Born, Beaumont, Texas, October 8, 1928, Tom Tierney began his formal art instruction at the age of six with a private instructor, Juanita Brown.
He began studying life drawing and landscape painting at the age of twelve under Coleman Cohen and still-life painting under Mrs. Joe Price.
On graduating from high school in l945, he received the Nancy Beeman Strong Art Scholarship award and the Veesy Rainwater Painting Scholarship award.
He attended Lamar Junior College in 1945 and 1946. In 1947 he entered the University of Texas College of Fine Arts, graduating in 1949, magna cum laude, with a B.F.A., majoring in painting and minoring in sculpture.
At the University of Texas he studied under Eugene Trentham, Henry Lyons, John Gonzales, Julius Woeltz, and John Bernhardt for painting; Charles Umlauf and William McVey for sculpture; Constance Forsythe for lithography and printmaking, and Marian Davis for art history.
While attending the University of Texas he worked as a student assistant in the art history, sculpture, and graphic arts departments.
In 1948, while still attending the University of Texas, he won the Texas Fellowship Painting Award and spent a semester studying in Colorado Springs Fine Arts Center (University of Colorado), where he studied fresco painting under Jean Charlot and landscape painting under Julio de Martino. He also worked on stage sets with the Hanya Holm modern dance group while there.
Tom began freelance fashion illustration while in high school for local department stores in his hometown and continued doing freelance fashion illustration in Austin, principally for Goodfriend's Specialty Shop, while attending the University of Texas.
Upon graduation from college he became a fashion illustrator for Scarborough's Department Store specializing in women's wear.
Tierney then moved to Houston, Texas and became a layout artist for Foley's department store. From Foley's he then moved to The Fashion woman's specialty store as a fashion illustrator (whileat The Fashion it was purchased by Nieman Marcus and became Nieman's of Houston).
In l951 he entered the U.S. Army, serving until 1953 as a recruiting artist, and was stationed in Dallas and San Antonio, Texas.
On his own time, he did free-lance fashion illustration for Sanger's, W.A. Green's, and Titche-Goettinger's in Dallas, and Frost's Department Store in San Antonio. He also did free-lance illustration for Straley television studio in San Antonio.
While in the army he received a Purchase Award for watercolor in the Texas General Exhibition at the Witte Museum in San Antonio as well as a first prize in oil painting at the Beaumont Museum.
After serving in the army, Tierney returned to Houston and went to work for Battlestein's as their men's and children's fashion artist. While at Battlestein's he won a national award for outstanding men's fashion art in advertising.
In Houston he studied figure painting at the Houston Museum's evening classes.
In 1954, Tom moved to New York and attended Pratt Institute (1954-55) where he studied nature drawing with Dorothy Taylor, anatomy drawing with Krushev Ajoutian, sculpture with Calvin Albert and painting under Gustin and Bovais.
While attending Pratt, Tom began free-lancing for J. C. Penney, first doing children's fashion art and later men's and women's fashion art for them. His association with Penney's lasted for over fourteen years.
Concurrent with Penney's, he did free-lance art for Harper's Bazaar Magazine,
Lane Bryant Stores, Du Pont fabrics, Show Magazine, Tussy Colognes, Style
Lingerie, Campus Sportswear, Sports Illustrated Magazine, and Franklin Simon's
In 1969 he took a retainer to do fashion illustration for Gimble's for one year.
In 1970 he became fashion illustrator for Orbach's, doing men, children and women's fashion art.
After one year of doing art work for Orbach's exclusively, he returned to general free-lancing with accounts including A&S, Macy's, Korvette's, Sear's, Treasure Island, Montgomery Wards, The Town Shops, Kempton's, Manufacturer's Advertising, Advertir Ltd., David Crystal, Roaman's, Fein, Silver, and Soloway, Allied Graphic arts, Belk's Stores and others. He also produced a number of film posters for the Shorlane Bennet Agency.
His agents have been Gloria Karlson, Patricia Kaiser, Sylvia Fein, Evelyne and Bud Johnson, and Lewis Chambers. He now acts as his own agent in most instances.
During his years as a free-lance artist in New York, Tom has attended art classes at The Art Student's League where he studied fashion drawing under Dagmar Froekin, The High School of Visual Arts evening classes for conceptual art under Jack Potter, and fashion drawing classes at Pel's art school.
