While social media has been around since the early days of the internet, it isn't until recently that advertisers and marketers are beginning to realize its widespread influence. People of all ages are now using at least one of these platforms to connect with their peers and companies. In fact, more consumers are shunning traditional advertisements in favor of social media and customer reviews to make informed purchasing decisions. Luckily for companies, the same principles of engaging customers in a marketing funnel still apply in today's digital world: create brand awareness through incremental exposure.
In a way, the dominance of networks like Facebook and Twitter has made it much easier to increase brand awareness quickly and cheaply. However, with so many other businesses competing for consumers' attention and money, it can also be much more difficult to get in front of your target audience and even get them started in your marketing funnel. In order to pique the interests and desires of your market, you must take a more relationship-oriented approach to your social profiles. If you're stuck on how to foster a community and convert them into paying customers, the infographic below will provide you with some useful tips and ideas.
Just a few years ago, social media sites weren't even considered as part of the process of screening job candidates. Today there are very few job-seekers without at least a Facebook profile. No matter what social media sites a job seeker is using, a Google search is all a recruiter needs to find them.
What you tweet may be used against you
Research initiated by Microsoft indicated that nearly 90 percent of United States hiring managers admitted that they reviewed Facebook, Linkedin, Twitter, Pinterest, Instagram, or other social medial about job applicants.
Did you know? 75% report that that their companies have formal policies REQUIRING hiring managers to research applicants online.
84% of the hiring managers used what they found online in deciding to hire or not. In fact, 70% of hiring managers from the study said they rejected candidates specifically based on what they found online about a job candidate.
As a result many job-seekers hide their Facebook pages according to Stephanie Goldberg, a technology reporter for CNN Tech. Her findings indicate that, "many students and recent graduates say they are changing their names on Facebook or tightening privacy settings to hide photos and wall posts from potential employers."
Is it appropriate for an employer to use Social Media in Hiring?
Seeing an applicant's Facebook postings/pictures may unfairly bias a hiring decision. People don't take pictures of people studying or doing school work, they take pictures of people at parties and doing silly things.
Sometimes there are too many Facebook pics to untag or delete. Unsuitable or inappropriate comments and photos from friends, customers, former coworkers do not necessarily demonstrate whether a candidate can do the job. In general it should not matter what someone does when not at work. That is unless the job happens to be in marketing and social media networking. Then you want to see how good they are at social media.
From the Microsoft study mentioned above, 44% of the general population think it is somewhat or very inappropriate, 40% think it's ok or very ok for employers to check social cites. However of young people 18-24, 53% think it's ok or very ok.
Is it legal for an employer to use Social Media Sites in Hiring?
That depends where, when and which.
According to Karen Harned of NFIB, "Check your state law, a number of states have introduced and/or passed legislation that prohibits employers from looking at certain information on potential hires. In addition, some states have proposed legislation to prevent employers from requesting passwords to personal Internet accounts to get or keep a job."
Melanie Berkowitz, Esq., writing for Monster.com says, "Be Careful. Once you review a candidate's online profile, a court will assume you are aware of that person's protected characteristics." By being aware of a person's race or religion for example, a hiring employer opens up the company to potential lawsuits brought about on the basis of that particular protected characteristic.
David Baffa of Seyfarth Shaw, LLP (an employment law firm) advises, "If you decide to use social media in your recruiting process, make sure you conduct the same searches at the same point in the process for every applicant." Additionally Mr. Baffa advises not to review social sites until after meeting a candidate face to face, "you are less likely to be accused of making snap selection decisions or of relying on protected characteristics evident from a social network profile."
The NFIB recommends to avoid sites like Facebook, Instagram and Twitter. Instead use Linkedin and similar professional websites that are commonly used by recruiting/hiring managers. "Those sites are your safest bet."

As a small business owner, it is easy to get so wrapped up in the web of daily operations that you may never notice inefficiencies in the system until it is too late. A study conducted by the Siemens Enterprise Communications group found that inefficient communications alone cost SMBs $5000 per employee every year. Add to this the inefficiencies in manufacturing, distribution, technology, etc. and you can see the costs add up pretty quickly.
As an operations consultant, I work with companies to weed out these inefficiencies. Over time, I have realized that the best way to approach the problem is by identifying the four pillars that contribute to the health of an SMB. By independently tackling the challenges in these four pillars, it is possible to handle growth regardless of how quickly it happens.
Organization Standards: Many times, small businesses dismiss the standards and processes that are followed in larger corporations as a symptom of bureaucracy and red-tape. There is no doubt that a number of large companies do suffer from red tape arising from unnecessary processes. But that does not make the concept of following due processes redundant. According to Aaron Chatham, tech architect and blogger, one of the optimal ways to bring this about is through establishing an organizational structure. By deploying governance toolsand process consultants, your business can ensure that the team structure is agile and ready to handle any scale of business.
Security: Security is often an overlooked aspect of small business management. The underlying assumption is that only large businesses are targeted by hackers and malware distributors. But according to a report published by Kaspersky labs, over 60% of small and medium-sized businesses are victims of malware-based data attacks every year. It is important for small business owners to realize that keeping the security infrastructure of your organization is like buying yourself (delete an) insurance – the investment often seems like wasted expenditure. But when you do need it, you will need it quite badly. By constantly upgrading your security and backing up your data, you can avoid the one inefficiency that can potentially put you out of business.
Growth Management: When a company grows, it is not just the revenues that multiply. The churn, expenses, inefficiencies, red tape – they all multiply too. It is important that the business owner always has a plan in place for the next phase of growth. So how do you do it? The first step is to make every staff and tool in your company replaceable. That is, there should not be an employee in your company that is the sole authority on any particular process. This way, when any employee leaves the company, you can be rest assured that your business will move along fine without any hitch. Also, when your company grows, you can always ensure that you have people to multi-task and take care of the main points without delays due to recruiting additional staff.
Life-Cycle Management: The fourth and final pillar of a healthy SMB is proper management of your product life-cycle. As your business grows, there is an inevitable rise in the number of SKUs handled, the time to market and wastage. Through an optimized product life-cycle management process, you can efficiently handle the wastage and optimize the time to market. While the processes to optimize life-cycle management can be learned, it is always advisable to hire a PLM consultant to help you with establishing a process.

