API domains_domain_add
hi, I want to add a domain using the remote API.
But when I use the example and change the $client_id to a existing clientid. The domain is added but there is no client attached to it.
Are there other API I need to call, to add a domain to client from the API.
When I login afterwards as admin I can't edit this domain to attach it to user.
thanks in advance

Our Giant Banking Crisis—What to Expect
This Time Is Different: Eight Centuries of Financial Folly
World Economic Outlook, April 2009: Crisis and Recovery
World Economic Outlook, October 2009: Sustaining the Recovery
Lately, the big concern roiling financial markets has been fear of Greek default. The risks seem obvious: Greek government debt is at levels that have historically signaled deep trouble for middle-income nations, and debt is still rising rapidly thanks to a large deficit. Meanwhile, Greece is suffering a severe recession in large part because costs have gotten far out of line with the rest of Europe. And one more thing: Greece has a long history of default—in fact, the nation has been in arrears on its debt for half its modern history.
Yet as recently as last September, nobody seemed worried. Credit default swaps on Greek debt—insurance against a possible default—were fairly cheap; Greece was able to borrow at only modestly higher interest rates than that paragon of fiscal rectitude, Germany. Why were investors so complacent? The answer was that almost everyone believed that historical precedents were irrelevant. Greece was now part of Europe, and even more important, since 2001 part of the eurozone—sharing a currency with its more affluent neighbors. And that changed everything. Except that it didn't.
The Greek crisis came after the publication of This Time Is Different: Eight Centuries of Financial Folly, by Harvard's Kenneth Rogoff and the University of Maryland's Carmen Reinhart, but it was a dramatic illustration of the point they make with their sarcastic title: the more things change in the financial world, the more they stay the same. The Greek debt crisis of 2010 bears a strong resemblance to the Mexican debt crisis of 1827; inflation in Zimbabwe is just the latest episode in a history of currency debasement that goes back to ancient Greek city-states; and last but not least, the US subprime crisis of 2008 followed the script of scores of banking crises past, going back at least as far as eighteenth-century Scotland.
From an economist's point of view, there are two striking aspects of This Time Is Different. The first is the sheer range of evidence brought to bear. Reading Reinhart and Rogoff is a reminder of how often economists take the easy road—how much they tend to focus their efforts on times and places for which numbers are readily available, which basically means the recent history of the United States and a few other wealthy nations. When it comes to crises, that means acting like the proverbial drunk who searches for his keys under the lamppost, even though that's not where he dropped them, because the light is better there: the quarter-century or so preceding the current crisis was an era of relative calm, at least among advanced economies, so to understand what's happening to us one must reach further back and farther afield. This Time Is Different ventures into the back alleys of economic data, accepting imperfect or fragmentary numbers as the price of looking at a wide range of experience.
The second distinguishing feature is the absence of fancy theorizing. It's not that the authors have anything against elaborate mathematical modeling. Professor Rogoff's influential 1996 book Foundations of International Macroeconomics, coauthored with Maurice Obstfeld, contains literally hundreds of fairly abstruse equations. But This Time Is Different takes a Sergeant Friday, just-the-facts-ma'am approach: before we start theorizing, let's take a hard look at what history tells us. One side benefit of this approach is that the current book manages to be both extremely useful to professional economists and accessible to the intelligent lay reader.
The Reinhart-Rogoff approach has already paid off handsomely in making sense of current events. In 2007, at a time when the wise men of both Wall Street and Washington were still proclaiming the problems of subprime "contained," Reinhart and Rogoff circulated a working paper—now largely subsumed into Chapter 13 of This Time Is Different—that compared the US housing bubble with previous episodes in other countries, and concluded that America's profile resembled those of countries that had suffered severe financial crises. And sure enough, we had one too. Later, when many business forecasters were arguing that the deep recession would be followed by a rapid, "V-shaped" recovery, they circulated another working paper, largely subsumed into Chapter 14, describing the historical aftermath of financial crises, which suggested that we would face a prolonged period of high unemployment—and so we have.
So what is the message of This Time Is Different? In a nutshell, it is that too much debt is always dangerous. It's dangerous when a government borrows heavily from foreigners—but it's equally dangerous when a government borrows heavily from its own citizens. It's dangerous, too, when the private sector borrows heavily, whether from foreigners or from itself—for banks are basically institutions that borrow from their depositors, then make loans to others, and banking crises are among the most devastating shocks an economy can face.
Yet people—both investors and policymakers—tend to rationalize away these dangers. After any prolonged period of financial calm, they either forget history or invent reasons to believe that historical experience is irrelevant. Encouraged by these rationalizations, people run up ever more debt—and in so doing set the stage for eventual crisis. (One odd omission by Reinhart and Rogoff, by the way, is their failure to mention the late Hyman Minsky, a heterodox economic thinker who made a similar argument and is now experiencing a renaissance in influence.)
