Bengals look like miniature leopards. I consider them the more interactive type of cat. They want to be part of your life and want you to be part of their's. My bengals help me with everything. No matter what I am doing, they have to be in the middle of it, making sure I'm having fun.
One of the best things about them, is that I am not allergic to them. I've had guests in my house that are very allergic to cats, but they do not have reactions to my bengals.
We offer brown(black) spotted and black sheet marbles.

Homebuyer's Assist Program
The Village of Streamwood, in cooperation with a number of other Illinois communities, now offers the Assist Program. The Assist Program provides individuals and families with an FHA/VA, 30-year, fixed rate mortgage loan, and offers cash assistance on the amount borrowed, to qualified homebuyers seeking to purchase a home in Streamwood. The cash assistance may be used to offset some or all of the home loan's down payment or closing costs. The Assist Program minimizes the amount of money you need, on hand, to purchase your home.
The program is open to individuals and families, who meet income and
purchase price requirements.
Qualified borrowers must not have owned a home in three years. They
must qualify
for the mortgage loan, and use the home as their principal residence.
The program cannot be used to refinance an existing loan.

First to ReviewNov 11, 2013Apple Tree Inn was the site for my birthday getaway this year. It was a little run down but overall I really enjoyed my stay. There is a pool and a definite "inn" feel. There are restaurants across the street and it's a short drive into town. Great for the price if you don't have high expectations for a hotel.

Welcome smlozier!
My name is Christine and I work at The Home Depot in Atlanta. Building a bed is not only economical, it is a fun project! How wonderful will it be to say 'Yes, I made that!'? So let's get started!
Here is a list of the things you will need. The measurements are for a standard queen size bed which is 5 feet wide by 6.5 feet long. Make sure to measure you mattress first, just in case it is different.
2 two-by-four wooden boards measuring 5 feet long
2 two-by-four wooden boards measuring 6.5 feet long
3 two-by-four wooden boards measuring 4.5 feet long
Power drill
Power saw
2 thick sheets of plywood measured 5 feet wide by 6.5 feet long
Blocks of wood, 6 inches tall by 5 inches wide for feet
Once you have everything on your list, it's time to start building! Remember to be safe while operating power tools. Wearing protective eye wear is highly recommended.
Here is your step by step guild to building your brand new bed:
1. You should build the bed in the location where it will be located when it is done. Lay out the 2 five-foot boards and the 2 6.5 foot boards in a rectangle on the floor. Stand the boards up on their most narrow sides. Screw the 4 pieces together at the 4 corners.
2 Now you are going to create the top support system of the bed frame. For this part you are going to be working with the 3 4.5 foot boards. Starting at the bottom of your frame place one board, wide side down, 1.5 foot up from the bottom and nail each end to the base. Next, lay the second board flat on its wide side and nail it down 3.5 foot up from the bottom. Lastly, lay the last board down on its wide side and nail it 5 feet up from the bottom.
3 Then flip the frame over. If you would like additional support you can nail or screw in a large sheet of plywood to the measurements of the frame. Attach the legs to each corner of the frame on the bottom.
4 Flip the frame back over. Screw or nail the second sheet of plywood on top of the supporting boards. Make sure to secure it to each board as well as the frame boards along the edges.
That's it!
Don't forget to paint or stain your new bed. It will not only make it look really nice, it will keep it looking nice for years to come.
Good luck with your project!
Let us know if we can help with anything else,

Great Discussions 2009
April 30 - June 4, 2009
The Global Affairs Center at Shoreline Community College hosted a series of discussions on current foreign policy issues on six consecutive Thursday evenings, beginning April 30, 2009.
The format was built around Great Decisions, a publication prepared annually by the Foreign Policy Association (FPA) of New York; and containing several pages of thoughtful briefing material on each issue.
The themes and facilitators were:
April 30 Rising Global Powers. [Staser Holcomb, U.S. Navy (retired)] Since the end of the cold war, the U.S. has emerged as the world's predominant power. However, in the 21st century some rapidly developing countries have become increasingly influential. Who are these rising powers? Will their emergence change the global balance of power? How will the U.S. react?
May 7 Energy and Global Economy. [Bob Francis, Shoreline Community College] Rising energy prices, driven by instability in key producing regions such as the Middle East and increasing demand from developing countries, are affecting the global economy. What are the potential consequences of huge wealth transfers to oil-exporting states? Are there any realistic alternative energy scenarios on the horizon?
May 14 Afghanistan and Pakistan. [Larry Fuell, Shoreline Community College] Newfound hopes for stability in Iraq have shifted the U.S. military focus back to Afghanistan and Pakistan, one of the most volatile border regions in the world. What impact will this renewed interest have on the two states as well as on U.S. defense strategy?
May 21 Cuba on the Verge. [Carlos Lazo, Cuban refugee and activist] Since Fidel Castro handed over the presidency of Cuba to his brother, Raul, in early 2008, signs of greater economic openness have led to much speculation. Will Raul seek to reopen ties with the U.S.? What role will Cuba's American exiles play in shaping a post-Castro Cuba?
May 28 The Global Food Supply. [Brady Walkinshaw, Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation] Global prices for food staples have risen dramatically, resulting in protests and unrest around the world. What factors are driving prices up, and can they be tamed? What will the political fallout be for governments that fail to act, and what role can global institutions play?
June 4 Universal Human Rights. [Bruce Kochis, University of Washington-Bothell] As the Universal Declaration of Human Rights celebrates its 60th anniversary, events in the Balkans, Sudan and Myanmar continue to challenge its idealism, while raising new questions about the prospects for humanitarian interventions. Do human rights transcend national borders and customs? Is the definition of human rights changing?

