"15 years of camping with fraternity friends and family"
"The family (9 of us) came together in Hampton, NH to celebrate Grammie's 65th in style. We had a clambake party and all wore our CustomInk shirts to mark the special event. The experience was a success!"
"We are all High School friends (Class of 1983) that get together every year up north at the cabin for a Girl's Weekend - it's a long one, Wednesday - Sunday and we ALWAYS have a lot of fun, no matter what we do!!! Boating, skiing, tubing, tennis, golf, tanning, shopping, dinners and some partying too! Sometimes the group is as big as 10 or 11 - this year we had 7 of us for our 10th Annual celebration! The back's of our shirts were customized to each gal. "I am the ____ one"! They ranged from, "social, political, reserved, playful, artsy, wanna-be and bad"! We made our own can/bottle coolers to match our t-shirt design too! 10 years and going strong -here's to many more!!! From day 1 - our experience with CustomInk has been absolutely wonderfull!! The staff was knowledgeable and very helpful in getting our shirts done just the way we wanted. They arrived ahead of schedule and looked fabulous!!! We had such a good time 'sporting' our special t-shirts --- we would definitely work with CustomInk again in the future!!! Thank You so much!!!"
"Every year we us crazy Lambs meet at the Beaver Creek campground on Priest Lake."
"July 18, 2009 in Henderson, NC"
"Fantastic company! Our grandchildren already voted on the shirt for 2010 - they love their look alike shirts."
"Our 1st family reunion - Detroit Lakes, MN on Floyd Lake at the Meyers home. We had a great time, the shirts were a hit! CustomInks website is very user friendly, we were pleased that the shirts arrived ahead of schedule, we would definitely use your service again."
"Although there are only 55 people in this photo, there were 182 at our 43rd Annual Family Reunion held in NH. There were 10 siblings in my fathers' family, so we wear colored t-shirts to know who belongs to which branch of the tree. It was a pleasure to work with the staff at CustomInk, the shirts were delivered on time and without error. Everyone loved our Sam and Jans' Clan shirts."
"This is the third year in a row our Demolition Derby club has done the Crash for the Cure to help raise money for the Seattle Cancer Care Allaince and Susan G Komen 3 day breat cancer walk. We had 34 drivers from all over the state of Washington build cars and beat the heck out of them in a 17v17 Pink vs Purple all out team demoliton derby. Everyone's life has been touched by cancer in one way or another and it was awesome to see the whole community come together to raise over 5K. Thanks to custom ink the 80 plus t-shirts were a huge hit and we will be ordering plenty more for some of our other events in the future. Thanks again-Mr. Mopar"
"Camp Caauwe 2009 was the 2nd annual week-end camp-out of friends in Michigan City, IN. Wish I had a group photo - there were over 30 people in attendance - but this gives you an idea of how great the T-shirts turned out. The hosts didn't expect the T-shirts and they were a big hit with everyone! The overall quality was better than I had hoped. I'll definately order from CustomInk again! Thanks for making this gathering special."

From that point on, it seemed like the cushion started to go away and Darland slid back, but when the final flag fell on the event he had closed to within 38 points of the top spot in the chase for the national title after trailing by 99 heading into the event.
The Bad
Although it was destined to happen with all the big money at stake and the teams being in such close contact for three straight days, Saturday night saw many of the teams and drivers reach their respective breaking points.
First there was Jon Stanbrough going after Levi Jones following a frightening incident that also collected Robert Ballou and sent Ballou to the hospital after his car was completely destroyed, including a motor that had just two races on it.
Then, long after the checkered flag had fallen on Saturday night and podium pictures were being taken of the top three, Hines and members of his team charged into Victory Lane and exchanged words with Clauson's team with accusations being tossed around. The exchange became so volatile that Jim O'Connor Jr., son of track owner Jim O'Connor, summoned the police to make sure things didn't get anymore out of hand.
The Ugly
By far the incident in the closing laps that sent Stanbrough head first into the turn one pit entrance wall, then back onto the track directly in front of Ballou. The contact busted the cage on Ballou's car, knocking the Rocklin, Calif., driver unconscious which resulted in his being transported to a hospital. Although he was released, it was announced that he was going back on Sunday afternoon after experiencing extreme pain in his back.
From my vantage point in the infield, it appeared that Levi Jones, who trailed Stanbrough by just two points in the national title picture heading into Saturday's program, got into Stanbrough's left rear and shoved him up the track. Stanbrough, usually as cool as the other side of the pillow, felt the same way as he climbed from his battered car, walked toward the pits, changed directions, then ran full speed towards Jones, who was parked on the front stretch in his car.

- 5:38 pm Tuesday, November 15th, 2011 by Jason Lieser
Florida coach Will Muschamp keeps saying the Gators are not far from contending in the SEC. One reason for his optimism might be the strength of his freshman class.
He signed 19 players, though that dropped to 17 after transfers. Among those who stayed, 15 have played this season. Only six teams in country have used more true freshmen this year.

At what age do you let your children stay home alone?

