Orlando (Fla.) Olympia offensive tackle Shawn Curtis has official visits scheduled to Mississippi State, NC State and Syracuse, and would think about taking one to Wake Forest if the Demon Deacons offer him a scholarship."They [Wake] said they have to make room and everything," Curtis said. "They don't have enough scholarships I guess. I have made a visit to Wake Forest. The first week of the summer I went on a trip to all four [Duke, NC State and UNC] and Wake was my final one."Tom Elrod is Curtis' primary recruiter for the Demon Deacons. Curtis has also had some interaction with Wake's offensive line coach Jonathan Himebauch."It's [his relationship with Elrod] good," Curtis said. "He reaches out to me on Facebook to check in with how I'm doing and to make sure I'm still thinking about them. They're still trying to get me an offer. He [Himebauch] really likes me a lot. He said the next offer that they have to give out it would definitely be me, and he just likes the way I play."He added if Wake Forest offers he would strongly consider it.The 6-foot-5 and 270-pounder, who is rated as a three-star recruit and the nation's No. 68 offensive tackle by Rivals.com, claims scholarship offers from Buffalo, Cincinnati, Connecticut, Duke, East Carolina, Florida Atlantic, Florida International, Illinois, Iowa State, Kentucky, Louisville, Mississippi State, NC State, North Carolina, South Alabama, South Florida, Syracuse, while Florida State, Indiana, UCF and Wake Forest are showing interest."[I'm hearing the most from] USF, FIU, Syracuse, Iowa State and Mississippi State," Curtis said. "I'd say Syracuse, North Carolina State, Duke, USF, Iowa State and Mississippi State those all stand out right now.""[I want the school I choose to have] a great education, so the degree will mean a lot after football, a great coaching staff, a coaching staff I can really get along with, and a great program that will have a great offense."Curtis added he will choose a school sometime during the season most likely after he takes a couple of visits. ...More...

The link below (if you scroll down till you see golden diffraction pattern illustrations ) actually fully supports Drollere!!!
This means the classic diffraction profile is all wrong and that the normally VERY shallow diffraction ring profile is actually not a flat slumpy wave but a raised set of concentric rings CONVERGING WITH the shrinking fainter spurious disk profile.
If this is correct this tosses a lot of things up in the air for reconsideration on when a telescope actually keeps resolving finer and finer resolution levels as the light fades compared to when this advantage might drop off as the graininess of fainter light obscures these gains.
Here's the link:
Here's the quote:A threshold explanation for the changing angular size of the disc does not explain the fact that the first diffraction ring contracts around this decreasing disc, becoming slightly thinner and separated from the disc by a constant or slightly narrower first gap (diagram right, C). It does not keep the same diameter regardless of the star magnitude, which would produce in very faint stars a visibly enlarged first gap around a much reduced Airy disc (diagram right, B).

Vera Verto is a spell that Transfigures animals into water goblets. If done incorrectly or with a faulty wand the transformation will only be partially successful, as shown by Ron Weasley in 1992.
Behind the scenes
- The incantation for this spell is spelt "Vera Verto" in the DVD subtitles. Whether or not this is a mistranscription is unknown, however, one of the alternate spellings it could have, based purely in etymology, would be "Fera Verto".
- When the students are practising this spell, the script identifies the rat Ron is attempting to transform as Scabbers. This is odd, as Scabbers is actually an Animagus.
- In the video game version of Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix, Harry has to transform an animal into a cup during his practical Transfiguration OWL exam. It is unknown if this spell was Fera Verto. In the PC version, it was mentioned that a girl had transfigured a mouse into a cup.
Vera Verto comes from Latin vera, meaning "true" or "right", and Latin verto, meaning "I turn" or "I change"; hence it could translate directly to "I change right". The first word of the incantation is similar to the French word verre, meaning "glass" or "a glass", but this could not be correct as it would then translate to "I change a glass".
Latin fera means "a beast" or "an animal" and hence if the incantation were actually Fera Verto it would mean "I change a beast"
- Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets (film)
- Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix (video game) (possibly)

TALLAHASSEE, Fla. (AP) - A proposed Florida constitutional amendment that would have curtailed abortion rights has been defeated.
Amendment 6 garnered support from only 44 percent of voters on Tuesday with most ballots counted. All amendments require 60 percent voter approval.
The proposal was placed on the ballot by the Republican-majority Legislature. It would have prohibited taxpayer funding of abortions, which the state doesn't do anyway.
The measure also would have exclude abortion from privacy rights protected by the Florida Constitution, which are stronger than those in the U.S. Constitution.
It was seen by supporters and opponents alike as a step toward requiring minors to get parental consent for abortions.

Oh my goodness!!! You look fantastic!!!!!!!!
Love your flamingo outfit!
I LOVE YOUR HAT!!! And what a treat to see YOU in action on your own blog =-)
Great fun...that costume of yours! Makes me want to go to Bush Gardens. LOL
Lovely photos!
Ari, you look so stunning!!
Rollerena, of course, is a classic. Mr. Cohen, I admire your sense of style and color here...even if the hat might be too much for me. The point being that we who have style and are not cowardly conformists dress for ourselves. Anyone on the street who laughs or makes a negative comment needs to see themselves and the picture is never pretty. I call them "sewer hayseeds".

