715 Island Ave, Mc Kees Rocks, PA | Directions 1513640.472961 -80.062174
Neighborhoods: McKees Rocks
island tatoo has the worst customer service. – I wont even give this company any stars at all. I called to see if they sold tatoo supplies because where my dad is from in canada they sell supplies in tatoo parlers, but the girl was very nasty and rude when i called to ask if she sold them and i asked her where a supply store was in the area as my dads a tatoo artist and wanted to pick up a few things or see what kind of supplies they have in the area and she contiunues to be very rude.. so i will not reccomend this place to anyone.. It was the worst customer service i have ever experienced anywhere in my life!!!
AWESOME WORK!!!!!!! – I got my first tattoo at Island Avenue when I was 18 - since then, I have not gotten a tattoo ANYWHERE that was even close to as good in regards to quality - and I have MANY tattoos.
The staff are professional, polite, and friendly - and all of them are AMAZING artists...they work with you to create a perfect, unique design...unless you're picking flash art, no one will be walking around with your tat!!
So far, Jim has created one amazing rib cage and is currently working on my backpiece - free hand!! I can't begin to describe how incredibly talented he and his staff are.
I take my friends, family, and refer everyone i talk to that wants a tattoo...it's that good. :)
Best Tattoo I ever got!!!! – My experience at Island Ave. Tattoo was beyond great!! I walked in on sat. with an idea of a start of a sleeve no picture just a thought in my head.. Jim put it all together for me.. He is doing an awsome job on my arm!!I cant wait till my last sitting.. He is a very down to earth guy.. You can tell he takes pride in his work.. He did work on my family and they told me about Island Ave tattoo and im so supper happy they did. My sleeve is going to be so freaking awsome!! Thank you Island Ave Tattoo. You guys are the best EVER!!!!
Best Tattoos & Piercings In Pittsburgh! – Island Avenue Tattoo is one of the oldest tattoo shops in the Pittsburgh area for a reason. The people there know their s**t. Not only are are they extremely talented, they are very helpful, friendly, patient, and above all they want the customer to be thrilled with whatever tattoo or piercing they get no matter what it is. The shop is very clean and you can tell that keeping things sterile is a very important part of things there. Jim Allchin has been my tattoo artist and Coco my piercer for a long time now and I will never go anywhere else!
Love it! – I am not from Pittsburgh. Someone recommended Island Tattoo to my cousin. She got her first tattoo there by Mike. The first time we went in Jim went over my cousins's thoughts and desires for her artwork she wanted done. She is a little indecisive but he was really, really patient with her. I appreciated that a lot. She went back in and got her tat, and she is thrilled with the work Mike did. Mike answered every question and also gave her the entire run-down on how to take care of the tattoo.
I got my nose repierced by Coco in the Zen Room (that's what I call it). It was a very relaxing atmosphere. Coco knew I was nervous (anxiety) and she was so kind to me. She was extremely funny and easy to talk to. I will go back to her to get the rest of my piercings. She also did everything by the book. There was no concern at any time about cleanliness. I never worried about any time of side-effect or infection. She gave me all the paperwork on how to take care of the piercing and what to do if I had anything go wrong. She was very thorough.
I don't go to a Tattoo Shop to get my ego stroked. I don't go to hear everything I want to hear. I want someone to tell me, yes, that's going to work, that's going to look good, or it's not. People that work at Island Tattoo aren't going to do work that they won't be proud of. After seeing so much terrible artwork over the years, and after reviewing the work Island has done, I will refer them to everyone I know.
Back In Biz – Anyone who has been in Island Ave. Tattoo knows that Jim is one of the coolest most down to earth people you'll ever meet. He has been my artist for over 10 years. It seems to me that these are the words of a jealous artist that can't hold a candle to the beautiful work that Jim puts out
NEVER EVER AGAIN – Coco is the greatest woman you will ever meet.. But it never fails the owner Jim always has to say something smart or just be completely rude as ever. If you dont like people you shouldnt have a business. Being a business owner you should never ever disrespect your customers that hasnt done a damn thing to you. HE NEEDS SOME ANGER MANAGEMENT AND SOME PEOPLE SKILLS!! I PERSONALLY AND A FEW OTHERS WILL NEVER GO BACK THERE GOOD LUCK COCO AND EVERYONE ELSE WHO WORKS THERE DEALING WITH HIS RUDE A** SELF
Fantastic Folks! – I was visiting my family in Pittsburgh and had promised my niece since she was 14 that I would go with her to get her first tattoo when she turned 18--well, in Feb. she turned 18! We ended up at Island Ave by pure luck..and we're glad we DID! Everyone was awesome and my niece is super happy with her ink---I, too, got some work done by Jim and took it back to Maine with me as a great souvinier!!! I would definately go back to see them anytime I visit my relatives, again!!! AWESOME place!!!!
Best piercing place – I have many piercings but I wanted more of a personal one. I talked to my friend and she said to go to coco.
I wanted more of a personal piercing. I talked to my friend and she said to go to coco. I went there and let me tell you coco was do nice and understanding she talked me through it. The room you are in is so relaxing and makes you feel at home! Coco was so nice! She made sure I understood and said if I needed anything she was only a call away. She unlike others talked to us for am hour! I will be going back!
BEST TATTOOS YOU CAN GET!!! – I havent had a tat in 10 years....I called Island Ave and talked to COCO....she was sooooo very helpful with all the info I needed about my tat....then when I got there....I showed Jim Allchin (Owner) what I wanted and what my ideas were for my tat and he gave me his input and his ideas and it was the best thing I could have ever done!!!! His vison of my tat and the colors are incredible! He has such an eye and talent that is just unbelievable! I will never go anywhere else for a tat again....I have been telling everyone I know to see him! I have 2 other tats from other places and now Im having Jim redo them and make them awesome! I also have quite few more that Id like to get and hes very informative on how he thinks they should be done....if you want an excellent quality tat....go see Jim at Island Ave Tattoo!!!!

