SofMaker 2008 Available for Free!
Subject description: It's Back!
I discovered that SoftMaker has made the 2008 version available today which is ironic because I just bought it for half price today,not that it would have made any difference.
I have used 2008 since last year and it is all it's cracked up to be, the best Office Suite period!
One weird problem I have with 2010 is that I was unable to remove the locals I did not want which was a snap with 2008. Hopefully their techs wil;l have the answer.
Maybe it's time to get permission to add it to Puppy?
They should let us do it now!
Almost forgot-you can get a key and download the software here.
I never bothered to make a pet, I see no need.
Just open the tarball in pupzip and remove all the files that end in abbreviations for languages you don't need like .ru for Russian, .hu for Hungarian etc.
Note .es is for Spanish {Espanol} . Be sure to answer yes when it ask you if you want to save the changes . This will reduce the file to about 33 megs. If anyone wants to offer a better way please do, I just made this one up one day.
Then extract all the files to root . Hit F12 or Menu and go to Utilities Execute a Program . There is a file in the directory created in root called "installs office" . Drag it in to the window of execute a program and click run in terminal . Of course you can open a terminal window and drag it there as well . Then just answer all the questions and then type fixmenus in a terminal menu. This should add Textmaker to documents in menu , Presentations to Graphics etc. If you have never used the program you have to put your email address and registration key in the first time.

Thanks Geoffrey,
The link mentioned above by you is still working as I have downloaded the
softmaker office suite 2008 for WINDOWS as well as LINUX and
got serial number through E-mail.
I suggest for others to try this link immediately to obtain the serial number.
I have also tested the sfs file available from MU's site in wary-500 using
the obtained serial no. and it works fine.
Thanks once again and wishing success to others.

Good news:
If you don't use your coupons before they expire, they're still worth the money you paid for them for an extra three months.
GrabOne FaceValue gives you another three months after your coupons expire, making it even easier to enjoy businesses all over New Zealand.
How does it work?
- A coupon is valid up until and including the expiry date printed on the coupon.
- If you don't use it before the expiry date for whatever reason, the coupon retains the value you paid for it for an additional three months.
- This means you can turn up to the business up to three months after the coupon has expired and put the money you spent to buy that coupon towards the service or experience printed on your coupon.
For example, if you spend $50 on a $100 dining voucher but don't use it before the expiry date, you will still be entitled to $50 worth of food and beverage services at that business for an additional three months.
The same goes for coupons without monetary values assigned to them. For example, if you buy a bungy jump deal but don't use it before the expiry date, you can still put the money you spent on the coupon towards a bungy jump, for another three months. Remember, the FaceValue of your coupon can only be put toward the service or experience printed on your coupon.
A few things to note:
- FaceValue applies to all deals that display the FaceValue icon. If the icon is not on a deal, FaceValue does not apply.
- It's always best to use your coupon before the expiry date, so you get the most value for your money. And if you're a bit forgetful, we now automatically remind you if your coupons are about to expire.
- During the FaceValue period, your coupon can only be put towards the service stated on the coupon.
- If the offer is seasonal, like a seasonal menu or chimney sweep service, the FaceValue of your coupon can be put towards a similar offer at the merchant's discretion.
- FaceValue does not apply to product deals, travel and accommodation-related deals, or time-dependent event deals.
- The conditions on your coupon still apply during the FaceValue grace period.

Lion Stacker (Organic Cotton)
Quantity: 1
We love this interactive stacking toy not only for the important motor skills it helps develop, but also for the fact that it's made with healthy, 100% organic cotton. The lion's neck serves as a base for stacking the soft, plush rings, and his head attaches with sewn-in magnets to top it all off. Plus, it comes in a coordinating gift bag, making it perfect for gift-giving!
Why it's a giggle pick Perfect for boosting motor skills, made with healthy organic cotton, and super adorable — what's not to love?See Full Details
Meets the following giggle Criteria:
BEST BASICS: everyday baby essentials
HEALTHY: made with safe or organic materials
RESPONSIBLE: eco-friendly or locally produced
the giggle criteria: We've narrowed down the choices by picking only the best products out there. In other words: if we sell it, we love it, and we think you will, too! Each year, we talk to tons of parents to find out what's most important to them when it comes to baby and kids products. The result? Every product we offer goes through a rigorous selection process and must meet at least three of the following criteria to be included in our assortment:
--100% Organic cotton exterior
--100% Polyester fill interior
--Colored with all-natural dyes
Dimensions9" H x 6" W
Age6 Months & Up
Rated 4 out of 5 by 4 reviewers.
Rated 4 out of 5 by Punny Lion Set! This little guy goes perfectly with rest of Lion toys and rocking Lion we bought for expecting son! As mentioned in the other review, its great to find a organic toys that actually looks good rather than looking like recycled material. Even its made in China, it gives me sense of relief knowing its organic and my baby could chew on it. Not too easy to find NON made in China items these days ;) March 20, 2014
Rated 4 out of 5 by MmeLupita Happy Baby *and* Happy Momma Like all babies, our little one wants to chew on everything so I was happy to find a toy that didn't make me cringe every time she chomped on it. The organic cotton was just right for me and the easy-to-grab rings were just right for our baby. I don't want to be one of *those* parents but I just don't feel good about my kid chewing on something plastic all day! February 25, 2013
Rated 4 out of 5 Mostly o.k. The only part i was disappointed in was that it was made in China. I would like Giggle to publish what country the products were made in. The product itself is soft and the baby appears to enjoy eating it. December 26, 2012
Rated 4 out of 5 by nyctobe Great gift Soft and super cute, babies and parents love this stacker. March 20, 2012

Country of Manufacture
A:MiYim, our partner for this lovely line, is made in the most responsible, best-of-class standard organic and eco-responsible factory that we have seen. Owned and operated by a Korean-American family but based in China, MiYim, and everything about their manufacturing, is a partner we 100% stand behind.
Regardless of where they are made, we only sell prodcuts we absolutely believe in. And we work hard to source only the smartest products throughout the world. We do not, however, believe that some countries should not make products. In fact, we applaud MiYim for their leadership position in responsible manufacturing.

