Bookmasters went out of their way to make sure I understood each step of the process and answered my many questions.
Jim Conover
Bookmasters went out of their way to make sure I understood each step of the process and answered my many questions.
Jim Conover
I am Bookmasters' new marketing intern. We decided that it was time for me to write a blog post, but I have never done this before—so bear with me.
Just as you might be a first-time, self-publishing author who has no idea what to do after writing your book, I am also new to the publishing industry. Before starting at Bookmasters three weeks ago, I really didn't know what to expect.
However, I did know that I was going to be the marketing intern…so marketing must be involved.
I was right. Yes, marketing is a part of the publishing industry, and it is a service that Bookmasters provides.
I was overwhelmed during my first marketing team meeting. Words and phrases, such as "NetGalley," "ForeWord/Clarion Review," and "Review & Media Strategy" were repeated, and I honestly didn't know what they meant.
Luckily, I quickly learned. I am still learning, and I am excited about it.
How did I learn? One of things that really helped me get an understanding of what the marketing team does was Bookmasters' marketing services kit. Bookmasters revised their previously 40-page Word document of book marketing services and trimmed it down to four (thank you!).
This kit lists and describes the six marketing packages Bookmasters has to offer, and it reviews Bookmasters' most popular à la carte services to make it easy for you to decide which strategies are the best fit to promote you and your book.
After putting all of the effort into writing your book, you want people to know about it and to read it. This is why marketing is definitely something to consider. And don't worry—Bookmasters has marketing strategies for all budgets.

Another company is switching sides when it comes to the state line.
This time, insurance company The Miller Group is moving from Kansas City to Overland Park.
The company's move from their current south Kansas City office to Overland Park is one of several recent state-to-state switcheroos.
The moves have headed in both directions, but the bottom line is not as dramatic as it could be farther in-state.
It is unknown, if any, what sort of incentive prompted The Miller Group to select their new Kansas location at College Boulevard and Lamar Avenue for a September expansion.
"You can't attribute business location just to one factor, the level of taxes. You cannot do that," said Steve Bell, a professor of economics at Park University. "Business regulations would be another factor from state to state."
Tax incentive battles have heated up in recent years. They include state business and income taxes, as well as local and county property tax abatements and moratoriums.
The Miller Group's chief executive officer said the employee benefit firm of 60 people was outgrowing their Missouri space and plans to add 80 jobs over five years in their new, leased Kansas space.
Still, it is hard to say who wins or by how much, especially in a bi-state metro where the spillover spending impact isn't something on which either state can count.
"To say that just because you relocate to Kansas that you can count on this spillover effect of an upsurge of spending and of sales tax revenue from newly relocated families is probably not true in a setting where someone is within commuter distance of a business from across the state line," Bell said.
When it comes to attracting a business from outside either state, he worries the inter-state tax battles could do more harm than good.
Bell said he would like to see more bi-state coalitions that focus on regional success rather than a battle between neighbors.
The battle between Kansas and Missouri over businesses has been going on for years.
Some of the most notable transitions include Freightquote.com moving their 1,000 employees from Lenexa to south Kansas City.
Another includes J.P. Morgan moving to Overland Park to Kansas City with 900 employees in tow and AMC packing up 450 workers and heading to Leawood.
Adding in some of the smaller moves like General Electric, Teva Neuroscience and AB May the scorecard shows Kansas has drawn more than 2,100 employees from Missouri.
The Show Me State has only lured just more than 1,800.
It is a difference of about 300 workers, and that is not including the number of jobs companies commit to creating when they cross the border.
Earlier this month, Kansas Gov. Sam Brownback was at the AMC headquarters opening.
He said during that event he would be open to "negotiating something" with Missouri Gov. Jay Nixon over the border war.
At this time, there has been no announcement of anything official set up.

iPad danger: app v. web, consumer v. creator
Brian Manzullo said: "The iPad is retrograde. It tries to turn us back into an audience again. That is why media companies and advertisers are embracing it so fervently, because they think it returns us all to their good old days when we just consumed, we didn't create, when they controlled our media experience and business models and we came to them."

How Topic Pages Can Give Readers a Bird's-Eye View of the News
Daniel Bachhuber said: Poynter highlights Ryan Pitt's work at The Spokesman-Review. It would be interesting to hear the specifics of how the news organization is defining success, and whether reader engagement is tracking to it.
The nature of news means that much of our work appeals to readers for only a short time. Topic pages that include summaries, however, have a longer shelf life; they can funnel readers to those stories for years to come. They take advantage of the Web by supplying links that are lacking within stories. And though The Spokesman-Review hasn't seen a traffic bump from its topic pages, they could gain audience, inbound links, and more opportunity for revenue.

Daniel Bachhuber said: Custom Post Types look awesome and will be a huge step forward for WordPress.
Why would we want to play around with custom fields, or add stupid meta boxes in the Edit Posts page and then teach our clients and/or content managers to use them? Why not just get rid of all those stuff and have them seperately in your main menu, and the meta boxes are customized to match the exact needs of certain post types.
The Future Newsroom: Lean, Open, and Social Media-Savvy
Daniel Bachhuber said: Culture clash between Onward State and The Daily Collegian, and the newcomer is on the offensive.
It should be no surprise then that Onward State happily promotes a competitor's story with direct links, while The Collegian questions the very logic of such a strategy. Shaver admitted that he doesn't always produce the web's best content, and has "no qualms about writing the blog post and porting to the story." For Skena, linking to a competitor's story "doesn't make sense." A symbolic move which tells readers to "go read our competition" would be devastating to the trust they've worked for over a century to gain, according to Skena.
The problem with comments isn't them
Brian Manzullo said: The problem with online commenting is not necessarily identities or tools — it's the timing, and how you play host.

KCBD has obtained the name of the person suspected of driving the vehicle that struck and killed Jose Trejo in late July. Trejo's wife Jennifer was also injured in the accident.
Through an affidavit for a search warrant Lubbock Police say Lubbock resident Sammy Ortega, 25, admitted to driving the suspected vehicle through a statement to LPD.
Police found the suspect vehicle with blood and hair on it. The vehicle's condition was consistent with the scene of the accident. LPD says the driver of the vehicle fled the scene of the accident on July 28th.
Ortega has not been arrested or charged yet. In his statement to police, Ortega said he had given another man a ride before to the accident.
When police contacted that man to corroborate Ortega's story, he said he was not with Ortega prior to the crash. The man said the only knowledge he had of the incident was what Ortega had provided him to say, through a text message, if questioned.
Lubbock Police obtained a subpoena for Ortega's phone records. There was also a search warrant signed and executed Thursday.
We're told there were items seized and they're being processed at this time. Police hope to take action once the results from processing come in.

But what have democrats been doing?
No dicipline, half or more vote for the Bush - GOP - copnservative agenda nearly every single time because they are afraid to stand up to the opposition. They are afraid of being called obstructionists or they are afraid of being called un-patriotic by the gop.
But if the democrats can define a vision and apply it to EVERY SINGLE VOTE that comes up in congress AND if they they can enforce some significant degree of parlimentary discipline, only then will will they start to earn back some of the respect they have universally lost.
Without this degree of unity on large and small issues, democrats will continue to be held up as a prime example of opportunism and as having no principles that guide them.
The right vision will be one that attracts support from the lost constiuencies that have re-defined themselves with repsect to the gop narrative Chris described.

