How to improve your life's success, by raising your personal energy
….written by Beverly Russell
Do you want to improve your lifes success? Would you like happiness, joy, and love? Raising the vibration of your personal energy to match is all you need to do.
Everything is energy, and it vibrates at different levels. Sadness and anger are very low energy, like the vibrations on a bass drum, but the vibrations of joy and happiness are much like the high sound of a viola. When you allow yourself to keep a low vibration in your soul, you slow or completely stop the joy from flowing in. It is virtually impossible to feel anger and joy at the same time. The Universe is always matching whatever energy you put out, so if you want joy, be joyful.
Everything is an energetic vibration.
• We all create and send out our personal vibration of energy. We do this with and without thinking about it consciously.
• We receive energy vibrations that match what we send out.
• If our thoughts are positive, we can open ourselves up to receive positive energy from the Universe. If they are negative, we receive back an exact vibrational match to what we are sending out.
• When we focus on negative thoughts, we make it difficult for the Universe to give us happiness, but when we focus on positive thoughts, we are open to the flow of positive things in our life.
• When we focus on creating our own bubble of positive energy that is love based, the Universe creates an energy vibration to match and what we send out will come back to us tenfold.
How to begin creating that positive flow.
• Use the rule of "guilty by association" when choosing your friend circle. If you create a joyful circle of friends your energy rises to match them and brings more joy into your life. If you surround yourself with negative people, you will attract negative energy.
• Get rid of the toxic food entering your body. Eliminate non-organic foods to reduce the amount of toxic energy you put in.
• Cleanse your spirit with meditation and yoga to enhance the flow of energy going out and coming in. You will be able to connect with your higher self and therefore be more efficient at manifesting your success.
Always read and reread success quotes!
If you can perceive it, you can build it!
• Every day, take a few minutes to close your eyes and visualize what you want to attract into your life. See your success in your mind's eye and hold on to that feeling. When your energy matches your dream, it creates the flow to bring your success to you.
• Create a picture of sitting down at your table with friends and family, eating a clean, healthful meal. As you laugh with your circle of friends, your body feels energized with positive foods and positive energy. Imagine how healthy your body, mind, and spirit become.
Using positive affirmations and success qoutes for raising your energy vibration:
• Print these out to place around your house, as reminders, if you want.
• Read them every day, in the morning and at night before bed, to remind you were to focus your energy.
- I will read success quotes daily
- I no longer pay attention to negative thoughts, events, or people.
- I will keep success quotes in key places to ensure that i read them multiple times daily.
- I eat only foods that are free of toxins, and allow only fluids of pure ingredients to flow into my body.
- I have a beautiful life, full of positive energy, flooding my life with income to match my needs.
- I have positive support surrounding my life.
- I can feel the joy all around me, wherever I go, and share my joy with everyone I come into contact with throughout my day.
- I see that all of my small successes add to my large ones and that the goal is to achieve success in whatever I do.
Success can be yours!…..click to learn more
Our world can push negativity into our vision, but it is up to you if you give that kind of energy attention or not. In order to succeed, practice success, and over time you it will become a habit to create the higher vibrations to successfully achieve your happiness!

Not greatI used this because I smile for a living at at 20 have started getting little wrinkles all over. I was hoping this would make things a little smoother, but it did nothing for that.

Started out excited but ended disappointedI am in my 30's and was looking for a reasonably priced moisturizer that would give me an extra lift for tired skin around the eyes and mouth. When I first used this product, I had high hopes. I did initially feel a bit firmer, particularly around the lips and I loved the smell of the product.

I started to get small whiteheads that just won't go away. This product, along with the serum seemed to leave an oily residue as well.

Just OK.I like the dispenser - very convenient! And, of course, the color of the bottle (I love this green color in all of the Garnier products).

Ray and Sandy Cook of Mission Viejo settled onto a bench outside the Repertory East Playhouse in Newhall to people-watch.
They had plenty of passersby to scan as they sat only about 100 feet from the starting point of the Amgen Tour of California's Stage 6 start Friday in Newhall.
On that bench they met Dennis Bansmer of Canyon Country, who unlike the couple isn't a cyclist. But the trio shared a love of the sport and an excitement to be at a race that featured some of the world's best cyclists.
"(For Newhall) to host something like this is huge," said Bansmer, who took the day off work to attend.
The Cooks have followed the Tour de France-style cycling road race around California all nine years of its existence. So they've already been to Santa Clarita, which hosted parts of the race in 2007, 2008, 2009, 2011 and 2013.
Hundreds of people joined the Cooks on downtown Newhall's Main Street, which was blocked off to traffic for the 11:35 a.m. start.
Tour of California cyclists' RVs and cars began to line the street as race time neared, allowing attendees a close look at racers and their bikes. Multiple fans agreed the riders are more accessible at the start of stages than at their end.
For two such fans, Mike Gurley and his son Griffin, the tour was an opportunity to celebrate Griffin's recent graduation from Texas A&M University. The two drove from Dallas, Texas, and started following the tour in Cambria, where Stage 4 finished Wednesday.
As the 11:35 a.m. sendoff neared, crowds began to congregate around a large blue arch that stood near a stage on the south end of Main Street.
Commentators paced the stage, talking race strategy and interviewing racers over the PA system.
About 11:20 a.m., the more than 100 competing cyclists moved to the starting line, with an announcer identifying some of the more prominent. One such star was Bradley Wiggins, whom the announcer referred to as the Michael Phelps of England.
The Signal's own Alesia Humphries sang the national anthem, and with the crack of a starting pistol the bikers were off toward the Newhall roundabout and the 94.4-mile route ending at Mountain High.
Minutes later the crowd dispersed. The Cooks headed off to Mountain High for the finish. But for others race day, and the accompanying battle with high temperatures, was over.
"It has been hard," Sandy Cook said of the heat — temperatures were in the high 90s by noon. "I don't know how riders ... do it."
The shaded patio at El Trocadero Mesquite Steakhouse and Cantina on Main Street proved irresistible to some. Raul Bojorquez, the restaurant's owner, Friday's lunch crowd had the restaurant staff busier than normal.
Bojorquez's request to anyone who would listen: "Bring more events to Newhall."
Other businesses along Main Street, like Brake Masters, continued operating during the race festivities by way of access to an ally off Lyons Avenue.
The Tour of California Stage 7 starts from Westfield Valencia Town Center at 11:40 a.m. Saturday and ends in Pasadena. The 2014 race concludes Sunday in Thousand Oaks.