TROY, N.Y. -- Hudson Valley Community College is stepping up when it comes to accommodating student veterans. The college opened up a new study room for vets.
The Armed Forces Study Room is a place where service members can feel comfortable and talk with fellow vets. A staff member at the college - whose son Staff Sgt. Derek Farley was killed in 2010 while serving in Afghanistan - said this is great place for veterans to come together.
Carrie Farley, HVCC Secretary and American Gold Star Mothers President, said, "The soldiers end up coming onto our campus missing the camaraderie. The room is there to mentor each other, to join in and gather and be with each other. It enhances their education here on campus. We thank them for their service, welcome them home, and now it is our turn to take care of them."
The New York State Industries for the Disabled also presented the college with a check for $10,000.

First Line Grabber #29
GENRE: Cozy mystery
I knew it was going to be a chart topping bad day when the kid barfed in the back seat of my taxicab.

Yes! I love the voice, and I'm definitely interested to know more about the character!

Yes. I like the voice, too, it's as simple as that.
- February 23, 2012 at 9:44 AM
- Katherine Ernst said...
Yes. Love "chart topping bad day" although, should chart topping be hyphenated? I'd say yes. See rule number 4 here: http://www.grammarbook.com/punctuation/hyphens.asp

Yes. Great voice with the addition of giving the reader setting.
- February 23, 2012 at 9:50 AM

Yes. The line is interesting and makes one naturally wonder about what happens next in this character's day if he's already had a kid puking in his taxi.
- February 23, 2012 at 9:54 AM
- Alessa Hinlo said...
Yes. Loved the voice.

Yes. I laughed, which always guarantees I'll read on.
- February 23, 2012 at 9:57 AM
Yes. Interesting scene and voice conveyed in one sentence! Eager to find out what is going on with both of these characters. Agree with Katherine about the hyphen. It would make it easier to read.

The line serves the purpose of forging a connection between reader and narrator because it elicits sympathy and understanding of the predicament.