LeBron James and Savannah Brinson: Engaged!by Hilton Hater at .
LeBron James has made no secret of his admiration for Michael Jordan.
But we didn't realize just how badly The King wanted to be like His Airness. Until now: a few days after Jordon proposed to Yvette Prieto, the Heart superstar did the same to Savannah Brinson, his high school sweetheart and the mother of his two children.
The proposal took place at a New Year's Eve party at Shelborne South Beach's SL Nightclub in Miami, sources confirm, a day after James turned 27 years old.
"Congrats to LeBron. @KingJames and Savannah so happy 4 u guys," Miami Heat owner Micky Arison Tweeted last night.

What is your financial aid eligibility at Pomona
Use the Net Price Calculator to estimate your prospective financial aid eligibility at Pomona College.
*The Net Price Calculator is not an official Offer of Financial Aid from Pomona College and in no way constitutes a guarantee of a financial aid award, nor is completion of the Net Price Calculator an application for Financial Aid.
A Commitment to Need-Based Financial Aid
Pomona College is one of a handful of institutions which practice need-blind admissions and provide need-based financial aid. We actively encourage all qualified applicants to consider Pomona, regardless of whether they can afford the full cost of attending. Alumni and other donors continue to support the tradition of access and affordability with generous contributions to the endowment and current use funds which allow us to maintain our long-standing financial aid program. Any family who feels they may need help paying for a Pomona education is welcome to apply for aid. If admitted, applicants can be confident that their full financial need as determined by Pomona's aid office will be met.
Pomona's financial aid is awarded solely based on need; there are no merit scholarships. We consider an applicant's talents and achievements only in relation to admission. Academic and athletic merits are not considered when awarding aid. Need is determined through a careful review of each family's individual financial circumstances. Personal attention is given to every admitted student's aid application. We also take into account special circumstances, and use experience and judgment in determining aid awards. The full need of every admitted student is met for all four years, based on information that we receive from your family each year, through grants and a campus job. No student is required to take a loan to meet the cost of attending Pomona. Still, some families may consider loans to help finance the expected family contribution.
Prospective students applying for financial aid should refer to our Application Deadlines for a comprehensive list of required materials and deadlines. The FAFSA is a free form that determines eligibility for federal aid; the CSS Profile (a fee based application) helps us to determine eligibility for Pomona financial aid.

Our Brazilian Clays are a great way to add all natural color to your handmade projects. These naturally colored clays do not contain any artificial dyes or pigments. The various shades are achieved by variations of the minerals and oligoelements found in the soil in the different regions of Brazil.
These clays are very stable in cold process soap and would be a wonderful addition to clay masks and creams. Although we used 2 tsp brazilian clay per pound of soap in the picture above, a prominent color can be achieved with as little as 1 tsp per pound of soap. The most vibrant color will be seen in soap that has gone through gel-phase.
Usage Rate in Cold Process Soap: 1 to 2 teaspoons of clay per pound of soap.

The Affymetrix GeneChip® Whole Transcript (WT) Sense Target Labeling Assay is designed to generate amplified and biotinylated sense-strand DNA targets from the entire expressed genome without bias. The 1μg Total RNA Labeling Protocol starts with a ribosomal RNA (rRNA) reduction procedure where the 28S and 18S rRNA population is significantly reduced from the total RNA sample, minimizing the background and thereby increasing the array detection sensitivity and specificity. The rRNA reduction becomes critical when a user is interested in high-sensitivity analysis of expression levels for both genes and exons using the GeneChip® Exon 1.0 ST Arrays. This is because exon probe sets contain a smaller number of probes and in some cases selection of those probes is constrained by the limited size of the probe selection region. Therefore, it is imperative to use the high-sensitivity assay for optimal performance. However, the analysis of the gene level benefits from a larger number of high-quality probes selected from the entire transcript, thus the advantage of the additional rRNA reduction step is reduced. Therefore, the 100ng Total RNA Labeling Protocol is acceptable for use with the GeneChip® Gene 1.0 ST Arrays. Experimental turn-around times are usually three to four business days.
From total RNA, double-stranded cDNA is synthesized with random hexamers tagged with a T7 promoter sequence. The double-stranded cDNA is subsequently used as a template and amplified by T7 RNA polymerase, producing many copies of antisense cRNA. In the second cycle of cDNA synthesis, random hexamers are used to prune reverse transcription of the cRNA from the first cycle to produce single-stranded DNA in the sense orientation. In order to reproducibly fragment the single-stranded DNA and improve the robustness of the assay, a novel approach is utilized where dUTP is incorporated in the DNA during the second-cycle, first-strand reverse transcription reaction. This single-stranded DNA sample is then treated with a combination of uracil DNA glycosylase (UDG) and apurinic/apyrimidinic endonuclease 1 (APE 1) that specifically recognizes the unnatural dUTP residues and breaks the DNA strand. The DNA is labeled by terminal deoxynucleotidyl transferase (TdT) with the Affymetrix® proprietary DNA Labeling Reagent that is covalently linked to biotin. Following the recommended procedures, sufficient target is anticipated to be generated for hybridization to a single array.
IsolationThe analysis begins with total RNA that is provided by an investigator. In our practice, isolating total RNA from mammalian tissue using a reagent such as TRIzol followed by additional purification using RNeasy from QIAGEN yields RNA that produces satisfactory microarray data. In addition, successful isolation of total RNA from mammalian cells has been purified and eluted using RNeasy. Modifications of these methods, as well as other methods, are also known to produce suitable total RNA. Please contact our core facility if you are uncertain as to whether an RNA extraction method that you are considering is suitable.
QuantityInvestigators need to provide documentation of sample quantity before experiments begin. All sample quantities are rechecked on the NanoDrop 1000 Spectrophotometer. Once the quantity has been rechecked and verified for each sample, your experiment will begin. If quantity is an issue for any sample, the investigator will be notified immediately to discuss the next course of action.
The 1 or 2μg Total RNA Labeling Protocol requires either 1 or 2μg of total RNA as starting material, where the concentration should not fall below 0.31μg/μL for 1μg or 0.62μg/μL for 2μg. We recommend samples concentrated at 1μg/μL for simplicity. Please provide an extra 2ug of total RNA in addition to the experimental quantity submitted in order to account for the protocol checkpoints and any concentration variations, should your sample concentrations be off.
The 100 to 300ng Total RNA Labeling Protocol requires 100 to 300ng of total RNA as starting material, which should be suspended in a maximum of 3μL of solution in volume. We recommend samples concentrated at 100ng/µL for simplicity. Please provide an extra 200ng of total RNA in addition to the experimental quantity submitted in order to account for the protocol checkpoints and any concentration variations, should your sample concentrations be off.
QualityThe quality of the RNA is essential to the overall success of a gene expression array. The Genomics Core Facility requires an agarose gel picture of the submitted samples that clearly defines the prominent 28S and 18S rRNA bands for each sample. Investigators have to provide this documentation of sample quality before experiments begin. The spectrophotometric absorbances from the NanoDrop 1000 are checked at A260, A280, and A230 nm for each sample. The A260/280 ratios for each sample should be close to 2.0 for pure RNA samples (ratios between 1.7 and 2.1 are acceptable), while the A260/230 ratios for each sample should be between 1.8 and 2.2 for high-quality RNA. In addition, all sample qualities are rechecked on the Agilent 2100 Bioanalyzer. Once the quality has been verified for each sample, your experiment will begin. If quality is an issue for any sample, then the investigator will be notified immediately to discuss the next course of action.

