December 21, 2014
PARIS, TX-- Three months and 42 applications later, the North Lamar ISD school board has selected the lone finalist in their superintendent search.
The board selected John McCullough as the lone finalist for North Lamar's superintendent. The position became available after James Dawson announced he was retiring after holding the position for 26 years.
McCullough has spent the last two years as superintendent at Sulphur Bluff ISD. Board President Paul Drake says McCullough has what it takes to take North Lamar to the next level.
"We feel like this is a very exciting time for our school," said Drake. "The man coming in has big shoes to fill, but we feel like he will come in and do a good job and fill in nicely."
The board will have a vote to hire in 21 days. Drake has asked Assistant Superintendent Shelly McDowell to act as interim superintendent.

At first I was thinking to get a wok but then many woks' sizes are a bit too big for me, plus I prefer non-stick as it's easier to clean. I searched on a few websites and found this Stir Fry pan. For this price I am willing to give this a try and it's actually a very decent quality stir fry pan. Easy to clean, right size and heats quite evenly. I have no complaint at all. This is my first Kenmore kitchen product and I would definitely consider purchasing more of this brand.

Baldor to Pay $2 Million in Back Wages, Offer Jobs in Discrimination Settlement
Posted 6/25/2012 11:01 am
Updated 2 years ago
The U.S. Department of Labor said Monday that it has reached a $2 million agreement with Baldor Electric Co. of Fort Smith to settle a hiring discrimination case.
The settlement agreement includes back wages, interest and some job offers for 795 women and minority applicants who were denied positions at the company, which makes electric motors and drives and is owned by ABB Ltd. of Zurich, Switzerland.
In a news release, the Labor Department's Office of Federal Contract Compliance Programs said its investigators had determined that Baldor's applicant screening process created "a disparate impact on women and minorities."
"As a result, 795 qualified women, African-Americans and job seekers of Asian and Hispanic descent were denied the opportunity to advance to the interview stage when applying for production and laborer positions," the Labor Department said.
Baldor told The Associated Press that it was easier to settle than continue to fight the allegation.
"It was going to be a much lengthier process to fight it any longer. We don't admit that we've done anything wrong. This was purely a statistical analysis on their (the Labor Department's) part. But it would have been so long and so much more expensive to fight, it was just time to be done," Baldor spokeswoman Tracy Long said.
Long said the company has been defending itself since the Labor Department raised the issue over Baldor's 2006 employment applicant screening data.
"We've ensured that the screening process is in compliance with the Department of Labor's expectations. We've had lot of time to work on it," Long told The AP. She said compliance is important to the company.
"We've always done the right thing," she said.
The Arkansas Economic Development Commission lists Baldor as the state's 26th largest employer with between 2,000 and 2,500 workers.
The Agreement
Under terms of a conciliation agreement negotiated by the OFCCP, Baldor will pay $2 million in back wages and interest to the affected individuals and make at least 50 job offers to members of the original class action lawsuit as positions become available.
The company also has agreed "to undertake extensive self-monitoring measures to ensure that all hiring practices fully comply with the law, including record-keeping requirements," the Labor Department said.
"I am pleased with this settlement, which reflects a mutual commitment between the Department of Labor and the leadership of Baldor to ensure that all workers have a fair and equal shot at competing for good jobs," Secretary of Labor Hilda L. Solis said in a news release.
"Our shared goal is to create lasting change so that anyone who comes looking for work at Baldor can be sure that discrimination will never be a factor in determining who gets the job," she said.
According to the Labor Department, Baldor holds federal contracts worth more than $18 million with the General Services Administration and the U.S. departments of Veterans Affairs and Justice. It said that from 1997 to 2010, Baldor received $79 million to produce batteries and generators for federal agencies including General Services Administration, the Justice Department and the Army.

The YUI team released version 2.5.1 today and it's available for download from SourceForge. This is a general patch release with 67 issues addressed throughout the library. 2.5.1 improves support for developers running YUI in Adobe's AIR environment and addresses an important security issue raised over the weekend regarding JSON parsing in FireFox. Here are all the top-level items for 2.5.1:
evaled. Douglas's fix for this is now incorporated in the YUI JSON Utility.
yuiloader-dom-event.js: We've added a new rollup file,
yuiloader-dom-event.js, which contains the light YUI Core (Yahoo Global Object, Dom Collection, and Event Utility) and adds to it the YUI Loader (which includes the Get Utility for dynamically adding script and CSS resources). This new aggregate file is the ideal baseline rollup to use when you want to be able to lazy-load any part of YUI on-demand. YUI Loader will calculate the dependency tree for the components you want to add, load the optimized resource list in the correct order, then fire your callback making use of the newly added components:
For full details on using the YUI Loader, see its User's Guide. Note: YUI Loader is now included in the
utilities.js aggregate as well.
Nice work on the bug fixes!

Man, you guys are mind readers! Loader bundled with Dom Event: the butter hit!
It must have been the changes to DataSource parsing, but I noticed in my tests that AutoComplete is WAY faster in this release than 2.5.0. Thanks very much for the continued excellent work!