Yes, already love the character's voice.
- February 23, 2012 at 10:13 AM
- KimberlyFDR said...
I like the set-up of this. I get a feel for the character immediately. One suggestion is I think it should be chart-topping? Otherwise, I like it!
- February 23, 2012 at 10:17 AM
- Jean Davis said...
Yes. Great character voice.
- February 23, 2012 at 10:19 AM
- Tyson said...
It does it's job. But I think there is a way to axe that 'was'. The chart topping bad day started when the kid barfed n the backseat of my taxicab. (that only depends on the next couple lines though.) And of course, my humbles opinion. :) I try to axe I knew, I feel, because they tend to add up.
- February 23, 2012 at 10:20 AM
Yes, it does what I want it to, gives me action and emotion and a sense of who the story is about. Great job.
- February 23, 2012 at 10:40 AM
- S. Kyle Davis said...
No. Though honestly, if I could give a scale rather than a simple yes/no, I'd give it about a 6. The "chart-topping" seems to be a positive image that doesn't really mesh with the rest. If you were going for sarcasm, it doesn't quite read like that to me. I'd go more sarcastic or cut the positive imagery altogether.
- February 23, 2012 at 10:41 AM
- Holly Bodger said...
It's really close but the "chart topping bad day" is a little too clunky. Also, "the kid" sounds like we should know who this kid is but we don't. If this is clarified immediately, it's probably fine.
- February 23, 2012 at 10:43 AM
- Rick said...
No. "Chart topping bad day" reads funny to me, and I feel like it should be chart-toppingly.
Besides that, a little puke never killed anyone and kids get sick sometimes. This seems overly dramatic to me.
- February 23, 2012 at 11:09 AM
- Spiral said...
Yes. Anything that starts so boldly with the word "barf" in the first line is worth reading on.
- February 23, 2012 at 11:12 AM
- Jessica Negron said...
It sets the tone nicely. I would, however, get rid of "chart topping." It's an odd musical reference in a taxi cab and I stumbled over it. The sentence works even better without it.
- February 23, 2012 at 11:25 AM
- A. K. Fotinos-Hoyer said...
Yes! I liked the voice - in particular, I liked the promise of a "chart topping bad day"
- February 23, 2012 at 11:39 AM
- Erin said...
Yes. It made me laugh. I'd like to know what else went on to make it such a bad day. However, chart topping as a descriptor brings in a younger voice to me, like a teenager, but I associate taxi drivers with an older set.
- February 23, 2012 at 11:45 AM
- Liberty Speidel said...
Yes. This MC has a great voice!
- February 23, 2012 at 11:53 AM
- Rachel Menard said...
Yes. Great voice.
- February 23, 2012 at 11:58 AM
I was on the fence but I like the voice.
Good luck.
- February 23, 2012 at 12:11 PM
- Karen Akins said...
Yes--Fun voice, and with the genre, I'd definitely read on. Cab driver cozy? Yes, please!
- February 23, 2012 at 12:11 PM
No- chart topping seemed cliche-ish and pulled me up short; descriptive no real conflict
- February 23, 2012 at 12:29 PM
Yes, great visual and funny.
- February 23, 2012 at 12:54 PM
- Feaky Snucker said...
Yes. It tells a bit about the MC, shows either interest in music or pop culture (chart topping), and has something visceral - barf. I'd read on.
- February 23, 2012 at 1:11 PM
No, I didn't like the modifier "chart topping." It felt forced and turned me off.
- February 23, 2012 at 1:14 PM
Yes. I'm a mom -- barf is always attention grabbing. And I liked the humor in the voice.
- February 23, 2012 at 1:15 PM
Yes. A bit of an awkward construction with the "chart topping," but the voice and humor hooked me.
- February 23, 2012 at 1:16 PM
- Tara said...
Yes. Great voice, funny setup. As for "chart-topping" (should be hyphenated), I'm OK with it if the MC is a music-phile or something and makes other references like that throughout. But if it's just a one-off and music has nothing to do with the story, I might suggest cutting it or rewording.
- February 23, 2012 at 1:19 PM
Funny and gives us character and setting. Chart topping is an unusual phrase the way it's used here. It may be hinting at our character--a taxi driving singer? band member?
- February 23, 2012 at 1:43 PM
- Larissa said...
No. I'm personally not fond of "I knew" as an opening.
- February 23, 2012 at 2:04 PM
- Ru said...
Yes, I liked "chart topping bad day."
- February 23, 2012 at 2:11 PM
Yes, it catches my interest with "chart topping bad day" and already gives me a place of setting.
- February 23, 2012 at 2:16 PM
- Shakier Anthem said...
Yes. Thought it had a light, funny voice.
- February 23, 2012 at 2:23 PM
- Patti said...
Yes, although I did think the chart topping wasn't needed and a little awkward.
- February 23, 2012 at 2:27 PM
- DJ said...
Oh yeah! Loved the sarcasm, which shows our taxi driver probably has a sense of humor (driving a taxi can't be an easy job, so a sense of humor is a must), although I agree that "chart-topping" should be hyphenated.
- February 23, 2012 at 2:31 PM
- sarahwedgbrow said...
Yes. Gives a good sense of the book with character, voice, setting, etc. I love the word barf. p.s. "chart-topping" is going to divide readers based on taste, but I doubt they'd put the book down because of it.
- February 23, 2012 at 2:36 PM
- skywriter said...
Yes! Great voice, promises a fun ride.
- February 23, 2012 at 3:38 PM
- Cheryl said...
No. Barf is gross.
- February 23, 2012 at 4:37 PM
I was going to say no because "I knew it was going to be a bad day when" is as cliche as it gets, but there was just enough voice there to lead me on.
I also smell barfy cab, now. Thanks.
I'm on the fence about chart-topping. It didn't turn me off in the first read through. It sounded very saracstic and was a part of the narrator voice. If too many readers object, then maybe think about "record-setting" or some other equivalent.
The one thing I worry about is that the kid puking is just the start of a bunch of minor inconveniences we have to wade through to get to the real trouble. If dealing with the barf, though, leads us to the actual problem, then I'll read straight through.
- February 23, 2012 at 4:45 PM
- Tamara said...
Yes! LOVE the chart-topping - it's a great way to describe something and gives us the voice straight away.
- February 23, 2012 at 5:23 PM
- sbjames said...
Ha. Yes. I love this. I've had a lot of those days.
- February 23, 2012 at 6:12 PM
- Susan S said...
The voice is clear and engaging, with just enough humor ("chart-topping bad day" and "barfed" are great word choices) and a nice flow.
The narrator wins me over immediately - yes, a kid puking in my taxi would pretty much ruin my day too. The fact that I like this narrator makes me eager to read on.
- February 23, 2012 at 6:54 PM
- Wen Baragrey said...
Yes. I didn't like the chart-topping bad day, and I'm not a big fan of barf, but it still worked for me:)
- February 23, 2012 at 7:55 PM
- Julia said...
Yes. I don't like the term "chart-topping bad day," but otherwise this is fantastic!
- February 23, 2012 at 10:23 PM
Yes. Great voice, and an image I can sympathize with.
- February 24, 2012 at 1:30 AM
- Steph Su said...
No. But only just slightly no. "Chart-topping" lends itself to the narrator's possible voice, which is nice, but "barfed" conjures up images of little children on a playground trying to make fun of and out-gross one another. Perhaps a different word choice?
- February 24, 2012 at 3:18 AM
- Komal said...
Yes! It already gives us a taste of the MC's voice with a little humour. Although, I didn't like the use of, "the kid."
- February 24, 2012 at 3:50 AM
- geewiz said...
Yes. I liked "the kid," and would definitely read more to see what's up.
- February 24, 2012 at 8:58 AM
yes. love the voice and the humor, always a grabber for me
- February 24, 2012 at 9:46 AM
- Nata ArtistaDonna said...
No.Starting the first sentence with I knew I was...... doesn't work me either...passive
- February 24, 2012 at 12:20 PM
- Stephsco said...
Yes. It could benefit from minor reworking, but overall I get the tone.
- February 24, 2012 at 1:53 PM
- Danika dinsmore said...
Yes. Sense of forboring, sense of humor, and already a clear voice.
- February 24, 2012 at 2:58 PM
- A Little Push said...
No, but I generally don't like books that start with "I knew it was going to be a bad day when..." it sounds too much like a setup.
- February 24, 2012 at 4:20 PM
- macaronipants said...
Yes - I liked the humor. Although chart-topping, should probably be chart-toppingly. Which is awkward. I don't know - there's something about that phrase that seems off.
- February 24, 2012 at 8:41 PM
- Bron said...
No. I'm not a fan of 'I knew' for a start either. It makes me think this is going to be someone looking back, and I prefer to start in the present rather than with a character telling us things.
- February 25, 2012 at 2:30 AM
I prefer to avoid bodily fluids in the first line.
- February 25, 2012 at 6:11 PM
- Jennifer said...
I liked the humor and the voice here. Sure, there is a bit of cliche in "chart topping" but I would give this a few more sentences to see where this is going.
- February 25, 2012 at 8:07 PM
- Lanette said...
Yes. Great voice.
- February 26, 2012 at 6:08 PM

Kill it after round 15.
For the record, I am opposed to the idea of a finals series in a league competition.
Saying this now while first place is still up for grabs.
I think you should do a final between the top 2, or don't bother with finals. What's the point of doing a 15 round league if you're going to do a knockout with half the teams afterwards. You could do a best of 3 with the top 2 sides though, just like a triangular ODI series.

