Sen. Reid: Nevada has much to gain from clean energy development despite the skeptic
Supporters of dirty fossil fuels would have you believe that developing renewable energy in Nevada doesn't create jobs, is bad for the environment, and will cause your utility bill to skyrocket. This could not be further from the truth and their real objective is to shift the attention away from clean energy to maintain the status quo.
Solar Cells May Supplement Smartphone Batteries
Why don't power-thirsty smartphones incorporate solar cells, to reduce the reliance on batteries? Because in general, the kind of solar cell that can be fabricated in a lightweight, flexible and durable form does not capture enough energy per square inch to make it worthwhile.

Someday, solar panels could be just as common as wind turbines in West Texas and the two renewable energy sources would use the same infrastructure.
Crowdfunding Clean Energy
If you wanted to get large numbers of people actively engaged in helping to solve global warming, how might you go about it? For years, the main approach in the environmental movement has been to sound the alarm bell and implore people to consume less, switch to green products, recycle, and speak up to companies and politicians.

Ja, your bladder is shot. Degree of difficulty depends on how it's plumbed.
From everything I have read, I think my 8 year old tank is shot. I believe there is a leak in the bladder, but I want to run it by you folks to confirm my suspicions. I appreciate any input/advice you can provide. Thanks, and now on to the story...
For the last 3 weeks we have been seeing very noticeable surges in our water pressure. Going very low, not quite stopping, but then surging back up. It happens everywhere; the shower, flushing a toilet, running the bathroom faucet.
So, I finally had some time to do some research on what might be the issue. From that, I turned off the pump, drained the pressure tank, and checked the pressure on the tank. The factory setting is 18 PSI. I had 53 PSI. I thought that was a bit odd, so I shook (as much as possible with an in-line tank) and heard water sloshing around. I then pressed the pin on the schrader valve and a little water sprayed out along with the air. All this leads me to believe that the bladder has a leak in it.
Is that correct?
IF that is the case, it appears replacing the tank is as easy as unscrewing it and installing the new one. Is that a correct assumption? I'm fairly handy with a wrench, but I will admit I have no expertise in well systems.
Thanks again for your help...

Before you purchase a new tank I'd recommend that you consider installing a Pside-Kick http://www.cyclestopvalves.com/pdf/p...k-brochure.pdf. It's a Cycle Stop Valve with a small Wel-X-Trol tank (all that is required when using a cycle stop valve). A cycle stop valve will keep your pump from cycling and give you city like pressure. Call them and they will recommend a supplier in your area. It's simple to easy to install.

THis looks like a constant pressure system. I believe that is what I already have.
Either way, do people recommend the Wel-X-Trol brand over all others?
Not all, but I do!

With typical humor Don said, "Just like all great romances Roy and Jackie's began in a bar." He was referring to the fact that the two first met in 1959 in the famous Corner Bar of the Riverside Hotel in Reno. Since I was doing the PR work for the Riverside at that time, I would often see Roy there because he had preceded me on the job.
After a whirlwind courtship, Roy persuaded Jackie to wed, although he was 14 years her senior. The two then enjoyed 52 years of wedded bliss and eventually worked together operating a successful framing and art business.
As it turned out, Roy followed his excellent advertising career as a recognized premiere artist. His specialty lay in creating drawings of many historic and non-historic buildings, the latest of which was a commission from Governor Brian Sandoval to depict the Governor's Mansion in Carson City.
Last Saturday's event was very appropriate in that Roy was among the early pioneers of the Air Races. The late Bill Stead first approached Charles Mapes with the germ of an idea to create an air race in Reno. Once he had received Mapes' blessing and secured the hotel as the headquarters of the event, his next stop was at Harold's Club where he persuaded Roy to be one of the underwriters. The only other sponsorship of the first race was John Ascuaga's Nugget in Sparks.
The core of the first race was comprised of hydroplane racers with whom Stead was acquainted. Since he was only able to secure a half a dozen pilots in addition to himself, Stead felt that he had to flesh out the meager show. He dropped by my office in the Mapes one day and asked if I would contact Nevada's United States Senator, Howard Cannon (D), who had been a client of mine when he first ran in 1958. I asked Bill what I should ask the Senator to do and he replied that he would like to have the Air National Guard Demonstration Flying Team appear in Reno. We placed the call to Washington and made the request with Howard saying, "I'll get back to you as soon as I can with an answer." In less than two hours we had the return call, and the Demo Team was slated to appear at the races.
To further enhance the event Bill, was able to contact the Hot Air Balloon Society to participate, which might have well been the beginning of the current Great Reno Balloon Races.
For his part Roy Powers was so enthused that he convinced Harold's Club management to sponsor a cross-country race, from Florida to Reno, to publicize the Air Races. That event alone gave nation-wide exposure to the initial event. Roy also commissioned his artist, Mel Matthewson, to design the first Air Races poster as well as the permanent trophy that still exists.
Since the first race was held at the tiny Sky Ranch airport north of Sparks on the Pyramid Highway, controlling the dust on the dirt landing strip was the major problem. With the entire communities of Reno and Sparks abuzz with excitement, the races drew an astounding crowd. Also adding to the coffers of the Air Races was a grant from the State of Nevada, which was celebrating its Centennial year at the time. That first race was won by Mira Slovak, an ex-patriot from behind the Iron Curtain.
Last Saturday, during Roy's service, it was announced that following his instructions his ashes were placed beneath the home pylon at Stead. So, as long as the races continue, Roy will be able to hear the sound of the powerful engines as they roar overhead.
The first of the speaker to appear at the podium was Bob Carroll, local advertising exec, whose agency handled the RSCVA account when Roy was that entity's director of advertising. In his remarks, Carroll highlighted the fact that Roy's keen artist eye was a great help in developing advertising layouts. The next speaker was insurance man Bill Wallace, who is also a director of the Hawkins' Foundation. He recounted the fact that he had met Roy a scant 12 years ago and was so impressed with the latter's dedication to the community of Reno that he asked Roy to join the Board. The final speaker was Howard Putnam who worked with Roy when he (Putnam) was with United Air Lines and Reno Air. Both Wallace and Putnam told of how they enjoyed playing golf with Powers, particularly when they reached the 19th hole.
Following the speakers, the Color Guard presented an American flag to Roy's widow. After the brief ceremony the assemblage was treated to libations and food, just like a traditional Irish wake.
The primary reason the Reno Air Races has enjoyed such a long and colorful history is that Stead Air Base, formerly the Reno Air Base, was abandoned by the Army and became available through the Reno Airport Authority. If it had not, the Reno Air Races, which were marred by last year's tragic crash, would have never had such a long and successful tenure. Its 50-year-plus existence is probably the greatest legacy of Powers' outstanding Reno career.