Debt-driven crisis can take a variety of forms. There are sovereign debt crises, in which investors lose faith in the ability and/or willingness of governments to fulfill their financial obligations. There are inflationary crises, which happen when governments turn to the printing press either to pay their bills or to inflate away the real value of their debts. There are banking crises, in which people lose that trust in private-sector promises that is essential to a fully functioning market economy. And all of these afflictions are often associated with currency crises, in which speculation leads to a sharp fall in a currency's value in terms of other currencies.
What we're in the middle of right now is what Reinhart and Rogoff call the "second great contraction"—a giant banking crisis afflicting both sides of the Atlantic, with effects that have spilled over to the entire world. The first great contraction was, of course, the Great Depression. In the past, banking crises have often led to sovereign debt crises as well, since banking collapses depress the economy, reducing government revenue, at the same time that they often require large outlays to rescue the financial system. Greece may be only the first of many stories of troubled governments; most obviously, Spain, Portugal, and Italy are all in some danger.
It's worth noting, as an aside, that the Reinhart-Rogoff interpretation of the Great Depression is, implicitly, a critique of other interpretations—most notably, Milton Friedman's famous claim that the Depression was fundamentally a failure of monetary policy, which could easily have been avoided if only the Fed had prevented a fall in the money supply. Although This Time Is Different doesn't provide an extensive discussion of events leading up to the Depression, it's easy to confirm from other sources that the late 1920s looked very much like the prologue to other severe financial crises: irrational exuberance in the stock market, a surge in household debt, and an ever more overextended banking system. There was even a real estate bubble in Florida, memorialized by the Marx Brothers in The Cocoanuts: "You can have any kind of a home you want. You can even get stucco. Oh, how you can get stucco." That's not to deny that better policy could have alleviated the pain, a question we'll return to later. But the Depression looks much more like the product of excessive private-sector debt than like the government failure of monetarist legend.
So now we've experienced a severe financial crisis, fundamentally similar to those of the past. What does history tell us to expect next? That's the subject of Reinhart and Rogoff's Chapter 14, "The Aftermath of Financial Crises." This chapter can usefully be read in tandem with two studies by the International Monetary Fund that take a similar approach, published as chapters in the April 2009 and October 2009 editions of the semiannual World Economic Outlook. All three studies offer a grim prognosis: the aftermath of financial crises tends to be nasty, brutish, and long. That is, financial crises are typically followed by deep recessions, and these recessions are followed by slow, disappointing recoveries.
Consider, for example, the case of Sweden, which experienced a severe banking crisis in 1991, following a major housing bubble. Sweden's government has been widely praised for its response to the crisis: it stabilized markets by guaranteeing bank debt, and restored faith in the system by temporarily nationalizing and then recapitalizing the weakest banks. Despite these measures, however, Swedish unemployment soared from 3 percent to almost 10 percent; it didn't start coming down until 1995, and progress was slow and fitful for several more years.
It's true that there have been some "phoenix-like" recoveries from financial crises, to use a term introduced by Columbia University economist Guillermo Calvo. But such recoveries, like South Korea's bounce-back from the 1997–1998 Asian crisis, have invariably been associated with large depreciations of the afflicted nation's currencies—the Korean currency, the won, for example, lost more than half its value against the dollar—followed by huge export booms, presumably due to the way a weak currency made that nation's exports more competitive. Nothing like that can be expected for America now. For one thing, the dollar actually rose in the face of the crisis, as investors sought the safest haven they could find. Beyond that, this is a global crisis, and we can't all export our way out of it—not unless we can find another planet to trade with.
How long does the pain last? According to the second of those IMF studies, the answer, to a first approximation, is "forever": financial crises appear to depress not just short-term performance but also long-term growth, so that even a decade after the crisis real GDP is substantially lower than it would otherwise have been.
Reading these studies, we find ourselves wondering what Obama administration economists were thinking when they circulated their now-infamous prediction that the US unemployment rate would peak at 8 percent in the third quarter of 2009. If that had happened, it would have been an exceptional performance, in that both the rise in unemployment and its duration would have been much less than is normal in these cases. In fact, of course, things have turned out considerably worse than the administration's prediction, and are running fairly close to the historical norm. As Rogoff told one of us in conversation, the United States is experiencing a "garden-variety severe financial crisis."
History says that the next few years will be difficult. But can anything be done to improve the situation? Unfortunately, This Time Is Different says little on this score.

