Research Shows College-Aged Women Buy Cosmetics, Strive for Physical Beauty More During Recession
Published: Monday, July 9, 2012
Updated: Friday, July 20, 2012 13:07
Beauty may only be skin deep, but using good looks to attract a mate is deeply rooted in the psychology of college-aged women, according to a series of studies released earlier this year.
The studies – "Boosting Beauty in an Economic Decline: Mating, Spending, and the Lipstick Effect" – found that women are more likely to buy beauty products during recessions in an effort to attract mates, a situation known as the Lipstick Effect.
The paper by researchers from Texas Christian University, University of Texas at San Antonio, University of Minnesota and Arizona State University graduate student Andrew Edward White was published in the Journal of Personality and Social Psychology.
Using historical data on spending and experiments, the authors looked at how and why an economic recession influences women's patterns of consumption in five studies, focusing on unmarried 18-to-24-year-old women.
The studies reveal that when women catch wind of a recession, their desire for appearance-boosting products increases. According to the paper, the Lipstick Effect is driven by women wanting to attract mates who can provide for them.
The first study shows that during recessions over the past 20 years, women spent more on beauty products and less on products that don't increase attractiveness. The second, third and fourth studies found that hints of a recession made young, unmarried women want to buy beauty products and care more about their outward appearances. The fifth study found that when women worried about the recession, advertisements for beauty products were more effective when they emphasized attracting the opposite sex.
Sarah Hill, the author from TCU, wrote an overview of the study for Scientific American.
"Our findings consistently supported the lipstick effect, as college-age women, when primed with news of economic instability, reported an increased desire to buy attractiveness-enhancing goods, along with a decreased desire to purchase goods that do not enhance one's physical appearance," according to Hill.
"Our experiments also found that this increased desire for beauty products, clothing and accessories was fully mediated by a heightened preference for mates with resources," Hill wrote.
In a nutshell, women scramble to find a man who can provide in times of poverty by trying to appear more attractive. Three college-educated working women from Phoenix opened up to share how they have and have not fallen victim to the Lipstick Effect.
ASU Nursing School graduate Kayla Clancy, 22, said she feels like she is always trying to keep up with the newest and best in beauty products apart from her job.
"There is a pressure to keep up appearances," Clancy said. "I wish I didn't, but I usually compare myself to other people."
Clancy is a nurse at Phoenix Children's Hospital, a job she landed a few weeks after her May 2011 graduation. She said she doesn't feel pressure to get all dolled up for work, and her uniform is a comfortable pair of scrubs. She mentioned that her fellow nurses rarely get dressed up for shifts.
"I guess some people do, if they want to meet a doctor or something," she said with a laugh. "You stand out if you do that."
However, outside of the hospital, Clancy said she spends a lot of money to buy makeup, clothes, skin cremes and hair products to catch and keep the attention of the opposite sex. Her beauty stockpile includes foundations, blushes, mascaras, shampoos, conditioners, lotions and self-tanners from various beauty stores.
"Guys will tell you, 'you look so good natural,' but you see the girl that is all glammed up catches their eye," she said. "It's like: Do you mean that, or are you just saying that?"
Kate Barnes, 23, graduated December 2011 from ASU's Walter Cronkite School of Journalism and Mass Communication. She edits commercials at Clear Channel Radio in Phoenix and is a salesperson in the Nike store at the Scottsdale Quarter.
Barnes said competition to get these jobs prompted her to amp up her looks.
"You can have a really good resume, but you also have to look professional and look like an adult. I think that putting yourself together shows that you're responsible and organized," she mentioned.
Barnes said the radio station and athletic clothing store require different beauty routines.
"I don't face the public and I'm kind of in my own cubicle at the radio station, so I don't really wear as much makeup as I do at Nike, when I'm in front of people trying to sell products and shoes," she said.
"I think beauty products are meant to attract people in general and to make yourself feel better," she mentioned, and added that certain products that improve self-esteem are worth splurging on.
"There's always going to be that one product when you're a girl that makes you happy. There's one product, no matter if I'm homeless on the street, I'll somehow manage to buy," Barnes said. For her, it's the Bobby Brown Brick blush.
"I just have to have it," she said. "There are girls that say they can't leave the house without mascara on, or lip gloss or whatever. Mine is that blush."
Barnes said she is thriftier with other purchases, and doesn't need all name-brand items, citing her limited paycheck as inspiration for frugality.
Cal Lundmark, a 23-year-old Fine Arts teacher at Teleos Preparatory Academy, said that since college, she splurges more often on clothes, accessories and beauty products than ever before, but not as a result of economic woes.
"I don't feel much like I've had to boost my appearance for the job market. I suppose I did when I was applying for jobs," she said.
With a degree in religion and zero work experience, Lundmark humorously explained, "I felt like all I had working for me in the way of getting a job was my 'cute' appeal and my general charm. Is that narcissistic? Maybe. Mea culpa."

