If you go run around and just hang out in the sun you can get one. I once got this dark, dark tan because I was out so much. I think you can only tan in the summer though, and it will go away in fall and winter.

Richmond - Perhaps no event of the American Civil War has been romanticized and written about more than the last great charge by General Longstreet's men on the third day of the Battle of Gettysburg. This Museum of the Confederacy exhibit, Gettysburg: "They Walked Through Blood," tells the story of the dramatic event, historically referred to as "Pickett's Charge." Thirteen of the fifteen battle flags carried by regiments in Major General George Pickett's division were captured in the charge. Eight of those captured flags are displayed in this exhibit. The exhibit also features personal artifacts of soldiers who took part in the charge and remembrances of the battle. Through September 1, 2014.

Richmond - Knickknackery: Curiosities from the Museum's Vaults - The Museum of the Confederacy's collections are rich with objects that are visually interesting, have unique stories associated with them, or are just plain quirky. For years these objects, while fascinating on their own, have not fit into the Museum's larger exhibitions. When assembled together however, these "curiosities" give an extraordinary view into the process of museum collecting and the unexpected surprises that can come from it. Through December 31, 2014.

Business Banking E-Newsletter - July 2011
Questions to Ask When Drafting an Estate Plan
Because you've worked hard to create a secure and comfortable lifestyle for your family, you'll want to ensure that you have a sound financial plan that includes trust and estate planning. With some forethought, you may be able to minimize gift and estate taxes and preserve more of your assets for those you care about.
A qualified financial professional and tax professional can help ensure you are minimizing taxes and maximizing gains for your heirs. You can bring this four-part checklist to your initial meeting to
discuss how to make your plan comprehensive and up-to-date.
Part 1: Communicating Your Wishes
- Do you have a will?
- Are you comfortable with the executor(s) and trustee(s) you have selected?
- Have you executed a living will or health care proxy?
- Have you considered a living trust to avoid probate?
- If you have a living trust, have you titled your assets in the name of the trust?
Part 2: Protecting Your Family
- Does your will name a guardian for your children if both you and your spouse are deceased?
- If you want to limit your spouse's flexibility regarding the inheritance, have you created a Q-TIP trust?
- Are you sure you have the right amount and type of life insurance for survivor income, loan repayment, capital needs, and all estate settlement expenses?
- Have you considered an irrevocable life insurance trust to exclude the insurance proceeds from being taxed as part of your estate?
- Have you considered creating trusts for family gift giving?
Part 3: Reducing Your Taxes
- If you are married, are you taking full advantage of the marital deduction?
- Are you making gifts to family members that take advantage of the $13,000 annual gift tax exclusion?
- Have you gifted assets with a strong probability of future appreciation in order to maximize future estate tax savings?
- Have you considered charitable trusts that could provide you with both estate and income tax benefits?
Part 4: Protecting Your Business
- Do you have a management succession plan?
- Do you have a buy/sell agreement for your family business interests?

5 Hot Summer Marketing Tips
Ideas to help keep your business booming
Whether your small business serves the millions of vacationers that hit the nation's parks, beaches and other vacation spots during the summer months, or you find that most of your customers head out of town, here are some tips to help keep your business booming all summer long.
Take part in summer festivals and fairs.
Sponsoring or participating in local festivals, carnivals and fairs is not only great for your brand, but it can help introduce new and potential customers to your products and services. Start by identifying events that are the right fit for your business and have a track record of success. Local newspapers, community flyers, city or homeowner association Web sites, as well as your local Chamber of Commerce can help point you to upcoming events in your community.
Take your customers out.
It's normal in the corporate world for executives to head out on a Friday afternoon for a round of golf with their customers, why not treat your best customers just as royally? Whether you host a grill out at a local park, have a day at a winery, or charter a boat for an afternoon of fishing, your customers will surely appreciate the gesture. And remember, you can claim customer entertainment expenses (including meals) as a tax deduction (as long as there is a clear business purpose for them) and substantial business discussions are held before, during or after the entertainment. The tax deduction is generally limited to 50% of the expenses incurred.
If you take customers to a show or sporting event (to promote business) you can deduct the cost of the ticket as an entertainment expense. If you buy them the ticket as a gift but don't accompany them, the cost is deductible as an entertainment expense (50% limit) or as a gift (subject to the $25 maximum), whichever is more advantageous.
And don't forget your business partners and vendors - you want to keep them happy too, so schedule some quality time with them.
Take your business on the road.
Go where the vacationers are. If you operate a food business, have you thought about taking a concession stand on the road? Whether you position it at fairs and festivals, sports events or even certain roadside locations (within the law) a concession stand can extend your customer reach, supplement your core revenues and increase your brand reach.
Run a contest.
Summer is fun after all and literally any business can run a contest, which also makes for great publicity. Brainstorm with your employees and gather up some ideas - and always try and tie the prize to something that incents people to frequent your business.
Restaurants could run food eating contests or host cook-offs. Landscaping companies could launch a "Worst Yard" in the neighborhood contest - submit your yard and win a free landscaping makeover. Pet stores, grooming salons or veterinary hospitals could host pet shows with prizes for Best in Show.
Whatever you do, be sure to market it correctly (and pay attention to truth in advertising laws). Use a blend of traditional (email marketing, newspaper ads, flyers) and new media (Facebook, Twitter, blogging) to get the word out, and follow-through with the results of your contest by posting pictures of the winner to Facebook or your Web site.
Dress up your website.
Last but not least, why not dress up your Website for the season. Many businesses do this for the winter holidays, but adding a summer graphic here and there can keep your Web presence seasonal and relevant.

