Today's users expect PC-like functionality from their mobile devices, including the ability to print documents. According to an October 2011 report from research firm IDC, mobile printing is the fastest growing segment in the document solutions industry and is expected to grow from 68.3 million in 2010 to 1 billion in 2015.
As the use of mobile devices in the work place increases, many employees want to simply click "print" from their tablet or smartphone and print to their normal workplace printer. Unfortunately, this option is not available on most devices.
In many companies, IT has misjudged the need for mobile printing and is now realizing that employees need to print from these devices just as they would from a laptop or desktop. IT also needs to maintain strong authentication and role-based security features, to ensure that mobile printing doesn't create new opportunities for data breaches to occur.
The benefits of deploying a mobile printing solution that offers robust enterprise security features and maximizes the mobile productivity of your workforce are worth exploring. Organizations that enable mobile printing can accelerate field and back office processes, save time, and most importantly improve mobile productivity.
Accellion's mobile printing solution features embedded printing technology from Ricoh. View a use case for mobile printing here.

Lately I've been crazy inspired with pimping my home and adding more personal and colorful touches. My main focus for now is my bedroom, living room and balcony. Even if you're on a very tight budget, there's little tweaks and things you can add that don't have to cost much, especially if you use washi tape. There's so much you can do with it and this DIY washi tape tree hat holder is my first project It costed less than 5 EUR and took me 5 minutes to make. Take a look!
What you'll need:
- large washi tape (in the color you need)
- wall hooks (I used 7)

King's Day Orange Make Up Tutorial
April 21, 2014Comments (2)
I don't need a reason to wear bright colors but some celebrations dictate a color etiquette that must be followed. This Saturday Holland will celebrate King's Day and everybody in town will wear orange. At least I know Amsterdam does because other cities not so much Even though I never really was a fan of orange, lately I've been wearing it a lot both in my outfits and make up. And on top of that the color is totally on trend both in fashion and beauty
Inspired by these beauty trends and King's day I created this orange make up look and added touches of blue/teal in my natural hair. Take a look!
How To: King's Day Orange Make Up Tutorial
1. I started with applying Amazing Cosmetics Concealer. To make sure the color I apply on top pops out I colored my eyelid with a white eye pencil.
2. I proceeded with Catrice's Papaya Don't Preach. Starting 2/3 of the eyelid I added Flormar's Orange Neon Eye Shadow making sure I also applied the color in the crease.
3. To add more depth, I proceed with adding the green-bronze shade in Sleek's palette Original in the outer corner and crease. I finished by adding the bronze on top of that. Make sure to blend the eye shadow on top to create a smooth finish.
4. Take the metallic blue in the palette and apply it on your lower lid. I also applied Smashbox Always Sharp black eye pencil. I feel like I need to finish it with a black pencil so the eye doesn't look 'naked'.
5. Since this make up look is quite heavy, I think it looks gorgeous with an eyeliner line and two layers of black mascara.
6. For the lips I first applied a bit of Amazing Cosmetic's Concealer. By doing this I make sure the lip color pops even more which is what I want for this look. I mixed two lipsticks to obtain the color I wanted, an orangy-coral shade. I used Flormar's Long wearing lipstick L24 and Hema's 25.
Dark Teal Natural Hair
I love playing with color and even though I don't need a special occasion to color my hair happy, for King's Day The Body Shop has two fun, hair chalks (pink and blue) in store that make it easy to add a touch of color to your hair for a day. (it goes away with washing your hair). On blond hair the blue becomes a bright baby blue while on dark hair it turns into this gorgeous dark teal. The little pot makes it easy to apply it although for my ends I had to gather them in my hand in order to be able to apply the hair chalk. Once finished it's easy to store and use for a next time!
Make Up Products Used:
- Gemey Maybelline Terre Indienne Teint Bronze Powder
- Amazing Cosmetics Medium Golden Concealer
- Flormar White Nr. 113 Eye Pencil
- Catrice Papaya Don't Preach
- Flormar Orange Neon Eye Shadow
- Sleek Make Up i-Divine The Original
- Smashbox Always Sharp Black Eye Pencil
- Rimmel 003 Black Exaggerate Eye Liner
- Catrice Ultimate Lash Multimizer Volume Mascara
- Flormar Long Wearing L24 Lipstick
- Hema Moisturizing Lipstick 25
- The Body Shop Blue Hair Chalk

Magic Monday: 5 Morning Intentions
April 21, 2014Comments (2)
How many times does your alarm go off in the morning, you get up and end up rushing through your morning and to work? I remember my mornings like this and it would make me feel stressed, rushed and powerless as my outer circumstances determined my day instead of me being aware and in control of how things develop.
Starting your morning with the right foot is as important as having breakfast as it sets the tone for your day. If you start of numbed, rushed and stressed what kind of day can you expect? And what if you would start your morning aware of what you want, in peace and mindful, what kind of day can you expect?
I was a victim of my rushed mornings and decided to switch and create a morning ritual. This is how I start my day:
1. I wake up with gratitude and saying thank you for another day, my health, my home, house, etc.
2. I meditate for 10-15 minutes.
3. I set my intentions. This may vary while others remain the same
4. Drink my lemon water with turmeric and coconut oil.
Morning Intentions
Whereas before I would rush through my morning letting outer circumstances determine my day and mood I never really stopped to think what I wanted to achieve that day, how I wanted to feel, what I wanted to do. Setting my morning intentions feels like putting an end destination in my personal GPS. Consciously and unconsciously throughout the day I strive to achieve what I stated in the morning and outer circumstances affect me much less.
What morning intentions do I use? Below 5 of my favorite ones
How do you start your morning?