Ooh look at me I have an unbiased opinion
"Your averages, captain, coaches and players can probably survive incompetence over a relatively short series, so if youre going to be rubbish, make sure its against Pakistan, Sri Lanka, New Zealand or someone."
I don't think I can make the top five anymore, so I think my opinion of a top five is now unbiased as well.
No need for any finals. Completely defeats the purpose of having a league-type tournament imo.

Review: 2010 Lincoln MKZ makes a name for itself in the middle
by Chris Shunk (RSS feed) on Jun 17th, 2009 at 11:57AM
The Lincoln MKZ began life as the Zephyr. It was bland-looking and far too underpowered to compete in the increasingly competitive entry-level luxury class. Ford updated the mid-size sedan back in 2007 with a more powerful engine, some cosmetic updates, and a new alphanumeric moniker. Despite the alterations, the least expensive Lincoln still didn't stack up with the competition in many areas, let alone in terms of image or "wow" factor. Understandably, Lincoln is looking to reverse the fortunes of its MKZ for the 2010 model year, with a thorough makeover on the inside and some major... Read More

Talamati is a Xitsonga word that means "Lots of Water". Yet, despite the meaning of the name, the river is actually dry. The clay soil however, acts as a giant sponge holding a vast reservoir of underground water and keeping the vegetation lush all year round. Talamati Bushveld Camp is situated in a large open valley, affording superb game viewing opportunities. The luxuriant grassveld in the area attracts large herds of grazers, and the predators never lurk too far behind.

To all of the board members who are veterans--Thank you for your service & your courage.
Thank you Olivia, and I second it to all my fellow veterans.
Thanks to all our Veterans we pretty much have the right to voice our opinions publicly.Try that in some other countries around the world and find out how much freedom you have.
Thank you Olivia. Same to all the other board members that served.
Thanks, Olivia and same to all my fellow veterans. Does anyone remember when this day was called "Armistice Day?" and having its roots in the ending of WWI, which ended on 11/11 at 11;00 AM, most of the office buildings in NYC - and I suppose all over the USA - would dim their lights at 11:00 AM in memory of that event and those that had died. I remember this happening from when I graduated high school in 1957 until I went into the Air Force in 1958.
Jack, Air Force also, altho 7 years after you. What bases did you serve at?
Pomonoker: Lackland for basic, of course. Gunther, Alabama for Aeromed training, and stuck for the rest of the four at Langley, Virginia except for a TDY to Alpena, Michigan to support a reservist call up. I did get to meet the first seven astronauts, though, as Langley was the home of NASA before it moved to Houston. I got out two weeks before the Cuban missile crisis; was almost positive I'd be yanked back in until things finally blew over.
Thanks Olivia..and I salute all my fellow veterans as well. DrSteve(Spec.4 USAR).
Thanks Jack, the only common base was of course Lackland. 6 weeks in my case, I bet yours was longer. From there I went to Keesler in Biloxi Mississippi, for technical training, electronics, and ground navaids, for 10 months, and then to Suffolk County AFB, in Westhampton Beach. 70 miles from home, lol. After close to two years there, I decided I really didn't enlist to be on Long Island, I put in a request to be sent anywhere in the world, figuring there was probably a good chance it would be Nam, but I was ready to go someplace. I then got orders to go to Osan AFB in Korea, which as an old MSgt, told me was a great tour. He was right, I had a great time for the 13 months I was there.I always tell anyone that asks, that enlisting was probably one of the best things I could have done at that time in my life. Absolutely no regrets.
My brother Ken flew a phantom jet during the Viet Nam war. He stayed in the Air Force Reserve until his passing and is buried in the military cemetery out in Calverton LI. His son is in the USAF with search and rescue. He has been to Iraq and 3 tours in Afghanistan .He is now stationed somewhere in Africa which is another hot spot. God bless these guys in search and rescue who are constantly putting their lives on the line to save others. They have my total respect.
Thanks Olivia.As I grow older, I look back on those 4 years I spent in the Navy, and they seem to be among the best things I ever did, although I was no hero - like many guys, I did my duty and served "honorably". I got out and went back to civilian life.

God Bless all that served. I was one of 45,200 called up in the Oct. '66 Draft. Scary times.
I got a free lunch in Applebees today,then at 4p.m.,I got a free dinner at The Golden Corral.The golden Corral went out of their way for us vets.They had a live group from some church singing for us during our meal. (all you can eat buffet ) They sang patriotic songs along with spirituals from 4p.m.untill 9p.m.The manager of the store went around to each and every table thanking us for our service. There must have been well over a thousand people served.The food was great,and they even served stake. Now that's a restaurand I will never forget. They lost thousands of dollars that day,just so they can pay tribute to us. WOW !
I'm curious CharlieP, what did you need to show, if anything, to show you were a veteran? DD214?
My husband and a friend went to the Olive Garden in Times Square for the free meal for veterans. They show their VA cards for identification. That VA card works well in Home Depot and last weekend at Bed, bath and Beyond.
Pomonker- DD 214 ,Dog tags, If you live near a VA Hospital or Clinic you can request a VA ID card which works well (you to have you furnish a lot of personal information).At Home Depot the other day they scanned my VA Universal ID bar code at the check out register.
Last edited by Sal (2013-11-14 17:24:04)
I've never used it but if you're in the American Legion, that ID card would show you're a veteran.
I have a DD214. I was just curious about how closely they checked.
Pomonoker, I used my V.A. i.d. card,but your DD214 would do. With my V.A.i.d.card,I get 10% off in Lowes. Funny,last year my wife told the guy at The Golden Corral that she was in the British Army,as a joke, (she's from England) and believe it or not,the guy said "go ahead,you can get a free meal also". She almost fainted. LOL

