"We found this card perfect for the announcement of my granddaughter Averey. It allows for photos on the back as well. It is super adorable and current for today. Love!"
"We chose this design because of how photo-centric it is. You can also have photographs printed on the inside which is great! We kept the colours and fonts as they were, and only changed the lower case letters to capitals where we wanted them, and made the date fit the European standard rather than the US. The images came out great on the semi-glossy paper, and we as well as people who have received the cards have been very positive about how it looks! We will definitely purchase from Tinyprints again, and recommend it highly to anyone."
"Easy to modify, select pictures and choose fonts. We received lots of compliments from friends & family. In fact, the finished product was so gorgeous that my husband framed a copy for his desk at work! We are very satisfied and will definitely recommend Tiny Prints to our friends."
"This card is perfect! Really shows off our baby in the large photo on the front. Only wish the photo on the back was slightly larger. Everyone loved it and so did I!"
"This is the first time I have used Tiny Prints but I will definitely use them again for personalized stationary. I ordered the Lovely Toile: Chenille card in pink for my daughter's birth announcement. The process of designing the card was incredibly easy to complete, as was the ordering process. The card, envelopes and address labels arrived before the scheduled delivery date. The card itself was exactly like the photo on the website and extremely good quality. Everyone I have sent the card to has loved it and it makes a beautiful keepsake."