Check mate! John McCain shows leadership and asks Obama to join him. Meanwhile, we are still waiting on Obama to show he cares about something besides himself as he prepares for a debate that will not have McCain in attendence.
Finally, someone in the government, who isn't all about himself. Shelley the Republican says, "Hats off! You're a true American!"
MCCAIN SUSPENDS CAMPAIGN TO FOCUS ON ECONOMY; WANTS DEBATE DELAYWed Sept 24 2008 14:58:02 ET
MCCAIN: America this week faces an historic crisis in our financial system. We must pass legislation to address this crisis. If we do not, credit will dry up, with devastating consequences for our economy. People will no longer be able to buy homes and their life savings will be at stake. Businesses will not have enough money to pay their employees. If we do not act, ever corner of our country will be impacted. We cannot allow this to happen.Last Friday, I laid out my proposal and I have since discussed my priorities and concerns with the bill the Administration has put forward. Senator Obama has expressed his priorities and concerns.This morning, I met with a group of economic advisers to talk about the proposal on the table and the steps that we should take going forward.I have also spoken with members of Congress to hear their perspective.It has become clear that no consensus has developed to support the Administration' proposal. I do not believe that the plan on the table will pass as it currently stands, and we are running out of time.Tomorrow morning, I will suspend my campaign and return to Washington after speaking at the Clinton Global Initiative. I have spoken to Senator Obama and informed him of my decision and have asked him to join me.I am calling on the President to convene a meeting with the leadership from both houses of Congress, including Senator Obama and myself. It is time for both parties to come together to solve this problem.We must meet as Americans, not as Democrats or Republicans, and we must meet until this crisis is resolved.I am directing my campaign to work with the Obama campaign and the commission on presidential debates to delay Friday night's debate until we have taken action to address this crisis.I am confident that before the markets open on Monday we can achieve consensus on legislation that will stabilize our financial markets, protect taxpayers and homeowners, and earn the confidence of the American people. All we must do to achieve this is temporarily set politics aside, and I am committed to doing so.Following September 11th, our national leaders came together at a time of crisis. We must show that kind of patriotism now. Americans across our country lament the fact that partisan divisions in Washington have prevented us from addressing our national challenges. Now is our chance to come together to prove that Washington is once again capable of leading this country.Developing...

I just have an opinion question for you. I got my LO's pictures done, and part of what I wanted was a baby parts collage. The collage that the photographer is so cute!! One of the pictures is of his bare bottom - which I think is absolutely adorable! When my Mom saw it, she said that she loved the pictures too, but wasn't sure about the hiney one since it will be a big canvas print. Then she went into this long story about how some guy somewhere got some pictures of his baby in the bathtub developed and he almost got his kids taken away... I know she's only trying to help, but now I don't know what to do. Would you put a picture of your LO's bare behind up on the wall? It'll be in his room, and the other baby parts are his ear, lips, fingers, etc. TIA
Just based on what I was told...if the child is under a year old the naked pics are considered okay. We were told this by Picture People when we got DD's 1st bday pics done with her cake smashing.
So I wouldn't worry about that part.
If you like it, do it. I would.

Frankly, I'm sick to death of all this talk about profiling.
Everybody does it, even Big Guy:
And eventually we're all going to be profiled for one thing or another.
Sometimes because of our race,
White racists for Herman Cain
Sometimes because of our political inclinations:
And sometimes just because of our color.

In Celebration Of Black History Month, Macy's Honors The Legacy Of Gordon Parks With Special Events Nationwide In Partnership With The Gordon Parks Foundation And The American Black Film Festival. (Photo: Business Wire)
From one icon to another, this February Macy's (NYSE:M), an American retail institution, salutes American cultural hero Gordon Parks in celebration of Black History Month. Via special events and exhibits at select stores across the country, Macy's will honor the legacy of this artistic master who chronicled and defined a generation and whose work continues to inspire artists today.