|Topic Review (Newest First)
As somebody who has had a whole lot of dogs in my life, mostly rescues but also purebreds from breeders (and yes, I got my first purebred from a pet store, but I've learned since then)... I haven't found that one way of getting a dog is definitely better than another. But I have seen stats that lead me to believe that it's not really going to make a difference to the whole 'overpopulation' thing whether or not I buy from a responsible breeder.
The most recent stats I've seen are thus: "In the United states, there are over 23 million people who are going to get an animal next year. Some are already committed to adopting from a shelter and will already do so. Some are already committed to getting one from a breeder or other commercial source. But 17 million have not decided where that animal will come from and research shows they can be influenced to adopt from a shelterthats 17 million people potentially vying for roughly 4 million animals (the number of animals that are killed in our nations shelters)". Soooo, am I *REALLY* sentencing an animal to death if I buy from a good breeder? Nope.
Usually, if anybody tries to beat me over the head about buying a dog, I'll just tell them that I'm looking for very specific things in my dog, so I'm 'stacking the deck' in my favor by getting a dog with known bloodlines that will likely fit my criteria. Beyond that, I pretty much ignore them.
There are a lot of good responses, and along with some of the people here, if shelters want people to rescue maybe they should make it just a little more accessible!
Before Andy (my fiance) and I settled on going to a breeder we went down to our county shelter and looked around. None really popped at me, though I did almost want the shepherd mix but the way he lunged at my Fiance and the look he gave me it was a no. I'm sure he was just cage aggressive but should we take a chance and risk our current dog and our cats lives? So we looked some more and saw a dog that seemed to fit. A bully mix, not the dog I wanted, nor desired, but he seemed to fit, he was cute enough for me to warm up to. We go to the desk, stand behind this woman who filled out paper work and got approval. The lady said she would have to complete a full course of obedience before she was allowed to take the dog home, she said 'I'm a certified dog trainer, he will be in classes at my club with me' They said 'no they are held here, and you have to take them' They lady was pissed but obliged and was going through it. Then we got up there and asked about the dog we were interested in, they said he had a home. I was confused, the dog was right there still there, and all we asked was if we could see him, nothing more. I was shocked, they weren't at all friendly, weren't even interested in asking us if there was another dog we could look at or anything. Short and not at all personal. It felt cold and unwelcoming. We even looked at purebred shelters for gsd's...but again nothing fit the mold.
This is the first time I've got to a breeder in my life and I can tell you all my dogs were mutts except Chari. I don't care what people say about purebreds, they aren't any crazier or looney than mutts.
As far as I'm concerned I agree with a lot of statements made about shelters. If people would be more responsible and take ownership of what they create and take on shelters wouldn't be necessary! I didn't put any dog or cat there, nor will I ever! I don't intend to breed and so I spay and neuter at a reasonable time. I leave the breeding up to the professionals and scream at the idiot who just willy nilly lets their dog screw about and have puppies. It's those people who they should be shaming not the responsible owners and breeders.
pseudoswearing removed those facebook idiots. They don't know you!
(*sigh* :3 My rant over!)
My first GSD from a good breeder (I got her from her previous owner as an adult) had a lot more lasting issues than my rescue had. If not for those she would also have been a therapy dog, we did finally pass the test after a lot of work but she didn't get a chance to volunteer. She also did well at almost every sport we tried although we didn't do as much with sports since she had reactivity issues.
I had good experiences with rescue groups so far as far as their responses, but the dogs I fostered for them did not end up bring good matches for me so I haven't adopted any from them, my dogs have mostly been rehomed or abandoned dogs.
That said I plan to get my next couple dogs from a breeder, mostly for health reasons and because I have purposes in mind for them, and also because I am planning to get specific breeds that don't show up in rescue very often.
If you think about the reasons that dogs end up in animal shelters in the first place, they have nothing to do with responsible breeders anyway.
Stray? That dog had a home, somebody failed to keep them in it, or abandoned them.
Feral? You could argue that the wild is its home (and I don't know about you, but I haven't ever seen a feral dog in the states.)
The other reasons tend to be about society being very un-dog-friendly, or people having difficult life circumstances. The remaining reasons could be fixed with better access to training and behavior modification (or educating people not to get a dog in the first place if they don't have the time for it).
I know there are backyard breeders who will dump an unwanted litter or pregnant mother at the shelter. That's horrible and should be prevented. But the numbers about where people actually get their dogs from don't support the idea that there is an epidemic of purebred dog breeders out there flooding the market with homeless dogs.
For some reason, breeders bear the brunt of the attack when the real problem is that it is just very difficult to keep all of the existing dogs in their current homes, and not everyone spays and neuters yet who should. I'm sure the bred dogs on this forum comprise such a tiny percentage of the total canine population that it wouldn't make much of a difference if their people chose to adopt instead.
I actually don't encounter many people who are "strongly against all breeders."
If I did I would laugh heartily.
edit: because I can beat just about anybody on rescue bonafides, so please. yes. lecture me. go riiiight ahead with that.
I think in the end we all have our preferences I've had shepherds from both breeders and also spent 90 percent my life rescuing in 30 years of having gsds the saddest thing I see is gsd with there backs so bent that shepherds end up with hip problems leg problems the breeding certainly not changed for the good of the breed I was brought up to believe these dogs were strong powerful graceful and beauty second to none I've had best both worlds from a breeder whose breeding was based on uran von wields tiger land her temperament was second to none she was big beautifull couldn't be faulted and had dogs from someone who just decided have litter he I still have and no regrets then rescued many that was ill treated but in the end yes breeders do need be careful where there pups end up in the same instance puppy mills need to be done away with but also kennel club needs take responsibility too cause breeding guide lines are now seen to be causing health issues to so many breeds that it's detrimental to that breed

