An individual can get great satisfaction from using their hands to help people get the basic life comfort of keeping cool and staying warm. If such a person is good at ensuring this comfort for residents and employees, then he or she can earn a decent salary in HVAC (heating, ventilation and air-conditioning) careers.
1. The prospects
The demand for well-trained HVAC technicians is very high. Job prospects are good and the industry offers good salaries since the work is essential. What technicians do affects the way people live and work, as it ensures their working and living environments are comfortable and safe. This expanding market shows that getting a HVAC degree means there are high chances of getting a good job and rewarding career.
2. The cost
By comparing the cost of getting a HVAC degree with the salary that a graduate can get, then it becomes clear that the degree is a great investment. Tuition costs for any HVAC degree program depends on several factors. One of the factors determining it most is whether the program is done in-campus or online.
There is quite a big difference between online HVAC programs and enrolling for these programs in ground schools. For the most part, online programs offer trainees theoretical training and assessment of skills. On the other hand, technical schools offer an in-depth training that has significant practical aspect. Many of such schools have laboratories equipped with HVAC equipment. One interesting thing though, is that the approximate course duration for both is the same.
An advanced program like Applied Science/Associate of Occupational Studies typically costs between $20,000 and $30,000. This will depend on the institution as well as the training facilities it has. A Bachelor of Science degree in HVAC takes twice as much time, i.e. four years, and hence it costs more. Additionally, a person must have an Associate Degree in HVAC before enrolling for a Bachelor program. An important thing to bear in mind is that the curriculum of both in-campus and online HVAC programs is very similar, you can find many programs and compare using HVAC degree directory combined by HVWTech.com. The main goal of both curriculums is to give the trainee basic skills for applying on the job.
Licensing fees for technicians usually range from $75 to $300. In the state of Virginia for example, the license fee is $90, with exam fees ranging from $30 to $90. In Texas, there is an application fee of $50, a $90 exam fee and a license fee of $115.
3. The return
Technicians with experience in HVAC are capable of earning between $25,000 and $75, 000 a year. This presents a great opportunity for individuals who want to attain a degree in the field either in-campus or online. Nothing is as satisfying as enrolling for a degree program that offers everything about HVAC technology and then applying it in a well-paying career. Many people would like to know how much money they can earn per year knowing about this field. The truth is that any experienced HVAC technician can earn anywhere between $30,000 and $50, 000 per year depending on their qualifications, knowledge and experience on the field. It is worth knowing that engineers are the highest levels of HVAC experts, and they earn about $75,000 a year to carry out HVAC tasks that are quite advanced in nature.
Anyone who is a technician in the field can get jobs requiring their services within established businesses. Alternatively, they can form their own private practices to serve neighboring communities with such services. Each community needs a HVAC expert to assist them with whatever heating or air-conditioning problems they are facing, just have a look at the average day of HVAC tech:
It is thus important for an individual to get a HVAC degree so that he or she can get a job in the market with a great salary, or start their own business.
There are numerous great HVAC related jobs out there that are well paying. However, it is up to an individual to find them and acquire the best training possible. Some HVAC control technicians can earn about $60,000 per year for just supplying materials to business establishments and homes. Experts in the field are quite useful in providing solutions to people needing help with ventilation and air-conditioning, together with refrigeration systems needing maintenance and repair. By becoming such an expert, a person can get a well-paying job and jump-start a career that will earn him or her a comfortable living.

I don't know many people who look forward to giving up their weekend to deal with the headaches of a garage sale. I do know a few, however, who like to rise to the challenge.
If you have a few things or more to sell, here is the easiest and most financially rewarding way to accomplish this unwanted task.
Holding a Garage Sale
One real life example: Karen has about $700 worth of items she wants to sell in her weekend garage sale. She also owns a couple of expensive evening dresses that she knows will not sell for their full values at the sale and needs to decide what to do with them.
Karen puts signs around the neighborhood and runs an ad in the local paper announcing her garage sale. At the sale, she sells $500 worth of items. After Karen cleans up, she has $200 worth of items remaining and two evening gowns she still needs to dispose of. She puts the $200 worth of unsold goods at the end of the driveway for garbage collection. She thinks about bringing the dresses to the resale shop but holds off for another day, because she feels exhausted from her garage sale. For her work, so far, she has put $500 in her pocket.
Donating to Charity
Perhaps, instead of the garage sale, Karen decides to donate all the items to one charity and take the tax deduction. The charity's staff comes by her house and picks up all her items. She obtains a receipt for the items ($700) and the two dresses ($800). Her total donation and tax deduction comes to $1,500. If Karen is in the 40 percent tax bracket, then she has essentially put $600 back in her pocket, as she has saved $600 in taxes–all for a couple of hours of work.
Now, how would you rather you spend your weekend?
Be sure to get documentation from the charity to claim your deduction. If you want a big deduction, keep track of the items and their receipts. According to the Internal Revenue Service, a taxpayer can deduct the fair market value of clothing and household goods. Fair market value is defined as "the price at which property would change hands between a willing buyer and a willing seller, neither having to buy or sell, and both having reasonable knowledge of all the relevant facts."
If you donate more than $500 worth of goods to a single charity, you must include Form 8283, Noncash Charitable Contributions, with your tax return.
Enjoy your summer!