First thoughts on George Osborne's Autumn Statement
The numbers in the Chancellor's statement show a far weaker economic picture than the government had hoped for and some heroic assumptions.
The numbers in the Chancellor's statement show a far weaker economic picture than the government had hoped for and some heroic assumptions.
George Osborne has this lunchtime delivered his Autumn statement. Set out below is a brief summary of the impacts it will have on Wales.
Welsh politicians are watching closely as George Osborne's latest spending plans are unveiled
Ahead of the Chancellor's Autumn Statement this afternoon the Institute of Directors in Wales has issued an overriding message that he must stick to his fiscal targets, whilst ensuring the transport and energy infrastructure and tax system provide a firm basis for economic recovery.
– Robert Lloyd Griffiths, director of the IoD in Wales
George Osborne is in a difficult position. The global economy has been much rockier over the last two years than most expected; growth has been weaker and public borrowing higher than we hoped.
Some would like The Chancellor to abandon his targets and embrace bigger deficits, but he must hold his nerve. It's only through controlling public debt that Britain will retain the confidence of the markets and create strong foundations for recovery.
The Chancellor, George Osborne, is expected to deliver his Autumn Statement this lunchtime.
The Statement provides an update on the Government's plans for the economy based on the latest forecasts from the Office for Budget Responsibility.
Amongst the key points expected to be announced are deeper cuts to the welfare budget and the planned 3p fuel duty rise in January will be postponed until August.
Earlier this week, the Chancellor admitted it is taking longer to tackle the problems with Government finances than expected but said he would be sticking with his deficit-reduction programme despite being unlikely to meet his own targets on public spending.

Kicked Out of Two Homeschool Conferences
Answers in Genesis, recognized as one of the strongest advocates for homeschooling in America, has been kicked out of two homeschool conventions where AiG President Ken Ham had been scheduled to speak. In addition, AiG as an exhibitor has also been expelled. One of the conferences is being held in our "backyard": at the Cincinnati Convention Center.
AiG Website
I was there at the Greenville, SC homeschool convention and sat in most of Ken Ham's sessions. I was, in fact, in the session in which Dr. Ham discussed the issues with Dr. Peter Enns.
I did not think that Dr. Ham was out of line, rude nor "mean-spirited". This is a case of "the truth hurts". One of the problems in today's church is that men of God are not standing up to defend God's Word. We have very few "wall watchers" left and desperately need more! Since when is presenting, with facts/video, an opposing view wrong!?
Dr. Ham, it was a pleasure to listen to you (again!). Please, please continue to stand up for the Word of God. Heaven is cheering you on!
Hey states, homeschooling can save your budgets
[tongue in check mode on]
PROVIDENCE, R.I. — The financially troubled city of Providence on Tuesday issued layoff notices to all its nearly 2,000 teachers [FoxNews]
With unemployment high and states having budget issues and looking to cut their education budgets, I have an idea. HOMESCHOOLING!
While mom and/or dad are home collecting their unemployment checks, we have an available force of home educators! On the average, I spend less than $1000 per child per year to educate my child; while in South Carolina, more than $10,000 per child per year is spent by the government school system. So if these parents would homeschool their children, school districts would see about a 90% reduction in the cost to educate students.
Many studies have been done that show that most parents are as good, if not better, than the average government school educator.
But I bet a lot of these moms and dads would find jobs fast — also solving our unemployment issue!

From Lifehacker: Get Netflix Working in Chrome with a User Agent String
Get Netflix Working in Chrome with a User Agent String
Justin shares a fix for when Netflix doesn't cooperate with your browser:
I use Chrome to watch Netflix using Instant Play. It worked last night, but would not work this morning – it redirected me to a page that said I'm using an unsupported browser when I attempted to play a
movie. I called up Netflix, who told me that there was a new change in Chrome that prohibited it from launching Netflix. You and I both know that's not the case, Netflix simply added browser identification to their page. It is especially curious, since Chrome uses the same rendering engine that Safari does, and Netflix tech support stated that Safari is a supported browser.
The fix is to change your user agent string. This is super-easy with Chrome: just make a new desktop shortcut, and add the following to the target:
--user-agent="agent string goes here"
So, in my case, the target looks like this:
chrome.exe --user-agent="Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 6.1;
en-US; rv:220.127.116.11) Gecko/20101026 Firefox/3.6.12"
You can obtain your user agent string for another browser by visiting Useragentstring.com.
You can use this shortcut to launch a new Chrome window even if it's currently open, so there's no need to interrupt your bazillion open tabs to fire up your netflix stream. I prefer to use Chrome to view
Netflix, since it uses a lot less memory than Firefox or IE does (after loading Silverlight). Your miles may vary, of course.
"kiss those dreams of a Verizon iPhone good-bye"
Sorry, Google: Verizon expanding V CAST app store to Android | GottaBeMobile
Side note: You can pretty much kiss those dreams of a Verizon iPhone good-bye. Maybe Apple will offer an unsubsidized model that runs on VZW, but don't expect those two to come together on a subsidy deal. Verizon doesn't need the iPhone, and Apple won't agree to give Verizon any control over the device.
I have to agree. There is no way Apple will bow to Verizon..

Pats coach Belichick breaks silence on HernandezBy HOWARD ULMAN=AP Sports Writer= FOXBOROUGH, Mass. (AP) _ New England Patriots coach Bill Belichick broke his silence Wednesday four weeks after former Patriots tight end Aaron Hernandez was charged with murder.
Belichick says the Patriots will learn from ``this terrible experience,'' and that it's time for New England to ``move forward.''
Team owner Robert Kraft has said he was ``duped'' by Hernandez. Tom Brady and the team's other five captains are scheduled to speak with reporters on Thursday when training camp opens. The first practice is set for Friday.
Hernandez has pleaded not guilty after being arrested and charged on June 26 in the shooting death of Boston semi-professional football player Odin Lloyd on June 17. Lloyd's body was found in an industrial park near the North Attleborough home of Hernandez.
``We'll continue to evaluate the way that we do things, the way that we evaluate our players and we'll do it on a regular basis,'' Belichick said. ``I'm not perfect on that, but I always do what I think is best for the football team.'' AP-WF-07-24-13 1805GMT