Simple Ways to Attack Unemployment
At his press conference after the meeting of the Federal Reserve's Open Market Committee, Fed Chairman Ben Bernanke said that employment is picking up -- at a frustratingly slow pace.
The numbers now show that the jobs problem in the U.S. isn't simply cyclical unemployment -- the kind the rises and falls with the cycles of the economy -- but also a rise in structural unemployment -- the kind that doesn't go down very much even when the economy picks up. The kind of patience that Bernanke advocates is absolutely the wrong medicine for an increase in structural unemployment.
Right now the numbers are starting to show a troubling and startling divergence: The number of job openings is rising, but the number of people working isn't climbing nearly as fast.
It looks increasingly like one "gift" from the Great Recession is a rise in the permanent unemployment rate, even in a good economy. That will mean more people out of work for the long term, with all the pain that imposes on those workers and their families. And it will mean that the U.S. economy as a whole will grow more slowly than in the past -- and than it might have without the damage inflicted by the Great Recession.
Remember 4.6% unemployment?
You know all about cyclical unemployment by now. The official unemployment rate, which doesn't include discouraged workers who have stopped looking for work or workers with part-time jobs who would like full-time employment, stood at 9.1% in May 2011. Way back in 2007, before the global financial crisis and the Great Recession, the official unemployment rate was 4.6%. In 2008, as the recession started to bite, it climbed to 5.8% and then, in 2009, it rocketed to 9.3%.
The unemployment rate follows, with some lag, the economic cycle. In 2007, the economy grew at an annual 3.2%, 2.3%, and 2.9% rate in the second, third and fourth quarters, respectively. In 2008, the annual growth rate dropped to a negative 0.7% in the first quarter, rebounded to a not-terribly-robust (but at least positive) 0.6% in the second quarter, and then fell off a cliff in the third quarter, dropping at an annual rate of 4% before finishing the year at a negative 6.8%. The next year started grimly, with the economy shrinking at a 4.9% annual rate.
But the unemployment rate hasn't dropped very much as the recovery from the Great Recession has progressed. The post-recession unemployment rate did dip briefly to 8.8% from a high above 10%, but now it seems stubbornly stuck above 9%. That's after a 5% annual growth rate in gross domestic product in the fourth quarter of 2009 and growth rates of 3.1% and 3.7% in the first and fourth quarters of 2010.
Why hasn't unemployment shrunk?
That's been a big puzzle to economists. The explanations are all over the political and economic map: The 2009 economic stimulus package was too small. Or too big. Businesses are reluctant to hire because of inconsistent or intrusive regulation. The continuing decline in housing prices has sapped consumer confidence and spending. Rising income inequality has put a huge burden on the middle class. And on and on.
Unemployment in the US
What most of these explanations share, however, is a belief that unemployment would shrink as the economic cycle shifted from recession to growth -- except that something has happened this time to interfere.
A very few voices have worried that maybe the slow recovery in job growth from the Great Recession is a sign of structural problems. And that's looking more and more likely.
For instance, in the manufacturing sector, which has led the economy during the recovery, the number of jobs has declined since January 2009, but the number of available job openings has climbed to 230,000 from 98,000. Manpower, the employment company, reports that 52% of leading U.S. companies report difficulties in hiring essential staff. In 2010, Manpower's survey showed 14% of companies reporting difficulties. McKinsey Global Institute found in a survey of 2,000 companies that 40% had positions open for at least six months because they couldn't find suitable candidates.
That data too anecdotal for you? There are very few comprehensive statistics on how many companies should be hiring but aren't. It's too subjective. How many of the companies in McKinsey's survey, for example, are using the "no suitable candidate" explanation as an excuse to avoid hiring?
But there are estimates. Harry Holzer, an economist and public policy professor at Georgetown University, estimates that the unemployment rate would be 8% instead of 9.1% if existing job openings could be filled. The International Monetary Fund estimates that 25% of U.S. unemployment is structural.
If those estimates are anywhere near right, then most of U.S. unemployment is still cyclical. And it should be attacked with the available tools for creating demand in the economy. You know what those tools are, since we've tried most of them -- not always in the best or most efficient fashion.
The Federal Reserve has tried to create demand (even for houses) by keeping interest rates low. Congress and the president have tried to create demand by spending on infrastructure, tax cuts and investment tax credits to business, to mention a few approaches.
It's quite possible that these measures haven't worked because the Great Recession was the deepest economic downturn in the U.S. since the Great Depression and that cyclical downturns, when they're deep enough, are very difficult to reverse. Certainly the duration of the Great Depression suggests that.
But it's also possible that these cyclical measures have been ineffective because they've attacked only part of the unemployment problem. If companies can't find workers with the right skills, then creating demand won't reduce unemployment very quickly. Think of this mismatch of workers' skills and job openings as yet another force slowing down job creation. If a company has to train new hires to bring their skills up to speed, it has to be 100% convinced that the state of the economy makes the expenditure worthwhile. No company is going to spend six months training a worker only to discover that the orders it was counting on haven't come in the door.
How to speed up job creation
There are ways to attack this structural unemployment problem. The federal and state governments could pay for worker training through an expansion of community college systems, grants to workers (unemployed or employed) for training or subsidies to company- or industry-run apprenticeship programs like those in Germany.
Some of the existing programs in these areas -- community college funding, for example -- have been hit hard by state and local budget cuts. And there's certainly a spirit in the land that says we can't afford such frills.
Except that these aren't frills. And they wouldn't be even if the United States wasn't trying to figure out a way to speed up job creation after the Great Recession.
If you look around the world -- and take a point of view that stretches beyond the Great Recession -- you'll see that the great economic challenge of the next decades is competing on productivity and the skills of an economy's workforce. You may not be able to escape that competition even if you're China -- rising wages and incomes in that society are pushing the cheap-labor jobs to countries such as Indonesia, Bangladesh and Vietnam. Moving up the value chain is the next game every economy will have to to play.
And the United States doesn't seem to be half-trying.

"I love how this card turned out. I chose it because I felt the design really showed off the photos because there is no script on the photos themselves and that is exactly what this card achieves-a beautiful classic card that emphasizes the photos."
"I just love Tiny Prints...and ordering this year's Christmas card again reminded me why! this card is beautiful....it was a bit smaller than I originally thought....but looks fantastic! very professional! thank you tiny prints!"
"I loved everything about this card except for the font I chose for the back of the card. It was so tiny you could barely read it. I went with the bracket cutout which looks great on this card."
"I always get nervous ordering things online, so I ordered a sample first. It looked great, so I went for the big order. My photos look amazing and the quality was even better than I expected, for both the template and my photos. Much better experience than I had expected."
"I purchased this card to send to my fishing buddies....me fishing in the snow on the front , greeting in the middle & me fishing on the last pic. What is really nice is that the entire back of this card can be opened up to reveal an entire photo......in my case I used the pic from the front with a description/year of the River I was fishng on. The paper quality is great , photos came out awesome......& they were taken with just a point & shoot camera. Since these are Xmas cards , I have yet to mail them but I know they will receive rave reviews."

