Since you know how to download your CSV files for your conference information, I'm going to tell you about another neat included service that you have in your account. Did you know that your conference call history is a note taking machine waiting to happen? Conference calls can often be jam packed with information and when you have multiple conferences in a single day, they all start to run together.
Our call notes system helps you keep track of the information or action items you need to take based on a conference call. Here are some of the ways our customers are using the system.
Using the Same Conference Codes
Since our codes can be used again and again, the history stores everything by the name, date, and time. Using the conference code notes system lets our customers go in and mark "call with client X" or "sales meeting".
Track Moderators
Even if it's not needed to track what the subject matter of the conference was about a lot of our customers use the notes system to keep record of who initiated the conference.
Next Steps
Once a conference is over, go to the notes section and add in the actionable items that were taken away from the conference call. You can leave yourself a to-do list based on the conferences in your account. You can also leave it as a note for your assistant or IT Manager. Let's say it is time to issue new codes on the conference line, you can leave a note for the person who manages that to prompt them to go in and make the change. "Needs new conference codes for security" is a great way to let the person who manages your conference account know that some things need to be changed.
Are you using the note taking system or is it new for you? We've found it to be beneficial for our customers as well as to how we stay organized here. How could you see yourself using the system or how are you using it?
Bonus If you have one of our toll free forwarding numbers, you also have access to this system. Keep notes on who you talked to, what you talked about or information that is contained in a saved fax. If you're going back later on to check and see if a document or phone call has been received, you can scan the notes and make sure that you've done what you need to. We use the system internally to keep track of what customers have sent us. Since we all take care of the faxes received into our office leaving a note on it also lets us know that the fax has been looked at by another operator.
Conference Calls
So you want to have a conference call? You can always start a conference call in minutes, however we suggest a bit more preparation for a conference between you and your co-workers. When inviting clients or customers to your conferences, there are a few extra things you will want to do.
First: Decide What Your Call is About
Write out what the meeting is going to be about and create an agenda, making sure to estimate how long each point will take. It's always good to give yourself 5-10 minutes of margin. Don't forget to budget time for questions.
Second: Decide Who
Once you've worked out when you want to have the call, decide who is going to be there. This is a good time to ask yourself if you'll be having a guest speaker or if you need an operator assistance.
Third: Send Your Invitations
Now that you have all of the above worked out, it's time to send out your invitations. Your email invitations should include:
Your participants are taken care of, so where will you be? The beauty of audio conferencing is that you can host a conference call from pretty much anywhere. So your only guidelines should be to conduct your conference call from a quiet place where you won't be interrupted. And—for absolute best quality—use a landline. One final suggestion: use a headset. It's much more comfortable than cradling the phone in your neck.
Use this helpful conference call checklist before you plan your next meeting:
__Choose the date and time. __Determine if you need operator assistance.__Will there be a guest speaker?__Do you need a registration page?__Do you want the conference call recorded?__Will there be a visual element requiring web conferencing?
You need to write an agenda to send to speaker and participants so the know what to expect.
__Does it have a realistic timeline?__Is there a need to have breaks? __Will there be Q&A? How long will your Q&A session be?__Do you need a different version for participants?
__Do you know how to mute your telephone?__Is the sound quality on your conference good?__Did you do a practice run to make sure that you know how to join the conference and the webinar?__Do you have a backup method of connecting in case there is a problem with your connection?

This thing that we refer to as a "bad" day is really a personal choice to let the blues rule the day. It's human nature to feel a little down sometimes but it still remains something that we can control.
When that day stretches into a few days or a week, there could be a bigger problem. We can see the light at the end of the tunnel, but it's hard to keep from getting lost in the darkness. You've been there, I've been there – so what do you do? Here are 12 ways that I refocus to get motivated.
Talk to my mom.(Also acceptable: talking to Dad) My mom gives the best advice and I love being able to sit down with her and just talk about things. Sometimes, my mom holds my hand and tells me those wonderful mom things like, "You're so special". Other times, my mom tells me to get over myself – which is usually exactly what I need to hear. Make a playlist.Grab yourself some new songs from iTunes or Amazon and make yourself a list of songs that make you tap your feet and get excited. Listen to those when you're trying to get unstuck on a task.
Stop for a few minutes.Put down your pen or iPad and step away from the keyboard. Give yourself a clean five minute break.Do something else.Stuck on a task? Put it down and come back to it later.
Make a list. When all your upcoming tasks are swirling in your head, it can feel a little overwhelming, so write them down. Cross them out as you get them done. You'll feel better.Change the way I'm trying to complete a task. Trying to write a blog post on your computer and it's just not working? Grab a pen and a notebook and try going that route. You'd be surprised how often I can be found jotting down notes or whole posts on a piece of paper.Look at something positive. Go back and remind yourself of something that was challenging, but you were able to get through and come out on top. That can sometimes help you remember that you've been down this road before – and you made it through. Find something inspirational to read.Ask for help. Seriously, there's nothing wrong with this. I think we'd all be a little less frayed like a knot and spend less time rubbing our faces if we could just do this.15 Minute Facebook break (No, seriously) Just do something to make your mind not think about work related things. Scroll your news feed and talk to a couple of people. Give yourself a little mental break.Change your location. Sitting in the office trying to write a blog post? Grab your purse and go get some coffee. Change the scenery and get busy.Go for a drive. Now, don't just walk out in the middle of your day at the office – that's going to have an opposite effect, I suppose. Instead, take a little detour on your way home, or if you have the luxury to make your own schedule, just put some things on hold and get in the car. Roll down the windows, turn up the radio, and let go.Turn off your electronic devices. Give yourself at least 30 minutes every day without a notification or email notice. The really bad thing about email notifications is that we feel pressured to respond right away. It's totally acceptable to read a book and relax when you're at home – the email will wait.
Hey, we all get the blues. I'm not immune to it, none of us really are – so what kind of things do you do to get yourself feeling, well, like yourself again?

