Sie eroberte ihr Heimatland, als sie den Titel Miss Blonde Ukraine verliehen bekam. Dadurch war sie sehr schnell in Paris und New York begehrt.
Monroe sieht sich selbst als natürliche Nachfolgerin einer der führenden Ikonen des 20. Jahrhunderts. Dafür muß man sehr selbstbewußt sein und die Erwartungen auch erfüllen. Monroe erfüllt beides. Wenn diese 183cm Schönheit ihre High Heels anzieht dominiert sie alle Männer um sie herum. So mag sie es am liebsten. Wie Marilyn glaubt sie, daß Diamanten die besten Freunde einer Frau sind.
Was Marilyn sagte gilt auch für Monroe."Unter dem Make-Up und hinter dem Lächeln bin ich nur ein Mädchen,was sich nach der Welt sehnt." Geld und der Champagner Lebensstil ist das, wonach sie sich sehnt. Der Weg dahin wurde ihr von Marilyn gezeigt. "Sex ist ein Teil der Natur. Ich stimme der Natur zu."

Incredibly sexy girl with a wonderful body and face. Just too bad it's sooo difficult to get a girlfriend... mission: impossible anyone?

RE: Perfect Butt Awards Pete, thanks for the Perfect Butt entries. I will check them out and give you my opinion. We should all be commenting regularly on these beautiful girls' butts. The least we can do to express our appreciation for their showing their bare butts to us! Love Monroe's butt. Shots 14-17 are extraordinary with 15 and 17 the best. Here is my entry for Perfect Butt: http://www.hegre-art.com/galleries/show/820?back=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.hegre-art.com%2Fmodels%23countries%255B%255D%3D7%26all-hairs%3D1%26all-tits%3D1%26all-tags%3D1%26commit%3DSearch%26action%3Dshow%26id%3D91#image=34 Happy to contribute my entry for Top Butt Awards: my favorite model Mona in my favorite photo of her. Also feel free to comment on my comment on the "Mona in Bed" series from which this photo comes.

RE: Perfect Butt Awards Pete: Thanks for the butt tips! Yanna's butt is indeed extraordinary. Love the way image 40 is all butt.
|Mark Vereinigte Staaten
Monroe Perfect in her heels butt naked! What a great ass!
|Roger Vereinigte Staaten
RE: Monroe Butt naked indeed! Shots 14-17 are fantastic with 15 my favorite. Monroe really has an ass! Mark you are a fellow appreciator of the female nude, and I have always enjoyed your intelligent well thought-out comments. I would love to hear your reflections on my comment on my favorite model Mona "Mona in Bed" shot #34.
|Joe Niederlande
Monroe into interracial Monroe is one of the best looking models on this site. I would pay double membership fee to see her do some interracial sets with Mike or some other real dark black men. Wow...
|Dan Vereinigte Staaten
Angelic Monroe is one of the most beautiful models i've seen on the site. Her amazing body and beautiful face are simply magnetic. It would be great to see her in more of Peter's work.
|wheeler Vereinigte Staaten
top model, indeed!

Hegre-Art Herald Headline: Top Model Shows Cunt and Anus! Top Model Monroe shows all in another stunning fully nude not-a-stich-on series! Unlike some too proud top models, Monroe is by shot #6 already spreading her legs widely to show all of her glorious full cunt lips! Butt lovers, itching for her to turn over and show those buns, are also richly rewarded with straight-on looks of her butt, ass-crack and anus! (With lovely cunt lips peeking in from below!) Just when you thought it couldn't get any better than shot 42, shot #46 knocks your socks off! Thank you Monroe!

Monroe, you are simply gorgeous. Your eyes penetrate the camera. And your sexy elegant body is so exciting/arousing to witness. As as result I feel my yearning and wanting. Thanks for being so open and sharing yourself in this intimate with us. I look forward to seeing more of you, your eyes and incredible presence.

|Laurie Vereinigtes Königreich
Dear Mr Hegre I swear that your decision to photograph this deliciously sexual act was flawed. I find the images erotic but repetitive, moving pictures would have captured all the nuanced finesse of her self pleasuring, provoking a profoundly deeper arousal for the voyeur...
|JJ Vereinigtes Königreich
Hmmm Has anyone seen my watch
|wheeler Vereinigte Staaten
Personally... I can do without the cancer stick. But, Monroe is lovely, as always!
|Nice girl... Deutschland
Monroe is smoking... what about inserting the cigarette in the pussy for a short moment?
|Steve Vereinigte Staaten
The smoking is disgusting.
|J. L. Kanada
Monroe Smoking Hot Cigarettes are never sexy.
|Canchahel Frankreich
Bad sort.
|KOMET Vereinigte Staaten
Monroe In a word: DULL.
|stever Vereinigtes Königreich
opportunity missed There's some nice bent over poses there, but no way were they exploited enough in terms of closer shots or getting her to really stick that ass up into the air. It could have been as ass (and pussy) lovers delight.
|kamaloka Japan
RE: Photo number 58 mr hegre for every girl you have dont forget to expose their lovely and sweet ass like monroe did !! i am asshole lover !
|Brandon Vereinigte Staaten
Monroe is super HOT but i agree with the other comment the cancer stick totally kills it.

So sexy! That is my kind of girl. Tall, blonde and dangerous! I love ya Monroe!
|Voyeur Vereinigte Staaten
Can't think of a better turn off than a cigarette.