Over the past few months, technology companies around the world have been tackling one of the largest security threats. According to cyber security columnist Joseph Steinberg, today [security threats] are the "worst" since "commercial traffic began to flow on the Internet."
One big threat to SMBs is called "Heartbleed". this is a serious vulnerability on OpenSSL, which is one of the widely used security protocols. SMBs have to deal with confidential customer data. Many SMBs have opted for OpenSSL because it is inexpensive to implement and manage.
Here are three things that SMBs should consider in order to minimize tech security threats from smartphones.
1. Migrate To The Cloud :There are a number of software tools that SMBs use that are vulnerable because of the deployment of outdated technologies. Migrating to high quality cloud-based services could help. Cloud-based applications are continually maintained for quality and security purposes. For Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP), you can choose Epicor,a NetSuite partneror many others. These consulting companies handle the implementation and managing of cloud ERP in your business as a managed service.
2. Have a BYOD Policy : The use of smartphones has become predominant. Today, most employees make use of their smartphones to do work-related things such as checking emails, transferring documents and making work related calls. This is a vulnerability because third party devices could be the source of malware attacks.
Bring-Your-Own-Device (BYOD) is here to stay. One really cannot prevent the use of employee's personal devices at work. The optimal solution is to have an elaborate BYOD policy that permits smartphones and personal laptops only after they have been reviewed and authorized by your network security person or department.
3. Hire A Consultant : Hiring a consultant will provide you with a go-to person who will advise you on all things relating to IT security such as upgrading software or changing your communication systems. A security consultant will help you with the process better than just doing it yourself.

Del Mar school district slated to choose new hot lunch provider this month
By Karen Billing
Staff Writer
The Del Mar Union School District will wait on awarding a contract to a new hot lunch provider until May. Three viable bids remain in the process: Come on In! Café, Revolution Foods and Ki's.
"I've run into a lot of difficulties in our process, not because we didn't have great advice from our lunch committee, but as we started reviewing the bids, it was apparent that a lot of things had been left out of the request for proposal (RFP) that needed to be addressed," said district superintendent Jim Peabody.
Peabody said a lot of the issues were based on the schools' lack of infrastructure for hot lunch programs and the fact that two of the vendors propose serving food buffet style—the superintendent was not sure about the health permits required for that kind of service in schools.
Peabody recommended that staff works on the issues with the RFP with the vendors, the parent volunteer-composed lunch committee and a consultant hired by the district, Helen Kerrian, a retired food services manager and former president of the California Association of School Business Officials. He expects the board to award a bid at its May meeting.
When the first RFP went out, the district received 10 respondents. When the RFP was modified to include the amendments suggested by the lunch committee, the respondents went down to three. Amendments included items such as food being prepared fresh daily, no preservatives, hormone and nitrate-free meats and organic fruits.
Cathy Birks, assistant superintendent of business services, said the more restrictive and defined language in the addendum eliminated vendors that were able to bid on it.
Yana Mohanty, a representative from the parent committee, said that it may have been true for some applicants but not all as some were only casually interested or knew their bids would be too expensive for the district.
"Having three bidders in the RFP process is neither unexpected nor a cause for concern," Mohanty said in a letter sent to the superintendent and board.
Board trustee Doug Rafner said he was concerned that the restrictive language spelled "doomsday" for an open bid process. He said that instead of "required" or "must contain," they could modify the language to say foods should "try to include."
"The bid process is to gather the most information and then look at who is offering what we want," said Rafner. "We should allow the full gamut of bids to gather information that's helpful for us to make an informed decision. Otherwise we're turning our heads to the whole process and only looking at those that offer, say, whole wheat pasta."
Trustee Doug Perkins disagreed that the language was limiting and that the process was exclusionary, citing First Lady Michelle Obama's "Let's Move" initiative to raise a healthier generation of kids.
"In my view it's getting us ahead of the game," Perkins said. "It's getting our programs up to where the nation's heading."

Heaven Changes Everything: Living Every Day with Eternity in Mindby Todd Burpo
Synopses & Reviews
Publisher Comments:
Live every day with the hope of heaven
A shattered leg, kidney stones, and a lump diagnosed as hyperplasia. Times were tough, money was scarce, and the bills and frustrations were piling up. It was into this kind of stressed out life that God sent Todd and Sonja Burpo the interruption of a life-threatening illness and emergency surgery for their almost four-year old son Colton. An interruption that included his unforgettable journey to heaven.
How did they cope? And how can they help us keep thoughts of eternity in mind in the midst of our own overly busy, stressed out lives?
In fifty unique inspirational readings based on excerpts from their story, Todd and Sonja share their family's responses and reactions to the Heaven Is for Real experience. They answer questions about what it's like to struggle with and question God, to doubt, even get angry with Him. And offer new insights into what God might be doing with those interruptions he allows into our lives. Each reading closes with a scripture to provide biblical reinforcement of the ideas shared and a take-away thought or action point to help readers incorporate the reading's inspiration into daily life.
Keep the hope of heaven alive in your life. Heaven truly is for real, and it changes everything