Seven days a week, SunDazzle Tanning welcomes customers to choose their own bronzing adventures by offering three levels of UV tanning, custom airbrush spray tans, and an impressive supply of indoor-tanning lotions. Traditional tanning beds and booths allow customers to bask standing or lying down, and each machine offers facial lamps to ensure an even, all-over glow from head to heel. The shop's staff is trained and certified by Smart Tan International, allowing them to relate important tips and techniques, such as how to maintain a new hue or how to ace the tanning portion of the SAT.
From their perch near Syracuse University, Studio FX's team of hairstylists, nail artists, and wax technicians have beautified locals for more than 35 years. Their specialty hair services include highlights, hair extensions, updos, and Brazilian blowouts, which leave hair sleeker and more manageable for up to five months. Apart from hair, they paint nails, apply make-up, wax, and lengthen eyelashes with extensions.
The friendly staff at Garbo's Salon Spa & Tanning Center works to darken human hides using state-of-the-art UV beds and professional spray-tanning equipment. Clients can walk or sock-slide across hardwood floors to one of three private chambers named for Caribbean locales, where they'll slip into a bed or booth to bronze under UV light for up to 12 sun-kissed minutes. Alternatively, a professional airbrush tan swiftly tints bodies with beach-ready hues without recourse to coconut-colored Crayolas. In addition, the knowledgeable staff installed at Garbo's curvaceous brushed-metal reception desk can help answer clients' bronzing questions or divulge the most ray-stealing tanning pose.
Aesthetician Kris Guglielmo doles out spa services from a corner of Fortunato's European Hair Design that operates under the moniker Nouvelle Skin Spa. As Eufora-trained stylists curl, trim, and color hair in the salon area, Kris beautifies complexions with permanent makeup, skincare, and waxing services. During customized facials, Kris employs exfoliating scrubs and chemical peels to remove traces of dead skin cells and dissolve grime. Nourishing masks finish off services, hydrating faces more thoroughly then a broken diver's helmet.
By using products packed with organic ingredients, the staff at Vie de Bella Salon makes its menu of head-to-toe beauty treatments as healthy as a habit of running marathons. On the salon floor, stylists tame frizzy tresses with nontoxic hair-straightening treatments from Paul Brown Hawaii and add final touches to new cuts with Alterna styling products. They add vibrancy to hair by rendering highlights and single-process color with the Keune color line and add removable feather and multicolored hair extensions—ideal for special events or trying to get noticed in a crowd of peacock salesmen. Away from the salon floor, technicians bronze skin with organic airbrush tans, customizing the color to match each client and contouring bodies with blue-based organic solutions that last for 7–10 days. Manicures and spa pedicures with OPI polish round out the menu of treatments like the round edges manicurists file onto everything they own.
When clients visit DeJon's Hair Design, they aren't getting just another haircut. The salon staff meticulously creates classic and modern haircuts that benefit each client's face shape and grooming routine. Stylists fade gray hairs on men with a five-minute color treatment, and add highlights to women's locks. The spa side of the business offers relaxation with Manuka honey facials and mani-pedis.

First impression on unpacking the Q702 test unit was the solid feel and clean, minimalist styling.
Electronics news site Engadget.com has resolved a dispute with Microsoft in which the software giant sent a letter demanding Engadget remove screen shots concerning the future of Windows mobile software, according to the founder of Weblogs, Engadget's parent company.
The letter, which Microsoft also sent to other Web sites that posted the item, suggested Microsoft is attempting to crack down on those who use content that the company considers proprietary. Apple Computer recently had a similar response to unauthorized publication of future product information, filing suit Jan. 4 against the owner and the editor of Apple fan site Think Secret.
"We have been talking to the people at Microsoft and we've basically worked it out. We're not making any changes to the article," said Jason Calacanis, founder of Weblogs, Engadget.com's parent company. Engadget did not steal any information and was simply reporting on information that it had found elsewhere on the Web, he said.
"At least in the mobile group (of Microsoft), they know that if they have issues, they can talk to us," Calacanis said.
The item, under the heading "Sneak Peek at Windows Mobile 2005 (Magneto)" contained a screen shot and brief article about a future mobile version of Windows, along with a link to an item at Windows fan site Neowin.com. The Engadget item, posted on Jan. 5, said the operating system would be previewed by Microsoft President and Chief Software Architect Bill Gates at the International Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas that day. It was not, and has not yet been previewed.
On Jan. 18, Engadget received a letter from a law firm representing Microsoft. The letter, a copy of which was posted on Calacanis's own weblog, said the news item "includes material which is in violation of Microsoft's intellectual property rights" and that "content currently residing within your computer system infringes on the trademark rights of Microsoft Corporation." It identifies the infringing content as screen shots of Windows Mobile 2005. The letter requests that the Web sites remove the information and warns, "you may otherwise be liable for trademark infringement, trade secret misappropriation, and/or other remedies at law, including civil and criminal penalties."
After Calacanis posted the letter and his own comments on his weblog, he was contacted by Robert Scoble, a blogger who works at Microsoft, who introduced him to other Microsoft employees for a discussion, Calacanis said.
Neowin, as well as smart phone information Web site Modaco.com, removed their news items after receiving similar communications from Microsoft. Administrators of those sites could not immediately be reached for comment.
In response to a request for comment, Microsoft said legal requests not to post proprietary material are common in the industry.
"In this particular case, it is important to note the information in question was comprised of stolen images that were obtained illegally from a Microsoft server. While many sites cooperated fully and immediately removed these images, given the viral nature of these illegally obtained images, we were required to take additional steps," Microsoft said in a prepared statement. "It is our preference to address these issues through personal contact and when we cannot, to do so in a respectful manner," the statement said.
Calacanis said this was the first significant case of Engadget receiving such a letter. He fears such tactics will have a "chilling effect" on smaller Web sites that post information about products and industry news.
"They're trying to go after individuals who they don't think will have the wherewithal to handle these kinds of situations," Calacanis said. Weblogs, based in New York and Santa Monica, California, operates 70 weblog sites.
First impression on unpacking the Q702 test unit was the solid feel and clean, minimalist styling.
For work use, Microsoft Word and Excel programs pre-installed on the device are adequate for preparing short documents.
The Fujitsu LifeBook UH574 allowed for great mobility without being obnoxiously heavy or clunky. Its twelve hours of battery life did not disappoint.
The screen was particularly good. It is bright and visible from most angles, however heat is an issue, particularly around the Windows button on the front, and on the back where the battery housing is located.
My first impression after unboxing the Q702 is that it is a nice looking unit. Styling is somewhat minimalist but very effective. The tablet part, once detached, has a nice weight, and no buttons or switches are located in awkward or intrusive positions.