Midnight Madnesses are always great for the fans - except Maryland ones, of course, which are invariably mind-numbing and dull - but the biggest practical impact comes elsewhere: recruiting. There's never a better, more convenient time for a program to sell itself to recruits, and if I had to guess I'd say that more recruits country-wide commit during or directly after Madness than at any other point in the recruiting cycle.
(Not that that says much, of course, since there are 200, maybe 250 recruits who really matter, and they're usually recruited for a period of like two years. So, like, three commit due to Madness, and that blows everything else out of the water. Whatever. Regardless of the scale, the point stands.)
But Maryland's particular version of Madness has come up a bit short in the recruiting department, just as it has in the entertainment one. (Wouldn't be surprised if those are connected, actually.) Last year's haul was pretty pedestrian, and I can't remember the last time they had a truly elite recruit in the building.
It looks like that'll continue this year, with both Dwayne Morgan and Roddy Peters electing to head elsewhere - Morgan going I don't know where and Peters heading to Rutgers. Throw in Rysheed Jordan writing Maryland off, and things are kinda-sorta in flux for the Terrapins as far as basketball recruiting goes.
[UPDATE: Evan Daniels saying that Peters has now called off his visit to Rutgers and is headed to Maryland instead. That is, presumably, for Maryland Madness, as has been the rumor.]
As per usual, we'll try to keep a running list going of those who we know will be attending. Morgan and Peters were both thought to be on their way earlier, but now that they're off the pickings are fairly slim. I'll update this list today and tomorrow as new names pop up - and they will, especially tomorrow. But for now:
Phil Booth, 6-2 combo guard in c/o 2014, Mt. St. Joe's (Baltimore, Md.) (via)
Tariq Owens, 6-8 combo forward in c/o 2014, St. Vincent Pallotti (Laurel, Md.) (via)
Romelo Trimble, 6-2 combo guard in c/o 2014, Bishop O'Connell (Arlington, Va.) (via)
Damonte Dodd, 6-9 center in c/o 2013, Massanutten (Centreville, Md.) (via)
Obi Enechionyia, 6-8 combo forward in c/o 2014, St. James (St. James, Md.) (via)
Dion Wiley, 6-3 combo guard in c/o 2014, Potomac (Oxon Hill, Md.) (via)
Roddy Peters, 6-4 point guard in c/p 2013, Suitland (Suitland, Md.) (via)
There are rumors about the likes of Dion Wiley and Obi Enechionyia visiting as well, and once those are "confirmed" we'll add them as well. I'm not sure it's a particularly impressive list even with them, but they certainly add to the depth present.

Filed under Exercise programs
Here's a workout composed of 5 exercises in a series of movements with special emphasis on the waist, hips, thighs and upper body strength.
Do this series of exercises every other day in an area where you have some room to move around. It should take about 20 minutes to complete the routine. Follow the order as presented here and after 4 weeks, change things up by doing these 4 exercises in reverse order.
Begin by focusing your mind and breath to the center of your body at a point 2 inches below your navel inside your abdomen. This will help to center you and focus your energy on the movements.
The exercises in order are:
The Horse Series and Tiger Squat – These exercises are based on the poses encountered in the martial arts and Qi Gong. It helps to visualize yourself as a martial artist practicing your moves (katas). Have fun and try to let go and let your body flow naturally with this one. Although it looks easy, your thighs will burn quickly. Your goal is to do the full 5 minute series but you can start with less time and gradually increase as you get stronger.
Lunges in All Directions – Be ready to a lunatic lunging set. You'll lunge in all directions, stimulating every fiber of thigh, hip and butt muscles. Do one giant superset of all the lunge variations with one leg forward and then repeat with the other leg forward. One giant set is enough, your legs will be screaming!
World's Best Butt Exercise – This exercise is based on the arabesque ballet position which is basically a one legged stance with the opposite leg extended directly behind. I call it the world's best butt exercise because kinesiological research has demonstrated intense stimulation of the gluteus maximus muscle during this exercise, especially when you rotate your body side to side.
Start with 3-5 reps performed slowly on each leg and progress to 10 reps per side as a goal.
Upper Body Strengthener or how to build up your push up strength! If you have difficulty performing a standard push up, follow this video precisely and within a month you'll be able to complete 4 or 5 push ups.
If you are already strong enough to do a few pushups, then perform 8 repetitions of each movement here for 2 sets. In either case, keep your elbows close to your ribs to best recruit the strong muscles of your torso.
Ab Exercises for A Slim, Trim Tummy – This series is a Pilates inspired abdominal workout and it's tough! I've added some advanced moves towards the end of the routine so take your time and progress with the routine at your own pace. Perform 5-8 repetitions of each exercise.
BONUS EXERCISE – Centering and Agility Exercise- Here's something else for you to try, especially if you want to more deeply focus on the way your body moves and responds to exercise.
We start with the five step powercentering body awareness exercise which is a method to connect your mind and body through your core. You can practice this for a few moments at the beginning or end of your exercise routine.
Next, you get to practice your agility and balance with the two step exercise that's based on the fluid movements of the martial art Aikido.
This exercise is a great way to test and train for balance and agility.
So there you have it! A quick and highly effective routine to create a super tone and hot body!

Teacher quality
Principal leadership
Parent involvement
wonderful teachers that care for their students. Great safe school. My grandson feels so at home with all the teachers. Lots of family nights where parents can meet other parents through their kids. Worth every penny. 1st grader and already knows multiplication and some division.
I recommend West Shore to anyone seeking to give their child the opportunity to do their best, in a safe environment. West Shore is about teamwork, parents and teachers working together to help the student achieve their full potential. What more can a Christian parent ask for in a teacher, than one that prays for their students?
We are thrilled with this school. Mrs. Jensen is a wonderful preschool teacher, so patient and kind. We strongly recommend this school.
We have 3 children in this school, and they have all been at West SHore Lutheran School since pre-school. I was raised in public school and I am astonished at the difference. The biggest and best area of praise for this school is that the teachers teach and model the christian life each day. That alone would keep my kids firmly rooted at West Shore. Now add academic excellence to my children's education and you will see why we are so pleased with this school. You would be hard pressed to find a better school for your child.
My son has attended WSLS since be began pre-school. He entered kindergarten not knowing how to read and came out reading at a 4th grade level! The commitment of the teachers and staff far exceeds anything I have ever experienced in the public school setting. What I find interesting is that several of the children who attend this school have parents who are teachers in the local public school district. I think that alone speaks volumes about the quality of the education each child receives. Parents are highly involved and it is encouraged. Families matter! My son is now in the 3rd grade and he is allowed to attend classes at whatever grade level matches his abilities. That's not something you find in many other school. I live in the Mona Shores district and as long as I have the means, he'll stay at WSLS.
West Shore Lutheran is an incredible school that teaches a Christian life. The staff practice what they teach the children in their everyday life, in or outside school. Our oldest daughter went to West Shore and her public school teachers knew right away she was a student at West Shore because of her outstanding academic and social behavior. Many of her teachers commented they enjoy having a West Shore student in their classes because of this. We expect the same accolades when our younger son finishes West Shore Lutheran School and goes into public. We cannot recommend West Shore enough to any parent, and they offer tuition scholarships.
I am a past parent and I can't say enough about West Shore Lutheran School. The staff goes the extra mile for every student. Students graduate the 8th grade and excel in the High School of their choice! High expectations and low discipline problems - great place for your son or daughter to grow and mature into a teenager.
My son is in preschool at West Shore Lutheran. I was very nervous about sending my son to school as I am a stay at home mom and former teacher and social worker of abused children. I love West Shore Lutheran and so does my son. I feel very comfortable sending him to school and know that he is in a safe, caring, educational environment while he is out of my care. I highly recommend this school.
This school offers such a great education for children. I myself went there from preschool until 8th grade. My mom works as the 3rd & 4th grade teacher. West Shore offers everything that other schools offer, just with a Christian education.
This is the best private school ever!! You have the availability to be involved in 3 sports as a team. Other than that you do more sports in gym class. Parents are very involved in everything and each kid gets very personal attention from the teacher. That is the good thing about having a smaller size school.

