ditional climate risks that depend on how the climate system responds to concentrations above 450 ppm CO2-eq. For instance, this could send the climate system over critical thresholds (e.g., irreversible drying of the subtropics, melting large glaciers, and raising sea levels); once such thresholds are crossed, reducing CO2-eq concentrations may be ineffective for bringing the climate system back to a particular state (Solomon et al., 2009). Finally, allowing emissions to follow an overshoot pathway in the near term leaves open the possibility that, once the concentration target is exceeded, the necessarily steeper emissions declines later in the century may never materialize.
Radiative forcing and CO2-eq concentrations. Radiative forcing is a measure of impact on the Earth's radiative balance from changes in concentrations of key substances such as GHGs and aerosols. It is generally expressed in terms of watts per meters squared (W/m2) but can also be expressed in terms of CO2-equivalent(CO2 -eq) concentrations, that is, the concentrations of CO2 only that would lead to the same impact on the Earth's radiative balance (Ramaswamy et al., 2001). Radiative forcing agents in the atmosphere that are most relevant to considerations of future climate change include the "Kyoto" gases (those included in the Kyoto Protocol: CO2, CH4, N2O, HFCs, PFCs, and SF6); CFCs and other ozone-depleting substances covered by the Montreal Protocol; tropospheric ozone; different types of aerosols including sulfates, black carbon, and organic carbon; and land use changes that affect the reflectivity of the Earth's surface.
Many global emissions scenarios consider only CO2 or only the Kyoto gases. The results of analyses that include only Kyoto gas forcing differ from those that include "full forcing," primarily due to the impact of aerosols. The aerosol influence is complex; some types such as black carbon exert positive forcing (warming), while other types such as sulfates exert negative forcing (cooling). It is estimated that, overall, aerosol-related cooling influences currently lower total forcing by roughly an equivalent of 50 ppm CO2 (Forster and Ramaswamy, 2007). Many studies indicate that the aerosol influence will attenuate over the coming century, however, particularly if strong climate change limiting policies are enacted. This is because aerosol emissions from fossil fuel combustion are expected to be significantly reduced, both as an indirect result of GHG mitigation efforts and as a direct result of concerns over health impacts. For example, in scenarios from the EMF22 models that most comprehensively considered full forcing, it was found that, by the end of the century, Kyoto-only CO2-eq concentrations were roughly equal to full-forcing concentrations.
delays in global participation, no models could produce the scenario that met 450 ppm CO2-eq by 2100.
The EMF22 results indicate that atmospheric GHG concentrations can be kept below 450 ppm CO2-eq only if the United States and other high-income countries, along with China, India, and many other low- and middle-income countries around the world, take aggressive actions to reduce emissions starting within the next few years. This would represent a dramatic change from recent trends across the globe. If the major

Baseball extends Georgia to 11 innings in 4-3 loss
SEC member Bulldogs rally with two runs in bottom of 9th, win it with double in 11th
February 27, 2014Tweet
Contact: John Hartrick (firstname.lastname@example.com)
ATHENS, Ga. – Host Georgia (3-6) rallied from a 3-1 deficit in the bottom of the ninth and then scored the winning run in the 11th inning to post a 4-3 victory over Binghamton (3-5) Friday night at Foley Field.
The Bearcats had the six-time SEC champion Bulldogs on the ropes in the ninth, holding a 3-1 lead. But Georgia benefited from three straight walks to open the inning and the hosts plated the two tying runs on just one hit. Binghamton kept its hopes alive with a double play and then a two-out infield pop-up with the winning Georgia run at third.
Binghamton put runners on base in each of the 10th and 11th frames but couldn't capitalize. Georgia then took advantage of walks in their half of the11th as the first two hitters reached on free passes. The Bulldogs ended the game with an RBI double to center field.
After giving up a run in the sixth inning, BU rallied for three runs in the top of the eighth inning to grab the 3-1 lead. Sophomore catcher Nick Pancerella walked to start the inning and senior shortstop John Howell dropped down a sacrifice bunt, moving pinch runner Darian Herncane to second. One out later, senior center fielder Bill Bereszniewicz laced an RBI double to left and senior second baseman Daniel Nevares followed with an RBI single to center, giving Binghamton a 2-1 lead. Nevares scampered to third and home and successive wild pitches to push BU's lead to 3-1.
Junior starter Jack Rogalla went 7.0 innings and scattered five hits and a run in the no-decision. He struck out two and lowered his season ERA to 3.00 in three starts. Sophomore reliever Mike Bunal (L, 0-1) took the loss after working the final two innings. He struck out the side in the 10th and allowed just two hits. Bearcats pitchers issued nine walks in the game.
Nevares went 2-for-4 with an RBI and Bereszniewicz also had two hits and an RBI. Junior left fielder Jake Thomas and senior DH Shaun McGraw each went 2-for-4.
Binghamton outhit Georgia 9-7. The Bulldogs also cut down several BU opportunities with three double plays.
The teams continue their three-game set with a single game at 1 p.m. on Saturday. Sophomore right hander Jake Cryts will take the mound against Georgia's Sean McLaughlin.