...To what degree should Native Americans be allowed to continue these long-held [harvesting] traditions on what are now protected park lands?
It's a question that has long dogged the National Park Service, which is trying to exempt Indian tribal members but continue to constrain other harvesters, according to documents released through the Freedom of Information Act. ...
The group that sprang the records, Public Employees for Environmental Responsibility, a Washington, D.C.-based nonprofit, opposes harvesting exemptions on national park lands, calling the proposed change a slippery and dangerous slope. ...
"Unfortunately, the NPS regulations prohibit gathering by tribes," [NPS Director Jon Jarvis] said. "I think that is wrong. I know that the traditions practiced by the tribes have never broken. It is my mission to fix the problem during my time as Director." ...

Silverton 33 Sport Coupe
Related Articles
All Access
To expand the 33 Sport Coupe's sleeping capacity, there's a convertible lounge to starboard. If you want an easy place to stash the linens, just pull out the drawers in the base of the port sofa. Thanks to the immense VistaAire power sunroof, you'll feel like you're sleeping under the stars.
Forward to port, the galley has everything you'll need to whip up lunch, but don't spill anything, because the Corian countertop isn't fiddled. Also, there's carpet in the sink cabinet, mold waiting to happen.
For outstanding access, a removable panel in the galley sole opens up to let you get to the water heater and offers enough open space to stow bulk items such as paper towels or cases of beer. Limber holes are coated in gel coat, but the bulkhead should have been finished better. There was a rough edge on one side. Silverton says it will be finished cleanly in the future. Check on your walkthrough.
Aft, the engine compartment hatch and afore-mentioned aft sliding section of the sole let you get to anything you need, no small feat in a 33' boat. There's a nonslip walkway between the engines, which are installed with standard mounts to the marine-plywood-cored stringers. All fuel and water lines are double-clamped and wires are secured in screwed-in tiewraps. Aft, all three batteries are in plastic hold-down trays in a spot where you could actually remove one without slipping a disc.
Out in the cockpit, when I first lifted the large lazarette hatch, I assumed I had found a negative because I thought the hatch had no means of securing it in the "up" position. Then I found a strap with a snap on the end to secure the hatch to the transom. What did I expect? The 33 Sport Coupe was designed by real boaters.
Extra Point: If you were a 10-year-old when sedan-style boats were popular in the 1960s, Silverton figures the 33 Sport Coupe is the boat for you. The average age of a Silverton owner is 53 years old.

A bizarre little drama is going on right now in the world of crop circles. A fake video designed to bolster belief in the supposed paranormal origin of crop circles has been making the rounds on the Internet, igniting both indignant recriminations and spirited defenses. This matter may seem extraneous to issues involved in Thrive—until you realize that the fake video controversy directly concerns a website called BLTResearch.com, which is one of the Thrive movie's go-to sources for the crop circle nonsense that appears so prominently in the first part of the film.

Looking at the number "search results" for some of our keywords there must be a whole lot of webmasters out there sitting around scratching their heads right now. We ranked number 2 - 5 for one search term that was delivering around 30 million results - Currently it's about 18 million results and we are in the group that is not showing up - so did Google loose 12 millions sites?
Our site has been stable until the last week and a half - we drop from the results for a week so I make changes and we come back. Then we drop for 24 hours and then back - right now we are gone again.