Did you know?
EUR-USD traded briefly under 1.1400, basing at 1.1386 before lifting back over the figure. The dollar had been generally firm through the morning session, with buying likely related to last minute short covering ahead of Friday's key U.S. employment report. The data could go some way in firming up expectations for a June Fed rate hike. In the meantime, good bids are reportedly in place down to 1.1350, last Friday's low. Read More ►

The dollar traded firmer against its G3 peers, and other currencies, including sterling and the Canadian dollar, although the latter found a footing amid a 2.5%-plus rally in oil prices on news of major wildfires in Canada, which threaten to disrupt crude output. EUR-USD is down for a third straight day, posting a low at 1.1426. This extends the losses from Tuesday's nine-month peak at 1.1616. The euro has also declined against sterling and the yen, ...

The G3 currencies consolidated and the Aussie rallied following a batch of forecast-beating data out of Australia. USD-JPY oscillated around 107.00 in subdued trading Asia with Tokyo markets still closed (reopening tomorrow). Yesterday's rebound peak at 107.45 has been left unchallenged, and a period of consolidation seems likely. Tuesday's 18-month low at 105.55 looks safe for now.

Allen County, Ind. (www.incnow.tv) - Governor Mitch Daniels along with many other local and state lawmakers cut the ribbon opening the new portion of U.S. 24 in Allen County.
The $93 million project has been in the works since 2008.
The Fort to Port Project is a big milestone for the governor and everyone involved.
Toni Mayo with the Fort Wayne INDOT District said, "It's like opening the biggest package under the tree. It's a project that we've been watching, working with construction, working with the media, since I believe it was 08."
Both the westbound and eastbound lanes are now open on the new U.S. 24 highway.
Allen County will rename the former U.S. 24 as Old U.S. 24.

Columbia, SC (WLTX) - Ohio State University apparently intends to talk to USC women's basketball coach Dawn Staley about their vacant head coaching position.
USC Athletics Director Ray Tanner confirmed to News19 Friday night that Ohio State had contacted him to get permission to approach Staley, and he granted it. Tanner, though, says fans can "rest assured" that he will do everything possible to keep Staley in Columbia.
Staley just completed her fifth season at Carolina, where she led the team to the second round of the NCAA women's tournament. Last season, the team made the Sweet Sixteen.
Ohio State fired their coach, Jim Foster, 10 days ago after the team failed to make the tournament.

Whomever he ends up fighting, Dan Henderson (29-8 MMA, 5-2 UFC) admits his next title shot could be his last.
"With my career winding down, I know that I probably won't have too many title shots in the future if I don't take advantage of this one," Henderson told MMAjunkie.com Radio (www.mmajunkie.com/radio).
Henderson is expected to meet the winner of tomorrow's light-heavyweight title bout between champ Jon Jones (15-1 MMA, 9-1 UFC) and Rashad Evans (17-1-1 MMA, 12-1-1 UFC). But if he could pick the opponent that would give him the best chance to take the belt, he'd rather fight Jones.
"I think I match up better with Jones," Henderson said. "Jones will stand up with me a little bit. He doesn't take as many shots from the outside that Rashad does. "Rashad will be trying to put me on my back a little bit. Rashad would stand with me as well, but he doesn't forget that he's a wrestler."
Not surprisingly, Henderson doesn't think Evans will forget when the UFC 145 pay-per-view event rolls around at Philips Arena in Atlanta.
"I think it's going to be a lot closer than what the fans think, that Jones will just walk right through him," he said. "I don't think so at all. Rashad looked real solid in his last fight, and if he comes out with a good game plan – I definitely think he's going to put Jones on his back.
"We haven't really seen Jones there. It just depends on how he handles that and who can implement their game plan."
Some have questioned what exactly Henderson's game plan is when it comes to his career. After turning down a chance to fight Antonio Rogerio Nogueira at UFC on FUEL TV 2 – the headliner eventually went to Alexander Gustafsson and Thiago Silva – and allegedly turning down a rematch with Mauricio "Shogun" Rua, whom he beat in a spectacular UFC 139 fight, there are those who think Henderson is boxing himself in.
After all, half the year could pass before the winner of Jones vs. Evans is ready to fight. (Just getting that matchup took nearly a year.) Then there's the possibility of a controversial decision, which might prompt the UFC to schedule an immediate rematch as in the case of Ben Henderson vs. Frankie Edgar and Nick Diaz vs. Carlos Condit (before Diaz's commission woes sunk that idea).
UFC president Dana White's frustration with Henderson's snub of Nogueira and request to wait for a title shot was apparent.
But Henderson believes he's made the right decision, and with his name front and center as the next contender, it appears he was right.
"I won't be waiting it out much longer," Henderson assured. "I don't see that happening even if it is controversial. They can have a rematch after I take the belt from one of them."
Henderson said he was never formally offered a fight against Rua, but he is open to the idea of a rematch if it's contested for the belt. Which, of course, he plans to take from Jones or Evans.
"It's the only belt I haven't won, and it's on my list of things to accomplish before I retire," he said.

The picture is at the end of my hallway and it reminds me that angels are always watching over me. It is a very striking piece in my opinion and I loved it the first time I saw it. It doesn't have much color, but I knew that when I purchased it. I have it on a yellow wall, so it stands out with the blacks, brown and white that are in it.

Arsene Wenger set to extend Arsenal contract
Arsene Wenger has today given his biggest hint yet that he is close to signing a new contract, and wishes to finish his managerial contract with Arsenal.
Wenger, who has one year remaining on his contract often leaves it late when renewing, but wants to show his faith in his team and his belief in the project he has been building at the Emirates for the last several years.
"I have to show how much I believe in this team by showing my commitment, my situation will be sorted out very soon."
"I believe my commitment to the club has nothing do with the speculation of how the season would go, because that would be unfair.
If I do not do well, and one day the club is not happy with me I can completely understand that I do not stay here any more. But I believe we will do well."
"What will be success is to improve from last year, which is to win the league – that is the only benchmark – You cannot finish third and then say for the season after, you want to finish behind that. We are a young side and the improvement is natural – the ambition is there, we are hungry for success."
"We know people want more from us and we are ready to give more, but success is to win the league."