T-Mobile secretly working on Apple App Store counterpart for 31.5 million subscribers
Not one to be left out of the innovation train in today's wireless industry, T-Mobile USA is said to be carrying out covert operations for an Apple App Store toppling service. Rumor has it that they are cooking up plans for a more "open" approach to mobile phone applications.
Though T-Mobile USA hasn't issued any such statement confirming that they will indeed launch an Apple App Store counterpart for phones under their network in the future, a recent comment made in the name of the telco leaves us all the clues we need.
"T-Mobile is working with the industry to foster an open wireless services platform which will provide developers with the tools and information they need to make new, innovative experiences available to T-Mobile's more than 31.5 million customers. The devPartner Community site, which is in its alpha stage, is just a taste of what T-Mobile has in store and we encourage you to stay tuned for more details in the coming weeks."
Compared to Apple's target of 10 million iPhone 3G users by the year's end, T-Mobile's 31.5 million subscriber base takes home the cake.
The only question, of course, is whether they will really be able to perform such a feat. Something that lets mobile app developers do their thing most conveniently, and in which they will be very happy to share revenues with the telco. Well, it's too early to judge now, but this should be very interesting to see unfold.

I attended a workshop on Tourette's a couple of years ago (I'm a Special Education teacher), and learned that there is a significant overlap between individuals with Asperger's and Tourette's -- that is, it's not uncommon for a person to have both.
Good luck to James, and I hope he can resist the impulse to scream in every song. That's why people eventually got tired of Siobhan last year.

MELBOURNE, Australia - Cara Black and Sania Mirza have a brief history as a duo, but it continued to be a successful one with a straight set defeat of Eugenie Bouchard and Vera Dushevina at the Australian Open on Monday to book a quarterfinal spot in their Grand Slam debut.
Black and Mirza both have been longtime WTA doubles stars, but had never paired up until last September in Tokyo. They captured that title and then cruised to another one the very next week in Beijing. Thought they kicked off 2014 by dropping their opener in Sydney, they have returned to their 2013 form in Melbourne.
The sixth-seeded Black and Mirza were 64 63 winners over Bouchard and Dushevina and have yet to drop a set this fortnight. In fact, their 18 games surrendered is least of the quarterfinalists.
Next up for Black and Mirza are No.1 seeds and defending champions Sara Errani and Roberta Vinci, whom they beat in their only previous meeting in the semifinals of Beijing.
Also yet to drop a set in their Grand Slam debut are seventh-seeded Czechs Andrea Hlavackova and Lucie Safarova, who were 64 63 victors over Madison Keys and Alison Riske.
Hlavackova and Safarova have a quarterfinal date set with No.3 seeds Ekaterina Makarova and Elena Vesnina. The Russians got past No.15 seeds Daniela Hantuchova and Lisa Raymond, 64 67(5) 62, to improve to 26-6 in Grand Slam play while securing their 60th win as a duo.
Also moving on were eighth-seeded Raquel Kops-Jones and Abigail Spears, who edged Alizé Cornet and Caroline Garcia, 46 64 64. The Americans' opponents in Tuesday's quarterfinals will be Shahar Peer and Sílvia Soler-Espinosa.
No.2 seeds Katarina Srebotnik and Rohan Bopanna, No.5 seeds Anabel Medina Garrigues and Bruno Soares, No.6 seeds Mirza and Horia Tecau and Hantuchova and Leander Paes were among those advancing to the mixed doubles quarterfinals.