Summary of Hidden Treasure Summary of Hidden Treasure Reviews for Hidden Treasure An Excerpt from Hidden Treasure
An inspiring book from one of our greatest living spiritual teachers.
Just as the life stories of the Buddha and Christ have served those on the spiritual path for millennia, our own lives can serve as important teaching stories. In Hidden Treasure, one of the great spiritual teachers of our time, Gangaji, uses the telling of her own life story to help readers unveil the truth in their own.
Antoinette (Toni) Roberson Varner was given the name Gangaji by her teacher Sri H. W. L. Poonja in 1990. Before that meeting, she had pursued many paths to enlightenment. Raised in the 1950s in the racially divided South, she married young and had a daughter. Following the dissolution of her first marriage, she moved to Northern California and immersed herself in the spiritual culture that was flourishing there; but her efforts to achieve lasting fulfillment ultimately fell short. In the wake of her disillusionment, she made a final prayer for help. The answer to her prayer came unexpectedly, taking her to India and to the meeting that would change everything. On the banks of the River Ganges, she met Poonja, also known as Papaji, who opened her mind to the eternal presence of being.

5 realistic win-now moves.
Posted 23 November 2012 - 12:39 AM
1) Sign Brandon McCarthy
2) Sign Edwin Jackson or Shaun Marcum
3) Sign B.J. Upton
4) Trade Brett Jackson and Dan Vogelbach (and any other mid level prospect it would require if needed) to the Rangers for Mike Olt
5) Sign J.P. Howell to bolster the bullpen
C Castillo
1B Rizzo
2B Barney
SS Castro
3B Olt
LF Soriano
CF Upton
RF DeJesus
SP Garza
SP Samardzija
SP McCarthy
SP Jackson/Marcum
SP Baker
RP Wood
RP Camp
RP Howell
RP Russell
RP Bowden
RP Dolis/Cabrera/Raley/Asencio/Whoever
CL Marmol
OF Sappelt
OF Campana
C Navarro
UTIL Valbuena
? Musical Chair Bench Player... probably another utility guy.
My rudimentary estimations of the following price tags on the signings:
McCarthy - $10-$12 mil per season
E. Jackson - $13-$15 mil per season
Marcum - $9-$11 mil per season
Upton - $15-$17 mil per season
Howell - $2-$4 mil per season
Depending on if you sign Marcum or Jackson that's an estimated increase, per season, of about $44 mil (with Jackson) or $40 mil with Marcum.
It would put the Cubs near the same payroll, give or take, that they started the 2012 season with. If that rotation is healthy it's one of the best in the majors, but it's a big injury risk. The offense gets better with Upton in the lineup (worth 11.5 fWAR the last 3 seasons, underrated IMO), and gives us a cornerstone 3B in Mike Olt who hasa big bat and plays great defense and is under control for a long time. Him and Rizzo at the corners would be humongous for the future.
I had more detailed expalnations with each move, but yeah... bookmark accident :/
Posted 24 November 2012 - 07:56 AM
Addresses the three biggest needs. 3rd, center and 2 starters.
I appreciate your ideas (and can identify with the fat-fingering of a tab button. Happily we get an edit button on the message board--my goofs on the main board (one just this AM) stay there and mock me).
Glad you re-typed. Welcome.
And why Olt? In particular?