In Antonia Kidman's column she asks "when is it okay for children to venture out or be left at home alone?"
We all struggle to make a judgement call on this. What do you think?
At what age do you let your children stay home alone? Or walk to school by themselves? Or babysit their younger siblings? And what responsibilities should you never put on their shoulders?
Posted 27 March 2012 - 10:22 AM
IMPO... No ADULT responsiblities should be placed on any child's shoulders!!
Hence the terms Adult and Child... the child does not have the Adult maturity to cope with Adult stuff/responsibilities (mind you... some Adults don't either )

I am struggling with the walk to school by themselves topic at the moment.
I wish I had an answer.
Posted 27 March 2012 - 11:52 AM
I am really struggling with letting go myself at the moment. My oldest is 10 and my youngest is 4 and I feel like I need to be giving my 10 year old a bit more freedom, ride her bike to a friends house, walk to the milk bar, that sort of thing, but we live in a busy neighbour and it's a pretty busy street we live on, so I'm just not ready yet.
But my problem is I've always said when she start high school, but I need to start taking baby steps between now and then, I can't have her never leaving my side, to all of a sudden, letting her wander the streets.
I guess at the end of the day, I'm not ready yet and she isn't pushing me to give her more freedom, so I can relax a bit.
Posted 27 March 2012 - 12:02 PM
This is a really difficult topic and as much as I WANT to give my kids more independence, I feel sick to the stomach and nervous the whole time when I do.
I wonder what happened to 'safety houses' and 'neighbourhood watch'- these used to exist but I don't see them anymore. Maybe I would feel safer if I knew the whole community was looking out for my kids...
Posted 27 March 2012 - 12:03 PM
Yesterday I let my almost 12 yo and almost 9yo walk to the localish (next suburb across) to pick up something from the supermarket for me. DS took my phone with him just in case, and they had the family dog with them. I"ve actually found that when I give my older kids that little bit more responsibility they can accept it and act their age IYKWIM. When I'm around they can act like the kids that they still are.
My almost 12yo also walks himself to and from school and is at home by himself for an hour or so two afternoons a week. The younger children are in afterschool care but he comes home, lets himself in, lets the dog in and usually watched tv (and doesn't do homework but that's another issue !!) I wouldn't put much more responsibility on him than that and I certainly wouldn't leave him at home with the younger kids to look after but he is capable of looking after himself. He knows what to do should something happen like a fire (go to the neighbours), knows not to answer the door or the phone (or listen and if it's me or his Dad he's allowed to pick up) etc so there are rules and he knows what they are.
It will be interesting to see next year if I think DD1 and DS will be capable of being in the same house by themselves and not killing each other while I am not around as she will be the same as next year as DS was when we let him stay at home. She would be fine by herself I think but they might either kill each other or destroy the house - by that's still a year away and a lot can change in a year...
Posted 27 March 2012 - 03:46 PM
My eldest is only 6, but already I am easing off.
I park across the road from school. Let DS1 out and watch as he walks the 50m up to the school crossing (with crossing guard), cross the road and then takes himself the 100m back into the school.
I anticipate that by 10yrs he will be going to the local shops by himself.
Like PP he will be going off to private school and will need to catch public transport himself so there needs to be a 'relaxing' of care.