Kate Gosselin, 35, the former star of "Jon and Kate Plus 8," denies that she has started using Botox, despite signs to the contrary.
"Read my eyebrows: No Botox!" Gosselin told People magazine.
A " source close to Gosselin" told People that "Kate thinks it's hilarious that one photo of her with her eyebrows raised has caused such a stir. It's ridiculous–she hasn't done anything." In fact, more than one photo shows her with the typical arched eyebrows of a woman with imbalanced Botox injections.
Gosselin says she is sticking to an all-natural beauty regimen, an all-organic diet and daily runs near her Pennsylvania home.
Among the doubters are:
Dermatologist Dr. Kenneth Beer of Palm Beach, who says Gosselin looks like the devil.
Us magazine, which says she looks like Jack Nicholson.
Plastic surgeon Dr. Bruce Katz of New York, who says she looks like Mr. Spock in "Star Trek."
Plastic surgeon and blogger Dr. Tony Youn of Michigan, who says that botched Botox injections "can be corrected by a few injections above her eyebrows to let them drop a bit."
"Or by just waiting a few months for the Botox effects to subside."

Cruel mode
Cruel Melee, Cruel Brawl and Cruel Smash are Multi-Man modes in Super Smash Bros. Melee, Super Smash Bros. Brawl and Super Smash Bros. 4, respectively. Like the other modes, this game challenges the player to defeat as many opponents as possible. But in this case, the Fighting Wire Frames, Alloy Team and Mii Team have extremely high knockback in their attacks in their favor while the player has a handicap against them, essentially making this mode a complete reversal of what is normally encountered in other Multi-Man modes where it is much easier to knock out a team member.
The high scores of Cruel Melee and Brawl are recorded by the amount of opponents knocked out. Attaining very high scores in either game is considered one of the toughest actions in the game. Due to the relentless difficulty, players have to exploit the AI in both games to obtain high scores. In Cruel Melee for example, very high scores (such as in the thousands) can be obtained by exploiting an AI standstill bug, performed by standing absolutely still on the rightmost edge of the small right platform. This causes any CPUs, including the Wire Frames, to cease all movement and stand indefinitely unless the player is within attack range. Exploits with the AI in Cruel Brawl, such as by planking, or any other form of stalling under the stage, often cause the Alloys to self destruct when attempting to edge-guard the player.

Shared Courage to Break the Chalkboard Ceiling
Did you know nearly 40 percent of girls in some rural regions of India are never given the opportunity to attend school, and that 60 percent of all Indian girls are forced to drop out by tenth grade to work or marry?1 Five boys in the remote Indian village of Ferozepur took a stand to end this cultural bias against educating girls and fight for gender equality in their community.
For generations, girls in the remote Indian village of Ferozepur have been discouraged from attending school or forced to drop out early to take care of siblings and housework, work in nearby fields, or marry and start their own families. It's simply the way things have been done.
But three years ago, change was driven by an unexpected force, five teenage boys in the village: Gurcharan Singh, Maninder Singh, Navbeep Singh, Sukhvinber Singh, and Sukha Singh.
It was two of Gurcharan's sisters, Kamaljeet and Ramanjeet Kaur, who encouraged him to sign up for the Intel® Learn Program, an after-school program that offers underserved youth access to technology and the chance to develop important 21st century skills. Though his sisters recognized the value of the opportunity, they knew they could not attend and didn't want their brother to miss out.
When Gurcharan arrived at the program, he and his peers were struck by the realization that not one girl was enrolled. When the instructor asked the boys to develop a project to address a community issue, they were in complete agreement on their focus. The Balika Shiksa (Girl Education) Task Force was born.
In the following weeks, the boys collected information, prepared presentations, and went door-to-door to talk to villagers about the benefits of educating girls. They shared success stories and data. They used the slogan, "Only if a girl child is educated can a girl child be elevated."
Initially, Gurcharan reports, villagers were resistant or resigned to the status quo. "They said, 'You're wasting your time. Nothing will change.'"
But over time, doubters were convinced. When the next Intel Learn Program session started, three girls' names were on the roster: Mandeep Kaur, Birpal Kaur, and Rajinder Kaur. Mandeep describes the shift like this: "My parents realized that education is everything today, and that a good education can offer me a better future." Mandeep and Birpal are now studying to become lawyers; Ranjinder, a doctor.
Not only that, Shri Sukhwinder Singh Ji, principal at the local Government High School Wakilanwalan, reports that the dropout rate for girls has steadily declined in Ferozepur and neighboring villages in the three years since Balika Shiksa was formed. "The girls are now at par with the boys in the school," he says, "and the girls are now pursuing higher studies in Zira District College. Also, many have joined vocational courses after class 12."
As for Gurcharan's sisters, Kamalijeet, who long dreamed of becoming an educator, is now teaching in a local school, while Ramanjeet is pursuing a college degree in IT.
And the boys? They, too, are pursuing higher education.