A humanitarian with a deep commitment to social justice, Gordon Parks was one of the seminal figures of twentieth century photography. From the early 1940s until his death in 2006, Parks created a body of work that documents many of the most important aspects of American culture, with a focus on race relations, poverty, Civil Rights and urban life. In addition, Parks was a celebrated composer, author and filmmaker who interacted with many of the most prominent people of his era — from politicians and artists to celebrities and athletes. In 1969 he became the first African-American to write and direct a Hollywood feature film based on his bestselling novel "The Learning Tree." This was followed in 1971 by the hugely successful motion picture "Shaft."
"Macy's is thrilled to partner with The Gordon Parks Foundation and the American Black Film Festival to honor the legacy and work of famed artistic master Gordon Parks," said Dineen Garcia, Macy's vice president of Diversity Strategies. "Exemplary Americans like Gordon Parks serve to inspire generations with a rich legacy of achievement that crosses boundaries and continues to inform and inspire the work of those who follow in their footsteps. From photography to film and music, Gordon Parks is the perfect American hero to honor during Black History Month celebrations at Macy's."

REVIEW SUMMARY: An Epic Space Opera tale.
BRIEF SYNOPSIS: An interesting, epic space opera revenge tale that weaves together separate story lines into an excellent read.
PROS: Shadowline pulls together three distinct story lines, weaving them together over the course of the story, in an interesting universe of interstellar politics.
CONS: The world building here isn't up to the same level as other Space Opera novels, leaving a bit to be desired.
BOTTOM LINE: This is a very good read, with an excellent story and series of characters.

Clashes are taking place between security forces and protesters in Syria, mainly in the outskirts of Hama, Homs and Deraa, pro-democracy activists say.
At least 44 people have been killed by security forces after Friday prayers, according the Syrian Revolution General Commission, and the Local Coordination Committees.Scores of demonstrators are reported to have gathered in important cities and towns, demanding an end to Bashar al-Assad's rule and chanting "Death rather than humiliation".
The Syrian opposition has labelled the Friday protest "We will continue until we bring down the regime".
"This Friday the protest enters it seventh month," Al Jazeera's Omar al-Saleh reported from Amman, Jordanian capital.
According to the Local Co-ordination Committee, an opposition group, since the beginning of the uprising 761 people have been killed in Homs, 594 in Deraa, and 350 in Hama.
Opposition council formed
A group of Syrian activists declared on Thursday a council representing a united front in opposition to al-Assad.
About 140 figures, including exiled opponents and 70 dissidents inside Syria, were chosen as members of the new Syrian National Council, concluding a four-day meeting in the Turkish city of Istanbul.
The council aims to help topple Assad within six months and form an interim government thereafter, Basma Kadmani, a Syrian exile living in France, announced.
"The political vision of the council will give a push to the escalation of the revolutionary work we are seeing," Kadmani said.
"This group, based on previous initiatives, and on what the street is demanding, is calling for the downfall of the regime with all of its limbs."
A popular uprising began in Syria in mid-March and turned violent after Assad's security forces reacted with deadly force.
About 2,600 civilians have been killed so far, according to United Nations estimates, and reports of brutal use of force continue to trickle out of Syria.
Strident call
Ban Ki-moon, the UN secretary-general, made an unusually strident call on Thursday, urging Assad to end the crackdown.
"When he has not been keeping his promises, enough is enough and the international community should really take coherent measures and speak in one voice," Ban said.
Ban has had several telephone conversations with Assad since the protests erupted on March 15, during which the Syrian president repeatedly promised to end the bloody crackdown and institute political reforms.
"These promises have become now broken promises," Ban said.
He said it was up to UN member states and the Security Council to decide what action should be taken after Syria ignored repeated international appeals.
"Protesters will be welcoming [Ban's]remarks," our correspondent said. "However, they will want tougher stance and not words. They need action because, according to them, they have been slaughtered for the past six months.
"I don't think [the remarks] will have impact on the Syrian leadership to stop the violence. I think the leadership in Syria is betting on the fact that the international community, mainly the Security Council, is divided."
While the US, UK and France have called on Assad to step down and imposed sanctions against him and other figures believed to be involved in the deadly crackdowns, Russia and China have blocked efforts at the Security Council to impose more sanctions against Syria.