Posted 24 November 2012 - 10:22 AM
On the other hand, it never hurts to ask - if we could get him for a bunch of mid-level prospects, that would be a real coup, and I'd be pretty ecstatic.
As for the B.J. Upton signing, I was onboard with that a month or so ago, but the conversations on this site have convinced me that his skills are headed in the wrong direction. He does appear to be getting worse, not better, and I can see him not living up to whatever contract he ends up getting. I'd pass on that move for sure, but agree with you that we certainly could use an upgrade bat for one of our OF positions. I wouldn't mind seeing them get a bona fide leadoff guy that can steal bases and has a high .OBP. Not sure who the best option out there for that would be.
All the other moves you suggested sound good to me, and I'd love to see what that pitching staff could do for a full year if they stayed healthy (which would be the real question mark).
Posted 24 November 2012 - 10:56 AM
1) Why Mike Olt? He's MLB ready, but he's blocked by Adrian Beltre. I, too, don't think Jackson and Vogelbach would be enough to pry him away, but it's tough to gauge Texas' value on him. Personally I would thought thi past July if we wanted him we'd need to trade Garza steraight up for him, but it was reported they recently tried to trade him for Andrelton Simmons straight up, and the Braves rejected it. Why I don't know, I think I'd rather have Olt than Simmons, especially since my cornerstone 3B just retired... and also Texas didn't need Simmons but were trying to get him to flip to Arizon for Upton, I believe... which means Arizona likely didn't want Olt for Upton either... so maybe Olt's value isn't as high as once believed. I know Simmons is a great talent, but I think the Cubs could offer a better player/package and it doesn't include Soler, Baez, or Almora.
Also, I like Mike Olt because he has the ability to hit for big power, draw a ton of walks, plays above average defense, will be 24 next year, is ready to play the MLB level, and will be under team control for several years, and fills a position of extreme need for the long term. To me, either he or Lonnie Chisenhall are the best 3B trade targets out there for the Cubs, and I'd much rather prefer Olt. To think we could have two gold glove caliber 30+HR mashers at the infield corners for the next half decade makes me giddy. It also would make Josh Vitters expendable so we could sit him in the minors to build his value up so we could include him in a trade for other players.
2) If the Cubs just needed a a stopgap, Figgins would be an alright gamble. If they're tossing this season away there's no harm in hoping he bounces back. I'd prefer a reclaimation like him over the likes of Valbuena or even Vitters, honestly. Vitters is still really young and could use some time to stew in the minors still.
3) On Upton, I'm not sure what has been said here, but I've been wary of him as well. The reason I like Upton is mostly tied to his defensive ability. He has consistently been a good defender in CF, which honestly is why his WAR is mostly high to begin with. His offensive counting stats are sporadic and inconsistent, but in general, he never deviates from the path too much, and averages a .750 OPS or thereabout each of the last 3 seasons. I like his defense, his ability to hit a homer more often than most CF/lead-off types, and his ability to take pitches and draw out walks. I think his overall game is solid, though not elite. The sad part is he might get paid an elite salary, and I know that's a tough pill to swallow, but the Cubs have money to burn and are very capable of holding a payroll larger than what they had at the beginning of last season, and accomodating BJ Upton, who will only be 28 next season, shouldnt be an issue. It'd be an overpay for sure, but it's an overpay the Cubs can easily afford.
I think if you move him out of that dome and division, too, his production would see a significant change for the better.
4) If not Olt or Chisenhall, maybe we can get frisky and try and pry away Moustakas from the Royals now that they're dangling him and others out there, but a move like that would need to start with Jeff Samardzija, and that's one that would take a lot of guts to pull the trigger on when you're attempting to build a solid rotation and, at the moment, he's the #1 since Garza is a question mark now due to injury.

I like the use of "cornerstone" in this case (in any case) for our future Cubs' case.
Yah. The Olt argument is sound. But, what to offer? "It never hurts to ask" is so Tommy. I like it. True about player trade quantity vs quality, T--at least once they hit the big teams.
Mitten, I so wish there were more "incentive laden" contracts in baseball. It would make this sport more enjoyable. Can you imagine the ramifications if, say, 7 years for 14 million with 30-50 million in performance (for a proven 20-something kid, not Chone-types where incentive-super-heavy is a lot more likely) was common. Kid would be secure, yet motivated. Club would be committed yet have some flexibility.
I think moving Shark is least likely for almost anyone right now (even though he looks like a gift to someone with that bow on his head in the Christmas post on the front page. I'll go in for self-gifting on the Samardzija front).

I hate the White Sox as much as the next guy, but I always envied their Thomas/Ventura combo in the 90's... we had Lee/Ramirez for a while, and those corresponded with some of our best years. I think having the corners locked down with high talent, middle-of-the-order bats can play a crucial role in a teams success and confidence long term.

So I think it doesn't hurt when our teenagers get a little nibble of that reality every now and then, too.
My oldest daughter had that opportunity last week, when the ninth graders at her school participated in "Reality Town."
Curious about just how "real" the experience was, I decided to ask her a few questions. I was hoping she learned something that would help me build a better reality myself.
She told me that, in the weeks before Reality Town, the students learned about making wise financial choices and managing money. They also listed their top three job choices, which would be whittled down to an actual occupation based on their grades and academic history.
Then, two days before the event, all students received booklets listing their names, occupations, family members, salaries and whether or not their jobs provided health insurance. The booklets also included a check register and provided information about choosing transportation and housing.
"I was a geologist," my daughter said. "My salary was $4,129 a month. I had three kids and a husband who stayed at home, and I did have health insurance."
My oldest always has been interested in being a geologist or an engineer, and I was glad (although not surprised) to hear that her grades thus far would allow her to chase that dream in the world of Reality Town.
I was also glad to hear that her spouse wasn't chosen from among her classmates, but was just an imaginary person. "Otherwise, that would be awkward," she said.
Awkward, indeed.
On the day of Reality Town, students started by going to the bank and receiving their salaries. Then they visited various required booths representing a grocery store, car dealership, real estate representative and insurance agent, among others. Other optional booths offered pets and entertainment.
At each booth, the students slected what they wanted, and the adult volunteers subtracted the appropriate amount of money from their checking accounts.
"At (the grocery store), you would tell what plan you wanted — they had thrifty, moderate and high-price — and each cost a different amount of money," my daughter said. "If you had a coupon, you got a discount on groceries."
She chose the middle range for groceries, and when it came time to choose a vehicle, she selected a Nissan Altima. "I got a new one, because my insurance would be better, and it was the cheapest one that had the required number of seats I had to have for the five people in my family."
For housing, she considered going with the cheapest option — a trailer home — but opted instead to get a condo. "That one was cheap," she said, "and the utilities were paid for in part by the people who owned it."
While she ran out of time and wasn't able to get to all of the booths, she figured she would have had just enough money to support her family for a month.
Her friends were in different situations. The one who was a surgeon bragged about a cruise to the Bahamas she had just purchased. But another friend who was a writer struggled mightily to make ends meet.
(I could have told her that would be the case.)
All of this sounded like it was educational and worthwhile, but what I really wanted to know was what she had learned from the experience. Her first takeaway made me smile.
"Groceries cost a lot," she said. "I didn't realize how much they cost. Besides housing and a car, that was one of the most expensive things I had to pay for. ... Food waste just got a lot more significant to me."