Kayifun 3.1 Clone from Vapor World
The Kayfun 3.1 is easily one of the most popular rebuildable tank atomizers currently available on the market. The Kayifun was Designed in Russia and manufactured in Germany from solid stainless steel, the Kayfun 3.1 offers an array of beneficial features that help to maximize the vaping experience. This incredible atty has integrated adjustable airflow allowing for customization of the draw to suit your personal preferences, something that is uncommon with rebuildables. Keeping rebuilders in mind, the Kayfun 3.1 has been designed to facilitate the setup process with its easily accessible atomizer deck.
Setting the construction of the Kayfun 3.1 aside, it has superb performance. The reduced atomizing chamber helps to enhance the flavor of your favorite e-liquids. It has a juice capacity of 4.5 mL which will allow you to vape away for hours without needing a refill. The vacuum seal helps to prevent leaking and if flooding happens to occur the Kayfun has an overflow reservoir to collect any excess juice.
The Kayfun is a rebuildable atomizer designed to enhance the flavor of your juice. The Kayifum uses a chamber to house your wick and coil, which concentrates the vapor and produces a bold flavor. The Kayfun 3.1 features airflow control and a collection chamber to eliminate leaking into the 510 connection of your device. The Kayfun is made of stainless steel with an optional clear polypropylene window so you can see how much juice is remaining. Almost every aspect of this tank is adjustable, so you can achieve your perfect vaping experience. The Kayfun 3.1 comes with everything you need for your first build, along with replacement parts.
Airflow control, airhole, and fill hole on side
Clear window option
Screw on and universal drip tip options
Juice collector base
Additional Options-
Full clear tank
Bender - Angles drip tip
Provari collar
Extension tube for longer tank
Replacement isolators
Replacement clear window
Tips & Tricks-
When building, make sure your wick clears your air hole by at least 2mm. If your wick is laying against your airhole, it will cause your atomizer to leak. Also, minimize wick used. If too much wick is used, and it isn't all sitting in the channels, it may also cause it to leak.
When filling, only fill from the top. Whenever you unscrew the top, you want to make sure you cover the airhole. If you do not cover the airhole, it will release the pressure held in the tank, and could spill all of your juice. When holding your airhole and the top of your tank is off, fill down the side and continue filling until the juice is just over the threads on your atomizer, leaving a little gap to prevent pressure build-up. You then thread the top cap on slightly, then flip upside down, hold for a few seconds, and finish threading the top cap on.
You will want to clean your condenser cup every week or so. It collects heated juice and mutes the taste after a while. This is the piece that screws on directly above your wick and coil.
Don't dry burn your atomizer for too long. If you do, it could cause your isolator to melt, which isn't fixable. To fix it, you will need to replace the entire isolator.
Juice can collect in your collector base. To get it out, turn your device upside-down and fire it while blowing through your airhole.

Easy to build, doesn't leak. i moved up to this from an aspire nautilus....the flavor from the Kayfun is so much better, i highly recommend. I'll be buying another one with a polished finish, to match my mods.
Posted by DetraMental on 14th May 2014
I absolutely love this RBA! It is so easy to build. I was a little apprehensive at all the parts it breaks down in to but once I put it together twice I felt a bit better about it. It vapes like a champ and there are no leaks!!
Posted by Sid on 14th May 2014
great atomizer, works great with coil build at .9 iam very happy with this product
Posted by Unknown on 2nd May 2014
great atomizer ,great price, on my 2nd coil build ,one horizonal ,one vertical both vaped great , removed the allen air ajustment screw and put it away because I got better air flow without it ,not as airy as my drippers but good clouds and flavor , only wish th juice filling was a litte easyer, but a little pratice and that will get better, best atomizer in my herd
Posted by Andrew on 8th Mar 2014
As long as you don't want to use the plastic tank on it as it is garbage, I have had two and both broke at the threads in less than a week using 50%VG/ 50%PG. Other than the plastic tank it is a great tank.
Posted by Mark Ski. on 18th Feb 2014
This is an awesome Kayfun 3.1 replica! But lets do away with the rubber seals, and go with something better or add extra seals. I had to replace all the seals on the third day. Hciger we expect better from you.
Posted by Unknown on 29th Dec 2013
I ordered this as I wanted the hcigar clone of the kayfun. Price was right. The tank is amazing. Fit and finish are top. I have messed with a real russian and aside from the markings there is literally no difference. This one even has the better adjustable 510 connection that the russian has over the kayfun, where the pin doesnt thread directly into the block. Nice tank will buy more.
Posted by ashad on 28th Dec 2013
So the product comes in a nifty little carry case and you will find all the little pieces shown in the pictures. I have been using it for about 8 days now and am very impressed with the quality of the product and the vape. The flavor really does intensify in this RBA. Now, the threading is a bit crunchy and you must wash it thoroughly upon receiving it as stated in other reviews. Once the cleaning part is done, its super easy to set-up a coil and the crunchy threads are almost smooth in mine. I do not sub-ohm, so cannot tell you about quality of sub-ohm vape. The vendor is great and item was shipped the day after I ordered. Overall, this is probably one of the best clones of Kayfun 3.1 out there.
Posted by VapingDragon X on 27th Dec 2013
This is the best "clone" I have found out there, if you own a Russian RBA and will like to have another one at a great price then this is for you, it is an exact replica down to the look and feel. My only advice is to clean it well before you use it as mine came with some residual metal scrap all over, but once cleaned and prime you wont be able to tell the difference. I'm ordering 2 more!
Posted by Dj on 21st Dec 2013
This is an awesome Kayfun 3.1 replica! Great flavor and vapor production. Just really awesome! Reasonable price and fast priority shipping!