The Northern Virginia Health Foundation was created in 2005 by order of the Alexandria Circuit Court during the resolution of litigation surrounding the closing of Jefferson Memorial hospital. The Foundation's mandate, as determined by the Court, is to improve the health and healthcare for Northern Virginians, with a particular emphasis on the needs of low-income, uninsured residents of Alexandria, Arlington and Fairfax.
Much of 2005 was spent launching the Foundation – seating the nine-person Board of Directors, clarifying processes and procedures, meeting with community stakeholders, learning about the health and healthcare needs of the region, and getting information on efforts underway to address those needs.
In October 2006, the Foundation issued its first Request for Proposals, and made $1,300,999 in grants to 18 nonprofit organizations in March 2007. In March 2008, $1,098,350 in grants were made to 11 nonprofit organizations. The Foundation made a second round of grants late in 2008, totaling $450,932 to 12 nonprofit organizations.
Taking the economic crisis into consideration, the Foundation's Board of Directors decided to have two grant-rounds in 2009 that focused on preserving the healthcare safety net services for low-income uninsured residents of Northern Virginia. That year, the Foundation made $1,115,500 in grants to 13 nonprofit organizations. Concerned that the safety net clinics were seeing substantial increases in numbers of patients, and recognizing that the need for safety net services was greater than ever, the Foundation again focused the majority of its 2010 grantmaking on its core safety net grantees, providing $1,264,326 in grants to 12 nonprofit organizations. And again in 2011, the Foundation continued its focus on the healthcare safety net and provided $769,000 in grants to 12 nonprofit organizations. In 2010 and 2011, the Foundation also expended a substantial amount of resources to assist safety net clinics with improving their back-office functions.
During its first five years, the Foundation has been engaged in a variety of activities beyond grantmaking, including creating and participating in collaborations and partnerships with other funders, policymakers and providers. All of its efforts are focused on working closely with nonprofit organizations, government agencies and community stakeholders who are also committed to improving health and healthcare in Northern Virginia.

Ousted Asian football chief Mohammad bin Hammam has lost his appeal against a lifetime ban from football, the world governing body FIFA has announced.
The Qatari was slapped with the ban in July after he was found guilty of trying to buy votes in the FIFA presidential race by offering Caribbean football officials $40,000 each. He denied all the charges.
"The FIFA Appeal Committee, under the chairmanship of Francisco Acosta (Ecuador), has confirmed the decisions taken by the FIFA Ethics Committee on July 23, 2011 regarding the ban on FIFA Executive Committee member Mohammad bin Hammam for a breach of the FIFA Code of Ethics," said a FIFA statement on Thursday.
"The appeal made by Mohammed bin Hammam has been rejected and the decision of the FIFA Ethics Committee confirmed. "The sanction of being banned from taking part in any kind of football-related activity (administrative, sports or any other) at national and international level for life has therefore been maintained."
Bin Hammam lawyer said his client would take his case against the ban to the Court of Arbitration for Sport.
Eugene Gulland said: "As expected, the Fifa appeals panel, which met in Zurich today [Thursday], upheld the 23 July ruling by the Fifa ethics committee, and we will therefore be taking our appeal to the Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS)."

How Designer Myra Hoefer's Home Has Changed Over 20 Years
In the heart of wine country, Myra Hoefer has transformed an old supermarket building and an office space into two elegant houses, both with an easy California feel. House Beautiful featured those homes in 1993, 2000, and 2012. Here, we take a look at how the designer's style has evolved.
1993: In the master bedroom, the bed is centered on a glass wall, which acts like an ethereal headboard. A large wood-and-copper birdcage designed by Hoefer gives a suggestion of privacy to the master bedroom without walls.
2012: In her current bedroom, Hoefer kept a similar airy and calm color of white, but added more green to the palette. Her bedside table is a folding picnic side table from Pier 1 Imports. The resin lamp is by Barbara Cosgrove.