Ignore the FB crowd and recognize that breeders are an important part of the dog world. Pound saves have a certain purpose, but working and specialty dogs are a whole different equation. A save can become a highly functioning service dog even on occasion, but if you are attempting to create more than one then you need a consistent base stock from which to work. The breed is unimportant as long as the dog is physically capable of performing the tasks you wish it to perform. I also support the rehome program at the pound and everyone of my girls including my 2 GSD's where rescues, saves or long term fosters for behavioral concerns. So don't let some uninformed folks sway your opinion, just keep doing what you have been and know that you are helping them when you can. Some folks are just not up to the task of a rescue and prefer a dog with a little more predictable nature.
Wheelchair Bob
|Selzer, I see what you are getting at: Justifying it could be taken as an acknowledgment that it's better to get a rescue dog but for __________, and _________ applies to me so it's okay. But really, there doesn't need to be a justification, because "it's what I'm doing" is enough.
The thing is, if I want to give to the world hunger fund, I can do that. I might let others know that the charity exists and needs funds. But beating people over the head because they haven't given is over-board. Telling people that some child is going to go hungry today because you aren't donating the money you are spending on the internet to the world hunger fund is not going to win you any converts.
You wouldn't give me the time of day if I did that.
Yes, if you want the best shot at having a dog you can raise up from a puppy to do specific training and tasks that require a rock-solid temperament and strong drives, then you should probably go to a breeder that does this stuff with their dogs.
But by using this excuse, you are admitting that it is more appropriate in most cases to go to a pound to get a puppy, and if you weren't planning on doing this sort of work you would be getting a dog from a pound.
The problem is that people feel they must have an excuse, that they must justify their decision on where to get their next dog.
Let's not give them -- the obnoxious loudmouthed extremists that kind of power.