No doubt about it — TV, interactive video games, and the Internet can be excellent sources of education and entertainment for kids. But too much screen time can have unhealthy side effects.
That's why it's wise to monitor and limit the time your child spends playing video games, watching TV, and on the computer and the Internet.
The American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) recommends that kids under age 2 have no screen time, and that kids older than 2 watch no more than 1 to 2 hours a day of quality programming.
It's also a good idea to make sure kids have a wide variety of free-time activities like reading, playing with friends, and sports, which can all play a vital part in helping them develop a healthy body and mind.
Here are some practical ways to make kids' screen time more productive.

City water or your well?....Upper
Each of my six zones works at approximately 75% pressure for the first 5-8 minutes, then eventually ramps up to the usual area coverage. Never did this before. I read an earlier post about low pressure in one zone and the recommended fix was either a new solenoid or diaphragm. I'm wondering if that could be the issue for me as well.
I have a Watermaster 57223 auto valve model. 3/4". Due to placement, I'd hate to have to replace the entire sprinkler valve.
City water or your well?....Upper
City water. System is at least 5 years old. I have been using it problem free for 3 years.
So if you took 2 or 3 garden hoses and turned them on,the would not fluctuate greatly? Second all zones do this equally?Thirdly when a zone comes on and is lacking,go and manuallly turn the solin. lefty lucy and see if this helps...Upper
The hoses would not fluctuate greatly...pressure is solid at my house.
All zones do this equally. There are 6 zones total.
I haven't fiddled with the solenoids yet. It seems odd that all six would need a tweaking.
I tried turning lefty lucy and saw no noticeable benefit.
Thanks for taking the time to help.

Seems to me that if you're having the problem in each of the 6 zones that the problem is between your water source and the valve manifold. Very doubtful that the problem is in all the individual zone valves. Do you by chance have a master valve in the system? I would track your plumbing back to your water source tie in point. What kind of backflow device do you have? Is there a pressure regulator in the system? These are some of the things you need to check. Especially since it is a city water system, it should be easier to track down.

Now, a new option to register when you sign up for the state's healthcare exchange.
In her lifetime, Amy Shedrick has only voted once - the voter registration process discouraged her from casting her ballot.
"I think just for myself, like I said, it's a little bit confusing," Shedrick said.
Now, the Vermont Health Connect is a voter registration agency.
"I think that would help out a lot, for a lot of people," Shedrick said.
When signing up for the healthcare exchange, you'll be asked to fill out a simple form - one stop shop so you can vote and have a say in the way the state functions.
"We're just trying to make it easier for people to register to vote so that they can access their fundamental rights," Secretary of State Jim Condos said.
The hotter the race, the better the turnout, 65% of Vermont's 460,000 voters turned out to cast a ballot during this past election, that's actually slightly down from 2008. The goal is to have 100% of the eligible voters actually be registered to vote.
"Voting is the very basis; the very fundamental basis of our democracy and every eligible Vermonter should be registered to vote," Secretary Condos said.
You can use the new voter registration option starting in October,
I asked Shedrick, "might consider voting this time around?" She laughed and said, "Possibly!"
In addition to the Vermont Health Connect; you can still register to vote at the DMV, the Department of Health and your town clerk's office.

