Everyone has feelings—and by the time people become adults, most have a vocabulary for talking about them. Children, however, often don't yet have this skill and are more likely to act out how they feel. A great way to strengthen your family is to help your child(ren) learn how to talk about feelings in an age-appropriate way. The Families Overcoming Under Stress (FOCUS) program for enhancing family resilience has created a "Feeling Thermometer" that you can use with your child so he or she can show you where his/her feelings fall. This is a great way to understand what your child is feeling and to start talking about emotions such as anger when a child gets too "hot," so he or she can learn how to control such feelings and make that anger temperature go down.

Meditation has been suggested as a possible strategy to benefit those with TBI, but currently there is not enough research on the ability of those affected by TBI to meditate or to benefit from meditation, and the few published studies report different results, so its effectiveness remains unknown. For more information, read HPRC's Overview, and for an even more in-depth analysis of the research, read our Research Summary on the topic.
Tobacco users often claim the reason they smoke (or chew) is to relieve stress. However, research shows that tobacco is not only ineffective for relieving stress, but tobacco users actually experience more stress than non-users. A study among military personnel showed that tobacco users use positive coping strategies—such as problem-solving skills—less often than non-smokers. So think twice before you light up (or chew) in order to relax—it may not be working as well as you think. Try some of the relaxation strategies found in HPRC's Mind Tactics Stress Control resources instead.
Grab your headphones and learn effective relaxation strategies for performance optimization and stress reduction with the Relax Relax Toolkit from the Navy and Marine Corps Public Health Center (NMCPHC). Featuring audio instruction from experts and links to evidence-based information on each technique, this toolkit covers a number of strategies including breathing exercises, muscle relaxation strategies, meditation styles, and combination and advanced strategies. To help meditation, Relax Relax also presents a variety of relaxing music to help you meditate. Visit the HPRC's Stress Control Tools for more information on relaxation strategies.
The National Center for Telehealth and Technology has introduced a line of mobile apps focusing on mind-body strategies to help improve mood, PTSD symptoms, and induce relaxation. Currently, most of the applications are available at the iPhone app store and Android Market. Below is a list of a few that are currently available. For more details, visit the MT Stress Control Tools.
Being in stressful situations activates the body's physiologic stress response, which is what allows Warfighters the ability to respond to any threat at any time. In the sports world, the stress response is associated with the adrenaline rush that pumps athletes up during competitions, and gives them the edge to win.
Unlike athletes, however, Warfighters are a select group who operate in stressful situations day in and day out. Prolonged exposure to stressful situations has been found to be harmful both physically and psychologically, unless one learns how to successfully manage one's internal response. To that end, there are programs throughout the uniformed services that teach Warfighters combat stress management techniques. Many use a stoplight system—utlizing the colors green, yellow, and red—to teach Warfighters how to calm the stress response and bring the body back into balance, in order to give it a reprieve. Successful warfighters learn these skills and apply them in theater.
These same skills, which allow one to calm the body's physiologic response to stress, can also be applied to other areas—most notably, in one's relationships. The stress response triggered by external threats is the same stress response that is activated during emotionally-charged conflicts with someone you care about (although the degree of stress is different). Conflict between two people creates the same internal stress, coupled with a flood of negative emotions. The techniques learned to manage combat stress are techniques that can also help Warfighters in their personal relationships.
A recent study examined 149 couples in a 15-minute discussion about a marital conflict found that positive emotions helped couples regulate, or calm, their physiologic responses after the conversation. Interestingly, how happy the individual was with their relationship did not impact this finding. This indicates that positive emotions seem to have the ability to "undo" the physiologic arousal of conflict.
The next time you get in a fight with someone you care about, try this: stop, take yourself out of the situation, and start thinking positive thoughts—either about yourself, something else, or your partner. Notice whether you feel calmer, if your body temperature decreased, if your heart rate slowed down, and if your body moved less (we tend to move more when we are upset). You might find this to be an excellent addition not only to your combat stress strategies, but also to your positive relationship strategies.

I'm over at OCFamily today. Check out this super cute and quick homemade gift idea. Hand Dad a cup of coffee with his own personalized coffee sleeve this Father's Day.
Here is what you will need to create your own custom cup of coffee for Dad:
- coffee sleeve
- scrapbook or colored paper of choice
- pictures, stickers, chipboard letters of choice
- Mod Podge®
- scissors or X-ACTO knife
- sponge brush
- ribbon of choice
First, trace a coffee sleeve on the back side of a piece of patterned scrapbook paper two times for the front and back of the sleeve. Cut out with a scissors or X-ACTO knife.
Next, brush on a coat of Mod Podge on one side of coffee sleeve. Place one paper cut out on top and add another coat of Mod Podge on top to seal. Let dry, and repeat for other side of coffee sleeve.
Add chipboard letters, stickers, or cutouts of pictures and attach with Mod Podge as well. I also attached a 1/2″ wide ribbon around one of the sleeves, and tied it like you would a men's tie on the front and clipped the ends into a triangle shape to resemble a tie.
After the sleeve is completely dry, your custom coffee sleeve will be complete. Bring Dad a cup of coffee using this cool upcycled craft!
Happy Crafting!

Currently viewing the tag: "home designers"
Many people who are in the market to build a new home find a perfect answer in stock house plans. On the other hand, there are others out there who find the need for custom house plans and want the services of a design professional.
Many have debated the notion of using either a home designer or architect. It is a debate that may continue as long as time will exist. What isn't in doubt is the fact that both professionals are capable of providing a home builder or private client with quality design services for new construction house plans or documents for a home remodel and renovation. However, there are things you will need to consider to determine which is right for you.