A three way tie (well, almost)
Unfortunately I didn't happen to have three different six megapixel digital SLR's for this test (I would have liked to compare the Kodak DCS 760 but couldn't get hold of one in time). Instead we rounded up the Fujifilm S1 Pro and (purely from an academic point of view, still no news on a Pro D-SLR from Canon) the Canon EOS-D30.
Nikon D1x vs. Fujifilm S1 Pro (both at 6 megapixels)
Lenses used: D1x (Nikkor 17-35mm F2.8 AF-S @ 35 mm), S1 Pro (Nikkor 17-35mm F2.8 AF-S @ 35 mm)
Nikon D1x ISO 125, 1/1.3s, F10, sRGB |
Fujifilm S1 Pro ISO 320, 1/3s, F11 |
Colour balance, as you can see, is very similar. I'll give the edge (just) to the D1x, to my eyes (and on my calibrated monitor) its colours are closer to those in the scene. Clearly the D1x has more resolution than the S1 Pro, that's no real surprise, the D1x has 5.33 million pixels on its sensor, the S1 Pro only 3.3. The theory says that the S1 Pro has more vertical resolution than the D1x but the proof of the pudding (above) shows that the D1x's far higher horizontal resolution more than makes up for that. Having said that, for a camera which sells for around half the price the S1 Pro puts up a pretty good fight.
Nikon D1x (at 2.6 megapixels) vs. Canon EOS-D30 (at 3.1 megapixels)
"No fair!", I can hear EOS-D30 owners (and Canon) crying... And no, it's not fair test of resolution, the D1x will be downsampling over 4000 horizontal pixels to generate the 2.6 megapixel image, but just for the sake of it here's a comparison of the D1x at its medium resolution setting against the D30 at its highest resolution:
Lenses used: D1x (Nikkor 17-35mm F2.8 AF-S @ 35 mm), D30 (Canon 17-35mm L F2.8 @ 35 mm)
Nikon D1x @ Size Medium ISO 125, 1/1.3s, F10, sRGB |
Canon EOS-D30 ISO 100, 1/1.6s, F10 |
Clearly the D1x's additional pixels serve it well, medium size images are sharp and detailed without a hint of noise or artifact. It goes to show how much more detail there COULD BE at the sizes even the best digital SLR's output as their native resolution. Interesting to note the difference in hue between D1x and EOS-D30 for the orange and red crayons (last crop). Obviously the D1x got the colour right here.
Higher sensitivities
Below is a comparison of noise levels at different ISO equiv. sensitivities, we've started at ISO 200 (or ISO 320 in the case of the S1 Pro - as this is its lowest sensitivity) and end at ISO 1600.
Lenses used: D1x / S1 Pro (Nikkor 17-35mm F2.8 AF-S @ 35 mm), D30 (Canon 17-35mm L F2.8 @ 35 mm)
Noise levels are very similar for the D1x and EOS-D30, the S1 Pro starts with more noise (at ISO 320) but maintains approximately the same noise as the others all the way through to ISO 1600. It's fair to say that all of these cameras are usable up to ISO 400 without any (noticeable) noise, at ISO 800 with caution and at ISO 1600 in extreme situations.
Notable improvement: Yes, there's noise at higher ISO's but look, it's random noise, not pattern noise as we saw on the D1. This will be of great relief to most D1 owners / users as they will appreciate how difficult it is to remove pattern noise, but how natural and almost 'film grain'-like ranomd noise is.

Years of Citing Articles
I propose a common framework that combines three different paradigms in machine learning: generative, discriminative and imitative learning. A generative probabilistic distribution is a principled way to model many machine learning and machine perception problems. Therein, one provides domain specific knowledge in terms of structure and parameter priors over the joint space of variables. Bayesian networks and Bayesian statistics provide a rich and flexible language for specifying this knowledge and subsequently refining it with data and observations. The final result is a distribution that is a good generator of novel exemplars.

The Dinosaur Park, located 20 minutes outside of Austin, is a fun, outdoor nature park filled with dinosaur replicas, perfect for a family outing.
Yes!!!! Dino enthuasits - this is a MUST see! The Dinosaur Park in Cedar Creek (just 25 minutes east of Austin) is a fun filled afternoon for families.
Consider this a museum, only outdoors. Clipboard containing a fun scavenger hunt in hand, we set off on our nature walk through the gorgeous wooded area of Bastrop County.
Realistic life-sized dinosaur replicas are nestled in the woods, creating a fun effect as you round the bend and see a big dino!! My 3 year old was thrilled each time he saw one. And I'd be lying if I didn't say that this mom was awe-struck a time or two to see one peering out at me.
We enjoyed the plaques for each of the dinosaurs we came upon - some we had never heard before. The facts were detailed enough to interest my big kids, yet not too scientific that they became bored.
And we really enjoyed the scavenger hunt, telling us to look for fossils, giant dragonflies in the trees or other fun objects. They were challenging and fun to learn about too.
We all stepped into the fossilized footstep imprint taken from Glenrose, Texas.
When we completed the nature walk, the kids enjoyed digging for fossils in the 2 Dino Digs. They also have a great playscape and swings. Take a picnic lunch - there are plenty of shaded picnic tables to relax at too.
And lastly - tons of fun photo pops! Who can resist a picture in a giant T-Rex's head?
The Dinosaur Park is family-owned and maintained. They have a unique story behind the creation of the park and you can see how lovingly they take care of it. Every thing from the dinosaurs to the path is extremely well-done and even thought it has been open for more than 7 years, it looks brand-new.
During the summer, the park is open everyday, but in the off-season, it is just on weekends and school holidays. With the beautiful fall weather, this is the perfect time to enjoy a nice walk in the park....with a few friendly dinosaurs!
Other Fun Things to Do in Austin:
Texas Travel Facts for The Dinosaur Park:
Location: 893 Union Chapel Rd. Cedar Creek, TX
Hours: Saturday & Sunday: 10:00 am - 4:00 pm (weather permitting)
Admission: $7.00 (under 24 months free)
Recommended Time: 1 hour

IGF signaling defects as causes of growth failure and IUGR
Trends in Endocrinology & Metabolism, Volume 19, Issue 6, 1 August 2008, Pages 197-205
Jürgen Klammt, Roland Pfäffle, Haim Werner and Wieland Kiess
AbstractA substantial portion of children born small for gestational age (SGA) fail to catch up height, despite normal or even elevated insulin-like growth factor (IGF1) serum levels. In most cases, the etiology of the apparent IGF1 resistance is regarded as idiopathic. However, the recent identification of human IGF1 and IGF1 receptor (IGF1R) mutations, as well as information obtained from transgenic animals, points to a strong genetic component being of pivotal importance in the development of growth retardation. These findings direct attention to molecules downstream of the IGF1R, which have both growth-promoting and, to a lesser extent, metabolic functions. Therefore, defects in these molecules are likely to participate in the etiology of human SGA.