This script is run nightly to collect information from the gather files written by gather.cgi. The data file used by the CGI is then updated.
#!/usr/local/bin/perl5 use strict; use File::stat; use lib '/www/lib', '/usr/local/www/lib'; require 'lockfile.pl'; my $blib = $0; $blib =~ s{[^/]*$}{browserlib.pl}; require $blib; sub addto ($$);
As with the CGI script, we use our own browser library to figure out what browser and operating system the client is using. We also use the lockfile library to make sure we don't interfere with a CGI script when reading the data file.
my $datafile = '/www/world/webinfo/case/gather/gather.data'; my (%browsers, %platforms) = (); foreach my $file (glob "/gather/*/www/webinfo_case_gather") { next unless lockfile ($file);
After defining where the data file is, we start looking at all the files in
the different gather directories. Note the path in gather.cgi was
We only work with files for which we can get a lock.
my $stamp = "$file.READ"; if (-f $stamp) { my $fst = stat $file; my $sst = stat $stamp; unlockfile ($file), next if $fst->mtime < $sst->mtime; }
This is where we decide whether the file needs to be read. The gather.cgi script will make sure that the gather file is emptied out if this batch script has read the contents. Every time this batch process reads a gather file, it creates a timestamp file, so the first thing we do is test whether the timestamp file exists. If it doesn't, then we know we've never read the file. However, if the timestamp does exist and is more recent than the gather file, we know that we've read the contents more recently than it has been written; in this case we do not need to read the file and we go to the next. We need to be sure to unlock the file, however.
if (open F, "<$file") { while (<F>) { chomp; my ($b, $p) = whatbrowser ($_); ++$browsers{$b}; ++$platforms{$p}; } close F;
Now we're ready to read the file. The contents are browser User-Agent strings,
one per line. We read each line, and use our library file to break the string
into individual browser and platform pairs, keeping a running total.
# # Signal the file has been read # open F, ">$stamp"; close F; } unlockfile ($file); }
After reading the file, be sure to update our timestamp and then release the lock.
The data file consists of 18 lines:
The format of each line is
entry 1 | count | entry 2 | count | entry 3 | count
For example, a line could contain:
Netscape Navigator|3|Internet Explorer|5
The data file is not very robust, since things can easily get out of sync if the file is corrupted. However, it is sufficient for the purposes of this example.
if (open F, "<$datafile") { my $ab = <F>; chomp $ab; my $ap = <F>; chomp $ap; my @wba = (); $_ = <F>; # We don't need these weekly summaries; $_ = <F>; while (<F>) { chomp; push @wba, $_; } close F;
The first thing to do is read in the data so we can manipulate it. The first 2 lines are saved as strings, since we will manipulate them later. The next two strings are discarded, since they are weekly counts which we need to recompute anyway. Finally, we create an array which contains all the remaining lines.
my $len = int 0.5 * scalar @wba; my @wpa = splice @wba, $len; if ($len > 6) { splice @wba, 6; splice @wpa, 6; }
As noted above, the daily counts consist of all the browser counts followed by all the platform counts. However, it's not guaranteed that this will consist of 14 lines, since the first few days that the batch script runs, there will be fewer than the full 7 days' worth of counts. Therefore, we compute half the length of the array with daily counts, and then split it into two parts. After that, we keep only the first 6 entries, since we no longer need the 7th entry.
$ab = addto ($ab, \%browsers); $ap = addto ($ap, \%platforms);
addto function takes a count string and a hash array of entry/count
pairs. Not coincidentally, the count string is the same format as in the data
file, and the entry/count hash is the same as we generated when we read in the
gather files. The
addto function then returns a new count string.
This pair of lines, therefore, computes a new grand total.
unshift @wba, addto (undef, \%browsers); unshift @wpa, addto (undef, \%platforms);
With these lines, we create new count strings for the day's totals. Since we
pass in an empty string, the result of the
addto function is the
contents of the hash which we pass. We then prepend that string to the appropriate
array for the weekly totals. After these two lines, we have two arrays, one
with up to seven entries containing count strings for the past days' browser
counts, and the other for platform counts.
%browsers = (); my $wb; foreach my $item (@wba) { $wb = addto ($item, \%browsers); %browsers = split /\|/, $wb; }
Now that we know that the
@wba array contains the count strings
for the previous week, we reset our browser hash array to be empty. Then, for
each of the count strings, we create a new string which is the sum of the current
count string and our hash array. Once that's done, we update the hash array
with the values of the new count string.
%platforms = (); my $wp; foreach my $item (@wpa) { $wp = addto ($item, \%platforms); %platforms = split /\|/, $wp; }
The same process is used to count the past week's data for the platform strings.
if (open F, ">$datafile") { print F join "\n", $ab, $ap, $wb, $wp, @wba, @wpa; close F; } }
Once we've added everything together, we create a new data file. Note we do not lock this file, since we are never writing to a live web server due to the architecture of the www.washington.edu cluster.
sub addto ($$) { my ($vals, $new) = @_; my %valarr = split /\|/, $vals;
When this function is called, it is passed a count string and a reference to
a hash array. The first thing we do is create a new hash array which is the
equivalent of the count string.
foreach my $key (keys %$new) { $valarr{$key} += $new->{$key}; }
Next, we iterate over all key and value pairs for the passed hash array and
add them to our new array.
my @newvals = (); foreach my $key (keys %valarr) { push @newvals, $key, $valarr{$key}; } join '|', @newvals; }
Once everything is added up, we can create a new count string to return.

NEIL LENNON, the Celtic manager, last night admitted his frustration at Rangers' persistence in involving the Parkhead club in matters which don't concern them.
Charles Green, the Ibrox chief executive, has frequently mentioned Celtic when delivering an almost daily barrage of statements. Most recently, the Yorkshireman projected that Celtic's season ticket sales could suffer next term because their supporters now know for certain there will be no Old Firm fixtures. Green also claimed Celtic's average home attendance in the last eight games had been lower than Rangers' as he sought to make a case for his club being an attractive addition to leagues in England.

In light of the proposed restructuring of the Scottish Premier League and Scottish Football League, Green again mentioned Celtic late last week when suggesting his club should not complete their fixtures, should take Uefa to court citing sex discrimination and play in another country.
Rangers are not even on Celtic's radar, according to Lennon, who will now refuse to answer any more questions about the Ibrox club. He has had enough of what he perceives to be a continuous tactic by Green to use Celtic's name to illustrate his points. "He's entitled to his opinion, but they keep bringing us into their problems," said Lennon. "We probably have to take that as a back-handed compliment."
On Green's line regarding Rangers quitting Scotland, Lennon said: "I understand where he is coming from. I'm not too sure whether he was adamant in saying 'We need to go now', or whatever it is. Whether that's good for the game, I don't know. Whether that's good for them, I don't know. We seem to keep getting brought into it, whether they are having a little nip at us or not. Again, I take it as a back-handed compliment because they are looking up at us.
"But, from here on in, I'm not going to answer any more questions on Rangers because they are not on our radar, unless we play them in a cup competition, then I'll be quite happy to answer questions on the football aspect of things. As regards all this stuff off the field, I have no comment to make whatsoever."
"We are six months down the line from Rangers playing in the third division, and I'm still answering questions on them. I don't want to answer any more questions on them. I have enough on my plate.
"We have an important half of the season to look forward to, and I can't dwell on what's gone on in the past and I can't dwell on what is going on in the third division."
Of more immediate concern to Lennon is the pursuit of Tom Rogic, the Central Coast Mariners midfielder who is on trial with the Celtic squad at their winter training camp in Marbella.
Andy Bernal, the player's agent, revealed yesterday that Queens Park Rangers have entered the race to sign the 20-year-old and are reported to have submitted an offer of £460,000 to Mariners.
"I can confirm Celtic want to take him back to Glasgow this week and that there is also interest from other clubs, with QPR among them," said Bernal.
With left-sided defender Rami Gershon already signed up and Nigerian left-back Juwon Oshinawi confirmed as another target, the potential addition of Rogic to the Celtic first-team pool has been welcomed by Adam Matthews.
"The competition for places is going to be stiffer, and that can only help us," said the defender. "You know if you are not playing well you'll be out of the team. This should help make sure everyone's 100% focused on what they need to do."
Celtic, meanwhile, are preparing to invite another A-League player for a trial in Glasgow.
Marco Rojas, Melbourne Victory's 21-year-old winger, who is of Chilean descent but plays for New Zealand, has been recommended to Lennon who is keen to have a closer look at him.