Forever 21 Amsterdam Finally Here!
April 18, 2014Comments (2)
After Forever 21 announced they would open a store in Amsterdam 'soon' it seemed like an eternity before it gotb here. But the wait is over as Amsterdam now welcomes the long awaited shop at the Rokin 12 and Kalverstraat 11. Tomorrow Forever 21 will open at 10:00 for the grand public and the first 500 customers will receive a € 21 gift card. What are the colorful must-haves and what can you expect from the collection? Take a look!
Being colorful fashionista there's a handful of stores where I can delight in the bright colored items and Forever 21 is definitely one of them. The collection at Forever 21 in Amsterdam sets the tone for warm Summer festivals with bright, jazzy aztec, fruity and flower prints and eye-catching pieces. Besides festivals Summer is also synonymous with the beach and Forever 21 has you covered with bright bikinis, beach cover ups, cropped tops, palazzo pants, funky glasses and season chic hats.
Besides the seasonal must-haves Forever 21 also presents a large selection of basic tops, t-shirts, pants and lots of shoes!
I could go on and on for hours because when you enter Forever 21 it leaves you wanting more. If you're in Amsterdam, stop and take a look because you won't be disappointed
Below my favorite items from Forever 21 Amsterdam!

Baby Shower Idea: DIY Onesies Bouquet
April 16, 2014Comments
Ladies, I'm back! And boy did I miss blogging
I have been busy in the meanwhile creating make up looks, taking pics and making videos and started my portuguese blog Pink Paixão in the meanwhile, check it out!
Two weeks ago I attended a baby shower of a dear friend. This gave me the perfect opportunity to be creative and create an adorable DIY project: a onesies bouquet! A while ago I had collected several baby shower ideas on Pinterest so it wasn't hard to get inspired when it came to snacks or gifts.
This onesies bouquet is easy, colorful and makes an awesome center piece! Hope you enjoy it as much as I enjoyed making it
Thank you for reading!

While the game is unreleased (and thus not easily exhibited here), I've been working on WildStar since early 2011-- first as a Content Designer (Quest design, game scripting, writing, etc.) and now as a Cinematics Designer, which involves doing a lot of scripting and a little bit of everything else. There's also plenty of Marketing content that I've assisted with, which you can read more about below.
I've Never Wanted to Buy a Virtual House More Than I Do Right NowMike Fahey, Kotaku.com
The WildStar Flicks series has, from the beginning, been a 100% developer-driven effort to communicate WildStar's personality in ways that regular gameplay videos can fail to demonstrate.
On every film, I work with our team lead and animators to get each sequence scripted and assembled in-game, rendered in multiple passes, and assembled during postproduction. The primarily challenge of this process is the fact that our films rely on a constantly changing game not built for frame-by-frame image rendering. Through constantly improving workflows, developing tools through WildStar's LUA-based addon system, and working directly with our team of engineers, we've been able to push the boundaries more and more with each new episode.
As described on TVTropes.org --
The Daily Blink is a World of Warcraft webcomic launched in January 2010. The first strips (as the name suggests) presented the comic as a fake news source for the World of Warcraft universe a la The Onion, complete with advertising parodies, but over its short life it has quickly grown into something more thematically bizarre, technically complex, and universally silly.
The strip incorporates Machinomic tactics, typographic gags, and a hefty helping of Photoshop to create anything from story-driven multipanel cartoons to parody magazine covers. Individual entries satirize the game universe as well as the real world culture of World of Warcraft fans, with a special emphasis on forum debates, recent news, and controversies within the player base.
DevSpeak, the Cinematics Department's second major line of content, was conceived early on as a way to get past the pitfalls of having to tell people how good the game is, simply showing it -- and letting people come to that conclusion on their own.
Though no longer involved in the day-to-day production of making new episodes, I supply the capture artists with an in-game suite of tools built for machinima production, as well as contribute to the disclaimers that appear in the introduction.
"RiffTrax is excited to kick off our involvement with fan riffing, and our partnership with Riff Raff Theater is the perfect way to do so."Mike Nelson, Host, Rifftrax & Mystery Science Theater 3000
Riff Raff Theater was a 'fan riffing' group that originated on the forums of Rifftrax.com, the post-MST3k project of Mike Nelson, Kevin Murphy, and Bill Corbett. Utilizing crowdsourcing methods to allow fans to contribute to jokes and get involved with the creative process, we were recruited by Rifftrax to assemble a script for Batman and Robin: a movie so bad, that Mike would do anything to avoid having to watch it repeatedly, including delegating the writing duties to us.
Outside of this collaboration, our performance group (consisting of myself, Dave Atwater, and Todd Gutknecht) did regular shows at the Englert Theatre in Iowa City, IA and released mp3's on Rifftrax's fan-riff marketplace. A total blast of a project, and something I haven't quite given up hope on doing again someday.
The best possible summary of my experience working on Pink Five without writing a full-on blog post: It was my first major project after moving to Hollywood as a bright-eyed kid from the midwest, I was given responsibilities far beyond what my resume suggested I could handle, I learned a decade's worth of experience under the mentorship of director Trey Stokes (who knew my capabilities far better than I ever did), and I wouldn't trade the experience for anything... except *maybe* all the sleep I never got. (Nahhhhhh.)
Part of the Art team at Budcat Creations, with credits in Band Hero (PS2), Guitar Hero 5 (PS2), and Guitar Hero: Metallica (PS2/Wii) before shifting over to a role in design.
Yes, we did ports. Even so, I was pretty proud of the work we did, especially on GH: Metallica. It wasn't the most glamorous project, but we got *everything* from Neversoft's 360/PS3 version onto the Wii and the PS2 -- every non-DLC feature, every character, on schedule, and without destroying the enjoyment of the game from the inside out. I spent the majority of my time poly-reducing and retexturing venues, as well as working on character models. Despite our hard work, and the best efforts of our bosses, Metallica did not make their dream come true, and visit Iowa for a tour of the studio.
(Also despite the best efforts of our bosses, Activision did not keep Budcat open for much longer.)