Hailing from Albuquerque, New Mexico, Lincoln Street Exit encountered a wealth of local popularity during the freak years. Five singles were recorded between 1966 and 1969, followed by an album, Drive It, on the Mainstream label that contained a bloody-knuckled brew of heavy rock and dirty blues workouts.
Shortly after the arrival of the album, Lincoln Street Exit changed their appellation to XIT and continued to draw the regional crowds. Eternally remembered and revered by those who were there, it nonetheless remains a drag that neither group was heard much beyond their neighborhood because they certainly had their mojo firing on all cylinders.
Although everything and anything bearing either band's name gets my stamp of approval, this is easily my favorite disc of the bunch, which marked Lincoln Street Exit's second single.

Cluttered with choppy guitar riffs, racing rhythms and seriously incensed vocals, "The Bummer" (ECCO Records) is a cruel kiss off to a flame. Abuzz with high energy performances and acres of aggravated aggression, punctuated with a wild scream, the raw-boned rocker summons the specter of the early Kinks with style and substance. Exploding with emotion, the singer articulates the message well, stating he would rather sleep on benches than live with his girlfriend. One can only imagine how dramatic the relationship was!
Navigated by a dark and brooding pitch, matched by some creepy lyrics indicating Santa Claus is dead, "Sunny Sunday Dream" swoops its way through a series of whipping beats that hit the listener right in the gut. Groaning keyboard doodles, partnered with an eerie sound resembling a howling wolf, further make the track a certified psychedelic classic.

I agree that attacking Firefox is a simpler way to carry out the

Moreover, only addons.mozilla.org and update.mozilla.org are set as

one tries to install addons from other site, Firefox issues a warning.
So, this is pretty good. As far as the possibility of malicious addon
on Mozilla site is concerened, the probability is pretty low as the
addons on the Mozilla site appear for download only after a review
So, I don't see this type of attack particularly more dangerous than a

also don't see this type of attack any simpler than fooling a user to

I don't understand why any team would want this guy. Sure he has some ability still, but you just know that at some point he's going to do something absolutely moronic like this and cost the team as a result. What he did to Marc Savard is unforgivable and he's still doing stuff like that now. Perma-ban this guy and let him try to ruin the careers of guys in the KHL instead.
I think it is so you don't have him on the OTHER team injuring YOUR guys.
Other than that, I don't have an explanation.

Re: WWE: A Strong Response
Raw Review
Opening promo was very good as normal with your shows. The usual stuff you get with HHH and Mcmahon. Nice set up for Cyber Sunday and the show's ME.
Punk/Holly was nothing more than a filler match and too get Punk over. Build him up as a credible choice in the title match. He could do with a good feud after Cyber Sunday.
Rhodes promo was nothing much for me. The typical father/son respect thing and what you'd expect.
Good to see Burke's push continue. Came over as very arrogant and cocky which is good.
Kennedy promo was great. In character and very smart how you used the fact he's won big first blodd and ladder matches already. Great promo and well thought out
The 6 person tag was alright. Packing three feuds into one match makes sense with not much time to get them all on TV. Not too sure about Mickie pinning Beth. Smart move not having the men get pinned. Probably means Beth will retain at Cyber Sunday.
Orton promo was good again. Once again done by the book and what you'd expect on a normal Raw.
The whole Santino promo was a bit random. His hate for JR came out of nowhere and throwing Cena into the mix didn't make too much sense. Dont like it when 2nd generation wrestlers rely on their fathers or whoever too get them pushed. I'm alright with using Bulldog to get fans to know who DH is but don't overuse the connection and attach him to it. Give him his own character. The same with Cody.
Punk promo was good again. To the book and possible interference in the main event?
Not sure about the booking here having a match on the CS card on free TV. Would have been better going along with the two singles matches like last week. Good match though and the attack at the ned evened it up after Dreamer getting the pin.
Handicap gauntlet was a good idea. First two matches were obvious endings. Last one was more of a match. Morrison seems to be making the numbers up. Aftermath was good too. Punk coming out I saw coming but was a good touch. HHH eventually going over orton builds to his high momentum. I see Orton retaining now and continuing the feud. probably not a clean finish either. Obvious HHH is being pushed as the main contender.
Overall it was done very much to the book. What you'd expect from a normal Raw. Not your best one so far but still of a high enough standard. Booking was a bit random in places but promos and matches were all good. SD preview looks good too.

In the News: Mandatory school age could fall
State Sen. Kimberly Lightford has introduced legislation to lower Illinois' compulsory school age from 7 to 5, a move aimed at countering Chicago's crisis in K-8 truancy and absenteeism, the Tribune reports.
SITTING EMPTY: A study released Monday concluded that Chicago is already awash in vacant school property for sale, with 24 shuttered CPS sites on the market plus about as many old Catholic schools for sale or lease. Most of Chicago's vacant schools have been so for more than 10 years. (Sun-Times)
CLOSING IN ON CLOSINGS: Another round of community meetings on public school closings in Chicago will begin Wednesday after the district releases a preliminary list of schools that could be shut down. (Tribune)
ON TO ROUND TWO: CPS begins a second round of 14 community meetings Wed., Feb. 13 on what it is calls the district's "utilization crisis." The first round of was expected to collect feedback from more than 7,500 parents and community members around the city, CPS announced in a press release. Community meetings being held this week are:
- 2/13/2013: Austin-North Lawndale, 7-9 pm, House of Prayer Church of God in Christ, 3535 W. Roosevelt Road (NEW LOCATION!)
- 2/14/2013: Lake Calumet, 7-9 pm, Olive Harvey College, 10001 S. Woodlawn
- 2/16/2013: Ravenswood-Ridge, 11am-1pm, Truman College, 1145 W. Wilson
Shifting decision-making from the district level to school principals is one of the details that have emerged on how Round Lake Area Unit District 116 intends to change how education is delivered to students to boost academic achievement. (Daily Herald)
GROWING INVENTORY: As student enrollment steadily declines in many urban districts, school leaders across the country are struggling to manage a growing inventory of empty and shuttered buildings that are difficult to sell, lease, or otherwise repurpose, a new study finds. The Pew Charitable Trusts examined those three city districts, along with Atlanta, Chicago, Cincinnati, Cleveland, the District of Columbia, Milwaukee, Pittsburgh, St. Louis, and Tulsa, in a report that found that the impact of large-scale public school closures reverberate for years after the buildings are shut down. (Education Week)
BUILD NOW, PAY LATER: Since 2007, hundreds of school districts and community colleges across California have used capital appreciation bonds to raise nearly $7 billion for various construction projects, according to data from the state treasurer's office. The bonds have allowed school districts that are short on cash to finance classroom renovations and new athletic facilities while delaying payment for years, or even decades. (The New York Times)
OUTSIDE INFLUENCE: Outside groups are mounting campaigns to influence the outcome of three races for seats on the Los Angeles Board of Education. The Coalition for School Reform has raised more than $1.5 million, mostly from a small group of wealthy donors who helped fund past campaigns. (Los Angeles Times)