Tom Tierney has also done a number of portrait commissions with his sitters including Lorena Keith, Maeve Mcguire, John Arrington, Mrs. David Jones, Philip Diamante, Bobbie Mahler, Mark Forbes, Robin Glass, The Gregory Schenkewitz family, Carol Gunn,
Joyce Bell, Kira Kalichevsky, Irma Hurley, Curtis Glanville, as well as a goodly number of children's portraits and family groups.
In the mid-50s, because he had always been interested in the dance, Tom began to study ballet and tap dance with Emile Faustin. This led to further study, including creative expression and Graham technique with Judy Martin. As a result, he was in on the creation of the Paper Bag Players, a children's dance troupe, with Miss Martin.
After a dance related injury he began the study of singing with Gary Azaroff, and then vocal styling with Lady Bea Holland. In 1968 he had his debut as a nightclub singer at the Upstairs at the Duplex in Greenwich Village, coached and accompanied by John Wallowitch. After several successful nightclub engagements, including Trudy Heller's and the Plaza Hotel, he decided that a singing career was not to be, due to the conflict between the hours required for rehearsals and performing and his on-going career as a fashion illustrator.
In 1963 Tom bought a forty-acre farm in Hopewell Junction, Kent Township, New York that had an abandoned 150-year-old farmhouse and several barns of various ages. Since that time the restoration and maintenance of the house and gardens have been his chief hobby and relaxation. Tom sold the propery in 2007.
In 1966 he bought and fully restored a nineteenth century brownstone on West 76th Street in Manhattan where he and his parents lived (his father was his business manager).
When his parents decided to retire and return to their home in Texas, the prospect of maintaining a five story private home for one, in mid-town Manhattan, plus maintaining the farm property, seemed too much of a burden, so with regret the brownstone was sold.
Tierney then maintained a rented studio apartment in New York City as well as the farmhouse in the country.
In 1986 Tom Tierney Studios, Inc. (after the death of his father) was dissolved. In 1994 Tom incorporated the help of family and chartered Tom-Kat Paper Dolls, TKP, Inc. so that his mail order business could be established. His great-niece, Bridget designed and created his first website and has redesigned the site twice since, once with the assistance of her fiancé.
In 1975 Tom was casting about for a unique Christmas present for his mother. Remembering that she had saved her paper doll collection from when she was a girl in the early 1900s (Lettie Lane, G.G. Drayton, and assorted movie star paper dolls) he decided to make her some paper dolls of the 1930s movie stars who had been her favorites.
Pleased with the dolls, Garbo, Harlow, and Gable, his mother showed them to a number of friends, one of who turned out to be a literary agent. The agent convinced Tom that a book was possible, and as a result, his first book, "Thirty from the `30s", was born. It was published by Prentice-Hall in 1976. After "Thirty" had a successful run it was retired.
In 1978 Dover Publications, Inc. contacted Tom and proposed that he do some paper doll books for them. It has been a happy and continuing relationship.
He has also written, in collaboration with Malcolm Vance, a history of film costume design, which though sold twice, is as yet unpublished. The real bonus from that project was meeting and becoming friends with many of Hollywood's fabled costume designers such as Edith Head, Walter Plunkett, Bob Mackie, Howard Shoup, Gwen Wakeling, Bill Travilla, Leah Rhodes, and many others from the classic film era, as well meeting many of his favorite film stars.
During the '80s Tom and Joyce McClelland published a series of paper doll folios under the imprimatur of "Fine Arts Limited Editions". These folios included a series of famous stage and screen personalities as well a several folios on famous women authors.
In 1994 he began an association with B. Shackman Inc. Publications in addition to his affiliation with Dover. His work for Shackman will not conflict with that for Dover Publishing, but will "fill in the gaps" with projects that are different in concept from his Dover line.
In 1995, Tom did a set of "Star Trek" paper dolls for the first edition of "TV Guide's Collector's Edition" which is currently on the newsstands. His latest 1996 star piece was a Tracy Ullman p d for H.B.O. It was a special invitation for the preview of her series and only 1000 were printed. The series of Ullman dolls was expanded and used by Tracy in her book. In '97, Tom did a Marv. Albert p.d. for TV Guide and in '98 he was commissioned by "Out" magazine to do paper dolls to illustrate a feature editorial. Through the '90s, Tom has done paper dolls for several other magazines and commercial accounts, including a recent post card for "Reebok" sneakers.