Bond Reinvented
An exclusive look inside the making of Quantum of Solace, and Daniel Craig's next turn at playing superspy James Bond.
David Giammarco
From the Print Edition:
Daniel Craig, November/December 2008
London's famed Pinewood Studios is abuzz. Not only is the colossal 007 soundstage—the largest in the world—engulfed in flames and pyrotechnic explosions for the harrowing climax of the 22nd James Bond film, Quantum of Solace, but it's the last day of principal photography for what has been one of the most ambitious and tumultuous Bond films in the legendary franchise's 46-year screen history.
Two years ago, producers Barbara Broccoli and her stepbrother, Michael G. Wilson, took an enormous gamble on Casino Royale—amid much media and fan uproar—by completely rebooting the 007 series. Their back-to-basics decision meant jettisoning both the trademark fantasy formula for grittier storytelling, and the ultra-suave and sophisticated Pierce Brosnan for the more rough and rugged Daniel Craig. But the payoff proved to be an unexpected windfall, garnering not only glowing critical raves around the globe, but a record-breaking box office jackpot of nearly $600 million worldwide.
Now, in an effort to raise the bar even higher, more changes are in store for Quantum of Solace. Having proven himself worthy of the iconic tuxedo, Walther PPK and "00" license to kill, Daniel Craig considers that success double-edged. "Now people may look back and say, 'Oh, Quantum of Solace isn't as good as Casino Royale,'" muses the 40-year-old Craig. In other words, the fear is that Casino Royale's success was due in part to "the curiosity factor about the new guy," he says with a smile.
"So now if this one goes wrong, it really is all my fault," quips Craig with a huge burst of laughter.
But make no mistake: Bond is serious business. Especially for Craig. He repeatedly stresses the need to push the series even further with Quantum of Solace. "We can't just repeat what we did last time," states Craig. "Otherwise, we really will fail. What we've deliberately done, and I've really put all my energy into doing, is once again creating a very different movie. We have to. Because I feel we owe it to the people who loved Casino Royale to give them something different, and something even better."
The heat is on. Quite literally. The special effects team reignites the inferno for another take of Craig and Ukrainian-born actress Olga Kurylenko—playing the feisty femme fatale Camille—fighting their way out of a collapsing hotel, the exteriors of which have already been filmed on location in the desolate desert landscape of Chile (doubling for Bolivia) three months earlier. A team of makeup artists carefully applies one last coating of flame-retardant gel to the faces and extremities of Craig and Kurylenko.
The two get into position just outside a doorway jamb. Craig gives a confident nod to Kurylenko as they both pause to exhale a deep breath. "Action!" suddenly echoes loudly throughout the set. Right on cue, plumes of smoke billow out of the charred remains, ear-piercing detonations begin discharging and flames soar around the pair as they race through the collapsing building, dodging explosions and falling debris.
As the temperature inside the 007 soundstage quickly rises to stifling levels, the only person not breaking a sweat is the director, Marc Forster. With three cameras rolling simultaneously on the dangerous action sequence, Forster is calmly watching the pivotal stunt on multiple video monitors, intensely studying the pair's escape route through the crumbling smoke-filled set.
"Cut!" he yells over the controlled chaos. Breathless, Craig and Kurylenko return to Forster's side to watch their choreographed maneuvers on the playback monitors. If Forster strikes you as an odd choice to be helming a $200 million James Bond thriller, you're not alone. The soft-spoken, German-born filmmaker was just as perplexed when producers Broccoli and Wilson approached him with the unusual offer. Acclaimed for his low-budget, Oscar-nominated, intimate character-dramas like Monster's Ball, Finding Neverland and The Kite Runner, Forster admits he initially thought it was a practical joke when he received the phone call. "My first words were, 'I think you've got the wrong director,'" recalls the 39-year-old Forster with a laugh. "Then, 'Why me?'
"But Barbara said that because they started taking Casino Royale in a different direction with Daniel, they wanted to take it even further with a real storyteller. And they offered me total creative freedom . . . so I felt I could explore the fascinating psychology of the beginnings of James Bond. Plus, Daniel is such an interesting actor, and I had never done an action movie, let alone a movie with a budget over $20 million. So I figured I could learn a lot from this . . . "I mean, if you're going to make a commercial film, then why not do the crown jewel of them all," chuckles Forster. "And that's James Bond!"