Chicago has a requierment for 5 year olds to be in school-still
there are 5 and 6 year olds who have parents who do not get them to school--sen. lightford does not know this?--she should. Lowering the age will not get truanst chuildren to school--sending a CPS face person to their door to get the child to school will! Work on that semn. lightford. and stop uno from putting out african american students--that would help too.

No, I don't. However, I think two-parent households including a mother and father is the best platform for the family to create a stable society, and it is my right to seek to pass laws that encourage people to engage in stable heterosexual marriage. Preventing homosexual acts falls under the purview of evangelism, not law.

The raise for elected officials, including the mayor and city councilors, follows the raise the council previously approved for all city employees.
Columbus officials say they expect taxpayers to get more credits from the state, meaning the city may be able to increase taxes and not increase tax burdens.
Mayor Brown tasked the newly resurrected ambulance board with recommending a new ambulance provider to the Public Works Board by July 17th.
The board will make recommendation not just for Columbus, but for Bartholomew County EMS services as well.
Police officers and firefighters will be exempted from the ban.
Tony Stewart and Columbus Mayor Kristen Brown are attending a reception hosted by President Barack Obama this month.
Mayor Kristin Brown says she accepts the city council's decision to keep the loan taken for a sports complex but does not agree with the decision.
Columbus Mayor Kristen Brown proposed a plan to eliminate the city's trash fee, but city council members are questioning some details of the plan.
Mayor Kristen Brown says the decision to remove Chapple was made to "increase the level of professionalism" within the department.
Money intended to fund a sports complex in Columbus is being directed to other city projects.

A few weeks ago, I was riding the BART from Oakland to San Francisco. It was night, but not yet very late. I was with my sister and a friend, three women on our way home from a music show in a friend of a friend's living room. We were dressed nicely, but not extraordinarily. We were sober, tired, and probably talking about books or food. Across the aisle from us were four young men, well dressed, not boisterous. They were talking about apps and office politics.
Standing in the aisle, there was a crazy drunk.
The crazy drunk was muttering, occasionally shouting, and he smelled of drink, drink, drink. He sat down next to my friend and reached into my lap to grab my hands. He had filthy hair, filthy clothes, and his hands were so dirty that I could feel his palms sticking to my wrists. He said something and then he laughed. His eyes were very wet and very red. I thought about how unfortunate it was that I had crossed my legs with my bad knee on top. What if I kicked him and I was at a disadvantage because I have a leg that is slightly less confident in force? "Don't touch me," I said. He laughed and laughed. He was a cartoon lunatic, every now and then thrusting his chin or chest at one of us so we would clutch and wilt.
We didn't say anything because we were scared. We are physically capable women. I don't think any of us would hesitate to tell off an overeager man in a bar, to deflect a grope with a swat or a slap. But, when the harassment is both drunk and unstable, when you can't trust the efficacy of shame in returning the situation to accepted boundaries, it seems safer to stay silent and hold still.
The four men across the aisle didn't say anything either. They looked at us out of the corner of their eyes and talked about bourbon and a co-worker's latest mistakes.
Eventually, the crazy drunk left us. He went to the other end of the car, slapped a man across the face, and started a fight. He had to be restrained by another man and pushed out of the train when we finally emerged from the tunnel that runs under the Bay.
People clapped for the man who restrained the crazy drunk. The four men across the aisle from us pointedly did not look. They talked about their plans for the weekend.
When my sister, friend, and I got off the train, we discovered that each of us was upset that the men across from us said nothing. We also discovered that each of us instantly felt guilty for feeling upset. We felt guilty for expecting a certain behavior, for expecting someone to rescue us from the situation. Why couldn't we do it ourselves? Aren't we strong? Aren't we adults? Why do we have the expectation that a person will intervene on our behalf, just because he is physically capable and a man?
We talked about how different a city is when you walk around it with a man from when you walk around it with another woman. We talked about how we have all been in situations where we were harassed, menaced, and scared by a man, but had the aggression immediately dissipate when another man leaned over and said, "are you bothering her?" Just that. "Are you bothering her?" We talked about how we have all been in similar situations where another woman asked the same thing and the harassment grew more belligerent, gleeful, unhinged. "How funny," says the man who harasses, gropes, or threatens us. "You're so angry. You look so pretty when you're angry." I have sat on a bus while a young man scraped a knife back and forth across the pole between us and told his friends that "girls like it when you have a knife, oh yeah, they think it's sexy," and I said nothing because I was scared.
It makes me feel both fussy and ridiculous to realize that I have expectations of chivalry from men. But, it makes me angry to know that, in certain situations, my desire to not be touched or threatened is not taken seriously until it is reinforced by a man. It makes me sad that experience has taught me that any upset I display has less effect than a man leaning over to say, "hey, man, are you bothering her?"