St. Louis Police prepare to secure World Series
The World Series will put St. Louis on a world stage. That means major security measures will be in place around Busch Stadium.
St. Louis Police spent time Monday coordinating security plans with the FBI, ATF, Homeland Security, and the Missouri Highway Patrol. St. Louis Police Chief Sam Dotson tells Fox 2 News they're trying to run through every possible security scenario in order to have a response plan in place. "We're doing everything we can to make sure no stone is left unturned, and the resources are there when we need them," he said.
Dotson says securing a national event like the World Series is a complex process, no matter where it takes place. "Whether we're in St. Louis, Chicago or Louisville it doesn't matter," he said. "We still have to go through the same planning process as if we're Boston or New York or L.A."
Dotson says many of the safeguards that were in place in 2006, like mechanical and K-9 bomb sniffers and surveillance cameras, will be used again. There will also be extra police officers on the streets, both in uniform and plain clothes.
Fans are advised to get to the ballpark early and expect long lines because of added security measures.
LAX officials eye security after dry ice bombs
LOS ANGELES (AP) - Los Angeles International Airport officials plan to meet with law enforcement authorities to examine potential security enhancements after two dry ice bombs exploded in an alleged prank by an employee at the airport.
The meetings also will explore the handling and transport of dry ice and other hazardous materials and possible improvements to those procedures.
Arif Alikhan, deputy executive director for Homeland Security and Law Enforcement at Los Angeles World Airports, said Wednesday that such meetings are routine after such an incident and will look at lessons learned.
Dicarlo Bennett was arrested Tuesday and booked for possession of a destructive device near an aircraft. The 28-year-old is being held on $1 million bail.
Two bombs exploded Sunday night; one was found undetonated Monday.
Audit critical of Navy security review system
WASHINGTON (AP) - U.S. officials say a draft Defense Department audit criticizes one of the Navy's security review programs for lower level contractors. But that process was not the one used to evaluate the former reservist who gunned down 12 people Monday at the Washington Navy Yard.
Aaron Alexis, the 34-year-old information technology contractor involved in the shooting rampage, had a secret security clearance for his job. He went through a different, more extensive review.
The Defense Department Inspector General found that a separate system used to review some contractors did not properly vet the workers. That program is generally for contractors who don't have security clearances.
Officials described the audit on condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to discuss a draft report. He was granted the clearance in March 2008.
NFL bans all but clear bags from stadiums
Fans heading to the Edward Jones Dome for a Rams game this season, will need leave their usual purses, backpacks and diaper bags at home. That's because the National Football League has ban all but clear plastic, vinyl or PVC bags inside stadiums for the 2013-2014 football season.
The bags can't be bigger than 12x6x12 inches. NFL approved tote bags will be sold in team stores and on-line, but a one-gallon freezer bag will also be accepted. And fans can still take in their palm-sized clutch purses.
NFL officials say they changed the rules to improve security after the Boston Marathon bombings.
More information about the new policy can be found on the NFL's website.
Race for the Cure organizers say security will be tighter this year
Organizers say that because of the Boston Marathon bombings tighter security will be in place at a St. Louis race.
Helen Chestnut--executive director for the Susan G Komen race for the cure tells KTRS News nearly 40-thousand people are expected for this Saturday's race. Police do not plan to search backpacks but Chestnut offers this advice, "You bring a backpack keep it with you. There are the see-through backpacks that are good too. But the main thing is to keep...your personal items with you."
Noticeable extra security measures include bomb-detection dogs, security cameras and uniformed officers. St. Louis Police Chief Sam Dotson also asks participants to report anyone who looks suspicious. The race kicks off around 7:30 Saturday morning.
New security measures in place for soccer tourney at Busch Stadium
St. Louis plays host Thursday night to a soccer exhibition featuring a pair of rivals in the English Premier League. With the Cardinals on the road, Busch Stadium welcomes some of the top soccer talent in the world. But those with a ticket need to heed some warnings. KTRS' Vicki Pimentel has this report.
"Soccer fans heading to Thursday night's exhibition between Manchester City and Chelsea should expect extra security checks at the gates. St. Louis police chief Sam Dotson says it will be a lot like the playoffs or World Series, but planning ahead can save fans time.
Dotson says, 'Post-Boston, the stadium has put in new security measures where they do random wanding. They've always done bag checks now they're doing an additional layer of security to look for those types of things. So leave those items at home; pocket knives, pen knives, mace, guns, no place at a soccer match.'
Chief Dotson also urges the public not to leave a weapon in the car and not to leave anything you value, visible. Reporting from St. Louis city, I'm Vicki Pimentel, KTRS news."
Security will be tight for 125th Annie Malone parade
It's one of the biggest parades of the year in St. Louis. The 125th annual Annie Malone May Day Parade will march through downtown Sunday afternoon.
In light of recent violence at a New Orleans parade and the Boston Marathon bombing, St. Louis police are adjusting their security plan. Police Chief Sam Dotson says the plan includes both plain clothed and uniformed officers and communications with FBI and state law enforcement officers.
"It includes an intelligence component," Dotson said. "Are there any threats against the parade? And the first answer to that is no, there aren't."
Dotson says parade goers can play a role in keeping the event safe by leaving their guns at home, and paying attention to their surroundings. Dotson says police will be very visible along the parade route Sunday and if parade-goers see someone acting strangely, like wearing a long coat or a trench coat that's inappropriate for the weather, they should point that individual out to an officer.
Parade organizers say they've also contracted private security for the event.
Extra security in place in St. Louis after Boston bombings
Authorities are taking extra security precautions around St. Louis in light of the Boston bombings.
St. Louis Police and Metro Transit authorities say they'd added security measures downtown Tuesday during both the Mayor's inauguration and the Blues game. But they say there have been no specific threats made. The extra measures are precautionary.
There was a stepped up police and security presence both inside and outside Scottrade Center Tuesday night. Hockey fans endured long lines to get inside, passing through extra screenings that included metal detectors and bag searches.
Just before the Blues game against the Vancouver Canucks, the team paid tribute to the Boston victims with a moment of silence.
Security issues addressed by Illinois Marathon organizers in upcoming Champaign-Urbana race
Officials at the Illinois Marathon in Champaign and Urbana say they will meet to talk about security ahead of their April 27 event after explosions at the Boston Marathon.
Jan Seeley is the race director at the Illinois Marathon. She said Monday that some runners and their relatives are already calling with concerns. She said one woman was angry with her Monday for not immediately calling off the race. Race officials plan to meet on Wednesday.
Seeley says it is unlikely the Illinois Marathon will be called off. But race emergency services coordinator Scott Friedlein says security measures such as bomb-sniffing dogs will be discussed.
The event draws as many as 20,000 runners to a series of races at different lengths. That includes about 3,000 registered for the marathon itself.
Discovery at Wash U could lead to more secure credit card payments
ST. LOUIS (AP) — A discovery made by two Washington University scientists could play a role in preventing credit card fraud.
Marcel Muller and Ron Indeck were attempting to shrink bits of data onto a hard drive in the mid-1990s when they learned that magnetic media has what amounts to a fingerprint.
Tiny signals are present on the magnetic medium that comprises both hard drives and the strips on the back of credit cards. If the unique fingerprint on those strips is compared to fingerprints in a database, fraud can be detected.
California-based MagTek has adopted the technology, seeding the market with millions of card readers that can detect the fingerprints. The company's chief executive says the technology just needs to be "turned on" and used.

In World Perfume Capital Grasse, France, the Nose Knows
by Denis C. Gagnon Some ten miles (16 km) up in the hills above Cannes, the small town of Grasse accounts for 2/3 of France's production of perfume essence and food flavorings, and those hills are alive with the flowers, in particular jasmine and roses, which form the essence of that production. Our first stop was the Musée International de la Parfumerie, which traced the industry's origin to the earlier tanning industry and the need to make leather smell better. The other thing about this charming town is that the name Fragonard is literally everywhere you look... keep reading
Narita and Sakura, Two Highly Underrated Tokyo Suburbs

But the city that's home to the airport, as well as the one alongside it, are actually atmospheric, full of history, and well worth working in before or after your flight in or out. Sakura is known in particular for its restored samurai residences and superb art and history museums, and Narita for landmarks such as the Shinshoji Buddhist temple, which is the most important… keep reading