I sometimes get aggravated by people who don't understand the difference between a dice and a chop, or that don't know to just leave the onions alone so they can brown. Then, I take a step back, knowing that I was lucky to be surrounded by people that cooked and spent time showing me to do the same.
In particular, this is an homage to those mothers and grandmothers that have taught me how to use my hands, how to bring dinner to the table, and how to have fun with my food.
My great-grandmother who knew just exactly how much butter and sugar to sprinkle on a pancake. Also, the same Depression-era great-grandmother who really taught me to reconsider the amount of peel I took off of a potato.
My grandmother's bread recipes that are made with simple ingredients and yet come out beautifully every single time.
My step-grandmother who brought a pack of gangly preteens out to nice restaurants and showed us that there was nothing to be intimidated about–that the food and the love was still there and available to us.
Recipes of Christmas sugar cookies that have come down from every branch of the family, each similar but unique in the memories of the adults who ate them as children.
My mother-in-law who taught me the secrets of Southern food, squash, and pie crust. With that came learning just how to relax, knowing that the food would get to the table, even if there were six, or ten, or fifteen hungry people waiting for it.
Finally, of course, my mother who has always guided my hands in the kitchen, introducing me to new ingredients, and strategizing menu options with me over the phone as I plan out dinner parties.
My mother is just as capable at serving up curry, or filet mignon, or party appetizers for dinner. From her, I've learned to use the most local, fresh ingredients I can find, slice a bell pepper, and that sometimes it's perfectly okay to make a yellow box cake–if that's what your younger sister wants for her birthday…
What have you learned about food and cooking from your mothers and grandmothers (and great-grandmothers)?

Healthy, glowing skin is vital for a perfect look. But it doesn't happen by magic, unless you're very lucky. It usually needs a proper skincare routine and using the right products for your skin type. This doesn't have to involve a lot of effort – follow our simple, tried and tested tips to cleanse, moisturize, soothe and protect your way to beautiful, radiant skin.
1. Cleanse and tone
Never neglect to cleanse your skin. Removing makeup at night is especially important, as leaving it on your skin can block the pores and lead to dull skin or, conversely, acne and blemishes. Cleansing is also important to remove the dirt, sweat and oil that can become stuck in the skin's pores. Simply wash your face with a mild cleanser both in the morning and evening. Gently tone after cleansing to refresh and tighten the skin.
2. Gently exfoliate
Gentle exfoliation is essential to obtain smooth, glowing skin. It removes the dead outer layer of skin and reveals the beautiful new skin underneath. Take care not to overdo it, or you can irritate the skin.
3. Use the right product for moisturizing
Proper moisturizing is one of the best things you can do to obtain glowing, radiant skin. A good facial oil is perfect to revitalize and hydrate the delicate skin on your face and it is able to provide a deeper level of nourishment than water-based products, supporting your skin to maintain its natural barrier preventing moisture loss. If you have very oily skin, you could use a product with a lower oil content to support your skin type. Moisturizers are great for combination skin, too, helping to even out the areas of oiliness and dryness. Apply moisturizers after cleansing, before the skin has dried completely.
4. Protect from the elements
Protecting your skin is critical, whether it is against the sun's rays or harsh winds. Don't forget to bundle up with hats and gloves when it's cold. Wearing sunscreen every day helps to prevent premature skin ageing. Facial and body oils can be used to heal and regenerate the skin to ensure it remains soft and supple. They can be used under makeup on the face.
5. Soothe and support
Skin that has been exposed to the sun, wind or dry air can become dried out and suffer from redness and soreness. Some people have naturally dry or sensitive skin and they should take extra care when out and about in the sun or during winter months. Use facial and body oils to soothe skin that has suffered from the elements and give naturally dry and sensitive skin extra support. Your skin will be back to its natural radiance in no time!

What could be better? I wish that more of the commuter students took advantage of all of the opportunities at Georgia State.
What's the best place to hang out? I love the Recreation Center, as I take step class with my coworkers and occasionally climb the thirty-five-foot rock wall. I can take a ski trip to North Carolina with my friends for only $42, or I can catch my friends playing intramural soccer.
What's the best class? Freshman Learning Community. I took Global Ambassadors I FLC because I want to pursue a career in international affairs. You take all of your classes with the same twenty-four students throughout the first semester of college. It creates instant study groups, and I had a circle of friends immediately.
What do students like to do outside of class? A lot of people hang out at Library Plaza or meet up at Broad Street, where we can eat at Checkers, Taco Bell, Moe's, Tin Drum Cafe, or other restaurants. GSU students can walk ten minutes to catch a Thrashers or Hawks game, watch a concert at the Tabernacle or Philips Arena, or go to the Georgia Aquarium or World of Coca-Cola. It was also a lot of fun this past fall semester to tailgate and attend the football games. Our football program has definitely increased the Panther pride.

Take a quick stroll down memory lane with PFW for a recap of the Bears' Week 17 contests each of the last five seasons.
Bears rewarded for use of RB Forté
The coaching staff's decision to get RB Matt Forté more involved on offense, and Forté's response to the increased role, has played a role in Chicago's improvement on offense in the second half of the season.
Bears-Packers matchup of the day: Friday
PFW executive editor and resident Packers expert Dan Arkush presents the fourth of four key matchups this week in advance of the Packers' Week 17 game against the Bears at Lambeau Field.

Bears sign LS Mannelly, DT Toeaina to extensions
The Bears announced Monday that they have signed LS Patrick Mannelly and DT Matt Toeaina to contract extensions.
According to the Chicago Tribune, Gould has been placed on IR with a strained left calf suffered prior to Sunday's loss at Minnesota. The team has signed veteran Olindo Mare to handle kicking duties.||||||| Gould was hurt during warm-ups. He was kicking midrange field goals shortly before the game started without trouble, but punter Adam Podlesh handled the opening kickoff. The Bears reached the Vikings 35-yard line late in the first quarter, and Podlesh came out to punt. Gould made the extra point after Chicago's second-quarter touchdown.
Chicago Bears kicker Robbie Gould ripped the surface at Soldier Field and then apologized for it.||||||| Gould blasted the field on Wednesday, saying he might have to think about re-signing with Chicago when his contract expires after next season. He told reporters he hopes to remain with the Bears but isn't sure he wants "to deal with that as I get older as a kicker." He says the field has been "a lot softer" than in previous years. Later, however, the Bears issued a statement from Gould in which he apologized to the grounds crew.
Gould became the Chicago Bears' second-leading all-time scorer Monday night in Philadelphia.||||||| Gould passed the legendary Hall of Fame running back Walter Payton and now trails only Kevin Butler on the Bears' list.
Gould booted a 44-yard field goal with 15 seconds left to lift the Chicago Bears to a 17-14 victory over the Pittsburgh Steelers on Sunday.||||||| Gould has made all three of his field goal attempts and all three PATs through the first two games of the season. Look for him to get more opportunities as the Bears' offense gets more comfortable with quarterback Jay Cutler.
Gould became the highest paid kicker, agreeing to a five-year, $15.5 million contract extension with the Chicago Bears that includes a $4.25 million signing bonus on Monday. The deal runs through 2013.||||||| Gould has made 84 of 99 field goal attempts and 99 of 100 points-after-touchdown with the Bears. He hit 31 of 36 field goal attempts last season and made the Pro Bowl after the 2006 season, when he scored 143 points. Gould was an undrafted free agent out of Penn State in 2005. He first signed with New England, then spent time with Baltimore before going to the Bears in October of that year.