SummaryCancer cachexia is characterized by a significant reduction in body weight resulting predominantly from loss of adipose tissue and skeletal muscle. Cachexia causes reduced cancer treatment tolerance and reduced quality and length of life, and remains an unmet medical need. Therapeutic progress has been impeded, in part, by the marked heterogeneity of mediators, signaling, and metabolic pathways both within and between model systems and the clinical syndrome. Recent progress in understanding conserved, molecular mechanisms of skeletal muscle atrophy/hypertrophy has provided a downstream platform for circumventing the variations and redundancy in upstream mediators and may ultimately translate into new targeted therapies.

Trends in Endocrinology & Metabolism, Volume 17, Issue 2, 1 March 2006, Pages 72-78
Ana C.P. Thirone, Carol Huang and Amira Klip
AbstractIn type 2-diabetes and impaired glucose tolerance, the muscle, fat and liver become resistant to insulin, and recent developments place dysregulation of insulin receptor substrate (IRS) expression and activation at the center of such defects. IRS1 and IRS2 are the major insulin receptor substrates leading to glucose homeostasis, and have distinct and overlapping roles in diverse organs. The majority of the published literature in this field suggests that IRS1 is the major substrate leading to stimulation of glucose transport in muscle and adipose tissues, whereas in liver, IRS1 and IRS2 have complementary roles in insulin signaling and metabolism.

Graphical Abstract
► Fbxo40 mediates IGF1-induced degradation of IRS1 in skeletal muscle ► Fbxo40 expression is muscle and differentiation specific ► Knockdown of Fbxo40 induces hypertrophy in skeletal myofibers ► Fbxo40 knockout enhances growth and muscle mass, associated with higher IRS1 levels
- Insulin-like growth factor 1 (IGF1) induces skeletal muscle hypertrophy by activating the IGF1R/IRS1/PI3K/Akt pathway. However the effect of IGF1 in differentiated muscle is limited by IRS1 ubiquitination and proteasome-mediated breakdown. In skeletal muscle, IGF1R activation sensitizes IRS1 to degradation, and a screen for the responsible E3 ligase identified Fbxo40 as mediating this rapid turnover of IRS1, since IRS1 loss can be rescued by knockdown of Fbxo40. In biochemical assays, an SCF E3 ligase complex containing Fbxo40 directly ubiquitinates IRS1, and this activity is enhanced by increased tyrosine phosphorylation of IRS1. Fbxo40 is muscle specific in expression and is upregulated during differentiation. Knockdown of Fbxo40 induces dramatic hypertrophy of myofibers. Mice null for Fbxo40 have increased levels of IRS1 and demonstrate enhanced body and muscle size during the growth phase associated with elevated IGF1 levels. These findings establish an important means of restraining IGF1's effects on skeletal muscle.

5 Steps To A Happy Valentine's Day For Single Women
Make your Valentine's Day about love in general instead of just about romantic love. It's your holiday and it's possible to adjust it so you feel strong instead of weak, happy instead of sad, loved instead of lonely.
You have a choice.
More from YourTango: Why Was The Bachelor Finale So Gut-Wrenching For This Life Coach?
Option 1: You can choose to whine and cry with negative, bitter single women and justify why you're happy to be single so that you may at some point believe it yourself (I realize there are some of us who really are happy single) or commiserate as to why all men are the same and relationships don't work.
Option 2: Or you can choose to be happy single and create a new, fun tradition that touches all the important people in your life with your sincere gesture of gratitude and leaves everyone with great memories of Valentine's Day.
Note: this choice will also set you up for creating the positive, healthy energy that attracts positive, healthy men.
The choice is yours.
I can't tell you how to accomplish the first, dismal choice because I'm a positive woman and avoid negative, bitter women regardless of relationship status. But I can certainly share 5 great steps for the second, more empowering choice of making this your favorite holiday with a fun, new tradition.
5 Steps To A Happy Valentine's Day For Single Women
Step 1: Realize the Valentine's Day tradition was started in the 14th Century and (thank goodness) things have evolved since then.
Although the holiday is great for sales with florists, candy makers, restaurants, greeting card companies and jewelry stores, you can make it whatever you want it to be. And being a positive, single woman myself, I choose to make it fun, girlie and powerful.
Step 2: Avoid single toxic girl friends on Valentine's Day. They complain about men and being single and you don't want to be a part of that if you are truly interested in creating fun, empowering new traditions for your holiday.
Hang out with positive-minded women instead. If you don't know any, we can fix that a bit later but for now, avoid the toxic ones. We have to surround ourselves with people who appreciate us or it's really challenging to appreciate ourselves and that's vital for our personal happiness.
Learn how to cultivate positive female friendships here.
Step 3: Make a list of your friends; family members, hair stylist, favorite grocery store clerk, and anyone else whose day you can brighten without irritating their significant other (keep in mind that if a significant other is irritated by this kind gesture, they have their own issues).
More from YourTango: How The Silent Treatment Wreaks Havoc On Your Relationship
Buy a box of classy Valentine's Day cards that are versatile and not just about romantic love (although your UPS man may appreciate one). The cards can even be blank inside and don't have to be specifically for the heart-shaped holiday. Keep Reading...