Prevention + Daily Tinted Moisturizer Oil Free SPF 30+ is a sheer cream sunscreen that's best for those with oily to combination skin (or those seeking a lightweight finish in their SPF). At first glance, this seemed to be a standout formula, but, unfortunately, it couldn't earn a higher rating because of its powerful, perfume-like scent.
It contains fragrant flower extract, Arabidopsis thaliana, but despite the seemingly low amount present based on its position on the ingredient list, the fragrance is overwhelming, lingering on the skin and wafting from the container once opened. This product's intense fragrance makes us skeptical about the accuracy of the ingredient label—the inclusion of Arabidopsis thaliana doesn't account for the perfume-like, sickly sweet odor.
The mix of the sunscreen actives titanium dioxide and zinc oxide provides broad-spectrum sun protection, while a soft, neutral tint offsets the white cast that's so common with these mineral actives.
Despite appearing almost bronzer-like when dispensed from the tube, the tint adds only a hint of color and is workable for most skin tones. Those with super-fair complexions may find it less than perfect, but that's easily remedied by layering this under a sheer foundation or BB cream/tinted moisturizer.
On that note, we should mention that the Prevention + Daily Tinted Moisturizer Oil Free SPF 30+ isn't a "tinted moisturizer" in the common sense—the amount of pigment and coverage is next to none (so don't expect this to do much in the way of hiding imperfections).
It's a pity IMAGE Skincare couldn't have left out (or just added less) fragrance; otherwise, this would have been a great sunscreen formula. Instead, consider the products on our list of Best Daytime Moisturizers with Sunscreen in Beautypedia.
This next generation pure physical broad spectrum UVA/UVB moisturizer provides an even skin tone and healthy glow while protecting against the damaging effects of the sun. Tinted Moisturizer SPF 30 is enriched with essential vitamins and potent antioxidants as free radical scavengers.
Active Ingredients: Zinc Oxide 6%, Titanium Dioxide 4.6% Inactive Ingredients: Aqua, Cyclopentasiloxane, Plankton Extract, Hexyl Triethoxysilylethyl Polydimethylsiloxyethyl Dimethicone, Cyclohexasiloxane, Dimethicone/PEG-10/15 Crosspolymer, Arabidopsis Extract, Dimethicone/Polyglycerin -3 Crosspolymer, Aluminum Hydroxide Stearic Acid, Polyglyceryl-4 Isostearate, Cetyl PEG/PPG-10/1 Dimethicone, Hexyl Laurate, Sodium Chloride, Cetearyl Olivate, Tetrahexyldecyl Ascorbate, Micrococcus Lysate, Lecithin, Tocopheryl Acetate, Caprylyl Glycol, Phenoxyethanol, Ethylhexylglycerin, Hexylene Glycol, Iron Oxides.
IMAGE Skincare, a brand operated out of West Palm Beach, Florida, focuses on the concept of "pharmaceutical grade" skin-care products (more on that in a moment). Developed by its president and CEO, Janna Robert, IMAGE Skincare is distributed in spas and dermatology offices. However, it can also be found on retail websites like Amazon (despite the company's claim that these aren't approved retailers).
The IMAGE Skincare approach promotes the concept that those of a certain age should use a certain line of products—a visit to their website's product recommendation page has their five collections categorized by age range, which is a silly concept.
Here's why that approach makes for poor skin care: Simply put, age is not a skin type—the types of ingredients skin needs to stay healthy and act younger are the same whether you're 10, 20, 30, 40, or 50 years old, or beyond. Just as a healthy diet doesn't change as you age, the same is true for skin care. What skin needs to be healthy does not change with age.
To underscore this fact, IMAGE Skincare's recommendations are virtually identical, no matter which age range you select. Interestingly, their age ranges are grouped into three categories: 1–18 (OK, … a 1-year-old? How bizarre is that! A baby is supposed to have a skin-care routine?); 19–35; and then..."36+."
Someone over the age of 40 (all the way to those over 65) can have oily skin and breakouts, and teens can have dry, sun-damaged skin. Research shows that the same ingredients are needed to improve and heal the problem, regardless of age. Relating age to skin care is just silly!
IMAGE Skincare defines their "aging later" approach to mean that if you want to delay the signs of aging, you need to give skin more of what it needs to stay healthier, longer. That includes their recommendation of regular use of AHA/BHA exfoliants, formulas loaded with antioxidants and cell-communicating ingredients, as well as wearing a broad-spectrum sunscreen every day.
We absolutely agree with those points—anti-aging is about taking care of your skin, keeping it protected from environmental harms (i.e., unprotected sun exposure and pollution), and ensuring that all of your products are loaded with beneficial ingredients, no matter your age. Their list of recommendations should also include using products that are free of irritants; that is, ingredients that have documented research indicating their potential to harm skin by causing inflammation and free-radical damage.
Unfortunately, that latter point is where many of IMAGE Skincare's products veer off the mark. For all their claims of including only what's best for the skin, we were disappointed to find that almost all of their products contain at least one irritating fragrance extract or essential oil (some IMAGE Skincare products are overloaded with them), and the fragrance is often overwhelming, lingering on the skin and wafting from the container immediately on opening.
On a side note, the intense fragrance of many of their products makes us skeptical of their ingredient lists—they don't list what could be causing the perfume-like, sickly sweet odor. Fragrance, whether natural or synthetic, is a problem for the skin because of the irritations it can cause.
What about their claim of offering "pharmaceutical grade" ingredients and formulas? When a brand uses the term "pharmaceutical" in describing their products, they're trying to invoke the idea that their formulas are somehow different or "stronger" than those you can find anywhere else. This is nothing more than marketing wordplay—there are no (repeat, no) pharmaceutical-grade skin-care products because the term is not regulated by the FDA, so there is no standard or meaning to the claim. Just as the words "cosmeceutical" and "hypoallergenic" are meaningless, "pharmaceutical grade" is as well.
What matters is that the ingredients they include have published, peer-reviewed research and that your products conform to the safety guidelines and standards set forth in the FDA's labeling regulatory requirements (or international regulatory bodies, if you're outside the United States).
Strangely enough, it was challenging to find accurate ingredient lists for IMAGE Skincare. In some instances, the list on the packaging was incomplete and/or very different from the ingredient list found online (even from "approved" resellers allegedly using information supplied by IMAGE). We are reluctant to trust any company that can't get this simple regulation right; think about buying food at the grocery store that didn't have a label listing everything that was in it.
For example, IMAGE Skincare's Prevention + Daily Matte Moisturizer Oil Free SPF 30+ claims to contain microsponge technology (absorbent polymers that help to control excess oil), and yet the product packaging doesn't list any such ingredients. And, in the case of one of their anti-acne treatments, the combined use of the two active ingredients falls outside of FDA guidelines for anti-acne products (Source: FDA 21 CFR 333.310, 2014).
In the end, some of the products IMAGE Skincare offers are (possibly) worth looking into, but overall we were disappointed in the brand because so many of their formulas, including those of some otherwise impressive products, contained an excess of fragrance, made outlandish marketing claims, and had an abundance of ingredient misinformation wrapped in "pharmaceutical-grade" pseudoscience. We prefer science based in reality—everything else is just hype, and hype is not the way to take the best possible care of your skin… at any age!