How do I know at which weights to start at?
It's different for everyone. I started with almost zero weight on the first set for the first workouts, then slowly added as it fit the intensity level. It takes about two weeks, at least for me, to get it right. the important thing is to start. Welcome.
JenniferJ: If you are new to lifting weights it will take some trial and error and time. As an example when doing dumbell curls for your biceps you might start with 5lb for 12 reps then 7.5 lb for 10 reps then 10 lb for 8 reps then 12.5 lb for 6 reps then back to 10 lb for 12 reps along with your second excersize. This might be a good place to start. If you find you could have done more then your next workout increase the weight. As a general guideline the first set of 12 reps should be fairly easy and the final 2 sets of 12 should be extremely hard. Hope this helps.
fit4life "The dream must be bigger than the pain"
Hi fit4life,
I have a question, I'm starting this program this Tuesday, day after Memorial Day. My question is with weights. This is going to sound like a stupid question but I only have a set of 5 lb dumbells. Do I need to go buy more or can I use only the 5 lbs?
Thanks so much, Sheila
Hiya Sheila,
As fit4life indicated in the previous post you will have to continue to challenge those muscles by breaking them down with your intensity. 5 lb weights alone will not be enough to allow you to do that.
Have you read the BFL book? It may be worth your time to get it and spend this next week preparing for your start day. Many libraries stock it. Also the challenge kit available for download on this site does a good job of explaining how the weight resistance activities are conducted with progressively more challenging weights.
My best wishes for health, happiness and discipline to you.
If you have the ability buy weights from 5lbs - 25lbs. When I started I bought 5lb, 8lb, 10, 12lbs. I very quickly gained strength and had to get 15lbs, 20lbs & 25lbs. Especially when it comes to working your legs. Half way thru the challenge I had to purchase a barbell set with weights up to 100lbs. And by the end I purchased a home gym. You'll be amazed how quickly your strength increases. I got mine dumb bells from a second hand sports store. The first set I got for about $60. The higher weights get more expensive. The home gym I found on Craigslist for $200. But it's worth it! Think about all the money you've spent in the past on fad diets, miracle diet pill or the latest lose weight in 30 days gimmicks. This is hands down money better spent! Best of luck with your challenge!
Sheila.....some of the "veterans" have answered your question well. If you are at home working out you will need at least a set of dumbells and a bench to start. The idea of "progressive resistence" is a key element in the BFL program. JamesK asked if you had read the BFL book....if you haven't you need to. In my profile I wrote that before I ever did my first challenge I took the book and for a week read it cover to cover so I completely understood the entire program which really helped me. All the best....we're all here to help.
Hey Jennifer.. Just want to let you know I started this week and with the weight training I did what fit4life posted. with hammer curls / tricep overhead extensions/shoulder presses etc.. i started out with 5lbs x 12 reps then went to 8lbs x 10reps; 10lbs x 8 reps; 15lbs x 6 reps.. it was a great place to start at and was a challenge at the end.. You can do it! Definately read the book, research it , and plan. Before I started I made myself a 12 week binder that i organized.. it has helped a lot my first week.. I think it makes it easier to keep track of things. good luck!

The Merrill Area Public Schools will welcome State Superintendent Tony Evers to the district October 10.
State Superintendent Evers will take part in Washington Elementary School's PBIS celebration and visit Merrill High School to see some of the innovative academic programs taking place in the district.
"We are thrilled to welcome State Superintendent Evers to our district, and our staff and students are looking forward to sharing some of the innovative and exciting things happening in our schools," said Don Stevens, Interim Superintendent of the Merrill Area Public Schools. "We have a district and schools that are continually improving, and this is a great opportunity to showcase this work first hand."
PBIS (Positive Behavioral Interventions and Supports) is a program of the U.S. Department of Education that helps schools implement best practices in instructional and behavioral interventions. Washington Elementary has implemented the program school-wide, providing staff with a decision-making framework for improving academic and behavioral outcomes for all students.
After the celebration at Washington, Evers will go to the high school, where he will visit classrooms and meet with staff and students engaged in projects centered on the concept of 21st century learning.
"At the Merrill Area Public Schools, we're committed to preparing all students for college and careers by the time they graduate," said Stevens. "While we have a long way to go, we are making great strides in providing our community's children with a truly world-class education."

Overrated and underrated in 2013: Meghan Daum's list
End-of-year zeitgeist wrap-ups are as mandatory as piped-in Christmas music at the dentist's office. Therefore I would be remiss if I did not offer up my list of notable phenomena of 2013, the overrated and the underrated. These opinions do not necessarily reflect the positions of this newspaper -- or even mine, the day after writing them. -- Meghan Daum

SPORTS: Overrated -- Lance Armstrong( George Burns / AFP/Getty Images )
He finally confessed to doping. A damning documentary film, "The Armstrong Lie," came out, and now we're hearing from a retired Italian cyclist who alleges that Armstrong bribed him with $100,000 in a cake box to throw a race in 1993. But unless Armstrong can solve healthcare or slow down climate change, he needs to go away and stay away. He really belongs to 2012. That was the year the U.S. Anti-Doping Agency nailed him. In 2013, he was merely scolded by Oprah -- which is to say, 2013 was the year he became James Frey with better bone structure.