There will never be anyone quite like Michael Jordan.
Whether it was the six championships, 10 scoring titles or two Olympic gold medals, the Chicago Bulls legend accomplished just about everything one could in his basketball career.
In honour of Jordans's 50th birthday on Sunday, sportsnet.ca takes a look back at 50 memorable moments from his illustrious career:
1) Didn't Make The Cut: Michael Jordan wasn't always the star he became in the NBA. As a 15-year-old in 1978, Jordan did not make the final roster for the varsity team at Laney High in Wilmington, N.C.,. Jordan used this rare moment of failure to form his legendary competitive drive that arguably shaped his Hall of Fame career.
2) 1982 National Championship Game: Even as a freshman at North Carolina, Jordan showed the clutch ability that made him one of the all-time greats. In one of the most prominent moments in NCAA tournament history, Jordan drilled a jumper with 17 seconds to go to lift North Carolina to a one-point victory over Patrick Ewing's Georgetown squad.
3) Wooden Award Winner: Jordan did not win another championship with North Carolina after his freshman year but still earned his fair share of prestigious individual honours, including being a two-time All-American and winning the Wooden Award as National Player of the Year during his junior season.
4) Portland Passes: The Portland Trailblazers made arguably the largest mistake in NBA Draft history with the second pick in 1984. Portland reportedly had no plans to select Jordan after Hakeem Olajuwon went to Houston and chose infamous draft bust Sam Bowie at No 2. It left Jordan for the Chicago Bulls at No. 3 and Portland fans have never been able to get the gaffe.
5) First Gold: Everyone remembers the Dream Team from Barcelona, but Jordan's first gold medal came when he suited up for the U.S. team at the 1984 Olympics in Los Angeles on a team that included Ewing, Chris Mullin, Sam Perkins and Wayman Tisdale.
6) First game at MSG: Jordan had many memorable moments in his career in Madison Square Garden. But it's hard to forget his first pro game in the New York as a 21-year-old when he put on a dominant display with 33 points on 15-of-22 shooting in a 17-point victory.
7) Starting Strong: Jordan averaged over 28 points per game as a rookie and helped lead the Bulls to a playoff appearance for the first time since 1981, making him the clear choice for the Rookie of the Year award.
8) Jordan is God?: Jordan suffered a broken foot early in the 1985-86 season and many believed he would sit out the rest of the year. But Jordan was still able to lead the Bulls to the playoffs where he scored a record 63 points in a thrilling 135-131 double overtime loss to Larry Bird's Boston Celtics.
9) Mars Blackmon: Spike Lee teamed up with Jordan when he used the movie character from Do The Right Thing (Mars Blackmon) as part of the Air Jordan advertisements. In the 1988 ad, Blackmon wondered aloud about Jordan's greatness and said the famous line, "It's gotta be the shoes".
10) Lockdown Defender: Jordan was truly a magical player on offence but his toughness and mean streak came out on the defensive end. Jordan was recognized as the league's Defensive Player of the Year in 1988 and was the first to win the award along with the MVP in the same year.
10) MJ Takes On Dominique: Before the slam dunk contest became the watered-down product we see today, Jordan took on Atlanta's Dominqiue Wilkens in an all-time great dunk contest in 1988. After going back and forth with highlight-reel dunks, Jordan clinched the trophy with the famous free-throw line jam.
11) The Shot: The iconic play of Jordan's career didn't come in a year where the Bulls won a championship. It came in Cleveland in 1989 where Jordan reached the height of his superstar status when he eliminated the Cavaliers on a buzzer-beater over Craig Ehlo from 15 feet. Jordan's reaction perfectly captures the essence of the moment.
12) Triple-Double streak: If you think LeBron James' current run of play is impressive, it is nothing in comparison to what MJ did in the 1988-89 season. From March 25 to April 14, Jordan averaged 33.6 points, 10.8 rebounds and 11.4 assists and had triple-doubles in 10 of 11 games during that stretch.
13) Be Like Mike: Gatorade tabbed Jordan as their main pitchman in 1991 when they released the 'Be Like Mike" ad that became iconic around the sports world. Anyone who has seen the commercial still remembers the song.
14) Blind free throw: Jordan liked to trash talk and showboat during games. One of his funniest moments came in a 1991 game against the Denver Nuggets when Jordan was having some fun with Dikembe Mutombo, prompting the Bulls star to shoot a free throw with his eyes closed.
15) Wearing No. 12?: In one of the strangest event of his career, Jordan's No. 23 jersey went missing before a game against the Orlando Magic. The Bulls made due for the night and let him wear the spare No. 12 jersey. It didn't affect his performance as he still was able to score 49 points.
16) Posterizing Ewing: Jordan's baseline dunk might have haunted Patrick Ewing's dreams when he made the New York Centre look silly during the first round of the 1991 NBA Playoffs.
17) Getting over the hump: Early in Jordan's career, he was considered a player that couldn't win the big one when Chuck Daly and the Detroit Pistons used the physical "Jordan Rules" defence to eliminate the Bulls in three straight years (1988-90). Chicago was finally able to sweep their No. 1 rivals in 1990-91, starting a run that defined Jordan's legacy.
18) The Move: The signature play from the 1991 NBA finals came on a play that was a clear display of Jordan's unbelievable athleticism. While going up for a layup in traffic, Jordan defied gravity when he was able to switch the ball to his left hand in mid-air to score on the Los Angeles Lakers.
19) The first championship: Although Jordan won six championships, his first was the most memorable . Jordan's first title came over legend Magic Johnson and the Los Angeles Lakers, the team that owned the previous decade.
20) Snubbing the White House: Jordan skipped the team's visit to the White House to spend time with his family after the Bulls win in 1991. Jordan said he was not disrespecting the President or the Bulls but some of his teammates (Horace Grant) were not pleased with his decision.
21) ProStars: In 1991, Jordan was featured in an action cartoon on NBC called ProStars. In the show, Jordan, Wayne Gretzky and Bo Jackson were cartoon characters that fought crime and protected the environment. To the surprise of no one, the show only lasted one season.
22) The shrug: Jordan couldn't be stopped in Game 1 of the 1992 NBA Finals against the Portland Trailblazers. He scored 35 points at the half, including 6-for-6 from beyond the three-point line, a feat that even surprised Jordan when he made the ironic shrug motion towards the broadcast booth after sinking the sixth shot from behind the arc.
23) Dream Team: The most-talented squad Jordan played on was not the '96 Bulls as he played a prominent role on the legendary 1992 U.S. Olympic team that won gold in Barcelona. Jordan played with Hall of Famers like Magic Johnson, Larry Bird while reportedly hosting all-night card games and barely getting any sleep during the run to the gold medal.
24) The Showdown: In a popular McDonald's commercial, Jordan challenged Larry Bird to a shooting contest for a Big Mac that was originally shown during Super Bowl XXVII. Notice Jordan's peculiar choice of clothing, a staple that made Jordan a more marketable figure.
25) Blocking Shaq: Jordan refused to be intimidated by anyone, not even young phenom Shaquille O'Neal. In their first matchup when Shaq was a member of the Orlando Magic, Jordan displayed his will and athleticism when he was able to block the 7-foot-1 centre when he was driving to the basket.
26) Burning the Cavs…again: Cleveland fans thought they were demoralized when Jordan in 1989 but he haunted the again in the 1993 Eastern Conference playoffs when the Bulls guard spun and hit a fade-away jumper from the free-throw line at the buzzer to complete a four-game sweep of the Cavs.
27) Three-peat: Jordan went head-to-head with his Dream Team teammate Charles Barkley in the 1993 NBA Finals against the Phoenix Suns. The Bulls clinched the series when guard John Paxson hit a late three-pointer that helped Jordan win his third consecutive title.
28) Best on the biggest stage: Before Jordan accomplished the feat, Magic Johnson was the only other player to win the MVP of the NBA Finals in three straight seasons. Jordan lived up to his superstar status during his first three-peat and he was at his best the 1993 series against Phoenix where he averaged a record 41.0 points in the championship series.
29) The retirement: On Oct. 6, 1993, Jordan announced his retirement from the NBA in a press conference that shocked the sports world. Jordan's news was hard to comprehend as he was atop of his game in the prime of his career.
30) Hitting the diamond: Jordan decided he would take up professional baseball during his retirement from basketball. He didn't find quite the same success in his tenure with the Chicago White Sox's minor-league affiliate, where he hit .202 with three home runs, 51 RBIs, and 30 stolen bases in 127 games.
31) Retiring 23: When Jordan left the Bulls to play professional baseball, the team honoured him with a emotional ceremony in 1994 when they retired his number and lifted the banner up to the rafters of the United Center. They probably had no idea Jordan would later return in 1995.
32) Return to the Bulls: After his time in basbeall, Jordan announced his long-awaited return through a two-word press release that said: I'm Back. He re-joined the Bulls in March of 1995, rocking a No. 45 jersey (his baseball number) when he scored 19 points in a loss to Indiana Pacers in what was one of the highest-rated regular season games in the history of the NBA.
33) Jordan's back: Five games into his comeback, Jordan didn't take a long time to shake off his rust from baseball and showed he can still put on a show at Madison Square Garden. He exploded with a signature performance with 55 points against his primary rivals, the Knicks in front of a hostile crowd.
34) Bulls win 72: There has never been a perfect season in the NBA but the 1995-96 Bulls were as dominant of a group that the league has ever seen. The eventual-champion Bulls finished with a 72-10 record, which somehow included a loss to the expansion Toronto Raptors.
35) Space Jam: Jordan appeared in numerous commercials throughout his career but no one can forget his Hollywood debut in the movie Space Jam. Jordan teamed up with Bugs Bunny and the cast of Looney Tunes in a movie that every sports fan has admittedly seen.
36) Legendary trash talker: Jordan had his fair share of run-ins during his career but one of the best came against Dikembe Mutumbo in the 1997 playoffs when Jordan dunked over the big centre and immediately responded with his famous finger wag motion.
37) Overcoming the flu: In one of the defining moments of Jordan's career, he played with a reported 103-degree fever in in the 1997 NBA Finals when he lit up the Utah Jazz with a 38-point performance in a 90-88 victory.
38) The Pass: Everyone remembers the Flu Game from the 1997 series with the Utah Jazz but Jordan's most critical play of the series win over Utah came on a pass he made in Game 6. Coming out of a timeout, Jordan drew two Jazz defenders and found an open Steve Kerr, who hit the clinching shot with under five seconds to go.
39) Father's Day: Almost three years after Jordan's father died, he helped seal the Bulls' fourth championship in a victory over the Seattle Supersonics on Father's Day. Jordan was embraced by his teammates when he fell to the floor and was incredibly emotional after the victory.
40) The Final Shot: Some Utah Jazz fans still believe it was a push off but Jordan could not have ended his time with the Chicago Bulls in more dramatic fashion. He hit the series-clinching shot in 1997-98 with 5.2 seconds left over Jazz forward Bryon Russell to seal his sixth and final championship with the Bulls.
41) Joining the Wiz: Jordan wasn't quite done with his playing career when he ended his second retirement by joining the Washington Wizards in 2001. He wasn't close to the dominant player he used to be but still averaged 20 points per game and managed to play all 82 games (2002-03) at the age of 39. The Wizards ever made the playoffs in either of his two seasons.
42) Return to the United Center: One of Jordan's toughest moments, well at least according to him, was his first game back in Chicago as a member of the Washington Wizards in January, 2002. Jordan got a massive ovation from the crowd in a game where he scored 16 points and nine turnovers in a Wizards victory.
43) Crossing up VC: Early in Vince Carter's career in Toronto, some referred him as the next Jordan. He must not have taking kindly to the comparison when Jordan, as a member of the Wizards, made Carter look flat-out silly with a a nasty crossover move that made the Raptors forward fall on his face.
44) Reaching new heights: In 2002, Jordan became the fourth player in NBA history to reach the 30,000-point plateau. Kobe Bryant accomplished the feat in 2012 (becoming the fifth) along with Jordan, Karl Malone, Wilt Chamberlain, and Kareem-Abdul Jabbar to do so.
45) 40 at 40: Even an older player, Jordan could still score in bunches. With the Wizards in 2003, Jordan set a record being the only 40-year-old to score over 40 points in a game. He put up 43 points in 43 minutes and even managed to grab four steals and 10 rebounds against a really good New Jersey Nets team.
46) Final all-star game: Amazingly, Jordan was not voted as a starter for the 2003 All-Star game. Vince Carter, originally refused to give up his starting spot but he eventually stepped back for Jordan, who conveniently happened to hit a go-ahead jump shot in the final minute of overtime. Kobe Bryant later tied the game and the West prevailed in the contest.
47) Landing the cover: One of the biggest accomplishments in in North American sports is being graced on the cover of Sports Illustrated. In Jordan's illustrious career, he has astoundingly been on the cover of the magazine a total of 50 times. You can see all the covers here
PM crowd: Michael Jordan has been on the cover of Sports Illustrated a record 50 times. Here's all of them: bit.ly/XUQfAF