Let me just tell you, Britney's show in Boston was nothing less than spectacular! I know, Brit always puts on a show, but she exceeded my expectations. It was unbelievable.
DJ Pauly D was the first opening act and he was alright. If he wasn't on Jersey Shore he would not be good enough to be on this tour… just sayin. I had fun fist pumping though!
Nicki was INSANE. I was going hard to her lyrics singing/rapping along and I think the people in front of me thought I was insane. It's cool. She looked so good, especially when she changed wigs and came out at the end during TTWE. I fucking love this woman.
Now, the living legend. When I got to the arena and saw how close my seats were I was almost in tears. I've seen Britney live twice before but I was always in the far back balcony. These seats were so close within steps I could be joining her on stage.
Each and every performance was spectacular and I loved the video interludes, the were super fun and creepy. I assume they chose the lucky fan who goes on stage before the show, for her special lapdance, but that didn't stop me from running towards the stage screaming, trying to get them to chose me. I wasn't pulled up on stage, sadly, but I'll live.
All in all this show was so unbelievable. The fact that I was in the presence of a living legend made me want to just die right there. I don't know if I will ever experience anything as wonderful as I did tonight.
Thank you Britney.

The 39-year-old mother of three boys has worked for several years as a gastrointestinal nurse for a mobile anesthesia company in the northwest suburbs. She often worked with patients who underwent colonoscopies that detected cancer, but Sasha usually left her work at the office when arriving home to her family.
That changed, however, in late 2012 after Sasha started experiencing irregular bowel movements. While she felt great, Sasha's colleagues urged her to get a colonoscopy to ease her mind.
Sasha visited her physician who performed a colonoscopy in which Sasha was sedated. The physician then examined the inside of the colon with a thin, flexible lighted tube with a tiny video camera on the end that sends pictures of the colon to a TV screen. After the colonoscopy was completed, Sasha's physician delivered some life-changing news.
"I was diagnosed with a very large polyp in the rectum," Sasha recalls.
Sasha's doctor determined the mass was too large for him to remove and recommended Sasha make an appointment with Dr. Willis Parsons, medical director of the Gastroenterology Center at Northwest Community Hospital.
Dr. Parsons performed a colonoscopy and found a large, flat rectal polyp, which was removed endoscopically. The pathology revealed early stage rectal cancer. Because the cancer had been removed endoscopically, other more invasive treatments, such as surgery, chemotherapy, and radiation therapy were not necessary.
"It is very satisfying to find a cancer at an early stage, especially on a young patient, and to be able to remove it endoscopically and prevent the need for major surgery," Dr. Parsons says. "The treatment was successful and her prognosis is excellent."
Sasha is on the road to recovery and knows she was lucky to have a colonoscopy when she did. "I am grateful that the cancer was caught in the nick of time and I didn't need chemotherapy or radiation," Sasha says. "If I would have pushed this back a few months, it could have been a different story. I feel blessed and have a whole different outlook."
Sasha credits her decision to have a colonoscopy behind the happy ending to her story. She will continue with surveillance colonoscopies fairly frequently for the next two years.
"Because of my experience as a GI nurse, I have always been an advocate for screening colonoscopies," Sasha says. "It doesn't matter how old you are; cancer doesn't discriminate. I was diagnosed at age 38."
Many of Sasha's patients often hesitated in scheduling colonoscopies because of the preparations needed the night before the procedure. But the preparations are less complicated than in the past. Patients need to follow a special diet and take a specific laxative to clean out the colon.
"The preparations are a lot easier now," Sasha says. "When you come in for the colonoscopy, you have gone through 95 percent of the battle. In the grand scheme of things, a colonoscopy is such a life saver."
Dr. Willis Parsons is a board-certified gastroenterologist on staff at NCH who performs this type of procedure. For a list of gastroenterologists on staff at NCH, click here, or call HealthConnection at 847.618.4YOU (4968).

We offer two ways to locate information:
Red wines that are more fruit-forward and lighter in tannin and body.
Medium bodied reds that go down easy, with smooth tannins and supple fruit.
Wines where earthy and/or spicy dominate the flavors – typically medium to full body.
Full bodied wines that have concentrated fruit and are higher in alcohol and/or tannins. Some need age.
A big, ripe fruit spicy McLaren Vale Shiraz. Ripe, dark cherry on nose, with a hint of chocolate and mocha. Palate full, rich, with just a hint of oak. Lovely soft ripe tannin complements the fruit driven finish. A soft, but weighty traditional McLaren Vale Shiraz.
"Only one barrel was made of the purple/black 2004 The Ox. Sourced from a miniscule yield of 0.5 tons of fruit per acre, this brooding behemoth offers a superb bouquet of mineral/earth notes, pepper, blueberry, and blackberry liqueur. Loaded on the palate, it is intensely flavored, has great depth and grip, and a 60-second finish. Remarkably, it can be enjoyed now but will still be providing pleasure 15-20 years from now."

The Wine Advocate
"Inky ruby. Deep, smoky red and dark berries on the nose and palate, with an exotic undertone of Asian spices. Lithe and precise, becoming sweeter and sappier on the back end and packing serious punch. This silky, long, palate-coating shiraz betrays no tannins or rough edges on the broad, very long finish.

"Rich, ripe and generous, spicy with pepper and licorice overtones to the dark berry and dried cherry flavors. Finishes with flair. Drink now through 2016."