- Heat the oil in a large non-stick frying pan. Fry the thighs for 8-10 mins, skin side only, until golden brown, then transfer to a casserole dish. Fry the drumsticks for about 5 mins each side and add them to the thighs.
- Pour the stock over the chicken legs in the casserole. There should be enough stock to just cover the chicken, if not add a little water. Bring stock to the boil and cover, leaving lid slightly ajar. Cook at just below simmering point for 30-35 mins until chicken is cooked.
- While chicken is simmering, drain oil from the pan. Heat the butter in pan and add onion. Sweat onion for 5 mins until soft, but not coloured. Turn up the heat, add the mushrooms, then fry for 3 mins until they soften and start to smell wonderful. Pour over the white wine, raise the heat to maximum and boil rapidly for 6-8 mins until reduced by two-thirds. Turn off the heat and leave until chicken has cooked.
- Once chicken legs are cooked, strain stock into pan with the onion, mushrooms and white wine, bring back to the boil and reduce again by two-thirds until it is thick and syrupy. Pour in double cream, bring it to the boil, season if you want, then pour it over chicken. Heat chicken through in the sauce for 2-3 mins then turn off the heat and leave for a few mins before serving. This is such an aromatic and beautiful looking dish you should serve it straight from the casserole with the lid on.
Recipe from Good Food magazine, October 2004
Comments, questions and tips
I did this as part of a hot buffet for a Christmas gathering to go with jacket potatoes. Therefore I used chopped up chicken thighs instead and also used chestnut and portobello mushrooms. It was easy to make and very tasty, it was a massive hit with my guests and was the first thing to go! Will make again.
Made this again tonight, after making many times before. I didn't stick to the recipe that much, and use the recipe as a guide. I used 2 chicken breast for four people, cutting into bite size chunks. I also added a head of broccoli, once boiled and a few rashers of bacon chopped. I used a 300g tub of creme fraiche instead of cream, and used the flora cuisine oil instead of butter. I didn't bother straining the onion and mushroom stock mixture either, just seemed faffy. It does't look as refined with the bits of onion in, but still tastes lovely.Brilliant recipe. Sure would be just as nice without meat. I served this with pasta and parmasan shavings.
yes it can. there's nothing in it that cannot be frozen, until the cream part just like you say. if you've not made it yet though I, like many others reviewing it on here, would highly recommend switching the cream for creme fraiche so its not so heavy and rich, but still gorgeous flavours and texture. it just simply doesnt need full cream. however, freezing part is the same as mentioned.
Very disappointing recipe. There was far too much liquid. The recipe is supposed to take 1 1/2 hrs but there was so much liquid I think I would have had to boil the sauce for at least that long to get a sauce that was "thick and syrupy". I ended up taking out more than half the liquid and then boiling it down, but it was still pretty bland.

James and Laura Kremko need to re-think their finances to pay for Laura's master's and daughter Heather's (center) undergraduate and medical degrees.
After completing her nursing degree this spring, Laura secured a position at a Vacaville, Calif., hospital, boosting the couple's annual earnings from $145,500 (courtesy of James' Air Force pension, his job as a state employee, and rents on two properties) to $221,000.
Great news, but they can't get too used to the cash glut: Laura, 38, has started classes toward her master's, and her daughter, Heather, heads to college next fall. Heather also has plans for medical school, and the Kremkos want to cover the whole eight years.
"Now that I have a family to worry about, I want to know if I'm making good choices," says James, 44.
Thanks to their super savings rates and his two generous pensions, the couple should be able to swing the tuition bills without derailing their retirement -- if they make a few adjustments, says Sonoma, Calif., financial planner Alice King.
Three fixes
Redeploy savings. The Kremkos have been able to cover the $1,100 a month for Laura's schooling out of their income. But there's still the issue of Heather's education. The University of California at Davis, her top choice, will cost $30,000 or so a year.
Related: Most expensive colleges
Based on their new income, the couple planned to sock away $61,000 a year for retirement and another $27,600 into taxable accounts.
Since they already have an ample emergency fund, King says they can redirect the taxable savings to tuition. This will nearly cover the tab, without compromising their retirement.
Refi to speed up debt payoff. The mortgage on the Kremkos' home is at 4.99%, but with their credit scores they can get a 15-year fixed loan at 3%.
King suggests a cash-out refinance exceeding their balance by $45,000, to allow them to pay off their one mortgaged rental (now at 5.12%) and effectively consolidate the two loans into one at a lower rate.
Related: Extreme pays to pay for college
Continuing to make the same total payment, they'll be debt-free by about the time Heather hits medical school, freeing up $3,000 more a month. (College cost finder: Get the latest tuition.)
Reallocate for retirement. Since marrying, James and Laura haven't reassessed their investment mix as a couple.
With a combined 84% in stocks and 16% in bonds, they're too aggressive, King says. She says a 65% stock and 35% fixed-income portfolio will help them better weather a bear market.