How are they supposed to learn to cope with 'adult stuff' if they've never experienced it?
You do need to gradually introduce adult responsibilities as children become capable of them. That's the only way they learn how to manage them, because you don't suddenly become a mature, responsible person upon reaching adulthood.
Posted 28 March 2012 - 06:28 AM
by 10 and 12 the kids were going to the local westfield 10 mins walk away , getting bread/fruit from a local markets and being left at home for up to an hour at a time. They are resposible kids and now as teenagers they are confident and not worries or frightened to do these things.
I dont think they were too young. They always had a mobile on them when out, they new what to do if something bothered them and they also had neighbours to help as we talk to all our neighbours if I wasnt home. Its all aboiut teaching them the life skills they need
Posted 28 March 2012 - 09:47 AM
My eldest I started leaving for brief periods when he was 12. My second son is 11 and has occasionally stayed home alone. They are both allowed to ride bikes to friend's houses without me. My 9yo hasn't been left alone but has been left with his older brothers.
My 11yo, 9yo and 7yo all walk to school together.
I was always really nervous the first few times but less so as time goes on. The reality is that I think the benefits of their growing independence outweighs any risks there may be. I can do "worst case scenario" but how likely is it really that something will happen to them?
Posted 28 March 2012 - 11:06 AM
Exactly Ianthe.
I can't keep my kids chained to my side against the tiny chance that someone may wish to harm them.
My two started walking to school alone when they were maybe 9 and 7. It's a short walk and the area isn't busy. That never stopped me from worrying though.
They started staying home alone for brief periods from around 10. And yes, I worried. Still do.
But I decided a long time ago that I could not afford to let my worry interfere with their growing up.
Posted 28 March 2012 - 11:55 AM
Up until today, my 12 year old was home alone for an hour in the morning and about two in the afternoon. However, after an incident this morning with someone driving dangerously towards her, and "stalking" behaviour towards her and being concerned with her safety - this has now changed.
We have made arrangements with her school (private) for her to be allowed to go to BSC and ASC (when the High School Library closes) until I get there about 30 minutes later. This will continue until the end of term (Thursday next week) or until the Police can provide me with confirmation that this idiot has been warned/charged or whatever and that her safety is guaranteed.
We'll now start with smaller things and work up to her catching the bus to and from school again next term.
Posted 28 March 2012 - 12:04 PM
I know it is a different era now, but I didn't have any choice, but to go to high school at 11 (along with heaps of other kids) on the public bus and then walk 2 miles through a big regional city to get to school and came home the same way. I think this matures kids big-time to have some responsibility and if they are never let do these things - how will they learn.
Posted 29 March 2012 - 10:17 AM
My 9 year old stays home for short periods at a time by himself. The longest is when I take his sister to her swimming lessons - we're away for about 30 minutes. The pool is across the road, so about 100 metres from our house, so I'm confident that if there's any problems he could come over.
I'm also fine with the two of them (aged 9 and 8) going to the local corner shops or playground by themselves. DS has walked home from school with a group of friends occasionally, but I'm not that keen as there are some busy roads to cross.
It's all gradual.
Posted 29 March 2012 - 10:38 AM
My daughter is 12, and I have an almost 3 year old son, and a 10 month old son.
My husband and I went shopping for a TV last week and left my daughter home alone. I might have done it a little earlier, but she is a worrier, and never wanted to stay home alone before. This time, it was simply a case of staying home and watching TV being a more attractive option than going TV shopping with Mum, Dad and 2 babies.
This sort of decision is such a personal one to make. An age guideline can be helpful, but it comes down to your risk assessment, your child's maturity level, how many (if any) siblings they will be left with and the dynamics between them. In some cases, an 11 year old on their own might be less of a concern, than an 'easily-led-into-trouble' 12 year old with a ratbag 10 year old, IYKWIM.

I have let my 4 year old daughter ride her bike when we go to the park. She goes to the next corner and waits, but invariably goes around the next corner and out of my view. The first time she did this, I was adamant about being able to see her. The second time, I reminded her that she needs to be careful of pedestrians on the footpath and cars coming out of driveways. Now, I let her ride ahead and happily for both of us, it is not a problem.
You can sense her self-confidence and freedom, but she always comes back to look where I am (and her 2 year old sister).
I leave them alone in the house whilst I go to the garden. They always know where I am and that they are not alone. After ten minutes or so, there is usually a check from one of them to ascertain where I am, then they return to their play.
When would I leave them alone at home? I think 10 years old is a pretty good benchmark. A child usually has a sense of self-confidence by then - as long as they know the rules of fire, phone calls, etc.
As for going to school - we all walked to school in my day - nearly every kid and we were aware of 'stranger-danger'. There is something important being lost by kids being dropped off at school and not having time to themselves and being able to talk to their friends before class starts. It is integral to warming up for the day.
I rode to school at 12 and along some busy roads. I think I was knocked off my bike once, but my brother hit the asphalt two or three times. We knew the road rules and it was purely accidental that anything happened. You can't guard against accidents, even in the home.
Posted 29 March 2012 - 06:15 PM
This is one for us at the moment, dd1 is 9yo and has been asking to stay home while I pick dd2 up from after school activities. I am starting to let her, she calls me every five minutes to chat , which is fine with me. Last week it was a good 25 minutes she was home and she was quite happy. We live in a cul-de-sak with 8 houses and know all the neighbours, so I feel pretty ok about her being at home, anyone in the court who doesn't live there sticks out like a sore thumb. I wouldn't leave it any longer than half an hour though.
We've just been looking at high schools and I do wonder if she will be ok to catch a public bus to and from as dh and I both work. It's more the coming home to an empty house that worries me I think, but again, it's great having neigbours that know us and vice versa.
I suspect dd2 will be 35 before I can leave her home for any space of time whatsover (just a bit of a different personality type)
Posted 17 April 2012 - 10:04 PM
My kids are 8 (Grade 3) & 9 (Grade 4) and we live 150m from the local shops and school is a 15 minutes walk. At age 7 both kids would walk to the shops on a saturday and sunday to buy the papers, and mid last year started walking to school by themselves ( with us observing them from afar for a couple of weeks to ensure they observed road rules). They have to cross a railway crossing and one street to get to the shops and 4 more streets to get to school. We have walked to the shops, Kinder and school almost eveyday since we moved to this house 7 years ago. I have also left them at home for up to an hour by themselves since they were 7 years old. Too many people baby their kids, my kids are sensible and confident kids. They are street smart and from my secret observation they have good road sense. Often I get parents of 10 to 12 year old kids say that they saw my kids at the shops street on weekends without me and they express their concern, I just laugh and say they are responisble and need to have independence. I am very active at our school and many kids who know me and my kids have said they wished they parents would let them do more by themselves. unwrapp the bubble wrap people let them free!!
Posted 22 April 2012 - 03:07 PM
Tough one. My eldest is 8, and whilst I trust her to be responsible, school is too far for her to walk, as is the shops, so she doesn't really get the opportunity to go anywhere by herself. She is too young to leave home alone, and given that she is 8 years older than her youngest sibling, I don't anticipate her being able to look after her siblings for another 8 years or so.
Posted 22 April 2012 - 05:44 PM
roughly 12.
depending on the individual child of course but 12 sounds about an age where you can go do your grocery shopping while your kid entertains itself at home
Posted 22 April 2012 - 06:06 PM
My two eldest boys have been going out and taking public transport (to and from school for a while, until we moved closer, now just for occasional errands) since they were nine and seven. I have no issues with letting them go to the park or run errands to the corner shop, or the local shopping centre. Yet, neither of them have been left alone at home yet.
I'm pretty sure I could trust either of them alone at home (they're now almost 11 and 13), but I have to admit the idea of them being home alone TOGETHER makes me nervous because they're more like to conjour up some sort of idiocy or get into a fight over something.
I will start leaving them home (probably one at a time at first) for short periods of time in the next few months, though because I do want them to develop some confidence while they're still young enough not to believe they're completely invincible.
Maturity and circumstance are both key in deciding when is best for your individual child.