PRAGUE (AP) - Was he or wasn't he? The video footage shows the new Czech president clearly worse for wear, propping himself up against a wall at a public event, struggling to negotiate a step and being aided by a cardinal.
Milos Zeman makes no secret of his drinking. But on this occasion - a rare and highly-ceremonial public display of the Czech crown jewels last week - his office insisted he simply had a virus and subsequently needed a day or two of rest.

3 Settings Gary used to earn $1500 USD with Option Bot
How does the binary options market work?
The foreign exchange market, or Forex market, is surely an around-the-clock cash market in which the currencies of nations are purchased and sold. Option Bot 2.0 Review can be found on my site so make sure you read it! Forex trading is definitely done in currency pairs. For example, you acquire Euros, paying with U.S. Dollars, or maybe you sell Canadian Dollars for Japanese Yen. The value of your Forex investment increases or decreases due to changes in the fx rate or Forex rate. These changes may occur at any time, and frequently result from economic and political events. Using a hypothetical Forex investment, this post shows you how to calculate profit and reduction in Forex trading.
Sending money from Point A to Point B in just a country is comparatively easy and the price of this currency transfer is set only through the fees with the service provider you might have selected. My Option Bot 2.0 Review can answer a lot of questions! Transferring money abroad is one area different: it relates to not only the fees and charges but also the fx rate between two particular currencies referred to as a currency pair. In the Forex market, the need for a currency is set in terms of another, thereby forming your money. The initial currency is known as base currency, whereas the currency this agreement it is compared is named quote currency. Basically, which means that you need a certain quantity of currency X to buy one unit of currency Y.
It is one of many favorite pairs, since of the doable significant jumps and lucrative pips. Keep in brain that, each and every time the profit opportunity is greater, the chance is bigger too. This pair is assigned to somewhat volatile group. In spite of the risky warning, traders love this particular couple, simply because there may be lots of market investigation and analysis accessible, which protects from generating stupid trading mistakes!
Any application just like the real time exchange rate even enables the trader to build up one's own viewpoint around the forex market within the direction of motion of the 2 currency pair. Want to learn more? Look at my Option Bot 2.0 Review. Learning the historic motions on the currency pair against an added can assist a dealer to devise his personal idea about how this currency pair moves against the other. In time, the investor or trader will help identify factors precursors to the event that will help the trader for making the investment decisions in anticipation in the event so as to comprehend an income.
Now if you adopt a look at Currency Brokers compared to stock brokers, you can see that there are lots of benefits. Option Bot 2.0 Review was written by me for the people. Investing in company stock might be more of a long lasting investment which will expect you to out of the money away for any period of at the very least three to five years. The great thing about buying currency by using a Currency Broker is basically that you have the option of investing make the most both short and extended pairs. The great thing using the Currency market is that you simply can expect you'll make a decent profit in a couple of days of trading. My Option Bot 2.0 Review can help you in many ways! This therefore accumulates towards your overall profit which therefore plays an essential part in your long-term investments.

Your eyes and lips tell me it's going to be ok
They draw me in, I don't stand a chance
My stomach turns in fear
How are you today my dear?
I long for your attention, your company & more.
But I'm scared, I can't let myself fall, deeply deeply in love with you
You are amazing. Sweet. Perfect
I have to turn my back on you,
I'm busy, I can't, maybe another time
When all I want is to be in your arms.
Just one kiss and I have to leave.
My hearts afraid it may be hurt once again,
I just can't let you in.
I can't take that risk, take a chance
Life's to short they say,
Don't waste another day.
Move on from yesterday

Galactic Aliens, Official Handbook, Alan Frank
Sackett Publicare Ltd, 1979
94 pp, full color illustrations throughout
This book holds a great nostalgia for me. I purchased it *new* with some birthday money from a long-shuttered Walden Books local in my local shopping mall. Apart from pride of (sort of) self-financed ownership, end-to-end full color illustrations, great vintage sci-fi graphics and compelling, pseudo-scientific text make this title a keeper. detailed schematics on size, taxonomy, and innate abilities add an engrossing level of authority to this catalog.
A bewildering range of 43(!) different alien species are surveyed with handsomely printed full color illustrations. My only critique is that each illustration doesn't have the artist individually attributed. Still, a fine title and many artists' styles will be familiar to readers of this era.
The Snakes are a peculiar avian-reptilian life form. This looks like an Angus McKie work with its explosion rendering.
The porcupine rapidly transforms from it's sponge-like form into a towering of self-propelled toxin thorns. The four-armed space-farer trying to escape adds strong drama and motion to this scene.
In my younger self, I didn't quite understand The Microbe was the enlarged, single-celled life form on the left; the melting humanoids disturbed me too much to spend much time on this page.
The Interstellar Vampire doesn't appear nearly as menacing as their ominous triangular ship formations. The distinct, organic graphics on the ships hulls are consistent with Tony Roberts works.
The Bird of the Stars plows the cosmos with a vile case of halitosis. Note the eyes attached to the multiple stalks on its underside.
There is no escape from The Living Sun!
These guys look familiar and are ranked as one of the more primitive, war-like species in the known galaxy. Aviation enthusiasts will recognize the ill-fated North American XB-70 Valkyrie roaring overhead.
The Dxenion Mercenaries draw some inspiration from Japanese mecha, especially with unsettling single eye feature within their rounded heads.
The Werewolf is equally hideous in both its forms. Periodic bursts of solar radiation morph the sluggish tree-huggers into bloodthirsty carnivores.
The Angel combines elements of soft porn and 1970s airbrush art to create an enigmatic life form among its advanced steel and glass architecture. With their animal print unitards, these guys don't seem too threatening, although those are probably famous last words by many unwary visitors.
My favorite part of the book, and the feature that convinced this was the 'real deal" were the "alien encounter report" filing cards affixed to the back of the book. There's an London UK mailing address. To this day, I wonder if they ever received any…