In 1998 he started teaching a laboratory class in fashion sketching at Marist College in Poughkeepsie, N.Y. Although he thoroughly enjoyed the teaching experience, he has decided that teaching takes up too much of his time and that he would rather be working on his own projects at his own drawing board.
It is interesting to note that the New York Times has reviewed Tom Tierney's work thrice, and that he is the only paper doll artist to have a review in their Literary Section. Smithsonian Magazine has also featured him in an article about Dover Publishing. He has appeared on several TV programs, including "What's My Line", "CNN News", and "NBC News", and the "Joe Franklin Show", as well as being featured in a number of major newspaper's articles. In 1997 He was featured in the "Talk of the Town" section of the New Yorker Magazine. In 1999 his paper dolls of Gwyneth Paltrow and Kate Blanchette were featured in the N.Y. Times "Style" magazine, and in 2000 McCall's "Star Style" magazine featured three of his paper dolls, Katherine Zeta Jones, Gwenyth Paltrow, and Nicole Kidman. His work was featured on the cover of the American Costumer's Magazine for Dec. 2000, and in January of 2001 he was interviewed and quoted as an authority on "Presidential Dressing" in the New York Daily News.
About his paper doll work Tom Tierney states: "I feel that the most important thing about my paper doll books is that I am using the medium of the paper doll as an art form. To me, paper dolls can be more than just some 'cutsie' bit of fluff to be thrown at the children to perpetuate boredom. They can be artistic, vital, and alive and can tell us much about people, the clothes they wore, the way they lived and something of the times in which they lived. I also feel that the animation of the dolls and the costumes can indicate much about the personality of the subject. In conjunction with drawing the dolls I also write my own text, which I feel is an important adjunct to my books, explaining my `raison d'être' for treating the subject. Of course, I also thoroughly enjoy doing all the other sorts of illustration that I am involved in. The greater the variety, the less opportunity for stagnation to set in!"
Perhaps the greatest "perk" to come from his career as a paper doll artist is to receive fan mail from all around the world.
Tom has moved to Smithville, Texas. Patrick is Tom's business assistant and creates computer graphics from Tom's self-published pieces, while Kathy stays busy managing the web site and mail orders. Tom, Kathy, and Patrick are partners in their corporation, "Tom-Kat Paper Dolls".

Food for thought book store amherst
when ever social security ends how will younger generations be reimbursed? or will there be riots? I think it must be dissolved now not to mention anyone already receiving it should be given the choice to continue getting it within a much reduced rate until it is actually depleted or several alternative. And anyone whom contributed but for no reason received benefits obtain a tax credit as being a refund. it will not likely end, but probably you have got to wait until you happen to be older to secure any.. and perhaps more tax about what you get.. and also increased payments by those working.. they are willing to keep it afloat a shame that this politicians didn't make an attempt to do something if Bush suggested it another thing that is due to line is the actual inflation adjustment.. they have a higher % than actual knowning that costs a lot over time they did re-locate retirement age with the intention that helps, but still more really need to be done it is just not ed the third rail of politics for no purpose.. will take a number of tough politicians to do something positive about it.. something we discover a method to lacksocial security The on-going government will not merely dissolve social secureness, and it will not end-as is before. Reform is emminent, and by only paying out "what is due" is just not a plausable alternative. It is a very complex equation by which the baby boomers have heavily put onto the system. Absolutely, they are "draining" the system, however, that generation will be holder of approximatley % on this country's weath, so they obtained it by working hard for it. Aided by the improvements in medical, people are existing longer and far healthier lives, and a result of lack of protecting, having to retire later. Social security was NEVER used to be the only income source to work with as income after you retire. The smartest thing delivering to do should be to save money, and start an IRA as little as possible. If anyone opened an IRA on age, and included $, and NEVER added anything at all to it, by your time you reached (assuming that you just did not withdraw from the assets), you would have been a millionaire at retirement life.

|Return/Replacement policy:
"We purchased from CDW back in 2005 and haven't purchased anything since. Then out of the blue, we got a charge on our credit card! Coincidentally we have had no charges from them until now, when our credit card is going to expire at the end of this month. Seems very suspicious to me! We called them about it and they threw us into voice mail. Of course we're disputing the charge with our credit card company... Just wanted to give everyone a heads up that they keep your credit card numbers on file!! Beware!!"