Jason Spezza is on his way to Switzerland.
The Ottawa Senators forward has signed on with Rapperswil-Jona for the duration of the NHL lockout, joining fellow Canadians Logan Couture (Geneva-Servette) and Rick Nash and Joe Thornton (HC Davos) in the Swiss A League.
Spezza is coming off a strong season with the Sens, where he scored 34 goals and 84 points in 80 games.
The 29-year-old spent the 2004-05 lockout in the American Hockey League -- winning the MVP award -- and indicated last week that he'd talked to a number of players who went to Europe during that lost season.
"A lot of guys went over last time and played and enjoyed it," said Spezza. "And I think that message has kind of trickled down."
The NHL lockout entered its fourth day with no formal meetings scheduled between the league and NHL Players' Association. The sides last sat down together on Sept. 12.
Martin St. Louis is a Ranger, Matt Moulson is a member of the Minnesota Wild and the Montreal Canadiens have Thomas Vanek. Look back at all the big name deals that went down.

Book review site GoodReads has caused a stir recently in issuing their new enforcement of comments and reviews on their site. If you read their official statement, it's clear that these are the policies they have had for a long time, but the announcement of what is tantamount to a crackdown sent cries of censorship into the air.
So the question becomes "is it censorship?"
If I don't like the way a certain business is acting, especially if it is "Corporate Policy", I just take my business elsewhere. With GoodReads, I see it as no different.
What I think GoodReads did wrong was to remove the reviews without warning. GoodReads should have informed the owners of the offending reviews that they would need to be changed or the review would be deleted by a certain date (say, 30 days). On a side note, I don't mind the GoodReads policy of removing reviews that just attack the author.
Show me the content that relates directly to the book. I don't care if the author is a jerk. I want GoodReads to be a place where I find out about books, not author personalities.
Maranda Gibson agrees that it's the approach that is the problem, not the rules. "You can't unring a bell and while I support their decision to enforce their rules, a part of managing a community is doing that from the beginning. Goodreads didn't and now they are getting backlash from trying to clean up a mess they made."
Mary Williams adds, "GoodReads has been around since 2007, so they probably still have things to learn when it comes to community action. The resentment from some of their members about the way they handled removing reviews can be used by the company as a source of what not to do. Giving a fair notice to their members, and allowing their members to correct their reviews, would have been a better way to handle the situation. Hopefully, they will use this experience as a lesson learned and will give their members more notice the next time they make changes to their policy."
Bottom line, this is not a case of censorship. GoodReads, as a business, can create and enforce their policies as they see fit as long as no laws are being broken. It's the same concept as if someone was walking around a mall with an offensive T-shirt on and asked to either turn the shirt inside-out or leave. It seems this is more of an issue with the way they have handled their policy enforcement. Those who don't agree with their policy, well they can always go elsewhere.

I'm not afraid to admit I have a deep affection for cleaning. Most people who do have a "scent of choice". Personally, I love the smell of Pine Sol. I picked up a new bottle a few weeks ago, noting the "longer lasting scent" label. Great, right?
The problem is that it smells nothing like my favorite smell. In fact, the "longer lasting scent" down right stinks. After some complaining, I decided to see if I was just being picky, and went to the Pine Sol Facebook community. I found vindication in other fans feeling like the new stuff is awful.
Given some of the responses from customers and the brand responses, it appears that the people at Clorox (the makers of Pine Sol) have created a bit of a disaster, and they are breaking all the rules when it comes to a social media crisis. In fact, it's the public relations disaster you haven't heard about.
PR happens on the web now, and if you're not prepared to respond, you might have a blow back that you didn't expect or want. Here are some key takeaways from what I've witnessed to their response in the middle of a customer crisis.
If you don't provide a reason or a message - your community will hunt one down for you. The problem with communities is that they can sometimes be wrong about a companies motivation for a particular move. It's your job as a brand representative to provide the message so that the community doesn't make up their own.
Using a form response to address the aforementioned concerns is usually a bad move. The form response being used by the social media managers on this page are especially unforgiving, because the only thing that is changed is the name. It goes a little something like this: "Hi, this is *NAME* and we understand your concerns, but we totally user tested it and everyone loved it. It's also better than before."
Deleting / Removing negative comments only make you look worse. When you make a move that upsets your customers (no matter if you plan on sticking with it or reverting) it's better to accept the criticism, rather than try to hide it. Rejecting a negative review is only going to make the situation seem suspicious. You need to be prepared to respond to any comments - good or bad.
Even though you probably haven't heard about this public relations mess, hopefully some of these take always will be something you can apply and be ready for in the event you come across a similar situation. What PR situation have you learned from?

