

@golthin, thanks for the info, and do you mind telling me how much time was left for Eba to leave for Tokyo?
Even if he was serious, Eba will never agree because she is a self-centred little princess who barges on other peoples' lives whenever she wishes and leaves when it suits her

As telecommunications shift from voice to data, industry players have had to make huge infrastructure investments to address the ever-increasing volume of information. Additionally, tight regulations and fierce competition put a great pressure on margins.
Companies can fight commoditization and lock customers in by providing compelling value-added services. But mobilizing resources to innovate and deploy successful value-added services can be a daunting task.

A story out of Houston is causing quite the "stink" on social media. A mother and her three children were kicked out of a Spring restaurant after she changed a diaper at the table.
Miranda Sowers told KHOU-TV that she took her 4-month old into the bathroom at the restaurant and there was no changing table.
"I thought, you know what, I've got my own changing pad, she's tiny, she fits right here on the chair." she told KHOU. "So I laid her down quickly and quietly changed her diaper."
Sowers had two other children with her and didn't want to drag all three kids out to the car to change the baby's diaper.
The restaurant said other customers complained about the smell of the diaper.
Here's a thought...if you don't want people changing diapers in your establishment, perhaps you should provide for them a place to do it.
What's a mother supposed to do, you ask? Here are a few suggestions from the comment section of this online story:
"You should know to carry a little blanket to change your baby on the restroom floor."
"She should have gone to the car or sat on the toilet and laid her child across her lap to change the diaper."
"Ask an employee to watch your girls. Or take them outside also."
"There's no reason she couldn't have used the restroom floor or put the toilet seat down to change the baby"
Yeah...because those ideas are safe and sanitary.
Every parent has changed a diaper in their car, lap or some other bizarre place under extenuating circumstances. It would just be nice if businesses made it a little easier on us.
For me, it's all about safety. How safe is it to leave two kids unattended in a restaurant? Or would it be better to let two children stand in a parking lot while you take care of the baby's business in the car?
I'm not saying it's sanitary to change diapers where food is served because that's what restrooms are for. Restrooms with changing tables, that is.

Dear Kiloelectronvolt,If I may comment on one or two points you mentioned.1. A problem with alcoholism. This should not be an impediment. The Holy Eucharist is the Holy Eucharist. It is the Body and Blood of Christ. I know Orthodox who are active in AA and yet commune regularly. It doesn't seem to cause them to fall off the wagon. I don't know if they had a season of struggle or not…but still they received communion regularly. I also know boy, a priest's son who is very allergic to wheat…yet he regularly receives communion and has never been harmed by it or had a bad reaction to my knowledge. Discuss it with your priest. I am sure there is a way forward that when the season comes will not deprive you of the Holy Mysteries.2. You wrote: "Exclusivity, for starters. My status as an unbaptized, un-chrismated heretic keeps me on the outside looking in. I can't participate in the Divine Liturgy, so once Orthros is finished I feel like a goat among sheep. This can't go on much longer."This is actually an excellent place to be. I remember the gap between the time I wanted to convert and the time I was allowed to convert 3 years later. It allowed me to own the fact that I had indeed been a heretic outside…at the very least the formal bounds of the Church. I was outside the church looking in with no other place to go and the door firmly closed against me…primarily because there were no Orthodox churches near me in order to receive catechism and allow me to participate in parish life. It was saddening at first, but it turned out to be an excellent lesson in humility…to put my hope in God and let Him work out the times and seasons. I could not demand my way in, or beg my way in…I had to wait until the door opened and invited me in. But God was merciful. That day did come…and I'm grateful it came later, than sooner.3. You said your priest strikes you as little interested in your conversion or is perhaps a bit dismissive. Be careful about jumping to conclusions. I have heard of priests deliberately being stand offish with new potential converts. They make them wait…fight (metaphorically)…struggle to enter. This is to be sure this desire is not a passing religious whimsy, and they want to see if you are the sort who is easily discouraged…who will give up if they don't get their way quickly. They are looking for soldiers for Christ, not weekend enthusiasts. It may be a little hard on the ego…but gentle persistence…keeping on knocking in hope will in its time will draw down God's grace and the door will open there or elsewhere…even if the priest really is disinterested and not testing you…God is watching and it is He Who through that priest or some other will say "come in and welcome home. The Master calleth. Come and dine." Keep your hand outstretched to the Master's threshold. The door will open…even if that day comes when you lay shattered in your own human weakness. The Master is the Lord of Life. He will revive and vindicate your patience. He will honor that hand which refused to draw back in despair. Only be patient and humble in your thoughts and faithful in your pursuit of Him. He sees and He will not tarry forever.In the meantime follow your prayer rule, keep in touch with your priest, ask questions, read good books, develop salvic friendships with others at your parish. If possible communicate with some monastics…and if your priest blesses maybe even go and visit. What you will gain while you wait you will later not trade for gold.
Another update: a couple of weeks ago, after coming to terms with the fact that I'm not so important or special as I'd like to be and that the priest's time is much more valuable than mine, I finally found some humility and called him. I asked him for an appointment to talk about my future with the Orthodox Church – if I even have a future with it. I explained that I would like to officially be on the path toward becoming Orthodox. He laughed amiably and replied that I WAS on the path, and had been for some time. That turned out to be ridiculously simple. He cheerfully agreed to meet with me after Vespers the next Saturday evening, and he recommended that I begin watching an eight-disc DVD set of inquirers' classes. When I finish, he said, we'll go from there.I don't know if I'm a catechumen or not, but I feel like something's happening and it feels right. Why do I overcomplicate things? Why do I let my ego get in the way of everything, try to make everything about me all the time, even when I know better and can see it in myself while I'm doing it? Nobody needs to answer those, but I truly hope Christ removes those shortcomings from me.Anyhoo, I thought it only right to post for those of you who helped me and advised me, especially after all my previous whining.