They werent sure so called child safety and they said 12 and we also asked about sibling supervision as my older son is 15 and they said - they have to be 18 to be able to supervise

Reply from Child Safety
Thank you for your email regarding the age of children that can be left alone at home.
Under the Criminal Code Act children under the age of 12 cannot be left alone at home without supervison.
If you have any concerns or enquiry please contact your local Child Safety Service Centre.

Posted 29 April 2012 - 01:15 PM
Thats not strictly correct though - as has been posted on this forum before, children cannot be left alone for an unreasonable time without reasonable supervision - words to that effect.
this of course is so open to interpretation - I think most people would consider leaving a mature 11 year old alone for 10 minutes would be reasonable - a 2 year old for an hour obviously not.
You dont suddenly jump from being 11 and not allowed at home alone for 10 minutes to 12 and allowed home alone all day.
Likewise with supervising - a straight out not until 18 does not make sense - a 17 year old looking after a baby or younger child for a little while would be reasonable supervision.
(and that's without considering situations like what if the 17 year old is the baby's mother - should she never be unsupervised with her own child - that would be very silly interpretation of the law)

Hi, I do agree with you here and once you know your teen can handle the responsibility it is our responsibility as parents to also let them experience and enjoy their teen years by sharing the responsibilities and not just expecting our children and teens to take over our responsibilities as parents. Too often I see parents handing on too much responsibility to their children and teens putting a lot of unnecessary pressure on them to grow up quickly.
Posted 30 April 2012 - 04:00 PM
For us it was when they could no longer go to after school care. After that we had to trust them to come home and not burn the place down. So they were alone about 3 hours. The first school holidays after that, they learned to be home alone all day - they had to be there to answer the phone when we called and we'd check on them twice a day. It worked out okay.

