To hear print providers tell it,
producing building wraps is a lot like climbing a mountain. You don't
start out on Everest. That would almost certainly be fatal. Instead, you
begin by struggling up the small hills before working your way up to the
pinnacle."Building wraps are not something you start out doing
when you invest in grand format printing," says Tom Wilhelm, president, GP

Celebrate Being
Many of the small print businesses we know are the
most creative marketers in the world. They celebrate being small by
focusing on the inherent advantages they have due to their size and
maneuverability-such as quick decision making, grassroots marketing, and a
very personal sales approach. They can quickly size up a customer's needs
and provide innovative approaches to fulfilling them, or find unique niche
products that nobody else locally has thought to provide. By using these
attributes to advantage, your print business can thrive when competing

"The parking lot was great! Someone was there as soon as we arrived to direct parking. It was clean and easily accessible when we came back that evening. We were able to get out of the parking lot very quickly."
"Good. Close to the stadium. Short walk."
"Easy in and out...nice, secure lor"
"It was an easy walk to the stadium. Attendants were very courteous and the lot was secure. Took maybe 5-10 minutes to get out to Collins and another 5 minutes to get to I-30. Would definitely stay here again. Walked 2 block and parking was $65 and no quicker getting out."
"Great Parking, although passed several lots closer that were actually cheaper, 30.00 one was a office building just like this one."
"It was a good experience. First time to the Cowboys AT&T stadium. Attendents were friendly and helpful. The walk was not far, I noticed a block closer the price jumped $15.00 and more. Was easy to get to and get out of. The only problem was once out of the lot expect to set for a while. The main road Collins had preference over the side road the lot was on. It wasn't a long wait, just didn't seem like the police directing traffic and the lights cared to much about the side streets. I would park there again."
We are a small quiet lot in front of Munson-Cox Studio. An attendant will be on site the entirety of the event keeping an eye on your vehicle from inside the building. Quick and easy access to I-30.
This location is a business.
We are 2 blocks from the Collins & Road to Six Flags intersection, just down the street from El Chicos across from Lincoln Square. The lot is in front of a brick building with a red Munson-Cox sign.

New York Festivals created the Torch Awards as part of our commitment to the development and promotion of the next generation of creative talent. We've harnessed the power, knowledge, and experience of our World's Best Advertising™ Executive Jury to not only promote the mission of Road Recovery, an important non-profit organization, but also to help young creatives learn one of the most difficult exercises in the advertising industry: the pitch.
Before the Finalist teams pitch their ideas to the jury panel and representatives from Road Recovery, they'll have the unparalleled opportunity to hone their presentation with an intensive work session with their mentor, a member of the Executive Jury and an industry super star, someone respected worldwide as a leader, as a creative with great ideas and talent. It's a lesson that will most certainly have long-reaching effects on a young creative's career.

Chris started life as a copywriter with FCB London in the early 1980s (true to popular advertising legend, his career actually began in the mailroom). His early years were spent cutting his teeth on TV commercials, and poster and press advertising for clients like The Daily Mail, Cadbury's, Dulux Paints, London Transport, British Airways and Heinz Foods.
In 1987, he accepted an offer to come and work in Hong Kong with Leo Burnett, where during his first year he created an acclaimed TV campaign for property developer Hong Kong Land which won 'Best TV Campaign for Asia' at the Media and Marketing Awards. Thus marking his arrival on the scene.
He then joined Grey Hong Kong where he became Executive Creative Director, creating some of Hong Kong's best known TV campaigns during the first half of the 1990s, helping build Grey's creative reputation locally, as well as serving as Chairman of the Hong Kong 4As Awards several times.
In 1997 he joined FCB Asia, and was soon posted to Singapore to help drive the newly formed office for FCB there. As FCB began to make its mark in award shows, Chris was appointed regional creative director for Asia, and was made a member of the worldwide creative board. He was also voted Singapore Ad Man of the Year in 2001, thanks to his efforts helping set up creative workshops for young people.
In 2002 he returned to Hong Kong for personal reasons, and after a brief spell twiddling his thumbs, joined Eight Partnership as a managing partner and Creative Director. During a 5 year spell, he helped develop Eight from being a relatively unknown small company into an award-winning brand communications agency with offices in Hong Kong and Beijing. Eight's 'MC Farmer' viral film for Nokia was one of the most talked-about pieces of work to emerge from China in recent years.
In 2010, Chris set up Kymechow, his own creative services agency in Hong Kong. With life in the old dog yet, Kymechow picked up a Gold and 4 Silvers for one of its regional Sun Life Financial short films at the 2012 Hong Kong 4As Creative Awards.
Chris is an active speaker and presenter at industry events in Asia, and a part-time Associate Professor at Hong Kong Polytechnic University where he helps train students looking to get into the industry. He has also been working on a book which charts the creative history of Hong Kong advertising.