Sat, May 12, 2007
Federal Aviation Administration officials issued an internal
memo earlier this year, saying the agency will pass for now on
upgrading its computer systems -- citing hardware requirements for
Microsoft's widely-hyped Windows Vista operations system as a major
The memo, dated January 26, 2007, was written by Chief
Information Officer Dave Bowen, and Vice President for acquisition
and business services James Washington just prior to Windows
Vista's commercial release later that month. They point out that
Vista requires "twice the memory ...than that currently specified
in the FAA Desktop standard configuration," according to
Information Week.
The memo also notes the new operating system needs "a faster
processor" and graphics cards that are currently beyond the
hardware specifications of PCs used by the FAA. The Microsoft
recommendation for running business editions of Windows Vista is at
least a 1-GHz processor, 1 GB of system memory, and a 40-gigabyte
hard drive with 15 GB of free space.
The memo warns FAA tech staffers to be "on guard" against heavy
sales pitches from Microsoft during the initial rollout period for
Windows Vista. "We anticipate that this introduction will be
accompanied by significant advertising hype and salesperson
activity," the document, obtained by Information Week, states.
Bowen told Information Week in a March interview he might
permanently bypass upgrading the FAA's 45,000 desktops to Windows
Vista. At that time, he was instead considering PCs running a
combination of Linux and Google's online Google Apps productivity
Hardware issues aren't the agency's only concern about
Microsoft's new desktop software environment. Internet Explorer 7.0
Web browser is not compatible with many Web applications and
Microsoft Office 2007's Open Document Format just won't work with
the Lotus Notes e-mail software.
The memo orders various units within the FAA to "refrain from
acquiring Microsoft's Vista operating system and Office 2007
products" and to "continue to order Microsoft's XP operating system
and Office 2003, the current FAA standards."
The FAA isn't alone is its concerns. NASA and the Department of
Transportation have also reportedly refused to upgrade to Vista,
due to compatibility and cost concerns.
Microsoft CEO Steve Ballmer met with IT professionals at
Microsoft's Redmond, WA campus last month. He denied a claim made
by a NASA computer scientist that Vista has been banned by most
sectors of the federal government.
"Vista has been anything but banned from most parts of the US
federal government," Ballmer said. He claimed "a number" of
government accounts were adopting the operating system, but did not
name names.
"In the past 18 months, the vast majority of PCs sold met or
exceeded the minimum requirements [for running Windows Vista], so
many organizations should already have a sizeable portion of the
desktop environment that is more than ready," said Microsoft
product manager Mike Burk.
Microsoft officials voice confidence the FAA and other agencies
will, indeed, upgrade to Vista when their current computers become

I often tell people in ministry to look at it as an investment not as a want.
Here are some examples of how to take your good video as part of your total communication strategy and turn it into a great video!