ah yes, i call this masterpiece "waist up character faces left with neutral expression"
People have written a lot of touchy-feely pieces on this subject but I thought I'd get right to the heart of the matter
My advice for losing passion or drive is kinda different than most my friends so take that with a grain of salt, but I can only say what's worked for me: Make yourself work. Doesn't matter what you're working on, don't let yourself sit around not doing anything. You don't have to take on, like, your opus or anything… but you need to be doing something with your art. You need to make a project, and hold yourself accountable for finishing it. Even if it looks like trash or its a failed experiment, its okay to make bad stuff. You learn from making bad stuff. Just keep your hands busy, keep your brain busy.
If I waited for when I felt my "groove" or had passion for it, I'd probably be out of a job because there was a 3 month period not long ago when I was burnt out and tired of drawing/writing, but I had to cuz its my job. I did good work I was proud of, regardless of being in my groove. I just had to find a motivation that wasn't passion for those 3 months… which turned out to be "fear of not getting paid" and "refusing to drop quality."
I am not of the opinion people should only work when they feel inspired. Sometimes, you just have to do it. You have to sit down and work. You have to find a reason to keep going at it during the times when the passion isn't there, cuz the passion will not always be there.
like I said, take my advise with a grain of salt. This is what's worked for me and how I function.
This is very good advice.
I also find that it can help to do a *different* kind of art to build up your groove. I got burned out on digital art after I had 3 big projects plus working full time in a one-month span, so I took a break from photoshop and did a lot of mixed media arts & crafts. I had another friend take up glassblowing when she lost her passion for jewelry-making.
"Ahh your art is great, you're a natural!"
Nah son it's just years of practice and hard work.
"Oh my gosh you have a natural talent!"
"You have a gift!"
"No, really! There's no way I could draw like that, no matter how long I tried!"
Not with that attitude.
I just don't get it when people say they don't have the "talent" for art.
Because i feel like that shows a lack of understanding how much work people put into their crafts. I mean, yes it possible to be unable to do something— a tone deaf person probably won't be a good musician. But a colorblind person can be a painter. It basically comes down to finding your weaknesses and practicing until they're no longer a weakness (for me, that was the ability to draw hands), drawing in such a way as to hide that weakness (when I couldn't get a handle on body proportions I would just draw portraits of people's faces), or emphasize that weakness to the point of satire to show you're not afraid, which is another way of turning a weakness into a strength (like I couldn't paint with smooth brushstrokes so I would full on impressionist paint splotch that shit).
It's work, hard work and requires a lot of patience and practice but you can get there. 'There' being the place where you can look at something you've created and go "Hey… that's actually pretty good."
But for you to draw a picture— without any training, without having practiced recently (which, let me show you some of the h̶o̶r̶r̶o̶r̶s̶ things that I've drawn after not drawing at all for 6+ months…) and when you don't like how it turns out, you decide that means you don't have the talent for it.
What, do you think artists come out of the womb with perfect skills? We don't. Some very very few artists are naturally talented— that 16 year old classmate you had that could do photo-perfect portraits, maybe— but they'll never advance past 'good' into 'great' without practice and hard work.
That's what it takes to be an artist. They have these sayings:
1% inspiration and 99% perspiration
20% talent and 80% hard work
and my favorite
10% luck, 20% skill, 15% concentrated power of will,
5% pleasure, 50% pain, and 100% reason to remember the name
These sayings exist for a reason.
If you've got other things you want to dedicate your time to, and that's fine. That's good, even. We should do the things we enjoy! But if art is something you admire, something you aspire to, I don't understand why you've written off even trying.
Maybe it's laziness— because I don't know how many times I can emphasize that, for art, hard work and dedication means more than talent could ever aspire to.
Maybe it's a fear of failure. If you don't try, no one can say that you didn't succeed? Except that art isn't something you "win" at. You measure your success by improvements made.
20 years ago I was drawing stick figures and balloon people.
10 years ago I was drawing above-the-waist anime portraits with mismatches eyes and faces always in 3-quarters perspective.
5 years ago I could only draw people standing or sitting in rigid, awkward poses, and what are backgrounds anyway?
I'm still working on the backgrounds but at least I think about them now. And my hands and faces are rad.
I say it again: You measure your success by improvements made. Not by holding up your art to someone else's dubious standard. Like a swimmer races against their previous best time, an artist works to make each piece of art better than the last one they made.
So maybe you tried to draw a dude in a tuxedo and you think it looks like balls.
I say unto you, look at pictures of tuxedos and tutorials of how to draw suits and pictures of dudes in suits and maybe youtube videos of guys in suits walking down a catwalk so you can see how the pieces fit together. And your next drawing of a dude in a suit will look better.
That's succeeding at art. That's being an artist. It has little to nothing to do with "talent."

text: Band's business cards play tunes on a music box Culture 21 November 11 by Olivia Solon Tweet RitornellRitornell Musical duo Ritornell have worked with designer Katharina Hölzl to create business cards that can be read by a music box to play out different tunes.Ritornell -- comprising of composer Richard Eigner and pianist Roman Gerold -- is an experimental music group that combines electronica with a range of extraordinary acoustic instruments including a music box, egg whisks, toilet brushes and chopsticks. They wanted a business card that matched the creativity of their live show so they approached Hölzll.Hölzl told Wired.co.uk: "The music box that plays an integral part in Ritornell's concerts seemed to be the perfect medium that could add an acoustic layer to paper and also represent the playful, improvised character of their shows."Hölzll created long strips of these cards which collectively played a long piece of music, but could be given out individually. She explained: "I'm especially fond of the idea that everyone who receives one of the cards has a connection to the entire composition."Each card had small circles and triangles (which the music box reads) laser-cut into them and distributed like a graphical score. The music box was scaled in C major so, according to Eigner "a lot of visual combinations sound great." He added: "The cards work just as well with the separate subdivisions as they do with the whole long paper strip."The cards were designed to be played by a specific small music box that has been customised by Hölzll with typography.Hölzl explained that it was a challenge finding paper that would "look beautifully graved and cut by the laser, while fitting through the music box and furthermore being strong enough to meet the requirements of a business card."Check out the business cards in action in the video below: Edited by Nate Lanxon Comments Read more on Music Everything from bands to festivals to instruments to tonal experimentation Culture Spotify's Serendipity visualises songs playing in two places at once Culture iTunes festival lands Elbow, Rudimental and more Culture 2014 iTunes Festival lineup revealed Science Headbanging to Motörhead can kill you, says science Science Chimpanzees prefer African and Indian music Culture YouTube blocks indie musicians who don't play ball Read more on Design The strive for perfection of products, services and concepts Technology Tactile phone designs bridge digital generation gap Culture Intricate jewellery pieces harvest energy from wearers Culture Watch the Northern Lights from your bed in a floating snowflake Culture In pictures: the best structural innovations of the year Culture This furniture looks like blobs of human flesh Culture A North Korean architect's crazy visions of the future Latest on wired.co.uk