Authorities with the Bolivar County Regional Correctional Facility, and Sheriff Kelvin Williams in particular, are working to implement a new program called Triad.
Triad is a group of individuals who work together on crime prevention and protection for the community's senior citizens.
"We have experienced a lot of calls from seniors who have been victims of numerous crimes. From fraud to abuse, I felt like I really needed to do something that would help us to bridge that gap and make communication better.
"From what I understand Triad is a program that improves the relationship between law enforcement and our senior community.
"We don't want you to feel like no one is willing to help you," said Williams.
Wayne Parker, director of Mississippi Leadership Council on Aging, came to the meeting to explain why Triad is necessary and how to get it started.
The American Association of Retired Persons, the International Association of Chiefs of Police and the National Sheriffs' Association came together in 1988 and signed a cooperative agreement to work together to reduce criminal victimization and unwarranted fear of crime in senior citizens. From that agreement came the Triad program.
The Mississippi Leadership Council on Aging will provide grant funding and Parker suggested beginning a council that represents the communities well.
"You want people who are interested in the welfare of senior citizens in Bolivar County," said Parker.
Once begun, the Triad program could host crime prevention programs for older persons, give out information on how to avoid criminal victimization, create or expand involvement in neighborhood watch programs, give out home security information and inspections, as well as host social events for senior citizens with informative speakers.
Two projects Parker focused on were making sure homes were marked with signs stating the number of the house and getting senior citizens to fill out large orange information cards.
These cards include name, date of birth, allergies, health conditions, and medications.
Seniors could leave these cards on their refrigerator and during a time of emergency, emergency personnel would have ready access to this information if for some reason that senior citizen was unresponsive.
Parker mentioned that emergency personnel have been able to take that card off the fridge and move much more quickly in assisting those in need because they were already provided with important information.
Parker explained that Triad is a citizen run program and a person "can be involved part-time or be involved in a project," while others work with the program full-time.
"You can do as much as you want or as little as you can," said Parker.
The group will have another meeting to set up a council.
To become involved in Triad contact the sheriff's department at 662-843-5378.