Infrared laser barriers could repel mosquitoes invisibly
We've already seen laser systems that can target and shoot down mosquitoes, and we'll be honest: it's hard to beat an anti-bug battle laser. A new technique based on lasers and infrared light might be a slightly more realistic way of keeping mosquitoes at bay without having to zap each and every one.
In Africa, 20% of childhood deaths are caused by malaria. It's a very serious problem, which is why everyone from the U.N. to the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation are funding research into ways of cheaply and effectively keeping people (children, especially) from getting bitten.
Most anti-mosquito tech depends on physical barriers like nets, which are prone to damage, or sprays that target a mosquito's sense of smell, can be are less effective and don't last as long. Szabolcs Márka, an associate professor at Columbia University, has figured out that you don't need olfactory trickery or even physical barriers to repel mosquitoes, since as it turns out, the little buggers are scared to death of infrared light.
All it takes to keep mosquitoes (and other bugs) away is a virtual curtain of infrared laser light. This "light shield" can be placed across windows, doors, or even projected onto the floor to create a safe place to sleep. You can't see it and you can walk right through it without noticing, but as you can see in the video below, bugs simply will not cross the beams.
A field prototype of this anti-mosquito system is probably a few years away, since lots of research is still necessary to figure out what intensities and wavelengths work best. But pretty soon, we might be able to get rid of all of those sprays and stuff for good, and just set out a couple infrared laser emitters to keep everyone bite (and malaria) free.

San Andreas was a good game, its a shame they removed things planes in the later version of GTA. Vice city was a great game!
Who's looking forward to seeing Trailer #2 for GTA: V then!? I know I am! - Wednesday, 14th November is when it 'premieres', more details here: Grand Theft Auto V Trailer #2 Coming Next Week, Wed Nov 14
I'm still gutted I won't get to see Las Venturas with the graphics they've got in store for this, but I do miss Los Santos. The latest screenshots are clearly proving that the map will be HUGE, especially with the country roads/beaches still there.
San Andreas was a good game, its a shame they removed things planes in the later version of GTA. Vice city was a great game!
Vice City is and always will be my favourite GTA game. Biased because I've always been 80s-mad anyway but I generally liked the game, I'd love to see Vice City return some day. Vice City + San Andreas' customisation features and we'd be sorted!

just been reading on IGN. Apparently, you can switch between characters all the time as there is 3 protagonists. Not sure how i feel about this, GTA was always nice and easy to get a grips with. this might add a bit of unwanted complication.
I'd prefer it if it switched protagonists by itself/as you progress, rather than you being able to just press a button and change. Could be a bit weird..
Or it might be an advance to GTA SA's 'Gang Recruit' feature it had, you can have 2 followers and switch between them? *shrug*

Before anyone goes "pfft, iPad! Boooo!" etc, GTA3 has already been ported across and I recommend it for anyone who has an iPad. They did a cracking job too. The controls are slick and it plays just as well as it did 10 years ago too! All the radio stations are there too! Used to love listening to Laslow on Chatterbox FM!
I bought the GTA radio set once and played Chatterbox FM in my car with the window down during the summer months! I was cool back then...
Keyboard and mouse for PC all the way!
There's some screenshots from Games Informer here: Xbox360A
Some of the comments are saying these are PS3 screenshots, but this site has been known to post PC screenshots. They use what they can find!
Oh, there's these details too, also from game informer: Xbox360A 2

Using a console controller for a PC game has always baffled me. I fail to see the point unless you've got some emulating going on.
Some people find it easier to fly planes and stuff using a controller/gamepad, but I'd rather stick with me trusty keyboard + mouse all the way!
@DMcGuigan - those screenshots look amazing! Thanks for sharing the link with us. Pleased to see how the 'outskirts' look interesting to see the Dam there though, I remember that being between San Fierro & Las Venturas.

You have to try it and come back to change your review. Siracha is a chinese hot sauce, you can find it in most kosher stores or Asian markets. You can make it with a regular hot sauce if you prefer.
I bought a pressure cooker but barely use is it. This definitely makes me want to try using it again!

Inspired by Henry David Thoreau's story 'Walden. Or, Life in the woods', German architect Nils Holger Moormann created this super skinny prefab garden shed that measures just 3 feet wide! Part cabin, part garden shed, Walden is a prefab living station for outdoor enthusiasts with tons of hidden surprises tucked away into secret compartments. For those who enjoy being outside in their garden, this might be the perfect escape.
Walden is a lightweight, wooden, portable, prefab structure that includes everything you might need for a garden escape. No wider than a doorway, the skinny prefab is more of a facade than a structure, but includes storage compartments on both sides. Included are a living and dining area set in the center with a retractable awning for shade. A narrow set of stairs hidden on one end leads to an upper level with a double bed and a skylight.
Tucked away in compartments on either side is a wheel barrow, birdhouse, swinging fire cauldron, space for stacking wood, garden tools, and flower pots. The outdoor living space, which requires no electricity, was inspired by Thoreau and his concept of a simple life. With everything right at hand for an enjoyable day outside, one might feel inclined to never go home.