When might you use a five minute presentation?
Some situations like when you've been asked at the last minute to make a quick introduction for someone else or a quick product announcement in front of a group are where you usually see the five minute presentation show up. They can be very useful tools in business because they force you to be effective and on point, since time is limited.
To make a great five minute speech you need to do some of the following.
Focus on a Single Point
When your time is limited to five minutes, the best thing to do is to derive one clear main idea from the information being discussed and present that as a single focus. You simply don't have the time to elaborate much beyond a main point. Decide what the main point is and build the rest of the presentation around it.
Come Out with a Bang
You already know that there is a limited amount of time to catch your audience's attention. When your speech is compacted into a five minute window, even more effort is required to get that audience to sit up and pay attention. You want to get participants attention in the best and most effective ways possible, and starting strong is going to be the best way to do that. Use something like a quick quote or an anecdote to create something amazing.
Close Like a Pro
Okay, your five minutes are up. Now is the time to reiterate your opening and bring it home for the listener. What was your main point of your five minutes? Now is the time to reiterate that to your audience. Maybe your goal was to introduce yourself – now would be the time to state your name again, and to invite people to come mingle with you. Maybe you wanted to get everyone amped for the next speaker about to walk on the stage, so remind everyone now of why they should be excited for the person about to take over.
Five minute presentations might seem like an overwhelming task, but they should only be used in certain situations. Your five minute presentation isn't always going to cut it but it's good to have one on the back burner, just in case you need it.
How do you deliver a five minute presentation?
SimCity is a game that has been around for nearly as long as I can remember. In March of 2013, the latest version was rebooted and it wasn't met with the warmest of regards. Server crashes, the requirement to be 'online' to play, and small map sizes for your lots were just a few of the problems that the developers at Maxis and EA dealt with in the first few weeks of the highly anticipated launch.
As an avid SimCity mayor and the creator of many fine cities, it always seemed funny that the creators of the greatest city building games and arguably the most recognized franchise didn't do what their game has been teaching us about preparation forever.
Have a Plan
When you're a new mayor, you take a moment to sit back and determine where the best place for things might be. Which way is the wind blowing? You don't want to build your residential areas where the industrial pollution will blow. Where are your water supplies and other minerals? These are all important things when it comes to building a new city.
When you take on a new marketing strategy or start a new PR push, you need to have a plan. Going into it blind means you won't have a true understanding of what your direction should be. Is your goal to get national exposure for a brand or company? You're going to take a different direction that a client that has a goal of twenty thousand new Twitter followers.
Prepare for Disasters
For the SimCity Mayors we know that there is nothing more annoying than being in the middle of making tons of cash and then the screen starts to shake, or in your speakers you hear the inevitable horrible roar of the tornado warning sirens. That's right; it's time for SimCity to unleash a random disaster upon your humble town.
In public relations, it's not so obvious when there are warning signs. You can't always be prepared for something to go wrong in your marketing strategy or public relations campaign, but you can always plan around the "what ifs". Make a list of potential disasters (hopefully no Godzilla strikes) and then have an action plan for crisis management.
Give it Time to Grow
Once you've got the basics of your city in place and your cash flow is positive, there's a rush to build up your city quickly and increase the population, so that you can get more money. In life and SimCity, it's not always the best idea expand your small rural town to a big metropolis before you are completely ready.
Initial campaign success does not always translate into long term dollars. While you're enjoying increased exposure, give it some time to sustain before you hire additional staff or move into a new office building. That way you know your growth is sustainable and the additional staff or space is truly needed.
A new public relations or marketing campaign is challenging and exciting, just like being the new mayor of a virtual town. Putting your plan in place and being prepared to act from the start are often the best ways to manage things in the long run.
Growing up, my mother used to tell me to open my mouth to speak because I would never open my mouth to make certain words. I wasn't having any problems communicating and no one in school seemed to think it was an issue. I did a lot of exercises to try to enunciate but no matter what I did it just didn't help. So I just spoke at a higher volume, which my mother was equally not a fan of.
At thirteen, I went to the orthodontist and he discovered that I had a medical condition called Ankyloglossia. In non-medical terms it's called being tongue-tied. It's the presence of a small bit of membrane (called a frenulum) that attaches the tip of your tongue to your lower jaw. A quick little surgery removed it and I could speak clearly.
There are a lot of things that can cause a speech impediment. You may stutter or find yourself losing your train of thought when you speak. If you think you have a speech impediment, you can try to diagnose and correct it.
Start at the Doctor
There are lots of factors that can cause a speech impediment and you should start with a visit to your doctor. Your impediment could be medical or physical. A doctor would be able to refer you to someone that can help you. For me it was an oral surgeon but it might require a trip to an ENT, or even a neurologist. Talk to your doctor about your symptoms and go from there.
Practice Your Speech
Once the cause of your impediment is determined, you can develop a plan of action to move beyond it. If your impediment isn't caused by a medical issue, you may be able to resolve some of the problems by making simple changes to your body language.
Find a Speech Therapist
Correcting an impediment in an adult is a difficult process because by the time we reach adulthood it becomes harder to change the habits of our brain, including speech. If you are truly concerned with improving your speech, you might need to find a therapist who can help you learn the mechanics of your speech patterns and make improvements to them. Your impediment might never be 100% gone but a therapist is trained to teach you how to manage it.
Having a speech impediment can be embarrassing, but more than anything, it's frustrating. Have you ever had a speech impediment? How did you address the issue?
So many times when I talk to customers after their conferences, they call in asking for information that they didn't realize was readily available to them. Is there a way to see who attended my conference? I think I missed some questions in the chat session; can I get a copy of that? Do you have the ability to send me my audio conference recording?
We do a lot of work with customers who are using conference call services to boost their business. These tools are a great way to reach out to potential clients, and while planning and hosting the webinar are two of the most important pieces – don't forget what comes after the moderator terminates the call.
Is there a way to see who attended my conference?
Two options can make it easy for you to see who attended your conference. You can set up a registration page ahead of time and have participants sign-up for the call. This will assign each person a unique conference code which will help you identify who attended and who did not. It also stores specific information like name and email addresses. When your call is over you can go to your customer account and download your full registration details. Use the stored emails to send a thank you or reach out to the no-shows for your conference.
You can also sign up for an operator answered conference and we will greet your participants before taking their name and an additional piece of information, before placing them into your conference.
I missed some chat questions – can I download a transcription of chat?
If you're using web conferencing you can easily chat with participants and allow them to ask questions. When your call is over, download your chat history to make sure that everyone who submitted a question via chat was properly answered. If you see a great idea or suggestion floating around in the chat, reach out to the person directly and thank them for their participation or suggestion.
Can you send me my audio conference recording?
Set up your conference to automatically record when the moderator joins the conference. This recording is not only a great review tool for some of the information shared on the conference, but a great marketing piece for your company. Provide some of the bits and pieces of the conference on your website and encourage people to sign up for your next conference to hear more. Downloading your recording is easy and can be done by logging into your account and going to "Recordings". Find the date and time of the conference you need and click on "Save" to begin downloading the recording.
Don't Forget to Schedule Your Next Conference
Every time I've attended an event, once it's complete, I get an email telling me 'thanks' and the bottom is always an opportunity to get an early-bird sign up discount for the next one. This is a great idea for participants who are "flying high" on the great information provided on the conference. When your conference is over, set up your next one, and send out the invitation while people have you at the front of their brain.
What do you do after your conferences to help retain people's interest and excitement? Attention spans are fleeting so capitalizing while you have the chance might help your next conference call too.
Have no clue what a registration page is? No worries. Check out our registration page information and video & web conferencing to find ways to encourage more interaction with your participants.