These eleven words define our system of government, it is based on the "consent of the governed." Do you "consent" to Obamacare, abortion, NSA spying, and Common Core State Standards. Well, the "Give Me Liberty" Tour will inspire you to take your place in a long history of other patriots who said aloud, enough is enough! This is the time to restore liberty and you are a crucial part of it.
To continue doing the same things, expecting different results is the definition of insanity. Our national government is broken and cannot be fixed. It is futile to continue to pour our resources into Washington while we continue to get the same results--a bigger, more intrusive government that progressively shrinks our personal liberty. We are told the problems are racial (black vs. white), Republican vs. Democrat, and liberal vs. conservative. These are divisive and distracting labels, which are robbing us of our unity and power. The real crisis is tyranny and losing our liberty.
Have you not yet been to one of our events? Check out the videos below to see what you are missing ....
Recently the Give Me Liberty Tour was presented at the The Villages in Central Florida. The Villages event was recorded in full. Each weekend the tour is presented in different cities featuring different nationally known and acclaimed speakers. These events will continue through October of 2014. The videos below feature Art Ally, Janet Porter and Dr. Juan Torres. Please check out our calendar for an event and list of speakers near you (or even not so near). It will be worth the drive.

PT. Indonesia AirAsia (operating as Indonesia AirAsia) is a low-cost airline based in Jakarta, Indonesia. It operates scheduled domestic, international services and is an Indonesian associate carrier of Malaysian low-fare airline AirAsia. Its main base is Soekarno-Hatta International Airport, Jakarta.[3] Until July 2010, Indonesia Air Asia, along with many Indonesian airlines, was banned from flying to the EU due to safety concerns. However the ban was lifted on July 2010.[4] As of 15 April 2009, all AirAsia domestic flights from Jakarta started operating from terminal 3 but the international flights continues to operate from terminal 2D.[5] Prior to moving to T3, the airline flew from Terminal 1C. Indonesia AirAsia is listed in category 1 by Indonesian Civil Aviation Authority for airline safety quality.[6] In 2011, this 100 percent Airbus airline dominated international market in Indonesia by 41.50 percent.[7]
- As Awair
The airline was established as Awair (Air Wagon International) in 1999 by Abdurrahman Wahid, former chairman of the Nahdlatul Ulama Muslim organisation. He had a 40% stake in the airline which he relinquished after being elected president of Indonesia in October 1999. It started operations on 22 June 2000 with Airbus 300/310 aircraft, but all flights were suspended in March 2002. Awair started operating domestically within Indonesia as an associate of AirAsia in December 2004.
- As Indonesia AirAsia
On 1 December 2005, Awair changed its name to Indonesia AirAsia in line with the other AirAsia branded airlines in the region. AirAsia Berhad has a 49% share in the airline with Fersindo Nusaperkasa owning 51%. Indonesia's laws disallow majority foreign ownership on domestic civil aviation operations.
The company appointed CIMB Securities Indonesia and Credit Suisse Securities Indonesia as joint-lead underwriters for the 20 percent IPO in the fourth quarter 2011.[8]
A buy out of Batavia Air was announced on 26 July 2012. It was to be in two stages with AirAsia to buy 76.95% shares form Metro Batavia in a partnership with Fersindo Nusaperkasa (Indonesia AirAsia). By 2013, AirAsia was to acquire the remaining 23.05% held by other shareholders. The acquisition of Batavia Air by AirAsia Berhad and Fersindo created some controversy with Indonesian regulators at the time.[9]
By 11 October 2012 the deal between AirAsia Berhard, Fersindo Nusaperkasa (Indonesia AirAsia) and PT Metro Batavia had reversed.[10]
When the cancellation of the planned takeover between Batavia and AirAsia was announce on 11 October 2012 a joint statement was issued announcing a plan to proceed with an alliance encompassing ground handling, distribution and inventory systems in Indonesia. The statement also announced a plan to deliver operational alliances between Batavia and the Air Asia group.
Batavia and Indonesia Air Asia announced a plan to form a separate joint venture to provide a regional pilot training centre in Indonesia. No details were provided on that new alliance when it was announced in early October 2012.[11]