If you're the type of person that doesn't like to put a physical case on their iPhone 4 or iPhone 4S, the Golla line of pouches may be more up your alley. While you aren't using your iPhone they'll do a great job of protecting it as well as giving you a bit of storage space for things such as credit cards or an ID.
I took a look at two different kind of Golla pouches - the Golla Jacinda Smart Bag and the Golla Bay Pouch. The main difference I noticed between the two were the material type. The Bay Pouch had more of a corduroy feel to it while the Jacinda pouch was more of a mesh on the inside.
Both cases fit the iPhone 4 and iPhone 4S extremely nicely. I felt like the fit wasn't loose enough that my iPhone would fall out but it wasn't tight to where it was a pain taking it in and out each time. I also liked the ability to keep my credit card, bank card, and ID in the front slot.
I hate carrying a purse so anytime I can get away with not having one, I do. This case made that possible. I found myself frequently using the carabiner to attach my phone to my belt loop or laptop bag. I thought this was extremely convenient. I never really found a use for the lanyard.
I'd recommend this case for anyone that typically prefers keeping their iPhone naked. If you use an actual form fitting case on your iPhone you'll most likely have to remove it in order for it to fit inside a Golla bag. This would probably go along nicely for those that use products like Wrapsol or InvisibleShield.
The Golla Bay Pouch and the Golla Jacinda Smart Bag are both available in the TiPb accessory store.
We're giving away a couple (2) of Golla bags! Just head on over to the TiPb iPhone accessory store Golla bag page, pick the one you like best, a
Ready... set... go!

Yes please! I like the GREEN ONE!
Love that I can put my iPhone and my cards in the spot! and of course i love PINK! http://store.tipb.com/golla-grape-pouch/4A193A5341.htm
I would like this one because it's pink and flowery and would look great with my white 4S!
Do those remind anyone of the cigarette holders that people use?
Anyone else think those look like the cigarette case that people use?
http://store.tipb.com/golla-riley-smart-bag/4A193A6812.htm the pink one. I would love this. It would get my wife off my back when I keep telling her to put her phone in a case and she replies "It's not as pretty in a case"
Totally love the Thug one, I'm Canadian, however I would pay thr shipping if I won! ;)
I would like to get this golla, because i don't want that my Iphone 4S getting cold. Also i want the black one, than i can reconize my phone in the snow when i drop it.
This one is pretty cool. Looks like an "outdoors" type with those colors. Thanks again for the chance to win!
With this case, I can store my credit cards for easy access instead of having to fight through my wallet.http://store.tipb.com/golla-zone-phone-wallet/4A193A7031.htm
http://www.blueshop.ca/golla-cases/golla-strike-pouch-black/....I like Golla very much because it is stylish. I used to buy this when I was still in the Philippines.

Love the fancy Golla Bag. Throw it in your bag and not to worry about your phone getting scratched. Perfect item!
these are very nice n unique Golla bags for the safe keeping of i-phone.
As I write this, I am going through iPhone withdraws. My home button stopped working, and then Voice Control possessed my phone. Waiting for Apple to send me a new one - should receive it tomorrow. Perhaps if my iPhone had been safe and snug in one of these ( http://store.tipb.com/golla-riley-smart-bag/4A193A6812.htm ) handy dandy bags, it would have been protected from Voice Control Possession.
...in Pink, of course. Because pink is scientifically proven to reduce the chances of Voice Control Possession.
Love the graphics on this case and how rugged it looks!
I love the Golla Bag with Butterfly!
the black one http://store.tipb.com/golla-bay-pouch/4A193A8385.htm

The mayor has promised to double the city's recycling rate and expand the type of plastics the city recycles, and NY1 got an exclusive tour of a new processing facility in Brooklyn under construction that will be run by Sims Metal Management. NY1's Courtney Gross filed the following report.
Jutting out of the Brooklyn waterfront is the future of New York City's recycling program: a $110 million recycling plant still under construction, which will be operated by Sims Metal Management.
"We will take Bronx and Queens material and parts of Brooklyn via barge," said Thomas Outerbridge of Sims Municipal Recycling, the city's recycling contractor.
This facility is the centerpiece of Mayor Michael Bloomberg's promise to increase recycling.
"You see, we are all hoping that the tonnage the city collects will increase or participation rates will increase. We could run 18,000 tons through this plant," Outerbridge said.
Barges will deliver New Yorkers' bottle and cans at a massive warehouse. Machines will tear open the bags and the contents will run along conveyor belts through scanners, to be sorted.
"It falls into these bunkers and when any given particular bunker is full, the gate will lift, and material will be conveyed into bailers down on that end," Outerbridge said.
Each of these bins will carry a different product, such as soda bottles or milk cartons. Eventually they will carry a much larger array of plastics, like yogurt containers. It is all part of the city's expansion of its recycling program.
In his State Of The City address on February 14, Bloomberg said, "We will also make major steps towards another major sustainability goal that we have set: doubling the city's recycling rate to 30 percent by 2017."
The city has promised to start recycling bulk plastics, like takeout containers, this summer, but Outerbridge said it is not yet clear exactly how that will happen.
"We're not going to simply say 'all plastics' because that ranges from a garden hose to a yogurt container," Outerbridge said. "So what we're going to try to do is come up with some definition of what are acceptable plastics that works for us and is understandable by the public. And I don't have that right now, but that's something we are going to have to work out with the city in the next weeks and months."
They say there is still time to iron out the kinks, as the plant is opening in the summer.