Ashley Monroe gets her country vocals naturally. Her paternal grandfather was first cousins with Carl Smith, a Country Hall of Fame Singer known as "Mr. Country." He was also June Carter's first husband. But Ashley has created her own sound as a singer, songwriter and musician, crossing genres and even touring with Jack White.
With every note, you can hear, even feel Ashley Monroe's soulful Appalachian spirit. Not only has it set her apart, it's attracted country music's elite from Willie Nelson to Vince Gil.
"I just appreciate that it is a gift and I'm able to make a living using it and meet really amazing heroes along the way," said Ashley.
She's come a long way since her WBIR debut as a very young teen. Then it was only a dream.
Music is all Ashley's ever known.
"I always sang ever since I was a little bitty girl."
Her life started out very simple in the small town of Corryton.
"A lot of my family lived on the same road growing up. It was ideal, it was wonderful."
And, most childhood days were filled with music.
"I would just go up in my room and play classical piano for hours and hours."
When she wasn't playing, Ashley was listening to Hank Williams, Patsy Cline, the Eagles and of course Sevierville native Dolly Parton.
"I used to dress up like her. People will say, 'You sound like Dolly.' I didn't ever like try to copy her or anything like that. I think there's something in the blood around here, you know that Appalachian blood that's got a little lonesome in it."
At age 13, life as she knew it stopped. Ashley's dad passed away.
"My heart was so heavy."
Ashley started writing songs to get through each day.
"And, these songs would just come to me in my sleep."
Eventually, Ashley found clarity in the pain and realized she and her mom had to leave the sadness behind.
"I told her (mom) 'let's take care of each other and start over.'"
So, they moved to Nashville. And, even though they didn't know a soul, Ashley was discovered shortly after. She credits her late father's guidance.
"I feel like he had a hand in saying, 'no, no, stay away from there' and 'yes, meet this person,' you know."
And what a journey it's been. Ashley put it to words this year in her second studio album and title track "Like a Rose" produced by Vince Gil.
In addition to her solo career, Ashley's also a member of the female trio "Pistol Annies" with Miranda Lambert and Angaleena Presley.
"It was such a good accident really."
After a camping trip slash writing session, Ashley and Miranda, old friends, got a wild hair and called Angaleena.
"And we were like, 'Hey, you want to start a girl band with us? We wrote "Hell on Heels" like the first month of hanging out. So, yeah, definitely lots of chemistry there."
This year, the trio took a break from touring, but still won two CMA nominations and released their sophomore album. One of their biggest thrills-- landing a song on the Hunger Games soundtrack.

Looking at the Vibram FiveFingers shoes, I find myself wondering why?
What possible benefits do they bring as opposed to a traditional sole?
Their web site (in the why barefoot section) seems to suggest that they are a more
natural way to use your feet and then suggest a series of exercises to do to become used to the shoes. I'm not convinced buying a very expense pair of shoes that I can't wear until I complete a rigourous training regime are a good idea. I've not once looked at my boots and thought I wish I could feel all the rocks under my feet.
In all their marketing material (that I can see) they make no substantial claims as to what the tangible benefits are.
I'm tempted to suggest that they are simply a marketing gimic, or am I missing something?
Does anyone love these? Can they explain why and what benefits they bring?
As a side note to this question I was speaking to a friend of mine at the weekend who's a manager of a national UK outdoor chain store (by far the largest chain in the UK). Apparently this company have decided they are a gimic and that their day's are over, apparently sales have been dropping for some time. As such they will no longer be stocking FiveFingers in any form.
Thought is was an interesting perspective as it seems to point to a decline in these types of shoes. If you really like these you may want to think about stocking up!