RE: opportunity missed If you want a nice close up, download photo number 58 in XXXXXL format and zoom in!
|Mark Vereinigte Staaten
Monroe is tall and beautiful. Love her nude in the heels. Lose the cigarette, not a fan of seeing a model smoking, just concentrate on their beauty.
|michael Vereinigte Staaten
loose the shoes
|hole in one Singapur
monroe don't associate smoking with pure beauty.
|wheeler Vereinigte Staaten
indicative of Marilyn herself! lovely!
|stever Vereinigtes Königreich
yum There's just something about this set, and the model, that makes it 'work' for me. So sexy, yet barely a hint of a pussy, and so naughty by means of the time honoured means of removing a sexy dress. I just hope there's a follow up set where she is bending over that settee or talking a close look at one of her toe nails! Nice one.
|Mark Vereinigte Staaten
RE: Photo number 47 Absolutely tremendous! This is such a great nude of Monroe. Standing there in all her beautiful statuesque glory after the dress hits the floor. She is one of my new favorites. I would love to see a set of Monroe standing there totally nude wearing only a pair of killer black pointy-toed stiletto pumps.
|Roger Vereinigte Staaten

Monroe I love Monroe nude in the heels. It is great because she is tall and has great length. She looks beautiful and statuesque. Next time do a shoot of her butt naked in a pair of kick-ass black pointy-toed stiletto pumps!
|halopalm Taiwan, Chinesische Provinz
Worthwhile Best set of August 2011. Monroe has unforgettable stunning body which is worthy to be shot more & more. Of course, I'm glad to pay more member fee for this Miss blonde Ukraine.
|Sam C Vereinigte Staaten
To foul things up royally... To err is human, says the ancient wisdom, but to foul things up royally requires a computer. Well, Petter certainly fouled things up royally in images 41 and forward in this otherwise exciting gallery. Why did he have to put the tree limb exactly to obstruct the best part of the pictures???
|wheeler Vereinigte Staaten
sensational indeed! do we get to see the girl in the background on pic #26?lol

monroe My comment was posted earlier, it wasn't blank. I said; Monroe has an ugly mouth, and very poor eyes. There is no comparison in total beauty with Erica F from the previous year.

Sculptured Nude A fine sculptured nude as if made of soft white marble. A wonderful series expressing the art of the female nude. Love the total nudity. Very appropriate. Love photos 19 and 20. Hegre you have found another beautiful girl: exquisite ice-beauty face, lovely slender curves and a most fine round butt. Well done!
|Mark Vereinigte Staaten
Monroe A outstanding introduction to beautiful Monroe. A complete nude study is the perfect and best way to introduce a new model. Monroe has a long, sculpted and defined body that is beautiful to study nude. Love the first photo with the confident and kick ass pose with her hands confidently on her hips proudly showing herself off nude. Excellent set. Look forward to seeing more of Monroe. Would love to see her completely nude in a pair of killer black pointy toed stiletto pumps!
|Femjoy Fan Vereinigte Staaten
Monroe Part 2 With Monroe being six feet tall, Hegre has to do a set of her totally nude wearing only a killer pair of pumps! You talk about nude art at its finest!

another lovely addition! hope we get a better view of her rear end next time! :)
|Pete Vereinigtes Königreich
Nymph When I saw the initial picture of Monroe I thought we had found another nymph in the Yanna, Antonina, Thea, Marlene or Olga style but not so. Monroe is very attractive but her height definately precludes her as a nymph. Come on Petter I know you can do it, find another superstar in the nymph category.
|JBo Australien
I'm speechless...... She is so beautiful.....

|Tessa Vereinigtes Königreich
I'm attracted I didn't ever think that I would find myself saying this but I was fascinated watching Monroe. If I am honest yes I do think she is attractive and I wonder what it would be like to get physical with her. So there, I have said it and if that makes me a bit kinky maybe that is the truth of it. This is something I am going to have to think hard about.
|Willis Vereinigte Staaten
When you see those shots of Monroe on the window ledge yes they do remind me of my cat. She has the same slinky way of moving. Sensuous and sort of lazy looking at the same time. It's great to have that kind of animal appeal that she has got.
|Zarni Vereinigte Staaten
I can't wait to see Monroe get her massage :D
|Daisuke Japan
Send me a letter Hello Monroe. I want to tell you that you are wonderful. I would like it very much when you send me a letter some time. Soon as I saw you I know that you are the girl I want to be with.
|Declan Irland
Monroe is lovely there's no doubting it. One thing though which is just my opinion. She spends a lot of time looking straight into the camera. What I like best is when it seems like we are getting views of the girl when she does not know she can be seen. I like to watch them when they think they cannot be seen what they are doing. Can we have more like that please?
|Marlon Vereinigte Staaten
Background music Don't know why but for some reason I got to thinking that the best background music for this would have been a solo sax. That always makes me think of longing for someone. Just what is the best kind of music to go with films like this?
|wheeler Vereinigte Staaten
RE: Background music I'm too distracted by the visuals to notice the music anyway!
|FresnoMikey Vereinigte Staaten
Labia Her labia needed massage by first her, then an aggressive, yet tender, masseuse who is hot and nude too. Rub that bare pussy!