Handset Vendors Face "Brutal Fight" for China's Low-end Smartphone Market
As China leads the world in smartphone shipments, top handset vendors are raising their stakes in the nation, and will likely bring more exclusive products and lower-end devices to the market, resulting in fierce competition, according to analysts.
Fri, May 04, 2012
IDG News Service (Beijing Bureau) — As China leads the world in smartphone shipments, top handset vendors are raising their stakes in the nation, and will likely bring more exclusive products and lower-end devices to the market, resulting in fierce competition, according to analysts.
Several research firms are reporting that China has surpassed the U.S. in smartphone shipments or sales, with some of them seeing the trend since last year's third quarter. Analysts expect China to continue leading the market given that the country already has 1 billion mobile phone subscribers, with only about 15 percent of them on the nation's faster 3G networks.
"There is still plenty of room for it to grow," said Nicole Peng, an analyst with research firm Canalys. At the same time, other key regions including the U.S. and Europe already have mature markets, and are still recovering from weak economic conditions. "So China will be a very important engine for smartphone growth this year," she said.
In this year's first quarter, China's smartphone shipments saw a 102 percent year-over year growth, according to Canalys. The U.S. shipments, in contrast, grew by only 5 percent.
China's emergence as a top smartphone market represents a shift from the country primarily being a major manufacturer of mobile phones for overseas markets, analysts noted. Now handset vendors are spending greater resources in the country's smartphone space, whether it be Apple launching the iPhone 4S on China Telecom, Nokia moving its Asia Pacific headquarters to Beijing, or HTC launching smartphones exclusively for China.
But to attract more customers, handset vendors will need to focus on China's low-end market, where smartphones are often priced at 1,000 yuan (US$158) without a contract, according to analysts.
For this year, China's smartphone sales are projected to reach at least 140 million units, up from 77 million in 2011, said CK Lu, an analyst with research firm Gartner. Much of the growth will occur with no-contract smartphones priced between 1,000 and 1,500 yuan, he added.
"3G smartphones will be hitting a price where users can replace their 2G feature phone with a 3G smartphone," Lu said. "It will be a huge replacement, with people moving from 2G phones to 3G smartphones."
This will mean more lower-end phones reaching the Chinese market, resulting in price decreases. Thomas Kang, an analyst with Strategy Analytics, said prices could begin reaching at $75 to the $150 range. This contrasts with the U.S. market, where consumers generally buy smartphones that cost between $350 to $500 without a contract.

Topic review (newest first)
Bumping this because I'm curious if there are any other people doing this...
It would be easier for us if you posted specific questions.
how comes you already know must of it?
teachers still want me to cover it all formally and have written work they can mark me on to make sure im not going to just go in and fail.
So how come you're only doing the 2 modules in january then?
: How are you finding FP1?
I'm nervous for the later modules, because so far nothing has come that is a challenge... I'm doing physics, english and economics with the Further Maths... so much work! Do you have many different maths teachers that teach your class? We have three.. which gets really annoying.
Haha, I took one look at that D1 book and thought there's no way i'm ploughing through this lot! How are you finding FP1?
At the moment I'm doing C1, C2 and M1, which are all really straightforward, and I have the C1 and M1 exams in january. By the end of this school year I will have done C1-C4, M1 and S1. Yeah Ive been told that M2 is hard, and M3 is apparently a nightmare.
yeh, S1 is terribly boring, im starting S2 after january exams: im in yr 12, but i started early.
Heya. That's cool, i'm in year 13. So which modules are you working on right now / doing over the rest of this year?
Well, that doesn't seem so bad. Maybe a bit useless, but not so difficult to learn.
Numerical methods is basically just number crunching, the kind of tedious, repititious process that we normally leave to computers.
I think that's something I don't understand. The other stuff is all stuff I've seen before, but in a bunch of different classes, Not just one.
I couldn't give you an example, as I don't know what it is either :p, but, in more detail, the syllabus describes it as: "equations of the form f(x)=0 solved numerically by i) interval bisection ii) linear interpolation and iii) the Newton-Raphson process.