This article is lacking a section listing all of its known appearances in canon. Please help the Harry Potter Wiki by adding such a section, so that it conforms with our layout guide.
Magical portraits are a type of sentient artefact, and are common in the wizarding world. The subjects of portraits are sentient, can speak to and with people on the outside, and they can move into other portraits in the same building, as well as visit their own portraits in other places. Some pure-blood wizards think that Muggle portraits are weird, because they do not move or display the personality in them.
Portraits beings
Beings in painted portraits have most of the capabilities of physical beings, only from inside the world of their frame or network of portraits nearby in which they can travel. They are usually resurrected for a fixed purpose which they stick to. They are fully sentient however, the details of the personalities and memories vary depending on the circumstances of the being depicted; and in most cases are more like an "echo" of the person they represent. They are still conscious beings, only embedded inside a frame. In most cases they are not able to accurately remember all of their subject's memories, and therefore have separate memories and a separate existence from within the portrait world whilst taking the form of a real person. Therefore it is safe to say that in most cases a portrait being's personality is only a replica of their subject's. However, if the portrait painter is drawing themselves it is most likely that the portrait being could have exactly the same personality and memories of the subject (depending on which aspects of themselves the subject wants to be portrayed). Portrait beings are aware that they are not actually the person they represent but a replica, and they may describe themselves as 'only a copy of themselves,' if they are not able to accurately answer a question about their subject's life. It is thought that the accuracy of a portrait personality is that of where and/or when the being's personality is depicted, the accuracy could also depend on how well the portrait painter knows the person they are painting.
Portrait beings can live indefinitely, although they are not completely immortal, and it is thought that if caused by another portrait being, or if the portrait is damaged from means of the outside world, then a being can die. However portraits can be restored.
Portraits are often produced or created after a person's death. This can allow the person to live on to some extent, and if a self-portrait (and the subject decided to portray every aspect of their personality), then in some rare cases, the dead person is effectively 'bought back to life eternally,' and the portrait is completely accurate. However this is very rare, and in most cases the portrait being is only an echo of their subject with many differences to their personality and memories.
Portrait beings may not only be humans, but animals as well. Entire landscapes can also exist in portraits. In the film adaptation of Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban, when the Fat Lady's portrait was damaged, the portrait she moved to was a landscape with animals in it. It is most likely possible that portrait beings can effectively 'add' to their portraits, and even create places within the portrait that is not visible from the portrait's frame.
Portraits are used to guard secret passages, and possibly used for everyday tasks; for example, a portrait being representing the owner of a house-elf could command it in the absence of the owner so that the house can be maintained.
The portraits of past Headmasters at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry are created to help the current Headmaster. A portrait of a Headmaster appears in the office after their death. These portraits only have memories which shall be useful to assisting future headmasters, and are therefore barely accurate although these portraits' personalities are similar to that of their subject's.
It is most likely that to paint a magical portrait, a certain type of magic paint is required, however this may not be the case. Albus Dumbledore's portrait appeared in the Headmaster's office within hours, if not minutes of his death. This suggests that either Headmaster's portraits are created during the Headmaster's lifetime, or else the position is somehow enchanted to ensure that a painting is automatically created.
Portraits vs. magical photographs
Portraits are different than the moving photographs seen in the wizarding world. Any movement within a photograph is just a mere recording on a continuous loop. The people depicted have no sentience whatsoever. They are essentially isolated within the world of their photograph.
Travelling in portraits
Apparently, only a single portrait-being of an individual can exist, and if they have more than one portrait, they must spend time moving between them. Apparently if the location inside two portraits are the same, then a being could essentially be in both portraits at one time; it is possible that this trick is used as a means of communication. Two people viewing two different portraits of the same being/object which is portrayed in the same location, could see the other party out of the other portrait's frame. The two parties could then communicate with each other through the two frames. This could supposedly be done either with or without the intervention of a portrait being. It is unknown whether this use of portrait magic is actually used, but is most likely possible. This trick is similar to a two-way mirror.[citation needed]
Phineas Nigellus Black has a painting in the Headmaster's office in Hogwarts and at 12 Grimmauld Place. In 1997, Hermione took Phineas' portrait from 12 Grimmauld Place and placed it in her small, beaded bag and carried it with her during their travels.[1] Later, Harry, asked the portrait of Phineas Nigellus if it was possible to bring Professor Dumbledore from his portrait in Hogwarts to the portrait from Grimmauld Place, but Phineas Nigellus angrily answered that the portraits of Hogwarts may commune with each other, but they cannot travel outside the castle except to visit a painting of themselves hanging nearby.[2]

Behind the scenes
- In the film adaptation of Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban, it is established that at least some portrait subjects have the ability to move between different portraits, at least within Hogwarts. After her portrait is damaged, the Fat Lady vacates it, and a search of other portraits is ordered (and she is indeed found hiding in one nearby). In a deleted scene, Sir Cadogan is also shown moving from portrait to portrait, even to the extent of flirting with a female portrait.
- In the LEGO Harry Potter games, portraits are shown to be far more interactive than in any other media, with objects able to move from the portrait out to the real world and vice versa. Many puzzles in both games revolve around getting a portrait to give you a necessary object, or bringing a real world object into the portrait to assist its occupants.

iStorm 3.2 Wireless Speakers review

More than two-and-a-half years after the shooting death of 33-year-old James E. Bailey, prosecutors reached a plea agreement with his alleged killer, Jason E. Parr.
Parr quietly answered, "Guilty," to five of seven indicted charges as Judge Karen Conrad read them aloud on Tuesday.
Parr pled guilty to charges of murder, burglary, possession of a handgun by a convicted felon and two counts of wanton endangerment.
As part of the deal, the prosecution waived charges of tampering with physical evidence and being a persistent felon.

Marathon Petroleum Corp Stock Hold Recommendation Reiterated (MPC)
TheStreet) -- Marathon Petroleum (NYSE: MPC) has been reiterated by TheStreet Ratings as a hold with a ratings score of C- . The company's strengths can be seen in multiple areas, such as its solid stock price performance, growth in earnings per share and notable return on equity. However, as a counter to these strengths, we find that the company's profit margins have been poor overall.Editor's Note: TheStreet ratings do not represent the views of TheStreet's staff or its contributors. Ratings are established by computer based on metrics for performance (which includes growth, stock performance, efficiency and valuation) and risk (volatility and solvency). Companies with poor cash flow or high debt levels tend to earn lower ratings in our model. NEW YORK (

- Investors have apparently begun to recognize positive factors similar to those we have mentioned in this report, including earnings growth. This has helped drive up the company's shares by a sharp 82.80% over the past year, a rise that has exceeded that of the S&P 500 Index. Although MPC had significant growth over the past year, our hold rating indicates that we do not recommend additional investment in this stock at the current time.
- MARATHON PETROLEUM CORP has improved earnings per share by 6.3% in the most recent quarter compared to the same quarter a year ago. This year, the market expects an improvement in earnings ($8.10 versus $5.19).
- The current debt-to-equity ratio, 0.32, is low and is below the industry average, implying that there has been successful management of debt levels. Although the company had a strong debt-to-equity ratio, its quick ratio of 0.87 is somewhat weak and could be cause for future problems.
- MPC, with its decline in revenue, slightly underperformed the industry average of 1.2%. Since the same quarter one year prior, revenues slightly dropped by 3.5%. The declining revenue has not hurt the company's bottom line, with increasing earnings per share.
- The gross profit margin for MARATHON PETROLEUM CORP is currently extremely low, coming in at 10.10%. Regardless of MPC's low profit margin, it has managed to increase from the same period last year. Despite the mixed results of the gross profit margin, the net profit margin of 4.30% trails the industry average.