92% of Duluth reviewers said Breast Augmentation was worth it
I went in for a FREE consultation and was greeted by friendly front staff and a cozy waiting area, had no wait, was seen right at appt time and then met with the office staff and Dr.Colgrove, they were very helpful with helping me pick out a size of implant and answered all my questions! Overall great experience! -daysha more
"31 Years Old, Breast Augmentation,..."
I'm looking forward to my breast augmentation with Dr. Zubowicz! I had 3 consultations with 3 different reputable surgeons in Atlanta and have chosen Dr Zubowicz for my procedure. He was by far the most knowledgable (or, at least the most willing to share his knowledge) and he spent more time with me than the other doctors would. He was also very respectful and refreshingly honest about what... more
"22 Y.O.; 350cc HP - Atlanta, GA"
I reviewed this website for MONTHS in preparation for my surgery. I saw three different surgeons and decided Dr. Mark Crispin was for me. We decided 350cc at the initial consult and thought it was perfect. But at the pre-op I tried on the 375 and became confused. After reading the 10% reduction for under the muscle I thought maybe 375 would be for me. I couldnt come to real conclusion so Dr.... more
"PreOp 34AA, 535cc - 2 Kids, 30lbs..."
As my pre op appointment comes close I am getting more and more excited and this starts to feel more and more real. I can't believe this is actually happening finally, I have been considering this since I was 18 and realized the girls wouldn't grow more than they were (full A). So I had two kids and gained about 60 pounds, after losing all the baby weight and then some (30lbs) and bf I... more

Hi Ladies! I'm sooo excited, and can't wait until the day that I get some love on top! I'm a 5"11, 160lb former collegiate athlete who has always wanted nice, full breasts to go along with the rest of my banging body! LOL! (Well, at least, it was banging before I had my 2nd child almost 3 yrs ago. I'm working out to get my 6-pack back by the summer!) I've always had small breasts (34A),... more

My breast augmentation was on 12/31 at Dr. Colgrove office and it went smooth. The 3 main steps thus far have been great. 1) My Consultation was the initial step (free). He didn't push me to go one size or the other. The nurse really made me feel comfortable and answered all my questions during the consultation. 2) Pre Op – this was done with another helpful young lady and she allowed... more
"Really Bad Breast Aug - Atlanta, GA"
I went to Tolson 6.5 years ago for only a breast lift. I was 19, just lost 30lbs went from a 34DDD to 32B/C. He told me I need implants (above muscle) along with the lift in order to fill out the breast. I didn't really want implants, but I said okay to saline because he was the doctor and "doctors know best". I went into surgery expecting to have a lollipop lift and small implants. When I... more
"No More Bombshell Bras, ALL ME! -..."
So I knew from an early age that I wanted to get breast implants. I wasn't completely flat (32B-32C), but I always envisioned myself with fuller breasts. I felt uncomfortable when I wasn't wearing Bombshells. (those add 2 cup size bras from VS) When I turned 18 and had the money saved up I went for my first consultation with Dr. Bauer at the Swan Center. I worked at a lingerie store at the... more
"Amazing results!! -Marietta, GA"
On December 27, 2013 I will be one year post my BA and I am extremely happy with my results!!

The results are better than I expected and I couldn't be more pleased! more
"1 Week Post Op! - Atlanta, GA"
Hi ladies, I'm a week out of surgery. I spent $5,840.00 on my breast augmentation and so far I feel it was money well spent. I was a 36c and went with 510cc silicone(the memory gel aka gummy bear). I'm still a little swollen, but the doctor says I'll probably be a big D or even a double D, yeah sounds big, but they actually don't look big for my body frame. I went on top of the muscle and love... more
"Absolutely Happy with Everything..."
My Decision with undergoing a BA experience has been running through my mind for several years, and after searching for a PS for awhile I found Prima Center (Duluth, Georgia). My experience with the staff and my thoughts about the facility has been amazing. I am extremely happy about my decision with doing the procedure with Dr. Zwiren. My Pre-Op date was on October 1, 2013. He explained the... more
Hello everyone, my surgery is in a couple of and I am so excited! I just am having such a hard time choosing sizes. I am 4'11/105 and I cannot choose between 304cc or 329cc. I've read countless reviews and It said that they are very close in size. I am trying to aim for more natural looking breast but more amplified. Becuase I am so petite I was afraid if I go larger it would overwhelm my... more
"BEST Investment I Have EVER Made! -..."
I've always knew that I wanted to get a BA since I was 16 because I never really had breasts. I had to pad everything (Bras, bikinis, etc.) So, it'll be embarrassing and I have self esteem issues even going out of the house without a padded bra. I waited until I was 22, so I could have the option of silicone gel implants. I absolutely LOVE my new boobs. I didn't go TOO big NOR to small, but a... more
"Excited and Freaking Out - Atlanta, GA"
Hi Ladies! I'm a little nervous about doing a BA. I've never been put to sleep (other than having my wisdom teeth out @ 22 yrs old - and it was painless). So it's freaking me out a little. A little about myself...5ft 2in tall - 116 lbs - 34 A (on a good day) and no children.