Inflection is a fancy way to describe your tone of voice when speaking. It's not just the volume level that you may speak at but also the tone, pace, pitch, and cadence at which the words of a presentation come out of your mouth.
In order to host a successful presentation on a conference call, you usually only have one tool – and it's the way you speak. Your voice will get participants to tune in, listen carefully, and stay engaged throughout the call.
If you're finding that participants are less than engaged or everyone seems to be waking up from a long nap when it's time for Q&A, maybe it's time to evaluate the way you speak to make some improvements on your voice inflection.
Where's the emphasis?
Listen to a recording and determine where you are putting the emphasis on your words. Are you putting the emphasis on the end of all your sentences? If you are – it's not a good thing, as it triggers your audience to think that the statement is a question. The proper emphasis can direct people to focus on strength, confidence, and clue into important parts of the conversation.
Do you speak softly?
While volume isn't the most important thing about voice inflection, it is an important aspect of making a great presentation. There are a lot of distractions around the participants and the last thing that you want to do it make them have to work to pay attention to you. Your voice should command the attention of those listening – even the ones who are completely focused on Facebook.
Are you speaking too fast?
If you're blowing through the words like you're that guy from those 1980s Matchbox car commercials (Google it), you're talking too fast. When it comes to making a presentation, people don't want to have to work to listen to you – they want their experience to be easy and enjoyable. If they are struggling to keep up with you they are probably just going to tune you out. You want a natural cadence that best reflects a conversational tone.
Improving voice inflection is not something that can be done overnight. If you think you need to work on your speech patterns you'll want to start as soon as possible by recording your next conference call and evaluating your speech.
How have you improved your voice inflection? What are your tips for improving tone, cadence, and the overall quality of a speech?
Business Communications | Conference Calls
Once you've been asked to present at a conference or event the first question you need to ask yourself is: What kind of presentation can I do?
While making your outline, you also have to figure out what you want your audience to do after your presentation is over. Are you just trying to give them useful information? Is it one of those cases where you are trying to make a sale? There are four different types of presentations you can give and their purpose is to invoke different reactions.
Informative Speeches
These are the most common types of presentations and are used to present research. A student who is defending a thesis or a non-profit group that did a research study will use informative speeches to present their findings.
Demonstrative Speeches
These will show you how to do something. In introduction to communication classes, these speeches are usually How to Make Cakes kinds of speeches and include different pictures and steps to the process.
Persuasive Speeches
This kind of speech is trying to change the way you think about a subject or issue. If you've come to a health conference you may find yourself listening to why you should change your eating habits or stop drinking.
Inspirational Speeches
These speeches are designed to make your audience move. Also considered a "motivational" speech, this is designed to encourage participants to go after their goals, whatever they may be. Inspirational speeches will tell stories and the hope is that the audience will feel an emotional connection to the topic. These are also a great way to get the audience's attention.
Think about Apple CEO Steve Jobs and the presentations he gave when he introduced a new product. He gives you information, he shows you how to use a new product, tells you how you can use the product to solve a problem, makes you understand why you need it, and closes by letting you touch and feel the product. He lets the entirety of his speech stand for decision making and then by letting you get your hands on the new iSomething, you see why the new product will help you.
In truth, the best presentations will embody a little bit of each one of these kinds, but you can take a specific type to help move you along the right path.
Ready to try out one of these presentations in front of your co-workers? Sign up with AccuConference and one of our event planners will help you take these presentation types to a whole new level.

It's October which brings about the winds of change. The air is turning cooler, the leaves will begin to change color, and budding authors around the globe are about to change into energy drink consuming plunderers of the keyboard.
That's right novelists, it's almost NaNoWriMo time. I've partaken in the grueling marathon of 50,000 words in thirty days since 2009 - but I've only won once. That's almost 1400 words a day at the minimum in order to succeed and get your shiny badge and bragging rights.
Success is not guaranteed though. In fact, it feels like failure is. NaNo seems easy for anyone who considers themselves able to string a couple of stories together, but when the euphoria of "It's time for NaNo!" wears off and you're left with the idea of actually having 45K more to go, it's pretty easy to turn around and run away. In fact, I admit that in 2011 I completely imploded. About four days in, I threw my hands up and walked away.
This article from Psychology Today suggests that failures might actually shape us in a more definite way than success does. The assertion actually makes a lot of sense. Think about your latest success - what did you learn from that specific success. 2011 NaNoWriMo showed me all of the things I needed to do in order to have a better chance in 2012.
When I won in 2012, I knew it was because of two very big changes I made in light of the previous year - I outlined the entire novel and did word games with friends to give big boosts to my word count in a short time. In 2011, I took a very solo approach to NaNoWriMo despite that my friends we were working hard on theirs as well.
I can't do it alone.
Getting a 500 word boost in a matter of 20 or 30 minutes puts a huge dent in your daily goal. The task was less daunting when I had someone to work with.
Creating an outline meant I wasn't going to get bogged down in the direction of plot or "what happened then" questions. I had every move that each character was going to make down on the page, so all I had to do was create the story around it.
I honestly think that without my utter and complete NaNo meltdown in 2011, I would not have been able to "win" 2012 NaNo. I learned a lot in 2011 and I applied all of those "well, I'm not going to do that this year" thoughts, which I think helped me succeed. One might even say that my failure was the reason I succeeded.
What's going to be most interesting to me is competing again in 2013. Will the same drive push me to finish, or will I feel more complacent in succeeding? I wonder how much is to be said for being a back to back NaNoWriMo winner.
Update: After putting my head together with some of the other operators, we determined a couple of other things that can improve your active listening skills.
When we bring on a new employee, the first thing they learn is customer service, and the most important skill we focus on is listening. Customer service is about being an active listener. You can't just "hear" what people are saying, you have to really be grabbing onto the words and turning them over in your head.
What does it take to be an active listener? There are a lot of rules to active listening but we break these skills down into basic steps. These steps have improved our customer service responses and our communication.
(NEW) Clarify The Message
One of the best tools when speaking to a customer is the ability to clarify the message they are trying to send. You never want to make assumptions when trying to decide what a customer wants. Most of the time you will get that assumption wrong and have to go back to the customer. It's always better when you're not clear to make sure you understand. A lot of times a customer uses words or phrases that might not be what you would use. You can just repeat it back to them in another way. "It sounds like you need..." or "Let me make sure I understand..." are great ways to start.
(NEW) Test Your Listening Skills
The Active Empathetic Listening (AEL) measure has eleven key items that test how well you sense, process, and respond when you listen to someone else. Sensing is the way you indicate you are taking in the information, processing is how well you construct the narrative delivered, and responding is how you ask questions to make sure you understand. Take the AEL test and find out where you stand as a great listener and how you can improve.
Focus on Understanding
Engage in communication with the goal of "understanding" instead of "understood". When your customer is speaking, it's best to focus on what the customer is saying, rather than trying to get a head start on how you're going to respond. Once someone in a conversation goes on the defensive, you are less likely to come to a resolution.
Give Your Undivided Attention to the Person Speaking
This may seem like common sense but devices like cell phones and the constant access to email are roadblocks to active listening. When a customer calls, disengage from the emails you're working on, the spreadsheet you are clicking through, or the text message that might be waiting on you. Engage fully in the conversation that is present and not the one that is waiting for you to type a response.
Play Pretend
The more I can act like I'm face to face with a customer, the better our conversation goes. Imagine the customer across from you and nod when you understand. Responding to the customer as you would if you were face to face, you will be an even better listener. I will smile while I speak and even nod my head as the customer tells me what's going on. It makes me feel like I truly understand the customer's needs.
It's not always easy to listen and even more so when we are immediately trying to figure out what we are going to say or have too many things going on at once. If we can just stop for a moment and become a more active listener, it will improve our communication with everyone.