RESIDENTS on the Mount Forest Road near Numeralla were advised to evacuate yesterday in the face of predicted catastrophic fire conditions today (Tuesday).
The large bush fire burning near the Mount Forest Road community has been contained but not controlled and the Monaro Rural Fire Service (RFS) fears it will get away when the predicted strong winds arrive today.
The Bureau of Meterology (BOM) has forecast very high temperatures and high winds gusting up to 80 kilometres an hour today. RFS deputy fire controller Pam O'Brien said 13 homes near the fire, in the Carlaminda locality on Mount Forest Road would be undefendable.
Police started doorknocking yesterday, providing 'relocation advice' to residents and advising them to enact their bush fire survival plans.
Ms O'Brien said an expected wind change would take the fire into the path of the community living along the Mount Forest Road.
"All available resources are at the fire at the moment and it is contained. However, the BOM is predicting catastrophic weather conditions tomorrow (Tuesday) and the RFS cannot guarantee that the fire will remain contained under those conditions, and we cannot guarantee residents' safety if they remain in the area," Ms O'Brien said.
"We are operating on a worst case scenario and houses in the vicinity will be door knocked today (Monday) letting residents know they need to enact their evacuation plans.
"They are being advised to secure their properties and enact their bushfire survival plans and relocate to family or friends.
"Not even the most well prepared properties are defendable under catastrophic conditions," she said.
There is a large multi-agency response with helicopters water bombing the fire.
Over the weekend firefighters battled 13 fires across the Monaro, many started by lightning strikes.
Most of the fires have been controlled, but two fires, the Yarrabin and Brest Fire Trail near Shannons Flat remain a concern.
People have been advised to listen to fire warnings and updates on ABC local radio on 1602 in the Cooma Monaro Shire or 810 for the Jindabyne area, or go to the RFS website on www.rfs.nsw.gov.au.
The RFS said under these conditions there is a total fire ban and all fire permits have been cancelled.

The products you use on a daily basis contribute greatly to the condition of your skin. Some skincare formulas are better than others when it comes to adding moisture and helping to hydrate the skin for longer periods of time. To truly get the benefits of hydrated and healthy skin, consider using a well-rated product line that has proven results, like the Glytone Body collection.
These products help to exfoliate dead and dry skin cells, leaving the skin below fresh and soft. The lotion and moisturizers from Glytone Body lock in moisture, helping to hydrate your skin, especially for those colder months ahead. Even the shaving cream you choose can help add moisture while allowing you to effortlessly remove unwanted facial or body hair. The Glytone Body lineup offers an array of skincare products that treat various parts of the body, including face, legs, heels, elbows, nails, cuticles, and skin in general.
Glytone Body products make it easier to keep your skin soft and radiant, even when the weather and climate won't cooperate. Take the right steps for youthful skin by using effective body wash, lotion, and skincare products on a daily basis or as needed.
Choosing the right products for your skin may at first seem like a challenge based on the sheer number of formulas available today. First consider your body's biggest needs when it comes to dry skin, sensitive skin, or other skincare conditions. Glytone Body offers something for everyone, including women and men.
Glytone Exfoliating Body Wash employs glycolic acid in its process of exfoliating rough and dry skin for a softer, smoother result. This formula also works in an effective treatment regimen for symptoms of Keratosis Pilaris. Simply use this product in place of your normal body wash and enjoy the rich lather it produces. Glytone Exfoliating Body Wash is suitable for all skin types.
Rough, dry skin is no fun. Glytone Ultra Heel and Elbow Cream gets to the root of it with glycolic acid, working to retexturize rough spots and problem areas. This smoothing cream works effectively on calluses and extremely dry areas on your heels and elbows. For best results, simply massage this cream onto dry areas on heels, elbows, and knees, leave it on for 15 – 30 minutes, and rinse with warm water. Some recent reviewers express that they've seen results with as little as one application.
Dermatologists and beauty specialists often recommend using a sun screen product daily, even in the winter. Glytone Body Lotion SPF 15 offers a great way to exfoliate and hydrate skin while also protecting from sun damage, using only one product. Shea butter and glycolic acid team up to leave skin soft and smooth. Glytone Body Lotion SPF 15 also helps to improve your skin's texture and tone.

WASHINGTON, DC (www.incnow.tv) - If you thought we were close to a deal to avoid the fiscal cliff, think again.
There seems to be a snag with House Speaker John Boehner's "Plan B."
In it, Bush-era tax-cuts would be extended to anyone making less than a -million-dollars.
Democrats rejected the plan saying it won't protect the middle-class.
In spite of this, Boehner is expected to call for a vote on the plan as early as Thursday.