I took this amazing marketing idea from a client of mine. They built a $1.2+ million fund-raising campaign
3 Easy ways to make your online video stand out; all these can help you tell a great story!
"We were blow away. This guy has raised the bar on redemptive story telling and technical creativity." – T.C. Johnstone
"Thanks! Your video was all over the place last night. At least everytime I was nominated it was. It was a fun night." – Brandon Heath, Dove Award Winning Musician
"[Missionary Films] has become Haven Ministries' gold standard for video production. I hired them to accompany our ministry team on an overseas trip to shoot a promotional video for us. What they put together for us exceeded our expectations several times over. I give them my personal recommendation and will be hiring them the next time we need this type of work done for us" – David Wollen, COO Haven Today Radio.
"I manage the video department for Young Life and I've just got to say…well done. This captures the excitement and explains the method behind the madness that is YL camp in a captivating way. Beautifully shot, carefully edited. This shows the strength of a [camera] in the hands of an artful cameraman." – Dan Dyer, Young Life Video Services Manager
"For me, the beauty of the film falls into two areas: Quality of the raw footage, and insights in editing. Because you are so skilled technically in shooting video footage, your work has a unique "look" that sets it apart from other missions videos I've seen. And because you are so fluent in the world of missions already, you bring that understanding to your final production, and I think that makes all the difference." – John Ricards Ministry to Christian Nationals
"As always you take the art to new levels. Great job!" – Evan Davis, Dir. Shadowline Films for "Its A Girl" Documentary
[Missionary Films] "did a great job of creating a video of an important event we held in DC in 2008. He was able to capture the essence of what was needed from the raw footage and made the extra effort to bring in stock video to supplement what we provided. He has done other jobs for our organization and others have always been pleased with his work, too."- Shirley Beattie Administrator for EE International
"I have just spent the last hour thanking God and praying for our missionaries who you have so beautifully
documented on video. What an incredible gift you have been given. You have been able to represent
them in such a way that I can well imagine that every heart, like my own, wants to go and join them in
their efforts to draw people to the LORD. I have always prayed for our missionaries but never realized the full impact of what was happening. Getting to see your video just opened a whole new world for me."- Nancy Lupo, Catalina Foothills Church Prayer Team
"I've used it in a church missions conference (where people received it very well), and with our Board and Trustees groups. Our Europe directors have seemed especially pleased with it. A couple of times after seeing the video people have told me with surprise, 'I never knew that some countries don't have hardly any Christian literature by their own people.' So, the video seems to be a good awareness-raising tool. A few other people have said, 'Now, I finally understand what you do at MAI.'" – John Maust, President of Media Associates International
"I am a passionate artist who creates to experience glimpses of the Greatest Creator in everything I do!"
Official Bio: His award winning talent as a highly professional producer and cinematographer have taken him all over world creating documentaries, music videos, short films, corporate promos, wedding films and feature films. His body of work clearly shows his imagination and passion. At the heart, he is passionate about sharing great stories that take part in the greatest story ever told.

Kickstarting an iOS App, Part 2: Physical RewardsPosted on by Jason LaPorte
Dark Sky for iPhone and iPad was made possible through Kickstarter. In this series, we're talking about what we wished we knew when we started the project: previously, we looked at how we got our backers their digital rewards; in this second part of the series, we'll be talking about the process of getting our backers their physical rewards.
As mentioned in the previous article, all three of us at Dark Sky came from the world of web development, and if creating and releasing an iOS app was on the fringes of our realm of experience, creating and sending out physical rewards was completely off the map. The two physical rewards provided to our backers were silk-screened T-shirts and silk-screened umbrellas; getting these rewards to our backers was by far the most arduous part of the Kickstarter campaign, even considering the positively wonderful support given us by Design It Together, the local print studio that actually produced the rewards for us.
We got a late start on designing the T-shirts, because our goal for them was so straightforward: the Dark Sky icon in medium-gray on a dark gray background. We handed off our design to the print studio and expected things would go pretty quickly… and then we discovered that "asphalt" and "charcoal" are two different colors, and that the medium-gray ink shows up differently under varying lighting conditions, and that women's shirts print darker because of their denser weave, and so on; furthermore, each iteration involved several days of waiting simply due to logistics. In total, the process we expected to take a month ended up taking two-and-half, through no specific fault of any party.
After we had the rewards, we still had to ship them out to each of our backers. It seems that places like Amazon have spoiled us into thinking that shipping is cheap; in our experience, the cost of shipping is always much higher than you expect. We looked at every reputable carrier we could find, and in the end found that the United States Postal Service had the best domestic and international rates by far (via flat-rate priority mail boxes), but even then it cost us as much to ship the rewards as it did to have them made (and, in the case of international orders, up to three or four times as much).
USPS has a website from which you can order large quantities of flat-rate boxes — for free! — and have them delivered right to you (though, in our case, the boxes were held at the local post office since they believed a residential address ordering 250 flat-rate boxes was an error). There is a time investment involved in folding the boxes, folding the shirts, printing the shipping labels (which can also be done online) and affixing shipping labels to each; but this part of the process actually went faster than we expected and didn't factor significantly into the overall reward fulfillment time. After that, we only needed to wait on the postman to pick everything up.
(In our experience, while the post office sapped lots of our time and was generally unhelpful, we found that the two or three mail carriers that we interacted with were wonderful human beings, going out of their way to help us make the mailing process as easy as possible. If you ever find yours off-duty, buy them a drink!)
While we personally didn't actively have to invest much time and effort into producing the physical rewards, there was a lot of waiting and back-and-forth involved in both getting them made and mailing them; if we were to do this all again, we would get started on it immediately upon the project's successful backing and try to do as many parts of it in parallel as possible. We are also quite certain that, given the enormous cost of shipping, there has to be a better way; we'd do more research the next time around, and would encourage others to do so as well.