History of the
National Square Dance Conventions®
9th National Square Dance Convention®
44rd National Square Dance Convention®
Beth and Jerry Curler
|John and Dimple Williford
Iowa's Bid Committee was awarded the 9th National convention when presented in Louisville at the 1958 convention. Nationwide interest in square dancing and its associated functions had increased incredibly in the past years and members of the Executive Committee were "off and running" with the combined successes of the first seven conventions in various parts of the United States. Many dancers seemed interested in taking the convention to the other parts of the United States to afford dancers all over the opportunity to meet other dancers, learn more styles, and dance with the multi-talented callers of the world!
Jerry and Beth Curler were selected by their fellow dancers in the Des Moines area to chair this spectacular event.
The 9th convention was held at the Veterans Memorial Auditorium in downtown Des Moines, and the printed program pictured all committee couples, as well as the National Executive Committee gentlemen (NEC ladies had not yet been recognized at that time). These dedicated National Executive Committee men and wives did meet annually with future convention committees to aid in the planning and producing each year's convention, and this policy has continued throughout the 45 annual conventions chronicled herein.
Statistics note 12,328 dancers registered for this convention, which was the largest attendance to
Birmingham, Alabama was selected for the second time by the National Executive Committee (NEC) in June 1991 to be the location for another National Square Dance Convention. This convention was the 44th and was held in June 1995. The first time Birmingham had been selected was in 1985 when Alabama dancers hosted the 34th National Square Dance Convention.
The Bid Committee was in place by August 1990, and John and Dimple Williford were selected as the proposed General Chairman.
The 44th National Square Dance Convention was fortunate in being able to work with the same elected and appointed officials who were involved in 1985. They were excited about having another convention return to Birmingham and would commit their support in a similar fashion as had been done for the 34th National Square Dance Convention.
The theme "Sweet Home Alabama" was used during the bid process and continued after the award of the bid. The stationery was designed by Dimple Williford using the theme.
The Special Event, Lee Greenwood Concert, was held Wednesday at 6:30 p.m. in the Concert Hall of the Birmingham-Jefferson Civic Center with approximately 2900 in attendance.
History can be defined as systematic recollection of past events and there is no way to include in a brief presentation all of the participants nor the activities which occurred. The 44th National Square Dance Convention® was a cooperative planning effort by dancers in Alabama who were dedicated to producing a quality convention. General Chairman John and Dimple appreciate their committee's love for the square dance activity and that of all participants.

I love the scent of rose and I thought " Hey! Its french, its roses its gotta be good! " and well... meh. Its okay. Not as hydrating as I expected. So I'll keep on hunting.
I think the product works well for what it is supposed to do. It helps relieve dry skin and makes your skin feel silky soft. However, I was off put by the scent. In my opinion, it smelled like an old lady in a funeral home, which is unpleasant for a twenty-something girl like me. If the scent was different, I would definitely use this product.
I really liked how this product cleansed my face while taking my makeup off. Usually, makeup removing cleansers dry my face out and makeup removing wipes leave my skin oily which then I wash my face which makes it dry. I was not a huge fan of the scent, it was ok at first but it lost its scent and smelled not so great as I rubbed it in.
A little goes a long way with this cleanser. This cleanser is gentle yet very effective. I use it with a cleansing brush for deeper exfoliation. I have sensitive skin, which has become even more tempermental lately and this cleanser did not aggrevate my hot spots. Definitely a repurchase in the future.
This smelled very light and clean. It did a fantastic job of removing all makeup especially eye makeup. My skin felt very clean, but not stripped. Great product!
I love this product. I have sensitive skin and I am very wary of products I use on my face. It is gentle and effective and I love the rose scent.
People have their tried and true products, but some of us have to change our products over the years to suit our evolving skin. From hardcore salicylic acid anti-acne face wash to exfoliants, I've had to change my routine every other year. Found this product and its so silky and smooth, I might have to make it a regular in my routine regardless of my other product needs.
I am not a big fan of cream cleansers for my face. After using the sample I wanted to wash my face again. The cleanser did not give me the clean feel. I later tried it again as a "cold cream" of sorts letting it rest on my face then washing it away with my face wash. It does have a light rose water scent to it which is not bad. It's nice to use to remove eye make up before bed. I got more satisfaction out of it using it that way.
This stuff feels and smells wonderful and I love to use it, but it did seem to make me break out a bit. Definitely not a substitute for anti-acne products.
It feels like it dissolves in your hand when it's mixed with water, almost like when you use the MAC oil cleanser to remove eye makeup you can't use it really with water, if anyone is familiar with MAC oil cleanser then you may understand what I mean. The scent is great so I'm gonna try this product one more time!