"I ordered this card in Wintergreen (with the red striped back), using the Pearl White Shimmer paper. The paper quality was beautiful - the shimmer added an elegant special touch to the card. I have not sent these out yet, so I can't comment on the color transfer to the envelope.... but regardless, the card came out beautifully! My only "complaint" with Tiny Prints is that your options to minimize/enlarge and position photos is fairly limited. I couldn't position my photo exactly as I had hoped so had to cut off some of the photo to make it work with this template."
"This christmas card was just beautiful, the colors are so vibrant and festive and the paper quality is fantastic. I was really pleased with this product adn would reccomend it others looking for a holiday card that will stand out from teh rest."
"We personalized it by using a fun loving, energetic, whimsical, picture of our kids. They are older 15 and 24 so we needed something silly and fun, not traditional and stoic. With the simplicity of the message we can use this card for everyone!!!! Plus we were able to add a couple of lines for a message and then 3 more fun pictures on the back! We loved it!"
"We ordered the scalloped edge and it really made for a beautiful product. I thought the photo quality could have been better, but we ordered the matte finish so could have been that."
"This card turned out so nice. I used a collage of family photos and used the "vintage" option to change the look of the photos a little. I love that Tiny Prints has that option. The neutral colors allow me to send these out for Chanukah, Christmas or New Years. I am extremely happy with my holidays cards."

2013 Reds Caravan Stops Announced
The details for the 2013 Reds Caravan have been announced. The Caravan will begin on Thursday, January 24 and run through Sunday, January 27. Three separate tours will make 15 stops in four states.
If you have never attended the Reds Caravan, be prepared for a cavalcade of fun. Each group will answer questions, take pictures and sign autographs for fans.
We are planning on making an appearance at the Columbus tour stop, which will feature the "Rock Star" group. The "Rock Star" group consists of Marty Brennaman, Brandon Phillips, Chris Welsh, Bob Miller, Tucker Barnhart and Gapper.
1 Comment
So this is the first year I get to make it to the Reds Caravan and I plan on showing up about 2 hours early so I can be sure to get autographs (in Charleston WV). For anyone who has been, is 2 hours good enough usually? How do things operate, like, do they do a Q&A first, or indructions or something, or the autograph signing first? Just wondering if it would even make any difference with me getting their early or not. If they don't do autographs first, people who get there at the last minute could get up there in front I'd think.

In the last two years, Jabiru residents have twice had their water supply contaminated by dangerous bacteria.
LINDY KERIN: For Christine McGuire and her 3 young children the past week has been hectic.
CHRISTINE MCGUIRE: The fire department went around and announced 'don't drink the water, no showers, no water, 'cause the water has got a bug in it', I looked up E. coli which was what it was on the internet, and it said that it was really bad for babies under 5, I've got a 2 year old and a seven month old and they could have got sick.
LINDY KERIN: After the alert Christine McGuire took the recommended precautions to protect her family.
A monthly test of the town's water supply had come back positive for E. coli, a bacteria which causes stomach cramps, diarrhoea and potentially kidney failure in children.
CHRISTINE MCGUIRE: We boiled water in the kettle and put it in the bucket to give them a bath, and that was a fun experience.
We had to boil the kettle about five times to get enough water then it was too hot, and it was an inconvenience more than anything because Jaydn is six, Haley is 2 and Molly is seven months, and you've gotta sponge bath them.
LINDY KERIN: 1,500 people live in the mining town of Jabiru which lies in the world heritage listed Kakadu National Park.
The town's water supply comes from three bores and is pumped into this storage tank.
The contamination occurred here when the chlorination process failed.
In 2003 an independent report raised concerns about the ageing infrastructure and warned that unless action was taken it was not a matter of if but when a major failure would occur.
A similar contamination incident happened in February last year.
Within four hours of the weekend contamination mining company ERA trucked in water from Darwin to distribute to families.
Health alerts were issued and the local primary school was shut down.
Like many parents Andy Ralph was most concerned about his child.
ANDY RALPH: I took my 3 year old daughter to the Jabiru childcare centre and was shocked to find out that the bubbler there out the back there was still serviceable and kids were able to drink the water. It wasn't good enough, the co-ordination was non-existent among the Jabiru emergency plan.
LINDY KERIN: Andy Ralph is the Deputy Chair of the suspended Jabiru Town Council.
He called a public meeting to talk about what happened.
At the meeting residents called on the Territory Government to reinstate the council by the end of the month.
BILL STUCHBERY: We notified all the major accommodation houses, we had police, fire and emergency services with loud speakers throughout the town, quick distribution of pamphlets explaining the situation, I think that we did everything possible. With regard to the town camp, we had two visits.
I think there's some agitation for reinstatement of the elected arm and they're probably taking it as an opportunity to point it out during this incident.
LINDY KERIN: But residents in Jabiru want an elected council.
A petition has been sent to the Territory Government asking for the matter to be resolved as quickly as possible.
The government says a report due to be complete within weeks will determine whether the council is reinstated or fresh elections held.
But some say it's dragged on too long.
Jabiru's water system has been flushed with chlorine and is now safe to drink.
Christine McGuire's son is back at school but the family is not taking any chances.
CHRISTINE MCGUIRE: I'm not going to drink it, we've got bottled water so we will just stay with bottled water for a little while. A lot of the other mums at school aren't drinking the water because they're too scared to let their kids drink it, so it's a big concern, it's not something you'd expect in a town of 1500 people.