Spearheaded by Mississippi Secretary of State Delbert Hosemann's Promote the Vote, an educational program designed to encourage civic participation in youth, more than 104,000 students from 78 counties cast a ballot for their presidential candidate in the Mock Election.
Studies Weekly, a textbook-replacement publisher who serves nearly 20,000 elementary students across the state in history, social studies, math and science, conducted the online election that allowed students to vote right in their classrooms.
"This is the largest statewide participation since the program began in 1996," said Pamela Weaver, director of communication for Hosemann's office. "In previous years, the results of the mock elections have closely reflected the election results in Mississippi."
"Kindergarten-12 educators play a unique role in introducing Mississippi youth to the democratic process upon which our nation is built as well as encouraging student participation," said U.S. Congressman from Mississippi Steven Palazzo. "I am encouraged by the participation in the Promote the Vote Program."
This year's results, as announced by Hosemann were 57,880 votes, or 55 percent, for Barack Obama to 46,724, or 45 percent, for Mitt Romney.
"The idea behind the mock election is that if students 'vote' every four years as part of their education they'll be more likely to vote as adults," said Glynis Ross, a fifth grade teacher at Parks Elementary in Cleveland.
Hosemann agreed.
"By engaging students to participate in the voting process early, we believe they will continue to vote as adults," said Hosemann. "Our goal is to increase voter participation, regardless of age. The more familiar an individual is with the voting process, the more likely they will return to the voting booth in the future."
Tightly aligned with the Mississippi Social Studies Framework and developed in cooperation with the Mississippi Department of Education, Promote The Vote's curriculum consists of voter education lesson plans and activities developmentally appropriate and unique to each grade level.
Ross said that every year she teaches her students about the electoral process; including the branches of the government and the tasks of each branches and the different parties and what divides them.
"These lessons are engaging, collaborative, and help develop civic mindedness and critical thinking skills in students, which are some of the goals of the 2011 Mississippi Social Studies Framework," said Nathan Oakley, bureau director of the Office of Curriculum and Instruction for the Mississippi Department of Education.
Other participating schools in Bolivar County were Bell Academy grades K-6 with sponsor Debbie Fioranelli; Shelby Broad Street High School grades 9-12 under sponsor Stephanie Thomas; Benoit's Brooks Elementary School grade 2-4 under sponsor Cody Shumaker; Cleveland Career Development & Technology Center under sponsor Equonda Jackson, Cleveland High School 12th grade under sponsor Glena Weeks; D.M. Smith Middle School grades 7-8 under sponsor Karen Fioranelli; East Side High grades 9-12 under sponsor Karen Fioranelli; Hayes Cooper Center grades K-6 under sponsor Beverly Hardy; John F. Kennedy High School grades 9-12 under sponsor Aneika Moore; Pearman Elementary grades 4-5 under sponsor Horace McKay; Presbyterian Day School grades 1-6 under sponsor Diane Burd; Benoit's Ray Brooks School grades 9-12 under sponsor Arlander McCarthy; Shaw High School grade 9-12 under sponsor L'Kenna Whitehead; and West Bolivar Elementary grades K-4 under sponsor W. Shepard-Williams.
Ninth-12 graders at Ruleville Central High School under sponsor Jerry Walker also participated in the program.

- Best Hair Cair that I have ever used! Review by Sybil
Quality Price Value I have relaxed and color treated ethnic hair. This is the best shampoo that I have ever used. It infused my dry, damaged hair with moisture and shine. Since I have been using it and the conditioner my hair is softer, healthier and more manageable with no breakage.

MIAMI GARDENS, FL - JANUARY 07: Manti Te'o #5 of the Notre Dame Fighting Irish warms up prior to playing against the Alabama Crimson Tide in the 2013 Discover BCS National Championship game at Sun Life Stadium on January 7, 2013 in Miami Gardens, Florida. (Photo by Mike Ehrmann/Getty Images)
Updated: February 19, 2013 2:23PM
Holy Gipper! Call out the saints and miracle workers!
Somebody's got to make Notre Dame linebacker Manti Te'o's dead girlfriend real!
What? Huh?
Lennay Kekua, the beautiful former Stanford student who died tragically on Sept. 12 — or 11th or 14th or 15th, depending on your news source — has turned out not to be a real person. The often-seen photo of her is real, but it was snatched from another person's Facebook page.
This alleged deeply suffering, deeply noble and good-hearted Lennay Kekua, superstar Te'o's soulmate and abruptly deceased girlfriend, over whom he has reaped limitless good vibes and indulgences from sportswriters and Heisman voters and fans and role-model seekers, is a fricking hoax.
Think of that. Like Piltdown Man and the jackalope.
Naturally, beat writers and TV reporters and even hallowed Sports Illustrated ran toward the elegantly tragic theme, rooted around in its maudlin improbability, then exploded off like dogs with pork chops.
Take this onetime "fact.'' In November 2009, Te'o met face-to-face with Kekua after Notre Dame whipped Stanford 45-38 in Palo Alto. Not just met, but almost melted. Per the South Bend Tribune: "Their stares got pleasantly tangled, then Manti Te'o extended his hand to the stranger with a warm smile and soulful eyes."
Nutty, huh?
Because if the meeting didn't occur — which it couldn't have because the girl does not exist — then the writer himself, no doubt, got the story from Te'o. And to make up such a thing — why would this straight-laced, devoutly Mormon, endearing young man who can knock your head through your sphincter — do that? And never stop the nonsense?
Why would Te'o allow the young woman to be real for three years before she begins suffering from leukemia, gets in a violent car crash, lingers gloriously between life and death in a hospital bed and then dies — amazing coincidence — on the very day (or not) when Te'o's real grandmother Annette Santiago actually dies.
As a veteran journalist, I have two reasons. No, three.
The hoax started as a goof with a pal of his. A Punk'd for the D-I crowd. But Te'o seems to have the humor quotient of a caveman. Unlikely.
Two, Te'o actually thought the romance, which, like everything these days, started online, was for real. (We won't ask about sex details.) And when he found out he'd been goofed on, played like a high school geek who just received a 36-month swirlie — plus, he had played along with his own lies — he grasped for dignity and killed off the chick.
Again, unlikely. Because even we moronic press members eventually would want to see a death notice for the girl in this modern rendition of "Love Story.'' There would have to be a movie, right?
So now it's all about who you believe knew what when as far as digging out the guilty parties in this preposterous and embarrassing tale. A huge amount of the grunt work in uncovering the fraud was done by reporters at Deadspin.com, which posted the bizarre news Wednesday afternoon.
This whole thing is so nutsy that I believe it only could have happened at Notre Dame, where mythology trumps common sense on a daily basis. Rudy, leprechauns, ghosts of yore dance around like hallowed elves, while tales of a killed student football videographer and a student who killed herself after allegedly being assaulted by a player on this year's stellar team go uncelebrated. Given the choice between reality and fiction, Notre Dame always will choose fiction.
Which brings me to what I believe is the real reason Te'o — and apparently his father, at least — went along with this scheme: the Heisman Trophy.
When I was talking with Te'o in the tunnel of the Coliseum after Notre Dame thrashed USC in its final regular-season game, another writer asked him what the low point of his career was.
He promptly said, "September 12.'' The other writers nodded knowingly.
I had no idea. His grandmother and girlfriend both died, a writer hissed at me.
Da-yang, I thought. Wow. I voted Te'o first on my Heisman ballot. He finished second.
Thank God.