Girls basketball: Bishop Noll uses second-half push to top Andrean
BY BILLy EVANS Post-Tribune correspondent January 30, 2013 11:24PM
Updated: March 2, 2013 11:49AM
HAMMOND — Bishop Noll coach Vanita Gary remembers this rivalry all too well. The last time Andrean was beaten by the Warriors, Gary was in a jersey.
Wednesday, the Class 2A state ranked Warriors found a way to win a battle over Andrean, 54-49.
It was obvious that Bishop Noll was disappointed with itself at the end of the first and second quarters. Andrean (7-15) took the lead early with the help of junior Brenna Boyle, who finished with a game-high 19 points and 12 rebounds.
The 59ers kept pushing to keep the momentum going into halftime. Bishop Noll struggled but, with the help of Elena Sobilo's five points, went into the half tied 24-24.
Gary went into the locker room and saw the disappointment. She told the team, "Calm down. We need to stop playing like we are behind and start playing like we have all season."
Gary suggested that the change in play had much to do with the team's "second half pressure turned up on defense."
Bishop Noll came out of the locker room and put up 18 points in the third quarter to take a commanding lead. Julia Kusiak scored seven points in the third.
"This was our last home game and we knew we needed to take the momentum of a big second half into the sectional," she said.
Elena Sobilo collided head-to-head with Madison Lesch (who scored 10), injuring both players, though Lesch later returned. From then on Bishop Noll took control behind senior Asya Hobbs and freshman Naomi House.
"Our second-half defense, crashing the boards, and more passes before shots on offense saved us in this game," said Hobbs, who scored six in the fourth quarter.
Bishop Noll enters the sectional with a 19-2 record overall and a GSSC Conference Championship under its belt.

Well, I just tried doing a little pruning in my lady garden. It had a been a while and that bush was out of control! I had to do it mostly by feel and missed a huge patch on the side. Oops! I'll have to take a hand mirror and my glasses in the shower next time.
Is anyone else still grooming or have you given it up? I wish I could afford to get waxed!
Way too much TMI to follow... lol
I was just going to 'let it go' since it seemed like such a chore to take care of... but then we started perineal massage and things got uncomfy fast. The extra hair has actually started to tangle a bit from the oil and since I'm usually well-maintained the 'new me' has felt itchy, dirty, and annoyed for far too long.
First, I took trimming scissors to the area... I was in the bathroom for a good half hour. DH knocked and asked if I was okay. When I explained what I was doing, he said, "But you can't see it! It's going to look like Edward Scissorhands cut it!" He was totally right. Remember that lady's hair, short in some places and long in others? Yeah.
Then, I tried to shave. Lets just say the hot water ran out in the shower before I made any genuine progress. I'm hoping I can squeeze in a bath this weekend to finally finish the job. I am determined to reclaim my vaj-j!!
I'm not brave enough for waxing... especially since the real problem is more in the, um, 'sensitive' portion. lol
I am uncomfortable enough, I will not be waxing or sugaring until all this is over. I will trim as needed but honestly when necessary is becoming less and less. I guess it's just not a big deal for me right now. My husband couldn't care less either way.
EDIT I kept things perfect with my first son but I let them go completely with my second. Doctors honestly didn't care either way. I figured this time I figure it out as it ocmes.
Sydney0130:Making like a Brazilian. It's just way to hard to shave or trim. I'll take the pain of a wax over a labia bleed from a razor or scissors any day.
My spa is relaxing, too, so I look at it as a bonus hour to myself.
The title of this really made me laugh. I am considering a Brazilian. I have never had one but trying to shave is just ridiculous and i really don't enjoy feeling like a man. My SO offered to do it for me, but honestly that terrifies me. lol
I read that you shouldn't get a Brazilian for the first time ever during pregnancy because severe pain can cause a lot of stress for the baby, but i have a pretty high pain tolerance. Anyone else heard this?
This--> http://www.amazon.com/Panasonic-ES246AC-Bikini-Shaper-Trimmer/dp/B00005JS5C/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1359775045&sr=8-1&keywords=Bikini+trimmer
Seriously. You won't regret it. I set it to the second to lowest setting and go until I no longer see hairs falling. Then, I go to the lowest setting and tackle the invasives that have spread to my legs. Wtf is up with having that much hair?
jennyandjasonsbaby:I gave up on trying to trim and I shaved the whole damn thing off, now it's smooth as a baby's tooshy! I hate to think of how it's going to feel when it starts to grow back in, but at least for now, it looks nice down there, LOL.