Mann, who attends the preparatory academy Tilton School in Tilton, New Hampshire, is a shooting guard who stands 6′ 5″ tall and is currently listed at 180 lbs. He brings nice diversity to the squad, as he's listed as both a shooting guard and a small forward.
Mann also has offers from Arizona State, Boston College, Georgetown, Marquette, Maryland, Rhode Island, and Virginia Tech, and was considered a BC lean. This is a very nice way to begin the 2015 class for the 'Noles– the commitment puts FSU's one-man recruiting class at 36th nationally, and sixth-best in the extremely competitive Atlantic Coast Conference. Per the 247 Sports rankings, the Seminoles currently trail ACC foes Syracuse (No. 2), Louisville (No. 4), Duke (No. 6), Notre Dame (No. 22), and Pittsburgh (No. 34).

Conjunctival epithelium thickened in one to two weeks postinjury, but the corneal epithelial layer remained very thin, often with "skip" areas referred to as defects. When such defects were long-lasting, necrotic ulcers, with or without bacterial infection, often supervened. Depending on the severity of the original injury, a scarring, or "hazing," of the corneal stroma was noted.
Lewisite injuries cause necrosis of the deep corneal layers with loss of nuclei of all keratocytes and loss of normal staining characteristics in collagen fibers (Adler et al., 1947). Neutrophils invade the stroma at 24 hours but are replaced by round, chronic inflammatory cells at the end of 10 days. Corneal vascularization is not visible until 5 days after the injury, becoming intense at 14 days. Topical British Anti-Lewisite treatment diminished the severity of these injuries only if given within two to five minutes of injury (Hughes, 1946).
Long-term studies of the effect of sulfur mustard were conducted by Mann and Pullinger (1944). Over a period of 18 months they intermittently examined 138 rabbits injured by sulfur mustard (Figure 8-2). Based on the lifetime of a rabbit as one-tenth that of man, an observation period of 18 months would be sufficient time to develop delayed keratitis in this experimental animal. The results showed that, similar to the human condition, migration of fatty or cholesterin deposits to the surface of the eye could occur after 7 to 8 months and cause recurrent secondary ulceration. In these models of severe burns, it can be concluded that delayed and recurrent keratitis is demonstrable and reproducible.
Comparison of sulfur mustard injuries to those sustained with Lewisite is summarized in Table 8-3. A summary of the toxicology of Lewisite liquid and vapor is separately tabulated in Table 8-2. Many of the rabbits in the Lewisite study were watched for more than one year; no secondary lipoid degeneration or cholesterin deposition was noted, nor any long-term effect, in particular (Mann et al., 1946).
A large number of injuries occurred in the production of sulfur mustard. A summary of the toxic accidents in all three mustard gas production factories in England showed that 10.4 percent of 939 eye

It takes more than a high salary, having a foosball table in the company lunchroom or any other perks or benefits to retain quality staff. There is an ever growing interest in understanding the connections between culture and performance. What we see in our research are companies that really take culture seriously.
Great Place to Work® is excited to announce the launch of its inaugural World's Best Multinational Workplaces list. The list, which will be revealed on October 27, 2011, will name the Top 25 companies to work for in the world.
Today, we are we celebrating the 15th anniversary of the first publication of any Great Place to Work® list – in Brazil. In the process, we are also commemorating what has turned out to be the beginning a very significant global movement that is changing the quality of work for millions of employees throughout the world.
The other day, on my morning commute, I was contemplating the things that make me happy when it occurred to me that the best things in life are, to put it simply, the things that speak uniquely to me. In our daily lives this can be found in the simplest of gestures like when the barista remembers my name and my favorite coffee drink – I feel special; I'm not just a number.
As the economy continues to slowly rebuild, I've been struck by the culture rebound several companies seem to be experiencing. During the recession, many business leaders chose to neglect or cut back on their culture in order to focus on other efforts. In a few companies, executives choose to continue to invest in their culture and they're starting to see the pay off.
When people ask me about the best workplaces and what makes them tick, the answers people gravitate most towards are the innovative perks and programs they use. However, what gets less notice and is possibly more critical are the leadership qualities that makes these programs successful: courage and vulnerability.
I'm reading Delivering Happiness by Tony Hsieh this week, a book about the happiness movement that began with Tony Hsieh and Zappos.com's culture. The content is brilliant… readable and authentic while informative and thought provoking. And, the ultimate message for leaders couldn't be more relevant: culture matters. Tony says that the brand success of Zappos is a lagging indicator of its culture,
It has been fascinating to watch the showdown about Wisconsin's public-employee unions. In our line of work, clients often ask whether a workplace can become great if it has a union. They often assume it's just not possible, yet there's ample evidence it can be done.
I can't tell you how many times I've been asked this question or similar ones such as, "Where do I even begin and what's the return on my investment?" My answer is simple. It's not rocket science. Desirable relationships in the workplace (those built on trust) aren't so different than those we desire in our personal lives (also those built on trust).
One of the most important factors in your successfully creating a great workplace is the degree of support you receive along the way. Creating a great workplace doesn't happen overnight, and your efforts are often met with as many missteps as there are successes. Without someone to be a sounding board, an encourager, and a reframer your job is made much more difficult.