I love to talk to people. It wasn't always like that for me but now, if you end up in line with me, I will at least issue you a 'hello'. Being naturally inquisitive is part of the reason that public speaking has always been easy for me. Like all speakers, there are initial nerves but once I find a comfortable groove, it's pretty easy to interact with an audience.
It's not like that for everyone. In fact, I'm often surprised at the number of people who are successful speakers, but call themselves introverts. It's not an easy thing to "break out your shell" in front of a group of people that you don't know.
Shy speakers need to gain a bit of ground before they get comfortable and it will take them a bit longer to find their groove when giving a presentation. Here are some other tips for shy speakers.
Of course, the biggest weapon for the shy speaker is to practice, practice, and practice.
Are you a former "shy speaker"? How did you kick the habit? What tips would you give someone looking to improve in their speaking confidence? Are those tips different when you're making a speech over a conference call or do you think the same delivery techniques can apply?
I'm a big baseball fan and recently I've gotten interested in Sabremetrics. It's a lot of math but the interesting thing about it is how Sabremetrics is being used to determine a player's value in terms of their on-field contributions. Did you ever see Moneyball? Billy Beane and the Oakland A's patched together a team using the values within Sabremetrics. One of the most interesting metric is that of WAR.
WAR stands for "wins above replacement" and is used to determine a player's value based on their total contributions. Let's say there is a player who never commits errors, hits doubles on a consistent basis, but doesn't hit a lot of homeruns – WAR is a statistic that helps the front office determine if that player contributes more than a replacement player (someone on the bench or in the minor leagues). There is much more to the WAR stat than that, but the important thing to remember is that WAR paints a clear picture of a player's ability based on all of their field abilities.
What is Your Content WAR?
Look at your content in terms of WAR. You want to see something that is providing an overall value. Content doesn't need to hit a home run every time it comes up to the plate. You want consistent and shareable content.
Look beyond links to see the full picture of what your website is doing for you. A page that gets a lot of traffic but not a lot of conversions may not be ready to DFA (designate for assignment) when the traffic is going to another page. Use your analytic tools to see where that traffic goes next and then use all of the numbers to determine if that content still has value. Inbound links is not the only metric to determining what content performs well.
Follow your keywords to see if you could make slight adjustments to you page to gather more of that traffic. When a baseball player has been doing well offensively the manager might decide to move him up in the batting order because he's getting on base more than someone else. By following the long-tail keywords that is getting people to your content, you can discover ways to move that page up in the batting order.
Remember that WAR is about value and not about one stat or another. When we evaluate the progress and the success of our content we often want to look at it with the question of "where are my links?" but I don't believe content marketing is that black and white. I think it's more about the value created.
So play on, content marketers, and in the words of Babe Ruth, "Every strike brings me closer to the next home run."
I have a bad habit of not looking up from my cell phone when someone is talking to me. I am listening, yes, but I am not giving that impression. When I keep my attention on my phone, I'm sending the non-verbal message that I am not listening.
In communication studies the person talking is called the "sender" and the person listening is called "the receiver". When the receiver has their head down, looking at their phone, or doing something else, they are not as engaged in the conversation as the sender might like. I need to teach myself how to put down the phone and become a better receiver. Here are three keys to becoming an effective receiver.
In order to be an effective receiver, you need to focus on your active listening skills. Beyond these tips there are plenty more things you can do to be an active listener.
What other keys necessary to be an effective receiver?
Business Communications | Web Conferencing
In most colleges, some form of oral communication or speech class is a requirement for graduation. These basic communication classes teach you a couple of things but the most prevalent are the types of speeches. One of these is an inspirational speech and its purpose is to make an impact on the audience. Most of the time, the inspirational speech gets caught up and mixed in with the motivational speech, which usually brings across memories of Matt Foley and the fear of living in a van down by the river.
An inspirational speech is so much more than just trying to motivate and when properly delivered, it can change the world. Some of the best speeches of all time have been nothing more than an inspirational speech in their mechanics.
Martin Luther King – "I Have a Dream"
The MLK speech is one of the most highly recognized and historically significant speeches in the world. The speech was written to call to reform the legal system, but something amazing happened. Where the written words should have concluded, King improvised, in the moment, adding some of the most powerful words of the entire speech – "Free at last! Free at last! Thank God Almighty, we are free at last!"
Like any speech, this one was written and crafted for the moment, but King found himself inspired by the thousands that listened intently and hung to his every word. He connected to his audience and felt their common emotions and translated what they felt into words that he had the power to deliver. Truly great inspirational speeches do not just repeat words already on the page – they feel the emotions of the crowd and give a voice to the movement.
Abraham Lincoln – "Gettysburg Address"
When your country is torn apart in a vicious civil war and 51,000 men just lost their lives, the task of inspiring a nation to unite could be the most daunting of all. When Lincoln delivered the Gettysburg Address, less than half of the Union soldiers had been properly buried. It sounds like such a somber moment in history – so why is this one of the greatest inspirational speeches of all time?
Lincoln marked a tragic occasion with an address that honored the dead but challenged the living, and he delivered the speech in under three minutes. In many ways he placed the task of honoring the dead on the grounds into the hands of those that lived – asking and wanting to know what they would do now. "It is for us, the living, rather to be dedicated here to the unfinished work which they have, thus far, so nobly carried on."
John F. Kennedy – "Man on the Moon"
In the shadow of the Cold War, John F. Kennedy knew that the United States had to do something about keeping up with the Soviet Union. He announced in front of a special joint session of Congress that by the end of the decade, the United States would put a man on the surface of the moon.
Kennedy's words set a direct and specific date for anyone who was listening. When a deadline is given for something, people are more likely to respond to the call to action – even for something as challenging as putting a man on the moon. Kennedy would later address Rice University on the same subject and utter the famous quote, "We do these things not because they are easy, but because they are hard."
Kennedy made his speech on May 25, 1961 and Apollo 11 landed on the surface of the moon on July 20, 1969.
Do something you're never done before. Be a voice to someone who doesn't have one. Turn a moment into an opportunity for strength. Challenge yourself to do something that may not even be possible.
That is what makes a great inspirational speech.