"I have a commercial account and a dedicated representative but that said they do their best to see that I am happy. They have access to a lot of resources that I would not be able to take advantage of otherwise and they can get me the products that I need. Very helpful in my business."
"This company is a joke!
I placed an order for 2 Samsung drives on Nov. 27. I got an order confirmation. Then on Dec. 5 I got a Backorder notification email stating "Once the items are secured, we will ship them to you" with an est. ship date of 12/22/11. On 12/16/11 upon checking on the status of my order I found out that it had been cancelled. I emailed them and got an email back saying that they needed to confirm my order and I did not call them to confirm therefore the order got cancelled. I had already gotten a confirmation email from them and it did not say anywhere that I needed to RE-CONFIRM my order.
The sales rep Thomas Howell is a lying sack of s*#t for never calling calling me nor sending a single email to inform me that he had cancelled my order. Apparently what happened was that I placed my order for the drives at $79 each as advertised then when the items were back in stock they raised the price to $189.99 EACH. They refused to fill the order at the original advertised price so they cancelled my order. That's 140% increase in price.
They are the absolute worst company to do business with.
"Everyone is being decent on this post.
I will start by telling you I will never buy anything from these MF...They are a joke, I was trying to find out the status of my order and sales rep would not answer my calls until I blocked my number and his response was he was on the phone saw my number but did not have the courtesy of calling me back, what and idiot. My order was suppose to be shipped next day air and four day later they did not have an answer for me. Mind you everything was in stock. In my 20 of doing business they are without a doubt worst company I have dealt with.
When to a mom and pop shop locally and they provided an 1 hour later all my tracking numbers for next day delivery.
Beware do not engage this company they will be deceitful. lie to you and have no respect for you.
"I'll ask the same question as was posted in one of the reviews below. What's the point of having a re-sale site if you are not selling? I placed an order, which was confirmed with an order number, just to get an e-mail later saying they can't accept a payment by credit card and I have to wire the money. My question 'Why?' was answered (take a wild guess): 'You have to wire the money'. I asked my dad to try and place an order. His order was also not accepted saying 'It's your daughter's order' (we all live at the same address). Are these people out of their minds???? Never shop here again!"
"Whats the point of shopping here when you order something, and they call and say we cant ship it to you"
"Easily the worst buy I made in Canada so far.
One product was incorrectly listed and they don't accept it.
And the other one, which I had chosen because it was 'in stock', was actually not in stock...
I'll never buy with them again.
Ps.: And I'm not even mentioning the really really poor customer support."
"Do not order here. Placed an order yesterday for five 2TB Seagate drives - they were listed as in stock - the order was confirmed.
Today I received a call from a CDW rep stating that the price for the drives had increased by over 50% due to the flooding in Thailand. I asked to speak to a supervisor. She said that there inventory systems weren't real-time and they were out of stock and to order new drives they would have to raise their prices. Further she wouldn't admit that they were raising their prices but insisted that it wasn't their problem.
I canceled the order.
If you need to know if a product is in stock shop don't shop at CDW. Never had an e-tailer call me up after an order was placed to raise prices by 50% - would say that was a bit deceptive.
"Ordered two hard drives and they called me back and said they couldn't fulfill the order because it was for resale. Really??!"
"The Worst company online! I placed an order and got the confirmation; next day I got e-mail with a quote that had an order number, and the next day when I login it displays the order as cancelled! With no notification!
I buy a lot online but the are THE WORST ever"
"Worst company I have ever dealt with in my life. Don't ever purchase anything from these people."
"Do not buy from this company. Ordered something from them, received confirmation with order #. The order was canceled without any email or call notification. I had to called to find out 3 days later. Til today, there is still no notification regarding the cancelation. "
"Ordered about $3500 worth of networking stuff. Card was charged. Then I get a call from my account representative, demanding that I wire the money. Money wired. Bank charged me fee for that.
After that, I am told by account rep that one of my items is no longer available and I have to order a more expensive one. After that, he finds the item still available.
Few days later, he calls me saying that in order for them to ship it, I MUST order support contract. I had no way out of that, since money already wired, and order support. Charged my VISA card. Again, they demand that I wire the money. Another bank fee charged.
Few days after that, they send me revised quote that also includes SHIPPING!!! for a support plan.