For the Carolina Panthers organization this draft isn't 'just like any other'. Even in the strike shortened, labor embattled 1987 season only one team had a top 5 pick in both the 1987 and 1988 drafts, the Tampa Bay Buccaneers who went from the #1 pick to the #4 selection. Like the 2011 Panthers, the 1987 Buccaneers saw a new coaching staff with the appointment of Ray Perkins and no pre-season. In short, labor issues, new coach and they still found a way to improve from 2-14 to 4-11, with scabs playing two weeks of the season no less.
The moral of this story is that you have to strike while the iron is hot. Those 1987 Bucs did when they took Vinny Testaverde #1 overall and it ultimately paid dividends.
Fast forward twenty four years and we have what could be the strangest NFL draft in recent memory, especially at QB. A class that was slammed just two months ago for being weak is now being pegged with eight possible QB selections in the first three rounds by some analysts (Newton, Gabbert, Locker, Mallett, Ponder, Dalton, Kaepernick, Stanzi). Compare this to last year when the third round closed with only Bradford, Tebow, Clausen and McCoy off the board and you have the makings of a class that maybe isn't as weak as it first appeared.
What must be considered when weighing QB options in 2011 isn't what happened a year ago, but what will happen in 2012 for QB prospects. We'll look at that... after the jump
As it stands here are the top 8 prospects at QB for the 2012 draft based on a concensus of Scout.com, NFLDraftScout and Walter Football average rankings.
1. Andrew Luck, Stanford (Projected #1 overall)
2. Matt Barkley, USC (Projected top 5 pick)
3. Landry Jones, Oklahoma (Projected top 5 pick)
4. Nick Foles, Arizona (Projected late 1st/early 2nd round)
5. Terrelle Pryor, Ohio State (Projected early 2nd round)
6. Tyler Wilson, Arkansas (Projected mid 3rd round)
7. Kellen Moore, Boise State (Projected early 4th round)
8. John Brantley, Florida (Projected mid 4th round)
What immediately jumps out is the top end talent in the 2012 draft, but the talent level falls off a cliff once you get past those top three QBs. There is much less stratification across the draft class. It would seem that in order for the Carolina Panthers to get Luck, Barkley or Jones they would need to be as bad in 2011 as they were in 2010.
On that point, here's some food for thought: There are at least two games the Panthers could have won this year, but left them on the table in the final plays (at New Orleans and at Cleveland). If the Panthers had done the sensible thing and kicked field goals in each of these occasions the team would have been 4-12 and could be holding the #4 pick right now, not the #1 pick.
Every year there are players that jump up and fall off draft boards, so it's fully possible Nick Foles could wow us and become a top 15 pick, but really, should the Panthers be gambling on the idea they'll be terrible again in 2012? If so, and they decide to wait on a QB then who do you like in 2012 better than the 2011 class? Andrew Luck obviously, and possibly Landry Jones... but is this a 'bird in the hand is worth two in the bush' situation?

The U.S. Chemical Safety Board says the accident was caused by organizational and safety deficiencies at all levels of BP. The report calls for safety improvements. CSB chair Carolyn Merritt says energy companies need to pay attention to process safety, which focuses on the prevention of mishaps rather than personal safety issues like slips, trips and falls.
"Process safety programs to protect the lives of workers and the public deserve the same level of attention, investment and scrutiny as companies now dedicate to managing their financial records. The boards of directors of oil and chemical companies should examine every detail of their process safety program to ensure that another terrible tragedies like the one at BP never occurs again."
The CSB report also finds fault with the Occupational Safety and Health Administration, saying regulatory oversight of refinery workers needs to be improved. Don Holmstrom is lead investigator for the CSB report.
"The investigation found that OSHA conducted only one planned process safety management inspection at the Texas city refinery--in 1998--although the refinery experienced numerous fatal incidents from 1985 to 2005. OSHA's national focus is on inspecting facilities with high injury rates. While that is important, it has resulted in reduced attention to preventing less frequent, but catastrophic, process safety incidents such as the one at Texas City."
Holmstrom says cost-cutting, production pressures and insufficient investment caused a progressive deterioration of safety at the refinery. Holmstrom also puts some blame on fatigue.
"By March 23rd, operators had been working 12-hour shifts for 29 or more consecutive days. Fatigue causes cognitive fixation and impaired judgment and could lead operators to fix on one operational parameter to the exclusion of other indicators. The ability to solve complex problems diminishes."
The CSB recommends an additional appointment to the BP board with expertise in refining operations and process safety. Evaluate all process units and all instrumentation. And require that knowledgeable supervisors be present during hazardous operations such as unit start-ups. Merritt says the March 23rd, 2005 mishap was avoidable.
"In my view, it was the inevitable result of a series of actions by the company: among these things, they cut costs that affected maintenance and safety, they ignored the implications of previous incidents that were red warning flags. There was a broken safety culture at BP."
Ed Mayberry, Houston Public Radio News.

Role change (again): Third baseman Lonnie Chisenhall is returning to Class A Kinston's every day lineup Wednesday. The Indians moved Chisenhall to the bullpen for two appearances because they felt they may need his help in Cleveland. Chisenhall, hitting .326/390/528 as a third baseman, had trouble adjusting to the pen. He still could hit his way to Cleveland this season because outside of Asdrubal Cabrera, nobody seems to be able to catch and hit at the same time.

Hi Marie-Laure,
To clarify, do you mean that you would like the other airline to issue a Billing Memo for an amount larger than specified in the correspondence? If you can simply check the box "Authority to Debit" and amend the amount.
If I have misunderstood your query please let me know.
From: KAGY Marie-LaurePosted At: February-12-13 6:57 PMPosted To: SIS Forums - Rules, Policies, & CodesConversation: CorrespondenceSubject: Correspondence
Good morning Ashley,
As we are working after a 1st correspondence received and that requests an authority to debit, we have come to the conclusion that our last rejection memo (3rd one) was under-debited.
Therefore, instead of accepting or refusing the authority to debit, we wish to express that now with our 2nd correspondence, we revert an authority to debit for a complementary amount.
How should this be shown in IS-Web ? Can we just change the amount now in dispute, and IS-Web will automatically know in favour of which airline the amount is approved when any of the partners checks the box "authority to debit" ?
Thank you for your confirmation, hoping that I made myself clear...
Best regards
Hi Marie Laure,
Since the other member has initiated the correspondence, the system will not allow you to raise a Billing memo quoting this correspondence number. You can continue to correspond with the other member and ask them to give you authority. Once they agree then raise a billing memo with reason codes like (8Z OTHER FOR PAX or 99 OTHER FOR CARGO). Make sure to give additional details regarding this correspondence so that the other member will accept your billing.
thanks and regards

12:00pm Thursday 16th January 2014 in News
Hundreds more students will be heading to Horsforth as part of a new university's plans to increase its numbers.
Leeds Trinity University, which is based in the town, wants to increase student numbers from 3,250 to 4,000 over the next ten years.
And it has told residents the influx will mean more developments on its campus.
Leeds Trinity, which was granted university status in 2012, has held a meeting with local people to discuss its future plans. The meeting was described as the first of many about community collaboration and developments on campus.