Life's too short, but you don't have to be...
Fashion Icons for the "Vertically Challenged" Man
Although catwalks typically feature hulking men that passed six feet in their teens, fashion icons come in all shapes and sizes. Whether they are barely over 5ft and sporting height increasing shoes or whether they are just a few inches shy of 6ft, men take inspiration from all corners when it comes to their personal style. Here, we take a look at some of the pint-sized icons who have created their own fashion niche and inspired men everywhere.
The Perfect Gap: What is the ideal height difference in a relationship?
In the grand scheme of things, height compatibility might not seem like the most important thing in a relationship. However height is often a key feature in what we judge to make a person 'attractive', and men and women alike are often turned off by a large disparity in height. Because of this, men and women tend to have ideas about what is the ideal height and the ideal height difference between them and their perfect partner. This is especially apparent in people who markedly above or below average height. Continue reading
The history of the heel: Men wore them first
In modern culture and fashion, wearing high heels is almost exclusively a 'feminine' thing. Today men may feel self-conscious about wearing heeled shoes, and shoes that do add height for men are usually referred to as 'lifts', 'cubans' or 'elevator shoes' rather than 'heels'. In light of this, many people may be surprised to learn that historically it was actually men who started the trend of wearing high heels.
Extreme Measures for Extreme Height: 3 Insane Ways to Get Taller
Height is often such a touchy subject that some will try literally anything to be taller - even if it dangerous. While many smaller-than-average people opt for certain clothing choices or heeled shoes to add the appearance of height, some are so desperate that they resort to chemicals or even surgery to add actual inches to their body. While adding the appearance of height does have certain benefits, there are much cheaper, safer and generally more sane ways to look taller than forcing your body to stretch or grow. Here are three crazy ways to get taller that we certainly would not recommend at home, no matter how short you are!
"Below Average" Height Celebs with "Well Above Average" Success
The typical Hollywood A-lister is 6ft+ with a dazzling white smile and a finely honed body - unrepresentative of the rest of the population, but an ideal many men strive for nonetheless. So what about those unconventional Hollywood heart throbs who have found success and fame while looking up to many of their peers? We take a look at some of the most famous men on the planet who have made a success of themselves - with or without those few extra inches…
Why Adding Inches Can Improve Your Career
Height is inextricably linked in our subconscious to power, and therefore it is unsurprising that taller people tend to do better in business. By almost all measurements, taller people rise higher in business, earn more money and progress further in their careers. The question at hand is why do taller people (especially men) have an advantage and does adding inches to your own frame help you reap those same benefits?
5 Common Sense Ways for Men to Appear Taller
Taller people enjoy many proven benefits in life including better relationships, better salaries and better self-confidence. It is not surprising therefore that many people who are not naturally gifted with height look for ways to artificially add inches to their body. While women can simply don a pair of heels, men have to resort to subtler arts to try to increase their perceived height better than just buying height increasing shoes.
How to Get Taller
Society has accustomed us to linking taller men with masculine qualities such as success, ambition and confidence. Taller men often get the girl, the job and the promotion among other rewards. Why? Because height is an indicator of good genes and this helps in the worlds of dating and business where people judge you and make assumptions about you based on how you look and dress. It is not fair, but it is reality. Continue reading
Impressive historical figures under 5'5"
There are literally hundreds of famous individuals who have disproved the theory that being short impedes success. A couple of those include Beethoven and Picasso.
At 5'4", Ludwig van Beethoven made it to the top as a composer in his time. He was famous for being a pianist of great fantasy and verve, admired in particular for his brilliant improvisations.
Pablo Ruiz Picasso was an artist of the early 20th century whose work remains famous today. Picasso was 5'4", regarded as a boy genius, he and his art inspired many 20th century movements.
The Birth of Altitude Shoes
Altitude Shoes was born when its founder wanted more out of life and realised what it took to do just that. An ambitious man in his late 20s, he had already achieved excellence in several fields; however, he felt there was something missing. He was short. And he wanted to be taller. So, he set out to turn this short-term disadvantage into a long-term advantage.
Is there a correlation between height and IQ?
It is well-known both anecdotally and statistically that taller people generally have it better in life. They have higher levels of self-esteem, they get paid more and they are more likely to have successful relationships. But incredibly, there is also evidence to suggest that taller people also have an intelligence advantage. Continue reading
Mens winter fashion essentials
Winter Fashion Essentials For Every Man's Wardrobe
Being a trend setter and taste maker is in no way reserved just for the girls. If you pride yourself on your sharp sense of style, winter is the season for you but before you pack your wardrobe with bundles of hot off the catwalk looks, try our rundown of white hot essentials. Perfect for city slickers and country mansions, no man's wardrobe should be without these winter essentials this year…
- 1. A Sharp Suit
Classic tailoring never really goes out of style but this winter a sharp suit is your go-to, especially for the festive soirees sure to dot your Christmas getaway. A suit is a wardrobe classic so it's worth paying as much as you can afford to pick up an investment piece that will serve you well year after year. Textures are also big news this season so look for interesting touches such as the use of cashmere and leather. Be careful not to go too OTT on the detail as you won't something classic that you can get wear out of and still look totally on trend in five year's time, rather than something that's going to look dated in a few months. Check out some of our formal and stylish elevator shoes for men which go perfectly with a sharp tailored suit.
- 2. Tartan
If you hit up Instagram you'll have seen tartan packed all over your feed – from tees to hats, trousers to jackets, the Scottish staple is where its at style wise this season. The girls are going made for a classic red and black combo so it's a safe bet if you want to look totally on trend and still impress the ladies in your life with your on-the-nose fashion savvy. If you're a bit unsure, try an accent piece like a scarf –another winter staple- which can bring a casual tee and jeans combo right up to date.
- 3. A Trilby
Another steal from the girls who're embracing hats and the whole masculine-feminine vibe for AW13, hats have been big news for the last couple of seasons are look set to be around for a while yet. Dapper, cool or footballer-off duty, there's a trilby to suit your style. Classic black is a good investment but try a quirkier maroon or cream if you really want to stand out and make a statement.
- 4. A Winter Knit
There's nothing cool about goose bumps and purple skin and if it's good enough for the world's highest paid male model, it's good enough for us. A winter knit will probably be your most hardworking wardrobe buy this year. Look for chunky wool and textural detail such as cable knit as well as interesting design features like a shawl neckline in any colour that tickles your fancy. If you're stuck finding something that doesn't look like it was knitted by your granny circa Christmas 1990, H&M's latest menswear campaign with super Sean O'Pry is all about the knitted jumper so head to the high street and rifle through their selection.
Can Being Taller Pay Off in your Career?
While it makes sense that giant NBA players are getting a good wage, few people actually realise that it is not just in sports where height can tender an career advantage. Recent research has confirmed again what many analysts have long suspected: taller people tend to go further in business and are better paid than their shorter colleagues. So why is it that height can transfer to career success so easily, and just what can you do about it if you're not naturally blessed with height? Continue reading
Would You Attend A 'Same Height Party'?
Depending on your height, you are probably used to looking up or down at people to talk to them. But what would happen if you turned up at a party and found everybody was exactly the same height? That is the idea artist Hans Hemmert had when he threw a 'Same Height Party' to photograph for a German art exhibition, as seen above. While Hemmert's photographs are actually from a 1997 exhibit, they lived in relative artistic obscurity until they made their way on social media sites last year.
When Small Men Make Big Leaders: Why Height Matters When it Comes to World Leaders
Our stereotypes about height pervade group thinking and popular culture, so much so that it actually affects the kind of leaders we choose. Taller men supposedly reap many benefits, one of which is that they are seen as more capable leaders. However when one looks at the data on the height of world leaders, there are many short surprises.