Preparing Your Nib Files for Localization
The native integrated development environment (IDE) for OS X consists of Xcode, Interface Builder, and a suite of build, debugging, and performance tools. Developers use Interface Builder to create user interfaces for their applications. Interface Builder saves these interfaces as archives called nib files. You can localize nib files just as you can localize image and sound files.
Nib files store the user interface of your application, including windows, dialogs, and user-interface elements such as buttons, sliders, text objects, and help tags for these elements. A nib file also stores the connections between these objects that cause actions to be performed when the user activates controls.
Using Nib Files Effectively
Translators typically localize the pieces of the user interface all at once, adjusting graphic elements to account for changes in string lengths. In any medium-size or large application, it's usually a good idea to put each window or panel (that is, dialog) in its own nib file. This practice not only makes it possible to load the user interface lazily (that is, to load pieces as they're used), but it also permits localization to progress in more incremental steps. It's also a good idea to put the menus of the application in a separate nib file.
Translators can use a combination of Interface Builder and
ibtool to localize nib files. Using these tools, the translator would open the nib files in a given language
.lprojdirectory, localize the strings, change the sizes of the user-interface elements to accommodate the new strings, and save the changes back to the nib files. There are a few other things to watch out for:
Objects in a nib file typically have connections between them that should not be broken. Make sure you lock all connections before handing your nibs off to translation. For information on how to lock down your nib file, see "Localization" in Interface Builder User Guide.
Dialogs and windows usually have minimum or maximum sizes that are specified through the inspector. If a dialog or window must be made wider for a given language, the translator should check to make sure that the minimum size is also updated to an appropriate value.
Some user-interface objects support help tags—explanatory text that appears when the user moves the mouse over the object for a short period. You can define the help tags for an object in Interface Builder's inspector, where the translator can also localize those strings.
In your nib files, it is also important to remember that localization will likely change the size of visible text in your windows. If text labels do not have room to expand, the localizers may have to adjust the size of your window or the positions of the label or other controls. In general, you should expect text labels in English to expand by up to 40% in length during translation.
Viewing Localizable Strings in Interface Builder
In Interface Builder 3.0 and later, you can obtain a list of the strings in your nib file by choosing Tools > Strings. The window that appears (Figure 1) contains a list of the objects in your nib file along with entries for each property that contains a string that might be displayed to the user. The Value column shows the string (if any) that is set for each property when the nib file is loaded into memory.
In addition to viewing all of the strings in a nib file, developers and translators can also use the Strings window it to edit the string values. Double-clicking the value for an entry makes that entry editable. If you specify a new value, Interface Builder applies that value to the specified property.
For more information about using the Strings window, see Interface Builder User Guide.
Using ibtool
It can be tedious to translate nib files manually and even more tedious to propagate subsequent design changes to the already localized nib files in your project. Fortunately, the
ibtool command-line utility makes propagating changes to other nib files much easier. This tool operates on a dictionary of all the strings in your nib file. Using it, you can extract the strings from the nib file, translate them, and then inject them back into the nib file. Alternatively, if you already have valid translations, you can inject the already-translated strings into a master nib file containing any recent design changes to update the localized nib files.
The following example shows you how to extract the English strings from the main nib of a project into a new strings file. You can store a copy of the resulting file for use later or give the file to the translation team.
ibtool --generate-strings-file MainMenu.strings en.lproj/MainMenu.nib
The following example takes the original English-based nib file and merges it with the translated strings to create a localized version of the nib:
// The translated strings are in the de.lproj directory
// with the same name as the original file.
ibtool --strings-file de.lproj/MainMenu.strings --write de.lproj/MainMenu.nib en.lproj/MainMenu.nib
For more information about how to use
ibtool, see "Localization" in Interface Builder User Guide.
Generating Localized Nib Files
Internationalizing applications for OS X involves, in part, putting localized resource files in the proper location in your bundle. Fortunately, Xcode provides help with organizing your localized resource files. To internationalize a resource file in Xcode 3.1, do the following:
Add the resource file to Xcode.
Expand your project in the Groups & Files pane.
Select the Resources folder.
Choose Project > Add to Project….
Use the file browser to navigate to the resource, select it, and click Open.
In the dialog that Xcode displays, select "Copy items into destination group's folder", choose one of the "relative" reference styles (for example, "Relative to Project"), and select the desired target. Click Add.
Select the resource file and open the Inspector window (File > Get Info).
If the file is not already localizable, click the Make File Localizable button in the General tab of the Inspector window.
In the General pane again, click the Add Localization button. In the sheet that appears, select or type the locale you want to add. Xcode copies the resource to the other
If your resource file is a plain text file, you should be sure to set the File Encoding for each localized copy. You can set the default localization of the file before you make the file localizable. You can use different encodings for different localized versions of the file. To set the encoding for a specific localization, choose that localization in the Groups and Files pane and change the setting in the Inspector window.