John Neighbors and Julia Meyerovich lead students through a variety of dance styles using their three-pronged teaching system. They offer private instruction to allow students to refine their techniques, group classes for students to learn new moves, and social dances during which students test out their moves with a variety of partners.
The NRA-certified instructors teach at indoor and outdoor ranges.
Depending on the class, shooters use different calibers of handguns, such as .22, .380, 9 millimeter, and a .38 revolver.
Before becoming state- and NRA-certified firearms instructors, each Elite Tactical Training team member worked in law enforcement or the US Army. They draw from these experiences to teach safety during one-on-one, group, and women's-only classes that incorporate scenarios. To deal with each simulated situation, the experts teach their clients––who range from civilians to law-enforcement officers––to select a suitable caliber, safely handle their chosen firearm, and practice self-defense techniques.
The sounds of crunching leaves break the otherwise still air, causing a pair of laser-tag teammates to slow their breathing and crouch down low. One of them puts a finger to her lips and peers over a fallen log, catching sight of an opponent before carefully aiming her laser gun in his direction. The sensors strapped to his head detect the hit, disengaging his gear for up to three seconds and rendering him unable to retaliate. This is a common scene at Mission Quest Adventures, where players cavort in an outdoor arena while clutching weapons loaded with laser beams. Adrenaline levels spike as warriors dive under bushes and dodge behind trees, aiming for victory in organized games such as capture the flag, last person standing, and pantomimed bowling.
The Experience
Inside a building in St. Petersburg, works of art from around the world gather like good friends. Georgia O'Keeffe's Poppy hangs not far from Paul Cézanne's A Corner of the Woods, Pointoise. Claude Monet's Houses of Parliament gives a glimpse of faraway lands, while Thomas Moran's Florida Landscape stays closer to home.
With a range of permanent and rotating exhibitions, the Museum of Fine Arts seeks to engage visitors with art while preserving the pieces in its care. Much of the collection resides in an original 1960s building, but an adjacent modern gallery draws in visitors with special exhibitions, an art library, and interactive educational facilities—ensuring they have plenty of ways to experience art or at least overcome a fear of informational plaques.
The Highlights
Who They Are
Even before the Museum of Fine Arts opened to the public in 1965, founder Margaret Acheson Stuart saw its galleries as a space where diverse audiences could explore art "from antiquity to the present." Architect John Volk had designed the original museum wing to instill visitors with a feeling of solidness and permanence. Decades later, the museum sought to expand, and conducted a nationwide search for a worthy architect. They were rewarded with designer Yann Weymouth, who completed a second building in 2008—a two-story, modern glass conservatory.
Built in 1918, the Craftsman House's expansive, adobe-toned bungalow collapses time as visitors step onto a breezy veranda, walk past a lush carpet of flowers and fronds, and witness more American craftwork than they can shake an intricately whittled stick at. Blown glass, turned wood, and fine pottery and jewelry provided by a 300-strong network of local and national artists are just a few of the pieces that settle in at this homey abode. The building is so homey, in fact, that one artist hardly ever leaves. Surrounded by the courtyard, what was once an old-time carriage house is now the clay-caked studio of professional potter Stephanie Schorr. There, visitors can find her partway through many projects at once, crafting functional wares and feeding the carnival fire breathers that keep her kiln hot.
The historic hub of creative know-how hosts a multiplicity of events, including live music, gallery tours, and artistic workshops. In honor of the gallery's tireless community efforts, Craftsman House was named the 2011 Top Retailer for a Charitable or Philanthropic Event by Niche magazine.
The thrum of the speedboat's engine carries through the water like an ice-cream truck's jingle. A 4-foot-high wake trails behind, fanning out into a fork as the speed increases and the passengers ready their cameras. Soon, a glistening fin breaks the surface. The first bottlenose dolphin seems to levitate on top of the wave while it bodysurfs for the sheer fun of it, then disappears back into the sea. Its pod follows suit, leaping, splashing, and riding the swells, soaking up the attention of the human spectators.
Sights like this are typical on the Dolphin Racer Speed Boat. The sunny yellow craft skirts across the Gulf of Mexico on 60- to 75-minute trips while up to 125 people lounge on the open deck and the captain narrates the sights of the passing beaches. Ample viewing space ensures that cameras can capture split-second jumps and spins when the dolphins heed the call to play. Whether it's because of the thrill of breaching, the pride in their celebrity status, or an underwater bet to see who can communicate with humans first, the dolphins' presence is virtually guaranteed—the boat offers a complimentary future cruise in the case of no-shows.

Bullying in the Workplace
How to deal with bullying in the workplace.
Author: Diane Dean, RN, LPC
If you thought only shin kicks, hair pulls and name calling summed up bullying, think again. Co-workers' sneers, whispers and gossip-gone-wild in the office underscore that bullying is not just for kids. A 2010 study conducted by the Workplace Bullying Institute (WBI) noted that one in three employees have experienced bullying at the office. Moreover, 80% of the bullying was initiated by a female who is targeting another female co-worker, and 62% of the bullies were men.
Workplace bullying leads to the victim experiencing exorbitant levels of stress, and it often results in time taken away from work, sometimes without pay. In a recent study, 15-18% of those bullied took some paid time off of work (short or long-term disability, or early retirement), and 10% used unpaid family medical leave benefits. Survey results taken earlier this year indicate that nearly three-quarters of administrative leaders believe workplace bullying to be "a serious problem."
Traditional stress management techniques, like deep breathing, imagery, and taking breaks away from the office, can help. Improving communication skills, working to create and maintain balance in your life, and practicing extreme "self" care will grow your resilience.
Research supports that taking natural herbal and mineral remedies may also help to subdue your stress. A 2008 study showed that the scent of lavender restored normal levels of the stress hormone cortisol after a stressor was introduced. Many research subjects also reported a mood-lifting effect from the scent of lemon. Passionflower, a purple-hued flowering plant, along with lemon balm and lavender, has been known to reduce anxiety and stress. Studies also support that passionflower may help your sleep quality. Homeopathic remedies, like Magnesium phosphoricum, work to relax tight muscles and temper nerves, thus encouraging relaxation.
Like many other health movements recently, the government is stepping in. The Healthy Workplace Bill (HWB), a bill introduced by lawyer David Yamada, assists by:
• Providing an avenue for legal remedy for cruelty at work that affects health
• Allowing employees to sue the bully as an individual
• Holding the employer accountable
• Allowing for restitution for lost wages as a result of bullying
Currently, there is no law for workplace bullying, yet the HWB has been enacted in almost half of the states in the country.
So, don't wait until you're ready to pull out your own hair! While the question remains as to whose responsibility workplace bullying is, it makes sense to take matters into your own hands by communicating with your supervisor, and if appropriate, with the bully him or herself. Also, employ other healthy measures like using stress-management and relaxation techniques and remedies to quell your workplace woes and worries.

At the height of the historic Harlem Renaissance, venues like The Cotton Club were jumpin' to a new beat called "swing." Ain't Misbehavin' is a rollicking, finger-snapping, toe-tapping, Tony Award-winning musical revue - a tribute to the black entertainers of the early 1900's that centers on the music of one of the most prolific musicians of the time, Thomas "Fats" Waller.