Click here to download the complete results of the 2011 State Tax Survey.
When it comes to state-tax enforcement, it's getting scary out there for corporate taxpayers. Witness the Securities and Exchange Commission's entry into the state-tax fray with an apparently unprecedented action against Hudson Highland, a staffing firm based in New York.
The SEC charged that the company allowed its Hudson North America subsidiary to fail to collect state sales tax from its customers. Although such failures are typically regarded as state matters, the SEC charged that federal securities laws were also violated. While the $200,000 settlement was not a particularly harsh penalty for the $795 million company (which neither admitted nor denied the SEC findings), the case has sent shock waves through corporate tax departments.
Why the worry? This newfound federal interest in state-tax collection signals a significant intensification of corporate taxation efforts — efforts that were already on the fast track at the state and local level in the wake of the recession (see "The Tax Men Cometh," May 2009). Faced with huge budget deficits and public antipathy to tax hikes, states are aggressively trying to find new ways to raise revenue.
Many are attempting to expand the definition of what constitutes "nexus," a business connection to a given state that provides the state with a basis for collecting taxes — an issue that tax authorities, courts, and companies have debated for years. Others want to claw back the incentives they once happily provided to businesses in order to foster economic development.
The situation doesn't just frustrate companies — it infuriates them. In CFO's 2011 State Tax Survey, conducted in January with KPMG and yielding responses from 151 tax directors and other finance executives, one respondent complained, "The states are in a pure 'money grab' mode and don't care about policy, the law, or fairness."
The Budget Abyss
Driving the dash for cash is a plethora of persistently unbalanced state budgets. No fewer than 45 states are expecting 2012 shortfalls relative to their 2011 outlays, according to the Center on Budget and Policy Priorities, a think tank. (For most states, fiscal 2011 began in mid-2010.) Further, while most states have had budget deficits in the past two years, federal stimulus money helped them fill the gaps temporarily, notes Harley Duncan, managing director in the state and local tax group of KPMG's national tax practice. By the middle of this year, however, most of the stimulus money is likely to run out. "State bills are going to have to be paid with real money at some point," Duncan says.
One way states are attempting to raise revenue without tax hikes is through clawbacks of corporate tax incentives. Because of the recession, some companies have not performed as well as states expected when they provided tax sweeteners in exchange for corporate relocation or expansion. In such instances, the states can make a strong case, experts say. "The company is benefitting from the services and the infrastructure that the state provides…and the company is not paying its fair share of the costs," says Robert Willens, a tax accountant and CFO columnist. "That becomes a very persuasive argument to the courts." Indeed, survey respondents fear that California and Illinois, two of the most financially battered states, are among those "very likely to pursue clawbacks."

Bruises and Blood Spots Under the Skin
Topic Overview
Bruises develop when small blood vessels under the skin tear or rupture, most often from a bump or fall. Blood leaks into tissues under the skin and causes the black-and-blue color. As bruises (contusions) heal, usually within 2 to 4 weeks, they often turn colors, including purplish black, reddish blue, or yellowish green. Sometimes the area of the bruise spreads down the body in the direction of gravity. A bruise on a leg usually will take longer to heal than a bruise on the face or arms.
Most bruises are not a cause for concern and will go away on their own. Home treatment may speed healing and relieve the swelling and soreness that often accompany bruises that are caused by injury. But severe bruising, swelling, and pain that begin within 30 minutes of an injury may mean a more serious problem, such as a severe sprain or fracture .
If you bruise easily, you may not even remember what caused a bruise. Bruising easily does not mean you have a serious health problem, especially if bruising is minimal or only shows up once in a while.
- Older adults often bruise easily from minor injuries, especially injuries to the forearms, hands, legs, and feet. As a person ages, the skin becomes less flexible and thinner because there is less fat under the skin. The cushioning effect of the skin decreases as the fat under the skin decreases. These changes, along with skin damage from exposure to the sun, cause blood vessels to break easily. When blood vessels break, bruising occurs.
- Women bruise more easily than men, especially from minor injuries on the thighs, buttocks, and upper arms.
- A tendency to bruise easily sometimes runs in families.
Occasionally after an injury, blood collects and pools under the skin (hematoma), giving the skin a spongy, rubbery, lumpy feel. A regular bruise is more spread out and may not feel like a firm lump. A hematoma usually is not a cause for concern. It is not the same thing as a blood clot in a vein, and it does not cause blood clots.
Bruises that do not appear to be caused by an accidental injury may be caused by abuse. It is important to consider this possibility, especially if the bruises can't be explained or if the explanations change or do not match the injury. Report this type of bruising and seek help to prevent further abuse.
Blood spots
Blood spots under the skin may be either purpura or petechiae . Purpura might look like bruises, but they are not caused by an injury as most regular bruises are. Petechiae don't look like bruises. They are tiny, flat, red or purple spots in the skin, but they are different than the tiny, flat, red spots or birthmarks (hemangiomas) that are present all the time.
Sudden unexplained bruising or blood spots under the skin or a sudden increase in the frequency of bruising may be caused by:
- A medicine, such as aspirin or blood thinners ( anticoagulants ).
- Infection that causes the buildup of toxin in the blood or tissues (sepsis).
- A bleeding or clotting disorder , such as hemophilia , von Willebrand's disease , thrombocytopenia , or another less common bleeding or clotting disorder.
- Other diseases that
affect clotting. Examples include:
- Chronic inflammatory diseases, such as lupus .
- Liver disease, such as cirrhosis .
- Some types of cancer, such as Hodgkin's disease , leukemia , or multiple myeloma .
- Inflammation of a blood vessel ( vasculitis ).
- Malnutrition, such as deficiencies of vitamins B12 , C, or K, or folic acid .
Medical treatment for abnormal bruising or blood spots focuses on preventing or stopping bleeding, changing or adjusting a medicine that may be causing the bruising, or treating the medical problem that is causing the bruising.
If the skin is injured over a bruise, be sure to watch for signs of a skin infection .
Check your symptoms to decide if and when you should see a doctor.