Buyers of wholesale electricity and natural gas on UK trading platforms are advised to be on high alert for instances of "missing trader" fraud over coming months, ahead of a new measure that will switch VAT charges from energy suppliers to purchasers.
The issue of fraud in the UK markets has been subject to increased focus recently following reports that HM Revenue & Customs (HMRC) has allegedly detected VAT losses arising from missing trader intra-community (MTIC) fraud in the wholesale gas and power markets.
A note published by audit and tax specialists Deloitte last month claimed that HMRC has launched an investigation after registering the tax losses.
And the threat of fraud in the UK gas and power markets appears to have reached new levels, following HMRC's decision to change the procedure on VAT charges in last month's budget, targeted at tackling fraud.
Helen Thompson, partner at Deloitte in indirect taxes, said HMRC's decision to reverse the charges and place the liability for VAT payment with the purchaser rather than the supplier indicates an admission that there is an imminent threat to market participants from fraud.
"The market should be on high alert as the budget announcement is a warning that the threat is real," Thompson said.
The reversal of VAT charges will take effect following an informal consultation with the industry to determine a convenient date for its introduction, taking account of logistical issues.
Sources suggest the change could come into force as early as July, although HMRC has refused to put a time-frame on it. "Once a statutory instrument has been agreed, HMRC will publish a copy with details of when it will come into effect," a spokesman said on Thursday.
The potential for fraud on energy markets has been a live issue for several years. Europol, the European law enforcement agency, investigated the possibility of fraud on the carbon market in 2010 while the Council of European Energy Regulators (CEER) has been actively engaged in attempts to prevent fraud from infiltrating the markets ( see EDEM 11 October 2011 ).
Although the advent of new processes and increased resources means companies are better equipped to counter fraud than a few years back, Don Mavin, partner at tax specialists Mavin and Co., emphasises that fraudsters have also refined and sharpened their methods over time.
"Since the instance of mobile telecoms fraud offshore, it was expected that the fraudsters would ease themselves gently into the gas and power sectors.
"The method developed has been to take little and often, rather than extract amounts that are glaringly obvious. They remain below radar to give the impression of an established and authentic business."
VAT recovery
Although it could be tempting for traders to adopt the attitude that it is only the perpetrators of fraud that will be penalised, experts warn that HMRC's approach is toughening towards attributing responsibility to counterparties at the wrong end of fraud.
"What we've seen recently is that HMRC is taking the line that 'you should have realised it's too good to be true'," said Mavin, adding that the existence of MTIC fraud for over 15 years means traders no longer have an excuse to plead ignorance to the signs of fraud.
Mavin argues a precedent set by the Kittel principle intervention case from European law means the division between an active knowledge of fraud, and a constructive knowledge of fraud in which a participant should have known of the risks, has eroded.
Both Thompson and Mavin agree that HMRC will pursue all avenues to recoup undeclared tax where possible and often this means targeting the purchaser.
"It's still a loss to HMRC because the VAT disappears. Customs goes after anyone else in the supply chain, the soft target, whether they've bought from or sold to the missing trader," Mavin said.
And according to Thompson, companies should not look to HMRC to provide a black and white prospectus detailing instances where they would or would not be liable to repay the VAT and additional penalties.
"HMRC has deliberately not published a checklist as this implies a guarantee on the issue. They have shied away from it as they want to keep people alert and using their judgement," Thompson said.
Penalties for companies caught interacting with MTIC fraudsters extend beyond the simple repayment of VAT to HMRC, with guilty parties subject to additional fines ranging from 30% of the total VAT cost in cases of careless behaviour, to 70% in cases of deliberate activity to evade detection by tax authorities.
Penalties can be mitigated significantly depending on the behaviour of companies in breach of rules, with HMRC looking favourably upon the voluntary submission of information compared to cases where it detects evidence of malpractice.
"Our experience is that many boards of large companies do not want to litigate on this matter. Therefore co-operating with HMRC should stand the company in the best position to reduce the financial impact of penalties," said Thompson.
Both Thompson and Mavin say the horizon in the battle to tackle fraud in the energy markets looks brighter, because the reversal of VAT charges will help to remove the attraction of committing fraud from the supply chain.
But Mavin sounds a note of warning to those at risk of letting their guard slip. "Where there is a sizeable volume and value of transactions and the possibility of VAT gain exists, it is guaranteed that someone will try to exploit it." Henry Evans
What is MTIC fraud?
MTIC occurs when one counterparty buys a commodity from a country in which VAT charges do not apply and resells it to a customer domestically with VAT charges included but without notifying tax authorities
Situations where participants should be wary of MTIC fraud:
New entrants to the market
Unusual trading patterns by counterparties such as sharp increases in trading activity
Unusual requests made by one counterparty such as a request for the purchaser to sell on to another counterparty under the guarantee that they will receive a certain price for the commodity. "We have seen traders talk to one another in those terms," says Thompson
Recommended procedures to counter potential MTIC:
Checks should be made on new entrants to the market but existing counterparties should also be monitored at regular intervals
Questioning the commercial reasons behind trades with the help of tax and risk advisers
Trader education to detect signs of MTIC
Data analytics that allow companies to monitor transactions after they occur