After specifying a search period (1 to 8 weeks) and providing vehicle details, we'll begin the search process for you and send you a notification when a matching vehicle arrives in our inventory.
At Lethbridge Toyota, we love selling all makes and models of used cars. A common misconception is that a Toyota dealer only offers great used Toyotas. This couldn't be further from the truth. We carry nearly every make available, from full size Chevrolet, GMC, Ford, and Dodge trucks to a great selection of Honda, Nissan and Volkswagen cars, vans, and SUVs!
Every pre-owned vehicle on our lot has undergone a rigorous inspection by our factory trained technicians. Out of those inspections has grown a huge selection of certified pre-owned trucks and cars, and all of them look great because our Toyota Touch detail technicians give each vehicle special treatment in our detail bays.
Just because you're buying a used vehicle doesn't mean it should feel like one! That's why used car and used truck buyers drive from as far away as Calgary, High River, Medicine Hat and Edmonton to purchase their next fully reconditioned value priced truck or car.

She wants audiences to leave iDENTiTY uplifted
By Dwight Hobbes
Contributing Writer
You don't need to be a dance aficionado, or even be particularly fond of the art form, to understand and appreciate where visionary choreographer-dancer Karen L. Charles is coming from. Artistic director at Threads Dance Project (TDP), she firmly believes in expanding dance beyond the conventional pigeonhole as just a performance vehicle, a venue in which technical proficiency is the priority. For her, although the essentials of technique are fine, cultural, personal and spiritual expression add vital dimensions. "The feedback I get from audience members," Charles reflects, "is that dance speaks to people's spirits." She says of dance in general, "Moments of beauty, those moments of inspiration [are important]. Art is the keeper of the culture, a catalyst of the culture."
You can go to www.threadsdance.org and read her intent to "speak the truths of the human condition through dance and have the audience experience those truths through the dance performance. Continue Reading →

Episode Plot
Just as they were about to leave Nimbasa City, Ash and co. meet with Trip again, who has five badges over Ash's four. Later they meet the Unova Champion Alder, the man who inspired Trip to be a Pokémon trainer when he was a kid, only to see that now many years later, he's a goofy guy. He challenges Ash to a battle and Ash gladly accepts. Who will win this battle? No one, because he accidentally fell asleep during the battle. And what in the world is going on in Alder's head anyway since a wild Gigalith goes out on an all out rampage?
- Ash: What's with the turn around?
(As Bouffalant kept on going to Alder with Head Charge)
- Alder: Come on. Are you mad? Please! Stop being such a CHILD!(after being hit by Head Charge)
- Though Ash has befriended old Champions like Johto's Lance, Hoenn's Steven Stone/Wallace and Sinnoh's Cynthia, this is the first time Ash battled a champ other than his rival Trip's wishes too.
- This is the second time Ash met a character again since Nimbasa Town when they're in Nimbasa City. First was Bianca in BW051: Enter Elesa, Electrifying Gym Leader!, and now he met Trip again.
- This is the third episode in a row when Ash and co. are about to leave Nimbasa City and go to Driftveil City when their travels are interrupted by many events occurred since BW052: Dazzling the Nimbasa Gym! after the battle with Elesa and earns the Bolt Badge as Ash is about to leave when she warned him that the Driftveil Drawbridge is offline for repairs. Also in BW053: Lost at the Stamp Rally! When Ash and co. (minus Cilan) are about to take a tour around Nimbasa City while the drawbridge is fixed.
- This episode shows two larger Pokemons ramming at Alder. Which is Bouffalant and Gigalith.
- Professor Oak's Live Caster: Zebstrika
- Who's That Pokemon?: Bouffalant (Japan), Gigalith (U.S.)
- Trip would hope that Ash will get his Pikachu creamed by Bouffalant but Bouffalant creamed its own trainer: Alder instead.
- Alder should've known better not to speak to Bouffalant while using Head Charge at him. If he doesn't stop talking to it, he'll get hurt.
- Also, he should've known better not to be sleeping in a battle which Bouffalant doesn't like him to do.

|Naruto: Clash of Ninja
|(ナルト-激闘忍者大戦!, Naruto: Gekitō Ninja Taisen!)
|Video game info
|Playable on
|Naruto: Clash of Ninja
|Release Date
|April 11, 2003
|March 7, 2006
Naruto: Clash of Ninja, known in Japan as Naruto: Gekitō Ninja Taisen!, is the first instalment of the Gekitō Ninja Taisen! (Clash of Ninja) series. This was the very first 3-D cel-shaded Naruto game.
The player can select between different game modes such as One Player mode, Two Player Battle mode, Play Against Computer mode, Survival mode, Time Attack mode, Training mode, and Story mode. Like with most fighters, first player to deplete the opposing side's health to zero wins, or the one with the most health left after a time out.
In battle, characters move back and forth via 2D plane fighters, but are also able to sidestep into the foreground and background, via left and right (placement of side of screen is not relevant to change in dodging direction). Because of this, characters can end up facing the wrong way from their opponent at times, leading to exploits in movement. Other movements include running, backdashing (usually done as a back flip), jumping and double jumping. Characters are able to perform weak attacks, strong attacks, throws, and special techniques. Weak Attacks are often quick moves that sport sets of combos, with backward weak attacks being chargeable with guard points during their animations, allowing autoguard. Strong Attacks are often projectile moves and special ninjutsu characters tend to have, and most projectiles that are ninja tools like with autoguard attacks, can be charged up. Most backward Strong Attacks tend to be a teleport, counterattack reversal or a special stance. Characters can press their weak and strong attacks in a neutral position or four directions to access different moves, with some combos branching off of certain attacks (combos available vary for each character).
Running attacks and midair attacks are also available, where most midair weak attacks are often diving attacks. Characters can also block attacks by holding back or standing still, but they can take "chip damage" (small amounts of damage from blocking) if they block weapon attacks. Characters also have a guard gauge that can empty if they block attacks for too long, and once guard crushed can lose a notable amount of chakra.
The chakra gauge at the bottom of the screen fills up via attacking, taking damage or blocking attacks. Once at a certain point, players can press the dodge buttons while getting hit to use the Body Replacement Technique, to either teleport out of harm's way or counter-attack from another direction. This costs some chakra however. If full, characters can perform secret special attacks that use up all chakra. Most of them are cinematic moves that require an initial blow to initiate, such as the Naruto Uzumaki Combo and Lion Combo.
Chakra can also be used to extend most characters' strong attacks, for example, some strong attacks can be weapon attacks, though examples such as Naruto's down strong attack (where he teleports out of sight then uppercuts from underground), Kakashi's down strong attack (Earth Release: Double Suicide Decapitation Technique) and Sasuke's forward strong attack (Fire Release: Great Fireball Technique) can all be held down to extend their duration at the cost of chakra, though they can mainly be performed regardless of chakra amount. Most backward strong attacks that act as reversals can also be held down for chakra cost as well.
The player also can unlock new features such as new characters, stages, and modes by accomplishing certain tasks in the game (i.e. to unlock both Naruto Uzumaki and Kakashi Hatake's alternate forms, the player must first play on story mode to unlock Rock Lee, then beat one player mode with all players twice). The Story mode follows the Introduction Arc and the Land of Waves Arc (to an extent), but the only character playable is Naruto Uzumaki, making the story a little twisted of how it's supposed to be.