Environmental Apocalypse! The Failure Of Our Federal Government
Thanks for the great peice. I live in West Yellowstone, another entrance city, and it's essentially a ghost town out here with the park shut down. Plus, who's going to catch all of those hungry fish on the Firehole, or the runners in the Madison?

This is the second set of these towels I have purchased within a month. The first set was ordered on 2/17 and the second on 3/8. Even thought the style number and vendor SKU are the same the towels are very different. The first set is very luxurious and thick with a wide dotted band. The second set, received yesterday, is much thinner, not as luxurious and has a striped band. I had hoped to use them together, but it is a bit difficult due to the difference in quality. Even the labels inside are different. The ones ordered first on 2/17 say Luxury Egyptian Cotton Bath Towels and the ones received yesterday say Signature Luxury Towels. If you use the same product number and the same SKU, the product should be the same. I am now wondering if the second set is even made from Egyptian cotton as advertised.
I have purchased Egyptian cotton towels online in the past for the same price, and have been very satisfied with my purchases. Not so in this case. These towels are nowhere near as thick or soft as my previous purchases. The problem is that it�s hard to tell this from the initial item. You really have to wash towels once before you�ll know how they perform. The color is also rather dull. I wish I could return them, but I doubt it�s possible once they�re washed. I certainly would never buy these again.
These were not the thick luxurious towels I expected them to be. They're good, but not excellent.
These towels are the worst. After just one washing they started to unravel and haven't stopped.
The seam shredded during the first wash. Very poor quality. Do not recommend.
I was so pleased to receive this set of cotton bath sheets. Not only are they ample sized, but the towels are super soft, absorbent and attractive. Even after several washes, the ribbing lies flat and the towels are as nice as the day I put them into use!
Nice and large bath sheets but not as thick as the Celebration II bath sheets.
These towels are soft and very generously sized. They are not as thick as some others. They are a good value for the price. The latte color is as pictured.
I purchased towels as "sleeping pads" in muggy night-time weather. Perfect -- soft. Perfect -- absorbent. Perfect -- made to last. I spent a bit more than I wanted to, but well-worth it.
Purchased in September 2012, and am very pleased with the quality of these towels. They are thick, and after numerous washings, they have held up well.

President Barack Obama declares victory: 'The best is yet to come'