"no one liked it when the cousins came up for air."
My sister and I had a conversation about dandyism and underground drug farms. It left me with a half-baked story idea that I may or may not end up working on because I am the laziest when it comes to doing research for stories.

"oh, Margot," said the tape recorder
I'm working on a new short story. It's a little bit ridiculous.
A trick I've discovered: when bored with your own turns of phrase, particularly when you're as prone to lollygagging sentences as I am, it helps to draw a picture and write the words on the picture in as attractive a fashion as possible. Seeing them as actual objects on the paper makes me reconsider all those extra clotting words. I once had the pleasure of talking to Daniel Clowes. He told me that lettering by hand is sometimes the only way he can know what the word that should come next is.

stories (mine) of 2013
I've left this blog cold and unattended for a long while. A long while in which many things happened and I acquired a taste for the sort of panicked mania that is brought on by working on something with equal amounts of passion and fear.
(More about this one day, maybe. Sharp & Fine put on a show that put me through the wringer and that I loved to pieces. It was called Queen of Knives and adapted from Neil Gaiman's poem of the same name. Pretty pictures HERE.)
So, 2013: the year of frequent passion and terror. And, somehow, also the first year I've ever had more than one story published. I had exactly one more than one--and for someone who finishes a story only rarely due to laziness and frequent distraction, having two come out in one year seems incredibly indulgent--and I am going to savor that fact for a little moment, feel very queenly and pleased with myself, before returning to the world of dance and passions and, hopefully, a bit less fear.
The Manticore, the Mermaid, and Me (in Unnatural Creatures, ed. by Neil Gaiman and Maria Dahvana Headley, April 2013). A story about two young people who are very dear to each other, but who can't quite seem to see the same thing at the same time. Also, a story about a natural history museum, monsters, an overheated summer, and overheated hearts. Indulges my obsessions with rogue taxidermy and awkward transformations.
Because of this story, I have an email thread in which Neil asks whether I have a story he might like and to which I reply, in the wee hours of the morning, by calling Neil and Maria the cat's pajamas, making the unrelated declaration that "I HATE LOVE," and blaming all email typos on a slew of French 75s.
Eating the Pomegranate (Electric Velocipede, December 2013). A story about things that I don't normally write stories about: sisters, strange fixations on appetite, Persephone. Also, a story about the things I'm always writing about: ghosts, disasters, people leaving. The people in this story are mostly unhappy, the kind of people I'd find a drag to be around if they were real, but who somehow became bizarrely inescapable when I made them up. I told myself, very specifically, that I didn't want to write about Persephone (I mean, how annoying is she, with her whiff of piteous manipulation?), but, apparently, I couldn't help myself.
This is what I look like after a year in which I have been very, very excited and equally nervous for a long time (and, it seems, incapable of scheduling a haircut). I think I am trying to look intense. My friend Lauren made a Marat/Sade comment. I have since made friends with my hairbrush again.
Cheers, 2013.

thoughts on bus proximity
When I ride the bus alone, I sometimes wonder whether I am especially neurotic, or whether we are all guilty of fast-talking, interior monologues.

playing badly
When I was a kid, I took piano lessons. I was probably around eight or ten. I don't remember much about them. I don't even remember why I wanted to take them in the first place. My parents were gentle and indulgent when it came to hobbies, and they encouraged my sister and me to try everything that we wanted to, as long as we liked it enough to take it seriously. I studied ballet, gymnastics, and horseback riding. I took lessons in drawing and writing. I read thick books filled with pictures of birds and commandeered my parents' bed as a base from which I could spend hours identifying various versions of the common sparrow.
I was not a musical child. My dad played the piano, so we always had a piano in the house, but he rarely touched it. We listened to music--classical music and oldies--and my mom would sometimes play the guitar and sing (my mom has a lovely voice), but my innate musical talent amounted to just about nothing. I took piano lessons for a little while, failed to become good at making music, failed to care enough to struggle through the discomfort of being bad at something, and stopped.
I used to dislike doing things I was bad at. They made me feel uncomfortable and stupid and conspicuously mortified, like a clown taking a pratfall with a whole neon world blinking in pity. I have always had a fear of looking stupid. It is one of my most annoying faults, the thing that will make me nod my head when I haven't the foggiest idea and sit glum on the sidelines while everyone else slides around in the mud.
I am bad at music. I have no talent or instinct for it. I have the dullest of ears and no sensitivity to the beautiful, mathematical landscapes of rhythm. Consciously remembering a melody is a struggle. I love music, am fascinated and moved and riled up by it, but I am, frankly, terrible at it.
In January, I started taking piano lessons. Once a week, I go to the Community Music Center in the Mission and am bad at playing the piano. It makes me incredibly happy. It is an enormous and alien pleasure to honestly take pleasure in the study of something I'm bad at. I have no real hope of becoming musical; my brain doesn't seem to be the right shape for it and my ideas don't speak music as a native language. When I want to say something, it never occurs to me to hum a tune. But, I love the way it feels to crawl toward minimal comprehension of a subject so enormously wonderful that it gets to stroll beloved through life. It reminds me of learning to read. Here, again, are the weird moments when a mark on a page becomes a recognizable object, then a symbol, then a block of symbols, then a magical, moveable strand of fluency. Here is a reminder that turning a page was once an awkward movement and not an invisible transition.
I get the dual thrills of struggling with the ideas and struggling with the fine motor control that underlie something that I adore, but have absolutely no stake in being good at. No one cares whether I become competent at making music or remain comically confused (except, maybe, my piano teacher, who is pure, delightful, Eastern European fanaticism). I am allowed the happiness of a slow motion plod toward small sparks of understanding, which somehow feel like little anvils falling on my head and bright little birds circling around, singing a stupidly cheerful tune.