Deception III: Dark Delusion
Review by bungleinthjungle
"Heaping amounts of originality, with some minor flaws that bog the overall experience down...still, worth owning."
Tecmo's Deception was one of the first-generation Playstation titles -- and boy, could you ever tell, especially in retrospective. In my opinion, the game just didn't age well at all. However, with Deception III we manage to lose that dated and somewhat hoaky appeal that was slathered all over the first installment. Deception III has extremely high production values, beautiful graphics and a fair amount of gore and sadism. On top of that, the original gameplay of the first is not only still intact, but is better than ever.
For anyone who has never played a Deception game before, it's like this : you strategically place traps to take out people who are after you. Pendulums and bear traps, amongst a huge list of other things, are you're weaponry, and you must lure your predators into them successfully. There is no direct combat in this game.
If strategy is your cup of tea (it really isn't mine, usually) then you will absolutely LOVE this game. And hey, even if you really aren't much into strategy titles, then still give it a shot -- you might just find out that you really enjoy luring people to their deaths in numerous different ways.
The biggest thing that Deception III has going for it is definitely replay value -- since you can set traps anyway you want, you'll have infinite combinations to keep you busy. On top of that, there is a points system that rewards the really brilliant players out there. Earning points gets you more traps.
The biggest flaw with this game is definitely in the shoddy translation -- typos are scattered throughout the dialogue, and some of what the characters say just doesn't make any sense at all. On top of that, the story is a bit confusing and somewhat cheesy -- but it's not all bad, and it's worth sitting through, if for no other reason than to fuel your hatred towards the people who you will be taking out with all of those nifty traps.
There's a lot to be said about this game, but really I think it all boils down to one main point : if you love watching polygonal characters die in big deep-red pools of blood, then you will absolutely adore this title. There is definitely no other games out there like Deception III.
1) extremely original gameplay
2) this installment doesn't feel as hokey and dated as the first
3) lots of blood
4) tons and tons of replay
1) music was rather "blah"
2) horrible translation and tons of typos
3) can get a little hard/frustrating in some parts
Reviewer's Rating: 3.5 - Good

I'd love to hire more people. We seem to be sucking air on locating qualified applicants, however. Believe me, we're trying. We ran a want ad in the local newspaper last week. We have received a total of ONE resume.
If Brad can't find the work force, I think maybe it's time Brad offers "bullet casting internship" program to local high schools and colleges to "grow" his own workforce. Imagine doing a presentation to a group of high school seniors/college students ...
Make your hobby your job and get a great workout as a fringe benefit of employment (Can you say "resistance workout"?).
Learn metallurgy and see it in action. Employee discount on bullets and free use of company range. Any takers?
<this is where Brad hands out applications for internship with waivers>
Just a thought to expand his potential employment options.
By the time they complete the internship, Brad would have candidates already competent in all phases of production and he gets "pick of the litter".

text: Some of MACHINE HEAD's U.S.-based fans have been wondering why the San Francisco Bay Area metal band has not yet announced a U.S. headlining tour in support of "The Blackening" — despite the fact that the album is now two and a half years old.In a posting on MACHINE HEAD's official message board, the band's guitarist Phil Demmel addressed the fans' concerns, blaming the lack of a headlining U.S. trek squarely on a timing issue. He writes: "'Blackening' Europe U.K. shows: 117; 'Blackening' U.S./Canada shows: 155. "I was wondering which support slot we should've turned down to go out and headline? LAMB OF GOD? HEAVEN & HELL? HELLYEAH? The [Rockstar Energy Drink] Mayhem fest? METALLICA? SLAYER/MEGADETH? "Any suggestions? "We tried putting something together [around the time of the HELLYEAH tour] but could find NO bands to take out. [The HELLYEAH tour] was amazing for us in reaching new markets and fans and set us up for returning and headlining. "Timing is a huge factor in picking tours. I feel bad for the U.S. but everything we're doing is setting up what comes next. We ONLY headlined up until this record and when it came out the biggest names in metal wanted us out with them. FINALLY. If we don't take support slots we're confining ourselves to playing the SAME clubs and theatres forever. "Yeah, the setlist was pretty similar for a lot of the runs in the U.S. We had to put together songs that would be best for people who'd never seen us before. We've been better and cognizant about mixing it up this past year. That will continue. "I understand the frustration. We haven't 'forgotten' about North America. We've just been made offers that we (or ANY metal band) couldn't/wouldn't refuse. Europe/U.K. is simply more crazy for this band. In a sense, the U.S. has been the priority, raising our profile and reaching new fans via support slots was the vehicle to do this. "We've been killing ourselves (almost literally) out on the road just so we can still be a band. Things are done for a reason. We've always been one of the most fan-friendliest metal bands out there and always will be." Since the release of "The Blackening" in March of 2007, MACHINE HEAD has toured incessantly, playing more than 300 shows in support of the Grammy-nominated album. And while this three-year-long album cycle has seen MACHINE HEAD share U.S. and European stages as main support to METALLICA, SLIPKNOT, SLAYER, MARILYN MANSON and MEGADETH, headline the Jägermeister stage on the Rockstar Energy Mayhem Festival, and headline the legendary Wacken Open Air festival to over 85,000 people, it hasn't seen them on a full-fledged headline tour, playing full-length sets. Until now. Starting January 23, 2010, "The Black Procession" will tear through Europe, alongside brethren in heaviness HATEBREED, BLEEDING THROUGH, and ALL SHALL PERISH, for what promises to be night-after-night of unbridled power! MACHINE HEAD singer/guitarist Robb Flynn says, "After three years of touring we are beyond stoked to finish this tour cycle on our own terms, with our show, our stage, our production, our control, and we're lucky enough to bring three of our favorite bands along with us, it's going to be fucking massive!!!" MACHINE HEAD have also decided to do things a little differently for the fans this time around and will be playing two or more intimate shows in 3,000-4,000-seat venues instead of the massive arena shows fans have grown accustomed to. Bassist Adam Duce adds, "Having done arenas now since 'The Black Crusade' as well as the METALLICA and SLIPKNOT tours, we thought it would be killer to give the fans a chance to have a couple different setlists, and mix things up a bit. It's gonna be fun for us to see which gems we dig up!!!" "The Black Procession" will mark the end of the touring cycle for "The Blackening", making it the ABSOLUTE last chance you'll have to catch MACHINE HEAD live before they hunker down to write their next album! So grab your tickets early, because you KNOW you don't want to miss this show! Professionally filmed video footage of MACHINE HEAD performing the song "Halo" on August 2 at the Sonisphere festival at the legendary Knebworth Park, United Kingdom can be viewed below.