Celtics Morning Joe: Bass Finally Comes Out Of Hiding
|Posted by shawn cassidy on July 11, 2013 at 5:00 AM
Who could forget when Bass was the ultimate steal from Ainge when the Celtics and Magic pulled off a sign-and-trade for Bass and Baby. I think that was move Howard wanted when he still ran the team in my Orlando. Bass's first season with the Celtics earned him a decent sized contract that inked him for three seasons worth more than 6 million each season,but near the 7 million mark. He earned it after putting up a career high 12.5 points per game, along with another career best 6.2 rebounds. He was also solid with a block, and steal per game.
When it came to year two. Jeff Green returned, and Bass's role had changed. Bass and Green are both undersized as power forwards, and when it came to actaul impact Jeff Green go the minutes over Bass. We know Bass lost his starting role more times then I can remember. In year two Bass dropped down to 8 points per game, and 5 rebounds per game. I like Brandon's hustle, he has heart, and I think a big issue was his timid play in year two. He could have been more aggressive. He's undersized and I don't like that so much when it comes to starting in the NBA. He's a great backup big man. So what did Bass say after his summer of hiding.
"I don't know, man," Bass said. "I don't really try to be too smart of a guy as far as thinking about basketball and being an analyst. I just take care of myself and be able to come in and contribute and help the team when it comes time of training camp and the season.
"I don't know," he went on in regard to the potential for more Celtic changes.
He broke into a smile and added, "I've got kids, man. If I had to think about that ... c'mon man, they don't pay me enough to do all that. I've just got to play basketball."
So, what you're saying is that if you got a raise, you'd be all over this stuff?
Bass laughed again.
"If I got a raise, I'll start thinking about who we should bring in," he cracked. "I'll start thinking like Kobe Bryant, you know, like all these guys that the GM needs to talk to me first. But, no, I just need to be Brandon Bass and do my job — come in ready, come in in good shape and contribute any way I can."
Bass was smiling again later as new coach Brad Stevens moved to the second row to speak with him while the Celts were playing a summer league game a few feet away.
It was the first time Bass had spoken to Stevens, having just exchanged text messages prior.
"I haven't really thought about my role," Bass said. "I just think that I'm just going to come in being the best Brandon Bass I can be, and that's all I can take care of."
Though Bass and Doc Rivers both live in this area, the forward hasn't connected with his now former coach.
"I don't know, man," Bass said when asked about the dramatics that led to Doc's departure. "I don't even watch that stuff. I wasn't following it, so I don't really know what happened. All I know is Doc is in LA now. That's strange, I mean, but he's there. I don't really have an opinion about it. You know, you've got to do what's best for you and your family."
You will, no doubt, be hardly surprised that Bass holds a similar opinion when it comes to the process that has thus far resulted in the loss of teammates Paul Pierce, Kevin Garnett and Jason Terry.
"I don't have no impressions. I don't have no feelings," Bass said with no malice. "It's the business of basketball, so it comes with it. I'll be ready come training camp. I don't really get too caught up into what happens as far as the business side of it, because it's out of my control, you know. I just think that what we got, we can win with it. We've got a great young group, and we can build. So I'm ready to build."
Get ready to hear that "we can win anyway" refrain this fall when the Celts gather, but Bass stopped short of pegging it as the inside mantra.
"It really don't matter, because you never know what players are going to be with you, which players are going to leave," he said. "You never know, so you've basically got to take care of yourself and whatever (president of basketball operations Danny Ainge) puts together, that's what you've got to work with."
In a personal sense, Bass is dealing with a relatively quiet summer. Sure, he knows he might be traded as the Celts try to clear contracts from their roll, but with $6.45 million due next season and $6.9 million the season after, he has some financial security, if not a definite address.
"Now, see, things like that I think about," he said, smiling again. "But for me it's a blessing to be here still and to be in a position I'm in. So I'm up for the challenge."
Bass didn't let us in that much now did he? Bass is a wild card next season like so many on this roster. It's not a guarantee that he'll start. Sully took his job last season before the season ending back surgery. The rookie Olynyk has promise to be the stating center. Bass will have to prove himself all over again with a new coach. I hope Bass can take the next step. He's a solid guy off the bench. I think he'll be coming off the bench this coming season.

Sheesh, he sounds like Big Baby and Delonte.
I think he's wanting Danny to trade his ass.lol
Franklin says...
Doc lives in Orlando,and his family. We had to here about it all the time. Unless they wanted to live in LA? But what about this Bass.. Doc basically called you not good enough. He left you because he though u and this team couldn't win.
I think Bass showed pretty clearly why he is not good enough - he doesn't actually care.