Most men in Egypt smoke all the time everywhere. Inside cars, buses, restaurant, taxi, elevator, hotels lobby and Hotel rooms. All the staff in Milano smoked, and smoked constantly. The smell of cigarette smoke would sip under my door and I would have to smell the cigarette smoke of the night staff through out the night. After two days, I gave up and left. AWIFI was good close to the lobby, but further inside the hotel the connection was poor to nonexistent.

Not impressed! Though the staff there tried to be helpful, but I felt that I was not treated fairly nor honestly! I will leave it this way, and will not recommend this hotel to anyone.

What do you do on the day before doomsday? If you're one of the superheroes in this comic, you talk. A lot.
Geo Force talks to Black Lightning about his plan to kill Deathstroke, the man who corrupted his sister and put her on the road to death. Then he speaks to Challenger of the Unknown Rocky Davis about the same thing. Outsider Grace also talks to Rocky, about her lack of a belief system. Rocky talks to Black Lightning about Geo Force.
Why is everyone talking to Rocky, suddenly? Because despite more than 50 years of comic book life, we never knew that when not challenging the unknown, he's running a superhero confessional. He sits there, unseen by them, and acts as priest.
I really wish I were making this up. Brad Meltzer did. He also made up Grace's lack of belief in the existence of Hera and other godly types. That's Grace who is a member of the Bana tribe, sisters of the Paradise Island Amazons who were, er, created by Hera and her kind.
Why is everyone so chatty? Because this issue takes place the night before they expects the world to end. They expect this because Clark Kent told them so. How will it end? They don't quite know. Hmm, doesn't that sound like an Unknown worth challenging?
Nah, not when, like Starfire, you could hang around the grave of the Flying/Falling Graysons and hope Nightwing turns up (Titans communicators apparently aren't working, perhaps to do with the lack of electricity mentioned by Brion). She reckons 'He always comes here. Like everyone else on a night like tonight . . .' It seems there have been previous End of Everything Eves, and Dick had nothing better to do than stand by your grave.
My memory must be going. Last time the DCU was in major schtum I recall Nightwing, Starfire, Black Lightning and chums actually trying to do something about it. Meltzer tries to get round this here by having Brion tell us that 'This time, there's nothing to punch.'
So what, the heroes just sit round on their arses, waiting for the monsters to come and get them? They don't actually try anything? Maybe an investigation? I heard tell Dick Grayson wasn't bad at that.
So where's Dick? He's gone to Gotham City to have fun swooping down into alleys on batlines with Tim and Bruce, for old times' sake, perhaps. We're not told why. Batman, the man with the plan, has no plan.
Wonder Woman, meanwhile, is following ancient Greek tradition by burying coins, with Donna Troy. Well, that was the idea; Donna is burying her wedding ring, apparently under the impression that dead hubby Terry Long is out there somewhere, to come back to. Poor dumb Donna.
And all over the DCU heroes are hugging and, in one case, shagging.
JLA leader Black Canary has a plan, we're told; she's gathering an army of heroes for the following day. Why act now when you can spend time tracking down 'the last members of Primal Force'? (I'm guessing this takes place just before the gathering of heroes in Final Crisis 3, though we're told that's the result of Alan Scott's superhero draft rather than Dinah Lance. Answers on a postcard . . .)
Not that we see this. We do see Black Lightning invite Geo Force for a last supper with his family - no doubt the wielder of the black lightning is on barbecue duty.
Brion declines, he has places to go, villains to kill. Oh, and obits to write - he tells us he's written his obituary for the world to see . . . that's the world he doesn't believe is going to be around in a day or two.
Silly old Brion. Off he goes to make a right pig's ear of killing Deathstroke, his big idea being to take down Slade Wilson in the alley where the latter slit son Jericho's throat (if only he'd sliced off that perm). But Slade is prepared - remember, this is the guy Meltzer had take down most of the JLA in about a page, back in Identity Crisis. That was convincing.
Here, against just one hero, his initial success is more believable, as he used Brion's true super-power - infinite stupidity - against him. At the start of this book we're told Brion is more powerful than ever. Rocky notes that he inadvertently moves Challengers Mountain three inches when he gets emotional. So does the man with the power of the earth upload a mini-mountain on Deathstroke's head? Nah, after Deathstroke jumps out of the way of a three-way fisting, he just stands there on a floating rock and tries talking him to death. Finally, hero and villain clash and, his power neutered, Brion slits his own throat, to get close enough to Deathstroke to gut him with his own sword. In a powerful page the two lie there, dead.
Or not. Both survive. Here's a great chance to have a D-list hero die decently while taking out the Mary Sue of the villain world, and does Meltzer take it? Does he heck. Deathstroke will fight another day and Brion lies on a hospital bed, ashamed that he's letting Black Lightning misinterpret the fight.
Clark, meanwhile, is sitting on a swing with Pa Kent, being miserable. He's telling Pa how great a job he did in raising him to do good, while doing precisely nothing (well, apart from disappearing from the bench for the odd panel - hey, he was blocking our view of Pa).
The only fella who does a good deed in this wrongheaded comic is Len Snart, Captain Cold. He stops another bad guy from assaulting a store owner.
Thank God, then, for Hal Jordan, who turns up on the final page, all gung ho and ready for battle - an actual hero rather than a loser.
The closest this nonsense comic has to a saving grace is the artwork of Adam Kubert, Joe Kubert and John Dell (I'm guessing he inked Adam, please correct me as necessary). Adam's stuff is powerful, and I enjoyed it, but his father's work is simply mythic, possessing the easy grace of a legend. The face of Captain Cold alone is a masterclass in providing character through line.
As for Meltzer's script, it reads convincing. Statements are made which seem right for the situation, but they really only work if you believe the heroes of the DCU have been replaced by a legion of losers. There's plenty of melodrama, but not enough drama that can be held up to the light.
If this is truly the last will and testament of the DC heroes I'd rather they died intestate.