48) Bobcats owner: The Charlotte Bobcats fan base thought they hit a home run when Jordan became the majority owner in 2010 but there has yet to be many positive results for the team. Jordan became the second-ever black majority owner of a sports franchise.
49) Hall of Fame speech: Jordan showed a truly bizarre side of himself when he called out almost anyone that has ever doubted him during his Hall of Fame induction speech in 2009. Jordan's petty side was clear when he managed to take shots at several including former GM Jerry Krause in the speech.
50) Still raking it in: While Jordan hasn't had the most success in his career owning the Charlotte Bobcats, Jordan is still having major success with his multiple corporate sponsors (Gatorade, Air Jordan, etc.). Forbes reported earlier this week than Jordan made an astounding $80 million last year from ads.

Any idea how to get all the salt out of it?

Press Releases
Ellen Seidman to Serve as 2013-2014 NYU Stern-Citi Leadership & Ethics Distinguished Fellow
August 22, 2013
We partner with the Citi Foundation to ... expose Stern students, faculty and alumni to leaders who foster growth and innovation at the intersection of business and society. - Professor Bruce Buchanan
Program Celebrates 11th Year Appointing Former Director of the US Treasury's Office of Thrift SupervisionMarking its 11th year, NYU Stern's Citi Leadership & Ethics Program, sponsored by the Citi Foundation, has appointed Ellen Seidman, former director of the US Treasury Department's Office of Thrift Supervision, as its 2013-2014 Citi Leadership & Ethics Distinguished Fellow. Seidman is a senior fellow at the Urban Institute, focusing on housing finance and community development. She served as visiting scholar to the Community Development Department of the Federal Reserve Bank of San Francisco in 2012 and 2013, and has been a research fellow of the Filene Research Institute since 2011. In 2012, she was appointed to the Consumer Advisory Board of the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau.
The Citi Distinguished Fellows program identifies business leaders whose proven track records exemplify how business and government can address some of the world's most intractable problems, including poverty, homelessness and environmental concerns, and stimulate sustainable economic growth.
From 1997 through 2001, Seidman was the director of the Office of Thrift Supervision, the federal regulator of the savings and loan industry, and concurrently served on the board of directors of the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation and as chair of the board for the Neighborhood Reinvestment Corporation. From 2002 through 2010, Seidman held various positions at ShoreBank Corporation and its affiliates. While at ShoreBank, she helped start the nonprofit Center for Financial Services Innovation (CFSI), whose board she chaired until June of this year. From 2007 to 2010, she was a scholar in the Asset Building Program at the New America Foundation, a DC-based think tank, where she provided national leadership on public policy issues related to expanding access to financial services. A major focus of Seidman's work is developing a forward-looking policy framework which encourages greater responsibility and accountability in the delivery of financial services to low - moderate and middle-income families.
Seidman also served as senior counsel to the democratic staff, House Financial Services Committee (2001-02), special assistant to the president for economic policy (1993-1997), and has held senior positions at Fannie Mae, the Department of the Treasury and the Department of Transportation. In addition to CFSI, she serves on the boards of directors of the CDFI Assessment and Ratings System, City First Bank of DC, Coastal Enterprises Inc. and the Low Income Investment Fund.
Seidman will make her first on-campus appearance on October 8, meeting with both NYU Stern students and faculty. On March 7, she will return to keynote the Citi Program's annual conference for students and alumni.
"We partner with the Citi Foundation to present the Leadership & Ethics Program, and to expose Stern students, faculty and alumni to leaders who foster growth and innovation at the intersection of business and society", said Bruce Buchanan, C.W. Nichols Professor of Business Ethics and director of Stern's Business & Society Program Area, which houses the Citi Distinguished Fellows program. "Ellen Seidman is one such leader. Her commitment and passion to serving people and businesses that have poor access to mainstream financial services make her a perfect fit as this year's fellow, and her insights on how to provide credit and financial services to underserved markets and populations will be invaluable to our community."
"We're delighted that Ellen Seidman will serve as this year's Citi Leadership & Ethics Distinguished Fellow, allowing the NYU Stern community to benefit from her renowned expertise in financial inclusion innovation," said Pamela Flaherty, president & CEO of the Citi Foundation and director of corporate citizenship at Citi. "By leveraging her leadership and work across the country in financial inclusion and community development, Ellen will contribute to a rich dialogue and a rewarding experience for NYU Stern students."
About the Citi Leadership and Ethics Program
Established in 2003, NYU Stern's Citi Leadership and Ethics Program, made possible through the generous support of the Citi Foundation and managed by Stern's Business & Society Program Area, represents a comprehensive effort on behalf of the School to extend its longstanding commitment to the practice of professionally responsible business. Ellen Seidman is serving as the program's eleventh distinguished fellow. She follows ten previous fellows: Arthur Levitt, John Biggs, Harvey Goldschmidt, Charles D. Ellis, Alice Tepper Marlin, Fred Krupp, Mary Ellen Iskenderian, Dorian Dale, Jeffrey Hollender and Mindy Lubber.