Set in a Chicago recording studio in 1927, a group of musicians anxiously await the arrival of legendary blues singer Ma Rainey, who is known for her music and her attitude. What transpires in this studio is a fiery battle of will and identity as soulful and soul stirring as blues itself. Ma Rainey's Black Bottom is a gripping drama from Pulitzer Prize and Tony Award-winning playwright August Wilson.

A clear and healthy complexian, finally!!!!! – I would like to share with everyone my story of how great this spa is. I have had dark circles around and under my eyes for the longest and Jamelah has signed me up for a laser treatment that removes the dead capillaries that cases the darkness. I just want to say that today is my third day for this treatment and i have seen a dramatic change. I no longer have to use any under eye concealer.
I want to also explain how well Jamelah has helped me with my acne problem. I had moderate acne and after undergoing a treatment that includes the LED facial and a chemical peel, I no longer break out. When i do, it is normally around 'that time' of month, but Jamelah has given me natural products that helps to get rid of them once i feel them forming. I am spanish, so i have a caramel complexion, which sometimes is left with acne scars and i had a lot of them when i first came to this spa; but after undergoing the LED facials, the acne scars have diminished entirely.
I would highly recommend this spa to anyone who is in need of a skincare specialist with low prices and is looking for a clear healthy complexion. Jamelah and Miriam will not steer you in the wrong direction. They know what they are doing and they test all of their products on themselves before using it on their customers. So they know when a product actually works or doesn't work. On top of the great service and knowledge that these ladies provide the prices could not get any better. They know that a lot of people are going through a tough time financially, so they have lowered their prices to accommodate their customers and they will workout a payment plan with you if needed. I have yet to find another spa that provides the same services at these prices and half of the time those spas don't even know what they are doing because they are not certified dermatologist like Jamelah. You can end up paying twice as much for half of the results at these places. I think everyone should try J C Spa at least once.

The U.S. Court of Appeals has found innocent Russian programmer Sergey Aleynikov, who was earlier sentenced to eight years in prison for cyber theft, according to the court documents made available to the Russian Legal Information Agency.(RAPSI)
On March 18, 2011, the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York sentenced the programmer, who was born in Russia but later obtained U.S. citizenship, to just over eight years in prison for stealing and transferring Goldman Sachs trading system's source code.
For the second time, the court acquitted Aleynikov, having published only the operative segment of the decision.
The court took into account the arguments made by Aleynikov, who alleged that the "source code - as purely intangible property - is not a good that was stolen within the meaning of the National Stolen Property Act."
According to the U.S. Department of Justice, Aleynikov worked at Goldman Sachs as a programmer for over two years. He was responsible for developing computer programs and supporting the bank's trading system.
Originally, the system was owned by the Hull Trading Company, but Goldman Sachs acquired the company for $500 million in 1999.
Aleynikov moved to Teza Technologies in July 2009. A month earlier, he allegedly downloaded 3,600 files with the code to an outside server.
Aleynikov was arrested in August at the Newark airport.

While it might not seem like a big deal to those on the outside, Washoe County high schools are having a difficult time keeping their athletic trainers and refilling those positions once those trainers leave. Four high schools in Washoe County currently have no athletic trainer, while Las Vegas schools hired seven new trainers this past summer.
This isn't like the old days where coaches told their players to rub some dirt on it and get back out there.
On a typical day after school at Spanish Springs, there is a waiting line for athletes to see athletic trainer Jason Klonicke, even with three student assistants helping tape athletes before practice or helping on the sidelines.
That just shows one reason why it's hard for Washoe County schools to fill and maintain their athletic trainer positions.
"The athletic trainers that are here now, we have to be teachers to get the balance of the salary and the benefits. Then they get burnt out and don't want to do it anymore," Klonicke said. "I have the full-time teaching job, and I'm also the PE department leader. I'm the full-time athletic trainer here at the school. Then I also work as the Lead Athletic Trainer for the Washoe County School District. I'm juggling being a teacher, an athletic trainer and a father and a husband.
"Every day, the first hour after school is just a zoo. I need to get the athletes ready for practice and games. I'm doing evaluations, setting up water on the field in order to make sure no one dehydrates themselves. I have to do impact testing on top of that, anytime there's a suspected head injury, and that takes about 45 minutes to an hour. It's very difficult."
Making matters worse is the lack of financial support these trainers receive. It's not like Clark County School District where athletic trainers are salaried employees and receive full benefits.
Athletic trainers in the WCSD receive a $13,000 stipend for their work, but must work another job in order to support a family or even themselves.
"We've only had one person apply the past five years, and when they found out what the stipend was, they hung up," Klonicke said. "They didn't even say 'are you kidding me?' or ask why we're not doing more for the profession. They straight up hung up on us."
In order to be employed by WCSD, certified athletic trainers must earn a degree from a college or university with an accredited athletic training program, pass a national certification exam and then maintain licensure to practice as certified athletic trainers in the state of Nevada because they are recognized as health care professionals. Since neither the University of Nevada, Reno nor UNLV offer an athletic training program anymore, Klonicke said trainers from out-of-state need to be recruited to come work for the WCSD. But with only a stipend and no benefits, no one in their right mind would move here to take a job like that.
As the Lead Athletic Trainer for the WCSD, Klonicke is trying to convince the WCSD to make athletic trainers a full-time position like Clark County and Churchill County.
"I was assured this would certainly be looked at for the future," Klonicke said. "Realistically, I've been in the district now for 12 years. This is my 13th year as a teacher and as a certified athletic trainer, and I get how the finances work. I understand we are in a terrible financial crisis, and we will be for who knows how many more years."
In the interim, Klonicke is working on a joint program with the Reno Orthopedic Clinic. Trainers work part-time at both the ROC and a school, while the ROC provides a small salary and picks up the tab on benefits to go along with the WCSD's stipend. When the partnership was posted on the National Athletic Trainers' Association website, six people applied within a week.
"That really proves that we need a full-time position. It's the only way we will be able to attract people into our schools," Klonicke said.
Still, Reed High has been without a trainer since the 2011 football season.
Football is the big sport where a trainer would be most needed. To compensate for the lack of a trainer, coaches are looked upon to do whatever they can since they all are required to have minimal first aid and CPR training. However, for anything more serious, emergency services must be called.
"To be honest with you, we're hopeful that nothing catastrophic happens," Reed athletic director Ron Coombs said. "But if something does happen, we have been instructed that for any injury that requires immediate medical attention, we call 911. Ankle sprains we can tape and we can ice. Anything major requires an immediate contact with a parent and an immediate contact with emergency services."
Reed High opens its training room after school for an hour and coaches supervise the room. But when coaches start doing things other than coaching, it puts those teams at a disadvantage.
"It's extra stress on everybody to make sure we're getting kids at least minimal attention for their injuries," Coombs said.
Reed isn't the only local school without a trainer. North Valleys, Hug and Incline are in the same boat. Like Klonicke, Coombs believes it's simply a matter of pay.
"It's just a little over $12,000 a year to be a trainer in the Washoe County School District. It's a full-time job with part-time pay," he said.