A few years ago, I was hanging out with some of my younger cousins and surprised the "country girls" by wearing a snazzy pair of zebra print purple heels. They asked me how I managed to walk in those shoes and I informed them that I "walk with authority."
It's amazing how a clothing change or a new pair of shoes can make you feel more confident. I wrote about success on the debate team being somewhat wrapped into my power shoes, but what are some other changes you can make in how you walk and move that can boost your confidence?
Carry Yourself Well
How you hold yourself plays a role in how you see yourself. So the first place to start in making changes to your body language is to hold yourself a little higher. To appear more confident, you need to act more confident.
Movements Send A Message
Any movement you make can send a message. These messages can be positive or negative, so one of the most important body language changes you can make is to be aware of how you're moving.
Your Hands and Arms Serve as a Door
The movements made with arms in communicating tells a lot about the openness of a speaker. Those who cross their arms "close the door" to others feeling welcome to chime in or discuss.
The good news - you can control your own body language. Remember you have complete control over the way you carry yourself which translates into the way you are perceived. How will you walk with authority today?
Business Communications
An agenda is an important part of any large meeting running smoothly. When dealing with multiple speakers or parties on a conference call, assigning specific time increments to each speaker or Q&A session will keep everyone on track.
When I think of something that needs an agenda, I think of a large event that has multiple speakers and subject matters. An agenda, in my opinion, is to let me know who's speaking, how long they will have the floor, and give the main idea of what information they are going to present.
What makes an effective agenda?
Pick a type of agenda. Did you know there is more than one kind of agenda? I didn't until I started doing research for this post. The most popular agenda is called a "common agenda". This kind of agenda will call the meeting to order, offering a reading of the agenda, and then call for business matters to begin. The second most popular is a "priority agenda". This agenda places items of business in order of importance so that the highest priority items are sure to be addressed. Those are just two of the most popular ones, but there are a lot of different ways to arrange an agenda.
How detailed will your agenda need to be? First, consider if your agenda is going to be sent to just speakers or if all attendees will get a copy. You also need to decide just how deeply you will break out the agenda. Do you need to list every speaker or subject matter? A good rule is to break out the agenda when you will have two (or more) speakers and / or two (or more) subject matters. If you're doing a town hall type of conference where multiple speakers will weigh in on one topic, listing the speakers should be sufficient.
Have someone else look at it. Get a second pair of eyes on the agenda to make sure you didn't leave anything out or get your timezones mixed up. Since you'll be sending out your agenda with your invitation (right?) you don't want to have to update this document multiple times. Limit changes as much as you can, and letting a second person read over it will help.
Like most things when it comes to having successful conference and webinar events, the amount of time you spend planning will have a great effect on how attendees respond before, during, and after your conference is over.