Worked Well!
By JDT
from Port St. John, FL
We used this product to enhance students' appearance while wearing hot pink t-shirts at an awards ceremony. It contirubuted to the fun atmosphere of what we were doing! The spray went far, perhaps 4 heads per can (on small children).

Big Hit At Our School Carnival!
By Mandi the PTA Mom
from Austin, TX
About Me Parent
I purchased 30 assorted colors of this hair spray for our school carnival. The line was never ending; it was a huge hit with the kids! Very easy to use, but some of the colors didn't show up all that well on darker hair, which I guess is to be expected. The purple we ordered looked very pink, but you could see the difference a little if they were side by side. The only downside overall was that I didn't order enough. 30 cans lasted us 3 1/2 hours with two people spraying non-stop (some were just streaks in the hair, and some were the whole head being covered). You won't be disappointed with this spray for school events!
Girls love this color.
By Momma
from Chicago, IL
We used color hair spray for the school event. The kids loved to get their hair colored and they had all the colors the kids wanted. I didn't like the fume, so I opened up all the windows with some fans running.
Awesome product

We used this product for our float in our hometown parade. Everyone loved seeing the girls and the different colors of hair that they had... we also purchased the colors of green, purple, yellow & orange. We got sooo many compliments even after the parade was over!! Thanks for helping us get the 2nd place ribbon for our float!!!!

Yes! I JUST found out I'm due April 11 Crazy though, because I'm still nursing DD full time, and she's not quite 9 mos yet. Yes, I wrote NINE months! I have no idea how the pregnancy will effect my milk supply. Anyone else have some experience with this?
I worked full-time during both of those pregnancies and pumped OFTEN. Due to supply and constant demand, I started supplementing shortly after getting pregnant and had fully weaned children 3 months and 5 months post LMP. Maybe nursing the baby directly will help you mamas with young infants, but for me, I had to give it up because I was only bringing home 3 ounces after being away from home for 11 hours a day.
I truly wish you the best of luck. You notice that I made it a little further the second time. I think I was a little less stressed that time.

Hi! My second son is due June 8- or any minute now! I know this a little late in the game to be seeking advice, but we are a little stuck!
We have a 2-year-old named Arthur Juno. Juno is a Korean name and it is what we call him when we go to Korea to visit family. Here we call him Arthur. I am not big on nicknames and will use the full name until my son tells me otherwise!
Anyway, for our second son we would like another classic name- something that fits the genre of Arthur. Some names we have thrown around are:
August - We like it, but are not too sure about having 2 "A" names.
Louis - (Lewis, not Looey) Not sure if this one fits with Arthur. Also may become very popular now that Sandra Bullock has a Louis.
Stuart - I like the idea of Stuart, but it sounds a little too harsh or percussive. I like how gentle and flowing Arthur is. Is it too harsh?
Walter - My husband's current favorite. I like it, too, but while Arthur seems kind of cool, Walter still seems kind of "fuddy duddy" to me. Is it?
Oliver - My only concern is its popularity. My name isn't very popular with my age group (I always was the only one not only in my class, but in my school) and I loved it.
Henry - Again a popularity concern. My husband doesn't think it is a problem, but I don't want my son to have to be referred to as "Henry L.", as opposed to the "Henry S.", "Henry P." and "Henry M." also in his class.
Robin - I don't love it, but my husband seems to.
Edward - I've never read the Twilight books, but apparently there is an Edward character. Will this be a popularity concern? Also, after Arthur, is it too common?
Other names we sort-of like: Jasper, Calvin, Julian.
Names I liked, but were vetoed by my husband: Theodore, Thaddeus, Homer, George, Martin.
Our new son's middle name will be Korean. It will be a two-syllable name. We are still working on it, but some of our middle name ideas start with the letters M, J, P, Y, or H. My favorites start with M.
My son(s) and I have a hyphenated last name with my maiden name being a three syllable Polish surname and my husband's being a one syllable Korean surname. Both surnames begin with the letter L, and since we sometimes drop the Polish part to make it easier for others to record, I will just give you my husband's surname: Lee. I suppose all this means is that we will have to be careful with names starting with L and with one syllable names.
I am open to any and all ideas. We need some fresh minds with fresh ideas helping us out! Thank you, thank you, thank you!
My favorites from your list are Louis, Walter, and Calvin.
I agree with you about Henry and Oliver: those are both currently in style, and have a very different sound than Arthur.
Like you, I'm curious if/how Edward the Twilight vampire hottie will affect the name's popularity. Perhaps it will be a bigger problem ten years from now, when all the girls who are currently teenagers will be having their children? Jasper, too, is a Twilight character. The name Edmund would be a possibility, similar to Edward but with a lower vampire element (searching "Edmund vampire": one of the many search terms I wasn't expecting to use for a baby name blog).
I suggest Warren. I think it has the same gentle/strong sound as Arthur. Arthur and Warren.
I love the book Life With Father, and it always makes me wish the name Clarence would come back into style. Arthur and Clarence. (The author of the book I like is Clarence Day, and am I remembering right that Dae is a Korean name? If you like the book too, it would be a pleasing reference. Though if Dae is pronounced "day," I suppose it gives you "daily" with your surname Lee---not that that's a deal-breaker, especially with a hyphenated surname to break things up.)
After watching a few seasons of Sabrina the Teenage Witch (WHAT?), I had the name Harvey on my list. It still sounds like a great name to me, though I wonder if Harvey Lee would bring Lee Harvey Oswald to mind? Probably not, especially since the surname is hyphenated, but it's the kind of thing I like to take into account during the naming process, as opposed to realizing it afterward. Arthur and Harvey.
I've several times pitched the name Karl/Carl without success, but I will try again! Arthur and Karl, or Arthur and Carl.
I knew such a great guy named Franklin back in school. Arthur and Franklin. (Oh---but as I'm proof-reading, I remember that there is both a children's TV show called Arthur AND a children's TV show called Franklin.)
Beverly Cleary's book Fifteen cemented the name Stanley in my mind as the ideal gentle/strong boy name. *swoon*
Arthur makes me think of the Knights of the Round Table. I'd been remembering that there was a knight named Roland, but apparently I'm thinking of something else. Still, Roland would be an excellent option. Arthur and Roland.
The nicest boy in my elementary school was Terrence, or perhaps it was spelled Terrance (it was the nickname-favoring 1970s, so he mostly went by Terry). I always wanted to be his square-dancing partner in gym class, because he was the only one who never tried to step on his partner's toes. (You know who the worst toe-steppers were? Gary and Troy.)