When you're looking into becoming a reseller of CD and DVD publishing systems – or anything else for that matter – you're going to want to make sure that you are prepared. Being prepared, for resellers, means looking into your options, looking at your propspects and making sure that you're making those decisions that will be best for your business:
(source) Understanding the customer's actual need, and finding out the factors that lead to that type of selection criteria, always help a reseller close the sell. The data obtained through the process, if carefully noted, help the reseller get ready for addressing the demand for the next such customer.
Let's look at this for resellers of CD and DVD publishing systems for a moment. When you're becoming a reseller, one of the things that you're going to want to understand is why your customers are going to be looking at the systems that you have to offer. You're going to want to know what they are looking for and you are going to want to know why it is that your system will fulfill their needs. You're also going to want to be sure that with each step forward you take within your business helps you to take another step the next time you have an opportunity.
Simply put, resellers are going to find that the more that they are able to do to prepare for the sale, the better the position they will be in to interact with their prospects and customers and to continually grow their businesses.

Hi Dr. Lam,
I'm a 22 year old female and I started IPL fraxel treatments August 2009 and ended April 2011 in the understanding it would heal four deep pitted acne scars I had on my forehead, I had 12 treatments. I had no idea the kind of danger I was getting myself into; the "spa dermatologist" was very friendly, told me insurance covered my pricing, and continued to schedule me for more treatments in 4 week intervals. However, now I have lost complete volume to my face, cheeks, eyes, and forehead in what I believe to be overall fat loss and very unelastic skin; everyone thinks I just lost weight. I am horrified and will never let laser touch my face again. In your experience is there anything medically I can do: are there gels to apply, supplements I can take, can I get fat grafts to restore my face or is it possible at my age that in a couple years the fat pads, collagen and skin will regenerate and grow back?? Please respond ASAP!

|Legal Services
Our legal services are targeted to individuals who need representation in DCFS administrative hearings and investigations in Illinois.
Our direct representation of individuals at hearings is limited to individuals whose cases are being heard in Cook County or collar counties. If you are calling about a case that is NOT in the state of Illinois, please be aware that we may be able to provide a referral but that we cannot advise or represent you.
If you are seeking legal assistance with a case in an area we do not generally handle, please try CARPLS, Illinois Legal Aid Online or the Illinois State Bar Association Lawyer Referral Service.
We charge sliding-scale fees for legal services. Our fees are determined based on your income and the size of your family. Families whose incomes are below 125% of the federal poverty guidelines are eligible for free or pro bono services and other clients may be eligible for partial fee reductions under our fee schedule. In order to have us determine the appropriate fees in each case, clients must complete the attached Affidavit of Assets and Liabilities and The Family Support Affidavit as well as the Prospective Client Information Sheet.
Even if your case does fall within our case acceptance guidelines, please be aware that we cannot give any individualized advice about your case without doing a screening by telephone, and no attorney-client relationship is created by your contact with our offices unless and until you are notified by our staff that your case has been accepted for representation by our legal staff. Fees for service following screening may be applied in accordance with our sliding scale fee schedule.
If you believe your case falls within the above guidelines and you are requesting legal assistance with a current legal matter, please call and leave a message with your name and telephone number on our Intake line at 312-251-9800 x18. Our office will return your call as soon as possible, and will proceed with your case based on our following 3-step intake process:
Step 1: Intake Forms
Our office will provide you with intake forms to fill out and return to us with your general information. The forms may be return to our office via fax, email, or mail. Additionally, you can skip this first step by paying a $25 fee over the phone by credit card, in which case our intake staff will take your information directly over the phone.
Step 2: Screening Phone Call
Once you have either returned the intake forms to our office or paid the $25 over-the-phone fee, a member of our intake staff will contact you to conduct a brief 10-15 minute interview to get your basic case information. Once this information is obtained, our intake staff will meet with a staff attorney to determine whether we may further consider assistance with your case, and if so, to determine further information that we will need from you concerning the details of your case.
Step 3: Full Intake
If our staff attorney decides that we need more information to consider representation for your case, our intake staff will contact you again for a more detailed interview, which should take about 30-40 minutes. Based on the information obtained during this interview, our legal team will conduct a careful merits assessment of your case. We will not be able to offer representation to all potential clients, and in addition we often cannot assist worthy individuals due to limited resources.

Okay, after my last post where I discussed waf, I've been pointed to cmake. This is what KDE4 will use, and is meant to be better than automake.

Colonel Meow sets record for world's longest fur
Updated On: Aug 31 2013 08:23:22 AM CDT
Meet Colonel Meow, a cat in Los Angeles whose fur has set a new world record at 9 inches long.
The 2-year-old Himalayan-Persian cross-breed already has a huge following online. He has his own website, a YouTube channel boasting more than 1.3 million views and even a Facebook page with almost 180,000 likes.
Now he's the holder of the Guinness World Record for longest fur, according to The Associated Press.
Los Angeles residents Anne Marie Avey and Eric Rosario came upon Colonel Meow at a Petco adoption event.
"It was an impulse purchase," Avey told the Los Angeles Times, adding, "He was actually left on the side of the road and then taken to a kill shelter."
The couple told Guinness they brush Colonel Meow's record-breaking fur three times a week.
And no, they don't use any hair products on it.
"Literally everything in the house has hair on it, including us. I feel like I'm always vacuuming," Avey told Guinness.