The Standard Model Higgs boson may be mixed
with another scalar that does not couple singly to gauge bosons or fermions.
The electroweak quantum numbers of such an additional scalar can be determined
by measuring the quartic Higgs-Higgs-vector-vector couplings, which
contribute—along with the coveted triple Higgs coupling—to double Higgs
production in e+e− collisions. We show that simultaneous sensitivity
to the quartic Higgs-Higgs-vector-vector coupling and the triple Higgs coupling
can be obtained using measurements of the double Higgs production cross section
at two different e+e− center-of-mass energies. Kinematic
distributions of the two Higgs bosons in the final state could provide
additional discriminating power.

Saturday, September 15, 2012 (Springfield, Massachusetts) - Mount Ida College football senior quarterback Scott Drosendahl (East Aurora, NY/East Aurora) launched five touchdown passes going 21-30 through the air for 280 yards, but it wasn't enough as the Mustangs dropped their first loss of the season to hosting non-league foe Springfield College Saturday afternoon falling 49-42 on Amos Alonzo Stagg Field.
The Mustangs fall for the first time in 2012 with an overall record of 2-1 with their first Eastern Collegiate Football Conference (ECFC) match-up coming in two weeks (Saturday, September 29, 2012) at Alumni Field on Homecoming against rival Norwich University with game time slated for 1:00 p.m.
Mount Ida had a two touchdown advantage through nearly three quarters of play but could not hold on due to three final scores by the visitors in a matter of six minutes all from Pride running back Mike Davis (Madison, CT) who collected four TD's on the afternoon with 191 total yards on the ground.
Davis accounted for 184 yards rushing, including TD scores of 62, 19, 52, and 13 yards. His 62-yarder came in the second quarter, giving SC a 21-14 lead at the time. His last three came with 2:28 left in the third quarter, drawing the Pride to within 42-35; with 14:49 remaining in the game, tying the score at 42-all; and with 11:27 left, giving SC the lead for good at 49-42.
The game was a roller-coaster ride for both teams. In the first half, each squad scored four touchdowns, and the game was tied at 14-all after one quarter, and at 28-all at the half.
In the third quarter, the Mustangs scored twice -- with 8:45 left and 3:19 left -- to give Mount Ida a 42-28 lead.
But then Davis struck for his three consecutive scores and the Pride's defense made some big plays down the stretch to preserve the victory.
In today's game, Mount Ida produced 526 total yards to SC's 407. In rushing, the Pride had 397 yards to the Mustangs' 246. But through the air, Mount Ida passed for 280 yards to SC's 10.
Mount Ida dominated time of possession, 38:23 to 21:37, running 75 plays to SC's 55.
On the ground, sophomore running Chris McNally (Bourne, MA/Bourne) carried the workload for the Mustangs. He ran for 112 yards on 21 totes. Also for Mount Ida, freshman running back Melquan Pinkney (Springfield, MA/Putnam) ran for 75 yards and one TD on 10 carries, and senior WR Matt Valentini (Lake Hopatcong, NJ/Jefferson TWP) ran for another 73 yards on just three carries, including a 73-yarder on a fake punt. Although Drosendahl had a good day in the air he spent some time on the ground being sacked five times adding two interceptions as well late in the action
For Mount Ida, two players had nine tackles. They were sophomore Kalyn Smithson (Vilseck, Germany/Vilseck) and junior LB Carlous Julien (Fort Pierce, FL/Indian River Street College). Smithson also had half a tackle-for-loss. Mount Ida defensive end A.J. Knibbs (Spotswood, NJ/Spotswood) added 6.5 tackles while junior defensive back Frank Greene (Poughkeepsie, NY/Poughkeepsie) added an interception that set the Mustangs up deep in SC territory eventually giving Mount Ida a two score lead at that point.
For the Pride, three others had good days rushing the ball. They included sophomore QB Rob Merckling (Melville, NY) with 78 yards and one TD, senior FB Joel Altavesta (Tewksbury, MA) with 68 yards and two TDs, and freshman FB Lou Fenaroli (Newtown, CT) with 48 yards on only fve carries.
Merckling threw only two passes on the afternoon, completing one and having one picked off
Also for SC, five players were credited with five tackles or more. They included sophomore LB Mike Dublin (Portsmouth, RI) with a team-high 13 stops, including three tackles-for-loss; sophomore LB Danny Macalena (Congers, NY) with 12 tackles, including one sack and two tackles-for-loss; senior LB Kevin Shields (Melville, NY) with 11 tackles, one sack, two tackles-for-loss, and one forced fumble; freshman cornerback Anthony West (Mattapan, MA) with nine tackles, one fumble recovery and one interception; and junior LB Corey Kaiser (River Vale, NJ) with nine tackles. West's interception came with 46 seconds left in the fourth quarter, clinching the victory. Junior safety Sam Weiss (Glasser, NJ) also had an important interception with 13 seconds left in the third quarter, which led to Davis' game-tying TD early in the fourth.