The fax machine has been around for many years and nearly every office, and many homes in the USA and Canada, has one. However, over the last few years this industry has been transformed by the introduction of an Internet Fax Service. No longer do you need to be concerned about your fax machine breaking down, being out of paper, or privacy as everything is handled in the cloud.
This article is intended for visitors who are new to this type of service and addresses the following areas:
An Internet Fax Service allows you to send and receive documents electronically without the need for a fax machine on-premise. The only requirements are a high-speed Internet connection and an email account. The service provider will handle all of the sending/receiving for you in the cloud. They have state of the art on-premise servers that are fully maintained by them.
A user will send a fax to you in their normal manner to your assigned number. The documented is directed to the service provider and they convert it into a digital form and then send it to an email account designated by you. It is all handled in the cloud and you simply receive an email with the document attached.
There are typically various options for sending. These can include just dragging a document to a providers icon on your computer, or by using a special portal that you access on your computer or smartphone device. Some providers will have the send option integrated into Microsoft products such as Word, Excel, Outlook etc. (similar to printing a document via the File menu). This makes it very easy and convenient. Once sent the service provider takes care of the delivery from their secure on-premise machines/servers. There is no extra equipment or supplies needed other than your computer.
If you have a document in paper form, simply scan it to your computer and send in the ways described above. Some providers allow the use of your existing fax machine with the addition of a special adaptor they provide you. This adaptor connects between your machine and your Internet connection, converts the output into a digital format and then sends it over your Internet connection.
Anyone can use this type of service, a business or an individual. Most providers do focus on businesses though, with plans typically revolving around number of pages sent/received per month.
No, you do not need any special equipment to use this type of service. You do need a high-speed Internet connection and an email account though at minimum so you can send and receive.
Yes because most service providers include high security encryption. This keeps both incoming and outgoing secure. Many also provide password protected accounts where you can access your storage area.
Most service providers allow you to send many different types of files, including PDF, JPEG, TIFF and the standard Microsoft Office document types. If you have some specific file formats you need to send/receive then we recommend checking with the service provider directly before signing up for service to verify they are supported. This should not be an issue though.
Anyone can. You will be assigned a number to use. Anything sent to that number will be converted into a digital format and sent to the email address you have provided. There will be no difference to the person sending the document, regardless of the technology they use.
Yes, this type of service is very reliable. There are never any busy signals and the document is typically stored in the cloud for a period of time (dependant on provider) so a copy is available if there are any issues.
The benefits with a hosted service are that it is convenient, secure and very low cost. Instead of having to purchase the traditional hardware and dedicate a phone/data line to it, the Internet is used to send and receive.
Costs can vary depending on the type of plan offered by the provider. Some services charge a monthly rate for a certain amount of pages, while others charge per page. Depending on the amount of usage you anticipate, you can choose to pay by the month for a maximum number of pages or per usage.
The following provides some items to consider when selecting a service provider:
The Nextiva solution comes in 3 plan options, as follows. A free trial is available on the Basic plan.
Ringcentral provide fixed monthly rate plans for a given number of pages per month, as follows. Each plan has a free trial option and includes a shared number unless otherwise stated.
GFI are an international company and a great choice if you are faxing internationally as many countries are included in their plans.
Metrofax have similar plans to others. You can change plans as your company needs grow. Each plan includes all their features and free North America based support.
Internet Fax Service is a great way to reduce business costs. This low cost service saves on buying and maintaining hardware equipment, as well as the cost of a dedicated phone line. We provided plan highlights of some popular service providers to help make a comparison with your existing costs. Use the table to the right to find out more information on each of these. For more information on this type of service we recommend taking a look at the related article section below.