Home Treatment
If your bruise does not require an evaluation by a doctor, you may be able to use home treatment to help relieve pain, swelling, and stiffness.
- Rest and protect a bruised area.
Ice will reduce pain and swelling.
Apply ice or cold packs immediately to prevent or minimize swelling. Apply the
ice or cold pack for 10 to 20 minutes, 3 or more times a day.
- For the first 48 hours after an injury, avoid things that might increase swelling, such as hot showers, hot tubs, hot packs, or alcoholic beverages.
- After 48 to 72 hours, if swelling is gone, apply heat and begin gentle exercise with the aid of moist heat to help restore and maintain flexibility. Some experts recommend alternating between hot and cold treatments.
- Compression, or wrapping the bruised area with an elastic bandage (such as an Ace wrap), will help decrease swelling. Don't wrap it too tightly, as this can cause more swelling below the affected area. Loosen the bandage if it gets too tight. Signs that the bandage is too tight include numbness, tingling, increased pain, coolness, or swelling in the area below the bandage. Talk to your doctor if you think you need to use a wrap for longer than 48 to 72 hours. A more serious problem may be present.
- Elevate the bruised area on pillows while applying ice and anytime you are sitting or lying down. Try to keep the area at or above the level of your heart to help minimize swelling.
- Gently massage or rub the area to relieve pain and encourage blood flow. Do not massage the bruised area if it causes pain.
- If your bruise is causing pain, take an over-the-counter pain medicine, such as acetaminophen (Tylenol), ibuprofen (Advil, Motrin), or naproxen (Aleve). Read and follow all instructions on the label.
- If
desired, apply a natural product directly to the bruise.
- Witch hazel may help heal damaged veins.
- Arnica may stimulate healing.
- Do not smoke or use other tobacco products. Smoking slows healing because it decreases blood supply and delays tissue repair. For more information, see the topic Quitting Smoking.
Symptoms to watch for during home treatment
Call your doctor if any of the following occur during home treatment:
- A bruise lasts longer than 2 weeks.
- Signs of skin infection develop.
- Symptoms become more severe or frequent.
- New symptoms develop.
You can't always prevent bruises , but most of the time bruises are not a cause for concern.
- If you take aspirin, other nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs), or blood-thinning medicines ( anticoagulants ), keep regular appointments with your doctor so that he or she can monitor your medicine dosages and make any necessary changes or adjustments.
- Eat
a variety of foods to avoid dietary deficiencies. Nutritional deficiencies of
vitamins C, K, or B12, or
folic acid
can affect blood clotting. Include a daily
selection of:
- Whole-grain and enriched breads, cereals, and grain products.
- Vegetables.
- Fruits.
- Milk, cheese, and yogurt.
- Meats, poultry, fish, eggs, dried beans and peas, and tofu.
- Do not take dietary supplements that may increase bruising, particularly if you take a blood-thinning medicine. Dietary supplements that may increase bruising include fish oil, vitamin E, garlic, ginger, and ginkgo biloba.
Bruises are often the first sign of abuse. You may be able to prevent further abuse by reporting it and seeking help.
- Call your local child or adult protective agency, police, or clergy or a health professional (such as a doctor, nurse, or counselor) if you suspect abuse.
- Seek help if you or someone you know is a victim of domestic violence.
- Seek help if you have trouble controlling your anger with a child in your care.

To prepare for your appointment, see the topic Making the Most of Your Appointment.
You can help your doctor diagnose and treat your condition by being prepared to answer the following questions:

OK, yes, companies pay a little something to be Sponsored Deals. But we don't allow just any old crap in this section. Sponsored Deals are proposed to us by other retailers, manufacturers, and even other daily deal sites. If we find the deal compelling enough that our members will appreciate us bringing it to their attention, we'll feature it here. Believe it or not, we have a reputation to uphold. If your store would like to be considered for this space, please contact us for details. But if your deal is lame, or sketchy, no amount of money will let you buy your way in.
Community Deals
It's whatever you want it to be.
Pretty much, anyway. This is where you find the deals that wooters like you have ferreted out and brought to light. We're thinking it'll turn into a massive database of discounted products from around the Web, constantly expanding to absorb the newest deals from the very moment their prices are slashed, with each deal immediately rated by hordes of savvy voters to spotlight the very greatest deals in the world today. Hey, we can dream, right?
We use a fancy algorithm to determine which deals are catching the most buzz – they're under the Popular tab, which is the default view of this section. You can look for the most popular deals today, this week, or this month.