Companies set to lose billions over coal seam gas rules
The new state government rules banning coal seam gas activity close to suburbs, country towns and some rural industries is expected to rule out projects that gas companies have valued at billions of dollars.
While a precise figure is unknown, and coal seam gas drilling bodies scramble to understand the ruling, hundreds of proposed gas wells, producing gas roughly estimated to be worth about $4 billion, fall within the banned zones.
The main coal seam gas industry body said the new ruling "ignores science", and said it had requested an emergency meeting with the premier, Barry O'Farrell.
The state's cabinet agreed on Monday afternoon to ban all coal seam gas activity within two kilometres of residential areas. This morning the government clarified how the new rules would apply to critical industry clusters such as horse breeders and wine producers.
A spokesman for Mr O'Farrell said coal seam gas activity would be banned within the cluster areas identified in the government's strategic regional land use policy, but a 2km buffer zone would not apply.
The premier said city suburbs, country towns and other urban areas would become "no-go zones" for coal seam gas. If strictly applied, this ruling would appear to cover large portions of most of the state's gas fields.
The state's chief scientist and engineer, Mary O'Kane, will review all coal seam gas activity in NSW and report on any risks by July, while the Environment Protection Authority will be given responsibility for enforcing compliance.
The gas industry body, the Australian Petroleum Production and Exploration Association, said the ban would lead to higher energy prices.
"With long-term gas supply contracts due to expire from next year, today's decision creating no-go zones will strangle efforts to safely source natural gas," the group's spokesman, Rick Wilkinson, said in a statement.
"The NSW Government keeps shifting the goal posts through a red tape laden decision-making process that ignores science and the commendable environmental record of an industry that has been operating in Australian for more than 40 years," Mr Wilkinson said.
"The fact that NSW's primary source of natural gas has safely operated in western Sydney for more than a decade has somehow been lost in recent days."
The ban will apply to any coal seam gas proposal that has yet to be approved under the Environment Protection and Assessment Act or the Petroleum (Onshore) Act.
Metgasco, which is proposing major drilling in a gas field in the Northern Rivers region of NSW, said the new regulations could impair its plans for up to 1000 gas wells. The company has spoken in terms of a $2 billion project.
"The details of these changes are not yet clear but they could have a significant impact on Metgasco's Northern Rivers CSG operations," the company said in a statement to the Australian Stock Exchange on Tuesday morning.
"Metgasco understands that there will be a one month consultation process before the changes are finalised," it said. "Metgasco has requested an urgent meeting with the NSW Government to better understand the changes and express our concern about the potential impact on Metgasco and NSW's natural gas supply and business environment, including its manufacturing industry."
Comment was being sought from Santos, Dart Energy, and other drilling companies that have proposals that could be affected.
The NSW Farmers' Association said the ruling went half way towards banning mining and drilling in sensitive areas, but called for an approach that applied those rules consistently across the state.
"NSW Farmers has consistently advocated for a measured approach to mining and CSG policy. We believe there are places in this state that are too priceless to put at risk through mining and gas activities," said the association's president, Fiona Simson.
"Today, the O'Farrell Government has reached the same conclusion but hasn't extended that to our food and fibre producing lands. We think nothing should be more important."
The new rules caused anger in some rural communities, which have so far seen the worst of the disputes between residents and gas drilling companies.
"Barry O'Farrell said that families in residential areas should not have to worry about their quality of life being affected by noise and visual impacts - but what about our families? Why should we be treated differently?" said Penny Blatchford, a spokeswoman for one group, Bellata Gurley Action Group Against Gas, near Narrabri.
"If coal seam gas is unsafe in Campbelltown, then it is unsafe everywhere; if coal seam gas is a risk to wine-growing and horse-breeding areas in the Hunter Valley, then it is a risk to our food and fibre producing areas in the north-west," Ms Blatchford said.
"What do we have to do to force this government to protect our farms and businesses - plant vines and build stables?"
A spokeswoman for the Lock The Gate Alliance, Carmel Flint, said there should be a moratorium on drilling scross the state until risks were quantified.
"There are a number of CSG licences in the north-west that are soon to be renewed by the NSW Government, including controversial licences over Bellata, the Pilliga, Coonamble and the Liverpool Plains," Ms Flint said.
The Nature Conservation Council of NSW, representing over a hundred environment groups, said the new regulations were an improvement but still left many issues unresolved.
"Given the comprehensive failure of the strategic regional land use process, and the litany of broken promises that accompanied it, the community is entitled to remain sceptical about the government's appetite for further reform," the council's chief executive, Pepe Clarke.
The council said it was concerned that drinking water catchments, including Sydney's catchment, were still subject to coal seam gas drilling proposals.
The Greens also endorsed the change but said it should be extended state-wide.
"It's just common sense that you don't turn residential areas into gas fields, but the same protection should be implemented for our water catchments, aquifers and farm land," said a NSW Greens MP, Jeremy Buckingham said.