Only way for my curl to last with this thing is if I heat it up with my blow dryer. Plus, the curl doesn't even last that long. Shiseido is hands down better than this crappy one.
More reviews by sweetshiningstar
I don't know if this is the eyelash curler I have, or the Pro. I got it sometime in high school, I think, and I'm out of college now. Mine is silver with a while rubber pad that's never needed to be replaced.
This is my first eyelash curler, and I've never had to replace it. I use it every day.
It never pinches or hurts me, it just curls my lashes well, and my eyelashes look great at the end of the day.
I did buy a new one from Elf because everyone was raving about it, and it was just a dollar (the mechanical one). But it pinched my eye! So I went back to this one, and I've never regretted it.
This was the first lash curler i have ever bought. I liked how it came with an extra rubber pads. I found it odd how it curls my right eye properly but not my left eye. For the left eye, it gets my lashes all clumped together and is hard to curl the outer lashes. i find that i have to curl the root to middle to the ends of my lashes. The curl holds longer when i heat it with a blow dryer but i heard it was unhealthy for lashes. I'll probably be giving the shiseido lash curler a try and using the revlon as a back up.
Price: $7.99 CAD(on sale) at shoppers drug mart
I've had this for almost 4 years and I love it! It doesn't pinch my lashes and gives a nice, natural curl. I've bought other eyelash curlers but none compare to this one. I'm very satisfied!
I love this eyelash curler.
I holds the curl, and it doesn't pinch my eyelid, like ones I've used in the past. I have managed to lose a few of these, and tried using others, but I always come back to this one. So whenever I lose this one, I will re-buy. It's a great product.
More reviews by peachstocknw25
Cheap cheap. It didn't even give any curl.
I like this but then again i dont like this . What do i mean ? I like the fact it curls my lashes so well . I HATE the fact that it pinched me sometimes and didnt get my outer lashes :( .
When I first got this eyelash curler I was pretty pumped! It was cheap and worked well. I had trouble fitting all my lashes in though... One day when I was using it broke! I wasn't even pressing that hard!! It pulled out some of my eyelashes when it broke and they are still growing back!! AHH, I do not recomend you get it! One good thing about it though is that it came with extra replacement rubber things :P
This is one of my go to products. My eyelashes are stick straight and therefore I need a lot of help. I have bought this curler countless times. It works for me but I'm not overwhelmed by the results. Sometimes I only get an L shaped curve on my lashes and to avoid this I try to only use this curler to lift the lashes and curl them with a spoon (I know this sounds crazy but it's real). The curl doesn't last that long if I don't apply mascara. This eyelash curler works best when I warm it up with my hair dryer. It's gentle and I've never pinched my eyelid. I wanted to try a fancier one and I got the one from MAC but it turned out to be a total failure for me. I'll buy shu uemura next but this curler is one of those products you can always get back to if everything else fails.
This eyelash curler was so ineffective that it didn't even reach all of my lashes. The design is terrible - it cannot go over my entire eye and only the corner lashes even get a bit of crimp. This is the worse eyelash curler I've ever tried.

If you live in the Ditmars section of Astoria, you're probably familiar with the work of Berch Augustine—whether you know it or not. Many of the local businesses have hired him at some time or other to paint their windows or walls. He's quite prolific, and lately I've been snapping shots of his painting as I've run across it. This mural, done for 36th Street Animal Clinic just off Ditmars, had a warm glow to it just before sunset, which complimented the colors of the lettering. You can read more about Mr. Augustine on Nancy Ruhling's "Astoria Characters" blog.

Joe Drozda and Bob Bley are writing the third edition of The Tailgater's Handbook which will be published in 2014. Drozda is considered the "Father of American Tailgating" by many including The Wall Street Journal. Drozda and Bley both grew up in NW Indiana and attended Indiana University together.

Of course she and her husband's absence will leave an empty feeling in your gathering. Worse yet, their absence will leave a couple of empty spots on your buffet table. Now things aren't so perfect, and it's too late to prepare something else to fill the void, right?
Not to worry. Here are some easy quick ideas that can fill the holes in your buffet table. Best of all, you can make a quick trip to the market and buy these items, put them out and people will eat and enjoy them. And your buffet won't miss a beat, or "hut" and no one is going to throw a penalty flag.
My first suggestion is Johnsonville® Summer Sausage. We put out slices of this spicy treat at a huge Christmas party buffet that had Turkey, Ham, cakes, cookies, candy, wings and more. It was funny. Everyone ate the sausage first; even the health nuts that were present were seen making numerous trips to the sausage. Later we put a small bowl of FRENCH'S® Spicy Brown Mustard out and the group ate three long rolls of the sausage and a half bottle of the mustard. As cousin Eddie would say, "It was gooood!"
Another gap-filler is a plate of great cheeses. Try sliced Parmesan pieces from a wedge. This cheese, as a snack, has a powerful taste and will have everyone asking, "What kind of cheese is this?"
Lastly, have a silver/pewter bowl of salted Cashews. This gourmet nut will please. Buy two big sacks of these at the bulk food aisle so that you have enough to refill the bowl, many times.
Remember, it's never too late to fill a void in the buffet line with something the guests will enjoy.

Bruins condemn racist tweets about P.K. Subban
|05.02.14 at 1:19 pm ET
WILMINGTON — The Bruins issued a statement Friday regarding the racist tweets that were sent out by some fans following P.K. Subban's game-winning goal in double overtime in Game 1 of the second round.
It's the second time Bruins fans have been accused of racism in recent years, as Joel Ward was the victim of hateful tweets after he had the overtime game-winner in Game 7 of the first round in 2012 against the Bruins.
"The racist, classless views expressed by an ignorant group of individuals following Thursday's game via digital media are in no way a reflection of anyone associated with the Bruins organization," Cam Neely said in Friday's statement.
The idea that the people who used racist language regarding Subban are Bruins fans might be a bit of a stretch. The team's regular-season co-leader in goals, Jarome Iginla, is black, while Subban's younger brother, Malcolm Subban, was a first-round pick of the B's in 2012.
"Exactly," Milan Lucic said. "Jarome is here and he's been treated with nothing but respect in Boston since he's been here. All the Celtics and Patriots and Red Sox and all those players that have been here have been treated with nothing but respect. If you're going to make bad comments, stick to hockey comments, not to stuff that crosses the line."
Lucic himself has dealt with some unnecessary hatred on the part of hockey fans. His church in Burnaby, British Columbia, was vandalized in 2012 by Canucks fans.
Claude Julien said he's never heard racism on any benches or from any fans during games.
"There's a lot of good fans out there, and that's the sad part about it," Julien said. "Your good fans get tarnished because of a couple of comments like that who don't belong in that same group.'