We are more than halfway through our Multiply NYC emphasis, and it is going great.
I am enjoying working with college students. They really motivate me, and it's so awesome to see them serve the Lord every single day. They have so much energy.
We have 15 interns working in 13 ministries around New York City. One of them, Jessie Mendoza, is working at Iglesia Bautista La Palabra. He and I have been working with the youth and have also been discipling people in home Bible studies.
Recently, we went with about 20 volunteers from La Palabra to Easton, Maryland, to help Easton's First Baptist Church with Vacation Bible School. We were there three days, and it was very helpful, because we are taking the same VBS theme to our church. We learned from them, and it will help us organize and be prepared for our VBS.
Every Thursday, we schedule development days, when we invite church planters, missionaries and pastors from all over New York City to train and equip our interns. Our first week, we went to Staten Island to visit Pastor Ray Parascando, who told us about his church and the needs in his community.
Our second week, we visited Boto Joseph, a missionary in Jackson Heights also known as Little India. We took a walk around the neighborhood. Boto explained to us about what Hindus believe in and how we can present the gospel to them.
During our third week, while Jessie and I were in Maryland helping with VBS, our interns visited church planter Jamie Rogers in Long Island. Rogers told them about what God is doing in his church and his community. That same day, our interns had a Bible study together. They really want to grow in biblical community and counsel one another.
Most recently, we spent time with Pastor Tom Richter from New Hope Christian Church in Jamaica, Queens. He presented a great message based on Matthew 11:28-30 and talked to us about the importance of prayer and community with Jesus. We also had about 60 students from Generation Send, an internship from the North American Mission Board. Our interns and Generation Send interns got to meet and know each other, and we will be joining them in a couple of weeks during their training.
Please pray for our interns, that they can keep the same energy in their ministries.
Leilani Estrada, a graduate of the University of Texas Pan-Am, serves in New York as a Go Now missionary with Metropolitan New York Baptist Association.

Thompson's Station will celebrate the 150th Anniversary of the Battle of Thompson's Station Saturday.
The battleground of the historic Homestead Manor will be transformed to 1863, with more than a 100 re-enactors, artillery demonstrations, food and crafts vendors.
Organizers told Nashville's News 2 they have been planning the event for nearly a year and are expecting thousands of people.
"Rarely do you get to have an event on the battlefield. It's typically adjacent or near by, but this is on the actual battlefield which is pretty cool," event co-chair Dr. Monty McInturff said.
The living history day is put on by the Thompson's station economic development committee.
There is a suggested minimum donation of $1 per adult. All donations will support the historic preservation efforts in the community.

Jerusalem (Dec. 12)
A license to prospect for rock phosphate and bituminous limestone over a large area in the neighborhood of the Dead Sea was granted today to Moses Novomejsky, one of the two owners of the concession for the development of the mineral salts in the Dead Sea. Both minerals are said to be plentiful in this region and are considered to be among Palestine's most valuable mineral deposits. They are not included in the actual Dead Sea concession which is outside the terms of the mining ordinance.
While the Dead Sea concessionaires have development rights only for minerals actually in the sea, Mr. Novomejsky is now prospecting the area around the Dead Sea with a view to obtaining another concession.