YOUR WASHINGTON AND YOU! FROM KARL MUNDT SENATOR FROM SOUTH DAKOTA "FOR A FAIR CHANCE FOR A FREE PEOPLE" VOLUME XV (1953) NUMBER 26 - FOR RELEASE JULY 16 OR AFTER A WEEKLY REPORT Karl Mundt Senator from South Dakota REA THROWS THE SWITCH. In the first week of July, the REA in Washington threw the switch on a new high-voltage program for South Dakota when it granted nearly $2,000,000 in loans to five REA Cooperatives serving South Dakota farms and ranches. The list includes: Butte Electric, Newell, S. Dak. -- $390,000 Southeast Electric. Ekalaka, Montana (serving Harding County, S. Dak.) -- $433,000 Cherry-Todd Electric, Valentine, Nebraska (serving Tripp, Todd and Mellette Counties, S. Dak.) — $540,000 Hamlin-Deuel Electric, Clear Lake, S. Dak. -- $272,000 East River Electric, Madison, S. Dak. -- $312,000 THE GRAND TOTAL OF $1,947,000 IS THE LARGEST AMOUNT OF REA LOANS EVER AWARDED FOR SERVICE TO SOUTH DAKOTA FARMERS WITHIN A ONE WEEK PERIOD OF TIME. GREAT CREDIT FOR THIS EFFECTIVE AND EFFICIENT ACTION MUST GO TO THE DEPARTMENT OF AGRICULTURE WHICH REALIZES THE VALUE OF REA AND WANTS THOSE BENEFITS BROUGHT TO THE FARM AND RANCH FAMILIES OF AMERICA AS QUICKLY AS POSSIBLE. BACKGROUND ON BOOK BURNING. (The following paragraphs were taken from a speech which I made last week in the United States Senate). "I have read very carefully everything anyone in authority has had to say on the subject, from the President on down, and can find nothing even remotely connecting his position on book burning, and the almost universal American position on book burning, to anything relating to the foreign information program of the United States. "As a member of the Senate Committee on Government Operations, which has been investigating somewhat the expenditures of public funds on certain types of books for use in overseas information centers, I can say that at no time and at no place in all our hearings has any member of the committee, or has the committee itself, suggested that books which should not be on the shelves should be burned. "However, I point out that in carrying out the mandate we have under the Reorganization Act, public funds are to be spent for purposes which the laws provide, and we have raised serious objections to the purchase and distribution of books written by Communists, and certain books favorable to communism, for use as a part of our information program abroad. "What we are talking about is not libraries, when we talk about the hearings now being conducted by our committee. We are not talking about libraries, as we understand the term in the United States, but about information centers, reading rooms about America, which are established for a special purpose, and that is to get across to people who do not understand our basic concepts the truth about our American ideals. "I am not one who believes that we should continue to leave unnoticed and uncorrected a program which, under the previous Secretary of State, Dean Acheson, involves promotion of the purchase of books written by Communists, books derogatory to America, inimical to our interests and antagonistic to our foreign policy...and sending them to American information centers overseas, which are established under the law for the purpose of trying to win friends overseas for freedom and trying to place before the peoples of other countries those things about America of which we are proud." SPOTLIGHT ON SYLVAN LAKE. Washington people are once again talking about a trip to South Dakota's beautiful Black Hills--this time to Sylvan Lake, where the National Conference of Attorneys General will be held August 9 to 12. U.S. Attorney General Herbert Brownell will be featured speaker, and I personally am looking forward to visiting with many South Dakota friends when I am at Sylvan Lake to address one of the convention sessions. Washington people are still talking about the National Young Republican Convention events held in Rapid City, Spearfish and at Mount Rushmore. Mrs. Carol Arth, Acting National Chairman, wrote this office last week: "PRAISE HAS COME FROM ALL SIDES. PRAISE NOT ONLY FOR A WELL-RUN CONVENTION, BUT FOR THE WARM HOSPITALITY OF THE SOUTH DAKOTA PEOPLE." PROGRESS ON CROP INSURANCE. I'm pleased to report the Senate approved the bill to extend for two more years the authority of the Federal Crop Insurance Corporation to expand into more counties. As a member of the Senate Agriculture Committee, I had the opportunity to get this bill approved in Committee, because for many years I have been a firm believer in the benefits of crop insurance for our farmers and have always maintained they are entitled to this type of program. Where people have a legitimate need which can only be met by the Federal government, it is logical and proper that the Government should help solve such problems.

Can one ever truly atone?
Today I taught my World Lit class The Book of Ruth. This story is in both the Old and New Testament. In the Old Testament, the word for atonement in Hebrew actually translates as "to placate." The word for atonement in the New Testament translates as "payment." So if we only placate people when we atone and we must make payment for our sins, can we ever truly atone?
Showing single comment thread. View the full conversation.
Mar 4 2013: Does placating require that the target be placated? Does payment have to be accepted? What is the purpose of atonement? Given that humans generally act in their own self interest, I suggest that atonement is essentially an effort to rid oneself or guilt. If this moves the questions towards "is it possible to remove guilt" then I think the answer is yes, although it's often more difficult for me to forgive myself and remove the guilt than it is to be forgiven by others.

Scalp psoriasis and seborrheic dermatitis of the scalp can be difficult to differentiate. Both are common conditions that affect the scalp. In addition, they share some similar signs and symptoms, such as itchy, red, scaly skin.
Most often, the scales of psoriasis are thicker and somewhat drier in appearance than are the scales of seborrheic dermatitis. In addition, psoriasis usually affects more than one area of the body. If you have scalp psoriasis, you may also have mild psoriasis on your elbows, knees, hands or feet or may notice subtle nail changes, such as pitting.
No single test confirms a diagnosis of psoriasis or seborrheic dermatitis. Your doctor usually makes a diagnosis with a visual examination of the affected skin. Scalp psoriasis and seborrheic dermatitis of the scalp share some similar treatments, including medicated shampoos and topical corticosteroid or antifungal solutions.
Scalp psoriasis is often persistent and more difficult to treat than is seborrheic dermatitis of the scalp. For stubborn cases of scalp psoriasis, your doctor may prescribe oral medications, such as methotrexate (Trexall) or cyclosporine, or combine stronger medications with medicated creams and ointments.