I have known Greg Sketch, former Boone County engineer/Public Works director, for many years. Sketch is one of the most forthright and honest individuals that I know.

Overly generous with the taxpayer's dollar
09/11/13 at 6:50am by Letters Editor | Comments
We now learn that Boone County officials are playing Santa Claus with the money of our citizens ("Investigation uncovers a different kind of corruption," Sept. 9). It sure is easy for them to be conspicuously generous when using taxpayer dollars. If Greg Sketch and his crew wanted to buy turkeys for impoverished families, they should […]

Thank you for your front page coverage Monday regarding efforts of our local shelters to significantly decrease euthanasia rates.

Would groups pick up litter if they got no compensation?
06/25/13 at 11:55am by Letters Editor | Comments
There have been many letters about the people who pick up trash. They talk about how bad the litter is in Boone County. I agree with them and I do think people should stop littering. I wonder if these same groups would pick up the trash along the roadways if they were not getting paid […]

According to the 2010 census, of the 4.3 million people in Kentucky, 50.8 eprcent are women. Last week Mitch McConnell, Rand Paul and Thomas Massie sent a message to women in the entire country that conservative, obstructionist policy ideals are far more important than passing common sense legislation to protect 50.8 percent of their constituents.

Regarding "CVG Invites comment on master plan" (Dec. 13): I travel to Dayton, Columbus or Indianapolis when I fly.

Definitely on a roll with these at the moment.
What's this, a BWR a day after I posted the previous one? Madness.
Long outline is long.
It has taken me over a year, but we are finally here, at the finale of Season One!
I'm also writing a fair bit more than back when I started. >.<
Bit text heavy, but details.
Get ready for another not so small outline, as this segment returns! What's that, two done within a month? Madness.
Looks like offering y'all a free slap motivated me enough… Beast Wars Retrospective finally returns!
Again, if any of you followed me due to this little segment, then I can only apologise for being so crap and lazy at posting it.
Also, it appears I really need to be more succinct with my episode outlines…

The continuing theme of the past four days has been an inability of NBA playoff teams to close games out. Careless with huge leads All Star players take bad shots, over dribble and turn the ball over. Yesterday it was the Los Angeles Clippers. Today it was the Brooklyn Nets who faced an elimination game in Miami and for the most part played with toughness and grit even as they faced an aggressive Dwayne Wade. It was Wade's most explosive performance of the playoffs. By halftime of game 5 he had already scored on post ups, turnarounds, layups, and was the primary option for Miami. They needed every one of the 20 points he scored in the first half. The Heat struggled from the three point line and most of their two point shots were contested so credit the Nets for their defensive energy. They never allowed the Heat a sustained run and were able to stay close in the first half. Their second quarter unit was particularly efficient pushing the pace and driving the ball with Mizra Teletovich attacking the rim. The Nets went on a 8-0 run to end the first half and were up by 7.
As expected the Heat came out of the locker room like someone wanted to burn their house down. They quickly erased the halftime lead. Hardly fazed, the Nets withstood the huge surge of energy and built a double digit lead as Lebron hardly resembled the player who scored 49 points. Wade kept at it and Bosh drained threes. But the second half was all about Joe Johnson. He carried the Nets offense in the third quarter. And in the 4th a 7-0 run capped off by a Joe runner in the lane and a Paul Pierce three gave the Nets a 9 point lead. Joe was spectacular hitting one shot after another over Lebron James but in the last two minutes the Heat's defense collapsed and Joe had no space to maneuver. The Heat went on a 13-3 run capped by the ageless Ray Allen who made a corner three to give the Heat their first lead of the quarter with thirty seconds left. The Nets last chance to extend the series fell flat when Joe Johnson's dribble was predictably interrupted by Ray Allen and then Lebron James. He couldn't get a shot off. Heat 96 Nets 94. The Heat celebrated wildly (really why?) but this sobering fact is true: in the past four days 5 teams (Thunder, Wizards, Nets, Clippers and Nets) have choked away victories. Goodbye Brooklyn. This is what $100+ million dollars in salary, $70+ million dollars in luxury taxes gets you: summer vacation beginning in mid May. The Heat will rest before their fourth consecutive Eastern Conference Final begins.
Goodbye Paul Pierce? Paul Pierce, a free agent, will take time to decide about his future and another year in the NBA. The Paul Pierce book has already been written. He has paid his dues, put in his time, willed his teams to victories, competed like no other, won a title. The 1997 draft pick out of Kansas, the small forward who began turning heads when he was paired with Antoine Walker and then with Kevin Garnett and Ray Allen has extracted every ounce of talent out of his body. The only thing left is for him to leave when he wants to leave. "I think I still have something in the tank", he said postgame, realizing he is far from the player of 6 years ago who fell down, got up and willed his Celtics to a title against the Lakers. At this point in his career desire is what matters most.
San Antonio 104 Portland 82: The Blazers were no match for the Spurs, not in game one, not in game two, not in game three. In game 5, as in most of the games in this series- game 4 being the one exception- the Blazers didn't have enough weapons or enough defense. They kept it close in the first quarter of their elimination game but when the Blazers go to their bench all bets are off. The Spurs increased the lead to double digits but a pall hung over the arena as Tony Parker suffered a hamstring injury. But against the Blazers Parker wasn't necessary. Paddy Mills had filled in for him all year long and was an adequate replacement.
LaMarcus Aldridge kept the Blazers in the game in the first half and they trailed by 7. But the Blazers couldn't keep up. They were on the wrong side of a 8-0 run to start the third and were outscored 26-19 in the quarter. Their suspect defense and inefficient offense was ripe for the Spurs to establish a double digit lead even as Parker never came back. The Spurs, on a mission this year to atone for the worst loss in their franchise history, are right on schedule. They win the series in 5. Next stop Western Conference Finals. Next stop for Blazers: bench help.