Updated: November 7, 2012 1:34PM
Declaring "the best is yet to come," President Barack Obama won re-election Tuesday, overcoming concerns over a struggling economy, a devastating national deficit and relentless Republican attacks on his health care overhaul.
"We are an American family and we rise and fall as one nation and one people," Obama said as he declared victory at McCormick Place.
"Tonight, in this election, you the American people reminded us that while our road has been hard, while our journey has been long, we have picked ourselves up. We have fought our way back and we know in our hearts that for the United States of America, the best is yet to come.
"I want to thank every American who participated in this election. Whether you voted for the very first time or waited in line for a very long time — by the way we have to fix that — whether you pounded the pavement or picked up the phone, whether you held an Obama sign or a Romney sign, you made your voice heard, and you made a difference."
Obama said he spoke with Republican challenger Mitt Romney and congratulated him and running mate Paul Ryan "on a hard fought campaign."
"We may have battled fiercely but it's only because we love this country deeply and we care so strongly about its future," Obama said.
With Stevie Wonder's "Signed, Sealed, Delivered (I'm Yours)" blaring over the loudspeaker, Obama took to the stage shortly after 12:30 a.m. with first lady Michelle Obama and their two daughters, Malia and Sasha.
Waving small American flags, the crowd chanted "four more years."
Obama was predicted to win key battleground states to notch the electoral votes needed to claim victory, and early Wednesday moved ahead of Romney in the popular vote.
Earlier, a sea of people let loose with a deafening, thunderous roar that held for nearly 10 minutes filled the hall at McCormick Place at news that Obama was headed to re-election.
The song "How you like me now," blared over the speakers at Obama's election night headquarters. People hugged and danced. Some kicked in a chorus line. Joy reigned.
"We're all in this together. That's how we campaigned, and that's who we are. Thank you," Obama Tweeted after major networks declared him the winner.
Romney conceded shortly before midnight.
"I have just called President Obama to congratulate him on his victory," Romney said, congratulating the Democrat's supporters as well. "I wish all of them well."
Obama was the projected winner in the key battleground states of Iowa, Pennsylvania, New Hampshire, Wisconsin and Ohio and expected to tally 303 electoral votes, ahead of Romney's 206.
The two were neck-and-neck in the popular vote. Obama had 50 percent to Romney's 49 percent. For the president that meant 55,215,590 votes, some 1.1 million more than Romney's 54,061,372, according to CNN.
Republicans were predicted to take the House of Representatives again, handing Obama another challenge of overcoming Washington gridlock. Democrats were expected to again take the U.S. Senate, however.
On his way into Obama's Election Day headquarters, Mayor Rahm Emanuel said Obama stole away voters that Romney believed were to be his stronghold.
"People keep saying his main coalition are minorities and women but they're going to have to take a closer look at that," Emanuel said of Obama's steamrolling the critical states of Iowa and likely Florida and Ohio. "He won Iowa and Iowa is heavily white, heavily old. He won Florida. Florida is heavily old. It's because the president is more trusted on Medicare."
Early exit polls showed that 60 percent of Hispanic voters in Florida went for Obama.
Moving forward, in this next term, Emanuel said immediate challenges to be tackled include tax and immigration reform, strengthening education and Medicare.
Major networks as well as the Associated Press put the all-important swing state of Ohio in Obama's column. No Republican has won the White House without winning Ohio.
The apparent victory capped a nail-biter of a night.
Wisconsin ultimately went to Obama – keeping with the tradition it's held since 1984 of carrying a Democrat for president. Both candidates spent considerable time in the final days of their marathon campaigns wrestling over the Badger State's 10 electoral votes. Bruce Springsteen boosted Obama in a Madison, Wis., rally on Monday. Polls had owed it remained in play, in part thanks to Romney picking Janesville, Wis. native Paul Ryan as his vice presidential running mate.
"Like so many of you, Paul and I have left everything on the field," Romney said of his running mate during his concession speech. "We have given our all to this campaign. I so wish I woud have been able to fulfill your hopes to lead this country in another direction."
Each campaign just concluded a flurry of last-minute rallying in key battleground states. That included a last-minute change by Romney, who made visits to Pennsylvania and Ohio Tuesday. He was headquartered in Boston Tuesday.
Obama finished his campaign where it began for him — in Iowa. He then flew to Chicago where he played hoops on Tuesday to give in to an Election Day superstition and had dinner with his family at his Kenwood home. His daughters flew to Chicago from Washington, D.C., after school on Tuesday.
At McCormick Place, Obama's re-election headquarters, crowds filled the great hall by 9 p.m. Supporters, surrogates and celebrities were on site watching results come in. Some celebrities were spotted heading to the VIP area, including Hollywood Actress Vivica Fox.
"He's going to win and his victory is going to usher in an American renaissance," said U.S. Rep. Bobby Rush (D-Ill.) "A renaissance of jobs creation, business creation, a more robust energy policy. President Obama is up to the task. And he's the only one that the American people trust to bring America out of its doldrums."
In his victory speech, Obama said "despite all the hardship we've been through, despite all frustrations of Washington, I've never been more hopeful about our future."
"I believe we can seize this future together because we're not as divided as our politics suggest," he said. "We're not as cynical as the pundits believe. We are greater than the sum of our individual ambitions, and we remain more than a collection of red states and blue states. We are and forever will be the United States of America and together with your help and God's grace, we will continue our journey forward and remind the world just why it is we live in the greatest nation on earth. Thank you America. God bless you. God bless these United States."
The great hall inside McCormick Place was divided into two sections, the general hall, and a smaller "Special Guest" section requiring a second credential for entry.
Three generations were represented in the Brantley-Tate family who proudly entered the Special Guest section. The South Holland family — grandmother Johnnie Tate, 73, daughter Rhonda Brantley, 51, and granddaughter Kiara Brantley Jones, 18 — had driven to Racine, Wis., to knock on doors, and to Milwaukee to support an Obama rally.
"I am here because of his being genuine, from the heart, for real and not a flip-flopper," said Johnnie Tate. "I supported him where ever I was needed."