Getting more bang for your buck
Good news:
If you don't use your coupons before they expire, they're still worth the money you paid for them for an extra three months.
GrabOne FaceValue gives you another three months after your coupons expire, making it even easier to enjoy businesses all over New Zealand.
How does it work?
- A coupon is valid up until and including the expiry date printed on the coupon.
- If you don't use it before the expiry date for whatever reason, the coupon retains the value you paid for it for an additional three months.
- This means you can turn up to the business up to three months after the coupon has expired and put the money you spent to buy that coupon towards the service or experience printed on your coupon.
For example, if you spend $50 on a $100 dining voucher but don't use it before the expiry date, you will still be entitled to $50 worth of food and beverage services at that business for an additional three months.
The same goes for coupons without monetary values assigned to them. For example, if you buy a bungy jump deal but don't use it before the expiry date, you can still put the money you spent on the coupon towards a bungy jump, for another three months. Remember, the FaceValue of your coupon can only be put toward the service or experience printed on your coupon.
A few things to note:
- FaceValue applies to all deals that display the FaceValue icon. If the icon is not on a deal, FaceValue does not apply.
- It's always best to use your coupon before the expiry date, so you get the most value for your money. And if you're a bit forgetful, we now automatically remind you if your coupons are about to expire.
- During the FaceValue period, your coupon can only be put towards the service stated on the coupon.
- If the offer is seasonal, like a seasonal menu or chimney sweep service, the FaceValue of your coupon can be put towards a similar offer at the merchant's discretion.
- FaceValue does not apply to product deals, travel and accommodation-related deals, or time-dependent event deals.
- The conditions on your coupon still apply during the FaceValue grace period.

Around 4:12 p.m. April 8, Round Rock Police officers responded to a robbery at QT Jewelry store in the La Frontera shopping area. Witness reported that two male suspects wearing dark clothing, entered the business, displayed a gun and demanded everything in the store. The storeowner shot at the suspects several times and the suspects fled the scene. Despite a coordinated search, including air support from the Austin Police Department, the suspects were not apprehended.
Around 9:50 p.m. the same evening, officers responded to a call from a female reporting that two Hispanic males wearing dark clothing had just robbed her at gunpoint. Officers conducted a search of the area and were able to locate the suspects in another apartment complex about a mile away.
The two male suspects, Brandon Maldonado and Alexander Mejicano, were arrested and property from the female victim was recovered. During the interview with Round Rock detectives, the suspects confessed they were responsible for the QT Jewelry store robbery earlier in the day.