The MirBSD Korn Shell (mksh) is an actively developed successor of pdksh (the Public Domain Korn Shell), aimed at producing a shell good for interactive use, but with the primary focus on scripting. It is intended to be portable to most *nix-like operating systems as long as they're not too obscure. mksh incorporates improvements from OpenBSD and Debian, as well as bugfixes and enhancements developed for the MirOS, FreeWRT, and MidnightBSD projects and Android. The emacs command line editing mode is UTF-8 capable, and Byte Order Marks are ignored in scripts. The shell supports large files, as well as all pdksh and some csh, AT&T ksh, zsh, and GNU bash features, is compatible with the Bourne shell and POSIX (within limits), has no limit on array sizes, and incorporates some other useful builtins and features. While being already fast and small (without losing functionality), flags to make it even smaller can be given at compile time. An interactive shell reads "~/.mkshrc" on startup.

VRML97 (Virtual Reality Modeling Language) is the ISO standard for displaying 3D data over the Web via browser plugins ("HTML for realtime 3D"). X3DV is the direct successor of VRML97. VRML97 and X3DV have support for animation, real-time interaction, and multimedia (images, movies, and sounds). white_dune can read, create, and display VRML97/X3DV files and let the user change the scenegraph/fields. It also has support for stereoscopic view via "quadbuffer"-capable stereo visuals, and support for 3D input devices like a joystick, spaceball, or magnetic tracker.


text: This is a very cool idea. We only have 2 weeks, though... I'm not sure I can drink that much soda :) Yes, I'd love to see pictures. Does anyone want to volunteer to help on this? Etain Ursula von Bremen wrote: <<To make some nice quick/cheap candle holders, all you need is: * one 16-oz plastic soda bottle for each holder - keep the caps on! * black spray paint * some modeling clay * strong sharp scissors * newspapers, paper bags, plastic sheeting or similar I made a bunch of these and used them at our household dance practices and at the dance at the tourney of Ymir in Windmasters' Hill without mishap. If you're worried about dripping wax melting the plastic, you can put a small amount of water into each holder using a small pitcher. They look great, they're very light and cheap. If you break one, you can make a new one in minutes. You can find lots of bottles in recycling bins. DIRECTIONS: 1) Leave the caps on the bottles! 2) Use the best way you can devise to remove the bottoms of the bottles without stabbing yourself. 3) Trim the bottle so that you end up with something that looks like a funnel that with a one-inch rim: | | \ / \ / |___| 4) Optional: I cut a pattern into mine so that it looks like it's tiped with 3 fleur de lys - I took the idea from a picture of a Spanish wrought iron candleabra. I drew the pattern onto the bottles with a permanent marker. This can be a chore, but if you have several people working on this, it's not so bad. 5) Place the holders cap-side-up on your paper or plastic sheeting in a WELL VENTILATED area, and spray paint the outside surface of the bottles including the caps. Do not paint the inside of the bottles. Resist the temptation to glop a bunch of paint on in one go. Do one good coat and let it dry for about an hour, then add one more coat and let dry. 6) Put a small bit of modeling clay into the socket of each holder - this will keep the candle from wobbling around. I can email a photo of a finished candle holder on request. Cheers, Ursula von Bremen >> -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

In terms of the economy, President Barack Obama was dealt a tough hand even before he took the oath of office--and he's been trying to figure out the best way to play those cards ever since.
According to economists, the recession officially started in December 2007, nearly a year before Obama was elected president, and the financial crisis hit full force in late 2008, several weeks before Obama assumed his presidential responsibilities.
Given that 2012 is a presidential election year and Obama is running for a second term, Republicans in the House, the Senate and along the campaign trail are criticizing the president almost daily for not rebuilding the U.S. economy and putting Americans back to work.
It's not for lack of trying. Looking back at the three State of the Union addresses Obama has delivered during his years as president, the economy has been his clear and consistent focus.
And while he has taken numerous actions on his own authority, and proposed a number of different measures that Congress could adopt to help achieve that goal (most of them never acted upon), one thing has never changed. Year after year, the cornerstone of Obama's plan for U.S. economic recovery and future growth has been clean energy.
Take a look at the highlights of President Obama's State of the Union addresses from 2010, 2011 and 2012 to see how they compare:

Neighborhoods: Central, North End
Almost Comical – As a resturant owner I found it almost comical that this place can survive. I guess when your clientel is mostly from out of town you dont have to concern yourself with repeat bussiness. Do yourself a favor and read the reviews of this place and believe every word of the bad ones.
One of the best restaurants in Boston! – I'm not sure where the other reviewers are coming from, but Monica's is one of the best restaurants in the North End by far. And I'm a foodie. The food is excellent, not the plain old Italian fare you find at most places in the North End.
George and his staff are great and innovative chefs. My experience with the staff is that they are friendly, and very attentive. Take it from a long-time resident from the North End...Monica's is easily one of the best restaurants in Boston!
Bobby, North End Boston
HORRIBLE!!! Run from this place..... – If I could have selected ZERO stars I would have! This place won't last. Pretentious & rude people with no restaurant/service experience run this place. When I arrived, I held the door open for a woman pushing a baby carriage and 3 other women on their way out. The host (who is an incredibly rude, no class man) literally yelled at me to shut the door. Seconds later, we told him we had reservations and he said "well you are going to have to wait at least 15 minutes" - we waited at the bar and couldn't even order a drink for 20 minutes because the bartender was moving in slow motion. We are convinced she was sleeping. Finally we order 2 glasses of "house" chianti and the bill was $25.50. The chianti was awful! (in fact the entire wine list is all poor quality wine at $12 plus a glass). About 45 minutes later were retrieved by the disgruntled host and brought to the dining room. He went to seat us at a table and a female server yelled "they can't sit there! my people are going to sit there." so we had to stand in the middle of the dining room while they wiped of a table to seat us at which was basically on the 'runway' from the dining room to the kitchen. We sat there for 10 minutes and the server came over and said "Oh! now you are sitting here?" and left us sitting there for another 15 minutes. I finally asked for some water and he brought it over but said nothing else to us. I happened to be facing the window and noticed a very nice, quaint restaurant across the street called "Village Franscesca". My husband decided to run across the street to see if they could take the 2 of us for dinner. He came back and told me that they could take us across the street in 20 minutes. DO YOURSELF A FAVOR! and make reservations at Village Franscesca across the street in the first place and avoid this chaotic, rude MONICA'S. it's like the people from 'Celebrity Rehab' work here!! I am sorry we wasted our time (about an entire hour from the host stand to the table WITH a reservation). Before we left to head across the street, we observed people all around complaining about the food/service. The girl next to us order some sort of pasta and the sauce was a watery mess. So glad we left! People throughout the restaurant were popping their heads up like ground hogs with worried looks on their faces. Still not sure why these people were sticking around. Save yourself and steer clear of this place. HORRIBLE EXPERIENCE!!
Not worth you time – I wouldnt think twice about returning here if this was the last place on earth to eat. Service is horrible. Food took forever to come. I think after waiting about an hour and a half for a table, we only had to wait another 40-45 mins for our food to arrive. I would strongly suggest another place to dine, unless you have all night to kill and you dont mind waiting forever for anything!
Worst experience with an owner EVER – I dined with 7 friends of mine the night of Sept. 19 2009 at Monica's Restaurant in the North End. After a dinner with extremely poor service (grant it it was a busy night) we decided that the "20% auto-grat" on the bill was a little ridiculous. We paid the bill for the food and drinks in full and did not pay $10 of the $80 or so tip. I received a phone call half an hour later (they had my number from the reservation) that we had shorted them $20 on the bill and if they could charge that amount on a credit card. I told the caller that I would come back to the restaurant to explain (I was just around the corner). When I reached the restaurant the extremely rude hostess presented me with the bill saying we had shorted them $20 not $10 as we originally had. I explained to the hostess that the service we received that night was horrible and that we felt that the included 20% tip was excessive. She said we had no choice and we needed to pay it. A minute later a man appeared from the back and started verbally harrasing and threatening myself and my friend who had accompanied me back to the restaurant. He started swearing and telling us to "F*ck Ourselves". He said we must pay for what the bill stated. I calmly tried to explain that the service was not worth the 20%, simple as that. He began yelling in our faces and quite frankly scared me. I asked him who he was (as I figured I would call the restaurant and talk to the owner about this completely absurd, innapropriate and unprofessional encounter- I thought they needed to know this happened). The man looked at me and said he WAS the owner- I was in disbelief. I told him I had been coming to the restaurant for years (which is true) and that if that was true, that he was the owner and was treating me the customer this way, I would never ever return. He said he didnt care and that he didn't want "to see us there ever again". He repeated his offensive language and was yelling and getting all red in the face during this encounter. I honestly was completely taken back and just paid the $20 to get out of there, I was afraid he would do something awful. He had already grabbed my friends arm during all of this. His behavior is unacceptable and I will NEVER dine there again or the trattoria on Prince Street- he's awful! Now that I read other reviews I am finding im not the only one who has dealt with him, tooo bad, the food was good, but there are many other places...
Total Arrogance – There is nothing unique or special about Monica's. The staff is completely full of themselves with their phony Italian accents, lack of wine expertise (especially when detecting faults is a wine), and the food is less than adequate.
This is the last time I speak of Monica's!
Disappointing experience, order appetizers only! – We looked forward to eating at Monica's as it came recommended by a friend who enjoyed the food. We called ahead & made a reservation for 8:00 pm. They said we were late when we arrived even though we thought we were early as they had the res. for 7:00. This was the start of our evening. We were seated & the waitress was excellent. We ordered a bottle of Prosecco, 2 appetizers, which were delicious, & asked about the risotto, one of my favorite dishes. The risotto was so salty that I couldn't eat it. The waitress asked me if I was enjoying my food & I had to say "no". It was sent back & I ordered a pasta dish to take it's place. At the end of the meal we received our bill. They charged us 38.00 for the pasta replacement & also for the risotto which my husband wasn't enjoying but didn't have the heart to send back. We were shocked but paid the bill. On the way out we checked the posted menu & the most expensive item was a steak for $28.00. I guess they took us for a ride. I wish we had gone back in and questioned the bill. I felt like I had already drawn enough attention to ourselves by sending back the dish. I know that any decent restaurant with those price points should be gracious and charge the price of what a pasta or rice dish was listed on the menu & not take advantage of us because we were out-of-towners. We could have ordered the fixed price meal for $40.00 which included my replacement dish plus 2 others. We are from the S.F. Bay area so we know about food. My brother is an executive chef & he told me that it wasn't the chef who was offended by sending the dish back but the "front of the house". I hope this is helpful information to those visiting & wanting a good meal in the North End. If the cost of the meal is of any concern to you be sure & ask how much the specials are as they didn't tell us. They apparently called our dishes "specials". They were specials all right!
Great food! – I have been to Monica's a few times and the food was terrific! From the salads to the sweet sausage appetizer they were all so good. I have also thoroughly enjoyed the Linguine with white clam sauce. I frequently order this at restaurants and am usually disappointed. Monica's was some of the best i've had! This restaurant isn't always mentioned as the staple north end restaurants but i'd definitely recommend it!
Service ruined the meal and night – Food was good here, but the service ruined the entire experience. We had to wait even though we had reservations--that wasn't a big deal, but the host was very curt when addresing us when we entered. During the meal, the wait staff treated us like we were dumb even when we were asking conversational questions ("yes, we ONLY serve Italian wines..."). After the meal was over, the host started shouting and cursing (!) at a member of our party when our party member requested to see the owner to ask about the service - the host told the member of our party to "get out", so our friend had to leave--and that was even before our check came, while we were trying to enjoy the last of our ITALIAN wine. Would never go back here or recommend it to anyone--no matter how good food is, you can't enjoy it if you have to deal with staff that shout, curse, and demean customers.
Geeky Waiter..He should eat – We had a geeky waiter that acted like he was true "I'talian" ,think his name was Matt.
Outside his annoying way all was good. Joe Pesce young school.
He acted old beyond his waiter years.......what next Joe P ?
His own worst comic......give it up gramps. Just serve the food.