Earl Thomas is the small guy in a vary large Seattle Seahawks secondary.
Don't let that fool you. . .At 5'10″, on stilts, and about 200 pounds, soaking wet wearing sponges, he looks out of place when the defense is in the huddle.
Once the ball is snapped Earl uses his great instincts to get himself into possition to be around the football. Then, Thomas uses his 4.4 speed to close on the ball quickly.
When the ball comes down, Thomas is usually the first to meet it. Not because he's taller, but because the young man can jump. I'm just saying, he wouldn't be rejected when trying to dunk the football over the cross-bar like some people in the division.
Vernon, please don't get angry, you'll always have your jump shot.
To dunk or not to dunk, that is the questionTalk about being stuck between a rock and a hard place.
Once the ball is snapped Earl uses his great instincts… (AP Photo/Ed Zurga)
On Monday morning, just hours before the Seahawks took on the Packers at CenturyLink Field in Seattle, Washington, Earl Thomas' significant other, Nina "Colada" (as she refers to herself on her twitter page) went into labor.
Earl was faced with two choices; Should he stay with Nina and welcome his new daughter into the world, or should he join his teammates, in front of a national audience, to take on the heavily favored Green Bay Packers?
Earl decided to play. That's commitment to team if I've ever seen it.
Hours before the game, Earl tweeted about his daughters impending arrival.
Kaleigh Rose Thomas came into this world at 5:17 PM PST, roughly 15 minutes before the opening kickoff. By the second quarter of the game, mommy and baby were watching Earl Thomas and the Seattle Seahawks defense dominate the Packers.
At 6:35 Nina tweeted from her hospital room.
Kaleigh and I watching Daddy put in work against GreenBay!!!! #Seahawks!!!!!!
After the game Earl Tweeted:
Now What…My baby girl…this is a special night for me..God is great….
I am very happy for the young man, I really am, though I am left hoping this will not change they way he plays on the field.
I remember a former Seahawk, Aaron Curry, came out of the gates firing for the first few weeks of the regular season. The 12th man thought they might have a very special linebacker on their hands.
I think football is Earl's passion, he strives to be the best,
Then, Maxwell Curry was born and Aaron changed as a player.
Suddenly, he was less focused on football during the week and his play suffered. His big hits turned into missed arm tackles.
His shooting the gaps became out of position on most plays.
I'm not saying Earl is going to go down the same path as Aaron did, and become soft both mentally and physically, but I am saying that I am a bit gun-shy from the experience.
Truthfully, I think Earl is a much stronger young man that Aaron was. The fact that Earl missed the birth of his first born shows that he loves the game of football.
Earl knows that in order for him to be the Pro Bowl player he has been, he will need to continue his focus.
I think football is Earl's passion, he strives to be the best, I would not be surprised to see him have the best game of his career this week in St. Louis.
On Monday, Earl Thomas almost won the game for the Seahawks when he stripped the ball out of Cedric Benson's hands near the goal line.
Unfortunately, Packers Center, Jeff Saturday was there to fall on the ball.
Time will tell how being a father effects Earl Thomas. From what I have seen out of him though I expect nothing but professionalism from him in the future.
Go Seahawks!

CHARLESTON, W.Va. -- Sissonville High School students improved their scores on standardized tests so dramatically within one year that Principal Ron Reedy's colleagues joke with him that the school should be investigated.
To which he says, "Bring it on."
In 2012, only 27 percent of Sissonville juniors achieved mastery in their reading scores on the WESTEST 2. This year, 60 percent of the school's 11th-graders hit the mark.
In math, the number of proficient 11th-grade students increased from 33 percent to 52 percent.
"With these tests, if you see a 3 to 5 percent increase, it's considered significant," Reedy said. "I'm so proud of our kids."
The number of freshmen at Sissonville proficient in reading jumped 15 percentage points, while freshmen proficient in math increased from 26 percent to 47 percent.
Sissonville is one of only two Kanawha County high schools considered a "success school" -- the highest ranking designated under the state Department of Education's new accountability system.
More than 60 percent of Sissonville students are now meeting grade-level expectations, according to data released last week. The state average for proficiency levels at high schools is about 45 percent.
In addition, the school is significantly closing its achievement gap, which means its low-performing students are catching up to the high performers.