As the operations at insurance companies experience rising financial sophistication, accountants are finding this industry calling for their abilities from CPA study courses. Insurance has always been a numbers-oriented business with its multitude of small transactions. Aggregation of those transactions requires accounting skills to assure accurate reports.
Digital records have aided in the development of data utilization for risk assessment and financial projections. Using analytical knowledge from CPA review courses, accountants are delivering value to the insurance industry by evaluating likely financial consequences of possible events. Also, detailed breakdown of financial details is required for reporting to state regulatory agencies.
Many accountants at large insurance companies still start at entry-level positions. But, they soon move up the ranks from their beginnings at compiling basic reports. That phase is only a steppingstone for learning all the components of an insurance company's operations.
Because insurance organizations need analysts, they are eager to employ accountants that possess skills for immediate advancement into broad roles within the company. Some accountants move into supervising various accounting activities. The demands of these jobs are leading the companies to increasingly consider applicants with CPA licenses or recent graduates engaged in CPA exam study.
Certain credentials enhance the appeal of a prospective financial executive within the insurance field. Some of the recommendations are Chartered Financial Consultant (ChFC), Chartered Property Casualty Underwriter (CPCU), and Chartered Life Underwriter (CLU). Each of these designations proves specific expertise in the insurance industry. Attaining them should come easier after the experience of completing study for CPA exam success.
In addition, many public accounting firms specialize in the insurance industry. They are primarily involved in auditing insurance companies. Working in this capacity is a sound way of gaining entry into the insurance field. Executive posts at insurance companies are commonly filled by candidates recruited from public accounting firms with insurance clients. This is especially true of smaller insurance concerns.
Accounting students can even establish an early exposure to the insurance business. Companies frequently hire college students for part-time positions at insurance call centers or summer jobs conducting bookkeeping tasks. Getting noticed by supervisors is a pathway many students have used to gain employment after graduation. Permanent jobs under the supervision of a CPA at an insurance company usually satisfy the experience requirements accounting grads need to capture their own CPA licenses. Moreover, studying for the CPA exam is a lot easier with the regular hours at an insurance company compared to the demands at a public accounting firm.

Effects of Rhino on Facial Features/ Structure
I wanted to discuss how Rhinoplasty effects the rest of your features.
I'm a bit paranoid about getting a 'nose job' and am taking into consideration every side note that comes to mind.
I'm pretty sure that changing the structure of ones nose, shaving off a hump, and/or breaking the bones to bring your bridge together so as not to have a 'flat roof" can change the shape of your eyes or mouth, or even the depth of one's frown lines.
Depending on how it effects each face, it can round out the eye shape (i've seen this happen), create hollows underneath the eyes, etc..
Any input on this? Is this something surgeons discuss? I haven't had anyone bring this up to me in my consultations.
Yes, rhinoplasty can affect the entire face on a grand scale. As the nose is the most prominent feature on the face, if one's nose is too large or small, shaped differently from the norm, and/or shaped differently than the rest of one's features, it can create a huge change in one's overall appearance. The nose can appear to affect the entire facial canvas on a much larger scale. This is because of the general perception of balance and the overall symmetry of the face, where the nose is the anchor as well as the central focal point.
When one begins with a large nose that is made smaller via rhinoplasty, post-op, other features will appear more prominent. If the nose is made too small or the rhinoplasty is botched (nose is askew or the bridge is too skinny to cite a few examples) the nose will be even more prominent.
Other facial changes can occur as you have specified. It is very important that the changes one makes to his or her nose are complementary and symmetrical to the rest of the facial features. Other features can be changed in size due to comparison with the old nose, or literally due to size changes of the nose itself.
Most surgeons will not bring up an intricacy such as this, as most patients are not projecting on such a deep level. You should bring it up. See what the surgeon says. If he or she cannot respond appropriately, or at all, you can weed said doc out of your "surgeon pool" so to speak.
Excellent topic. ;)