Political analyst speaks about San Diego Mayor Bob Filner's leadership style
SAN DIEGO - Even before Bob Filner was elected mayor of San Diego, his opponents criticized his sometimes aggressive behavior. Is this what the mayor's office needs or could it undermine progress?
"I think early on he may be trying to establish that he will not be an easy pushover," said political analyst Carl Luna, Ph.D.
Filner certainly did not back down last week. He confronted San Diego City Council President Todd Gloria, saying, by city rules, the two needed to come to an agreement on certain government appointments and that he wanted to deal with it then and there.
Gloria, saying he was happy to resolve the issue, told Filner, "Mr. Mayor, I'm sorry. I'm running the council meeting at this time."
Filner responded, "Then give it to somebody else to run."
The two left the meeting for 30 minutes, came back with no agreement and then resolved their differences days later.
Also last week, Filner said he would take on City Attorney Jan Goldsmith for prosecuting local marijuana dispensaries. Goldsmith said all Filner had to do to make it stop was put it in writing, which Filner did.
None of this, Luna says, is cause for alarm.
"Because the mayor has a different leadership style does not necessarily mean he's going to be less effective than previous mayors," Luna said.
Filner's hard-charging style was the subject of his opponent's attack ads during the campaign.
"Bob Filner was Bob Filner before the election," said Luna. "Now, he's Bob Filner after the election."
The party affiliation of the person on the receiving end does not seem to matter. Gloria is a fellow Democrat.
"Mayor Filner is able to unite beyond partisan lines that he can annoy people on both sides of the spectrum," said Luna.
Is there any downside to Filner's leadership style?
"The mayor does not want his early narrative to become animosity with the city council, so the mayor has a window of opportunity to learn to deal with the council and vice versa before it becomes a major source of public debate," said Luna.
He said Filner's style works on Capitol Hill where it is harder to get attention but as mayor, he will be more closely scrutinized here.

Detailed Product Specifications
Customer Reviews For Benchmade Knives: Aluminum Anodized Pen 1100 02
This casing on this pen is first off, top notch. It is extremely sturdy and doesn't scratch/bend/chip/flake/dent. I can definitely see how this is made to be rugged. However, the real kicker with this pen is the ink. I swear that this pen can work in almost any situation. I've tested it upside down, on greasy paper, on moist paper and in a variety of other circumstances. Regardless of the conditions the ink still flows totally fine. The only downside to this pen is the weight - I wouldn't want to write papers upon papers with it in succession, however this is a minor complaint given what else the pen has to offer!
The pen writes rather nicely out of the box (I'm sure you can find various other refills to suit your need), although it's a bit too heavy for writing an essay - for that I prefer a lighter pen, like the Pilot Precise V5 RT (my every day choice of pen).
Best thing about this pen is, it's 100% legal to carry anywhere. You can even take it with you past TSA security checks.
I just placed my first order with your company and am impressed with the quick and just-right-amount of communication. I found the website to be user friendly and I was able to navigate around without being a computer genius."

This small but very tight rock and pop club (sctrictly no electro music) really is worth queuing for. You head down some stairs just next to the kebap shop and arrive in a cellar, where a dance floor, a bar and a constantly overcrowded smoker's room waits for some serious rock 'n roll with you. Gentlemen, start your engines!
Admission around 20Sfr, Wed & Thu free until midnight.