#76 Wine Spectator Top 100 of 2009
The domaine has been in the family for six generations and is planted to the traditional varietals of Cahors – Malbec (locally known as 'Cot'), which provides deep color, structure and tannin and Merlot, which softens the young wine and improves the bouquet. The wine is aged in large oak foudres before being bottled unfiltered. Although it can be enjoyed young, it ages very well.
Incredibly bright color, like the skin of a ripe black cherry, the aroma captivates. There is a suspicion of new oak, a jumble of black fruits (cherry, cassis, blackberry), plus a little corner of blueberry, plus a subtle smoky nuance, and a fleeting suggestion of black truffle. And the perfume is only the opening salvo. The palate is rich, loaded with delicious fruit. It is round, and tannic with superb balance and structure.
"Big, rich and darkly colored—these are the descriptors for the best red wines from the Cahors district of southwest France. The leading grape is Malbec (that's right, there was Malbec before Argentina) and now a small group of quality-oriented producers is pursuing a higher profile for Malbec in its homeland. Tannat and Merlot can also used in these blends. Besides an array of dark fruit flavors, the following wines from Cahors offer plenty of muscle and dense structures. They beg to be drunk with a juicy rib-eye or a roasted leg of lamb. There's a good sense of elegance to the well-defined, concentrated flavors of dark cherry, blackberry and plum, followed by notes of sage, dark chocolate and tobacco leaf on the long, powerful finish. Drink now.

As the 2014 NBA draft inches near, there is still plenty of speculation on what the Philadelphia 76ers will do with the third overall pick. Now if we filter through all the smokescreens and allow Sam Hinkie to draft in the order that he's supposed to, then we can really assess what the 76ers will do. At the very least it narrows down the options. In a draft that is said to have a surplus of talent, it should still be treated as if every possible pick could impact the future of your franchise. That means tempering expectations, and picking based on everything that you know at this point in time. In the case of the 76ers, that also means avoiding the temptation of Joel Embiid.
Embiid is a young player that may very well be the next dominant big man in the NBA someday. Unfortunately the red flags that surrounded his injured back these past couple of months has only increased with his latest injury. After undergoing surgery to repair a stress fracture in his foot last week, Embiid is expected to be out of action for the next four to six months. Yes while it is the off-season, for a ream in the middle of a rebuild the last thing the Sixers need is another big man recovering from an injury. In the case of Nerlens Noel it's expected that he has fully recovered after sitting out for an entire year. Embiid however is dealing with his second injury, and with this one coming during an off-season period, all teams should take heed.
Now considering the advances in sports medicine, Embiid may very well recover and be just as dominant as many believe him to be. The issue here is that there is no guarantee of that, and he's still a rookie. His developmental process has yet to begin at the pro level, and there is also the fact that he hasn't been playing basketball that long. His athleticism and skillset were some of the things that stood out about him, but as a player with limited playing history in his background, baby steps were always going to be taken. The Sixers have enough players that they need to monitor and develop that don't include an unproven Center that isn't at full health. With Noel set to debut in the upcoming Summer League, all eyes will be on his status and conditioning.
With Andrew Wiggins, Jabari Parker, Dante Exum raising their stock with the Embiid injury, Hinkie would be doing the organization a disservice by considering Embiid. The stash him and wait scenario is possible, but unnecessary. Not when you have two picks in the top 10.
If Embiid does make it pas the 76ers, then a realistic option would be for the 76ers to use the 10th pick on him. There is no need for teams like Boston and Los Angeles to draft him since their looking for players that can help them win from day one. Sacramento has glaring needs in their back-court, and with Noah Vonleh, Aaron Gordon, and Marcus Smart on the board, Embiid shouldn't even be considered in the top five. With the 10th pick the Sixers are able to take a chance, but if not Denver and Orlando could also use him.
I don't see Embiid slipping past Orlando. The Magic made good with Nikola Vucevic, but they are in a rebuilding phase themselves and could be stockpiling assets. The Denver Nuggets were without Javale McGee almost all of last year, and Embiid would provide depth.
It will be very interesting to see just how far Joel Embiid slips down the boar. Other factors may come into play where teams trade up to draft him, but I can't find a logical scenario where he doesn't get drafted between the 10th-12th picks.

I stroll the supermarket
evenings, friday, usually
sometimes, I see carrots.
Today I did not see carrots.
Yellow-orange starch sticks that sprouted from the ground.
They were not present.
And it bothered me so.
For my stew required carrots.
And my stew, so meticulously planned, was my sole reducer of hunger.
Now, without carrots, those precious carrots
I would starve.
I rationalized:
perhaps there was an earthquake and all my beautiful carrots fell into some abyssal crack in the earth's titanic crust, melting in the ferocious lava that awaited them
perhaps an alien race, with empty souls and emptier stomachs, decided to abduct all my glorious carrots to conduct some foreign extraterrestrial study
perhaps it was the 1%
perhaps a fire — the wildest of fires! — spread across the land; all the bountiful carrots of the many fields perished
perhaps perhaps perhaps the carrots were tainted by the magic of a wayward witch, grew legs, and migrated to shore!
The final option seemed the most sensible and I tried to recall whether or not I had purchased a swimsuit.
Then it hit me!
I looked around me and noticed
I had been in Best Buy all along.