Paramedicine gets national tick of approval
Monday, 22 October 2012
Council of Ambulance Authorities Chief Executive Greg Mundy presents the University's accreditation certificate to Deputy Vice-Chancellor (Academic) Professor Arshad Omari.
In a WA first, ECU's Paramedical Science course has been given the tick of approval by the national body, which advocates on behalf of ambulance authorities.
The three year Bachelor of Science (Paramedical Science) degree was granted full accreditation by the Council of Ambulance Authorities (CAA) joining just five other institutions in Australia..
The process ensures paramedicine students are receiving high quality training and education meeting the requirements of modern ambulance services in Australia and New Zealand.
Vice-Chancellor Professor Kerry Cox said the University welcomed the full accreditation by the CAA.
"It is further recognition of the high-quality paramedical program that we established at the University five years ago," he said.
"We are now the only accredited paramedical science course in WA and the Northern Territory and one of just six in Australia.
"ECU's paramedical qualifications are recognised throughout Australia and New Zealand and our graduates have found employment in this sector around the world."
CAA Chief Executive Officer Greg Mundy said ambulance services played a vital part in Australia's health system which depended on the high-level skills of paramedics.
"The development of these skills starts with qualifications such as these," he said.
"Accreditation plays an important role in assuring the quality of paramedic programs being provided by the higher education sector and we are very proud of the relationships the CAA is building with universities such as Edith Cowan University.
"The education of the next generation of paramedics is vitally important to our members who are responsible for ambulance service delivery in each State and Territory in Australia and in New Zealand."
To find out more about the course visit the Bachelor of Science (Paramedical Science) website.

A Pittsburgh classic. Amazing food comes to your table. If you don't know Pittsburghers are friendly, go there. They will prove themselves to be friendly all the time.
Awesome place! Great food, great atmosphere and very reasonable prices. Stopped in with a large group after a trip to the PGH Glass Center. Good people!
My fiance and I have driven by El Campesino restaurant in Robinson Town Center a handful of times on our countless shopping trips and had always wanted to visit there. All of our friends had gone there many times and kept bragging about how good the restaurant was. So we finally decided to give it a try..
Amazing Thai food with good lunch prices. My favorite place to eat downtown.
Barley and Hops filled a ciritical need in the South Hills Suburbs - an area that is otherwise a craft-beer desert, in such stark contrast to the city.
But all good things must come to an end. Fiday, August 16, 2013 was they last day in business. Bye-Bye
Went to Matteo's with my husband to try something new...Wow,
wonderful food. The lamb ragu is to die for and I'm not a big lamb fan.
Atmosphere is great, staff very nice and accommodating. Liked it so
much, we took a group of our friends there a week later! Definitely
worth the drive from Sewickley
We have eaten dinner here several times--always sitting at the bar. The food is wonderful and excellently prepared. The risotto is always top shelf. The bartender is the best and the staff is friendly and attentive. You are missing out if you don't give it a try.
Lovely atmosphere, just what we needed in our area. Wonderful to
local and have this caliber of dining experience without trotting to the
"burgh" with all of it's baggage and disappointing dining experience.
Kudo's to you Linda and staff. Absolutely wonderful gastronomic experience and atmosphere
The best sushi in the Burgh!
great dining experience! Wonderful food and atmosphere.
Excellent food and service. You can have the spice level set at what you loke.
If you like real Thai spice levels make sure to ask for that.
Great food and great service. Not too spicy unless you want it that way.
I absolutely love Patron in Wexford. The service is right on, the staff is extremely friendly and the food is so delicious! My husband and I have made Patron our Monday night spot with our kids. My daughter is super picky and asks to go eat there all the time!! Although it is a good 30-40 minute drive it is so worth it. Keep up the good work guys!!!
My favorite dish is fajita quesadilla 12" tortilla with your choice of steak or chicken vegetables and cheese,try the best cheese dip in town baby! Homemade salsas, chips and Margaritas !
This is my favorite spot to eat on the southside! They have such a
different menu. Their fish sandwich and the salmon club sandwich
are the best things on the menu! I highly recommend them both!
Also the beer selection is great and the service is good too. Get
There early though cuz the place gets packed quick!
So glad they brought this place back - every night is a great night to head to Jame Street Gastropub!!!
Great food and exceptionally friendly staff! I only ordered for pick-up, and I loved everything I tried (shrimp toast, fresh Thai summer roll, & pad thai)! In addition, the courteousness and friendliness of the staff was so refreshing, that it makes me want to go back again just to support their business, given the multitude of Thai restaurants in Pittsburgh that compete with it. Looks like the restaurant recently got renovated, too, so I will have to try sitting in the restaurant sometime! Highly recommended!
What a surprise from 8th ave in Homestead. This place is small , clean, and the best Taco in PA!! They sell no booze but, you can bring in any type you want for a cork fee beer , wine, or hard stuff. This place is a must for TACO LOVERS in the burgh. Even have an egg taco all day for the breakfast luv'er. my favorite was the smoked beef brisket taco the only other place I had a better one was in Texas.
I just found Pittsburgh's best kept secret... the Baja Bar at the Fox Chapel Yacht Club. There is no other place in the city that you can eat, drink and dance under the stars to some of the best bands in the 'Burgh.
The food is unique and great! The jazz and other varieties of music are some of the best in Pittsburgh!! Some of the sessions are available at youtube.com/drfbm

It was close to sundown and something not-so-scary was lurking in the dark. Under the roof of the Orlando Science Center, families saw spiderwebs on the walls, spiders hanging from the ceiling and candy stations around every corner. Kids screamed not with terror, but with joy for the Wall of Dare, face painting tables and the chance to get scabs and warts. Members started to freeze, as the trick-or-treaters were, for the most part, treated to fun only the Science Center could provide.
For this was Spooktacular - a night where members could enjoy science-themed Halloween activities from the safety of their favorite Science Center. Check out the photos from the ninth annual event!