As of 8/25/2011, items are still not shipped. I have no way of cancelling the order because wire transfer been completed. Never again, I will come back to CDW."
"My co-workers and myself included received a mass email today (Thursday) from CDW.com in response to our HP Touchpad orders. These orders were submitted and confirmed on Monday morning. Why it took CDW 3-4 days to send an apology "we can't fill your confirmed order" is beyond me. I don't understand how an online business, one which uses automation on their site, can't tell if they have something in stock. I'm not mad that they didn't had the devices in stock. I'm completely pi$$ed that they didn't tell me until now. My local Best Buy had these in stock for a few hours yesterday. I would have gone there had I known CDW couldn't deliver. What is also aggravating, is that we purchase all of our company equipment through CDW. I would never recommend these guys again after this debacle. "

Setting the Record Straight: Massage Gets a Bad Rap in National Report
By Rebecca J. Razo
Over the years, the massage profession has been no stranger to adversity. Many battles have been fought, and won, to protect the reputations of the profession and massage professionals throughout the country.Fortunately, an increasing number of studies and news reports have helped validate massage and other forms of complementary and alternative medicine (CAM) in treating pain and dysfunction. (See the top story in this issue: "Newsweek Validates Complementary and Alternative Therapies for Back Pain" www.massagetoday.com/archives/2004/06/01.html) With all of the positive aspects of the advancing massage profession, it can be disheartening when media reports indict massage as a harmful practice with little or no supporting evidence.
Such was the case in April 2004, when a short segment ran on national television suggesting that massage can be dangerous. The segment, which was written, produced and distributed by Ivanhoe Broadcast News - a health news-gathering service that produces daily media reports - was subsequently posted on several Web sites.1 One report, "Massages Could Cause More Pain Than Relief," ran on a major Southern California network with the following introduction: "People often feel better right after a relaxing massage, but many people leave the table feeling even worse. Experts say what you don't know about massage may cause more pain than relief."2
The feature discussed the case of Mary Schreiner, who had sought massage after suffering injuries in two major accidents. Schreiner claimed she felt fine during and immediately following massage, but that the treatments ultimately aggravated her injuries; in the end, Schreiner received cortisone injections to manage her pain.1,2
The piece quoted only one expert, Dr. Robert Gotlin, a physical rehabilitation specialist with Beth Israel Medical Center in New York City, who made three blanket statements in relation to massage, including that 15 percent of massage patients need corrective treatment following massage; thin people should avoid deep-tissue massage because of potential injury; and a client's likelihood of receiving a safe massage is better from a "therapist with credentials from the American Massage Therapy Association."1,2
In an initial phone interview, Dr. Gotlin told Massage Today that his true message was not made clear in the television segment, and that he was not given the opportunity to proofread the piece before it went to production3 -- a statement Stacie Overton, Director of Medical Programming for Ivanhoe, vehemently denies. "We fact-check everything we do," Overton said. "If he had a problem, I wish he had said something ... if [he thought the piece] was presented poorly."4
Dr. Gotlin indicated that the segment was originally intended to address what he perceives is a problem in the massage profession. "The impetus for this piece is the recent increase in storefront 'pay-by-the-minute' massage centers," he said. "For the hundreds of patients seen monthly for complaints of musculoskeletal pain ... [an] increasingly common modality tied to pain symptoms is storefront 'pay-by-the-minute' massages."5 But Overton denies the piece was ever intended to cover massage mishaps in storefront-type operations. "I would have never accepted that story," she said.4
When queried about his claim that 15 percent of massage patients need corrective treatment, Dr. Gotlin told Massage Today that his statistic was derived from unofficial, nonscientific assessments of thousands of patients from his private practice over the past two to three years. "This was a practice comment," he said.
However, transcripts of Ivanhoe's original interview, which were fact-checked and approved by Dr. Gotlin prior to production, show-- although he openly admits his conclusions are based on "trial and error" evaluations of his own patients -- that Dr. Gotlin never clarifies his statistical assessment is based on those same in-office patient evaluations; consequently, this omission resulted in an innacurate depiction of massage injuries.6,7,8
Moreover, Dr. Gotlin, who claims to see roughly five to six patients a week for injuries following massage, agreed that his patients usually have pre-existing injuries that are merely exacerbated -- not caused by -- massage.3 The feature never makes this point clear.