The Hillcrest Approach to Green Building
With the increased energy cost and focus on the environment, at Hillcrest Builders we believe our customers have the right to expect an energy efficient home for low operating cost and high future resale value. Therefore, we have invested substantially in our Green knowledge base in order to offer the best Green value and the most extensive expertise to our customers.
2008 Sheboygan County Parade of Homes -
the "GreenBalanced Home™"?
Our most recent Green home is featured in the Sheboygan County Parade of Homes and contains a variety of green options. Certifications include Wisconsin Energy Star, GreenBuilt, and LEED. For more information, visit GreenBalancedHome.com.
The Hillcrest Green Commitment
Our philosophy is that Green is not "all or nothing". Rather, it is a matter of using the best knowledge to choose solutions that are economical as well as ecological. Energy savings is the leading factor for most of our customers, and we focus our Green efforts accordingly. Therefore, as the first builder in our area, we have included the Wisconsin Energy Star Homes certification as standard in our new homes. In addition to the Energy Star certification, Hillcrest is committed to the following Green program guided by our fact-based, value-add philosophy:
Offer as part of our Standard Features a number of Green Initiatives
Offer an extensive list of additional Green Initiatives options
Offer information that helps our customers assess the financial return and environmental benefits of each Green Initiative
Stay at the forefront of new Green Initiatives
Conduct our operations in an efficient, continuously improving manner in terms of energy consumption, construction material
The construction industry uses the term Green loosely, leaving the consumer with poorly organized and often vague information to analyze. In order to best communicate about Green Initiatives with our customers, Hillcrest has simplified the Green groupings used by the LEED's rating system into four categories. Our Green Initiatives Chart, which is updated weekly and lists and rates all the Green Initiatives we offer, is organized by these same categories.
1. Operating Efficiency - Energy Consumption and Emission
Insulation and heating & cooling have large economical and environmental impact and many of these Green Initiatives are true and proven and currently offer a quantifiable and justifiable financial return. Even the Green Initiatives in this category with a lower financial return based on today's cost of fuel may be justifiable as a hedge against future increases in energy costs.
2. Sustainability and Recycling of Construction Materials and Resources
A large amount of R&D is focused on making building products from sustainable or recycled resources and improving processes to reduce the consumption of energy in their production. The result is that the number of products made from renewable and recycled materials is increasing in availability daily. At Hillcrest, we offer a wide variety of Green building products and continue to update our selections of these products.
3. Water Use and Site Sustainability
While sustainable site design is a greater focus in arid environments (i.e. California), concerns about water and erosion are increasing in Wisconsin. Hillcrest's communities are designed for sustainability. In our neighborhoods, we focus on narrower roads, saving asphalt, increasing safety by reducing speed, and allowing more water to re-enter the water table. We also offer extensive solutions in water management and reclamation, another key element in the sustainability category. Depending on the site, we include ground water infiltration systems, and lay out our developments with walking/bicycle path connectors. For the individual home, we offer rainwater and greywater reclamation systems as well as a variety of water saving fixtures and appliances.
4. Wellness of Person and Home - The Indoor Environment
First, ventilation and humidity management has come into focus due to the increased air tightness of new construction homes. Second, by some studies, every fourth person suffers from respiratory problems (i.e. asthma). Much remains to be done in research in this field, but indoor air quality in new homes can be affected by airborne particles. At Hillcrest Builders, we offer a variety of answers, including air changers, air filters, hydronic heat, and carcinogen free carpeting, stains and paints.
This is an area in rapid evolution along with the Green development itself. Beyond Energy Star, which we include as standard, we will recommend the appropriate rating based on each customer's goals. Certifications offer an objective evaluation of the builder's work as well as add to the resale value of the home.
Wisconsin Energy Star Certification
Energy Star is primarily focused on 'Operating Efficiency - Energy Consumption and Emissions'. Energy Star is a pass/fail rating system, leaving the customer with a certificate and test results. Wisconsin Energy Star Homes is managed by Focus on Energy, a Wisconsin umbrella organization coordinating government and industry for Green practices and innovation. On average, Wisconsin Energy Star Homes are 25% less expensive to operate than homes just built to building code standards. Approximately 10,000 homes have been certified by Wisconsin Energy Star Homes so far. We include the Wisconsin Energy Star Homes certification with every new home.
Green Built Homes Certification
In Wisconsin, Green Built is a comprehensive Green rating system which incorporates Energy Star and also includes the areas not covered by Energy Star. Hillcrest Builders offers Green Built certification.
LEED Certification
LEED (Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design) was developed by the US Green Building Council (USGBC), a non-profit organization with over 13,500 member companies from the industry. It is the longest standing comprehensive rating system and is used extensively for commercial buildings. For example, most municipal construction projects now require LEED certification. LEED uses a set of criteria and tests to arrive at the score, and issues certificates at the Certified, Silver, Gold, and Platinum levels. Hillcrest offers LEED certification, but because of the cost of the implementation and certification, we only recommend it for customers committed to an extensive list of Green Initiatives.