79% of Duluth reviewers said Botox was worth it
"63 Never Had Any Procedures -..."
Went to Dr. Mikes open house and everyone was so nice and knowledgeable. Dr. Mike did a consolutation was honest and did not try to push me into anything drastic. In fact I was impressed with what his suggestions were. I thought there would be more! Today I'm starting my treatment. Will update this review in a few days. more
"Business Women Not Afraid of Botox..."
I am speaking to all those women who want to do Botox but have put it off. I was in that same bucket until recently. Just like you, I am sure that some where along the line you have heard a stories about how the Botox treatment would be like. The one I was mostly afraid of "the needle goes straight through your skull"! ouch right. Not even! I didn't feel a thing, Dr. Majmundar was very... more
"Dr. Gregg Kennedy and FirstMed in..."
Dr. Kennedy and his staff, Karri , were awesome. I am 44 never had botox or juvederm before. They suggested only a small amount - did not try to overdo or oversell. I had botox for between eyes and downturned mouth. Juvederm to fill in downturned mouth. My face now looks natural instead of scowling all the time. I could not have been made more comfortable and hand held thru the whole... more
"Why Did I Wait So Long? - Atlanta, GA"
I have been very curious about trying Botox and Juvederm, but have always been too nervous. I was mostly afraid that I would end up with the "frozen" look you see on so many celebrities in magazines. After meeting with Dr. Deutsch, he explained how those were bad examples of injectibles, and that I would have a completely natural result. One month later I cant believe that I waited so long to... more
"Botox First-timer - Atlanta, GA"
I had Botox on Saturday for the first time. I didn't know what to expect, but I have been thinking about it for about a year now. I am 27 years old and my forehead horizontal lines are becoming more permanent fixtures on my face, likely from sun damage and staring at a computer all day. I had a very strong "1" and a slight "11" according to the doctor, and she said that since I am younger,... more
"Waste of $$$ and Time with Botox -..."
After finding Dr Glavey's reviews here I decided to try her for Botox. This review has nothing to do with her bedside manner or personality because she is very nice. However, I have at least 5 years of Botox experience with my own face and the results of it to my eyebrows/forehead area. After explaining to Dr Glavey I wanted an improved arch with my browns and also to lose the "11's" creeping... more
"Botox Jaw Reduction - Atlanta, GA"
I had my first Botox Jaw Reduction with this doctor a month ago (Nov. 14th.) I'm extremely happy with the result. Dr. Kim only injected 20 units on each side. So a total of 40 units, but that did the magic. All my friends think I lost 20 pounds!! more
I am 33 and just tried Botox for the 1st time. I must say that I LOOOOOVVVEEEE it. I was scared at 1st b/c I am very careful with anything that goes on my face... but I wanted to start something to preserve the youth (as much as I can). I have good genes but I "speak with my face"... meaning my face has an expression all the time and I smile A LOT. (just a happy person ;) So, knowledge is... more
"Bilateral Masseter Reduction -..."
I went to Dr Kim last week to get botox for a bilateral masseter reduction. He was very professional, helpful, and I am excited to see the results! It was clear that he tailored his approach to patients; spending more time with the woman before me who had dozens of questions and straight to the point with me (exactly how I like it). Though I might move 1.5-2 hours away, I will continue to come... more
"Great for Crows Feet - Atlanta, GA"
I have been getting botox off and on for about 3 years. works miracles for the crows feet, but when i go anywhere else with this stuff it just makes my face look strange (like the joker on batman). no side effects, lasts usually 4 to 5 months on me, bout due for a tweaking! more
I am 27 years old, and when I smile - one eye always closes more than the other and it has driven me crazy forever. My PS suggested putting botox under that eye so that it wouldn't close as much. Well, that made it nice and wide, but then the other was more closed! So, I went back to get the other done too, and he also put more in underneath both eyes. Total I had about 8 shots of it... more
"Looooove Botox - Atlanta, GA"
Great!!! I started getting this done right at the verrry first start of aging, I think 30. I didn't want to wait until 40 or 45 like I'd seen a lot of other women do. Well 4 years later, I like to keep it maintained at every 3 months (not wait till I can see it run out). Of course sometimes life gets in the way of botox appt's but I like to keep it current. I cannot describe... more
"Botox - When You Get Bad Side..."
If you have any bad side effects don't listen to anyone saying they can't be attributed to Botox. Go online to the Botox Cosmetic Warnings and Medication Guide (US and UK), call the Allergan Adverse events line, look at the National Institute of Health and FDA websites and you will probably find them. If you don't, look up the the medical terms that you don't know the meaning... more
"Botox- So Far I Really Like It!"
I decided to have Botox because the wrinkles in my forehead bothered me, especially a wrinkle that forms between my nose and forehead. I carry my stress in my forehead, it physically hurts after a stressful day. My mom and aunts get Botox regularly and they all look great. It's only my second day after having Botox and so far I love it- my wrinkles are starting to disappear... more
"Botox is Absolutley Worth It for..."
Botox is great for getting rid of forehead lines. It also can prevent future lines from being formed. I would recommend getting it 3 times a year to maintain the results.Also the right doctor or nurse practitioner is a must. The first time I had it the doctor injected my entire forehead causing my brow to sag and hang on my eyelids. For about 2-3 weeks I looked old and tired. However since... more

Dubash, N.K., Hagemann, M., Höhne N., and Upadhyaya, P., 2013. Developments in national climate change mitigation legislation and strategy. Climate Policy 13(6), pp. 649-664.
The Uttarakhand disaster invited much criticism, but to say that the state government was unaware of the possibility of such a disaster would be unfair. In 2012 the Uttarakhand Action Plan on Climate Change, based on wide consultations, assessed possibilities and steps needed to avert such disasters. Despite the extensive information provided in the document, it fails to be "implementable" due to issues of financing and bureaucratic initiative among others.
Jogesh A., 2013. Time to Dust off the Climate Plan? Economic and Political Weekly. XLVII(48)
India has taken a remarkably consistent approach to global climate negotiations; a principled position on climate change founded on attention to equity dimensions of the problem. This stance which is the setting on a metaphorical compass that has guided the last two decades of Indian climate policy, has strong implications for India's arguments for the relative mitigation burdens of the industrialised and developing world and therefore for India's approach to multilateralism applied to climate change.
Abstract: This article considers how far the climate change regime is an exemplar of international environmental law as well as public international law. We focus on five issues: the nature and extent of differentiation in favour of developing countries, the role of soft law, the dynamics of decision-making in multilateral negotiations, the contribution of dispute settlement, and the impact of (and assumptions underlying) scholarly offerings in this field.

We have a 2pm afternoon game today against the Indiana Pacers.
The Pacers are currently 15-16 and have lost their last 3 games.
The Bobcats are 10-18 and are currently burdened with the stench of a 4 game losing streak. I'd like to give you the lineups for today's game... But I'm not even sure if Coach V himself knows who hes going to trot out to the opening tip.
With that being said, we still have to find some way to get a win and get back on track.
Is it going to happen today guys

Summary: Vitamin K epoxide reductase family
Pfam includes annotations and additional family information from a range of different sources. These sources can be accessed via the tabs below.
The Pfam group coordinates the annotation of Pfam families in Wikipedia, but we have not yet assigned a Wikipedia article to this family. If you think that a particular Wikipedia article provides good annotation, please let us know.
This tab holds the annotation information that is stored in the Pfam database. As we move to using Wikipedia as our main source of annotation, the contents of this tab will be gradually replaced by the Wikipedia tab.
Vitamin K epoxide reductase family Provide feedback
Vitamin K epoxide reductase (VKOR) recycles reduced vitamin K, which is used subsequently as a co-factor in the gamma-carboxylation of glutamic acid residues in blood coagulation enzymes. VKORC1 is a member of a large family of predicted enzymes that are present in vertebrates, Drosophila, plants, bacteria and archaea [1]. Four cysteine residues and one residue, which is either serine or threonine, are identified as likely active-site residues [1]. In some plant and bacterial homologues the VKORC1 homologous domain is fused with domains of the thioredoxin family of oxidoreductases [1].