monroe I do not like back lighting.You cannot see the model. Why camera men keep using it I will never understand. So why pay a model a lot of money when you cannot see her.
|Peter Schweiz
Just beautiful She is just beautiful
|hakeem Thailand
more films Monroe!, pls have more films!
|Thirsty Vereinigte Staaten
Monroe The backlight brings up the biggest subject ever. I much prefer it when I sense a woman is expressing herself. When art takes priority above the person, then it fails. I'm not seeing Monroe speak for herself through her movement. This is all directed and contrived. Of course its beautiful, but it doesn't inspire me. Monroe is a full person, and I want to see that.
|fastoso Italien
|Wolfgang Deutschland
Turned on Great ending. I enjoy the way that she has been turned on by her massage.
|Verne Vereinigte Staaten
In the room I love the way you smile at the camera Monroe. You have a way of making me feel I am in the room with you.
|Tim Vereinigtes Königreich
Re: In the room 'm with Verne on this one. I like it when the model looks at the camera because it is just like she is looking at me so I feel involved.
|Terry Vereinigtes Königreich
Re: Re: In the room I do not think you can generalise. It depends on what turns you on. Personally I do not like it when the model smiles at the camera etc. because it makes it seem artificial somehow. I like to think that I am looking on unobserved. I guess that make me a Peeping Tom. That's fine with me.
|Marianne Niederlande
Reason? Is there a reason why the masseuse is blurred? I like to see the woman giving the massage as well the one receiving it.
|wheeler Vereinigte Staaten
RE: Reason? most likely because she doesnt want to be seen
|wheeler Vereinigte Staaten
love how monroe beckoned to us at the end! more to come? a shower, perhaps?
|MojoMa_55 Schweiz
Monroe Wanting More? It seems that Monroe wanted more than she got from this massage. Like most viewers, i suspect!.

The runway was a wooden boardwalk snaking the length of the massive Grand Palais, over a layer if smoking volcanic ash and rock (dry ice, silly, not real molten rock - but it did look very convincing). The walls were decorated with the skeletal outlines of wintery trees. The scene set for the Chanel Winter 2011 collection was dark and bleak and forbidding.
Was it a comment on the times we live in? It was hard not to draw a parallel between the lugubrious setting and the daily headlines of political upheaval and economic downturn.
Just as we were all getting a tad depressed (a Chanel show is where we come to escape after all), there was a light. At either end of the vast space, a drawbridge with the huge double C logo was lowered to reveal a bright shining light from which the models emerged.
First impressions were that they were dressed for battle: rounded shoulders and envelopping layers, the storm cloud colour palette and sturdy flat shoes all alluded to a situation where comfort and protection were paramount.
A lean four pocket jacket in black and white Chanel tweed was layered over a black blazer and wide mannish pants tucked into ribbed legwarmers scrunched around the ankle above mannish brorgues. A cropped bottle green jacket was similarly layered over a tailored black jacket that acted almost like a transition piece between the feminine upper body and mannish pant below.
A skinny brocade legging looked distressed from a distance (particularly as it was tucked into flat boots) but on closer examination was actually brocade and had more of a dandy flare, especially as it was styled with a thigh length tweedy cape.
The tough dandy theme continued as an undercurrent bubbling through the gritty theme with frill collared shirts under broad lapelled jackets and trousers with rolled satin cuffs. It's because of bold statements like these that Chanel manages to work its fashion alchemy while lesser brands struggle to survive.
Karl Lagerfeld's re-working of the smoking jacket in embroidered wool with its wide pant over a low heeled shoe was instantly covetable. The easy wool and lace all-in-ones were glamorous siren suits for our time. And the evening wear caught images of the leaves from those bare trees on the organza bibs of long demure dresses.
Oh and by the way, get ready for a run on the new chunky chain handled bags.
Only Karl could make a fabulous fashion statement out of a crisis.