A ROLEPLAYING SOURCEBOOK FOR JO WALTON'S WORLD FANTASY AWARD-WINNING NOVEL The war between dragons and humans ended in surrender, stalemate, and eventual rebellion. Five thousand years later Tiamath, the dragon homeland, is a modern state adapting to the power of steam, rapid communications, and overpopulation. Will an ancient society based on privilege, power, and occasional cannibalism be able to cope with the upheavals that lie ahead? Can Church, State, and the Aristocracy respond to the challenge, or will the future see an end to everything that Draconic society holds dear?
Suggested by the works of Anthony Trollope and other Victorian authors, Tooth and Claw won the 2004 World Fantasy Award, and describes an unforgettable fantasy setting which has been adapted for this authorised RPG. Contents include

Man I love these! They just have so much character in them, and the style of painting is fantastic. (i'm jealous) Honestly I don't think the previous picture was that messed up. The facial proportions may not be perfect/ideal, but people who look like that do exist. I think it's cool!
I like the most recent one a lot. She don't give no f*ck :P I wish I had something useful to say...but I suck at doing art this style, so I've no suggestions.

I'm too lazy to make my own puff pastry or even "rough puff pastry." The thing is... the only puff pastry I can find at the store is that stupid Pepperidge Farms stuff, which is made with shortening rather than butter (blargh!)I'm odd when it comes to food... I HATE substitutes like shortening.Does anyone know of any other brands of puff pastry that use butter rather than shortening? It tastes and browns better.

Strategic succession is essential in every work group within an organization, not just CEOs. It touches all aspects of the business: family ownership responsibilities, boards, executive teams, management teams, work groups and even new employee on-boarding.
Here are six key areas that make up a complete and successful succession at any level.
The transfer of knowledge, skills and abilities
The first step in succession is to systematically move competency to the next generation of owners, leaders, managers and workers. This is done through targeted education, new work experiences, exposure to positive and negative results, individual coaching and thoughtful mentoring.
Keep in mind that real succession means that we will have to accept occasional — hopefully brief — periods of reduced performance in order to have a greater future gain.
The transfer of income and wealth
A well-planned upfront compensation program lubricates the wheels of succession. Clarity is important not as a carrot on a stick, but as a marker on the succession track.
The question, "What is in it for me?" is a legitimate and honest one. Planning the compensation transfer in advance keeps engagement high and avoids the distraction of ambiguous promises. With respect to ownership, it includes the well-planned generational transfer of wealth.
The transfer of authority, control and accountability
In the case of a newly appointed department manager, the transfer of the departmental budgeting and expense process must be complete. In the case of the newly appointed CEO, the transfer of the strategic planning process including authority, control and accountability must be complete.
The transfer of these three dimensions truly ensures that the ownership for the work is also fully transferred.
The transfer of roles and responsibilities
Oftentimes, roles and responsibilities are cultural. For example, who opens the meeting? Who sets the agenda? Who speaks first or last? These cultural markers are very important tools that stabilize the culture.
You want the company to improve, change, grow and prosper. At the same time, you want a very strong and steady culture that remains healthy and integrated. Roles, especially cultural roles, become traditions and offer people stability despite the changes that succession brings.
The transfer of people, things and money
We are entrusted with the duty to care for three important "others." Author Dennis Peacocke says, "We grow by caring for other people, things and money." I have found that this caring for other people, other people's things and other people's money is what best builds our character and is an important action to transfer to the next generation of owners, leaders, managers and workers.
The transfer of risk management and risk elimination
Succession isn't complete until the risk management and elimination — of both seen and unseen risks — has been transferred to the next generation. Either the successor becomes the risk manager and eliminator, or the succession has not been completed.

Mild nature leaves both attack stats untouched while not sacrificing speed. Use dragon dance to buff speed and attack, then rip them up with stab hurricane +Sky Plate. Life orb could be used, however if they switch to ferrothorn while outraging, the iron barbs and recoil cause large damage to dragonite. Earthquake is good coverage, however Thunder can be used to take out Skarmory or Jellicent if necessary. answered May 14, 2013 by Graphic Mist My friend sent me a Dragonite with Aqual Tail, Flamethrower, Dragon Rush and Waterfall.

Waterfall is a very good water type move with a decent chance of flinch, Dragon Dance is to raise attack and speed, and Safeguard is to set up for an Outrage sweep.

Hi, I would like to buy an iPhone on monday in Atlanta.
My plan is to buy one and open it right into the Apple Store.
I found a code that allows to see the firmware version, it's: *3001#12345#*
However, I don't see a number like 1.1.1 but instead I see a number with alphabetical characters too. My old phone (1.0.2) shows: 03.14.08_G
Is this number the same on 1.1.1 iPhone? Or does it change?

Blocking Anonymous Callers
When you use T-Mobile communications services to receive calls, the telephone number of the calling party is generally delivered to your mobile device, allowing you to identify the number (and the name you may have entered into your contacts) of a caller before answering. However, the FCC has mandated that carriers allow callers the ability to block their Caller ID information and thus place anonymous calls. T-Mobile is obligated to honor the privacy of the caller in these circumstances. Of course, you may choose not to accept such calls. But we cannot block the call or override the privacy choice of the caller.
Similarly, when you make a call from a T-Mobile device, you may choose to block your Caller-ID information, which you can generally do by dialing *67 prior to dialing the called partys number. Refer to the specific instructions for your communication device regarding Caller ID Blocking for other or different dialing instructions. Please note, however, that Caller ID Blocking does not prevent the display of your information when you dial certain business numbers, including 911, 900 numbers, or toll-free numbers. For more specific information or instructions, you may reach a customer service representative by dialing 611 from your T-Mobile phone or 1-800-937-8997 from any phone.