My latest article for Manchester Confidential:
Thea Euryphaessa indulges in a Yin yoga session at the new YogaPilates studio, Chorlton (Mcr, UK)
I didn't take up yoga until three years ago when a knee injury sustained during a marathon brought me to a grinding halt. Stubborn bugger that I am, I limped the remaining thirteen miles to the finish line like Hopalong Cassidy. Paid for it afterwards, though.
Any runner who's ever had the displeasure of feeling their IT (illiotibial) band inflict untold excruciating torment upon their knee during every single step will have felt Eddie Izzard's pain when he regularly had his IT band 'stripped' during his epic Sport Relief marathoning endeavour. How he continued, I'll never know. My injury, however, drove me first into the arms of a myofascial release therapist and, soon after, into my first Pilates class.
Pilates must be one of the most subtle, stealth-like ways of achieving tone and strength I've ever encountered. After just one class, I stepped out onto the street, shoulders back, feeling several inches taller. Since taking it up, several strangers (I kid you not) have approached me to comment on my apparently excellent posture. It's also a phenomenal way of increasing core strength for endurance events such as the marathon, helping drastically reduce fatigue across the back and shoulders, post-race. But it was my instructor who, on learning about my IT band issues, recommended I try Yin yoga as it works deep into the myofascia.
Myofascia (also known as the connective tissue) holds the muscles in place, much like how the pith of an orange holds the segments in place beneath the outer flesh. Until this point, I'd been reticent to try yoga. I had enough on my plate recovering from an injury and training for another marathon without contorting myself at speed in a heated room à la Bikram yoga. Running's hard enough as it is. But much to my surprise, like Pilates, Yin yoga was another revelation.
I like to call Yin yoga, yoga for lazy so-and-so's, although I'm not sure my instructor would necessarily agree or be best pleased with that description. In my opinion, Yin yoga is perhaps the most deliciously indolent style of yoga available but, paradoxically, one of the most challenging too. How so?
Well, in Taoist philosophy 'yang' is the hot, hard, fast, dynamic principle; whereas 'yin' is its complementary counterpart, typically characterised by cool, yielding, slow, soft qualities. So, in Yin yoga, rather than quickly moving from position to position in a state verging on the manic (which is how Ashtanga yoga felt to me), each position is held for several minutes – several very long, very challenging minutes. Several of the poses were developed and practised by sages to help them strengthen the body so they could sit for long periods of time in meditation. In fact, it's said that Yin yoga involves some of the most ancient asanas around.
If you're the type who spends every day rushing, flapping, always 'doing,' Yin yoga is the perfect antidote as it simply allows you to 'be.' For some, however, therein lies the problem: this simply 'being' malarkey can cause a fair few folk to get twitchy. With little else to distract and the gradual lengthening and deep stretching Yin yoga involves, there are those who find it difficult to fully surrender to each pose and hold it for the allocated time. But for lazy buggers such as me, it's the perfect way to completely switch off, unwind and allow my body to do its own thing, in its own time.
I struck gold with my Yin yoga instructor, Mathew Godebski. Grounded and straight-talking, there's nothing unnecessarily esoteric about the way he teaches, which is just how I like it. He also prescribed a specific set of poses for me to complement my running practice and help alleviate my IT band injury which, I'm pleased to report, has now fully healed.
If you're interested in trying Yin yoga, Mathew's new YogaPilates studio can be found at Unit 14, Albany Road Trading Estate, Albany Road, Chorlton, M21 0AZ. Yin yoga classes take place every Wednesday evening between 7.30pm – 9.00pm. For further details, visit his website at yogapilates.co.uk

Doug McDermott has experienced his share of firsts in his freshman and sophomore seasons at Creighton.
Monday, the junior forward added another to his r�sum� as he became the first Missouri Valley player to earn a spot on the Associated Press preseason All-America team.
McDermott's selection hardly was unexpected as he is the lone returning consensus first-team All-American from a season ago. He was named on 62 of the 66 ballots cast by writers and broadcasters who participate in the AP's basketball poll.
McDermott also learned Monday that he had been selected the Valley's preseason player of the year, while he and his teammates were selected as the team to beat the league's preseason poll.
"There obviously are a lot of expectations in our community about this team,'' coach Greg McDermott said. "We have to deal with those expectations and make sure they don't impact our preparations for the coming season. To this point, I don't feel they have.''
No Bluejay shoulders more of those expectations than McDermott's son. Doug McDermott is coming off a sophomore season in which he averaged 22.9 points and 8.2 rebounds. Only two other Valley players — Hall of Famers Oscar Robertson and Larry Bird — scored more points than the 801 that McDermott amassed last season.
His sophomore season encored a debut campaign in which he became only the second freshman in Valley history to earn first-team all-league honors. Doug McDermott said his accomplishments in his first two seasons are a bit overwhelming since he was considered a redshirt candidate when Creighton began preseason practice two years ago.
"I came out of high school under the radar, and things have worked out well for me,'' he said. "I've made the most of all the opportunities I've been given, and now year three is here. We're all working hard to put together another good season.
"I know I can have a huge impact on this team but I also know I have a lot of great players around me.''
Only one player received more votes for the AP All-America team than did McDermott. Indiana's Cody Zeller was named on 65 of the 66 ballots and was named the preseason player of the year.
Three of the six players named to the team — McDermott, Murray State's Isaiah Canaan and Lehigh's C.J. McCollum — play for teams from outside the six power conferences. Greg McDermott said that shouldn't be considered unusual, given the changing landscape of college basketball.
"I think you've seen more parity in college basketball in the last decade than at any time in our history,'' he said. "Look at the number of mid-majors that have made the Final Four in the last 10 years compared to maybe the 25 years before that. I think it's a little more of a level playing field.
"AAU and high school basketball continue to be more popular in this country, and there are more and more players while there are only 13 scholarships at each one of those BCS schools. I think you're going to continue seeing guys pop up at different places around the country that are exceptional players.''
He said his son fits into that category, as well as Canaan and McCollum. Technology has assisted in providing those players with a stage on which to showcase their talents, the Creighton coach said.
"Fifteen years ago, a mid-major school might be on television only three or four times,'' he said. "Games weren't being streamed live onto the internet. Now, a person can watch every Murray State game or every Creighton game. If they want to find it, they can probably find it.
"And you can do it at your leisure. The ability for people to get their eyes on these exceptional guys at mid-major schools is a change for the better. The more people can get their eyes on these players, they can tell there are special players regardless of where they're playing.''
Doug McDermott is the reigning Valley player of the year. If things work out right, he knows he has a chance not only to contend for that honor at the end of the season but also for national player of the year awards.
"I think that is definitely doable but it's not my main concern,'' he said. "My main concern is winning games but it's been shown in the past that guys like Jimmer Fredette and Adam Morrison can play at mid-major schools and still be considered for those awards.
"My main goal is to try to put Creighton on the map and represent the Missouri Valley. This is a great mid-major conference and I think it's going to have a great year this year.''
Creighton received 38 of the 40 votes in the Valley poll. The league's coaches, sports information directors, radio play-by-play announcers and newspaper beat writers participated in the voting.
Doug McDermott was joined on the preseason All-Valley team by Indiana State's Jake Odum, Illinois State's Jackie Carmichael, Evansville's Colt Ryan and Drake's Ben Simons. Creighton center Gregory Echenique earned honorable mention.
Like most coaches, Greg McDermott downplayed the significance of being picked as the team to beat in the Valley.
"I understand you have to do it and it generates some interest and gives people something to talk about,'' he said.
"We have high expectations here, and we like that and we enjoy that. We hope that it becomes the norm but it is what it is. We can't allow anything, whether it's a national ranking or a conference poll, to impact our preparation. We have to stay focused on the task at hand.''