German automaker Volkswagen AG today is expected to unveil a key signpost in its road map to building cars and increasing sales in the United States.
Hamilton County officials have been optimistic the route runs through Chattanooga.
But an auto industry publication put Limestone County, Ala., near Huntsville as the leader in the race for the investment that could reach near $1 billion and eventually create 2,000 jobs. Michigan also was mentioned as a plant site.
Europe's biggest auto company by production is to end a monthslong search for a site to locate a new assembly plant designed to help it quadruple sales in the U.S. by 2018.
Chattanooga officials were upbeat Monday about the city's chances to land the plant at Enterprise South industrial park.
Wayne Cropp, who heads the Chattanooga's Enterprise Center, said the results of landing the VW assembly plant would be widespread to the area's economy.
"If we get the win and are able to attract VW here, I think the implications aren't fully realized," he said.
VW's strategy is to sell 800,000 cars in the U.S. That includes making cars in America, something the company hasn't done since it closed a plant in Pennsylvania in 1988.
On Monday, Automotive News reported that a cheaper replacement for the Volkswagen Passat developed primarily for the U.S. likely will be assembled at the plant.
Eventually, a Jetta replacement also could be assembled there, the publication said.
Ed McCallum, an industry site consultant for McCallum Sweeney in Greenville, S.C., said if Volkswagen is going to be a stronger competitor, it needs to go to the markets it serves such as the U.S.
"They're building a fine product," he said. "They're going to do very well."
Economist Paul Taylor of the National Automotive Dealers Association said VW earlier this decade had several bad sales years, but the numbers are improving.
"They're making a significant recovery from those years of slow sales," he said. "They're moving quickly."
Stefan Jacoby, Volkswagen Group of America's president and chief executive, in April said the automaker was evaluating cost, logistics, site readiness and operational considerations as it looked at Tennessee, Alabama and Michigan.
Chattanooga marketed Enterprise South in Tyner to automotive companies, and it was a finalist last year for a Toyota Motor Co. plant that eventually went to Tupelo, Miss.
In May, U.S. Sen. Bob Corker, R-Tenn., hosted a dinner at his North Chattanooga residence for a Volkswagen delegation, state and local government officials and area business leaders.
The state delegation included Gov. Phil Bredesen, state Economic and Community Development Commissioner Matt Kisber, Labor Commissioner Jim Neeley, Revenue Commissioner Reagan Farr and Environment and Conservation Commissioner Jim Fyke.
Also included were University of Tennessee President John Petersen, U.S. Sen. Lamar Alexander, R-Tenn., Chattanooga Mayor Ron Littlefield and Hamilton County Mayor Claude Ramsey.
Volkswagen officials said the surging euro has pushed plans for a new production facility forward. The 15-nation currency has been hitting record highs in recent weeks against the U.S. dollar, making goods exported from Germany more expensive in the United States.
Volkswagen recently moved its North American headquarters from suburban Detroit to Herndon, Va., outside Washington, to bring it closer to its East Coast customer base.
Volkswagen produces VW cars and trucks and also makes vehicles under the Audi, Skoda, Seat, Lamborghini, Bentley and Bugatti names.
Mike Pare, the deputy Business editor at the Chattanooga Times Free Press, has worked at the paper for 27 years. In addition to editing, Mike also writes Business stories and covers Volkswagen, economic development and manufacturing in Chattanooga and the surrounding area. In the past he also has covered higher education.

a unique, speciality, gourmet BBQ sauce that is the personal creation of Randy Clifford ("Randawg"). After years of careful refinement, the recipe for this truly fantastic BBQ sauce was complete. Since then it has been enjoyed by many close friends and family. Randy finally began to think about marketing his sauce when he realized that everyone who tries it says it's the best BBQ sauce they have ever tasted. Over the last year, we have worked hard to bring this uniquely enjoyable sauce to the open market.
We prepare the sauce in a local kitchen here in Santa Cruz in small batches of 2 to 3,000 jars. Our product meets all regular requirements, reflecting net weight, grams, date, batch numbering, nutrition facts (per government specs), 888 number, ingredients list, UPC bar code (using our 6-digit UPC assigned code) and of course, a tamper-proof seal.
Check out Uncle Randawg's personal collection of short-cut recipes for all your BBQ favorites!
Now that the sales and marketing effort is in full-swing, the BBQ sauce is beginning to appear on many shelves. Literally every store buyer that has tasted the product has purchased it and put it right out for sale. It is now available for your enjoyment in several local supermarkets and specialty stores and many more stores are being added to the list every week. We are participating in many local and regional shows and events to help promote the product and to increase name recognition. An 888 number is provided so that customers can locate the retail outlet nearest them. Pricing is structured competitively and discounts are based on the quantity purchased.
This BBQ sauce is so good that many people use it not only on ribs and chicken, but also as a dipping sauce right out of the jar for chips, seafood or vegetables. Owned, operated and prepared locally, the sauce will be available for taste-testing at select sites. If you would like to sample this exciting new sauce, or would like to meet owner Randy Clifford and president Veronica Clifford, call 888-557-3294 for the date and location nearest you. There will be free samples and taste-testing for your enjoyment, but watch out--one taste and you'll be hooked! You won't want to barbeque with anything else!
You can order online, for yourself or for a gift.
We now have two new flavors of Uncle Randawg's BBQ Sauce: Blazing Habanero and Uncle Randawg's Mild & Sweet.
Our new tall jars contain 14 ounces of BBQ sauce. We also have a new sampler size 4.5 ounce jar.
We will also be introducing Organic versions of all four varieties--the two traditional varieties and the two new ones. Let us know if you want to receive a notification when these are available.

The down in the HG Incubator runs length wide in baffles. When I first got mine, it was bunched up in the end. One of the advantages of down UQs is that you can move the down around to improve the ability to heat an area. In my case, I worked the down lengthwise down the baffle. On the cross baffle ones (like JacksRBetter), you can force the down down into the bottom as needed, thinning out the sides, or vice versa.

Just Jeff already told you to take this little drama to PM or email, where it is more appropriate. HG already made contact with you that way and offered the remedy of your choice. Take them up on it, or don't. But we've heard enough complaints until you deal with them directly.

FW: and RE: to two worst beginnings to any email. ….sometimes its like someone lights a pack of firecrackers when this starts at the office. …next thing you know, you are 9 RE:'s and one FW: deep in a conversation about the proper use of coffee in the kitchen or who's lost an ear-ring or worse yet….(I am guilty of this one)….the people who respond with a "k" to denote that they got the email and understand, if nothing else, that we have read the last email in one of these 9-deep FW/RE email threads.
If this note seemed confusing…GREAT…so are those pesky "FW: and RE:" email threads…the point is lost and it all becomes 'noise'....
Today, I propose we get up off our rear ends and walk over to someone's desk and actually TALK to them about whatever we need to. …just thinking.