MONTROSE – Representatives from the Welcome Home Montrose Warrior Resource Center and members of the Montrose community are preparing to make their final presentations to the National Civic League, in hopes of being honored as an All-America City for the city's continued work in helping military veterans.
The 64th All-America City awards will be held in Denver June 14-16. Montrose joins 20 other communities in this year's spotlight of honoring and helping veterans and military families.
The last time Montrose was a finalist was in 1990; it finished 11th out of 20, according to Welcome Home Montrose President Melanie Kline.
Kline said Montrose today is deserving of the honor, with its community-wide mission to help veterans integrate back into society.
The award would give Montrose national exposure and could, Kline hopes, lead to the WHM model being picked up by other communities.
"I'm so excited, because we're really anxious for what we're building here," Kline said, adding that the Welcome Home Montrose model "is working." Montrose is the only city in the country, she added, to take on the reintegration of veterans into society "as a city mission."
Kline got word of this year's criteria in February; by March 1, she had formed a small committee to complete the city's application describing Montrose as a "No Barriers" community committed to welcoming veterans and to providing services for those veterans and their families to begin a new live in the area.
"The care for our veterans needs to come from the bottom up," Kline said. "It can't just come from the top down from the government, because that paradigm just isn't working. They do what they can, and the best they can, but these veterans need to integrate back into their communities, back into their families, their jobs and only the communities can open their arms to do that."
Kline said 4,500 veterans in the area are now registered with Veterans Affairs, and that they pump about $20,000,000 in benefit dollars into their local economies each year. About 271 veterans are registered with the Warrior Resource Center's dog tag system, she said.
"All-America City awards recognize local action through community-based problem solving and civic engagement efforts involving the public, private and nonprofit sectors. The designation will give the winning communities "bragging rights" that can help them recruit new businesses, increase jobs and obtain grants for community betterment projects in the future," according to the NCL press release.
The award, according to the release is viewed as a kind of Nobel Prize for civic accomplishment; the NCL has given the award to 600 communities nationwide since its 1949 inception.

The advent of decentralized water and wastewater technologies during the last 15 years has provided many significant opportunities for engineers, planners, and communities to create a sustainable water infrastructure for both new and existing development. Adopting a decentralized approach to water supply and wastewater treatment has many benefits. It effectively enables communities to meet their environmental requirements, reduce the impact of developments on groundwater, conserve natural open spaces, and recycle treated wastewater for beneficial purposes such as irrigation. While there are many different types of technologies available for implementing decentralized strategies, any operations program should consider adopting a life cycle approach to management as part of a long-term solution for creating a sustainable water infrastructure.
Decentralized infrastructure
The traditional centralized approach to water supply and wastewater treatment involves extracting water for use, sending it to a central system for treatment, and then discharging the treated water into a river where it is carried downstream. The centralized approach is a necessary part of supporting large populations, but it can create unintended consequences. For example, effluent discharged to rivers adds additional pollutants to already impaired waters with no water being returned to underground aquifers. With a centralized approach, each additional home connection to the sewer line exhausts more of our water resources.
A newer strategy is to apply a decentralized approach to wastewater treatment, making it possible to provide a sustainable water use model for future development. Through this strategy, new clusters of homes extract groundwater locally, consume it, treat the wastewater onsite, and return it close to its point of origin. This recharges the aquifer and prevents water from being pulled out of the ground and sent down a river. Decentralized systems provide a paradigm shift when thinking about wastewater. In a centralized system, wastewater effluent is considered a waste product and is commonly sent downstream. Decentralized systems, however, consider all water as a resource and keep it local, safely treated, cleaned, and recharging the aquifers through the soil.
Onsite wastewater treatment can also enable water reuse options such as irrigation and aid in creating sustainable systems and new wastewater treatment technology, thus leading to better development practices. Whereas traditional onsite wastewater systems – including single septic tanks – often require extensive land for soil to treat wastewater, new wastewater technology is less land intensive and provides better long-term treatment, especially for nitrogen.
One problem with decentralized technology is that it can be complex to operate, manage, and maintain. The scale of many systems, the regulatory requirements put on them, and the need to manage decentralized water and wastewater infrastructure assets for the long term can present many social, economic, and environmental challenges for owners of decentralized systems. Because many systems are privately owned, the assessment, repair, and replacement of assets that make up water and wastewater infrastructure are ongoing expenses that must be paid for over the lifetime of the system. Understanding the life cycle approach to managing this infrastructure can help owners of decentralized systems move toward a more sustainable management approach.
Benefits of a life cycle management strategy
Implementing life cycle management strategies to manage decentralized water infrastructure can help increase treatment and energy efficiency. They can also contribute to greater financial health and security for communities and end users. A life cycle approach to managing water and wastewater infrastructure enables communities to efficiently allocate their assets and to maximize the value of capital as they plan for future operations and maintenance expenditures. Adopting this model can lead communities to make sound planning decisions for setting rate structures that reflect current and future usage and help to meet the changing regulatory requirements. It can also allow communities to effectively plan for the large capital expenditures needed to keep their infrastructure operating efficiently for the long term.
The goal of life cycle management is to deliver the desired level of service for end users while at the same time maintaining the infrastructure assets at the lowest life cycle cost. By establishing the appropriate cost and timing for repairing or replacing an asset, life cycle management provides a workable framework for understanding and achieving sustainable infrastructure. Managing infrastructure capital assets and minimizing the total cost of owning and operating them, while also delivering the desired service levels to end users, creates a long-term sustainable future.
A life cycle management program incorporates detailed asset inventories, operation and maintenance tasks, and the long-range financial planning necessary to build out to system capacity. By creating a management platform that measures and documents infrastructure conditions and is proactive in keeping infrastructure working well regardless of the age of components or the availability of additional funds, this approach ensures the long-term health of the system. Maintaining accurate data is critical to success. This includes asset attributes (e.g., age, condition, and criticality), life cycle costing, proactive operations and maintenance, and capital replacement plans based on cost-benefit analyses of individual components.
While the benefits of life cycle management range across many aspects of managing water and wastewater infrastructure, outcomes that can be realized include the following:
- prolonging asset life and facilitating in the repair and replacement decisions through efficient and focused operations and maintenance;
- meeting user service demands with a focus on sustainability;
- setting rates based on sound operational and financial planning;
- budgeting focused on activities critical to sustained performance;
- meeting regulatory requirements;
- improving responses to emergencies;
- enhancing treatment performance while diminishing electrical usage; and
- reducing overall costs for both operations and capital expenditures.
Core questions
Life cycle management is centered on a framework of five core questions, which provide the foundation for all planning and future decisions:
- What is the current state of the infrastructure and associated assets?
- What is the required level of service and performance required by the end users and stakeholders?
- Which assets are critical to sustained performance and how long will they last?
- What are the minimum life cycle costs of individual assets?
- What is the best long-term funding strategy to replace assets and pay for ongoing operational costs?
Answering these key questions and using them to create a life cycle management program can begin to address the growing trend for communities to be required to do more with less. A large part of life cycle management is ensuring that the delivery of core services in water and wastewater infrastructure is provided in an efficient, sustainable, and cost-effective manner. It ensures that end users and stakeholders are getting the level of service required, at the lowest sustainable life cycle cost.
Life cycle management in action
Jackson Meadow is a 60-home community designed as a village, located in the historic settlement of Marine on St. Croix in Washington County, Minn. The homes are clustered on 40 acres, which allows conservation of 300 acres of land that is dedicated as permanent open space. The greatest development challenge was to provide onsite wastewater treatment to a small lot cluster development in an unsewered community, without the environmental issues created by standard septic systems.
To accomplish this, Jackson Meadow installed two constructed wetlands to treat and recycle a total of 11,000 gallons per day (gpd) of domestic sewage. The development utilizes gravity sewer for collection and a series of septic tanks for primary treatment. A time-actuated lift station periodically doses effluent from the septic tanks into one of two 11,000-square-foot wetland treatment cells. Wastewater effluent is then passed into the soil for additional polishing, prior to reaching the surficial groundwater.
Although this is a fairly simple system from a technology perspective, having a sound financial model in place from the very beginning has enabled the community to create a reserve fund capable of addressing both the expected capital replacement costs of key assets such as lift station pumps and septic tank pumping, as well as unexpected expenses such as gopher damage, prairie fires, sewer blockages, and changing environmental regulations. The management model developed for Jackson Meadow suggests that a life cycle approach to managing water and wastewater infrastructure offers hope for communities as they seek to get the most out of their treatment system for the long term.
Adjusting the way we think about managing water and wastewater infrastructure assets to provide a cost-effective, sustainable service delivery model enables communities to optimize capital resources. This in turn provides them with the ability to conserve operational costs and invest in critical operations and maintenance programs including the planned upgrades necessary for long-term program success. Implementing life cycle management strategies allows communities to embark on an infrastructure management program that accesses current assets and plans for the future based on a triple bottom line approach – financial, social, and environmental effects. Using this approach in evaluating any infrastructure investment, communities can derive significant benefits and protect the environment for the future.
Adjusting the way we think about managing water and wastewater infrastructure assets to provide a cost-effective, sustainable service delivery model enables communities to optimize capital resources.