Reggie Bush just isn't that great of a back. There, I said it. Now I can move on with my life. If there's one thing Juice knows, it's how to be a premier back. That includes rushing, blocking, catching and pulling off amazing moves. Jukes, side steps, spins, dives, hurdles and more.
Reggie Bush is a showman with no show. A magician with no tricks. Here's an excerpt from a recent SI.com article talking about Bush and Sproles with their new teams:
"The ex-Saint had a few exciting moments against New England, but nothing we haven't seen before. His 11 carries for 38 yards rushing won't change anyone's mind about his potential to fill the role of Miami's lead running back -- just not happening -- and his nine catches for 56 yards and one touchdown weren't difference-making on this night. After watching his replacement in New Orleans, Darren Sproles, explode on the scene for the Saints in Thursday night's opener at Green Bay, Bush didn't exactly hold serve with his prime time showing."
Bush was close to 100 yards catching/rushing in his opener, but for the most part it was fluff yardage. He isn't consistent enough and he isn't a game changer. If memory serves (I suppose I should look, to be accurate) he's also missed 20 games in the past 4 years. That's a lot of time off. Maybe he isn't doing all that well because he's never 100%.
I don't know the reason, but I do know that a back hasn't gotten this much publicity for doing so little in the history of the NFL. Last year in 8 games Reggie averaged 18.8 yards a game. That's weaksauce. The Juice ran that far in his sleep back in the day.
Reggie's highest yardage average is 48.4 per game. Recieving is 46.4 per game. That means if you took his BEST averages from ANY year and combined them, he would still be averaging less than 100 yards a game. How is this guy a starting back for ANY team in the NFL?

Pseudostratified ciliated columnar epithelium (PCCE)
Pseudostratified ciliated columnar epithelium (PCCE)
Histology is the study of tissues. Tissues are groups of cells that are similar in structure and function. There are four tissue types associated with animals such as humans. They are:
connective_tissue (CT),
muscle_tissue, and
Each of these tissue categories has distinctive cell shapes and functions.
Epithelial tissues are avascular and they are supported by a structure known as the basement_membrane. The basement membrane is amorphous, and consists of a combination of secretions from epithelial cells as well as CT cells. The portion of the membrane that is composed of epithelial secretions is termed the basal_lamina. The portion of the membrane composed of CT secretions is called the reticular_lamina. Epithelial tissues have multiple functions, including covering and lining, secretion, absorption, protection, filtration, excretion, and sensory reception.
Epithelial cells can also form glands. There are two types of glands in the human body: endocrine and exocrine.
Endocrine glands are "ductless glands". In other words, they lack an exit path from their internal structure to the epithelial surface. The endocrine glands of the human produce and release regulatory chemicals, called hormones. Exocrine glands do have ducts, and they release their products directly to the epithelial surface. Glands such as sweat and oil glands are examples of exocrine glands.
We classify the covering and lining epithelia based upon (1) cell shape and (2) the number of layers. There are three basic epithelial shapes, plus several specializations. The three basic shapes of epithelial cells are squamous, cuboidal, and columnar. All three types of cells look the same in whole mount: six-sided. In order to distinguish among the three cell types you must view them in cross-section or longitudinal section. Epithelial cells may form single layers (simple_epithelium), multiple layers (stratified_epithelium), or appear to be multiple layers when, in fact, they are only a single layer (pseudostratified_epithelium).
(1) There are two important types of epithelia that are less easily categorized. They are (1) pseudostratified and (2) transitional.
(2) Pseudostratified is a special form of columnar epithelium in which the cells vary in height as well as the placement of their nuclei. Because their heights are asymmetrical and their nuclei are located at various levels, they appear to be "stacked". In fact, each cell in the so-called "stack" does touch the basement membrane and therefore there is no stack, just an irregular single (simple epithelium) layer of cells.
(3) Pseudostratified epithelium tends to be ciliated.
(4) Transitional epithelium consists of modified stratified squamous epithelial cells that are distensible and can slide over one another. These cells can stretch (flatten out) to accommodate a change in volume, and then return to their original (plump) shape. They are located in the kidneys, ureters and the urethra.

The 1940 Census came at a momentous time in our Nation's history — as we recovered from the Great Depression and not long before our entry into World War II. It was also the first Census that looked deeper into the details of much of American life. Now, 72 years later, upon release of the 1940 Census forms by the National Archives, we look back and see just how much America changed.

The introduction of Raising the Participation Age (RPA) will first affect those currently in Years 10 and 11 who will continue their education or training for a further academic year. From 2015 all young people will have to stay in education or training until their 18th birthday.
This is a new Government policy to give all young people the opportunity to develop their skills and qualifications.
Staying in education or training means that more young people will be qualified, with better job prospects and the opportunity for higher earnings. It will also increase the level of skills within the economy and help businesses to become more competitive.
There is a wide range of high-quality learning options available in Hampshire at schools, colleges, training providers and employers offering apprenticeships. Most young people recognise the benefits of staying in education and training, with nine out of ten 16 and 17 year olds in Hampshire already in education or training.
Young people can choose from staying in full-time education, work-based learning such as an apprenticeship, or part-time training if they are employed, self-employed or volunteer for more than 20 hours a week.
Teachers and careers advisors are able to help young people decide on the best option for them.
Hampshire County Council will be working with schools, colleges and partner agencies to identify the small number of young people who do not currently participate in education or training. We are committed to providing support to these young people to help them overcome barriers so they can access, and succeed in, post-16 education or training.
For young people who have particular difficulties, there are a range of alternative options available, including work trials and internships. Young people may be eligible for financial support to help them continue their learning through the Post-16 Bursary Scheme, or the County Council's Post-16 Participation Support Scheme which helps young people from low income families with transport costs.
We are also working with local employers and training providers to increase the number of apprenticeships, and the Government is offering incentives to employers to set up schemes.
Employers recognise the value of recruiting young people and providing a training structure so that they can gain valuable professional qualifications which broadens their skills and experience.
From 2013, all young people will be required to stay in education or training until the end of the academic year in which they turn 17 to support them in gaining skills and qualifications.
More information about education and training options in Hampshire, and the support for young people and employers, is available at YouthTube or call 0845 603 5620.