"The Tonight Show" has laid off two dozen staff members and Jay Leno took a massive pay cut, following budget cuts.
Leno accepted a pay cut, reportedly in order to spare other staff members from losing their jobs as well. NBC Universal made the cutbacks on Friday, an insider told the Associated Press.
The payroll cuts affected 10 percent of staffers on the late night show, which remains the top-rated program in its timeslot.
Leno's annual salary was between $25 million and $30 million a year, before the cuts. His salary as host of "The Tonight Show" has reportedly been reduced to $20 million. He also earns a substantial amount doing stand-up tours.
"Jay's foremost concern is for the wonderful people who work with him at 'The Tonight Show,'" Leno's spokesman Bruce Bobbins told the Associated Press. "He did what was necessary to ensure their well-being."
Despite decent ratings, "The Late Show" was not bringing in a profit. The show's weekly budget was reportedly cut by $600,000 to $1.7 million.
Leno, a standup comedian and Massachusetts native, hosted "The Tonight Show" between 1992 and 2009, after which O'Brien took over for seven months. Leno regained his position after O'Brien left the network last year as part of an NBC shake-up.

Everyone hates Nick Punto. My brother, a fellow Twins fan, actively wishes harm upon him, under the logic that Punto can't make the Twins worse if he's injured. Every time his name is mentioned in a discussion thread, it's inevitably followed by a dozen calls to release, bench, or defenestrate him. Luis Rivas, who was so bad that he led the Twins to try Michael Cuddyer at second base, received more respect in the Twins blogosphere than Punto does right now.
Yet, just a few short years ago, Nick Punto represented everything that was great about the Twins. When Ozzie Guillen coined the "piranhas" term, Punto was unquestionably their leader. He was like an evolutionary Denny Hocking - he was the ultimate utility man, someone who could play any position well and switch hit, and he always played hard and looked like he was having fun. Everyone loved Nick Punto.
In the span of four years, Nick Punto went from the most overrated player on the Twins to the most underrated (or, at least, most despised) player on the Twins. My question: Why can't we properly rate him?Part of the problem, of course, is that Punto is so polarizing. It's not that everyone has an opinion on Punto - we all have an opinion on Jose Morales, too. But no one suggests we release Jose Morales outright, even when he gives up stolen bases to guys who run like they should be in wheelchairs. I've come up with three primary reasons why the opinions on Nick Punto are so strong:
Inconsistency - In one of the more bizarre patterns I've ever seen in Major League Baseball, Punto has gone four consecutive years without putting up a batting average within 20 points of his career mark. His OPS has either increased or decreased by over 100 for three straight years (preceded by an 89-point swing). For all the "you know what you're getting from Nick Punto - great defense and no offense" comments we see and hear, we really don't have any idea what we're getting from Nick Punto offensively, unless you put stock in the even/odd years pattern.
His reputation is especially hurt by the fact that his good and bad years have alternated - he has entered his bad years with high expectations, and he has entered his good years as a part-time player whose positive contribution isn't noticed until the end of the year, if at all. In 2008, the primary response to people pointing out that Punto had a better offensive year than 2006 seemed to be "Really? I hadn't noticed."
Style - Remember the Fire Joe Morgan blog? They were the greatest mockers of baseball "journalism" on the planet, and one of their favorite targets was David Eckstein. Their issue wasn't so much Eckstein himself, but the way he was inevitably described: "Scrappy." "Gritty." "A grinder." "A guy who's not afraid to get his uniform dirty." The fawning descriptions of a good-but-not-great player made an excellent target for FJM's hyper-logical mockery. On the Twins, Nick Punto is the Grinder in Chief. No player on Minnesota's team embodies the "little guy who gets by on guts and hustle" like Nick Punto.
Part of FJM's legacy (which was generally positive) was a backlash against Eckstein-esque players in the baseball blogosphere. Those players were so overrated by the mainstream media that the blogosphere appeared to develop an active "anti-grinder" bias in response, and Punto bears the brunt of that on the Twins.
Playing time - Inevitably, long anti-Punto rants are tempered by, "You know, it's not really that I hate Punto; it's that I hate Gardy for playing him so much." Punto has, during his five years with the Twins, gotten an extraordinary amount of playing time for a guy who's nominally a utility infielder. Much of the Punto hate is described as a side effect of a "bigger problem", that Ron Gardenhire prefers scrappy utility types over players with more offensive skill or upside.
For all those reasons, Nick Punto has become the player Twins fans love to hate. But I can't bring myself to jump on that bandwagon...
I guess some of my feelings stem from the fact that in my own sports career, I am Nick Punto. In youth baseball, my hitting prowess topped out at "mediocre", but I was always good with the glove, and I could play any position. Now that I'm an overweight 30-year-old playing slow-pitch church league softball, I'm mostly a singles hitter who's competent wherever I'm needed in the field. I can't hate Nick Punto's game, because what does that say about mine?
Beyond that, though, Punto just isn't that bad a player. Yeah, he's overpaid. So are a hundred other players in Major League Baseball. If you're going to have an overpaid guy on your team, it may as well be the guy who has arguably the best combination of defensive skill and versatility in the league, especially if he's only overpaid by a couple million dollars a year. He also possesses the ability to get on base - the single most valuable offensive skill in baseball - even when he's not hitting well, thanks to a walk rate that he is able to maintain (or even increase) when his batting average dips. He never will hit for power, but the Twins have seven other guys who are paid to do that, and none of them would be Gold Glove candidates at three different positions (okay, maybe Joe Mauer would).
Nick Punto is not a great Major League Baseball player. He is what he is - a great defender who can play any infield position, may or may not provide offense, and is best-suited to be a utility infielder. He will win the hearts of traditionalists with his hustle and grit and heart. He will earn the ire of bloggers with his slides into first and inconsistency and popped-up bunts. He will continue to get regular playing time for the Twins while the aforementioned bloggers make their "Gardy's love child" jokes.
Nick Punto is not a great Major League Baseball player. But I'm glad he's on my favorite team.

Unforgettable is what it's been
Ravens: Since announcing move, owner has endured stadium uncertainty, illness and strained friendships

"In general, I'm fine. I do tire easily," he said.
"I want to move and get into a new house," Modell said.
He paid $2.3 million in June for a five-acre estate in Hunt Valley, but it's being renovated, and he and his wife, Pat, have been living in a downtown hotel for the past year.
He said they've found a few favorite restaurants and are enjoying the new city, although there hasn't been a lot of time for socializing.
One local delicacy he's still working on is crabs. "I could survive with or without them," he said.
His 35-year-old son, David, has assumed a larger role with the team in Baltimore, overseeing the marketing and representing it at many civic functions. His other son, John, 36, a Los Angeles musician, also has become involved, flying in and helping with the sound system on game days.
Long active in Ohio Republican politics, Modell said he's not sure what his role will be in Maryland government, which is dominated by Democrats.
Republican presidential candidate Bob Dole, whom Modell has supported for years, approached the team owner last fall about helping with the Ohio campaign. Modell was about to move the team and didn't want to take on the extra duties.
"I said I can't, that I'm about to do something that might embarrass you," Modell said.
With the blur of the move, and the resulting need to rename the team, design uniforms, sell tickets and get Memorial Stadium ready, he has had little time for longer-term projects such as a new training complex. He said he wants to replace the old Colts complex at Owings Mills, but is in no hurry.
"We'll definitely have a new complex. I have no idea where or when. We'll build something in five years, though," he said.
His goal with the team is to have a contender by the time the new $190 million downtown stadium, under construction adjacent to Oriole Park, opens in 1998.
"I want to have an elite team no later than our first year at Camden Yards," he said.