Donkey Tees, an online funny t-shirt and apparel company released two new killer Game of Thrones inspired designs today. Donkey Tees has been making funny t-shirts since their debut in 2005. The company is widely known for producing offensive shirts centered around pop culture events, and what's a bigger pop culture event than the premiere of the new season of Game of Thrones?
The two new designs incorporate Game of Thrones story elements and twist them into humor.
The first design is "Crows Before Hoes" a play on the popular phrase "bros before hoes." This shirt references The Crows, a nickname for members of the nights watch who have sworn to defend and watch over "The Wall" which is a monsterous wall of rock that stretches along the northern border of the seven kingdoms. And also to not have sex with girls. Which makes it extra funny.
The second design released titled "The North Wall" is a parody of the popular winter apparel company The North Face. The design recreates the popular use of mountains that the North Face often uses in their artwork but models the mountain off of the "The Wall" found in Game of Thrones.
Both designs are available starting today at DonkeyTees.com


text: USDA's Announcement to Close Offices Concerns NCBA NCBA is worried about how closures will impact cattle industry. Published on: Jan 17, 2012 Tweet Post to Your Wall. Email Story RSS Permalink Print Last week during his speech to the delegates of the American Farm Bureau Federation's annual meeting in Honolulu, Hawaii, Ag Secretary Tom Vilsack dropped an unexpected bomb with the announcement of the closing of some key USDA offices and laboratories. Colin Woodall with the National Cattlemen's Beef Association has some details that they're not happy about. "They are closing a research facility in Florida that does all the research on subtropical diseases, which is huge for our producers in the Southern United States," Woodall said. "They claim that they can do that same exact research in either Miles City, Mont., or Clay Center, Neb., and granted those are two great facilities but we have a hard time figuring out how they are going to replicate South Florida, South Texas, Southeastern type of production systems up there in Nebraska and Montana, so we have some big concerns there." Woodall also says they are very concerned that some of the closures were Food Safety Inspection Services offices and Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service offices. "That is also a concern to us because we cannot find ourselves in a situation where we do not have the inspectors or the services to ensure that our packing plants are adequately inspected and we keep the food safe, and to make sure we have the inspectors in place to keep our domestic herd safe from disease, two important functions of both FSIS and APHIS." Woodall says NCBA has been having some conversations concerning the closings with USDA. "They keep telling us that all of the stations that have been closed and personal that will be leaving were not a part of those day-to-day operations but we're going to do a little more digging to see that for ourselves.