In reality, it is "rare for a well-trained massage therapist to give a bad massage," remarked AMTA President Laurel Freeman. "There are very few malpractice claims filed against massage therapists for injury."9 Moreover, the number of documented injuries is extremely low.
According to a study conducted by massage educator Keith Eric Grant, PhD, and published in the October 2003 issue of the Journal of Bodywork and Movement Therapies: "There are extremely few reported cases of injury related to massage within the indexed health care literature. While statements have occurred in newspapers that would seem to indicate that massage has a high potential and probability for causing injury, such anecdotal statements have no support in the medical literature or in insurance statistics."10
And a study published late last year in Rheumatolgy indicates that although "massage is not entirely risk free ... serious adverse events are probably true rarities."11
"I seriously question the judgment if not the ethics of [Gotlin's] pronouncements to the media," Dr. Grant said. "If Dr. Gotlin had clinical observations to report, doing so by a journal article or letter to the editor would have been a fully appropriate and useful contribution to the ongoing professional dialogue and development of the massage profession." Dr. Grant further noted that Dr. Gotlin's statements were made "in a manner potentially misleading to the public."12
Still, Dr. Gotlin stressed his support of massage therapy when properly indicated, and affirmed that his concern is for those who self-treat with massage prior to seeking appropriate medical care for pre-existing injuries. "For those who are without pain and wish the comforts of soft-tissue massage ... this is not the population I am speaking of," he said. "It is those who have complaints of neck or back pain accompanied by arm and/or leg pain, which manifests at night, or pain along with muscle weakness ... conditions which should undergo a medical evaluation before embarking on any therapy.
"Massage therapy may be an excellent modality choice if not contraindicated," he continued. "Many patients are not [told] to seek medical advice by the storefront massage therapist. In fact, there is usually no discussion of any related symptoms."5 Yet, Dr. Gotlin's support of massage therapy was not a point made central to the feature that aired.
James Waslaski, international lecturer on orthopedic massage, chronic pain and sports injuries, believes that massage often receives negative press because of ongoing "turf wars" between health care professionals, and affirms that "many advanced disciplines within [the massage] profession have a very low chance of making an existing injury worse.
"I do recommend that people become certified in advanced [massage] disciplines ... to assure that proper assessment is done prior to treatment. By referring out [to other qualified therapists], certain complicated conditions ... would not become exacerbated by massage treatments. In fact, many times for soft tissue injuries, muscle relaxants and cortisone injections will only mask the patient's symptoms instead of treating the underlying structural imbalance causing the pain," Waslaski said.13
Another of Dr. Gotlin's claims was that thin people should not receive deep-tissue massage. "The most common body habitus seen with complaints of increased symptoms with deep massage is the ectomorph. Those who are thin may suffer the greatest ill effects of deep-tissue massage, likely due to the close proximity of the massaging hands to inflamed nerves and muscles," he said.5
But according to Waslaski, "deep tissue massage can indeed be performed safely on thin individuals." Waslaski affirms that most orthopedic massage instruction stresses the importance in teaching massage to remain "always pain free," which may involve "superficial to deep, myofascial spreading routine, avoiding bony landmarks to increase blood flow to ischemic areas ... gentle trigger point techniques to referral pain patterns in short muscle groups and gentle stretching ... to assist the body back to a state of balance.
"In my opinion, muscle groups shorten because of repetitive use or poor postures," he continued. "It is our role to lengthen those short muscle groups in a pain free fashion. We should never cause pain in our treatments, and [must conduct] a thorough assessment of [the] patient prior to doing the treatment," Waslaski added.13
Freeman agrees. "Thin people have skin and muscles just like people who are heavier. The more important question is: 'What is the person's sensitivity level?'"9
Although Dr. Gotlin is on record saying that those seeking massage should ask if "the therapist [is] certified by the AMTA,"7 he amended his statement to Massage Today, stating instead that consumers should seek a massage therapist "who is certified/licensed by an organization such as the AMTA."5
He also wants the public to know that his intentions were noble: "The intent of ... my media pieces is to 'advise' consumers ... to increase awareness of the indications/contraindications and risk/benefit ratios for the many therapeutic options available," he said. "I am an advocate and believer in massage therapy."5
Although some may construe this report as a setback to the massage industry, Freeman emphasizes how far the profession has come over the past several years. "Massage has been growing at an incredible rate," she said. "In the last seven years, AMTA's consumer surveys have shown the percentage of American adults receiving massage jump from 8 percent to 21 percent; the number of articles written about massage have gone from 3,700 per year to over 15,000; and the massage profession is listed in the American Medical Association's Health Professions Career & Education Directory."9

First impression on unpacking the Q702 test unit was the solid feel and clean, minimalist styling.