It's extremely easy. First, get Timeline early. Then scroll down to a particular year of your life. Say, 2010. In that year, I made 51 friends, Facebook tells me (that's it?!). I can click that number and see a list. Great! I'm still friends with almost all of them, which Timeline notes. Aw.
Except next to a few names, I have the option to "Add Friend." This means I was friends with the person in 2010 (or whichever year in the past), but not anymore. If you weren't the one who axed them, this is proof the person unfriended you between then and now. Now pardon me while I bawl my god damned eyes out. WHAT DID I EVER DO TO YOU, KIRAN? [BuzzFeed]

On the day Team USA athletes were warned to keep the red, white and blue clothing to a minimum during the Sochi Winter Games, Carl Schaeper, a 40 year old software administrator in Houston and his girlfriend Amber Dunten were planning for their own vacation to the Olympics.
After Schaeper practiced his ability to speak in Russian, Dunten translated.
"That's I don't understand Russian," she said in English.
The couple doesn't speak much of the language, but they're eagerly practicing a few phrases.
Schaeper has never traveled out of the country.
"First time to get my passport," he said.
And he isn't letting any of the security concerns over possible terror attacks at the Sochi games 'curl' his excitement.
Neither is Dunten, especially when it comes to the warning over clothing.
"I hadn't given it a moment's thought," she said. "We were preparing for cold weather."
The couple don't doubt something could happen, but as Schaeper put it, "you sort of have to trust that Russia really wants this to go off without any problems."
The couple's journey to Sochi started during the last winter Olympics. After watching a curling competition on television, they signed up with the Curling Club of Houston.
Dunten has since stopped actively participating, but Schaeper has been curling with the club ever since.
Last fall, he heard about a raffle through the club, bought some tickets and won a trip to the upcoming games. That was before the talk about security concerns.
"I was a little nervous at first," Dunten said. "But then I sat down and thought about it and realized people are terrible at assessing risk. We take risks every day that we don't even think about."

Happy Monday! How did the weekend treat ya?
Good I hope. Seems like our fave celebs had a good time—let's take a look…
La La Anthony hit the 23rd Annual GLAAD Media Awards in a form-fitting coral and cream number. I'm indifferent on the outfit, but hair and makeup look good as usual.
Malika Haqq celebrated her birthday over the weekend in an interesting little Mason by Michelle Mason color block jersey stretch dress. I love the beige paired with the lemon, but the shoes seem too heavy, no? I'd also love to see her with softer brows.
Dag, what happened to Jason Derulo? He and girlfriend Jordin Sparks hit Celebrity Fight Night XIII (and let the jokes write themselves). Jordin looks cute in her leopard print Roberto Cavalli frock, but that random leather on Jason's Juun J. banded blazer looks like he got run over by a truck (which would explain the neck brace). Hmm…
Is it written in Esperanza Spalding's contract not to smile? Sheesh. Even at the signing of her new album it was pic after pic of this glum mug.
*whispers* and truth be told, I thought this was Jaden Smith at first glance.
Christina Milian looked absolutely GORGEOUS from head to toe while having a mommy's night out this weekend. Even with the flash you can tell her makeup is great. I like how a simple outfit gets a little edge with the grommets on her Versace x H&M jacket and Fendi bag. Plus I love her Giuseppe Zanotti sculpted Jem sandals (dang, everyone has a pair, huh?). Hot!
Brandy hit the ATL and posed with TI. I give Brandy her 10′s for this makeup–honey's face is BEAT!!! However, she gets disqualified for the visible lace front glue. Boo!!!
Speaking of ATL, Tiny's daughter Zonnique turned 16 this weekend and had a big extravangza that brought out all 128 colors in the Crayola box. I'm likely just hating because my mom would never let me have blue hair and matching lipstick when I was a teen. But hey, as long as the girls are all well-behaved and bring home all As, let them have at it with the hair color I guess.
And finally, speaking of hair color, little Willow Smith is now rocking a Lemonhead inspired look. Lucky kid, I guess. When I was 11 my mom wouldn't even let me wear my two little cornrows in the front of my hair. And my wardrobe certainly wasn't anywhere near this cool. *sigh* That's Hollywood for ya!
And that also rounds out this weekend's hot or hmm. Any looks make your favorites list?
27 Responses to "Weekend Hot! or Hmm…: La La, Brandy, Christina Milian, Willow Smith, and More!"
i love lala dress DEETS Por Favor!!!
I understand allowing your kids to express themselves but this is getting ridiculous. Will and Jada, really?!?! O_o
holding hands with gf??? willow did i miss something?
@mary or you know….it could be her nanny. smh she's 11!
La la looks fab! I love that dress.
The leather in Jason's jacket looks like it matches the brace. A poor choice.
As for Willow what's the big deal? Why can't kids hold hands with a friend without sick adults throwing their own freaking issues over something so innocent?
I like Lala's dress. Love how it fits her body. Jason Derulo broke his neck because he fell off the stage while rehearsing. I don't like Sparks dress. Brandy can do better and clean off that glue. I like Christina's jacket as well,totally hot
Jason Derulo's jacket is HIDEOUS!!
Love Lala dress…Hot!
I don't know what inspired LaLa to wear her Halloween clutch and Easter dress together, but ok…I won't comment on Jason, he's having a bad enough day. Christina Milian looks great from head to toe! I love everything about it. The OMG girls look cute, I love those orange wedges. Willow looks like Boy George, I can't with the yellow hair.
i love the little OMG girls….they look so cute, fun and well behaved!!! I give my props to Miss Tiny!
Willow is truely her own person and you cant do nothing but accept it!!
Christina's Giuseppe's are to die for and La La stays on point.
Does anyone know who is applying my girl Brandy's wigs because this seems to be happening way too often :-( I think her hairstylist has a bad eye or something…either the wigs are too low or the glue is showing everywhere…..( shruggin my shoulders)
Random: I didn't know Jason and Jordin ever dated. I must be having too much fun under this rock. lol
I love La La's dress. I love her whole look (minus that clutch).
I agree with you Danielle. My parents would have NEVER let me do all these crazy things with my hair when I was younger. Hollywood or not, I find this whole trend ridiculous, they are kids. Be kids. These parents can say no at things like this, sheesh. lol
To this day, I still have not a clue how a lace front is applied to the head, so I don't know about the glue and stuff. Her makeup is usually on point though. lol
Love Lala's dress..Love Christina's shoes…
As for those heel-less shoes…Are there any affordable options other than Zanotti?
I love how Willow always has a huge smile on her face :-)
I love Lala's dress.
I wish Malika would switch up that heavy looking weave for once. She's been wearing that syle since the beginning of time.
I don't see how Will and Jada's awkward looking child is post-worthy…
I actually LOVE Willow's hair like this. The fact that she wears it so short, I think, allows for creativity with regard to the color without it being over the top. Honestly, if my daughter kept her hair short like that, I'd probably be okay with the yellow. Especially if she were a pop singer.
Dang! Lala almost had it all right until someone pointed out that purse to me, smh. What was Lala thinking? Sigh…
And yes, I love T.I., Tiny, and their family. And I think the OMG Girlz are adorable! Their outfits are always cute.
And to @ Utibe A., you see how it's light around Brandy's hairline? That's the lacefront glue, smh. So freaking tacky!!!! My only guess (and hope) is that the camera flash makes it visible…because I really hope she doesn't leave the house looking like that.
And speaking of tacky…Christina Milian always looks it to me. She always has too much going on, and in this outfit, it is the jacket and the purse. The both are embellished, so let one be the star. From the neck up, she is gorgeous, as always.
And I didn't know Jordin and Jason were an item! They make a cute little pop couple. I wonder if a duet (or collabo, as they say nowadays) could be coming soon, lol.
has anyone ever seen malika with a different hairstyle?evvvvverrrrr?
Brandy's lacefront = negative.
If Lala would've worn a diffent clutch she would've looked perfect. @Shelly you're so right about Christinia Millian, her outffit was doing waaay too much … Brandy never gets it rarely gets it right when it comes to her hair.
LOL @laurafashionablyblessed
Come to think of it, I've never seen Malika with any other hairstyle…
Lol Danielle…jaden though? Boy to be a teen today. I say the kids took it for me this weekend. I love Willow style she is a cute little girl who definately marches to her own beat
Lol sooo much to say about this post!
Jordan Sparx and Jason Derulo? This whole time I could have sworn he was gay. lls.
Christina Milian looks adorable I love her look!
Willow Smith? lol How old is she now? Her parents are allowing her to do the most with her hair! Im not really a fan of her looks lately, it's real cool they're completely supportive creatively though.
LaLa Looks amazing love it! Ella siempre estas muy hermosa!!
LMBO @ Danielle. For real brandy, what's up with that?!??!! And not only is her lace front glue visible but her concealer under her eyes is quite visible as well. Christina looks cute! Lala looks the same all the time which is kind of a good thing.
Willow Smith hhmmmmmmm
Love lala's dress!!! Does anyone know who's the designer???
I've always liked that hat willow wears but I cannot find one online just like it. I love that it's small.. Please help!!