The Cambridge Autism Research Centre carries out research studies into autism, Asperger Syndrome (AS) and other conditions on the autism spectrum. Many of the research projects at ARC would be impossible without the help of volunteers like you!
The mission of the ARC is to understand the biomedical causes of autism spectrum conditions, and develop new and validated methods for assessment and intervention. The ARC fosters collaboration between scientists in Cambridge University and outside, to accelerate this mission.
Reviewing over 20 years of neuroscience research into sex differences in brain structure, a Cambridge University team have conducted the first meta-analysis of the evidence, published this week in the prestigious journal Neuroscience and Biobehavioral Reviews.

CNET Editors' review
Raimersoft's RadioMaximus is free software that allows you to not only listen but to record online radio stations from all over the world. While it may not have the sleek design of other players, we found it to be easy to use and very flexible.
RadioMaximus proved very easy to set up and configure. It has the look and feel of a Windows Explorer directory, with a small pane on the left showing the available folders and a row of buttons to execute commands like Record or Add Station. It may not be the prettiest interface we've seen, but we'll take plain and easy-to-use over sleek and confusing any day. Once you add your favorite stations, your list will show the logo of the station to make it easier to visually find the one you want. We also liked that the cover art of music currently be played is displayed as well. The real benefits of this free player, however, are the options to record. As promised, RadioMaximus allowed us to schedule several shows to record at the same time. More importantly, they played without any glitches once recorded.
It does require at least a Windows XP operating system, but that's the only drawback we found with this free software. Otherwise, RadioMaximus is a perfect entertainment tool for those who follow several online radio stations and want to stay on top of all the latest music and information. The application installs and uninstalls cleanly.
Publisher's Description
From Raimersoft:
RadioMaximus allows you to listen to and record radio stations from around the world, listen to and record multiple stations simultaneously, create a schedule for automatic recording, support for Lastfm, bookmarks songs, listen to them later (available for most songs), and shows station logos in your favorites.
What's new in this version: Version 1.85 has fixed some minor bugs.

These look like they would be good for driving so as not to ruin the back of your heels rubbing on the carpet mat. Probably safer too.
I'm thinking these would be great when visiting someone's hse that doesnt permit shoes indoors, u can just whip these out and they'd be fine as long as they're clean. Some people offer indoor slippers when u visit, so u dont ruin their carpeting or flooring but if you're not comfortable wearing theirs.. u can use these.
Thanks!!! |
Could you pls comment how the size runs? I am wearing 6 wide, so 6 and a half for regular shoes, should I get 5/6 or 7/8 better? Thanks. |
I bought these last year for a friend's wedding. They folded in half and fit right into my small purse. I wore a pair of 6 inch black heels until right after dinner and discreetly swapped them out for the Dr. Scholl's fast flats for the remainder of the evening. I just hid my heels under the table since there were long tablecloths.
Best idea I ever had! They are made completely of thick fabric (no hard sole). I will say my feet were throbbing by the time I put on the fast flats. I never would have made it on the dance floor or through the rest of the evening for that matter without them. "No HDMI kills it" stopped being funny a long time ago.
I got a pair of Fit in Clouds from a plum deal a while back and they are a few steps up - still look new. I paid around $10, and I think they run deals every now and then ($20+ retail) I have the black satin but they have a bunch of other designs too. The bottoms are pretty tough/thick rubber. http://fitinclouds.com/products.php |

Soup is the perfect single person's meal. But it seduces your company, too. Two years ago, when a nice man I'd known in college asked me out to dinner, I refused. I'd had plenty of cold, judgmental first dates over complicated restaurant meals, and was tired of them. I wanted to have a relaxed meal with an old friend. Just come over for some soup, I told him. When he arrived, I ladled out my minestrone with pesto and served it with a warm baguette. Now I have someone to chop the onions for me. Laura Fraser's most recent book is the memoir All Over the Map (Broadway). Winter Soup Recipes
From Pot to Freezer (And Back Again)1. If soup includes rice or pasta, reserve it from the recipe—you'll add when reheating. Cool soup to room temperature. Divide it among resealable one-quart freezer bags in two-portion servings, and seal bags most of the way. Smooth out any remaining air, then seal completely. 2. Lay bags on a waxed-paper-lined baking tray and place in refrigerator. Once chilled, move to freezer. 3. To serve: Defrost a bag of soup on a plate in refrigerator for eight to 24 hours. 4. Reheat over medium heat, stirring frequently, without boiling. (Soups with dairy may separate upon defrosting; blend soup back together and warm over low heat to avoid curdling.) Add in any reserved ingredients, like rice or pasta, and garnish. Advertisement