InterPro entry IPR012932
Vitamin K epoxide reductase (VKOR) recycles vitamin K 2,3-epoxide to vitamin K hydroquinone, a co-factor that is essential for the posttranslational gamma-carboxylation of several blood coagulation factors [PUBMED:14765194]. VKORC1, the catalytic subunit of the VKOR complex, is a member of a large family of predicted enzymes that are present in vertebrates, Drosophila, plants, bacteria and archaea [PUBMED:15276181]. Bacterial VKOR homologues catalyse disulphide bridge formation in secreted proteins by cooperating with a periplasmic, Trx-like redox partner [PUBMED:18413314, PUBMED:18695247]. In fact, in some plant and bacterial homologues the VKORC1 homologous domain is fused with domains of the thioredoxin family of oxidoreductases [PUBMED:15276181]. VKOR is part of a disulphide bond formation pathway that uses electrons from cysteines of newly synthesized proteins to reduce a quinone [PUBMED:20110994].

We store a range of different sequence alignments for families. As well as the seed alignment from which the family is built, we provide the full alignment, generated by searching the sequence database using the family HMM. We also generate alignments using four representative proteomes (RP) sets, the NCBI sequence database, and our metagenomics sequence database. More...

For those sequences which have a structure in the Protein DataBank, we use the mapping between UniProt, PDB and Pfam coordinate systems from the PDBe group, to allow us to map Pfam domains onto UniProt sequences and three-dimensional protein structures. The table below shows the structures on which the VKOR domain has been found. There are 1 instances of this domain found in the PDB. Note that there may be multiple copies of the domain in a single PDB structure, since many structures contain multiple copies of the same protein seqence.

intelPros: intel, efficient, powerful for the price, stock cooler is fine for a basic build Cons: none Other Thoughts: I should have got an e3 or one without the integrated graphics but the price difference was only about $25 so whatever. The thermal capacity is probably a bit higher on this chip because it's got the graphics that i am not using. It's in a small 2RU server. Did you find this review helpful? |
starcraft 2Pros: ok, i got this thing to run as a full time VERY cheap server, that i could use VERY quiet and low power cooling. this is something that i wanted to be extremely reliable, cheap, low power, and low noise. it fulfilled this. that was a year ago. today i use it to do general office computer stuff on and play starcraft 2. it does this flawlessly as well. i have startcraft 2 on the low settings, but the frame rates are like 150 fps when the game starts, and like down to 20-30 when it is full game and the most number of units on a map of 6 vs 6 (the most players ive been with at a time). keep in mind i do not have a separate graphics card. i do not overclock. i have 16 gb ram on a small form motherboard. this thing is quiet. it makes my keyboard seem really loud. i have a 22" lcd monitor hooked up to it via dvi. i notice lag and other issues and they VERY annoying. i would not have kept this system if there was ANY lag. i have dumped 3 old hard drives in it each 500 gb. this is not a high cost system at all. but it does everything i want. i am pleased. i just had my corsair 750W psu die on me. that made me sad. i spent money at a local shop to get a new same day asap... but with the new one, the system is working great again. highly recommend the cpu. Cons: i wish it had the graphics 4000 version, but when i bought this from newegg a year ago, this was really available for cheap. Other Thoughts: i noticed the price of THIS cpu has remained the same as when i bought it... 1 out of 1 people found this review helpful. Did you? |
good valuePros: installed easy in my new build, heatsinks are slightly better than old ones though this does run hotter than my i5 I put in a build the same day. if you don't need a monster this will handle your load. Cons: heatsink is tiny compared to i5s, but seems to keep it cool (ish) 50 C under full load Did you find this review helpful? |
Simply perfectPros: Bought this along with an Intel DZ68DB motherboard which includes Displayport, HDMI, & DVI outputs on motherboard so I didn't even have a need to buy a video card. I'm using DisplayPort on 1080P resolution to an ASUS LED monitor and HDMI 720P output on another Samsung LCD monitor in extended desktop mode. This processor handles multi-tasking without a twitch. Task manager shows the CPU load never goes above 20% and stays below 10% most of the time. I do graphic design with Adobe Photoshop CS5 Extended 64bit, Maya 2011 64bit, run Outlook for email, listen to Pandora online, download software for work, use Adobe Bridge and some various software applications for website development. Under heavy load, processor will reach 30% in task manager and linger around there. Simply beautiful how much stress this processor can handle without stuttering or lagging or any issues whatsoever. Highly recommend it. Cons: None at all Other Thoughts: love the processor. Simply cant beat this reliable strong performance for the price that it's at, highly recommend it. 6 out of 6 people found this review helpful. Did you? |
Sweet lil CPUPros: HD 3000 graphics Cons: Can't think of any Other Thoughts: I have this on a MIcro ATX Gigabyte Z68 MOBO with 8 Gigs of 1600 Ram. Speedfan reports highest temp is around 100F, which will climb to 115F if I'm doing any transcoding. Whisper quite system 3 out of 5 people found this review helpful. Did you? |

An i3 2100 on steroids. I get cpu marks of over 4400.