The transcript follows.
Archive: Post Politics Hour discussion transcripts
Chris Cillizza: Good morning everyone. I've been in debate heaven for the past three days up here in Manchester, New Hampshire.
I'm flying back home today but wanted to spend an hour fielding your questions on the two debates and anything else in the political world that interests you. Let's get to it.
Los Angeles: Morning, Chris -- thanks for taking questions. I thought John McCain's comment about all the immigrants that have fought for this country in various wars was extremely poignant and his best moment in awhile. Your thoughts? Also, does washingtonpost.com try to get any of the presidential nominees to guest-host these live chats? Those would be very lively discussions!
washingtonpost.com: McCain Sets Self Apart in Debate (Post, June 6)
Chris Cillizza: I just finished up my post on the winners and losers from last night's debate and here's a sneak preview: McCain was a winner. (The full post will be up on The Fix within the next hour.)
McCain's answer on immigration referenced above was quite effective, but not in my mind his best moment of the night. That came when McCain answered a question offered by a woman whose brother had been killed in Iraq.
McCain stood and reached out to the woman with an answer that was less about specific policies than it was about the need to persevere in this fight. Very powerful. If you haven't watched it yet, you can find the clip on The Fix.
washingtonpost.com: Video: Candidates Respond to Audience Member's Iraq Question (washingtonpost.com, June 5)
Raleigh, N.C.: I think there are lots of people with reasonable concerns about illegal immigration and the problems it presents. While I disagree with most of the Republicans on the issue, I recognize that the different prescriptions we have still all center around reasonably similar definitions of the problem rooted in America's tradition as a haven for immigrants. I was shocked by the nasty, creepy extremism of Tancredo last night. I'm truly disturbed that this man has a constituency. How in-step (or out-of-step) is he with the Republican base?
Chris Cillizza: It's true that Rep. Tom Tancredo does have some support for his views on immigration (legal and illegal) but I would be cautious about extrapolating his views onto the entire Republican field.
After Tancredo called on his party to curtail legal immigration, McCain, Giuliani and Huckabee all disavowed that position.
My sense of the Republican Party is that the most conservative element within it feels strongly that the 12 million people in this country illegally should be sent home. They're not sure how to make that happen but any plan short of that makes them very angry.
Richmond, Va.: At last night's debate, a member of the audience asked Romney why, if he believes English should be the official language, he is running ads in Spanish. Instead of answering the question, Romney launched into an outburst about how the Republicans are the "future." Why didn't Blitzer didn't support the questioner (or any of the other the local moderators) by saying to Romney "but you didn't answer the question" -- and repeat the question? I was incredibly frustrated by this lack of follow-up. So, why do these moderators let these things go?
Chris Cillizza: That was an interesting moment in the debate. While most of the questioners picked by CNN seemed to have no obvious agenda in their questions, that one had a much sharper edge to it.
I actually thought Romney handled the question nicely, drawing a distinction between his support for legal immigrants and his opposition to those living in this country illegally.
In general, I thought Wolf Blitzer did a sound job navigating through the 10-candidate field. Every candidate wants to sound off on every issue, so it is a really tough job to try and ensure that the major candidates get the most air time while not entirely excluding those in the second tier.
Astoria, N.Y.: Is there a science to knowing when people start paying attention to candidates in greater numbers? In other words, is there some sort of polling data that makes political advisers say "issue x will be huge three months from now, but until then we have some cloud cover." The Post and its columnists are my biggest source of news, but I'm not always sure what the rest of the country is looking at. Thanks.
Chris Cillizza: Science would be overstating it. It is more of an art.
The reality is that right now relatively few people -- outside of Iowa, New Hampshire and South Carolina -- are paying close attention to the presidential race.
So for the moment, the candidates need to tailor their messages to the activist crowd, which tends to represent the extreme ideological right and left. That's why Democrats are focused heavily on their opposition to the war while Republicans are spending lots and lots of time on illegal immigration. Both issues are of the utmost importance to those base voters paying close attention right now.
The reality in politics is that most people don't start paying close attention to the race until the final weeks or even the final days. Many minds get made up right before a voters cast his or her vote, and it's nearly impossible to predict just what makes up that mind. Is it a television ad? A billboard? Or a piece of literature handed to them before they entered their polling place?
Strategists spend years trying to answer those questions.
Boston: Can you think of a stranger Twilight Zone moment during a presidential debate when lightning struck while Rudy tried to explain his abortion stand? Was it a cosmic message, and how do you think Rudy handled it? Can't CNN afford a real lightning rod instead of relying on Rudy to take the bolt?
Chris Cillizza: Holy cow! What a strange moment.
In the minutes before the debate started, the skies in Manchester turned pitch black and it started pouring.
Dozens of laptops in the media filing center switched to the Weather Channel's Web site to see what the heck was happening. So, the lightning strikes during the debate weren't all that unexpected, but the fact that they happened as Giuliani was answering a question on his support for abortion was downright bizarre.
I thought he handled it as well as he could, cracking a joke about how frightening that was for someone who went to parochial school all of his life.
Obviously, Giuliani and his team would have preferred lightning not strike as he was answering the question, but you can't control the weather.
washingtonpost.com: Video: Giuliani Gets 'Zapped' on Abortion (washingtonpost.com, June 5)
Washington: After an hour of discussion on religion, can someone please ask the more important question to these candidates -- who is going to be the most fiscally conservative, and how are they going to prevent the out-of-control spending and earmarks from getting worse?
Chris Cillizza: I actually thought two of the Big Three scored some points on the out-of-control spending habits in Washington last night.
McCain wedged in a reference to the "Bridge to Nowhere" (a real fan favorite) and Giuliani touted his support for pro-growth policies to build the economy.
At a McCain town hall I attended earlier in the day, he spent a fair amount of time decrying the spending habits of Washington as well -- using his time-tested "drunken sailor" line to draw a laugh.
washingtonpost.com: The Fix: GOP Debate -- Winners and Losers (washingtonpost.com, June 6)
Chris Cillizza: Here's the link to my Winners and Losers post that just went up on The Fix...
Naylor, Mo.: In your opinion, how did the Republican second-tier candidates stand up against the Democratic second-tier candidates? My impression was CNN was trying to make the first-tier candidates more visible with more air time.
Chris Cillizza: Very good question.
I have long believed that the Democratic field is quite a bit deeper than the Republican field.
The fact that you have Sens. Chris Dodd (Conn.) and Joe Biden (Del.) as well as Gov. Bill Richardson (N.M.) -- all highly accomplished men -- firmly ensconced in the second-tier tells you something about the quality of the Democratic field.
As I said in my winners and losers post, I though former Gov. Mike Huckabee (Ark.) again acquitted himself nicely in last night's debate. Many of the other second-tier candidates, however, failed to make any impression at all.
Ames, Iowa: I know Ron Paul is not going to win, but don't you agree he has the potential to be a persistent gadfly candidate and remain so till the convention? He has some very motivated supporters.
Chris Cillizza: Speaking of second-tier candidates...
Yes, Ron Paul can stay in this race as long as he likes. There is little expectation that he will win or even influence the outcome, and therefore he will not be faced with a moment when he "underperforms" in an early state and must decide whether to continue.
Paul represents a contrarian view within the Republican party (he opposes the war in Iraq) and generally presents his view eloquently and thoughtfully.
Chris Cillizza: Here's a quick news update...
Giuliani has decided to skip the Ames (Iowa) Straw poll in August but will participate in the state's caucuses next January, according to the Des Moines Register. You can read the story here.
Silver Spring, Md.: Interesting to hear so many candidates say that they are really the most conservatives ones, as though they are unaware of the fact that many people to whom this not a selling point are watching and will be voting in the general election. When James Gilmore, among others, said how he had slashed taxes, he did not mention any effects on budgets, public works, etc. And certainly no one mentioned whether spending $6 billion a month in Iraq had a negative effect on our economy. But most importantly, can't Tommy Thompson afford a better hairpiece (that is fake hair, isn't it)?
Chris Cillizza: Well, remember that you don't get a chance to win (or lose) the general election until you become the party's nominee.
Being popular among the broad electorate doesn't do a candidate all that much good if they aren't all that popular among the base of their party. (See McCain, John circa 2000.)
Every candidate in both parties is appealing to the most liberal/conservative elements at the moment because history tells us those are the people who vote in party primaries and caucuses.
Boise, Idaho: Chris, I respectfully disagree somewhat with your analysis with "The Fix." I think your "winner" designation of Rudy was because he has improved with each showing, not that last night was anything stellar. Personally I believe that Romney is clearly the most intelligent of the top three, and like it or not the fact that he is an "attractive" candidate probably deters from his perception of intelligence -- much the same way we males tend to look at attractive females. Is my assessment incorrect? Thank you for taking my letter!
Chris Cillizza: As I said in the Winners and Losers post, my opinions are just that -- my opinions.
If you read the commentary out there today on the debate you will find a wide divergence of opinion about who won and who lost. It's all subjective.
As for Romney, I thought he had his moments (especially his response to the Mormon question) but didn't get as many good chances as Giuliani and McCain did. That's not his fault but does factor into calculating winners and losers.
But, you're far from alone in calling Romney the winner. Roger Simon, columnist at the Politico, ruled him the winner as well. Here's Roger's column.
Arlington, Va.: Chris, seeing that Giuliani is skipping the Iowa straw poll in August, do you think he is risking handing McCain momentum? McCain is favored in New Hampshire, so an Iowa win might carry McCain all the way to the nomination. Or is Giuliani putting everything into the Feb 5 primaries regardless of Iowa and New Hampshire?
Chris Cillizza: I think Giuliani's decision to skip the straw poll was necessary given how far behind McCain and Romney he is in terms of building an organization.
I'm betting that former Sen. Fred Thompson (R-Tenn.) also will take a pass on the straw poll, which, if it comes to pass, will turn the event into an organizational showdown between Romney and McCain.
I am already giddy with excitement. And, yes, I know, that marks me as a huge political nerd.
Washington: You call Ron Paul a contrarian, I think he is an isolationist. His ideas have been tried several times in our history, and have failed. Just as the policy did not work prior to World War I, it will not work with the current Muslim extremists who are adamant about our demise.
Chris Cillizza: Another view on Ron Paul's politics...
Maryland: Chris, one basic question: "Who is really watching these debates from either party?"
Chris Cillizza: Well, the CNN debate on Sunday night averaged nearly 3 million viewers -- the most of any of the debates so far this year.
It helped that there are several marquee candidates on the Democratic side (Sens. Clinton and Obama in particular) and the debate on Sunday featured some nice interplay between them.
But, polling does bear out the idea that more people are paying close attention to this presidential race than have at this time in past elections. It's still not a huge number of people, but there is clearly an interest in the candidates and the issues surrounding 2008.
Seattle: Looking at video clips, I noticed that the Big Three in the GOP debate (Romney, Giuliani and McCain) all had podiums next to each other. Did CNN do that on purpose so they could give them more screen-time, or is that just a coincidence?
Chris Cillizza: Unlike the previous debates, CNN assigned the podiums as opposed to randomly selecting them.
And yes, it is designed to get the Big Three in more shots together, to see how they react and interact to and with one another.
Chris Cillizza: Folks I have to duck out a bit early to get on a conference call with the Giuliani campaign. Thanks for chatting with me this morning. And remember to check out our winners and losers from last night's debate over at The Fix.