Help selecting first upright... I just lost a gig playing for a theatre because I didn't also play upright bass. It was requested for 2 songs in a 30 song show...but I guess it is what it is. That being said, I need an upright bass to learn and play! I have a Guitar Center discount and see they sell uprights now. I was wondering if someone could guide me as to what would be a nice intermediate upright I could start with. I'm by no means well off financially which is why I feel this would be my best route. I don't need something high end, but I would like something that's not junk and that I won't be embarrassed to gig with. Also, what about these places that rent the student quality ones, any opinions there? Any and all help would be appreciated. |
Look for a Shen. It's a decent entry level instrument. After you purchase one, have it set up correctly by a reputable BASS SHOP. Done deal. |
I agree with Jason. Many known bass shops sell Shen's with a full setup with bridge adjusters and a real fingerboard. |
Not to sound like a snob, but... You're honestly not going to find a worthwhile DB at Guitar Center. |
I agree. But I'm thinking at my income level the dB's they sell with my cost might beat what I can afford elsewhere at full price. They do sell band and orchestra stuff now. Figure maybe could get me through til I can afford and be skilled enough for a higher end one |
I don't know anything about the basses that GC sells or who sets them up, if you can find someone to go with you to check them out, it would make a difference. Aside from that, you're listing some pretty big markets, find the place that sells/rents orchestra instruments and teaches high school kids. Someplace like Long and McQuade in Canada or Brook Mays in Texas. They'll have functional student instruments and some type of experienced luthery help. If you were in Seattle, I'd be happy to go with you to check them out, maybe someone in your area(s) will. |
Sadly GC only sells them online. But there is a place that rents out here. I'm going to check them out. Hopefully they'll have the bass brand suggested in this thread. It's too bad that the woodwind and Brasswind that was in South Bend which is nearby me has closed |
Your location says Chicago and Kalamazoo. For the Chicago area see Michele at Classic Contrabass at http://www.allthingsbass.com She sells Shens and sets every one up before it leaves her shop. In Michigan I'd contact Aaron Reiley of Aaron's Instruments. |
Awesome thanks. I'm south bend, in as my base. But travel out somewhat regularly. I should change that. |
Something to keep in mind that usually gets brought up at some point or another regarding these questions: for a lot of the low-cost basses out there being sold, the amount of money you will have to spend after the initial purchase just to get the bass set up so that it's both gig-worthy and you won't injure yourself trying to play it can add up to the point where you're really better off buying a slightly more expensive but better quality bass. There's been a few recent threads on this subject, but definitely take the advice of the other guys who have and will chime in on this subject. |
I would make the drive to Classic Contrabass in Wheeling. Her setup Shen basses are excellent. Several of my students and my school has purchased her instruments. Aaron is an amazing luthier (he's the son of Steven Reiley and was won awards at ISB conventions for his instruments) but I don't know if he carries Shens as extensively as Michele. |
Cheapest sten these guys had was. $3800. But custom setup and payment plans. Was hoping for a tad cheaper. I may take that drive after the holidays. |
Michele's are around 1700ish fully setup. Give her a call. |
you can find used christophers in the 1000$ range on craigslist similar to the shen, good, if not great entry level bass, I am using one and just sold 2 others this year while waiting for upton to finish my bass orchestra, jazz, whatever, pretty consistent not perfect or awesome, just works |
Never been a fan of Christophers but I'm sure they are alright to begin with. Here are a couple of quick craigslist finds in Chicago: http://chicago.craigslist.org/sox/msg/3486068553.html http://chicago.craigslist.org/nch/msg/3411350769.html |
Christophers were suggested to another bassist in a similar thread. I have a Christopher and a Shen here at the middle school I teach at. The Shen is much better. The Christopher has thick lacquer which has flaked off the and the bridge seems to be made of a lesser quality and softer maple which has not withstood the test of time. The overall production on the Shen is better as well as sounding richer. Please ask away! As a classical bassist and orchestra director I see a lot of basses!!! |
OK wow. Not as bad as I was fearing for cost. Sadly I'd have to do a payment plan. That's why I was originally attracted to the rent to own plans |
Find someone who will accept paypal and put it on the credit card. |

Split and braid your hair into two sections and tie with a rubberband. Twist the braid away from your face and then twist the flat iron onto your hair in the same direction your hair is twisted. Do not touch rubberband or else you will get that weird crease. Repeat this process twice! After hair is cooled, then take them out and run your fingers through the braid.

Got this nugget off today's World Herald giving NU fans choices for parking. How 'bout hanging out in a city garage where you can't tailgate, or hanging on to a parking meter as you gussle your Bud Light. Cyclone fans don't know how good we have it. I'd take the Haunted Forest over this any day:
"Public parking: City garages are available for game day parking, although those near the stadium fill up fast. Pre-paid spaces can be reserved up until the day before the game, though it's too late for today's game. No tailgate parties are allowed in city garages.
On-street parking: Lincoln now offers a $9 all-day hang tang to allow drivers to keep a metered space all day if they find one. Buy them from blue-shirted Park & Go employees at city parking facilities. Up to 400 will be distributed."