We are happy about Fun Day for the children, to be held June 18 at First Baptist Church and surrounding grounds. It is sponsored by the mayor and town board of Potts Camp. (Free food and drinks). The little train Obie will be there for the children to ride free of charge.
Memories and History
Many years have passed since the Potts Camp Class of 1936 met for their 50th class reunion at Linda's Country Kitchen in the Lake Center area. Attending were Lurline Cook, Jeff Willard Overton, T.M. Stone, Dale Potts Hollingsworth, Fred Boren, Eugenia Gray, Juanita U. Jones and C.B. Bennett. Others who attended were Effie Boren, Annie Ruth Stone, C.B. Bennett's wife and Lurline Cook's husband. Other classmates not attending were Harl and Carl White (twins) Fielder Forester, Russell (Speck) Boren and Mary Elizabeth Collier.
T.M. Stone, class president, welcomed the class. Juanita Jones, editor of the "Windy Waves," a Potts Camp School newspaper, brought one to each of us. Colors were red and white.
After a prayer by Fred Boren, a minister, each member stood and told something that had happened to them the last 50 years. Veterans who served in World War II were Jeff Overton, who received two Purple Hearts, and T.M. Stone. We held hands and sang "God Bless America." Fred Boren said a closing prayer, and we enjoyed lunch. One of our classmates, Fielder Forester, was captured during the war. His family did not know if he was alive until the war was over.
On Sunday morning, those who attended church services at Potts Camp United Methodist Church were invited to dinner in New Albany by T.M. and Annie Ruth Stone.
Students honored at awards ceremony at Southern Miss
By MARTHA HARDY
Hello friends. This week I have more news about graduates, an awards ceremony and children's programs.
Sue Rowland recently entertained her Sunday School class with a party at her home. Those in attendance were Anna and Valerie Kitchens, Megan Cheetwood, Alexis Mayo and Ben Rowland. The children enjoyed a movie, The Ten Commandants.
Sue and Bill were also busy attending the programs and graduations of the grandchildren. Jayne Rowland graduated from kindergarten at Mary Reid at Potts Camp.
Daniel Smothers of Olive Branch will be going into middle school this fall
Also Christopher Rowland was in a program at Mary Reid on Tuesday of that week and Ben Rowland on Tuesday night. Sue managed to do all this in spite of the fact she was suffering from cold or allergy symptoms. Those of us who are fortunate enough to have grands love to watch the accomplishments of same.
Peggy Whiteside, former resident of Blythe, has a granddaughter who is someone to be proud of. Her name is Tiffany Richelle Coleman, who graduated from North Pontotoc. She was the valedictorian in a class of 118 students. Tiffany's picture, along with all the school outstanding students in this area, was in the Tupelo daily newspaper on Sunday, June 5. She is a beautiful and very talented young lady as the paper listed a number of her accomplishments
Now to the award ceremony. Three bright young men from West Union, Owen Jordan, Jacob Shirley and my own grand/adopted son, Austin Glen Hardy, were the honorees at an awards ceremony at the University of Southern Mississippi at Hattiesburg June 5.
These seventh grade students were invited by Duke University, Durham, N..C to take the ACT or SAT as a part of Duke's Talent Search program. The grade the boys made was impressive. Way to go, you guys. We are proud of you all.
However, I am certain there are plenty of young people who would have done equally as well. Some of them did not take the test or perhaps they are just the type who do not test well.
I had a very enjoyable telephone conversation last week with a sweet friend, who was the teacher of my son, Norman Hardy, when he was in second grade.
Mrs. Mary Barber called to tell me how much she has been enjoying my write-up in the paper and that she saw the picture of my Austin when the Gazette first printed the news about the guys from West Union receiving state recognition.
She said she thought Austin looks a lot like his uncle Norman. She remembered incidents that I had forgotten, such as Norman gave her some of the mint I had growing in my yard.
Norman was 6 years old when Mrs. Barber taught him and he is now 44. That is a remarkable memory from such a long time ago.
My son Chuck came down from Memphis to go with us to the award ceremony, and since we were so close to the coast, we drove on down and spent the night in Biloxi in order for Austin and his friend to have fun playing in the ocean. However, I think they liked the pool at the hotel better
Well that's all folks. Remember, call me even if you do not have any news. I love to chat with old friends, new friends, and even those I have not yet made friends with.
My land line is 988-3685 and cell is 316-8963. If you do not have area calling, I will call you back as I will never be able to use up all my free minutes.
So until next time remember – be of good cheer; God is in the plan.