NBA Basketball team who has won 2 championships, and one *championship in the last decade. A very old team (average age) with a Solid coach, boring Center/Forward (who looks like the sea-hag on Popeye), and other misc euro trash players. (yes argentina is lumped in there). The best thing about the Spurs is their point guard's wife.
Damn... did you see Kobe light up them Spurs again last night? Too bad that will probably be their last trip to the playoffs for quite a while.
作者 BC from HB - CA
The best football team in the world..

Stretch blend colorblock socks
Material: 38% Acrylic, 38% Rayon, 22% Polyester, 2% Spandex
Care: Machine wash
Brand: 2(x)ist
Origin: Imported
The mathematical symbol in the middle of its name is the only thing remotely square about 2(x)ist, the preeminent brand for designer men's underwear. Forget the whole boxers-versus-briefs debate: Men who take pride in every layer of their wardrobe have learned to seek out Carbon, Bold, Soy (yes, it's eco-friendlier), and other scintillating lines from this envelope-nudging company. You'll never again have to sacrifice comfort for style — or vice versa, particularly since the brand has a mandate that doesn't end with underwear: look to 2(x)ist for stylish socks, undershirts and loungewear to round out your collection.

I'm kind of irritated with Black Friday and all of its ugliness. I have no problem working tomorrow (if I hadn't made it known, I work as a sales associate at Walmart now where I've been since early October). The store is hosting a luncheon for us associates working, which is nice of them. I asked for the morning shift, uncommon for me since I usually work the evening into the night. They willingly gave me a short day so I can spend it with family.
However, even though I won't be working the 'events,' which will happen at 8 PM, 10 PM and 12 AM, the entire aura of Black Friday is as ugly as the name. It makes Thanksgiving look like a joke so people can save money on something they truly don't need. It takes away from the entire premise of the holiday, even if it's a day after. Cyber Monday I have absolutely no problem with, because it's not stealing the limelight from a holiday celebrating giving thanks.
I'll still be working on Friday, just later in the morning cleaning up all the mess from those who came and trampled their peers, elders and children to get the first copy of the latest video game. Such a joke this 'holiday' is...Black Fucking Friday.

Track List:

2. Gates Of Namathur 13:50
3. Decadent Splendour 12:53
4. Among The Ruins 12:05
5. The Fortress
"Second 'chapter' in the Hall Of Mirrors saga, a project that hides the
fervid minds of Giuseppe Verticchio (Nimh) and Andrea Marutti (Amon).
On this release they're supported by Andrea Freschi (Subinterior, Konau...)
and Andrea Ferraris (Ur, Sil Muir…), who gave their contributions with
additional sound sources. Another long and fascinating journey among the
ruins of lost and ancient civilizations, among desolate landscapes 'forgotten
by time'… To enrich the already busy electronic stratifications, among
slowly evolving ambient sonorities and occasional parts of more sharp and
'rough' elements of a post-Industrial nature, we also find suggestive sound
of reverberating flutes and dilated electric guitar parts, ending with delicate
melodic arpeggios and evocative rhythmic accents of a vague cinematic
taste. The adventure goes on..." (Silentes)

Like any other celebration, New Orleans ups the ante when it comes to the uniqueness and deliciousness of holiday dishes. From soul food to seafood, the city's chefs and home cooks eagerly anticipate the chance to show off their latest and greatest recipes to family, friends, and customers alike.
If you'll be in New Orleans this holiday season, but you or your hosts don't have the time or energy to cook a huge dinner for family and friends, local restaurants have you covered. You can enjoy traditional holiday fare like turkey with roast chestnut and mushroom bread budding and oyster dressing from Commander's Palace, just up the road from Southern Comfort B&B.
You could go traditional with a local twist, like turducken gumbo, fried turkey, and Abita root-beer glazed ham at Red Fish Grill. Or you can enjoy whatever meat, seafood, or sides you might be craving, such as steak, oyster stuffing, and gingered sweet potatoes at Besh Steak or grilled veal loin with sweetbread sauce or grilled grouper at Criollo in the Hotel Monteleone.