Fiscal Policy and the Labour Market: The Effects of Public Sector Employment and Wages
AbstractI build a dynamic stochastic general equilibrium model with search and matching frictions and two sectors in order to study the labour market effects of public sector employment and wages. Public sector wages plays an important role in achieving the efficient allocation. High wages induce too many unemployed to queue for public sector jobs, while if they are low, the government faces recruitment problems. The optimal steady-state wage premium depends mainly on the labour market friction parameters. In response to technology shocks, it is optimal to have procyclical public sector wages. Deviations from the optimal policy can increase the volatility of unemployment significantly. Public sector wage and employment shocks have mixed effects on unemployment. A wage shock raises the unemployment rate, while a reduction in the separations lowers it. Hiring more people can increase or decrease the unemployment rate. All shocks raise the wage and crowd out employment in the private sector. In the empirical part, I employ Bayesian methods to estimate the parameters of the model for the United States. I find that the direct search mechanism between the two sectors is an important element to explain business cycle fluctuations of the labour market variables.

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.
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.
Under the leadership of a 37-year industry veteran, the stylists and aestheticians at Fortunato's European Hair Design revamp and renew clients with a combination of nail, hair, waxing, and massage services. The hair whisperers wield Eufora International products as they craft curls, tame frizz, and maintain dreadlocks with the same level of love that cowboys show their lassos. Alternatively, the salon's nail technicians gussy up appendages with gel manicures and nail art, and massage therapists soothe away knots with therapeutic Swedish and deep-tissue strokes.
At Sunraes Tanning Salon, it can be difficult to decide just how to get that golden bronze glow. The root of this happy problem is the salon's arsenal of six different tanning bed types, which range from basic level one tanning beds to unparalleled level five beds equipped with a cooling water mist, face and shoulder tanners, and 52 low pressure bulbs. Sunraes also offers UV-free color, misting away paleness with customized, hand-applied airbrush spray tanning.
Unlike baking under UV lamps, being spritzed with Island Mist Tanning's aloe-based tanning solution moisturizes skin, takes only five minutes, and keeps bodies bronze for up to two weeks. Plus, its organic airbrush tan ensures an even, natural-looking coat. The shop also offers mobile tanning and party packages, as well as products such as vegan bronzer.
Tanning Bed bronzes bodies with a bevy of beds calibrated to control the ideal combo of UVA and UVB light. The tanning center's tanning beds offer a better way to copperize your chassis by allowing you to control your exposure to the sun's trilogy of UV rays. Thanks to a set of beds sporting bulbs that are regularly changed, tanners receive the maximum bronzing benefit from the warm, relaxing bath of vitamin-D rich light. Customers can choose to generate a golden bod through an array of options, including one-week ($9.99), one-month ($39.99), and three-month ($89.99) memberships. Packages of two ($9.99), 10 ($39.99), and 20 visits ($69.99) are also available, helping turn your skin bronze more efficiently than wearing a dress of living goldfish.

Learning how to understand music is essential if you're considering a career in the music industry. That's where guitar tablatures come in handy. There are a lot of advantages to guitar tabs. By using musical notation rather than musical pitches to indicate where you need to place your fingers, a tablature is quick and simple to interpret and there's no extensive training needed. Another advantage to guitar tablatures is that the fretboard visual is very similar to your stringed instrument so it eliminates the guesswork of finger positions. And tablatures often clearly identify the chord to make the note easily recognizable for guitarists. If you're looking to master some Zeppelin tracks, consider the Alfred Led Zeppelin Box Set I-V Guitar Tab Platinum Edition Books. Songbooks from their first 5 albums include every guitar solo, slide and bend with tab transcriptions. You'll be ripping riffs like Jimmy Page in no time. Songs from the greatest rock and roll band in history are always a hit around the campfire so teach yourself how to play some well-known refrains with the Alfred Rolling Stones – Hot Rocks Guitar Tab Book. It features detailed instructions to all 21 tracks from their best-selling compilation, including "Satisfaction", "Ruby Tuesday" and "Let's Spend the Night Together". A Hal Leonard Brad Paisley Tab Book includes notes and tabs for 16 tunes so you can get in full country mode at your next kitchen party. Or Slowhand fans can master 36 Clapton hits by reading the note-for-note tablature transcriptions in the Hal Leonard Eric Clapton Complete Guitar Tab Songbook. Whether you're a self-taught guitarist or you've learned the basics from a friend, guitar tablatures can help hone your skills and expand your musical repertoire. No matter what genre you're trying to play – jazz, country, pop, folk or classic rock and roll - there are variety of guitar tablatures to choose from that will easily guide you towards becoming a better musician.