Iowa City, Iowa – The Central Michigan field hockey team was unable to keep up No. 8 Iowa in a 7-1 loss Friday.
Junior forward Cayleigh Immelman chipped in the Chippewas' (2-3) lone goal by the goalkeeper 10:23 minutes into the first half to give the Maroon and Gold an early 1-0 lead, but the Hawkeyes' (4-1) defense held CMU to only three shots on goal and four penalty corners the rest of the way.
Despite the loss, sophomore goalkeeper Sadie Reynolds kept fighting in the cage. Reynolds posted a season-high ten saves during the contest saving the first two shots before the Hawkeyes could score.
CMU defense held Iowa to only two goals in the first half. Iowa's junior midfielder Dani Hemeon put the Black and Gold on the board at the 17:15 mark in the first half to even the match, 1-1. Fellow Hawkeye, Natalie Cafone found the back of the cage to give the home squad a 2-1 advantage at the break..
The Hawkeye struck its offense hard and early in the beginning of the second half. Iowa's Sara Watro and Stephanie Norlander scored two goals each to bring the Hawkeyes to a victory.
The Maroon and Gold continue play in a neutral site contest versus Stanford on Saturday, September 14 at 3 p.m. at Grant Field.

Mountain climbers from all around the world come to this spectacular park for a chance to climb Ojos del Salado, the highest volcano in the world, or Nevado Tres Cruces.
This park is 150 km from Copiapó. This area is a magnet for mountain climbers who want to climb Ojos del Salado, the highest volcano in the world, or Nevado Tres Cruces. To access the park it's necessary to take the Camino Internacional after turning onto the highway leading to Quebrada de Paipote. Salt flats, mountains over 6,000 meters high and immense desertscapes have made this park one of the main reference points for high Andean ecosystem conservation and an extraordinary attraction for photographers. The park's 59,000 square hectares are home to a surprising diversity of aquatic birds and sixty species, including flamingos, foxes, llamas and guanacos, mammals typical of the altiplano.There are two clearly defined sectors in the park; Laguna de Santa Rosa and Salar de Maricunga, with 47,000 hectares, followed by Laguna del Negro Francisco, with 12,000 hectares. These wetlands are crucially important global centers for the conservation of migratory birds.Higher-altitude climate is dry with a major difference between day and night temperatures. The park is open to visitors year round, but subject to snow warnings in July and August. Driving with additional fuel is recommended at all times of the year.Laguna del Negro Francisco is a small guesthouse with 10 beds, several mountain bike circuits and 4-wheel drive vehicle routes featuring beautiful lagoons and salt flats. Animal life thrives in the area thanks to an elaborate natural system of meadows known as wetlands, providing suitable vegetation for local species.A mountain climber's paradise with several high mountains, the park's main challenge is the climb to Ojos del Salado, the highest volcano in the world (6,893 m). This is no climb for rookies. Expeditions to the peak last between 10 and 13 days but are free of technical complications until the final stretch. At any rate, it is important to talk to local operators and avoid unnecessary risk.There are two camps on the way up to the summit; the Universidad de Atacama camp at 5,100 meters, and the César Tejos camp at 5,750 meters. Summit attempts are started from this last camp. All necessary precautions must be taken in order to avoid altitude sickness.