|CP eHandbook: Wireless - Plants Benefit from Wireless Technology
Productivity Improvement with Wireless Steam
When steam traps leak or fail, energy is lost and there could also be steam equipment failure or damage and potential safety hazards. A major food manufacturer improved their steam trap program and enhanced their ongoing leak repair campaign with remote steam trap monitoring using Smart Wireless Solutions from Emerson.
Improving Plant Production with Wireless Condition Monitoring
Mechanical failure of motors, drives and other vital electromechanical equipment are among the most common reasons for production stoppages. Fortunately, recent advancements in vibration monitoring and data analysis have lead to condition monitoring systems that can accurately detect a problem before failure, thus reducing costly machine shutdowns and maximizing production output. These systems are installed on the monitored equipment and are typically networked back to a central computer for data analysis and alarm annunciation. Because the machines may be in remote locations where network infrastructure is not available, or on moving platforms where hardwired network connectivity is not practical, wireless communications is a networking alternative that offer installation cost savings, quicker deployment and even improved reliability in certain situations.

As technology continues to change the way we do business, many entrepreneurs have embraced mobile business opportunities—businesses that can be run from a vehicle, tablet or smartphone. Mobile businesses give entrepreneurs the flexibility to set their own hours and be their own boss, and they may save thousands of dollars annually in office expenses and overhead associated with a fixed-location business.
A mobile business typically requires only a vehicle (and sometimes not even that), laptop, mobile phone, and the specific tools you need to perform your work. Although mobile food trucks and smartphone apps that allow you to find and follow mobile businesses may be the first to come to mind, there are actually a surprising array of mobile business options available, such as:
Mobile-based businesses do take time, and success requires more than just setting up a website and sending a few marketing emails. No matter what type of business you're looking to start, taking the time to plan is imperative. There are a few issues to consider before you purchase your vehicle or design your smartphone app and head off to find clients:
Whatever type of mobile business you choose, it's important to consult legal and accounting professionals beforehand to protect your new venture for the long haul.

EDMONTON - The jersey was tossed to the ice with antipathy, and symbolism, and all the pent up emotion that comes from watching the Edmonton Oilers succumb to another opponent on home ice.
Other game goers just serenaded the club with a chorus of boos after they were blanked 6-0 by the St. Louis Blues on Saturday. It was the third time the Oilers have failed to score a goal in their last five games, the sixth time this season.
They will now drag a six-game losing streak into Monday's meeting with the Winnipeg Jets — the last game before the Christmas break, which coincides with the holiday roster freeze that remains in effect until Dec. 27.
In short, there will be no immediate changes. The lines were tweaked at practice Sunday and Devan Dubnyk will likely start in net, rather than Ilya Bryzgalov, but that's where it ends.
This is Craig MacTavish's first season in the general manager's office and Dallas Eakins' first as the head coach. Neither is going anywhere any time soon. And both are banking on the fact the changes they've seen since this season started will eventually result in better seasons — all of which is of little comfort to the faithful who have not seen a playoff game since 2006.
"Have we not done well this year? Absolutely. Do I see quiet progress in players and in our game? I do," said Eakins, "but I do understand the perception that the players in the room and myself and Craig are responsible for the last eight years.
"They look at the jersey. They look at the colours. They look at the team on the ice and I'm OK with that because I fully understand it. They have a great right to be upset. It's a passion in the market. I'd much rather they be really pissed off right now than not care at all.
"Is it fun having the boos rain down and the comments as you move around the city? No. But at least they care."
MacTavish has said he is not wavering from the plan, which is to build around core players like Taylor Hall, Jordan Eberle, Ryan Nugent-Hopkins, David Perron and Justin Schultz. That doesn't mean he won't be looking to make some moves before the trade deadline and at the draft, given that the Oilers will again be in contention for the top pick.
Whether he can find willing trade partners remains to be seen.
In the meantime, Eakins will continue to try to coax a complete game from his players, who put in a solid 20 minutes against the Blues in the first period of Saturday's contest, outshooting the guests 14-5, before succumbing to their old ways.
"It's been years of disappointment and it's not flicking a light switch as we're finding out," said captain Andrew Ference. "Definitely some trying games and some games where you feel like you see the light at the end of the tunnel.
"The biggest challenge is to try to keep working toward the bigger picture of what are we going for and what are we trying to become and how are we going to get there. It's probably one of the biggest transitions that this club has to take at this level is knowing that it's just not time that's going to make this team."
Prior to this current six-game losing skid, the Oilers had managed to go on a 7-3-1 run but it was also a run that came at a time when the club was duking it out with teams in the bottom 15.
They haven't been able to better the likes of the Los Angeles Kings, Boston Bruins and Anaheim Ducks — particularly not when they continue to let up for stretches of games.
"It's been the same story all year. We have to decide how much longer we want to keep going through this," said Boyd Gordon. "We have to play desperate and find a way to win because it's pretty miserable losing like this.
"You can talk about it all you want, but at the end of the day we just have to simplify things, bear down and find a way to get a win."