The chief executive of a Batley-based healthcare company is joining the Mid Yorkshire Hospitals Trust part-time.
Locala boss Robert Flack has been seconded to the Trust as a director with responsibility for overseeing its community health services in Wakefield.
He will also draw up plans to improve quality and performance of community services across Wakefield and North Kirklees to support planned hospital service changes.
Mr Flack said: "All the partners agree that working together is the only way to bring about the changes that are needed to meet the care needs of local people now and in the future.
"The organisations involved are motivated by a strong desire to improve care."
Mid Yorkshire chief executive Stephen Eames said Mr Flack would bring a "wealth of expertise" to the role.
Locala, a community interest company, is the main provider of NHS community services in Kirklees.
Critics have voiced concerns that Mr Flack's appointment could create a conflict of interest since he will be working for both organisations.
But Mr Eames said: "I think it's the reverse. We're using the skills and expertise of Locala to strengthen our community services across the Trust.
"We've appointed Robert as an individual, rather than as Locala.
"If, for example, we were to tender our community services in Wakefield it would have to go through a full and proper process."
Mr Flack will take up his post at the Trust from April 1.

In spring 2012, I did a bunch of routes at the Sky Cafe with Mike Endicott. From near its NW corner, I noticed a bolted anchor just below. Further investigation revealed a nice outcrop displaying bolts, anchors, and clean splitters. On June 12, 2012, I returned with my wife, Jeana, and Mike and led six routes on what I will call the Stone Cafe.
Thanks a Latte' and Gruel Shoes are the only routes lacking big areas of slippery lichen encrustations. Although countless bolted lines have been heavily brushed in Boulder Canyon and elsewhere, lichen is part of the rock's beauty, is natural, and doesn't have to be removed.

London (Oct. 24)
Outlining the Government's program at a plenary session of the Sejm today, Prime Minister Koscialkowski stated that all citizens of Poland, irrespective of their nationality or religion, were expected to work in closest harmony with the State in the interests of regaining general prosperity.
The principle of justice and equality of treatment for all, the new Prime Minister declared, must be carried cut by all branches of the government.
To balance the budget, M. Koscialkowski announced the increase in the income tax and the enactment of a special tax for government employes. In order to encourage agriculture, he said, taxes affecting the rural population will be reduced.
In tribute to the memory of the late Deputy Waclav Wislicki, the entire Sejm stood silently for several minutes.

Legislators are considering the fine points of turn signal laws.
Sen. Paul Schumacher of Columbus introduced a bill (LB 83) Thursday, Jan. 10, to make an exception for stopped vehicles in the law requiring a turn signal in the last 100 feet before a turn or lane change.
Its a little fix-it bill, Schumacher said. All this does is says that youve got to signal for a reasonable period of time before you make the turn. You dont have to back up and take a run at it for 140 feet.
Columbus lawyer Bill Kurtenbach brought the issue to Schumachers attention after trying a case involving a violation to the turn signal statute.
After pulling up to a stop sign from a nearby diagonal parking spot, a police officer stopped his client for signaling a turn too late, Kurtenbach said.
What if the parking spot is less than 100 feet from the corner? he said.
Kurtenbach said he decided to involve Schumacher because he believed the statute was wrong because it did not reflect how people drive.
This particular way its written now puts people in a bad spot, Schumacher said. They dont want to break the law, but as a practical matter they have to.
While it is not a large change to the law, Kurtenbach said it could help Nebraskans avoid this common problem altogether.
The bill is assigned to the Transportation and Telecommunications Committee for a hearing and further action.
Schumacher said it is not big enough to rate as priority legislation but could come out of committee as a general fix-it bill.

Perspectives on risk measurement: a critical assessment of PC-GARCH against the main volatility forecasting models
The paper makes a critical assessment of the Principal Components-GARCH (PC-GARCH) model and argues why, when dealing with hundreds or thousands of variables, this model comes up as the most appropriate to be used. The suitability originates from the perspective of quality/cost ratio of volatility forecasts, allowing for a trade-off between quality and costs when computational efforts are significant. PC-GARCH not only provides a method that allows for simpler volatility modeling, reducing significantly the computational time and getting rid of any problem that may arise from complex data manipulations, but also improves the modeling process quality by ensuring a stricter control of noise due to more stable correlation estimates.