Interview with an Entrepreneur
If you've ever wanted to move on from your nine to five job, and chase the dream of starting your own business, there's some great motivation in an article from senior writer Catherine Clifford at Entrepreneur.com. She recently interviewed John Schnatter, the founder and CEO of global pizza giant Papa John's about how he got started, the best ways to motivate employees, and what it takes to create a culture of entrepreneurship.
Happy Fourth of July
The stars on the original American flag were in a circle so all the colonies would appear equal.
Benjamin Franklin proposed the turkey as the national bird, but was overruled by John Adams and Thomas Jefferson who pushed for the bald eagle.
The first official Fourth of July party was held at the White House in 1801.
Firecrackers were a big part of the early Independence Day celebrations. The horses were not amused.
July 4th only became a national holiday in 1941.
Almost 90% of American homes have an outdoor grill.
Over 150 million hot dogs are consumed on July 4th alone.
About 700 million pounds of chicken are purchased in the week leading up to the holiday.
July 4th is the biggest beer-selling holiday of the year.
Americans spend about $11 million on popsicles to enjoy during the celebration.
Approximately 41 million Americans will spend the holiday at other people's homes.
The US imports about $3.6 million of American flags each year, most from China.
One out of eight signers of the Declaration of Independence went to Harvard.
The total population of the United States in 1776 was about 2.5 million.
There are more than 14,000 fireworks displays across the country every July 4th.
Global Trends in Human Capital
The global consulting firm, Deloitte recently published a comprehensive study entitled, Global Human Capital Trends 2014: Engaging the 21st Century Workforce that, "…reveals the findings of a global survey of more than 2,500 business and HR leaders from 90+ countries – one of the largest talent management surveys of its kind. The survey results paint a clear picture of the challenges and opportunities organizations face in cultivating the talent needed to grow."
The information provided by Deloitte is broken down into easily useable sections including:
Relative urgency of human capital trends
Readiness for human capital trends
Top 5 human capital trends
Capability gap by human capital trend
Capability gap drill down
Respondent demographics
Users can check out the demographic profile of the companies that participated in the survey, and leverage the information to evaluate and plan within their own businesses. As an organization dedicated to the personal and professional growth of its members, the Jaycees are committed to learning and understanding the latest trends to assist in this personal development.
As you check out the wealth of information that Deloitte included in its report, do not miss the Top 10 Findings – a breakdown of the key survey results, with additional analysis by the survey authors. For example, here is Finding 1: Leadership, retention, HR skills, and talent acquisition are the top global trends in perceived urgency. These sound very similar to the skills an individual can learn through the Jaycee trainings and chapter resources.
We would like to hear your thoughts on the future. Share on our Twitter and Facebook pages what you think will be the most critical skills for young professionals as they enter an increasingly complex workforce.
What Does Your Workspace Clutter Say About You?
Every office has one: the guy or gal that always seems to be just a step or two behind, frazzled, messy and has a workspace that's cluttered. This co-worker could be producing the most amazing work and still, their reputation is going to remain as the messy, unorganized peer. Is that person lacking organizational skills?
If your desktop hasn't seen the light of day in a while, you might want to consider improving your organizational skills – not only for your own sanity, but to start doing damage control on your poor office reputation. Getting started is the hardest part and this is where the seasoned vets at the Jaycees come in.
First, you need to physically organize your space. Every paper on your desk should have a home, whether that home is a folder, filing cabinet or outbox. Have any Post-it notes that have lost relevance long ago? Trash 'em. Any crumbs or coffee cup rings on your workspace? Clean it ASAP. Once these tasks are complete, it will be a little easier to think.
Next, it's necessary to get to the root of the problem: why are you so darn messy? Are you lacking in time management skills? If this is the case, be sure to allocate yourself just a few minutes every day to help you keep a clean space.
Finally, it's time to delve into your digital disorder. If you haven't been diligently deleting unimportant interoffice emails (ahem, reply alls) or work-related items that are no longer important, it is time to clear that clutter as well. This will help cut down on time when you actually need to find something in your inbox. And this is where you can get the extra time you need to organize daily! Funny how things work, right?
Just remember that you are not decluttering just because it isn't easy on the eyes. Improving your organizational skills will undoubtedly help you in the workplace AND it will give your co-workers and boss a much better impression (hello, promotion!). Do you have any organizational tips of your own? Visit our Facebook or Twitter pages and let us know!
Improving Leadership Skills through Education
As members of a professional organization like the Jaycees, we tend to cultivate different skills through our social interactions with each other and in the workplace. However, is there a certain point we reach that we can no longer just count on these interactions to improve our skills? While we one never stops improving, one of the most effective ways to improve leadership skills is through education.
What is your leadership style? The best way to start improving your leadership skills is to understand the best way for you to lead. There are many quizzes out there that can help evaluate your dominant skills and determine how they help or hinder your leadership abilities. (Educate yourself here to find out the areas in which you need assistance.)
Learn more about communication. We don't doubt that most Jaycee members are able to effectively communicate with one another, but how do you fare on providing one-on-one communication? Are you able to take nonverbal cues from peers/coworkers/team members that could influence your effectiveness as a leader? Communication is key when it comes to becoming a better leader so make sure that you are aware of what is required of you.
Be motivating. How do great leaders get their team to spring into action? Motivational leadership, that's how! Check out some great tips to help yourself learn a little more about how to inspire those you lead here.
Consider continuing education. If you are interested in making a career out of being a great leader, perhaps you should consider furthering your education, With an additional bachelor's degree or a master's degree, one can become a ninja-level leader.
One great thing about being a member of the Jaycees is that we never stop learning, whether we simply listen and learn from our peers or we take the time to fine-tune the skills that we wish to improve. If you are interested in learning more about becoming a Jaycee, contact us today!
Building Blocks: How Large Does Your Network Need to Be?
You've heard it before and you'll hear it again – "It's not what you know, it's who you know." Of course, your network can't make up for lack of knowledge or capability, but they can help get you an interview when you might otherwise not. While building a network, it's important to keep in mind that it's the quality of the connections you make that matter – not the quantity.Your network should and will continue to grow as long as it is beneficial to you – however, handing out business cards at any chance you get will earn you no favors down the road. Here are some simple guidelines to follow to keep increasing your network with quality industry professionals:
Do something nice for someone in your network at least once a week. Yup, being nice is a way to increase your network. But how do you grow your network if you focus on the people that you already know, you ask? It's simple! People talk and if you do enough selfless acts (we're not talking moving mountains here – more like bringing in donuts, passing along a job opportunity to someone that may be a fit, exceeding expectations on deadlines, etc.) for others, it will become apparent and those people will remember you when speaking with others in their network. Do unto others, right?
Make an effort to meet new people in your industry at least once a month. Again, you're hearing us right – just once a month. It could be as simple as attending your local Jaycee chapter meetings, a business-women networking event, an entrepreneur meetup group or more. Not only does this give you the opportunity to enjoy after-hours time with your peers, you also are getting your name and face out there while enjoying a nice night out.
Maintain existing relationships. Ok, so this final bit of advice is a mixture of the first two but important nonetheless. Making contacts is important, but it's really just the tip of the iceberg. Cultivating those relationships will show that you are invested in them, giving you the benefit of the doubt when an opportunity arises. Remember that it is the tortoise that wins the race, not the hare.
Networking is all about building relationships not increasing the amount of connections you have on LinkedIn. Would you honestly put yourself out there of an industry professional that you know nothing about other than their business card credentials? Be in the forefront of everyone's mind for the right reasons. Not a member of the Jaycees? You're missing out on a great opportunity to create some meaningful networking connections! Visit our website to find out more about our organization and how to join.
The Jaycees Through the Years: Charles Lindbergh
Over the ninety-three years of the United States Junior Chamber – or the Jaycees – has been an organization, we've seen some very bright and famous names become members of our organization. Did you know that before he was the first person in history to travel on a solo flight across the Atlantic Ocean he became a member of the Jaycees? Together, the Jaycees and Charles Lindbergh helped make history.
Pre-Jaycees, Charles Lindbergh attended engineering school at the University of Wisconsin – that is before he dropped out to learn how to fly! And boy, are we lucky he did. After joining the Jaycees, Lindbergh graduated from Nebraska Aircraft Corporation in 1925 at the top of his class. No surprises there!
With the Jaycees' national project focusing on the development of aviation, it was only a natural pairing for Lindbergh and our professional networking organization to work together to help improve how we are using flight to the country's advantage. Before the flight from New York to Paris, Lindbergh and other Jaycee members collaborated to develop what we now know as our current mail system: airmail.
After that, the rest is history (no pun intended). Lindbergh wowed the world when he achieved ultimate fame by completing the first trans-Atlantic solo flight. He eventually settled down, married and had a family. Following a long period of war, drama and family tragedies, the Lindberghs finally found solace in travel and permanently took up residence in Maui, HI until his death in 1974.
Not only did Charles Lindbergh do so much to increase recognition for the United States Junior Chamber, he also was a pioneer in aviation and many of the luxuries we know today would not be possible without his knowledge.