Fire season ends (10/14/14)
Fire season has ended. We will open our gates that are normally opened for hunting season as we are able to over the next week. Thanks for your understanding about high fire danger and our plan to minimize wildfire risk to our family owned forests.
Gate Opening Information (9/30/14)
Our gates will remain closed until ODF ends fire season and regulated use.
Obtaining a permit
Mailing a permit to you this week (9/29/14) won't work.
Board of Forestry
Gary Springer of Starker Forests is reappointed to the Oregon Board of Forestry
Starker Forests Recreation Update
Our forestlands are open to the public, with a free permit, for walk-in, horseback ride-in and bike-in use. Unless we receive significant* rain before October 4th, our gates will remain closed when the rifle deer season begins.
Coming up: Tree Planting Day 2015!
Tree Planting Day is January 31th. Call our office to sign up!
Fire Danger Remains High (9/3/14)
We notice cool nights and a different smell to the morning air. BUT WAIT! Fire danger remains high!
Thinning forests can cut fire risk, boost diversity: Guest opinion (8/9/14)
All life requires moisture, energy, air and nutrients. On any given area, those are finite and the life that can be supported (its carrying capacity) is also finite.
Industrial Fire Precaustion Level 2 (7/30/14)
The moisture we received last week was a welcome change. Unfortunately the effects from that were short lived. The current forecast is for hot and dry conditions to persist throughout the week (and likely into next week as well). With that in mind, we are moving into an Industrial Fire Precaution Level (IFPL) 2 in WO-1 on Wednesday, July 30, 2014.
Preparation can protect homes from wildfire risk
Benton County and wildfire safety experts from the National Fire Protection Association's Firewise Communities Program are encouraging residents to prepare their homes for the impending wildfire season.

- Publisher: Konami
- Release Date: Oct 26, 2011
- Also On: PlayStation 3
Backbone Entertainment has created a stunning against-all-odds blaster, where four new heroes must attempt to survive a zombie uprising. The quartet is stranded on a remote island which is under siege from an army of the dead. Using whatever weapons come to hand, the player must scour the island looking for survivors and eliminating the flesh-eaters in order to create safe zones.
The action is viewed from an elevated position, with the player central to the action. As the undead attack from all directions, the player uses both control sticks to turn and shoot in all directions, with extra items discarded by fortunate survivors instantly added to an inventory. Zombie Apocalypse: Never Die Alone also introduces a new squad-based mechanism, which allows players to work together. A new class-based system allows users to switch weapons between each other, and also distribute powers and energy to those that need it.… Expand

Nov 28, 2011Zombie Apocalypse: Never Die Alone combines simple Gameplay with an homage to Pure Pwnage and it has zombies in it. What more could you want? Fans of either humorous takes on the undead or the Pure Pwnage show will enjoy this one.
Oct 25, 2011Developer Backbone nails something few games do -- its co-op actually requires cooperation, even if you're cycling through the four likable characters in single-player.
Nov 17, 2011Backbone did a good job by implementing gameplay that is obviously meant for four player co-operation. Never Die Alone is quite challenging, requiring a bit of tactical thinking. The last levels will bore you however, because the game is rather monotonous.
Dec 8, 2011If you've got the original, you don't really need to bother. [Issue#79, p.101]
Nov 21, 2011A more dynamic and engaging game than the first zombie killer, Never Die Alone upgrades the cooperative aspect and makes sure you enjoy it's disappointingly short duration.

On July 18th, transgender woman Erin Vaught made a trip to the emergency room at Ball Memorial Hospital. She was coughing up blood and expected treatment for a lung condition.
Instead, she was ridiculed by hostpital staff, called names including "he-she" and "transvestite," and denied treatment.
Ball Memorial Hospital president Michael Haley responded to the incident, stating that the hospital is "committed to providing care with respect, dignity and courtesy."
But where was this respect, dignity, and courtesy when Vaught visited the hospital?
The hospital treated Vaught disrespectfully and inappropriately.
Please email Ball Memorial Hospital to demand that they stop discriminating against LGBT patients. The hospital should properly train its staff to prevent future discriminatory treatment of transgender patients.
Neil Gifford, Media Relations
Will Henderson, Director of Public Relations and Marketing
A Ball Memorial Hospital policy...
A Ball Memorial Hospital policy states that all patients be provided care with "respect, dignity and courtesy," yet Vaught was completely disrespected by hospital staff.
I demand that Ball Memorial Hospital improve their treatment of LGBT patients. Hospital staff should be required to complete a diversity training with emphasis on LGBT sensitivity. This training would help hospital staff gain an understanding of transgender patients so that future patients aren't wrongly denied treatment.
Thank you for your time.

Redbubble posters are a lot like space travel.
In that they're completely brilliant, however unlike space travel they're quite sensibly priced.
They are a handy way to make very dull walls, ceilings and spaceships look infinitely better.
Tack them to your bedroom door, or frame one above the mantlepiece.
They're adaptable, efficient and bold and really it's amazing you've managed to go so long without picking one up.
They are printed on 185gsm semi gloss poster paper and custom cut to three

The squad were always going to try take-a-break from the rigorous routine SAF had them in. With the switch, Moyes knew this would happen and has failed to get the team performing, this clear after 47 line-up changes. After early knock-outs in all tournaments bar CL, the team (with limited exceptions) still seem to be choosing when to fire on more than only one cylinder. Without huge efforts required in different tournaments every few days, this lack of performance and discipline can't be justified in any club, let alone Man United. Moyes is obviously not the right man for the job. The right one may also cause upsets in the dressing room, say the wrong thing on occasion, but will bring results - as contracted. The weird line-ups, subs etc. only point to management's inability to utilise a winning squad or even stabilise the ship. Moyes has had a problem with Valencia and Evra from day one. They were key to last season's success. He also made the choice to replace all-and-sundry with his own staff. That management must now bear the consequences of their failure.
Whether Giggs, Van Gaal or Klopp… a change should at least bring strings of great results, instead of one-a-month, plus encourage a few quality players to come on board. I think Giggs already has the backing of the first team and the respect of any potential signings - GIVE HIM THE JOB!!!
OR…Should us die-hard Manchester United fans just hang-in and wait for the club to de-value, change ownership and management then totally re-build???