I associate Cinnabon with the sinfully delicious and totally fat and calorie laden deserts that can be found in numerous malls. Therefore when I saw Cinnabon Cinnamon Crunch Cereal at my local grocery store, I was excited and turned off all at the same time! After glancing at the nutritional panel, I just knew that I had to share my find with Iateapie.net readers.
The nutritional information is almost unbelievable for a Cinnabon product. There are only 11 ingredients, with Whole Oat Flour, Whole Brown Rice Flour and Turbinado Brown Sugar as the first three. Makara Cinnamon, a delicacy made only by Cinnabon, also makes a bold statement! Each 1 cup serving provides 150 calories, 1.5 grams of fat (3% of the daily value), no saturated fat or sodium, 3 grams of protein and 31 grams of carbohydrates which includes 3 grams of fiber (11% of the DV) and 10 grams of sugar. Cinnabon Cinnamon Crunch Cereal also contains 20 grams of whole grain per serving.
After looking at the nutrition facts, I decided to eat this as a snack/ dessert instead of cereal with milk, so I poured some dry cereal into a bowl and was surprised to see that the cereal closely resembled the picture on the box! Each piece of Cinnabon Cinnamon Crunch flaunts a light honey sugar coating over an airy, yet compact wheat swirl. The first bite was not quite what I was expecting. I have always imagined Cinnabon to produce overly sweet treats, which this was not. Instead, it possessed a mildly sweet and buttery cinnamon flavor. The taste exhibits a slight resemblance to an actual cinnamon roll, but on a much lower scale.
All in all, this cereal is an appealing, crunchy and satisfying indulgence. The $3.79 that I spent on this cereal (each box has 9 servings) is more than I am usually willing to pay, but intrigue got the best of me! If this cereal ever goes on sale, I would buy it again for a subtle treat. This cereal is living proof that you should not "judge a book by its cover."

The rug was exactly as advertised! Just what we wanted and it was shipped promptly. Glad we went to RugsUSA
RECOMMENDED: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend.About a year ago, I purchased a larger version of this rug in Bluestone for the living room and loved it, so this year, I purchased a smaller one for the dining room, since the rooms are open to each other. I was pleasantly surprised to see that, while the color was identical, the pattern was proportionately smaller, to fit the size of the rug. Needless to say, they look great when seen together, and each fits the room it is in. These rugs are soft under bare feet and easy to clean. (I must admit that because every section of the pattern is multi-toned, dirt doesn't show nearly as much as with a solid color!) This is a quality American-made rug. The rug arrived exactly on time and in perfect condition.
RECOMMENDED: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend.Great doorway rugs.
RECOMMENDED: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend.The blue in the rug brings the bue out of my couch. That was the touch I was looking for.
RECOMMENDED: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend.love this rug
RECOMMENDED: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend.
Whether the environment you want to create is exotic or romantic and peaceful, Milliken has a rug that will pull the colors and the feel of your room together while adding the perfect touch. Milliken protects all its rugs by an exclusive five year warranty against abrasive wear.