Limbo: it's a neither here nor there type feeling. It's not firmly grounded, yet not entirely uprooted either. There's a sense of always "preparing" for something that might be next, just around the corner, arriving today, or tomorrow, or the next.
Limbo requires that we don't fully unpack our bags, that life stays in boxes ready for the inevitable changes of life and moving on. Limbo can be used as a protection mode, an internal set point that allows us to not get fully hurt or damaged. "It didn't really matter that much? I'll be moving on soon anyway."
Limbo can show up as resignation, a sense of futility, a passivity in our energetics. We may try to take action, but we use limbo as our buffer to give padding for inevitable pains and disappointments.
Limbo can show up in our emotional body, our mental body and our physical body. It can appear as confusion, indecisiveness, lack of clarity, lack of purpose, a sense of disillusionment and overwhelm.
It can cause us to lack commitment or refuse to commit. It can hinder action steps and send us into a state of depression as a result.
This sense of limbo can be related to sandhi planets. Sandhi is the gap; the inbetween space. The netherworld between signs if you will. Most schools of Vedic astrology consider this placement to be weak, to lack strength and clarity.
Sandhi planets, who are just entering a sign or just leaving a sign can lack clarity, purpose and focus, just as I've described about the sense of being in limbo. Sandhi planets are indeed in limbo. (You can check for this in your own chart by looking for planets that are less then 2 degrees or over 28 degrees).
It's true, sandhi planets lack the grounding and stability that a planet who is clearly situated within a sign may offer. It is as though the planet hasn't fully decided if it is in the house that it is in.
It is on its way in or out, but hasn't decided which one it will be. Its bags are still packed, boxes are still full, and it may not know if it's here or there. It's a traveler. It's in limbo.
This sense of here nor there, however, can offer some profound insights and awareness. Nothing is all good nor all bad, and this is quite true with sandhi planets.
Share a free sample Dharma and Karma Charts. Astrology for the soul! Try your free Dharma Chart Karma Chart today!
The gap offers us a connection to the mystical realms, the nether realms, and can offer great depth and awareness with what feels untouchable most of the time (or all the time depending on the individual). Planets that are sandhi offer potential, possibility, unique insights and depth as a result of their "otherworldly" connections.
These are flexible planets and of course that can show up as versatility in a person as well. We can let this lack of grounding hinder us or give us great awareness. That is a choice. What may appear to be a "negative", is in fact a great gift of some sort just waiting to be discovered.
The type of planet and its sign placement will effect the experience of the limbo dance, and the gift or offering within the chart as a result.
As the planets change (every 2.5 days to 2.5 years) each goes through a time period of sandhi. These time periods offer us an experience of possibility and change, immense creativity and potential. At these times, we may feel unsettled, poised for change, but uncertain when it will come.
These junction points may cause us to dream and scheme for something new, yet feel frustration that it isn't arriving soon enough or fast enough. Sandhi times are like a grace period and should be treated as such.
Don't rush things, force agendas, or take untimely actions. Let the planet arrive firmly into its house before you force change, make decisions or take forward action steps. Find ways to surrender to your depths, to listen intently, quiet the mind, and settle into your inner knowing during sandhi planetary dances.
The gap is a perfect time for meditation. These are times to harvest your inner riches; special times that are otherwise unavailable to us. Listen intently and use these time periods of sandhi, the gap, for the value that they can offer.

Puzzle fans of all ages will love these witty scenes of wildlife featuring clever concealments of incongruous items. For example, a clan of elephants munch their lunch amid a backdrop that includes, upon closer inspection, a Christmas stocking, feather, ski boot, hammer, thimble, and scissors. Other images feature amusingly absurd juxtapositions of unlikely items within portraits of a giraffe family, a chortling trio of hyenas, hatching crocodiles, and a lone monkey among chattering parrots. Each of the 14 full-page illustrations appears with a chart of clues to its camouflaged objects. Their mysteries solved, the black-and-white puzzles offer hours of coloring fun.

Sheriff encourages pertinent info for new year
Adams County Sheriff Shane Rekeweg has developed an offender watch program that is updated on the minute these days as such information as the location of sex offenders comes into his office.
Rekeweg said that much of the public will update the status of such offenders periodically but that, offenders move around frequently and changing the Adams County list every day is a good idea.
"Offenders move frequently, so instead of having to check the maps on a weekly basis, the best way to stay informed is to take advantage of the sheriff department's free email alert system," said Rekeweg. "You may confidentially register as many addresses in the county as you wish, and we will continue to monitor the addresses and inform you if a new offender registers an address within one mile of any address you register."
Rekeweg said that there is no cost for the service and no limit to the number of addresses you can register.
Rekeweg noted that all email addresses and physical addresses remain confidential.
OffenderWatch is the national leading registered sex offender management and community notification tool with hundreds of leading agencies in dozens of states utilizing it.
Rekeweg said that Adams County's law enforcement monitors and manages the whereabouts, conduct and compliant status of the registered offenders in Adams County.
"OffenderWatch is updated instantaneously throughout the day as offender addresses and other offender information is updated in our office," said Rekeweg. "You may enter any address in the county and see real-time information on the published offenders within the specified radius that you enter."
The sheriff noted that those registering may do so with home, school, work, gyms, daycare, parks, playing fields or any addresses pertinent to the child's whereabouts.
In addition, Rekeweg suggested the following advice for parents concerning protection of their children:
_ Take responsibility
_ Build self-esteem
_ Teach decision-making
_ Build support systems
_ Choose substitute caregivers carefully
_ Protect kids who are home alone
_ Talk with children, but don't frighten them
_ Be sensitive
_ Talk with children
_ Use role playing
_ Let kids be kids
For further information, contact the Adams County Sheriff Department at 260-724-5345 or contact firstname.lastname@example.com.

The Great Cats exhibit on Lion/Tiger Hill features Sumatran tigers and African lions—living, breathing, roaring great cats. They are ambassadors for their wild relatives, and for the Zoo's conservation and science initiatives for tigers, lions, and many other cats, which, even if not great in size, are still great!
Lions and tigers are on exhibit between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m., daily (weather permitting).
On Earth Day 2014, the Smithsonian's National Zoo and Conservation Biology Institute launched the "Endangered Song Project," an analog-meets-digital outreach campaign that asked 400 participants to help raise awareness about the fact that there are only 400 Sumatran tigers left in the wild.

Limited edition t-shirts are still available for purchase. Call 202.633.0126 to place your order.
On Father's Day weekend, Shera's four cubs made their big debut at the Great Cats exhibit! Now, visitors can see the whole pride every day between 11 a.m. and 1 p.m. weather permitting. Read the latest update on the cubs.
The Great Cats exhibit is celebrating two very special birthdays on August 5: Sumatran tigers Bandar and Sukacita are turning one year old! Keepers Marie Magnuson and Dell Gulglielmo have cared for the cats and their mother, Damai, since they were born. In the latest Keeper Q & A, they reveal birthday plans, presents, and their hopes for the cubs' future.
Read more about the tiger cubs.
There are cats all over the Zoo! Tigers and lions live at Great Cats, with caracals right next door. Cheetahs live at the Zoo's Cheetah Conservation Station. Fishing cats and clouded leopards live on Asia Trail. A sand cat lives in the Small Mammal House. → Learn about cats at the Zoo.
Large or small, cats are graceful, specialized, and powerful animals. Yet, they are among the most endangered. Zoo conservation biologists are working with colleagues on lions' home ground in Africa, and tigers' in Asia, to develop the scientific understanding necessary for effective conservation. Zoo scientists are studying the ecology, behavior, and reproductive biology of tigers, lions, and many other cat species, including cheetahs, clouded leopards, and fishing cats.