For work use, Microsoft Word and Excel programs pre-installed on the device are adequate for preparing short documents.
The Fujitsu LifeBook UH574 allowed for great mobility without being obnoxiously heavy or clunky. Its twelve hours of battery life did not disappoint.
The screen was particularly good. It is bright and visible from most angles, however heat is an issue, particularly around the Windows button on the front, and on the back where the battery housing is located.
My first impression after unboxing the Q702 is that it is a nice looking unit. Styling is somewhat minimalist but very effective. The tablet part, once detached, has a nice weight, and no buttons or switches are located in awkward or intrusive positions.

The Orlando Magic have agreed to terms with free agent power forward Channing Frye today, reaching an agreement on a 4 year, $32 million deal. Frye was a member of the Phoenix Suns last season, averaging 11.1 points per game, 5.1 rebounds per game, and 0.8 blocks per game with the team.
So what does Frye bring to the table for the Magic? He has an incredible touch from three-point range, a career 38.5% shooter from deep. However, Frye is not your typical stretch four. He can defend as well, providing help in the low post, joining an already stout defensive core of Elfrid Payton, Victor Oladipo and Aaron Gordon. The Magic get a great two-way player in Frye and he gives an added layer to their offensive schemes, stretching the floor to providing driving lanes for Oladipo and Gordon. He is an able shooter on kick-outs if those driving lanes are not there.
The move should not come as a surprise for the Magic, a team that has been reportedly interested in other power forwards, such as Greg Monroe and Patrick Patterson, who eventually re-signed with the Raptors.

Benedick: I protest I love thee.Will They or Won't They? Well, They Do. The conclusion of a Romance Arc with a Happy Ending. The point where we are finally done with breakups, misunderstandings and second thoughts. If the story is done with them, they live Happily Ever After. If it isn't, when the rest of it happens to them they'll have each other. Give them enough time, and they'll likely be Happily Married by then. Unless the story decides to start up a whole new string of complications from scratch somewhere in the far future, they finally get to catch a break. And chances are they had to go through a lot to earn it. If there has been an engaging "will it work?" plot up to this point, a They Do can induce a variation of Shipping Bed Death (or, of course, it can induce the standard brand if it doubles as a Relationship Upgrade)- in which case, cue a last second split up, one party getting run over by a bus or some other malarkey. Writers may try to avert this by segueing into a new kind of story- shifting the focus to a newer couple to keep the old romance plots open, or using the stable relationship to open up fresh new avenues for comedy, drama and adventure. Contrast with Maybe Ever After, which is when a romance arc ends without clearly confirming whether or not They Do. Spoilers ahoy.
Beatrice: Why, then, God forgive me!
Benedick: What offence, sweet Beatrice?
Beatrice: You have stayed me in a happy hour. I was about to protest I loved you.
Benedick: And do it with all thy heart.
Beatrice: I love you with so much of my heart that none is left to protest.

Your lovemap, the mental image of what you want in a relationship, guides the way your actual relationships unfold. Sex researcher John Money, who first used the term, defined a lovemap as the mental guide that shapes your erotic desires in relationships. However, Money's use of the term might more accurately be referred to as a "sexmap."
Another well-known relationship expert, John Gottman, adapted Money's term to refer to knowledge of your romantic partner's more general interests, preferences, attitudes, and behaviors. However, this seems more accurately to describe your partner's lovemap, not yours. The lovemap you have is your own image of how a relationship can, and should, be. It's the script that drives your hopes, expectations, and ultimately your behavior, in romantic relationships.
Think of a lovemap as your relationship GPS. It serves to point you in the direction of certain types of partners (the "destination"), tells you when you'd like to reach certain relationship goals (the "estimated time to destination"), and gives you an idea of what obstacles will stand in your way (what traffic or construction to "avoid"). These three factors all make up the expectations we have about our current and future relationships.

Spread the word | The Navigator Advertising Redesign
It's good to have a direction on this project. The feed back I received was helpful in bringing the project to the next step. Overall the project is cohesive, and communicates effectively. I feel the poster can be tweaked quite a bit more, and the wording needs to change, as it is not easy to get right off.