There is no way they are buying today. The volume is way to low. Unless we see a big jump in volume, I won't believe they bought today.
So based on the weekly rolling calc, they should be able to buy back even more shares for the next few weeks, with the increases in volume for last week and this week, so far. Interesting. Thanks.
My guess is today's huge sell side orders aren't coming from HFTs, but perhaps Blue Ridge?Still, moving up nicely, and like people have said, this isn't the buyback pushing it up right?
too many shares for it to be the buyback. Buyback could have been the 45K or so block mid afternoon.
They should be able to create a floor with the buyback.
gotta love the 50K volume at 2.90 a few minutes ago....
yes, Avg Daily Trading Volume (ADTV) is rolling, but rolling on a weekly, not daily basis. So, this week is 63K shares / day limit - 25% of last 4 weeks, ending last friday.Next week drops off 4 weeks ago and adds this week's volume and that becomes the number for all of next week and so on.Shares company buys do count in the calculation of average as well.
Sorry, didn't find the same document. Yours was more informative.
Yes, thanks. Found the same thing. I assume the ADTV calculation is a rolling calc?
Rule 10b‐18 - safe harborSeems to be a good set of FAQs.... quotes safe harbor rule... http://www.mofo.com/files/uploads/images/faq-rule-10b-18-stock-repurchases.pdfWhat does the volume condition require?The purchases on a particular day may not exceed 25%of the ADTV in the preceding four weeks. ("Block"transactions are included in determining the 25% limitand include trades of not less than $50,000 with avolume of not less than 5,000 shares if the trade value isless than $200,000, but excludes any securities the issuerknows or has reason to know were accumulated by abroker‐dealer, acting as a principal, for the purpose of resale to the issuer.) Alternatively, the company maymake one "block" purchase per week and not be subjectto the 25% limit, provided the "block" purchase is theonly Rule 10b‐18 purchase made on that same day. Rule10b‐18's volume calculation carries over from theregular trading session to after‐hours trading sessions. The purpose of the volume condition is to prevent theissuer from dominating the market by purchasing alarge amount of its common stock relative to purchasesin the independent market.
it's in sec safe harbor rules which you can easily find on google. thx
acorisk - thanks for the share repurchase limit calculation. Is the language in an SEC filing? I just want to get in the habit of verifying some of the info kicked around the board myself.Thanks.

There tends to be an increase in house fires during the coldest months of the year.
Today, firefighters prepared for those incidents at the second day of the North Dakota Fire Fighters Association State Fire School.
Fire fighters and their instructors from all over the region maintained flexibility. Instead of applying what they've learned about fighting car fires, their efforts and hoses were aimed at propane tank fires. Rob Knuth says that these classes give hands on experience, on what dealing with these types of fires is like when it's happening right in front of you.
(Rob Knuth, Training Director, ND Firefighters Association) "Our simulator simulates an oil tank. A 500 gallon oil tank, standing on end, that's on fire. And we show them proper procedures to manage the situation. But a lot of the class is spent dealing with the individuals, explaining all the equipment on these oil sites, so when they arrive on scene- and they're probably going to be the first arriving individuals- that they know how to handle it safely."
We will be keeping you up to date on the coming weeks conferences and demonstrations pertaining to the Fire School taking place all over Minot.

On Saturday, August 20th, while most of New York is strolling through Central Park, perusing the Farmer's Market in Union Square, or fleeing to the Hamptons, Coney Island, or the Jersey Shore, a small but substantial group will gather at an undisclosed Manhattan location, legs limber and minds nimble, to compete in the fourth annual Haystack.
Never heard of it? Not many people haveyetbut word is spreading. The Haystack, along with other brain-busting puzzle hunts across the countrysuch as Boston's "MIT Mystery Hunt" or San Francisco's "The Game"takes puzzle solving outdoors. Lasting upwards of eight hours, and consisting of countless "think outside the box" conundrums, these aren't your grandpa's jigsaws. Think of them as extreme sports for the crossword set.
Still not quite sure what the Haystack is, exactly? The mystery is part of the fun. At its most basic, The Haystack is a game that uses Manhattan as its board. In the words of its website, thehaystack.org, "The Haystack is a puzzle. The Haystack is a race. The Haystack is an urban skirmish, a mental marathon, and an intricate dance."
At the designated starting pointwhich is revealed only on the morning of the huntteams of two to five players are given a puzzle that, once solved, directs them to another location in Manhattan. Once there, a new puzzle is presented, which leads to yet another spot. Solve a puzzle inolving stanzas of Shakespeare, for instance, and find directions to the reading room at the big Public Library branch on Fifth and 42nd. Terrain for the game can be as iconic and obvious as the library or the Empire State Building, but just as often includes the obscurea park bench, an unassuming intersection, a small overlooked statue.
The Haystack was conceived in 2001 by Jeff Bolas and Brian Wecht, and more recently, Derek Hays, who started as a contestant and now helps in the design process. Each year, the three spend months developing the 20-plus intricate puzzles that will make up that summer's Haystack. The puzzles vary greatly in difficulty and style, from cryptograms and crosswords to more abstract, original forms. Often, the challenges are interactive, requiring contestants to seek out specific people or certain objects in the city.
The grand prize? The Golden Needlean object the creators describe as "staggeringly insignificant." That's right, there is no fame or fortuneonly the glory that comes from being crowned the master of useless knowledge; the champion of what is essentially mental gymnastics.
The Haystack will kick off at noon on the 20th, and will likely run until 8 or 9 p.m. Participants can expect to trek from Harlem to Battery Park and everywhere in between. Competition is said to be good-natured but fierce, and much ribbing takes place amongst the player in the weeks preceding the hunt. In a post on the Haystack website, last year's second place team promises to win, saying the only reason they lost in 2004 was due to a non-competitive stop for gelatobut, "That won't happen again," they write.