Troy Davis' Last Request
After twenty years of attempts to prove his innocence, Troy Anthony Davis was put to death by the state of Georgia on Wednesday night.
Shortly before his execution, his sister Martina Davis-Correia made an emotional appeal for an end to "the atrocities" that are happening in jails and prisons. (Davis-Correia wrote about her years of effort to win the release of her brother in the "Beyond Prisons" issue of YES! Magazine.)
Crowds of Davis supporters gathered outside the prison in Jackson, Georgia, where the execution took place, outside the White House, and in other cities from Portland, Ore., to Paris. Hundreds of thousands signed petitions, wrote letters, and made phone calls. President Jimmy Carter, Pope Benedict XVI, and Archbishop Desmond Tutu were among those asking for clemency. The twitter hashtags #TroyDavis, #MrDavis, and others related to the case were trending worldwide on Wednesday night as people from around the world waited to see if a person whose guilt is in doubt would be executed.
Troy Davis was declared dead at 11:08 pm EST.
Thomas Ruffin, attorney and witness to the execution, told Democracy Now! that among Davis' last words was a request was for "an end to the madness of capital punishment."

WASHINGTON - Getting around Washington on the weekends typically becomes a little easier during the cold winter months. With lower temperatures comes lower highway volumes. Further, there are fewer outdoor events to draw large crowds and road work slows.
Washington's weekend hibernation can keep those who do venture out moving freely on routes that would otherwise be congested during the warmer months.
Some delays are possible on I-95 as the last wave of the holiday travelers migrates through town.
The winter cold will not deter Redskins fans this weekend. Delays are likely to form near FedEx Field on Sunday before and after the first playoff game in Washington in 13 years. Whereas last weekend's match-up against the Dallas Cowboys took place late at night, this weekend's game will coincide with higher Sunday travel volume.
Kickoff is at 4:30 p.m. Expect heavy traffic on the eastern side of the Beltway Sunday evening as fans leave the stadium.
Track work resumes on Metro this weekend. Work on the Silver Line tie-in will close the Orange Line in Fairfax County between Vienna and East Falls Church, where buses will replace trains.
Two segments of the Red Line will experience single-tracking this weekend. There is no scheduled rail work on the Blue, Yellow, or Green Lines.
Red Line
- Trains will single-track between Shady Grove and Twinbrook and between Judiciary Square and Rhode Island Ave.
- The track work will begin at 10 p.m. Friday and last through closing Sunday night.
- Trains will run between Shady Grove and Glenmont at 24 minute intervals.
- Additional trains will run between Grosvenor and Judiciary Square from 9 a.m. until 9 p.m. both Saturday and Sunday.
Orange Line
- Orange Line trains will not operate between Vienna and East Falls Church.
- The closure will begin around 10 p.m. Friday and last through closing Sunday night.
- Express shuttle buses will run between the Vienna and East Falls Church stations. Customers should add an additional 15 minutes of travel time.
- Local shuttle buses will make stops at the East Falls Church, West Falls Church, Dunn-Lorring, and Vienna stations. For each stop, customers should give themselves an additional 15 minutes of travel time.
Road Construction
On the Beltway in Virginia, mobile work crews will continue to refine the lane markings throughout the 495 Express Lanes Project. Brightly lit arrow trucks will block various lanes all night long.
In addition, a stationary work zone is scheduled to block three right lanes on the outer loop near Gallows Road. The ramps from westbound Route 50/Arlington Blvd. and Northbound Gallows Road through early Saturday. The ramps from the outer loop to eastbound Route 50/Arlington Blvd and from Northbound Gallows Road to the outer loop will also be closed.
On Saturday morning, a bridge inspection may necessitate double-lane closures on I-95 southbound in Maryland between Route 212 and the Beltway. Crews should wrap up by 11:30 a.m.
On the Capital Beltway in Maryland, the Northwest Branch Bridge Project is nearing an end. Beginning at 8 p.m. on Sunday night crews will block one to two lanes on both the inner loop and outer loop between New Hampshire Ave. and University Blvd. to install road sensors. All lanes will be open in time for Monday morning's rush hour.

(CNN) -- In a World Cup qualifier featuring heated regional rivals, the United States and Mexico tied 0-0 at Mexico City on Tuesday night.
The result was a huge disappointment for the Mexican team, which through the years has dominated the United States at the Azteca Stadium.
The hosts controlled the match, taking 10 shots to just 1 for the United States. Mexico also had 15 corner kicks as most of the game was played in the U.S. end.
The USA is now 1-23-2 in Mexico.

Panama (five points) took the lead in the CONCACAF group (for teams from North and Central America and the Caribbean), beating Honduras 2-0. Costa Rica is second, followed by the United States and Honduras. Costa Rica, the United States and Honduras each have four points, but are placed according to goal differential.
Mexico, ranked 15th in the world, is fifth in the six-team group with three points. Jamaica is last with two points.

Fans of El Tri, as the Mexican team is known, booed as the referee blew the final whistle, displeased with their team's performance and that two times Mexico's appeal for a penalty call in the box went unrewarded.
The U.S. team had also faced scrutiny in its 1-0 win against Costa Rica during a blizzard in Colorado last week. The Costa Rican Football Federation filed a complaint with soccer's global governing body, FIFA, arguing that markings on field weren't visible, and suggesting the snow affected the "physical integrity" of the players and hampered movement of the ball.
FIFA dismissed the complaint on Tuesday, saying the game's results stand.
The World Cup will be held throughout Brazil from June 12 to July 13, 2014.