Remember Me
Greetings from the Ridge. The more I travel the more I become convinced that traveling with the right folks is every bit as important as where you go and what you see. Your fellow adventurers can make or break your trip and unfortunately there is no website called nincompoop.com to get a rating on these people before your plane takes off. I could write a book on how to be a lousy traveler but I'll give you a few of my observations on the type of person who can make any trip an absolute joy. The ABC's of a great vacationer.
To begin, "A" is for Adaptability. The stereotype of the Ugly American is the gal who will fly half way across the world to see different things, experience different sights and experience new tastes, then become completely discombobulated if her new world isn't exactly like her home neighborhood. "My fork only has three prongs!" (The way you eat, you should use a one-pronger.) "The toilet flushes funny!" (Can you think of a better place for a little humor?) "These don't taste like the tomatoes we have at home!" (Maybe that's because they're not.) "I feel so cramped in this little hotel room!" (Fine. Move in with the folks living in tar shacks on the part of the tour your itinerary conveniently omits.) I once traveled with a lady who brought most of the contents of her living room when she'd travel just so her hotel in Moscow would look as much as possible like her home in Illinois. She even brought a can of air freshener so it would smell the same. The numbskull spent $4,000 to go as nowhere as possible. Happily, according to many foreign tour guides, the Ugly Japanese and the Ugly German are quickly deposing the Ugly American. I guess there are a few categories in which it's a relief to no longer lead the world. "B" is for Behavior. Waiting in line is a prime example of something you must do if you want to travel, and many of our fellow countrymen get upset if they're second in line to get a McBurger in their own neighborhood. When Herb and I went to Alaska last month we waited in line for everything from the airport to the Grand Buffet, and being a naturally talkative soul, I had some of the most delightful conversations of my trip with my fellow standees. There's nothing like waiting in line with little to do to open you up to a new friend. It's an unfortunate fact of life that we all tend to generalize, and the French waiter who you deem to be typical of the entire country of France will no doubt make an equally mistaken impression of all Americans when you complain about getting only two ice cubes in your water glass. That's just the way we think when we choose not to think. Our behavior can easily become the symbol for an entire nationality. "The hotel clerk hardly spoke any English!" (Wow. Where does this Spaniard think he is, Spain?) "All these people do is push and shove!" (It's hard to get to work when the sidewalk is filled with baggage-toting tourists.) "I had to shout for the sales clerk to understand me!" (Good move. A second language is much easier to understand at high volume.) A small dose of good behavior can make the difference between a calamitous vacation and an unforgettable adventure. Which brings us to the "C" of happy traveling, Compromise. Once upon a European trip our travel plans got totally bolloxed and instead of a delightful meal at a nice hotel in Zwette, Austria, we ended up on a converted warehouse staffed by four delightfully frumpy housewives near the Czech border. Both the food and the décor were industrial but there was a piano in the corner and so our little group of Midwesterners had the night of our lives singing the night and the cold potatoes away. Travel is not a matter of finding the ideal, but dealing with what you're given and finding the ideal in the adventure. My most wondrous adventures in traveling have been those that came around an unexpected corner or at the result of a botched itinerary. I think fondly when our tour of Ireland's Ring of Kerry was interrupted by a bicycle marathon clogging the narrow roads so our guide pulled the bus over to the farm of a friend who gave us a demonstration in sheep herding with his intelligent dogs. I don't know what we might have done on that rainy day in Ireland, but I know that because we compromised a bit, our group logged an experience that will forever stand out in our memories of the Emerald Isle. Ready to travel? It's as simple as ABC. You ever in Coonridge, stop by. We may not answer the door but you'll enjoy the trip.

Term limits are our only hope but it will take a national referendum to get them!

Yes, yes, say it Dr. Sowell. Part of the reason we see so little passion on the part of Congress to straighten out Washngton D.C. Is that things are fine and dandy for THEM. If there were strict enforced laws that you do certain dishonest or egregious acts while in office and your pension is affected, things would change. If wrongdoers were fired NOT constantly given the option of resignation, things would change. If you are not legally able to go from FDA Commissioner straight to a six figure lobbying job for big pharma, things would change.

The failed leadership class inside the Beltway has both entrenched itself, enriched itself and beclowned itself.DC is one of the few areas in this economy lurching toward a second recession, that is booming. Pay, perks and property values are all up.Empowering and enriching the bureaucrats is the core of Obama's plan and the rest of us are road-kill.

IMHO, Dr. Sowell's primary purpose with this column is to get some attention paid to the "quality" [?] of politicians. He's too smart to think addressing this one facet of a Gordian problem is a realistic fix.So, attack here: a. no more "one law for me, another for thee" exemptions; b. use the term-limits law we have [elections every 2 years]; c. no more pocketing of campaign donations [send the money to US Treasury]; d. start hacking away at their long-term perks; e. put honest judges on the bench; f. find ways to shape turnout [good voters vote every time, idiots and corrupt give up over time]; g. force sitting members to use their rules to reject unqualified but "elected" Reps and Senators; h. make Ethics Committees meaningful. There's a start. Note that many of these points reinforce the others. As better candidates get elected, the other points go from "impossible" to "maybe some day" to "I never thought I'd see this day!" But there's no silver bullet.#2: Three points: a. we already have term limits [we "term-limited" 750 Democrats out of office in 2010]; b. amending the Constitution will take too long and guarantee the incorporation of great mischief into it by the pols we want out; and c. a referendum would be voted on by the same voters who sent all these [pre-deleteds] to D.C. in the first place.

Great post, #5. Can't see much I disagree with. As to Dr Sowell's about how little it would cost to pay every elected fed plus every fed judge a million dollars a year- I think this has already occurred to Soros and his pals and they have done it. Only the promise of a lot of money can account for some of the completely illogical decisions made on both sides of the aisle.

I have to agree that I don't think Dr. Sowell really thinks it is that simple. The reason paying for quality works in the market is that there is competition based on proven capabilities. A poseur like BO would be quickly discovered and shown the door. The leadership of the government has largely turned into a beauty contest. Do I like the candidate? We poll on likability because it is so important. Likability is great for a movie star but far less so for a leader. You may respect a leader but they probably aren't your buddy. People say they would like to have a beer with BO. That's the quality of president he is. A beer buddy.We may NEED a million dollar a year president but frankly, we are getting the kind of president we deserve as long as the electorate is not paying attention to the issues and common sense for governing. If we were doing that, Romney an obviously qualified candidate and WORTH a million dollar salary, would be polling at 90%. The electorate is choosing a beer buddy. We get what we deserve. As long as our selection process is so flawed, what we offer to pay makes no difference.