Back in March, a woman named Anna Gristina was arrested for allegedly running a whorehouse out of an East 78th Street apartment, with plans to go global. In that time, we've learned a good bit about Gristina (who goes by Anna Scotland professionally), who currently remains incarcerated on Riker's Island. For instance, at the time of her arrest, she was meeting with a friend and broker who was supposedly helping her line up financing to expand the venture (which she maintains was an upscale dating site), she paid her hookers well, and she was an animal lover. Emphasis on the past tense because apparently anyone can be an animal lover until push comes to shove and mommy needs money for legal fees. Then it's good-bye lush accommodations upstate, hello slaughterhouse. Read more »

Facebook 'Friends' Find Unimaginably Cruel Way To Kick Kweku Adoboli When He's DownBy Bess Levin
As the users of Mark Zuckerberg's poking machine among us can attest, there are many things you can expect from your Facebook friends. You can expect that they'll keep you abreast of every insignificant moment of their entire lives. You can expect that they'll post public affirmations about being "stronger than this" following a break-up or a shitty lunch. You can expect that, when taking a trip, they'll let you know the flight number, when they're on the way to the airport, going through security, sitting at the gate**, waiting to take off, defying the request to power down their phone, losing said battle, touching down on the runway, waiting for their bags and still thinking about the person across the aisle who gave them a weird vibe. You can expect that they'll upload countless photos of their trip with at least one set devoted to posing (alone) on the beach like they're shooting the god damn Sports Illustrated swimsuit edition, having forced their travel companion to play photog. You can expect that they'll assume you want to be friends with their household pet. You can expect that they'll ask you to send positive thoughts into the universe when said pet when it comes down with a common cold.
As a card-carrying member of Facebook, UBS trader Kweku Adoboli was aware of the social contract one enters when becoming friends with people on the 'book and held up his end of the bargain, dutifully 'liking' the status messages of friends forced to sit through 30-minute delays at Heathrow and keeping his fingers crossed that Mr. Fluffernutterbigglesworthjosecanseconiner would recover soon. Which is why it must have stung pretty badly when, after all he's done for his so-called friends, they couldn't toss him one bone and help him out of a tight spot. Read more »
In September 2009, Deutsche Bank employee Victoria Huxter's colleague, Ian Whittaker, asked her if she'd like to adopt his family's dog, a lab named Bailey. Whittaker and his wife, an apparently irresponsible woman named Leslye, hadn't realized having two dogs (plus a horse) would be a lot of work and wanted to get rid of one, like yesterday's trash. Huxter accepted and immediately fell in love with the pup, who she renamed Bella, finding it "more suitable for a female." About two seconds later, Mrs. Whittaker realized she'd made a terrible mistake in abandoning her fur baby and demanded the dog back, thinking things work that way. When the Huxter declined, Leslye called the cops, who told her she was crazy and the dog was no longer hers. Still pissed about the situation nearly two years later, the couple recently proceeded with a rationale course of action that involved hiring a pet detective, who lured Bella's walker to a park, where he stole the dog and had a camera crew film the entire thing.

text: Being the partner of a transgendered/transsexual (TG/TS) individual can be daunting, but it's worth every moment. TG/TS individuals are PEOPLE just like you and I. They are not simply the walking, talking definition of a legitimately recognized disorder, nor are they "diseased" in any way by being TG/TS. They are not contagious. You cannot "catch" transsexualism or choose to "become" transgendered - you're either born this way, or not. No choice - it's a product of that individual's fetal development - no infection, no decision-making there. Not knowing why you are the person that you KNOW you are is the worst of all birth defects. You can't see it - you know it in your soul but no one understands because to them, you look fine. They cannot see your soul. You are trapped in a body that grew what it should not, and did not grow where it should.

Bold and Brilliant: 5 New Ways to Use Steak Sauce
Steak sauce doesn't only have to be used on one big, thick piece of steak. Try some of our inventive new ideas for ways to use this tried-and-true sauce in your own kitchen (even if you don't eat meat at all!).
If you prefer to stick to the classics (which is just fine with us), try some of our most flavorful steaks.
A.1. Chili
Ground beef, spices, and classic A.1. steak sauce make for an easy but mouthwatering chili. For a vegetarian twist that even meat-lovers can enjoy, swap the ground meat for more beans use a mix of different varieties, like black beans, red kidney beans, and pinto beans, for an even more complex flavor.