Chris Webb introduces the subselect in this short 3-min video. It uses an MDX SELECT statement instead of a cube's name, and it allows you to pre-filter the members on a hierarchy before you run a query.
This 50-min video, part of our MDX course, by Chris Webb, covers three separate, advanced MDX topics: autoexists and the Exists() function and the Existing operator, solve order, and subselects. Not only does Chris carefully explain these important topics, but he also takes time to show everything in his detailed, live demos, discussing the code, and the results.
MDX has a lot of set and member functions that make it easy to create all kinds of advanced common business calculations. Watch this full-length, 1-hour 40-minute, demo-rich video by Chris Webb to learn how to compute important business reporting metrics using MDX. You will learn about: ParallelPeriod(), PeriodsToDate(), YTD(), QTD(), MTD(), Filter(), NonEmpty(), TopCount(), BottomCount(), TopPercent(), BottomPercent(), Head(), Tail(), Generate(), StrToX/XToStr function family.
In this 40-minute video by Chris Webb you will see common business calculations implemented in MDX: the relative tuple pattern, used for previous period growth calculations, percentage share calculations, and the relative set pattern, used for obtaining three-period moving averages.
The CurrentMember function is, probably, the most important function in MDX: understanding how it works is the key to being able to write all kinds of really useful calculations in MDX, such as time intelligence calculations. Let Chris Webb, noted authority on MDX, explain this function to you in this short, free video.
There are a number of important functions in MDX that return numeric values. Chris Webb explains these in this 30-minute, demo-driven tutorial, focusing on Sum(), Count(), Aggregate(), and other numeric functions like Min(), Max(), and Avg(). Importantly, however, half of this video is dedicated to the most important MDX function, CurrentMember, which is essential to writing real-world calculations, such as time intelligence.
Being able to think in sets is the key to being able to write more advanced queries and calculations in MDX. Chris Webb introduces the commonest MDX functions that return sets in this 40-minute, demo-driven video, including: .MEMBERS, CROSSJOIN(), .PARENT, DESCENDANTS( ), ANCESTOR(), .NEXTMEMBER, .PREVMEMBER, .LEAD() and .LAG(). You will need these functions for rudimentary navigation using MDX.
Learn how to calculate hierarchical ratio-to-parent measures in DAX, and how to use them in pivot tables, with Marco Russo, BI expert from sqlbi.com.
Hierarchies, including parent-child ones, can be created using a combination of a few DAX formulas and a data model in Power Pivot or SSAS Tabular. Marco Russo, BI expert from sqlbi.com, shows you how to work with them in this 55-minute video. Well-implemented hierarchies can greatly enhance navigation and usability, so learn how to implement their calculation logic by watching this demo-rich tutorial.
In most cases an MDX SELECT statement is used to retrieve data from a SQL Server Analysis Services cube. Let Chris Webb introduce this important statement to you in this 20-minute video.
Calculated members are the most commonly used way of performing calculations in MDX. Let Chris Webb explain the different ways in which they can be created in this 45-minute video, part of our online MDX course.
Learn how to use many-to-many relationships in DAX by applying formulas which correctly handle filter context propagation over relationships in this short, 3-minute video by Alberto Ferrari.
Alberto Ferrari, BI expert from sqlbi.com shows how to solve common business patterns using the DAX language in this 50-minute, demo-focused video. Patterns are useful for two reasons: they let you learn advanced DAX techniques and, by adapting their code to your needs, you can use them as a quick recipe for your own scenarios. This video discusses banding, computing new vs old metrics, and many-to-many relationship patterns.
There are many ways to select data in Excel: basic and advanced filtering, range selections, pivot table filtering, date and context filtering, sorting, ranking, grouping, slicing (including timelines), creating user-defined sets, and advanced data navigation. If you want to do things faster and better in Excel, make sure you become proficient with all the different ways of selecting data by watching this in-depth, 48-minute video tutorial by Carmel Gunn, Data Specialist from Prodata, and follow her many hands-on demos.
Carmel Gunn is a Data Management Specialist from Prodata. Let her show you Excel as an enterprise-grade BI client in this short video, in which she builds a fully fledged enterprise dashboard—in under 30 minutes!—and then shares it with others, even on mobile devices, such as an iPad, iPhone, Android, or a Surface.
Carmel Gunn, a Data Management Specialist from Prodata introduces fundamental concepts of Excel BI: measures, dimensions, attributes, and hierarchies, while explaining how to use them in your pivot tables. In the extensive, 30-min demo, you will also learn about the layout of the Excel BI tools, including the Pivot Table Fields List and its Fields Section, the Design ribbon, and even how to add a new calculated measure.
Time Intelligence just means doing calculations over periods of time, or over calendar dates. Let Alberto Ferrari, best-selling author of books on DAX, and a renowned SSAS expert, show you how to use TOTALYTD in this short 2-min video, in which he uses it to compute Total Sales Year-to-Date in a simple Excel data model.
Time Intelligence is a set of techniques for performing time and date-based calculations. It covers a broad set of calculations needed for business reporting. Let Alberto Ferrari, book author and a renowned Data Analysis Expressions expert, show you an in-depth tour of these functions, in this 1-hour video that contains 6 detailed, hi-def demos. You will learn about: calendar tables, time-based role dimensions, TOTALYTD, TOTALQTD, TOTALMTD, and the CALCULATE function used with time-oriented, predefined and custom filters, and dealing with semi-additive measures, including last-day, or last-non-empty aggregations.
Microsoft Clustering is a workhorse algorithm of data mining. It is used to explore data, segment and categorise it, and to detect outliers (or exceptions, anomalies). Each cluster represents naturally occuring groupings of your data points, grouped by their similarities, as described by their various attributes. In this in-depth, 1-hour 50-minute video, Rafal explains clustering concepts, the entire process, and all of the algorithm parameters. The detailed 12-part demo, which forms the heart of this tutorial, shows you the iterative process of clustering, explaining how to segment your own data, such as customers, or products.
Clustering is a popular data mining technique, often used for segmentation. In this short, 9–minute video, Rafal introduces these concepts, focusing on the reasons why it is useful to use clustering to find non-traditional segments. In the demo, you will see a clustering model, and we will use it to categorise new data in Excel.
A decision tree is a tree of nodes. Each node represents an input value that makes the most profound difference to an output that you wish to study. This free 10-minute video by Rafal introduces this powerful analytical tool, and explains the concepts while analysing simple retail data in a demo.
Decision Trees are the most useful Microsoft data mining technique: they are easy to use, simple to interpret, and they work fast, even on very large data sets. At heart, a decision tree is just a tree of nodes. Each node represents a logical decision, which you can just think of as a choice of a value of one of your inputs that would make the most profound difference to the output that you wish to study. This almost 2-hour, in-depth video by Rafal starts with an explanation of the three key uses of decision trees, which are: data classification, regression, and associative analysis, and then takes you on a comprehensive tour of this data mining algorithm, covering it in slides and detailed, hi-def demos, which you can follow. Once you try a decision tree a few times, you will realise how easy, and useful they are to help you understand any sets of data.