One of the most viable ways to get your finance company noticed is with a robust finance logo design. Vibrant, eye-catching finance logos can give customers the feeling of security and stability that is so necessary in the finance industry. Throughout history, the finance industry has been faced with issues of trust. An attention-grabbing logo will assure customers that you are the one company that they need to do business with.
A unique identity can separate you from companies that are here for a short life span. Those businesses that do not take the time or effort to provide a proper logo design give the impression that they will not take the time or effort to provide the best service. Clients want the best service and are looking for companies to provide such.
A well thought our identity is exactly what you need to show your unique service as well as your trustworthiness. There are many people in today's market that do not really understand what they need. However, the intellectual client will be on the lookout for an exclusive branding for this will dictate the select few that are worthy of their business.
If you want to be the first company that customers think of, you must choose create a brand identity that will make the best statement about who you are, what you can do, and how well you can do it. Such a bold proclamation will not be believable without a vivacious logo. Many clients of the past relied on word of "mouth advertising". Perhaps, some clients would use the "good ole' boy system" to find a finance company.
Today presents a much different world. Today, clients who are looking for a finance company will go to the internet. The internet opens up not just your city, but the whole wide world. To be competitive on such a level you must be prepared to participate in an all out advertising campaign. Such a campaign begins with a declaration of who you are. Simple words and sentences are no longer adequate. Take a look yourself. What do you find when you begin to search to internet? You will find that over 80% of all finance companies have logo designs individualised for their companies.
One of the advantages of such a diverse and individual identities is that you can use it on all of your business cards and brochures. This presents as a form of advertising every time you pass out either of these products. All of your stationery will have the logo printed on it; again, an inexpensive form of advertising. "Word of mouth" is still a wonderful endorsement for any company. Now your customers will have a way of remembering your company name easily.
What business could be more competitive than finance? If you own a financial services company, the first thing you need to do is look at financial services logos. In this results-oriented business, having a professional logo is one powerful way to show that you can produce the results that customers demand.
Thousands of financial companies are competing for business. How can you make sure your financial company stands out? By making sure that your finance branding has one or all of the following few qualities, which communicate important facts to the customer.
Symbols of strength. Prudential, a global financial company, uses a mountain to show their strength. However, mountains are not the only object that conveys this image. Any kind of triangular shape will work, as these are associated with mountains, pyramids, and other strong, eternal objects. Strength can also be shown with blocky, thick letters and bold colors. People want to know that their financial companies are solid and established.
Symbols of movement. Most people put their money in a bank because they want it to grow. This means that in order to woo the customer, your indentity must show that the business in question is a constantly moving, constantly changing choice. Wavy designs are one powerful way to do this. Images of birds, oceans, arrows, and other things associated with movement and freedom are another possibility. As seen in our blog, Wachovia uses wave shapes within a solid square to communicate this value and helps in understanding cash flow factoring.
Symbols of user-friendliness. Many people see these companies as yet another problem in their life. They that show their company will make lives easier are bound to feel a little more inviting to customers. You can achieve this by using circular shapes in a logo. Even using rounded writing can create this effect. Rounded shapes take the sharpness off of harsh edges and create a more appealing image.
Obviously a logo using all of the above four tips would have a good chance of being busy and unattractive, which is never a good idea. However, these logos such as the Allmerica Financial Corporation that use one or two can be very appealing while expressing key ideas to the customer. People tend to be wary about where they put their money; give them good reason to believe in you with a professional logo that communicates exactly what makes your company superior to the rest.
If you decide it is the right decision for your business, contact us today about starting the investment company logo design process. You and your company will leave the process with a design that will give investors and your community something to talk about with stunning investment capital logos.
Getting investment capital is perhaps the most daunting part of starting a startup. Sometimes it seems as though there just aren't enough potential investors to supply all of the demand. On the other hand, investors also can struggle with the important decision of whom to trust their money with. How can you tell what causes will give a substantial return without experience in the world of investment? Investment capital businesses fill both voids by helping investors and businesses that are good investment risks get connected.
Investment capital businesses are in a unique position because they are marketing to two completely different crowds. On one hand, they are looking for investors; on the other hand, they are always on the search for the next hot investment. This dual purpose makes having a company brand, complete with investment capital logos, very important for companies in this field.
What makes these logos different from those of other fields? First, there is an overwhelming need to appear trustworthy and established. After all, both customer bases have an intense need to trust the company that they do business with. This can be portrayed in a variety of ways. For many companies, having a square logo shape is the best way to communicate this, because the square is a solid shape that makes people feel that a company is traditional and honest. Another way of encouraging people to trust you is by using the color blue. Blue is a reassuring color that soothes anxieties and makes people feel a little calmer.
Second, investment brand design elements often show collaboration. Because these companies are bringing together people with different, but complimentary aims, showing this partnership can be a real advantage. Many investment logos show two people or any kind of pair of figure. Even two entwined shapes can communicate this feeling. Because this truly is the heart of the investment capital business, there is no reason not to include this very positive image in your logo.
A third issue to consider with investment brands is whether to have the logo show a connection to money and finance. This may be an important addition if your name does not directly refer to your line of work. There are several ways of referring to the world of finance, such as by including images commonly associated with money or even by simply using the color green in your logo which has given rise to green branding. If you don't want an overt reference to money in the design itself, another option is to include a tagline that communicates your business's line of work. While many people have mixed feelings about small business taglines, there is no denying their ability to communicate.
Credit is a touchy subject in the United States, with many people looking suspiciously at companies having anything to do with the industry. Whether you are a company offering credit, credit score repair, or any other credit related business, you likely are negatively affected by this image. However, there are ways that you can set yourself apart from the competition and present your company as a kinder, more trustworthy choice. Logo Design and branding that communicate these values are the first step of that equation.
Color is one way to communicate strength and trustworthiness in credit logos. Blue is perhaps the most trustworthy color, and it has the additional benefit of calming people. However, green can be seen as trustworthy due to its association with the earth and the ecology movement. Earth tones are also calming and grounding. Colors such as reds and yellows gain attention, but they are very dramatic and will not be right for most credit company identities.
Shape is another important part of credit logos. Squares communicate trustworthiness and stability, which is why they are seen in so many credit identities. However, the strength conveyed by a triangle or the user-friendliness communicated by a circle can also be excellent choices, depending on your target audience and the precise mix of emotion that you want to invoke in them. If you consider the best known credit brands in the world, Mastercard and Visa, Mastercard uses circular shapes primarily while Visa uses a simple rectangle. Both are effective and have certainly helped their company in the path to success. The key commonality is that both were designed by a professional. An experienced logo designer knows how to use shapes to express messages and inspire certain feelings.
Image is also important. Whether you choose an abstract image made up of the above-discussed shapes or one that is based on an actual object, your image will be the first thing that people notice about your logo and, often, about your company. It is crucial that your image be expressive, attractive, and one of a kind. Anything less compromises your chances of success by diminishing the effectiveness of your company image.
A logo tagline or logo slogan or other explanatory wording can be particularly valuable. There are such a variety of services and an equally great variety of companies that a tagline can explain exactly what your company does. This can help to filter out inappropriate customers while inviting people who actually need your services. The tone of your tagline also expresses information about your company's style.
An important thing to remember about brandinf is that they speak in a language more effective than words. Visual aspects such as color and shape make a lasting impression on the subconscious mind that is more powerful than any other form of communication. This is why it is so important to talk to a professional designer today. SpellBrand can design a logo that sends the right message about your company and inspires customers to do business with you.
Finance is one of the most lucrative businesses on the globe, and one of the most competitive as well. There are hundreds and even thousands of businesses competing for business in London and the UK, making it more important than ever for financial companies to have professional finance logo design that are appropriate for their target audience.
However, it can be difficult to understand exactly what makes a logo work so well. There are so many different elements that can make finance logo designs work or not work, and at times the rules seem to conflict. A professional logo designer can create a work of art from just about any kind of shape, image, or colour palette, but many financial logo designs follow a few basic guidelines.
References to wealth. Why do people do business with a financial company? Because they want to be wealthier! Whether a customer is interested in investing, banking, or borrowing, they basically want to use a financial corporation to increase their personal wealth. This is why one often sees references to wealth. This could be subtle, such as a gold or silver colour to the logo. References to wealth in finance logo designs also be more overt, such a rectangular shape that is reminiscent of credit cards or a symbol that is similar to that of the pound, the euro, or the dollar.
Symbols of inclusiveness. Customers don't want to help their financial institution get wealthy; they want to be included in the gains. Because of this, it is important to have symbols of inclusiveness and unity in finance logo designs. Circles and related shapes are common symbols of inclusion, which is why so many can be seen in finance logo designs. Often, the writing in the logo is rounded to further drive home the idea that you can be included in the finance company's bright future.
Symbols of movement. Most people want to use a finance company that is progressive and constantly moving forward, so this is a key value expressed in finance logo designs. There are several ways to get this value across. The first way is by using an arrow in the logo, although these shapes often dominate logos and obscure other symbols. A less obtrusive choice is a wave or other shape that is fluid. These make people think of forward movement and flowing, which are both calming as well. If you want for people to associate your bank with the latest innovations and practices, a wavy shape may be a good way of expressing this value.
These are just a few of the symbols that are commonly associated with finance logo designs. A professional logo designer can incorporate these or any other symbols that represent your finance company into a cohesive and attractive logo that speaks directly to your target audience. Companies without finance logo designs are at a huge disadvantage in this appearance oriented market, so get one today and step into a bright future.