Volkswagen Eos New Owners' Reports
gadgetsv Posts: 1Bought my 2009 EoS Lux with 16K miles here in San Jose, very happy with the purchase, did the Krytox sunroof seal with the 3-pad VW wipes, so far so good (knock on wood). Car drives pretty well, takes a bit to get used to when launching it from red light, front tires will squeal if press on accelerator too hard. This is the fourth convertible I own, from a Miata to Peugeot 206cc to Peugeot 207cc and now this EoS (Was living overseas for quite some time). Have to say this EoS is the nicest convertible I have ever own. Just wish it had Xenon lights and back-up sensors and it would have been perfect.
nanreyn Posts: 11Just curious. Did you do the lubricate your seals yourself of did you have the dealer do it? I have my seals lubricated annually by the dealer since he has a special suport he used to suport the top while the seals are being wiped. I was led to believe it was too dangerous for me to do it.
Yes, the EOS generates a lot of torque when you hit the gas. It takes a gentle touch on the gas pedal.
vwtx05 Posts: 2I bought my '07 Eos with 40K miles as CPO 6 months ago and have had nothing but problems. The car has been in the shop every 3 to 4 weeks since the purchase - everything from leaks, driver window getting stuck, passenger window getting stuck (3 different times), check engine light, top getting stuck half-way down/up. I'm contemplating trading it in (wishing I would have kept my 2007 Jetta that was paid off!). The dealership has offered me $2k less than I paid for the car. Does anyone have any advice? Should I cut my loses and be done with the car? I have 4 years / 30K miles remaining on my warranty and I do love the car aside from the inconvenience of constantly driving to the dealership... not sure what to do!
tjcigar Posts: 8Hi Matthew,
I have my 2008 eos for 3 months now and have not had that tumping problem yet,hopefully never. But I do have water buildup in door wells, my sunroof only opens 3/4 of the way, is that normal? My brakes squeal on startup in the a.m. or any time the car has been idle for a few hours. Mechanic said the car is cold and will not do it after driving around a while. Love the car as well even with all it's little quirks, I imagine these quirks have been ironed out in the later models. What year is yours? I live in Stamford too and was wondering if you recommend Riverbank? I need a 30k maintenance done and everyone keeps telling me that VW dealer repairs will just rip me off. Sounds like you're not happy with Riverbank.
I'd love an update on what happened since I realize you left this message on here a few years ago.
Hi, i have a 6 month old eos and have had the same problem.... the roof got stuck in mid air and now volkswagen has said it is our fault and repairs will not be covered under the warranty. The dealership has had our car for a month triggering new york lemon law... Can you give us the name of the lawyer you contacted with experience in this area.... Thanks
ivanhoe1951 Posts: 1It is too early to tell...my lease on my 2008 EOS ended back in April. I gladly gave them the car back....
I would not take a chance on this car... Yes, when working properly, its a great car. My best guess is no on the roof and no on the oil issue...same roof parts and same engine. transmission problem and windows probably yes. the ignition issue is a toss-up.. If you can wait a few months, i would....either way best of luck
sk1064 Posts: 1I also have had what sounds like routine oil issues, I attributed it to the fact it was a Turbo. The dealer replaced the window when it got stuck soon after I purchased it, under warranty and now the seal around the convertible top on both the driver and passenger sides leaks when it rains. I live in Florida. Today, I found out that a coil went bad and it's going to cost around $300.00 to fix it, along with an oil and fuel filter change.
I have almost 120K miles on my 2007 and all things considered, a 4 seater, Turbo, both convertible and hard top. I had a Z06 convertible and a Solara before the EOS's came out. I absolutely love my "moms" convertible car and if I can get 250K on it, I plan on it. If not, I guess I will have to replace it with another EOS or like car, thinking the Lexus.

Example: Sarah wanted to have her condition treated quickly, so she went to a private consultant. During the consultation the doctor asked her to undergo a number of diagnostic tests that she was unaware she had to pay for. Although she now agrees that she had signed a form declaring that she would pay the cost of any tests conducted, she believes that many of them were unnecessary.
The Helpline receives a number of complaints from patients that have paid to be treated privately and only discover after their consultation that they are required to pay for any procedures carried out, such as blood tests.
Often patients will tell us that they feel the doctor treating them has deliberately conducted expensive tests.
If you wish to complain about private healthcare, you should ask the organisation/clinician treating you for their Complaints Procedure. The majority of private organisations are members of The Independent Healthcare Advisory Service (IHAS), which has a code of practice for handling patients' complaints. You can contact IHAS on 0207 3798598.