Mountaineering Training | The Triangle of Training Success
Posted by: | January 14, 2013
Categories: *Mountaineering Fitness & Training
With the start of the a new year now is a good time to step back and take account of your training plan. Training for any sport requires a balance of different activities. Too much of one type of training can lead to over-stressing our bodies; too many different activities can lead to a dilution of focus.
While a mountaineering training program will include many facets, it is important to never lose sight of the critical elements:
1. Aerobic Endurance Training: Longer sessions to increase the ability to go for a long time at a steady pace. This builds your training base.
2. Anaerobic Endurance: Shorter intense sessions to increase the ability to go for a short time at higher intensity. This gives you the range of exertion to accommodate different paces and exertion levels.
3. Strength Training: The ability of the muscles to support the pack weight, movement over challenging terrain and other tasks such as digging snow or performing an ice-axe arrest.
These are the "meat and potatoes" of preparation for mountaineering. Try to make sure you are exercising all three on a weekly basis.

Labour reveals local flu vaccine chaos - Burnham18 April 2012
The Government's scrapping of the national flu campaign in 2010 led to huge falls in vaccination levels in some areas, Labour reveals today.
The news comes just days after a major report from the former Chief Medical Officer found that the Government's failure to prepare properly for the 2010/11 flu season may have led to preventable deaths.
A detailed breakdown of Department of Health figures shows wide variation in influenza vaccine take-up in the winter of 2010-11, the year after the swine flu pandemic.
In the absence of a national awareness campaign, 107 of England's Primary Care Trusts experienced a fall in the percentage of 'at risk' patients aged under 65 taking up the vaccination compared to the previous winter. But these figures cover wide variation, including a shocking 25% fall in Havering.
The 10 PCTs witnessing the biggest falls between the two flu seasons for 'at risk' patients were:
Andy Burnham MP, Labour's Shadow Health Secretary, said:
"Andrew Lansley's decision to scrap the winter flu campaign just one year after a global flu pandemic was an early illustration of his reckless approach to the running of our health service.
"The Health Secretary ignored the advice of public health experts and these figures reveal the consequences on the ground of his arrogance and inability to listen.
"The Government's failure to run a proper national campaign was a false economy. It created wide variation and put the public at greater risk with fewer vulnerable patients in two thirds of England taking up the flu vaccine.
"This is another appalling example of the sheer incompetence of this Government, taking knee-jerk decisions without fully thinking through the consequences. Sadly, in this case, the price paid by patients and the public was high, with preventable illness and even death.
"The Health Secretary must learn the lessons from this. He must respond to Sir Liam's review, acknowledge his mistakes and put in place proper national arrangements to protect the public in the coming winter flu season."

Since the A's won their last World Series title exactly 20 years ago today, I thought I'd mark the occasion by reposting most of an exchange I had with Mike Pagliarulo, the Yankee third baseman in the late '80s, last year that focused on Rickey's trade in June of '89 from N.Y. to Oakland and was first published on my '89 A's blog.
Q: To start off, I figured I'd ask if you remember the near-perfect game the A's threw against the Yankees on May 26 in New York?
A: No, I don't. What was that?
Q: The one guy to get on was Rickey Henderson, on an infield single, and then the very next hitter, Steve Sax maybe, hit into a double play. That was the only runner of the game.
A: Huh. That's funny, I don't know that game at all. We had an injury, someone-Winfield-was out with a bad back in 1989. That year my elbow was a mess. I tried to play, but it wasn't fully recovered.
Q: What was your response when you learned of Rickey Henderson's trade to the A's?
A: In New York, we had all come up with each other in the Yankees' tremendous minor league system. Played on the same teams, winning teams. And some guys from the organization, they had played with Rickey for 5 years. He was one of the guys, a great teammate, a phenomenal athlete, so it was hard to see people like him go.
Q: I was reading through some articles from the time, where the Yankees management was saying that Rickey's legs were going, he wasn't that great a player anymore. He'd been struggling a bit with the Yankees, but did you guys have any sense of him running down?
A: No, I wouldn't say he was running down. When you play with a good teammate, you never want to see them go, whether they're going well or not. You rely on each other day and day out, so you never expect someone to be traded. You never think in those terms. Rickey was a real impact player, he helped the whole lineup.
Baseball is the ultimate team game, your teammates affect how you play offense and defense, what kind of pitches you get to hit-look at the Red Sox this year (2008, obviously), J.D. Drew batting ahead of Manny Ramirez, and how well he did. There are so many variables, it's hard to say which one it is that impacts whether you do well.
Q: What was your impression of Greg Cadaret and Eric Plunk? Because when I went through those articles about the trade I saw Cadaret saying that at least in New York he'd still be able to talk about hunting and fishing with Plunk in the bullpen. Were they out of place in the Bronx?
A: [laughs] Well, some players don't feel very comfortable in New York. It can be a rude awakening for some players, they're out of place. Some, they adapt, but I was always real comfortable there, didn't have to get used to New York.
Q: What, for you, were the biggest reasons why the A's were so good in '88 and '89?
A: The A's, they had those two big guys (McGwire and Canseco) coming up. I was talking to La Russa one day not long after he got hired by the A's. When was that, 1986 or so? (It was.) And he had a pretty good plan for what to do with the team. They had Ron Hassey, a good friend and teammate with the Yankees.
On the A's, everyone knew their role, what their job was, and that's a compliment to La Russa. He ran a pretty tight ship, everyone had a place they fit into, and there was a really good mix of young and old players. Every good team I've been on has had that characteristic. It's a prerequisite for winning. And they had really good coaches.
Lansford, he was a steady, steady, steady player, a real tough out. Stewart, I don't remember how I did against. But he was like Clemens: the ultimate challenge for a hitter. You want that so much-that challenge, and the great ones, they're great challenges. The A's were very prepared, they always gave their best game.