Two men were indicted by a Champaign County grand jury that accused them of operating a methamphetamine lab in Champaign County late last year, while two other men also face charges of rape in separate, unrelated cases.
Timothy J. Ball, 29, of Dayton, and Larry D. Jenkins, 41, of New Carlisle, were indicted this week on charges that include illegal manufacture of drugs, aggravated possession of drugs, possessing criminal tools and illegal assembly of chemicals for the manufacture of drugs. Both men are being held in the Tri-County Jail.
According to information from the Champaign County Sheriff's Office, Ball and Jenkins were arrested last month. The Champaign County and the Miami County sheriffs' offices conducted a joint investigation. Authorities were in the 12000 block of Ohio 55 in Jackson Twp. when they "located items consistent with that of a methamphetamine lab." Volunteers from the Christiansburg Fire Company and agents from the Ohio Bureau of Criminal Identification and Investigation assisted at the scene.
In an unrelated case, Uzyssie J. Landers, 40, who is being held in the Tri-County Jail, was indicted on one count each of rape and kidnapping. According to his indictment, Landers was accused of removing a woman from a residence in January and restraining her against her will.
In a separate case, Theodore E. Harper, 35, of 8292 Urbana Woodstock Pike, Woodstock, was also indicted on a single count of rape. He was accused of engaging in sexual conduct with a victim who was younger than 13 years old between January 2005 and March 2012.
Others indicted include:

•Brittany D. Gibson, 27, of 365 Henry St., Urbana, on one count each of aggravated possession of drugs and theft of drugs.
• Joshua R. Blanton, 34, of 208 Scioto St., Urbana, on one count each of possession of heroin, possessing criminal tools and endangering children.
• Terry Van Laird, 44, of 861 S. Main St., Urbana, on one count each of unauthorized use of a motor vehicle and breaking and entering.
• Donald L. Martin, 34, Tri-County Jail, on two counts each of assault and obstructing official business.
• Shaun C. Crabtree, 27, of Lena, Ohio, one count of domestic violence.
• Patricia S. Pelfrey, 40, of Cable, Ohio on two counts of insurance fraud and one count each of telecommunications fraud, theft and attempted theft.
• Tony A. Pelfrey, 42, of 1879 Yocom Road, Cable, on two counts of insurance fraud and one count each of telecommunications fraud, theft and attempted theft.
• Michael J. Goheen, 39, Tri-County Jail, on one count each of breaking and entering and petty theft.
• Scott J. Randall, 34, of 326 N. Russell St., Urbana, on one count each of breaking and entering and petty theft.
• William Kyle, 53, of West Liberty, Ohio, on two counts of inducing panic and one count disrupting public services.