Landscape and Biodiversity
Landscape Management Plan
The University of Newcastle's (UoN) Callaghan Campus (the Campus) is known and promoted as "the bushland campus" because of its natural bushland setting in which the educational facilities are located. In addition to the bushland, the Campus contains a mixture of landscaped gardens, wetlands, ovals, dams and creek and drainage lines.
The Campus, with a size of 140 ha of which 25 ha are bushland, accommodates currently about 23,900 students and 2,500 staff. Student numbers are expected to grow to about 30,000 by 2021. This growth is expected to fuel the need for infrastructure development and increased resource utilisation which can exert pressures on the bushland through fragmentation and habitat loss. In addition, the need to protect personal safety of students and staff and to minimise the risk of bushfires creates further management challenges.
In light of these various pressures there is the need to preserve the bushland character and landscape of the Campus while achieving a balanced approach to campus functionality, security and development. In response, a Landscape Management Plan (LMP) has been developed to satisfy the following objectives:
* Identify the vision and principles that will guide landscape management
* Outline the roles for landscape management and the skills and qualifications required
* Identify management zones within the campus based on landscape features and values
* Identify approaches for the management of these zones
Landscape Management Zones
For the purposes of the LMP the campus landscape has been divided into three management zones according to its broad features and management requirements:
* Mixed use management zone: this zone encompasses the paths, roads, carparks, building precincts, bushfire asset protection zones, constructed gardens and swales within the Arts, Eastern, Engineering, Hunter, Shortland and South precincts
* Sports management zone: this zone encompasses ovals one to five (including the Ray Watt Oval) and the landscaped areas within the Sports precinct
* Bushland management zone: this zone relates to the bushland areas within the Campus
Management of mixed use zone
Vegetation management in the mixed use zone has currently a strong focus on providing lines of sight to address safety of staff, students and visitors to the campus. This has resulted in understorey plants in some garden beds, swales and vegetated edges being replaced by mulch or grass and a limited selection of plant species being used. There is a need to replace vegetation in some garden beds with more suitable species and progressively plant garden beds that are currently unvegetated. The replanting strategy for the mixed use zone aims to:
* give a fresh and clear identity to the precincts within the Campus
* reduce safety and bushfire risks
* reduce maintenance costs
* improve amenity
* support existing native vegetation communities
* maintain the 'bushland campus' identity
Management of Sports Zone
Newcastle University Sport (NUsport) is charged with the development of sport and fitness through services, facilities and activities. These facilities include The Forum, squash and tennis courts, rowing pavilion and sporting ovals. In relation to ovals management the UoN needs to maintain sufficient sports ovals at high standard and suitable for a range of intended uses. Use of resources should be more environmentally sustainable, particularly water consumption for irrigation. To this end, the LMP provides recommendations for general oval maintenance, subsurface irrigation and the planting of shade trees along the oval perimeters.
Management of Bushland Zone
The Campus bushland habitat supports a significant amount of native flora and fauna species including four threatened fauna species. Vegetation communities consist of Spotted Gum-Ironbark Forest (dry forest variant and wet forest variant), Riparian Closed Forest and Freshwater Wetlands. In addition to its ecological value, the bushland areas contribute significantly to the amenity and character of the Campus. However, these areas are also subject to weed invasion, clearing, littering, erosion and other degrading factors. The LMP provides guidance on how to maintain the ecological integrity and amenity of bushland areas within the Campus, using best practice bush regeneration techniques.
The LMP identifies ten bushland management zones with varying management requirements. Action Plans developed for each zone outline resource requirements, management time frames, cost estimates and bush regeneration strategies. The management of bushland relies strongly on the employment of a skilled bush regeneration team.
Biodiversity Off-set Management
The LMP contains an off-setting strategy that provides a systematic and consistent method for mitigating and offsetting the biodiversity related impacts of the UoN's operations.
Biodiversity offsetting refers to actions taken outside a development area to compensate for the direct and indirect effects of that development on native vegetation and biodiversity. Off-setting is a practical tool for decision makers allowing them to balance the relative environmental, social and economic merits of development proposals under the Environmental Planning & Assessment Act 1979. If used strategically, off-setting can lead to the maintenance of environmental viability, an overall net improvement in environmental viability across a region, a net gain in vegetation cover and / or an additional level of security for vegetation that is currently not protected.
A number of significant new developments at the Campus are currently in various stages of progress that will impact on native vegetation. Projected future growth may perpetuate this situation. An off-set strategy was therefore needed to assist the UoN to:
* negotiate requirements with planning authorities to offset potential vegetation losses associated with development at the Campus
* understand how the offset area should be established and managed
LMP Recommendations
Landscape Management Zone
Ovals Management Zone
Bushland Management Zone
Precinct planting to give precincts identity and fresh look
Extend sub-surface irrigation to all ovals
Engage bush regeneration team to undertake bush regeneration in 10 bushland zones
Increase plant diversity particularly among ground covers
Planting of shade trees along perimeter of ovals
Bush regenerators to implement the long-term (10 years) action plans developed for each zone
Progressively replant bare, mulched, grassed garden areas and swales using predominantly ground covers
Harvesting stormwater for irrigation
Exclude mowing from areas with native canopy adjacent to bushland and outside APZ
Landscape Consultative Group
The Callaghan Campus Landscape Consultative Group (CCLCG) was established in late 2009 to:
* To provide a forum for productive communication and consultation between Facilities Management and the University community regarding the management of bushland and landscape areas
* To promote a positive image of the University regarding the management of its bushland and landscape areas
* To promulgate an understanding by the University community of the bushland and landscape management principles and strategies applied
The CCLCG meets twice per annum and has representatives from Facilities Management, staff, students and external key stakeholders.
The 140-hectare Callaghan campus of the University of Newcastle has undergone considerable change to its general amenity, land use and vegetation characteristics since its establishment in 1965. Just prior to the University, the land was predominantly cleared due to mining and agricultural activities, with part of the site formerly being a Council rubbish tip.
For the first 25 years of the University campus the landscape was managed predominately under a turf maintenance and rural style of management regime. From the 1990s there was a shift to a focus on enhancing the bushland setting across the campus through a period of active revegetation.
Over time the density and coverage of native vegetation has increased markedly across the campus. While the revegetation activities have delivered a bushland campus identity for the University, it also brings with it a range of other campus management consequences and considerations which must be planned for in a strategic manner.

The petition*
There is no doubt that the exclusive use of the name "Macedonia," primarily adopted by the FYROM Slavs and their promotion as "ethnic Macedonians" is a stimulus for expansionist claims by FYROM and its Diaspora. Claims to "their rights to self-identification" are unjustified and violate our rights. We therefore strongly object that a Slavic nation, north of Greece, can use the name "Macedonian" to identify its citizens, a term that forms part of Greece's history and culture for thousands of years. Recognition of a "Macedonian" ethnicity, clearly and without a doubt, would claim anything Macedonian, including history, culture and even land, destabilizing among others the entire region.
*The petition will be sent to the Greek Ministry of Foreign Affairs as well as the Greek Prime Minister.
Νote: Please avoid double-signing the petition.
** Your signature will be displayed at the end of the list