It's the fulfillment of a goal of Councilman Elvin Henson, who is serving his first term on the council, but it's the result of a lot of cooperation, Henson said.
Members of city staff are building the bathrooms. The Cleburne County Commission contributed $4,000 toward the project, and Commissioner Emmett Owen sought donations of building supplies for the bathrooms.
"I was tickled to death things just fell into place," Henson said. "It happened because everybody worked together — something they can't do in Washington."
The city hasn't always had such good results with the park that's planned for the site. The City Council had to turn down a grant from the Alabama Department of Economic and Community Affairs to build a handicapped accessible playground on the site. The city's portion wasn't figured properly, and the council had to pay about $130,000 out of the city's general fund to receive a $206,000 match.
The council members had hoped city staff working on the site would provide most of the city's match. At the April meeting, City Council members reluctantly voted to return the grant.
But Henson is excited to see another piece of the park almost ready for use, he said.
Mayor Rudy Rooks said the bathrooms will someday serve people using a walking trail and playground on the site. The playground the city plans now will be scaled back from the original vision, and it won't include the handicapped-accessible equipment, Rooks said.
Once finished, the park will be the fourth in Heflin, said Tammy Perry, director of the city's Parks and Recreation Department. The city also has a park at the Heflin Recreation Center, an archery and air-gun range and the Lake Point Disc Golf Course. The city's plans call for the walking track to be built next at the arts center and then the playground, she said.
Perry said it's going to be an improvement for an underused city property. The planned attractions will accommodate both the children and adults who currently use the arts center for ballet lessons, scouting and adult education classes, she added.
The building where the arts center now resides used to be the Heflin Training School, the city's segregated school for blacks, said Henson, who attended there. The school system integrated in 1968 and the building sat empty for years. In 2007, the newly renovated building reopened as the Heflin Community Arts Center. A three-story gymnasium that was also on the property had grown too dilapidated to save, he said. When that building was torn down, he and other alumni of the school collected bricks and blocks from the building as remembrances, Henson said. He's glad to see the school building preserved and the grounds being used again, Henson added.
Michael Bruno, who works in the city's Street Department and is called on to do special projects such as the bathrooms, said the new bathrooms should be ready for use in a couple of weeks. He's been working on the building for two weeks, Bruno said. Each of the two bathrooms will have one toilet and one sink, he said.
While the walking track will be built next, it's still in the planning stages and there is no scheduled timeline for work to begin, Henson said.

Gellen Mallor felt as though he had been walking for a century, no make that a millennium. He wondered what came after that, and age perhaps? No matter he felt if he took one more step he would collapse and never move again. The party had been walking since the sun rose cold and distant in the gloomy grey sky. "Some marvelous adventure" he mumbled to himself. He had signed on to this expedition in hopes of a quick profit and a quick return to his favorite tavern and his favorite girls. That had been four months ago. Four long tiring achingly boring months. The first of those eternities spent on a crowded and decidedly uncomfortable ship crossing an endless sea. "We will explore a new land only recently discovered" were the words of the expedition leader. Mallor had no care for new worlds or the old one for that matter. He made his life off the toil of others. His way was the easy way the quick pilfer or well executed scam. Walking and working were not. This land held no treasure nor even any inhabitants that they had yet seen. He grumbled to himself once more that this was no place for a thief....
I really have no idea what this is. I know what is NOT, it is NOT a WIP of the Sea Ward of Stormhaven that I should be working on. It is NOT the next installment of the Adventures of Calan Stonebridge encounter map series. It is for lack of a better word a "digital" doodle. I was playing with clouds and textures and came up with this. I kind of see it as a little valley among a mountain and a large fairly wild forest. I liked it enough to post it and maybe some one can use it. I'll probably play with it some more as time allows. Feedback as always is welcomed and appreciated.

MINNEAPOLIS—Canvass workers from the non-profit mobile food shelf Sisters' Camelot have formed a foodsharing organization of their own, the North Country Food Alliance. The canvassers went public to their bosses, the Sisters' Camelot managing collective, as a union affiliated with the Industrial Workers of the World (IWW) at the end of February. On March 1st, the managing collective refused to negotiate with the union causing the workers to go on strike. Three days later management fired one of the striking canvassers, a firing that was later found to be illegal by the National Labor Relations Board (NLRB). Rather than accepting the NLRB's settlement offer, the Sisters' Camelot managing collective chose instead to work with a national union-busting law firm, FordHarrison, to fight the decision before a administrative law judge. Both sides are awaiting the verdict from the trial.