Campagnolo Chorus 11 Ultra-Shift Ergopower Shifters $395.00
Campagnolo Chorus 11 Ultra-Shift Ergopower Shifters are the Clark Kent of ergo levers. Behind the pedestrian name is a super-hero of a shifter. These levers don't have the cutouts on the brake lever blades, but with that exception, these levers are identical to Record, and they're a claimed 10g lighter than the previous generation.
Chorus 11 Ergo shares the improved body material, a long-fiber reinforced polyamide that is lighter (this is where most of the 10g savings comes from), yet 8% stronger and able to withstand more than double the impact that the previous lever was able to take. It has the same ball-bearing shifting mechanism for super-smooth shifts. They've also improved the ratcheting mechanism in the right lever, along with tweaking the cable routing so the shifting is faster and the cable housing running under the hoods disappears under your hands. For the left lever, they've also improved the cable routing and optimized the mechanism for use with the new front derailleur design. Here, too, you'll have a hard time noticing the housing as it transitions into the lever, and the improved position should make shifting both lighter feeling and faster.
As with all Ultra-Shift levers, you can affect up to three cogs on the downshift and five cogs on the upshift for the rear derailleur, and you'll have the precisely-indexed up and down sweep on the front derailleur. Also of note are the new graphics, conveying a bolder image, and that Campagnolo has designed accessory hoods and cable housing, in Red and White, that you can purchase if you want to make your levers even more distinctive. In all three colors, you're looking at Vari-Cushion silicone rubber hoods—as the name indicates they're made with varying densities of silicone to both maximize comfort and durability.
The Campagnolo Chorus 11 Ultra-Shift Ergopower Shifters come with carbon-fiber brake blades, a shift lever underneath, and a shift button on the side of the lever body. Included with the levers is a shim you can place under the hoods to bulk-up the levers if your big mitts find the levers a tad small. Black dual-density brake hoods, Black cable housing and a full complement of Campagnolo cables come with the levers.

Awesome Shifters
- Familiarity: I've used it once or twice and have initial impressions
I love these shifters, they work with record and super record but are way cheaper. A good way to save money if you want to do a high end campy build. What I love most about these shifters is the ability to do multiple shifts up AND down the cassette which is pretty unique and definitely a nice thing to have.

If you're not asking yourself, who is the Mayor of FourSquare for my small busines, you may want to start, as there could be a great marketing opportunity in it for you. FourSquare likes people to think of them as an "urban mixtape". FourSquare allows users to check-in at their favorite local hangouts. When connected with friends on FourSquare, your check-ins allow your friends to know your whereabouts. It also shows them some of your favorite places, which may entice them to meet you there or go try the place on their own. Many different types of businesses, like cafes, bars, restaurants, parks, gyms and more, can take advantage of FourSquare's service.
UPDATE: Download our new FREE eBook: How to Use Foursquare to Grow Your Business
As a business owner, you are probably starting to see the power of FourSquare for business. The more people you get to "check-in" at your local business, the better. Basically those customers who check-in at your local business on FourSquare, just helped you market your business. The cost to you, $0.
A key to FourSquare immortality is becoming the Mayor of a local business. The more a person continually checks-in at a local business, the better his or her chances are at becoming the mayor of that business. With that said, we do live in America, the land of possibilities, so if you're not careful, another local patron can come in and steal your Mayor title out from under you. That happens only if another person starts checking-in at the local business, for which you're the Mayor, more than you do.
As a business owner, there is a HUGE potential marketing campaign that you can run through FourSquare. Call it "Election Night" or "Vote for Our FourSquare Mayor". The goal should be to get as many of your current customers as possible, along with new customers, to begin checking-in on FourSquare EVERY TIME they come to your business. The goal for customers is to become the Mayor of your small business. In order to entice customers to participate, you should come up with a remarkable offer for the winner.
Since Mayor-ship can change hands frequently, you should put a time limit on the promotion. You could run it 3x a year and whoever the mayor is on X date, is the winner. Perhaps the winner receives a big party at your store in their honor. They can bring friends/family for a free night of food and drinks. If you're a travel agency, perhaps you can offer the winner a free set of plane tickets somewhere. Whatever the offer is, it should be something that your customers find valuable. This will entice them to participate, along with spreading your promotion to their friends and family.
When it comes to promoting this new marketing campaign, use your other online social tools, like your company blog, Facebook fan page, LinkedIn account, and Twitter. Get the word out to as many people as possible. You may even want to reach out to some local media outlets, as a promotion like this, could garner interest from them – FYI Twitter is a great place to connect with local media personnel. Also use your store to promote the campaign. Perhaps you want to spend a few bucks and print a big in-store billboard for the program and then provide a URL to your blog for customers to learn more. There are countless ways that you can get the word out about your FourSquare promotion, you just have to get creative.
FourSquare is a great new tool for small businesses. There are a lot of creative things that you can do with FourSquare to help drive sales for your small business. The costs for a program like this, except for maybe the incentive, are very small. You can definitely pull this off. So with that said, who's the FourSquare Mayor for your small business?