Create zoomable world maps that show your data using Power View in Excel 2013, and Bing! Rafal also shows geospatial aggregations, and a SharePoint dashboard with an animated bubble chart, in this free, 16-minute video.
Microsoft Business Analytics combines Business Intelligence with Data Warehousing and Big Data Analytics. This 1-hour 20-minute video by Rafal Lukawiecki introduces this concept by showing you how real-world analytics, created by a power user in Excel 2013, can be shared with others in a company, using SharePoint Server 2013, and subsequently scaled-up to the needs of an enterprise, by means of a SQL Server 2012 SP1 Analysis Services Tabular Model. Rafal covers the entire subject broadly, showing you some of the new Excel and SharePoint 2013 BI features, such as: the new Power View, Interactive Geospatial Maps, Data Models, Quick Explore, Timelines, and many more, in an extensive, 9-part, 55-minute, high-def demo, focusing on the enterprise lifecycle of user-created analytics, which forms the core of this video tutorial.
Data Analysis Expressions (DAX) is useful for querying data, in addition to its more common use for defining measures and calculated columns in PowerPivot or tabular models. Marco Russo explains the tools, including DAX Studio, and the syntax necessary for writing DAX queries in this 46-minute video, containing 7 detailed demos, part of our series on DAX. You will learn about the EVALUATE statement, how to control projection of data by using ADDCOLUMNS and SUMMARIZE functions, how to use the ROW function to test new measures for your data model, and how to use DAX measures within MDX queries. By learning these concepts you will be able to use DAX queries as a data source for your reports, and for Excel tables.
CALCULATE is the most important function in Data Analysis Expression (DAX) because it allows you to manipulate filter context, which is necessary for building real-world calculations. Let Marco Russo explain it to you in this 47-minute video tutorial that contains 5 detailed demos. You will learn: when to use CALCULATE, its syntax, how to manipulate filters at column granularity level, and how to transform a row context into a filter context. Learning these concepts will enable you to write advanced calculations in DAX, and it will make following the remaining modules of our DAX video series easier.
MDX, or Multidimensional Expressions, has the reputation of being a difficult language, but this reputation is undeserved, even if the concepts it uses are different from those of relational databases. In this free, 29-minute video, part of our series on MDX, world-renowned SQL Server Analysis Services expert Chris Webb of Crossjoin Consulting and Technitrain introduces three basic concepts: the use of unique names to refer to objects, tuples and how they are used to return values from a cube, and sets, which are ordered lists. Understanding these ideas will give you the theoretical foundation you need to write your own MDX calculations, and queries, for SSAS and PowerPivot.
Evaluation Context is fundamental to understanding the behavior of DAX. Marco Russo explains: row and filter contexts, their propagation through relationships, and manipulation using: FILTER, ALL, EARLIER, VALUES, RELATED, and RELATEDTABLE functions in this 50-minute video that contains 8 detailed demos. Learning these concepts will enable you to write correctly functioning formulas, and it will prepare you to fully understand CALCULATE, the most important function in Data Analysis Expressions, as well as the remaining modules of our DAX video series.
Introduce yourself to Data Analysis Expression (DAX) by learning the syntax and the fundamental functions of this language in this 40-minute video by Marco Russo and Alberto Ferrari, world-known SSAS experts. DAX is the language used to define calculation expressions in PowerPivot. It works in Excel 2010, and it is in the core of Excel 2013. DAX is also the programming language for Microsoft SQL Server Analysis Services Tabular Models. It has a simple syntax that will be instantly familiar to Excel users, because it replicates Excel syntax wherever possible. Nevertheless, DAX also introduces many new functions, in order to express tabular and columnar concepts, which are not part of Excel workbooks—Excel is focused on cells and ranges, while DAX focuses on entire columns and tables. By watching this video, which includes 9 demos, you will become familiar with the basic syntax of DAX, and you will be ready to write your first calculations.
Learn the difference between calculated columns and measures in Data Analysis Expression (DAX) in this free, 10-minute video by Marco Russo, a well-known book author on the subject. Calculated columns are calculated row-by-row when the content of a table is refreshed, whereas measures are computed at query time, by aggregating rows. However, they have different uses, including filtering or classifying data, so you often need to make a trade-off between purpose and performance.
See the power of Data Analysis Expression (DAX) language in BI Semantic Model (BISM) with PowerPivot and SQL Server Data Tools (SSDT) in this free, 20-minute video by Alberto Ferrari. In the demo shown in this video we create a simple data model, based on the AdventureWorks sample database. We show you how to write a challenging formula: counting how many new and returning customers make a purchase every month. If you would like to gain DAX skills, this video, first one in our series focusing on DAX, shows you what could be accomplished without even having to change the model of your data.
This 1-hour-20-minute video discusses the entire lifecycle of a Data Mining Model. You will learn how to build models and mining structures, starting by creating a Data Source and Data Source View, how to train it with your data, and how to view the results. Most importantly, you will also understand how to verify a model's validity, by applying tests of accuracy, reliability, and usefulness. You will understand, and you will also see being used, such key verification techniques as: a Lift Chart, Profit Chart, Classification Matrix, and Cross Validation. Finally, you will see how to predict unknown outcomes using your model. Not only will you hear in-depth explanations, but you will also see 11 live demos, showing you all the aspects of working with Data Mining Models, including using SQL Server Data Tools (SSDT), and Microsoft Excel, for predicting (scoring) sales to future, potential customers, based on their demographic characteristics, and their shopping habits, just discovered using a Decision Tree, and a simple mining model.
This 50-minute video introduces the fundamental concepts of Data Mining, a powerful analytical technology. You will learn about the process of data mining and the SQL Server Analysis Services (SSAS) Data Mining architecture, and its key concepts, including: Cases, representing your data, Mining Structures, used to describe Cases, Mining Models, and Mining Algorithms, which extract patterns hiding in your data. We briefly introduce 9 of the Microsoft data mining algorithms: Naïve Bayes, Clustering, Decision Trees, Association Rules, Sequence Clustering, Neural Networks, Logistics Regression, Linear Regression, and Time Series.

the lomo roll
by Chip
ESPN the Magazine called with a strange request. Hey (paraphrasing) can you go to Miami and photograph a MLB baseball player making sushi? Umm, sure? Turns out that Miami Marlins player, Logan Morrison, was designing his own sushi roll to sell at Mr. Yum in Calle Ocho. Why? Well beyond the obvious marketing on both sides, there was a quiet and very touching reason: $4 of every $18.95 would go to American Lung Association in memory of his father. Moreover, you […]

The Dynamic Router Lite II project is a router project by the Dutch national police agency that allows Web-based client-control over the next-hop router for the client. A Dynamic Router Lite II system is placed as a default gateway between one or more client networks and a router network with multiple gateway-routers on it. The Dynamic Router Lite II system does policy-based routing with policy-based DNS to match the routing policy. By default a client will have no active gateway, and any attempted HTTP traffic to any domain will lead the user to the router's Web interface, where the user can then pick an appropriate next-hop router. Once picked, all traffic for the client including DNS will be forwarded to the next-hop router the user picked.