Exploring the U.N. Millennium Development Goals: Part One
The United States Junior Chamber has adopted the U.N. Millennium Development Goals as our public policy platform. The Millennium Development Goals – or MDGs – are eight ambitious goals set by the United Nations to address some of the most pressing needs here in the United States and also around the world. The US Junior Chamber and our state and local organizations are doing our part to help the U.N. achieve the following goals:
Ending poverty and hunger
Universal education
Gender equality
Child health
Maternal health
Combat HIV/AIDS and other diseases
Environmental sustainability
Global partnership
Why exactly did the Jaycees choose to support the U.N.'s MDGs? The Jaycee Creed aligns specifically with what the United Nations is trying to accomplish worldwide, specifically, "…that Service to Humanity is the Best Work of Life!" We are happy and proud to be a part of the most successful global anti-poverty push in history.
With two more years to achieve the lofty goals set, there is still work to be done. While many Millennium Development Goals have or will be met by the 2015 deadline, progress in many areas is still short. Join the United Nations in their efforts by participating in events with your local Junior Chambers chapter. Tune in next week for details on how you can help!
Why "Real Talk" is Still Important in an E-Based World
Texting, emailing and social media – oh my! If you are like one of the billions of people that are online every day, whether for business or personal use, you have probably grown accustomed to meeting, conversing and doing business electronically. While the young professionals at the Iowa Junior Chamber concede that conducting business online makes life easier, there is no electronic replica of face time (no, not Facetime on your Mac) with your customers, colleagues and clients. What are the benefits of actually attending a meeting in-person rather than one over Skype or email?
- Making an impression. How can you compliment someone's new office building or give a solid handshake over a Google Hangouts meeting? Without face-to-face meetings, we miss out on different conversation starters that are likely to leave your client or customer with good memories and lasting impressions.
- Create connections. Business calls are just that – business. We might go through the motions of the niceties: "Hi, how are you? Good, me too." Sound familiar? When you meet someone in person, you naturally cement relationships with small talk that is much more personable and effortless than the white noise you may find in emails or calls. Notice some sports memorabilia in a new client's office? Nothing can start off a great relationship like some friendly rivalries.
- Body language is king. Forbes Magazine has recently reported that over half of our communication is nonverbal – stemming specifically from our body language. We've all dealt with clients that may tell you what you want to hear, only to ask for something different in the end. If you had an in-person meeting could you have saved a lot of time and money by reading their body language? Perhaps.
Innovation is what keeps the world going round and many Jaycee members will be the first ones you know with the latest and greatest in technology. While we embrace it, none of it can completely replace what you can get out of human contact. Do you prefer to conduct your meetings in person or electronically? Visit our Facebook page or LinkedIn group and let us know which you prefer and why!

A regulator's "goodness" is defined by four fundamental traits: Omniscience; Solomonic Wisdom; Clairvoyance; and Righteousness.
The Constellation Experience
Ring-fencing after the subprime meltdown.
opinion that a bankruptcy court would not consolidate the assets of BGE with Constellation in the event of a Constellation bankruptcy; 15 3) the SPE and BGE implement sundry specific measures to maintain requisite legal separateness between and among themselves and Constellation; and 4) BGE's charter and by-laws be amended to require the unanimous vote of the board of directors, including the BGE independent directors, in order for BGE to file a voluntary petition of bankruptcy. The MDPSC also conditioned its approval of the acquisition on BGE's not paying dividends to Constellation if, after the dividend payment, BGE's equity level would fall below 48 percent.
With the repeal of the 1935 Act, state regulators looking to safeguard regulated utilities and protect consumer interests face the significant challenge of insulating utilities in holding companies from the risks flowing from unregulated enterprises. The credit, collateral and market risk associated with derivatives and trading activities is only one example—albeit a compelling one—of the risks associated with unregulated entities. 16
Given the difficulty of policing and monitoring the riskiness in public utility holding company structures and dealings, ring-fencing measures offer a potential structural safeguard. However, ring-fencing does not offer fool-proof protection and can give rise to its own regulatory trade-offs.
Bankruptcy Remoteness, Not Prevention
Courts have found that it might be "sound business practice for [the parent] to seek Chapter 11 protection for its wholly-owned subsidiaries when those subsidiaries [are] crucial to its own reorganization plan." 17 A parent holding company typically can order a wholly-owned utility subsidiary to file a voluntary petition for bankruptcy together with the parent's own filing. While the utility articles of incorporation or by-laws likely would require board of director approval for such action, the parent company likely would control the board of directors of a utility subsidiary. Consistent with the concept of owner-control, the utility vote to file is thus a foregone conclusion.
The creation of a golden vote and/or golden share is a measure for addressing this issue, and was one of the MDPSC's required ring-fencing measures for BGE. The utility's governing documents are modified to provide for at least one independent board member, and the arrangements are such that the decision to file for bankruptcy must be by unanimous vote of the board. 18 Alternatively, or additionally, the decision to file can be conditioned upon the vote of a special voting share that resides in the hands of an independent entity. In the case of Enron and PGE, the suite of ring-fencing protections included a golden share requirement.
The golden vote mechanism is not a guarantee that the subsidiary utility will choose to forego filing a petition for bankruptcy. There does not appear to be a recognized requirement that an independent director or golden shareholder must vote against the utility's filing a voluntary petition for bankruptcy. The Bankruptcy Court for the Southern District of New York was very clear on this point in the recent General Growth Properties proceeding. The "belie[f] that an 'independent' manager can serve on a board solely for the purpose of voting 'no' to