Antarctic Express: Crossing the Circle Itinerary
Embark on an adventure of a lifetime while crossing the Antarctic Circle. Discover South Shetland's King George Island, see an array of incredible wildlife and wander the incredible, icy shores of Antarctica.
- 11
Total price tool tip
- Polar, Wildlife
- Comfort
- i
Day 1 Punta Arenas
Travel to the southernmost town in Chile, Punta Arenas, and get ready for this icy adventure. Perhaps explore the city streets, climb La Cruz Hill for panoramic views or visit the nearby penguin colony before a trip briefing and welcome dinner in the evening.
ACCOM: Hotel - 1
Day 2 Embarkation
Be spared the unpredictability of the Drake Passage's waters by taking a scenic flight over them. Touch down on King George Island, the largest of the South Shetland Islands, and spend some time exploring the area. Experience the first of many Zodiac rides to the ship, a comfortable home for the next seven days.
ACCOM: Cruise ship - 1
Days 3-5 Antarctic Peninsula & South Shetland Islands
Wake to the first sighting of the incredible, icy mass that is Antarctica. Spend the next few days learning everything there is to know about this frosty continent and its inhabitants from onboard experts, and speed away in Zodiacs to feel the ice below your feet, marvelling at the colours and wildlife this magical land offers. As Zodiac landings are weather dependent, every day will be a shivery surprise!
ACCOM: Cruise ship - 3
Days 6-7 The Antarctic Circle
Raise a glass to the crossing of the Antarctic Circle, a feat achieved by very few people. Marvel at the breathtaking icebergs and ice formations that give off the most incredible hues of blue and white – they are seriously mesemerising – so be sure to have cameras at the ready. Weddell seals, cheeky penguins and a myriad of birdlife also call these waters their home, so be sure to have your eye-peeled for their antics.
ACCOM: Cruise ship - 2
Days 8-9 Antarctic Peninsula
Journey north along the western Antarctic Peninsula, heading towards the Drake Passage. Take twice-daily Zodiac trips to explore more of Antarctica's frozen landscape, and be on the look out for whales, seals and penguins swimming in the icy southern waters.
ACCOM: Cruise ship - 2
Day 10 Disembarkation
Return to King George Island, say goodbye to the crew and take to the skies over the formidable Drake Passage. Enjoy a final group meal in Punta Arenas, swapping stories and photos of this once-in-a-lifetime adventure.
ACCOM: Hotel - 1
Day 11 Punta Arenas
It's time to say farewell to Punta Arenas. Although… since Patagonia's so close, perhaps stick around and journey further north to explore the incredible national parks and landscapes of southern Chile.

Biber Architects of New York recently announced the groundbreaking of the USA Pavilion, "American Food 2.0: United to Feed the Planet", for the Milan World Expo in 2015. The US pavilion is one of 147 participating countries responding to the expo's theme, "Feeding the Planet, Energy for Life", which addresses global issues regarding food security, access and waste, and the challenging prospect of nutritiously feeding 9 billion people by 2050.

Highlighting America's role in the global food system, the barn-inspired pavilion includes features like a a harvestable vertical farm, food trucks, and a boardwalk.

Many in the art world were staggered by recent reports that the Italian curator Germano Celant is being paid €750,000 to organise a pavilion for the Milan Expo 2015. Celant's fee, and the incredulity it provoked, raises questions about how much curators are typically paid for organising biennials and large-scale international exhibitions. The Art Newspaper surveyed around 40 international curators and biennial organisers [...].

Here's another look at what to expect at the Milan Expo in 2015. As part of the Expo's Future Food District project, the Urban Algae Canopy shows the great potential of micro algae organisms for integrative greener, cleaner bio-digital architecture. London-based ecoLogicStudio designed the pavilion in collaboration with local architect Cesare Griffa.

Full-scale prototypes of the pavilion are currently being previewed at the INTERNI 'Feeding New Ideas for the City' exhibition at Cortile d'Onore, University of Milan, Festa del Perdono happening until April 18.

Once it's fully built, the canopy will be able to produce oxygen equivalent to 4 hectares of woodland and up to 150kg of biomass per day -- 60% of which are natural vegetal proteins.

Architects Bence Pap and Mario Gasser from Studio Lynn/University of Applied Arts IoA sent us their entry for the Austrian Pavilion competition for the 2015 Milan Expo. Pap and Gasser's collaborative proposal won 4th prize in the international, two-stage open competition.

The Austrian Pavilion by Chris Precht of penda and Alex Daxböck won first runner-up in an international design competition for the Expo 2015 in Milan. Inspired by the strong presence of organic and locally grown foods in Austria, Precht and Daxböck took a creatively literal and communal approach to the 2015 Expo's universal theme "Feeding the Planet, Energy for Life."

 Visitors are the true designers of the pavilion as they plant seeds of fruits, vegetables, or herbs in the gaps of its timber exterior during the summer months of the Expo. Once the crops are fully grown, they'll be harvested and cooked into traditional Austrian dishes in the pavilion's restaurant. In essence, visitors get to eat their design.

Broken water main blocks road
Updated On: Feb 05 2013 12:01:01 PM EST
Crews worked to fix a broken main on Mitchell Hammock Road early Tuesday morning.
The break forced officials to block a stretch of the roadway between State Road 434 and State Road 426.
One eastbound and one westbound lane of Mitchell Hammock Road was reopened at noon.
A detour was set up and drivers could use Chapman Road or Broadway Street as an alternate.
Meanwhile, a crash on southbound Semoran Boulevard was moved off the roadway near Old Cheney Highway. It did not create a roadblock.
Officials also reported a hit-and-run crash on Woodbury Road near East Colonial Drive.

The building dates from the late 17th or early 18th century. According to the Listed Buildings Register, it used to be called the George. It's reportedly also the building which used to be the Crown.