Going forwards I'm going to be using the feedback I was given, to create a more cohesive look through size, by making all the elements square. I'll be keeping the black and white, and tweaking the poster. We also found that it was necessary to create more of a serious, and so playing off the early morning/breakfast thing, we're going to add in a coffee cup as another promotional piece.
From Harper's Weekly, September 30, 1865:
The race between the rival yachts Fleetwing and Henrietta began on the 11th instant. At a little after 8 o'clock in the morning the yachts started from the lightship off Sandy Hook and were soon out of sight. The Henrietta led the race under a slight southeast wind, while the Fleetwing was rather to the windward. At first the breeze freshened, but it subsequently died completely away. The weather throughout the voyage was very fickle, and the contest proved to be what is called a " drifting" race, and was thus deprived of much of the interest which would have belonged to it under other circumstances. Wednesday at noon the fleet-wing passed the lightship on its return an hour be-fore the Henrietta. The former vessel was there-fore declared the winner, though the voyage is by no means regarded as a decisive proof of the sailing qualities of either vessel.
The Fleetwing was docked off Hunter's Point. She has just been built, and is owned by Mr. G. A. OSGOOD, son-in-law of Commodore VANDERBILT. Her length is 106 feet, beam 21 feet, and depth of hold 10 feet, with a tonnage of about 200 tons. The Henrietta, owned by Mr. JAMES GORDON BENNETT, JUN., has less length of bottom, and her entrance is not so sharp. Her appearance is strongly suggestive of strength and endurance. She was built three years since, but has recently been improved.

Be intelligent, but not to intelligent. Act indifferent and aloof, but tell them their beautiful and that you are jealous when they go out with other guys, because they love attentiveness.
Be generous and volunteer for the sole purpose of getting laid, be good at fucking. don't look at the surface, dig deeper, sweep her off her feet, and into your bed.
be dominante like primates, which are known to be vicious animals, but still remember the previous rule of being generous and sensitive.
pretend to like frank sinatra, and exotic food, bitches love that shit.
Have a sense of humour and fun, but in a funny cocky way, like tom cruise in top gun.
It's interesting that shit thats fed to males, and yet no one ever talks about the issue. You essentially need to be an everyman, because let's face it, woman buy into these things too. It's funny how it suggests liking interests you might not like. Pretend to be smarter but not to smart, funnier and cockier but not to much so, more sensitive but dominant, be interested but don't be interested.
I suggest that we have a movement where people be their selves. Maybe focus more on how kind a guy is, how well he treats you, maybe take his feelings into consideration. lets all treat each other like people.

I compiled and manipulated these images to illustrate an opinion piece in The Phoenix on the CRTC decision to increase the basic cable packaging. The rainbow one was for the masthead in recognition of OutWeek which we AGAIN did nothing to promote other than have this bs. whoops. We love the gays, I swear.

text: Rutherford's Tweets Show Mix of Work, Politics SPRINGFIELD, Ill. (AP) -- State Treasurer Dan Rutherford's Twitter account not only chronicles him fixing home appliances and jogging on a treadmill. It also highlights his practice of tacking political events onto official travel funded by state taxpayers. Illinois ethics laws separating government and campaign work aren't as specific as the federal government's. Still, most politicians go to great lengths not to publicize when they mix activities. The Associated Press found more than 20 combined purpose trips by Rutherford over an 18-month period. State comptroller travel records show he topped all constitutional officers for state-paid trips during that time. The Chenoa native is one of four Republicans running for governor in 2014. Rutherford says he mixes activities because he works long hours for Illinois. He says all trips are anchored by government events. 11 01 13 by Newsroom News management powered by Xpression News

New Delhi: Canada coach Paul Bundy on Friday said India will be a tough team to beat when the two sides clash at the Hockey Junior World Cup on Saturday.
Bundy looked disappointed after his side was thrashed by South Korea 4-7 in the Pool C opener at the Major Dhyan Chand National Stadium on Friday.
"Our next game is with India and we understand that they will be a tough team to beat," Bundy said after the match.
Reflecting on the match against Korea, Bundy added: "The boys gave a strong fight but unfortunately we lost. While the team found its momentum in the second half of the game, the Korean team played a better game today."
India face the Netherlands in another Pool C clash on Friday.