"Pat warned my kids that if they didn't turn off their Xbox when they were finished, it would burn out," says Janet Crown, the owner of a recently renovated 12,000-square-foot home in Los Angeles, Calif.
That's Pat as in Patrick Calderone, who is the owner of Audio Video Experience (AVX), the custom electronics design and installation firm hired by Crown to rig her place with a variety of family-friendly electronic systems. As the audio/video expert on the two-year project, his advice was taken seriously by Crown's three grade-schoolers.
"If they'd remember to turn off the lights even one-tenth of the time that they remember to shut off their video games, we would be the most electrically efficient house in town," she laments. (Click here to view a slideshow of the home and 103" plasma install.)
Parental Control
It would take more than conscientious use of the Xbox for Crown to feel completely at ease with the impact of technology on her kids. Her goal was to install a user-friendly, reasonably indestructible audio/video system that was simple to operate and that would network the TVs, video games and computers. "I wanted this house to be a place where my kids could be kids, and not live in fear of breaking something if they touched it," she says. "I also wanted to be able to monitor what they were watching, listening to or Googling."
Calderone recommended a Crestron control system, which turned out to be a perfect parental companion. From 12-inch color Crestron touchpanels, Mom is able to monitor every TV, iPod and game console in the house. "If the kids get a little volume happy outside, I can adjust the volume right from the touchpanel," she says. The same goes for the movies her kids watch or the games they play. Crown can see what's happening, interrupt the video if necessary and even turn things completely off.
That's a particularly handy feature, considering how the residence is laid out. The kids' main video game playing area, for example, is located in a space above the garage, away from the common areas of the house. "It's a place where her 5-, 9- and 11-year-old can really let loose," says Calderone. He and his team outfitted the room with two Sony 46-inch LCD TVs, Sonance in-ceiling speakers, RTI remotes, Wi-Fi, and of course, the usual fare of gaming systems: Xbox 360, PlayStation 3 and Wii.
There's even a spot just for the adults. "Janet wanted to include a Nintendo Wii in the bar area right off the backyard for entertaining," says Calderone. Here, AVX hooked the console to a wall-mounted 58-inch Panasonic high-def TV. Leon speakers used for front surround channels fire from a single housing that was custom-built to fit the width of the TV, and a pair of Focal in-ceiling speakers pump out the rear effects.Facebook and Twitter.

This is a very effective combination that is commonly used during detox. Chlorella is well known for its strong detox properties. Chlorella is naturally strongly negatively charged (if you have taken chlorella before, you will see the chlorella sticking to the metal spoon like it's magnet) and allows it to bind strongly to positively charged matters such as heavy metal, chemicals or environmental toxins. Sometimes the positively charged matter is already tightly bonded to our body tis sue or cells, making the chlorella unable to bind to it and pas sed out from our body. This is where Cilantro comes in. Cilantro can change the electric charge of those positively charges matter, weakening its bonds to our body tis sue or cells. Then chlorella can effectively remove it. The taste is sweet and actually tastes well for a tincture. Considering that we are exposed to all these heavy metals and chemicals more than before, it is highly recommended to take this daily or regularly. This product also uses organic cilantro and chlorella which means that it is not already bonded to other matters which before we can consume it. Pricewise, it is reasonable and the large bottle can last for quite some time. Check out my page for more reviews!
Great, but SHAKE EXTREMELY WELL.

I was/am an extremely metal toxic person as a result of drinking lead-contaminated water since I was a child, eating tons of tuna for years, and having 12 large mercury dental fillings. After having followed the Andrew Cutler protocol of DMSA and ALA for almost a year, I felt I had reached a plateau and wanted to try something different. I was happy to find this combination of cilantro and chlorella, as the combination is well known as a strong way to bind mercury especially and get it out of your body. I a fairly sure that this supplement does something, because after taking it for a few weeks, my brain feels a little tingly, which in my experience with taking chelation supplements is a sure sign that there is metal movement going on. NOTE: Anyone who is looking at chelation supplements like these or alpha lipoic acid should make sure that they have removed all sources of metal (dental fillings) from their body before starting--otherwise you will be pulling even more metal IN to your system! Finally, the only thing I would say is to make sure you shake this supplement EXTREMELY WELL before every use. For the first bottle, I shook it a few times before every use, but when I got to the bottom I found that there was a half inch of green sludge still there, which I added a little water into to get out.
This product is so imporant if you are dealing with Chemtrail poisoning!

Heavy metal poisoning is coming at us with the metal being put in your cereal, potato chips, flour, and who knows where else. Its also being sprayed in large quantities in what you think is "con trails" but its not. They are chemical trails. This product should be part of your daily routine before you go to bed. Metals go to your brain and feet when you are sleeping. You need to remove it. This is a really good product.
Very effective

In a half hour of using this product on an empty stomach I can feel the tingling and pulling in my larger muscles. At first it made me very tired for about an hour. After a couple of weeks I'm starting to feel more energetic. The dropper is a bit hard to measure with and I started out filling a half of teaspoon which is about 2.5 ml. Now I just drop as much as I can fill in two droppers directly in my mouth. Not at all hard to take, it's actually sweet tasting. I feel greatful for the manufacturer in making this very effective metal detoxer at an affordable price. If you have a metal problem, I would definitely try this one. I've already tried a number of things and this really gets things moving.
Detox, detox!