Lt. Governor Rebecca Kleefisch asked a group in Green Bay Tuesday what excites them about tax reform.
Not necessarily two peas in a pod, the governor's administration is on a statewide tour, possibly on the verge of big tax reforms if Governor Walker has his way.
One idea being thrown around is reducing or eliminating the state's income tax.
"We need your guidance, and that's what these tax reform roundtables are all about," Kleefisch told the group of farmers, business owners, accountants and veterans at Northeast Wisconsin Technical College.
Seven states nationwide don't have an income tax at all - Alaska, Florida, Nevada, South Dakota, Texas, Washington and Wyoming.
New Hampshire and Tennessee only tax on certain amounts of dividend and interest income.
In return, these states find revenue elsewhere.
"For instances, Texas has oil and gas revenue," Richard Chandler said, secretary of the Department of Revenue. "Florida has substantial tourism revenues. Nevada has gaming revenue."
In Wisconsin, the administration says 53% of the state's general fund comes from the state income tax.
If you reduce that, some argue, it could be made up by an increase in sales tax.
Census bureau data, cited by the administration, shows between 2010-2011 the state's sales tax was 16% below the national average.
In reverse, the state's income tax was 28% higher than the national average.
"We've obviously got to find a way to fund road repairs and fund schools," Kleefisch said. "And so government does need revenue. And on the other hand people want to pay less in taxes. They want to keep more of their money."
State Democrats call the administration's tax reform push backwards.
"There's no other way to look at the elimination of an income tax, and having it replaced by a sales tax, is anything other than an attack on the working poor," Mike Tate said, chair of the state Democratic party.
The administration cautions any proposal is in its infant stage.
"Whether that becomes the solution on tax reform, I can't tell you at this point," Kleefisch said. "We need to see more people's reaction to this."

Recommend: Yes
I would have really been disappointed if I had paid full price. It is not as full as it appears. If I take the time I can add to it. The colors are pretty and the idea is good but it needs to be filled with more material.
Purchased this for my prayer sister
She lost her husband & 1st born this summer. The Lord gave her "Hope" as a word. I saw this and knew it was right. It didn't disappoint. It is proudly displayed on a beautiful wrought iron piece as you walk into her home.
The wreath was flattened after shipping, but once I fluffed up the fabric ties, it looks great. I probably could make something like this, but the time gathering materials and putting it together stopped that thought!
I love the homemade look of this with its poignant Christmas message. Going to love hanging it on a wall -- or possibly on the door!
Recommend: No
I sent this back. It did'nt lay right and I thought it was cheaply made. I order from Day Spring often and this is the frist time I sent some thing back

Multiple award-winning author Anne Fine visits Bancroft's Prep School in Woodford Green
Updated 4:02pm Monday 31st March 2014 in News By Douglas Patient, Reporter - Wanstead & Woodford
The former Children's Laureate spoke to students about the importance of literature during a visit to a school.
Pupils at Bancroft's Prep School in High Road, Woodford Green, heard from author Anne Fine on Thursday.
Anne Fine was the Children's Laureate from 2001 to 2003 and is the author of over 40 books for children and adults.
She has won 11 awards, including the Nestle Smarties Prize, the Guardian Children's Fiction Award, the Whitbread Award and has twice won the CILIP Carnegie Medal.
The 66-year-old spoke to children about how she gains inspiration from books, and she described the writing process in detail, which she likened to making a casserole.
Karen Yelverton, English Co-ordinator at Bancroft's Prep, said: "Anne Fine is an inspirational author with a wealth of fascinating tales to share. The children loved her."

Franklin County School leaders are working together to give at-risk students the alternative education they need to succeed.
"There are kids that have very complicated lives that need additional support or non-traditional support," says Sue Rogers, Franklin County Assistant Superintendent.
The school requested a little more than $105,000 in additional funds for next year's budget. They hope to use the money to create a position, like a guidance counselor or social worker, and to design an alternative education center. The school used to have something similar to alternative education center, called the 'Idea Center,' several years ago, but it was shut down due to budge constraints.
"Long range, we want to put in a academy to address needs at both high school and middle school," says Keith Pennington, Franklin County Curriculum and Instruction Director.

Beckfoot Bridge (also known as the Packhorse Bridge) was historically a significant crossing point over Harden Beck in Bingley, West Yorkshire, England. It was constructed alongside the historical ford across the beck. It is wide enough for pedestrians or single file horses. In 1974 it was given grade II listed building status.[1]