Weddle's Syndicated Content:
They've Changed the Definition of Qualified
Many of you in transition have had the same confounding experience. You apply for an opening where you're a perfect match with its stated requirements and then hear absolutely nothing back. Ironically, many of you who hold a job are also having the same experience. Your work meets every requirement stated in your employer's position description, yet you still get only mediocre performance appraisals. What's going on?
Employers have changed the definition of "qualified." Without warning or notification, they have altered what it means to be a :"qualified applicant" and a "qualified performer." What's that mean? Regardless of whether you're in transition or in a job, you're now also in the dark.
In employers' defense, many of them aren't even conscious of what they've done. They haven't told you about this critical change or codified it in their recruitment ads and position descriptions because they aren't aware of having made the change. They're instituting a lot of adjustments in order to be competitive in today's unforgiving global economy, and that leaves them little time to understand the implications of any one of them.
You, however, can't ignore those implications. This one change will determine your ability to compete successfully for a new job or to work successfully at the job you already have. You have to know the new definition of "qualified" because that's the only way you can ensure you measure up.
So, how do you reposition yourself to ensure employers will now see you as "qualified?"
Historically, the definition of "qualified" has been competence. If you were in transition, you simply had to prove that you were able to do a job. And if you were employed, you simply had to prove you did the job as specified by your employer. Today, that's no longer enough.
Stretching Beyond Competence
The driving dynamic in today's fiercely competitive global economy is neither cheap labor nor hard work. It's smart labor. It's workers around the world who are better educated and higher skilled than ever before.
Smart labor integrates hard work with state-of-the-art knowledge. Experience is still important, but it no longer compensates for out-of-date capabilities. In essence, competence has been replaced by expertise.
Employers now want exactly the same thing from both a "qualified candidate" and a "qualified performer." They are looking for people who will not only do a job, but excel at it. They need workers who are smart enough to compete with and out-perform the smart workers who are employed by other companies, both overseas and here in the United States.
How do you prove you're a "smart worker?"
First, you have to believe in yourself. You have to be convinced that you are able to deliver superior performance on-the-job.
Second, you have to make that belief real. You have to ensure that your knowledge and skills are at the leading edge in your field.
What's the single best way to do that? Be engaged in continuous learning. Whether you're unemployed and looking for a job or employed and looking to hang onto the job you have, whether you're a senior executive with years of experience or a recent college or technical school graduate with no experience, whether you have 500 connections on LinkedIn or just 5 friends on Facebook, you have to be in school all of the time.
I realize that's an unsettling assertion. If you've been in the workplace for awhile - it's totally different from what you've experienced to date. And if you've just graduated from college - it's undoubtedly different from what you've been told. It is, however, the truth. The definition of "qualified" has changed, and, therefore, so must you.
This requirement may seem unfair. It may feel onerous or exhausting. It may frustrate and discourage you. But the one thing it can't do is prevent you from being successful. We all can learn, and that means we all have the inherent capacity to be equal to and even better than the new definition of qualified. You just have to decide you will.

text: I am stuck with the problem of keeping our house and renting a place. My husband cannot leave his job, and since I hope to come back to this area to work, we don't plan to sell our house. So, we are trying to figure out how this is all going to work. I will probably end up living in a closet during law school so that we can make ends meet. Anyway, I agree that buying, selling, or keeping a house right now is all stressful. Best of luck to everyone with their housing plans for the fall.