Gerald Celente coined the term "Clean Foods" in 1993 and predicted sustained growth in organic products in 1988

The Martial Artist of Trend Forecasting — Gerald Celente, a black belt Close-Combat martial artist, well understands the importance of proacting rather than reacting: "The first rule of Close Combat is to attack the attacker. Action is faster than reaction. The same holds true for the future. You know the future is coming … attack it before it attacks you."
Political Atheist — Gerald Celente is a political atheist. Unencumbered by political dogma, rigid ideology or conventional wisdom, Celente, whose motto is "Think for yourself," observes and analyzes the current events forming future trends for what they are – not for the way he wants them to be.
Globalnomic® Trend Forecaster — Using his unique perspectives on current events forming future trends, Gerald Celente developed the Globalnomic® methodology, which is used to identify, track, forecast and manage trends.

Got her last night and initially I figured my tank gear was good enough to fight through the enrage with 2 healers on me exclusively. Nope. It might have been more a function of slow DPS than anything else but she rocked my world. I'll wait and see how Cider's peeps did it before I comment further.
On a side note, it took me 5 minuted to figure out the loot as she dropped "Boots of the Follower" and "Boots of the Worshipper" , both leather, one spellpower and one melee DPS. Oh man, that fried my brain.
your hat may be nice, but I have the little white tank top that says Legendary right across my boobs. I win. (or more correctly, H wins)
We downed her on the first try with our Naxx 10 raid Saturday (with, honestly, some really low DPS).
It's a gimmick fight and not much else. If you've got the healing and the tanks to get through the trash to her, and your DPS knows when to switch targets, it's almost trivial to shut down her enrage and poison bolts. We had one of her enrages last for something like two-tenths of a second before the DPS finished off the last add.
Mind you, if you screw up, it's gonna be tough. She DOES hit like a truck when she's enraged. You can afford to kill one add too early, but if you kill two at the wrong time, hope you've got some painkillers.
I take a melee non burst dps - Fury warrior for example and burn the adds all down to about 20k hp, then i have the dps get back on the boss. I will work each add down to 3k hp. then go dps the boss. When she enrages i switch kill and add and go back to boss. I make my OT( a pally) main tank this fight since i can push more dps. The only thing to make sure to do is no aoe. Single target dps, AOE can catch an add and push it over when you need it to stay alive
Ok Confession: I was unaware that there was a range on the 'pacify' thing so I drug her all the way back to a corner and had a DK work them down then whack one when she enraged. Imagine my suprise when this did nothing.
You have to be far enough away to keep your people out of the silence, but close enough to make pulling and add over to sacrifice quick. Especially if the DK's taunt fails and you have to go grab an add yourself, lol.
In other words, I'm talking out of my arse, just do it like Cider does and you win.
your hat may be nice, but I have the little white tank top that says Legendary right across my boobs. I win. (or more correctly, H wins)
A few things I noticed:
1) The worshipers on 10-man have a fairly low amount of health, to the point where I called for a burn on the first one to 50%, and it ended up accidentally dying. We use a DK tank on Faerlina, so I found the easiest method (as the OT on the worshipers) was to round up all 4 (see note 2), actually focus on the first one to bring it down (personally focus, not the whole raid damaging it), and then have the DK grip it over and the raid murders it. After the 1st add, I don't do anything other then Holy Shield, rinse repeat with the deathgrip -> murder.
2) Spell interrupts helped me quite a bit on the 25 man version in rounding up the 4 worshipers, since they're all casters. I stood dead center on the green circle and had a mage counterspell each add to me in turn.
In case you want to have her enraged full time anyways, you can keep your raid outside of the room, while a hunter pulls the boss and feign deaths. The boss will reset, but her adds won't - They run through the closed doors and you can kill them at your leisure. After that, pull the boss and Bloodlust, she is basically dead before your and your offtank's cooldowns have run out.
We noticed that on our first clear due to a rogue pulling and vanishing
A nice little tidbit I found out the hard way is even though it's a small amount of dps (and any dps is welcome) a mage should not use mirror image on this fight (10 man, haven't tried on 25). We had all her worshipper's near death and turned our attention to Faerlina and when it came time to death-grip the add to her it was at full health. We wiped and my raid lead starting yelling about me polymorphing the worshippers. Long story short, your mirror images will poly the worshippers. The only thing that saved me is that they polymorph into penguins and I don't have that glyph.
So we tried the 25 man yesterday. We've downed her 5 times or so in 10 man, and felt pretty prepared. We had 3 priests with us for the MCs!
One priest MC'd on the first pull and Widow's Embrace did not appear on his action bar. We figured this was a Dominos flaw of some kind. We wiped. Another priest tried on the next pull and said that the mob was immune. Third pull we got one and broke a frenzy no problem. Second frenzy also broken no problem. Third frenzy the MC'd mob broke the MC before spell could be cast and then both mobs were immune. Fourth pull (and fifth) mobs were Immune.
Figuring there was something going on that we didnt anticipate, we quit for the night.
So, everybody, wassup with that?
It is possible for lag/latency to cause problems with "immune", I believe, from what our priests have said that if they MC but move before it is finished, even if it looks finished, it breaks MC cos their character moves and not the mob they were trying to MC, and trying to re-MC causes "immune" messages. Best to MC a little early and have it all steady before running the mob to faerlina. As you say, kinda difficult to know what goes on on a priest's screen, but this is what I gather can happen.
**Give me a hug and I'll defend you with my life**
Blog: http://www.tankspot.com/blog.php?550-Shortypop
Thanks Cider. The only way you could be any more helpful is to run our raids for us. All is greatly appreciated.
When the priests reconfigured their Action Bar mod (Dominos) it worked much better. I think what was happening to the other mobs, with the immune, was that they were in consecrate or death and decay or had a bleed effect on them that was disabling the MC. We ran into a similar issue on Razuvius. Of course, and as always, it could always be an issue between the chair and the keyboard. . .
Thanks for your input everybody.
So is there someone out there who may have a screenshot of a priest pov with the ability on the action bar (or where ever it may be) so I can try to help my priest get this sacrificing thing down? Getting real old hearing the same thing every attempt, "There is nothing on my action bar".