DissapointedPros: Bought a while ago from a surplus site, expected a lighweight powerhouse. This thing works good, but not for the money. I had an AMD A8-3850 built and I decided to upgrade to a brand new i3 with a graphics card, but when I heard it has HD 3000 I decided to see how it would perform before buying a card. Cons: CPU outperforms A8 in a few things, but the HD 3000 is frankly trash. YouTube 1080p works smoothly about half the time, graphics work 30%-40% slower than the A8 when playing games, and CPU benchmarks are scoring 10% lower in most cases. Other Thoughts: Buy an i3-2100 with the cheaper HD 2000 graphics and just pair it with a GeForce GT 400 series or a Radeon HD 6600 series. 6 out of 16 people found this review helpful. Did you? |
HD 3000?Pros: It's Sandy Bridge. Cons: It says in Neweggs ad, and on the Intel packaging of the Core i3 2125 Processor that it has Intel HD 3000 Graphics. That being said, why does my CPUID/CPUZ report that it has HD 2000 Graphics? I feel cheated. I bought this processor specifically for the better graphics solution. Other Thoughts: Also on CPUID/CPUZ in the first description of the processor calls it a Core i3 2120, but then in the second description (on the same first tab <CPU>) calls it a Core i3 2125. Are we actually getting what we're paying for or is this just a re-labeled Core i3 2120? 8 out of 20 people found this review helpful. Did you? |
Pros: Great CPU, 3.3ghz and HD3000 graphics chip. Perfect for SFF general purpose PC. Cons: Graphics driver issues. I really want to -1 egg for this, but I wont since its only a driver issue and not physical. Other Thoughts: Despite the driver issue, which is minor because the machine is up and running this chip is great. very fast, more then enough for what this PC will be used for. 4 out of 7 people found this review helpful. Did you? |
Awesome!!!!!Pros: This thing is having the i3 2120 with the HD3000...... Cons: none Other Thoughts: wish they have a"k" version for the i3 4 out of 8 people found this review helpful. Did you? |

The fact that he asked.."is it a name change" and she couldn't give a clear answer might mean something. I mean...if it was not a name change you would at least think she would say "um no, but I can't tell you what it is.."
Not sure how I feel about this. Interesting.

Tara's Thoughts on Texas State
Why Texas State
I always knew that I wanted to go to Texas State. It's between two great cities, Austin and San Antonio, and I knew that it has a good
fashion merchandising
program. I also chose to go here because both of my cousins went here, and they were always telling me how much they loved it!
Why Fashion Merchandising
I love clothes and have always had a passion for the fashion industry.
After I graduate in 2008, I hope to attend graduate school for a master of business administration. I would like to become a head buyer for a high-end department store.
Favorite Professor
My favorite professor is Dr. Sharon Welkey. She is an amazing teacher who has a passion for what she does. She is not only extremely knowledgeable about the fashion industry, she is also truly compassionate about her students' futures.
Best Studying Advice
First of all, go to class! Many professors create their exams from their lectures. You should also read all the chapters and highlight the points that you think are the most important. Finally, study your in-class notes, and you should do great on the exams.
My Clubs and Organizations
Fashion Merchandising Association — president
Phi Upsilon Omicron (Family and Consumer Sciences Honor Society) — initiation chair
Fashion Merchandising Advisory Board
Student Foundation
Golden Key International Honor Society
Why I am Involved at Texas State
Some of the benefits of being in student organizations are the friends you make, the leadership skills you learn, and the impact you will have on the university.
Honors, Awards and Scholarships
Dean's List
Associated Student Government Academic Scholarship
Fashion Merchandising Leadership Award
Fashion Merchandising Scholarship
Best Food on Campus
Commons is the best dining hall because it has a salad bar, which is nice when you want to eat something healthy.
What I Like Most About Texas State
The location, the campus, my program and the amazing people I have met along the way.
What I Tell Future Texas State Students
You will love it! It is so much fun. You will get a great education no matter what major you choose, you will make great friends, and it is probably the best location to go to school in Texas.

"We met recipe developer, personal chef, and Franklin County native
Wendy Perry at a food judging competition at the North Carolina State Fair
two years ago. She won a blue ribbon for her homemade ketchup. We were intrigued---who makes their own ketchup?---and we were impressed by Wendy's resourcefulness and inventive approach to food. When we decided to create five custom North Carolina cakes for our issue devoted to desserts in North Carolina, we couldn't imagine anyone more suited to the challenge than Wendy. She enlisted the help of baker and Wilson County resident Teresa Williford, and the two women set to work, imagining what North Carolina would taste like if you could capture it in a cake.
During the final tasting,
the results blew us---and the entire Our State staff---away."

We offer two ways to locate information:
We have added the following products to your shopping cart from a previous visit:
Red wines that are more fruit-forward and lighter in tannin and body.
Medium bodied reds that go down easy, with smooth tannins and supple fruit.
Wines where earthy and/or spicy dominate the flavors – typically medium to full body.
Full bodied wines that have concentrated fruit and are higher in alcohol and/or tannins. Some need age.
G.A.M. represents the first initial of each of the Mitolo children's first names - Gemma, Alex and Marco. In the tradition of the GAM style the nose displays masses of ripe plums, spicy aromatic herbs and lifted freshness.
"Dense garnet hue with a glint of purple. Powerful scents of blackberry, blueberry and rum cake with hints of menthol and mocha. Ultra-plush tannins and juicy flavors of raspberry and Bing cherry. Vibrant acidity and layers of blueberry, leather and sweet tobacco in the lingering close. " 94 Points The Wine News
"The higher-end wines begin with the 2007 G.A.M. Shiraz. Purple-colored, it offers an alluring bouquet of spice box, black cherry, blueberry, and a hint of chocolate. This leads to a concentrated, ripe, layered wine with excellent depth and length. Already complex, it will continue to evolve with another several years of cellaring. Drink it from 2011 to 2020." 91 Points The Wine Advocate
"Inky violet color. Seductively perfumed scents of blackberry, mulberry, candied plum and smoky Indian spices. Ripe, fleshy and gently sweet, offering assertive dark berry and anise flavors and slow-building tannins. Repeats the anise and mulberry notes on the long, sappy, alluringly spicy, peppery finish. This wine is already showing very good complexity." 91 Points International Wine Cellar
"Ripe in flavor and jazzy in style, with boysenberry and gentle tarry flavors gliding smoothly over polished tannins and lingering on the harmonious finish." 90 Points Wine Spectator
"Mitolo's G.A.M. features great freshness and verve this vintage, showcasing mixed berries—raspberries and blackberries—framed by a generous helping of vanilla. Despite 15% alcohol, it comes across as balanced and only medium in body, finishing crisp and long." 90 Points Wine Enthusiast
"Strong colour; dusty/bitter chocolate aromas lead into a powerful wine which really needs more fruit on the mid-palate." 90 Points Australian Wine Companion