Aston Villa boss Paul Lambert and Norwich have agreed a settlement over their dispute regarding his departure from Carrow Road.
Lambert and Norwich were both suing each other for breach of contract and the issue was due to go before a Premier League tribunal next month, but it has now been resolved.
The Scot left Norwich in the summer after three successful years in which he led the Canaries to successive promotions and 12th place in the Premier League.
Lambert has always believed he did nothing wrong in the sense he was entitled to talk to any interested clubs.
Villa were also adamant that they acted in a proper manner and would have met the terms of Lambert's contract.
The two clubs issued a statement on Sunday evening which read: "Paul Lambert, Norwich City and Aston Villa have agreed settlement in respect of the dispute regarding Paul Lambert's departure from Norwich City.
"Villa will pay Norwich City the original amount as agreed in the contract between Paul Lambert and Norwich City, and Norwich City will pay Paul Lambert the bonus he was entitled to after completion of the 2011/12 season.
"This represents a final settlement of all claims and disputes between the parties. No further comment will be made."
Lambert had been upset when Norwich chairman Alan Bowkett made the dispute public at a fans' forum earlier this season and claimed he had left all of his previous clubs in a similar manner.
But Lambert said before the recent Capital One Cup quarter-final between the clubs that he hoped agreement could be reached in the dispute and that has now happened.

We've talked about why using baking soda in your cloth diaper wash can be beneficial and now we are going to tackle the question about distilled white vinegar. Please note, I did NOT say apple cider vinegar ... which is not to be used unless you want your diapers to become discolored or dingy.
Vinegar is an acid and neutralizes alkaline substances, making it an effective ingredient in your cloth diaper laundry. Vinegar inactivates any soap or detergent residue left over in your diaper wash. It is also a benefit to those in hard water areas as it can eat away at calcium, lime and other alkaline deposits on your cloth diaper fibers.
Vinegar is safe enough to use against a baby's skin, but tough enough to cut through bacteria - and even grease and oils. Hopefully there isn't any grease or oil in your cloth diaper laundry, but there is plenty of odor! Vinegar deodorizes as it destroys odor producing bacteria.
So, let's recap what vinegar can do for your cloth diaper wash.
Vinegar ...
An environmentally friendly alternative to so many other expensive, highly marketed products, vinegar is the earth-friendly, frugal family's choice for the cloth diaper wash.

Ballyshannon - Donegal - old photo
circa 1910
Ballyshannon lies at the mouth of the river Erne. Just west of the town the Erne widens and its waters meander over a long sandy estuary. The northern bank of the river rises steeply away from the riverbank, while the southern bank is flat with a small cliff that runs parallel to the river.
Photo Details
Ballyshannon (Béal Átha Seanaidh in Irish) is a town in County Donegal, Ireland. It is located where the N3 and N15 roads cross the River Erne.Location
Ballyshannon lies at the mouth of the river Erne. Just west of the town the Erne widens and its waters meander over a long sandy estuary. The northern bank of the river rises steeply away from the riverbank, while the southern bank is flat with a small cliff that runs parallel to the river.History
During the 12th century an order of the Cistercians were to be found living in Ballyshannon. Remains of the old mill can still be found there thanks to the restoration work carried out by the Abbey Mills Restoration Trust.
Ballyshannon is claimed to be the oldest town in Ireland, receiving Royal Charter in 1613. The town is a British garrison town and the building hosting the garrison can be found at the Erne bridge.
A hydroelectric power station was built in the town in the 1950s. This involved building a dam upriver from the town at Cathleen's Falls and digging out a deep channel to lower the riverbed through the town to increase the head of water at the dam in order to drive the turbines. Before the station was built, the river was wide, and the water level much higher than it is today. A long bridge spanned from the northern shore to the 'port' on the southern bank. The waters spilled over a number of waterfalls, among them Cathleen's Falls, before meandering out to sea. Today, however, the river runs through a narrow channel, far below the level of either bank and a narrower single arch bridge has replaced the old one. The newly buit Ballyshannon-Bundoran bypass has added a new, more modern bridge over the river. A pedestrian bridge was also constructed to mark the millennium.Local attractions