Partial Derivatives
Okay, we want to move towards some analogue of the derivative of a function that applies to functions of more than one variable. For the moment we'll stick to single real outputs. As a goal, we want "differentiability" to be a refinement of the idea of smoothness started with "continuity", so an important check is that it's a stronger condition. That is, a differentiable function should be continuous.
For functions with a single real input we defined the derivative of the function at the point by the limit of the difference quotient
The problem here is that for vector inputs we can't "divide" by the vector . So we need some other way around this problem.
Our first attempt may be familiar from calculus classes: we'll just look at one variable at a time. That is, if we have a function of real variables and we keep all of them fixed except the th one, we can try to take the limit
That is, we fix down the values of all the other variables and get a function of the single remaining variable. We then take the single-variable derivative as normal.
The first problem here is that it having these partial derivatives — even having a partial derivative for each variable — doesn't make a function continuous. Let's look at the first pathological example of a limit we discussed:
If we consider the point , we can calculate both partial derivatives here. First we fix and find . Thus it's easy to check that . Similarly, we can fix to find , and thus that . So both partial derivatives exist at , but the function doesn't even have a limit there, much less one which equals its value.
The problem is the same one we saw in the case of multivariable limits: we can't take a limit as one input point approaches another along a single path and just blithely expect that it's going to mean anything. Here we're just picking out two paths towards the same point and establishing that the function is continuous when we restrict to those paths, which doesn't establish continuity in general.
There's a deeper problem with partial derivatives, though. Implicit in the whole set-up is choosing a basis of our space. To write as a function of real variables instead of one -dimensional vector variable means picking a basis. In practice we often have no problem with this. Indeed, many problems come to us in terms of a collection of variables which we bind together to make a single vector variable. But in principle, anything with any geometric meaning should be independent of artificial choices of coordinates. We can't even talk about partial derivatives without making such a choice, and so they clearly don't get to the heart of any sensible notion of "differentiability".

Old Time Radio Downloads > Crime > Crime Classics
Crime Classics was a radio docudrama of CBS which was aired from June 15, 1953 to June 30, 1954. The show was produced, created and directed by Elliott Lewis. With consultation with Lewis, Morton Fine and David Friedkin wrote every single episode of the show. The show was hosted by Thomas Hyland which was played by Lou Merrill.
Crime Classics examines real crimes from ancient Greece to late 19th-century America. The cases varied from assassinations of famous people such as Leon Trotsky, Abraham Lincoln, and Julius Caesar up to some small, not-so-popular cases. William Conrad was one of the most frequent radio actors of the show.

To think means to have and to be able to control a range of free-flowing ideas with no limitations. In order for something to genuinely think, there needs to be some type of "brain" to process the consciousness. There also needs to be no limitations in the thought process--such as a person's free will.
In the movie "I Robot," the character Sonny can genuinely think because he has a free will.

Research Consent
Fundamental to the responsible conduct of research at the MUHC is the concept of informed choice. This requires that a person receive sufficient information about participating in research; while in a situation where the decision would be voluntary and free from undue influence or inducement. Informed choice may lead to agreement to become a research subject, or may equally result in refusal. Following agreement to participate in research, the person will be asked to provide "written informed consent". However, no matter what the decision is concerning research participation, a person's right to receive appropriate health care services at the MUHC will not be affected.
Informed consent is not a single event. Rather, it refers to the ongoing process to respect the ethical principle that underlies all human subjects research. Informed consent is morally valid when the process includes three key elements: competence, disclosure/understanding, and voluntariness. The process involves the investigator and the prospective subject exchanging information and questions to establish a dialogue about the research. The conversation must satisfy the information needs of a prospective subject or their substitute decision-maker. Prospective subjects must be assured they understand the nature of the research well enough to decide about participating knowledgeably and freely. The investigator must determine whether the person recognizes the research related risks and potential benefits, and realizes what commitments are required of a study subject.
From the "Code of Ethical Conduct for Research Involving Humans":
"A morally valid choice [i.e. an informed choice] concerning research participation is made: (1) by a competent person; (2) on the basis of adequate information concerning the nature and foreseeable consequences of the research (as these are known at the time the request is made) and all available alternatives; and (3) without controlling influences such as 'force, fraud, deceit, duress, over-reaching, or other ulterior forms of constraint or coercion' (Nuremberg Code)"

In this week's Manicure Monday nails are proving the perfect antidote to the January blues, as lots of your manicures were super bright and sparkly. The tie dye nail art sent to us by @N_O_S_tumblr is the perfect example of how you can wear S/S 13 trends on your fingertips, as this is a 90s explosion which would make Mr Henry Holland proud. Speaking of trends @daisylaura shared with us her monochrome striped nails, modelling in front of her copy of Grazia. @LPony88 and @baiabags had loud, colourful and summer-ready nails, while @bonbon28687 and blogger @sweetiesal went for wintery greens, gold and grey hues. Anyone else feeling inspired?
A big thank you to @tamaratrott, @VictoriaJosette, @sweetiesal, @N_O_S_tumblr, @bonbon28687, @daisylaura, @LPony88, @bareMinerals_UK and @baiabags for sharing with us your beautiful, beautiful manicures.