this product is not made for motorcycles. The 10 foot long temperature lead with a suction cup is designed to be mounted out side a car and useless on a bike. the volt gauge is off by 0.5 volt and the temp gauge reads high in direct sunlight. the gauge is not water resistant and will be destroyed the first time you wash the bike or get cought in the rain. This product lasted an amazing 9 months before failing completely, despite my efforts to keep it dry. I only regret I can not give this product zero stars.Read All Reviews

The ISP and new media giant claims the deal will allow advertisers to reach some 140m people online by combining its media properties with the Advertising.com network.
It also enables AOL to offer more performance-based advertising online, including paid-for-placement and additional multimedia options.
"The acquisition complements our search business and CPM-based relationships by strengthening our position in the pay-for-performance area of online advertising," said Ted Leonsis, vice-chairman of America Online and president of AOL's core service.
He added: "Advertising.com brings a new dimension to our advertising offerings, enabling us to more fully participate in the growth of performance-based advertising."
Advertising.com will have the funds for further growth as a result of the deal, according to Will Becker, managing director Europe at Advertising.com.
"It gives us the chance to increase our rate of growth and part of that will be access to capital. The AOL presence can help us enter new markets too."
He added: "Our focus for growth in search and affiliate marketing will continue."
Advertising.com will remain a separate brand and company while being an AOL subsidiary.
Aside from its network, Advertising.com offers ad delivery and optimisation tools.
The UK is the largest market in its European network and the company employs 55 staff in its London HQ. In 2003, Advertising.com reported a rise of almost 80 per cent in worldwide revenues, to $132m (£72.2m).
"Online advertising is showing very strong growth, and (this) acquisition underscores AOL's determination to strengthen its competitive position," said Jonathan Miller, chairman and CEO, America Online.
"Advertising.com has built a profitable, scalable and highly attractive business. This is a strategic move that will bolster AOL's advertising business."

I would guess around 50 houses.
So I was just offered a little village in an RPG to rule myself, and of course my first act as Sovereign will be a map But a simple question is in my way: How many buildings? Usually I just draw as many as I see fit, but this time I know the village has roughly 400 inhabitants. Some if not most will be peasants, but there are also some craftsmen, two shrines, a creek and probably one or two wealthier households (traders or something).
What's your guess- how many buildings should I draw? How many people live in a peasant's or craftsman's house?
Now that the warm fuzzy part is over we can get back to the ritual dismemberments. Oh wait, it's not Tuesday is it?
I would guess around 50 houses.
My finished maps
Mapping Worlds (My blog about mapping)
Imaginary maps (My facbook page devoted to mapping)
Is that just adults or total population?
If the radiance of a thousand suns was to burst at once into the sky, that would be like the splendor of the Mighty One...I am become Death, the Shatterer of worlds.
-J. Robert Oppenheimer (father of the atom bomb) alluding to The Bhagavad Gita (Chapter 11, Verse 32)
My Maps ~ My Brushes ~ My Tutorials ~ My Challenge Maps
Not quite sure, but I guess it's total population. It may not be exactly 400 but maybe 380 oder 450, I cannot know for sure. The only source I have says it's "a village of roughly 400 peasants". Maybe I just divide 400 by 6 or something like it, should equal about 60 homes or so. Seems quite realistic to me considering that peasant households might be bigger while craftsmen might only live together with their wive or so.
Now that the warm fuzzy part is over we can get back to the ritual dismemberments. Oh wait, it's not Tuesday is it?
Somewhere between 70-100, more towards 70 is my guess.
Well here's the thing, a while back I was planning on doing a town map and was trying to gather information on roughly what the buildings to population ratio would have been for the medieval period. Mind you, I didn't spend hours in the library researching academic sources (though, oddly, my inquiries did lead me to read portions of an old dissertation from the 50's), but in the few hours that I did devote to this research the best resource that I could come up with was the A Magical Medieval City Guide. This guide suggests that this ratio is approximately 1:2 (1 building per two adults). So if those figures are right (and I have no idea if they are or not), then you'd be looking at 100-200 buildings, depending on whether or not that 400 estimate includes the entire populace or merely its adults.
As an aside, I highly recommend this supplement. There is also a pretty nifty online City Generator that CyrstalBallSoft designed based on this supplement. Hope that helps.
Usually (and when building my world anyway), I stick to an average figure of a family of five per residence (mom, dad, 2-3 children, and maybe a grandparent or other relative living there). It seems reasonable and falls fairly inline with the numbers that come out of the domesday book. And I can easily slide it up and down for differing cultural attitudes to communal living or other regional differences.
also depends on culture and technical advancement... there are plenty of cultures that had villages with 3-4 big houses that each kept up to 50 people (a couple of complete families)

I agree to that what Djekspek said.
Also you have think about the other aspects. The stage of your culture - for example in medievel times you had a population distribution in form of a pyramid - very less old people many young..