Morningside College presents Dr. William C. Yockey Assessment Awards
Five Morningside College faculty members and one academic department are the first recipients of the Dr. William C. Yockey Assessment Awards, which recognize outstanding efforts to improve student learning at Morningside.
Faculty members who received awards for general education courses they teach include Dr. Rachel Robson, assistant professor of biology, for her Principles of Biology II course, and Dr. Greg Guelcher, professor of history, for his Asian Civilizations course. Another award was presented to a faculty team that teaches an elementary statistics course. The faculty members include Regina Bade, adjunct math instructor; Dr. Mike Calvillo, assistant professor of psychology; and Dr. Chris Spicer, assistant professor of mathematical sciences.
The Morningside College Nursing Department received a department/program award in recognition of department-wide efforts to assess and improve student learning. Nursing department faculty members include Dr. Jackie Barber, Lori Doeschot, Sharlene Georgesen, Cheryl Harrington and Dr. Mary Kovarna.
A $2,500 cash prize is included with each award, which covered courses taught at Morningside during the 2010-2011 academic year. Dr. Joel Frederickson, associate dean of institutional assessment and accreditation, at Bethel University in St. Paul, Minn., served as outside evaluator for the awards.
The family of the late Dr. William C. Yockey, a 1949 Morningside graduate and a chemistry professor at the college for more than 30 years, established the annual awards in his name.

Why does this stuff never happen to me? Because I'm always packing, have a shaved head, big ol scraggly beard, weigh 240 lbs/6'3", and I look damned irritable? In warm weather the tattoos may help quite a bit too. The only down-side is that every toothless hillbilly dirt-bag thinks I'm his bro.
I truly hope you don't expect the 'authorities' to care (or do) anything about this sort of situation. Did she assault you? Nope, and if she did, they probably wouldn't do much about it. Dude, you gotta take care of yourself....the 'authorities' are only good after everything goes to hell...they're too busy eating donuts.
Bummer to have these experiences when we're out trying to enjoy some solitude and escape this kind of stuff. Perhaps Rattlesnake Lake is simply too close to the rats nest?
I have seen some odd things at Rattlesnake, though never been threatened. Don't kill the flies and the fish but it is OK to kill one who does. I will take the nude photo shoot last July over that any day.
Just not the ladies Rob. We can't have too much fun fishing or we won't be allowed to go. We did catch fish as well.
Jeff Sawyer, you are so right on !! Been there and done that !! Just thinking about it gives me chills even to this day.

2/14/2010 11:16pm--Wounded Ronin, full autos were singled out because they were the least widely-owned firearms. Fewer gun owners to organize and resist the political pressure, and fewer to oppose any effort to tie the weapons to gangsters. That's in 1986 terms.
In 1934, they almost weren't singled out . . . early drafts of the law would have treated all handguns the same as machine guns, and there were efforts to amend it to apply the same restrictions to all firearms. "Sportsmen" convinced legislators to scale it back and exclude what they considered "legitimate" arms. The NRA was involved, but only in fine-tuning language and definitions . . . people today often don't realize that the modern NRA-ILA that's such a lobbying powerhouse has its roots in the 1970s.

NFL Scouting Combine
Former Georgia linebacker Jarvis Jones, who's considered one of the top 10 prospects in the NFL draft, will not workout at the NFL scouting combine, according to his representative.
The NFL combine started today and runs through next Tuesday at Lucas Oil Stadium. Jones, who projects to defensive end in the NFL, is focusing on preparing for Georgia's Pro Day, which is set for March 21.
"Jarvis Jones from Georgia, now that's a good football player," NFL Network draft analyst Mike Mayock said. "He is an impact, explosive football player, and he's ready to play now."
There are some medical issues regarding stenosis in Jones' back.
"If he checks out medically, he's a top 10 player, and hopefully an impact player," Mayock said.
By not working out, Jones may not feel that he's in top flight condition to perform for the 32 teams and may need more time.
"Unfortunately, there is nothing he can do to alleviate the medical concerns," Mayock said. "He either has stenosis or he doesn't, and it's either continuing to narrow his spine or it isn't. Coming out of the combine in a month or so, we'll have a better idea of that when teams begin to share all that medical information."
Jones, a 6-3, 241-pound native of Columbus, was a two-time consensus All-American and recorded 28 sacks in his two seasons with the Bulldogs.
He played in 26 games over his two seasons with Georgia, starting all of them. He finished his career with 28 sacks. Jones also recorded 44 tackles for loss of 235 yards, 155 total tackles, nine forced fumbles and an interception during his time as a Bulldog.
Jones, a 2012 consensus First Team All-American, led the nation in tackles for loss (24.5 for loss of 132 yards) and forced fumbles (seven). He was third on the Bulldogs with 85 tackles and added an interception and two fumble recoveries in 12 games played this season (Jones was injured for two of Georgia's 14 games).
Jones joined the Bulldogs as a scout team member in 2010 after transferring from Southern California. He was a consensus first-team All-American in 2011 after leading the SEC in sacks (13.5) and tackles for loss (19.5) and piling up 70 tackles in 14 games.
The 2013 NFL draft is April 25-27.

A few months back I found an article about a pioneer family of the Napa Valley. I'd say specifically in the mountains above Calistoga. The following is a link to the article. What struck me as interesting is that they were everyday people making the best of what they had.

Journaling my genealogy research online seems to be the right thing to do for the future of my research rather than hiding it away in some box or drawer in my home. This blog is more of a diary of my research which expands as I go. Know that a post from last year may have more updated research in a different post. I love the discovery process which has resulted in such wonderful success in finding my roots. If you comment and are looking for a response, please leave me an email address.