Donate to the Mobile Rail Workers Union Strike Fund!
From July 26th to 29th, Management at Mobile Rail Solutions fired three workers actively engaged in unionizing efforts. The termination of these organizers is a direct attack on their Union drive and apparent retaliation for their recent OSHA filings. Management then threatened to continue firing workers showing no respect for their employees or labor law.
In response, the workers have self-organized a strike and will be picketing at Union Pacific's Global 1 location in Chicago, Illinois. They demand a meeting with Mobile Rail's general manager to discuss the recent wave of Unfair Labor Practices and for the reinstatement of their three fired workers. With most workers coming to the picket line, they expect locomotive servicing will come to a halt.
Submitted on Lun, 07/29/2013 - 8:49am
On Friday, Mobile Rail management fired two workers, Eric and Dwayne, and claimed that they will be firing all non-CDL carrying employees. We see this as a clear attack on the Union and a direct retaliation for the worker's recent OSHA complaints. For years, Mobile Rail has deployed its locomotive service trucks with teams of one driver accompanied by one non-CDL helper. The attempt to break apart these teams not only is meant to destroy the organizing efforts but also creates an extremely hazardous situation for all workers. By changing to a single-driver operation, there will be no protections in the case that the one driver suffers heat stroke, is injured by faulty machinery, or is a victim of a train accident. We are immediately calling upon all IWW members and supporters to call Mobile Rail Management and politely but firmly demand they rehire both Eric and Dwayne. We ask that you further demand that all drivers are accompanied by a helper. You can reach Mobile Rail Solutions management at 847-551-9767 or call Tim, the general manager, directly at 224-622-9201.
Submitted on Dim, 07/28/2013 - 1:57pm
On Friday the 26th, Management at Mobile Rail Solutions fired Eric and Dwayne, two non-CDL service-helpers who are active participants in the ongoing Unionization effort. They further alluded to the possibility of firing all remaining non-CDL carrying employees. While management claims this is part of a restructuring, we believe that the firings constitute a broad attack on protected organizing activity and most likely a direct retaliation against protected OSHA complaints recently filed across several Mobile Rail locations.

Urban Meyer hasn't decided if he will coach in 2012by Jason Lieser
Former Florida coach Urban Meyer sounds like he is enjoying his work at ESPN and his free time, but it is clear he is not retired from coaching.
There will be speculation about his return throughout the fall, especially with Ohio State likely looking to replace interim coach Luke Fickell before Christmas. Meyer was position coach at Ohio State in 1986 and '87, and grew up in Ohio. It seems like an obvious landing spot if he wants to coach next year.
He has not indicated his plans beyond saying he will stay at ESPN for the upcoming season, but he is considering coaching again.
"I'm in a little bit of an evaluation phase in my life," he said this afternoon. "I'm trying not to look too far in advance.
There's big part of me that hopes I love what I'm doing (at ESPN) and really enjoy witnessing some of the things of my kids growing up. But I do miss coaching very badly, so I don't know. I'm not going to evaluate until it's time to evaluate."
My bet is he's coaching Ohio State next year. Not a bold stance, obviously.
Moving on, here are some of Meyer's thoughts on the Gators:
– He called the Gators "loaded" and "one of the most underrated teams." The key for Florida, in his view, is the offensive line playing well and the skill players around QB John Brantley staying healthy.
– He attributed Brantley's poor play in 2010 to the injuries and inconsistency around him.
"If they lose all their running backs this year and their tight end gets hurt and their fullback gets hurt, I think they're going to struggle," he said. "If Jeff Demps and Rainey don't play for most of the season, if their fullback doesn't play, and then if Jordan Reed gets hurt like he was last year, I think they're going to struggle.
"I think a quarterback is the product of the guys around him, and if he lacks confidence in the guys around him he loses confidence himself. That was a very difficult situation for John last year."
– He is impressed by the way new coach Will Muschamp is carrying himself. His main advice to Muschamp is to be mindful of the fact that whatever happens at Florida will get nationwide attention.
"I found that out," he said. "You have to be so cautious what you say and who you say it to because it becomes such a national story every time something occurs."