Stimulus Funds for Picher?
By Associated Press
Picher, OK – PICHER, Okla. (AP) The director of the Picher Housing Authority is looking for ways to use more than $135,000 in federal stimulus money. Residents in the town are being bought out and officials never asked for the money but the federal stimulus package included money for every active housing authority in the nation.

"Great performing receiver for the low price"
4.5 starson by craigwcg287Pros: Great performing receiver with low distortion and low cost.
Cons: Make sure your 8 ohm speakers can maintain the actual impedance above 6 ohms when the volume is cranked above 40, or else, the receiver will go into pretcction mode and shutdown, and it needs a fan on top of receiver blowing into the vent holes.
Summary: The Sherwood RX-4105 is a great performing receiver for under a $100. I put my oscilloscope on my Sherwood receiver, this receiver audio output waveform is clean and not distorted throughout audio frequency from 20 to 20,000 Hertz at 110 watt per channel audio output, and the audio output reproduces the same waveform as the line level inputs with linearity.
Correction instead of 65.55 degrees F, it's 65.55 degrees Celcius
But if you buy this receiver, make sure your 8 ohm speaker's lowest impedance is above 6 ohms throughout the audio frequency from 20 to 20,000 Hertz, or else your Sherwood receiver would shutdown as soon as you crank up the volume pass 40. If you can crank up the volume on the Sherwood receiver at 56 on FM tuner mode with the tone control set at Tone Direct, or the bass and treble control set at 0db into your 8 ohm speakers without the receiver shutting down by protection mode, then you 8 ohms speakers are OK with that Sherwood receiver, or if your Sherwood receiver shuts down, then have a qualified reputable technician to check your 8 ohm speaker?s lowest impedance. If your 8 ohm speaker?s lowest impedance is below 6 ohms, the speaker?s impedance can corrected internally or externally in order to get it above 6 ohms.
That?s what happened to my Sherwood receiver. It kept shutting down as soon as I cranked the volume pass 40 into my pair of 8 ohm 3 way speakers with 12 inch (30 cm) woofer, 6.5 inch (16.5 cm) waveguided midrange, and 1 inch (25 mm) waveguided dome tweeter that are rated at 300 watt peak or 150 watt rms. I used my oscilloscope, audio generator, and frequency counter to measure my speaker?s lowest impedance, and I found out that my 8 ohm speaker?s lowest impedance is 2.8 ohms at around the frequency of 85 Hertz, and that?s what caused my Sherwood to shutdown. I ordered some speaker crossover parts, and then I built me an external speaker impedance compensation network that corrected my 8 ohm speaker?s low impedance problem by keeping my 8 ohm speaker?s lowest impedance above 6 ohms throughout the audio frequency between 20 to 20,000 Hertz, and it also provides better equalization in sound levels.
Now I can crank up the volume at 56 with tone control set at Tone Direct on my Sherwood receiver putting out 110 watts per channel of audio output pounding my 117 square foot (10.87 sq. m) room with 128 decibels of sound pressure level (SPL) for 6 continuous hours, and my Sherwood receiver never did shutdown. 128 decibels in a 117 square foot room is an equivalent of being in a 8000 square foot (743.2 sq. m) nightclub with a 20,000 watt sound system, and it can make your ears sore with those spongy earplugs on.
I?m also running 12 feet (3.66 m) of 12 gauge speaker wire between my Sherwood receiver and my speakers. If you run speaker wires over 10 feet (3.05 m) between your 100 watt per channel receiver and your speakers, use 12 gauge speaker wire, otherwise, you would lose 2 to 3 decibels of SPL in the room, especially the audio frequencies above 10,000 Hertz. Also I?m running a 10 inch (254 mm) 55 watt AC fan on top of my Sherwood receiver blowing into the vent holes to keep my receiver cool while I have the volume cranked up to 56 for 6 continuous hours. That 10 inch 55 watt AC fan blowing into the vent holes on top of my Sherwood receiver will keep the heatsink temperature under 100 degrees Fahrenheit or 37.77 degrees Celsius with the volume cranked up to 56 for 6 continuous hour. Without that fan with the volume control set at 56, the Sherwood receiver?s heatsink temperature would climb as high as 150 degrees Fahrenheit or 65.55 degrees Celsius or higher, and that?s too hot to touch, and then the receiver?s audio output power transistors would fail. Also plug your Sherwood RX-4105 receiver in a surge protector wall outlet, because that receiver has computerized parts on the front end, or else without the surge protected wall outlet, the receiver could damage by power surge..
After I?ve done all that, my Sherwood RX-4105 receiver performed excellently without any problems.

Thanks...this was a very fine review in view of the fact what you describe mirrors exactly what I am going thru right out of the box. I put on BLUE OYSTER CULT using RSL studio monitors (3 way bass reflex w/12" woofers, 10ft 16 gauge speaker wire). I crank the bass a +10, the treble at +4...then the system shuts down when volume is at 38 or 39. I suppose this is due to the fact there is not enough reserve power to keep the receiver operating at thumping levels. I hope to get a SHERWOOD tech to speak with me on this. Many thanks for your input concerning this unit.
I'm old and limited technically. I bought this receiver to replace an old broken one. I have it set up with ADC 303AX speakers and a CD player. I cannot play CDs beyond Volume 12 without it shutting down but it plays FM radio at much higher volumes. Are my speakers (bought 1972) incompatible?
Any help appreciated .