40 Beautiful Backyards
Mood setter
A koi pond says serenity when situated next to a seating area shaded by trees and multiple umbrellas in this Twin Cities backyard.
Extended use
Screened patios extend your season outdoors and transition to patios. Plantings of hydrangeas echo the blues in the seating area and white of this Door County, Wisconsin, home.
Feature water
Any water feature adds beautiful sounds and movement to a yard. This Door County, Wisconsin, yard incorporates a waterfall into the pond and one leading to the stream. Using native rock around it blends it seamlessly into the landscape. Koi add a flash of color.
Outdoor kitchen
This outdoor kitchen works hard so you don't have to. Stone stands up to the elements, and there is every appliance you could need to serve gourmet fare.
Frame the scene
Witch hazel forms a colorful backdrop to this seating area in a suburban Chicago home. Mums echo the color scheme. The fire pit is portable, adding to its practicality.
Small-space makeover
This homeowner in Columbus, Ohio, divided his 50x50-foot backyard—bookended by house and garage—into four outdoor rooms filled with amenities for relaxing or entertaining.
A place to relax
Bamboo, a hammock and a koi pond offer a bit of the tropics—and an appealing place to relax—in this Kansas City yard.
Up and away
Having just a sliver of yard in Chicago's Lincoln Park neighborhood couldn't squash this homeowner's dreams for a stunning outdoor retreat. His solution? Escape to the roof.
Inviting entrance
An arbor supporting summer-blooming clematis and honeysuckle leads to a prairie garden in this Illinois backyard. Twig chairs and a sculpture made from old garden and farm implements add whimsy.
Curving beds
Undulating beds of low-maintenance perennials give a finished look to your landscape and decrease yard chores. Wide green paths curve through this yard in Brown Deer, Wisconsin, a suburb of Milwaukee.
Connect home and nature
Architectural elements unite this covered patio to the home, as do the ceiling fan, chandeliers, upholstered furniture and fireplace. Brick and wood keep it tied to nature.
Add whimsy
This sweet gazebo in a Grayslake, Illinois, yard adds whimsy via its color scheme and its gingerbread-type trim elements.
Lush look
Pile on the amenities for a showstopper setting. Multiple seating areas, artistic touches, a pergola and a mix of textures combine to treat the senses in this Kansas City, Missouri, yard.
Go bold!
The view from this Chicago-area backyard goes wild with color applied in geometric blocks, transforming a plain-Jane facade into a bright backdrop.
Dress up your shed
The back of a shed becomes a canvas for artists in this Janesville, Wisconsin, garden. What would you paint?
Shady setting
If your yard is shaded, use it to your advantage: Plant hostas like the ones lining this babbling brook in a Stillwater, Minnesota, yard.
Make connections
A low bridge links two parts of this yard while also marking the transition from formal landscaping to a more natural look.
Creative play
A Nebraska family with two young boys created a backyard that's fun for both kids and adults. The face on the tree adds a touch of humor; winding paths and a stream appeal to all ages.
Create a vista
If your yard lacks a view, create one. Gazing balls and an arbor add special touches in this Wisconsin garden.
Warm the woods
Dense tree cover doesn't have to leave you in the cold. Pick a fire pit sized to warm a seating area in the shade. Ferns and hostas fill the shade with bright greenery.
Classy touch
Hidden among plantings, this classically designed fountain is a hard-working element: It's decorative and provides noise-camouflaging water music in a Chicago garden.
Think big
A large brick fireplace dominates a tiny patio in one corner of an Ohio yard. Evergreen hedges frame the area and lend a formal note to the rustic scene.
Go vertical
Plant vertically for an eye-catching focal point in your yard. In this Door County, Wisconsin, garden, framed sedum and succulents make living art.
Dramatic contrasts
A stone fireplace and wood flooring and beams give this covered patio a rustic nature, but the wave recliner, nesting table and chair set, and carved chair say modern styling.
Intimate seating
This tiny patio tucked into a yard provides seating for two, warmed by a diminutive fire pit in a Twin Cities backyard.
Japanese theme
A dry stream bed—each stone selected and placed by the Illinois homeowner—is just one of many elements that make up this backyard Japanese garden.
Cool by the pool
A trellis in the backyard of this traditional home provides shady seating by the pool of this Barrington, Illinois, home.
Outdoor rooms
With a living room, dining room and kitchen, outdoor living is just as comfy as it is indoors.
Beautiful trees
Create visual interest in your backyard just by choosing out-of-the-ordinary trees. The unusual shape of the Weeping Norway Spruce at right and the delicate Japanese maple at left draw attention in this Illinois garden.
Duplicate your architecture
Echo your home's architecture in out buildings such as this one, which could function as a pool house or garden shed.
Sweet spot
The little-used spot behind the house or garage makes a great place for a gathering spot. Fashion a simple setting with a gravel base and some towers of cement blocks with a wood top. Park the barbecue there and pot some plants for a little color. An umbrella in a stand casts shade if you need.
Courtyard magic
An enclosed yard transforms into a magical courtyard when vines, trees and plants soften the walls.
Simple spot
Any corner of a yard becomes a retreat with the addition of an outdoor rug and seating. Two urns support a plank for a table; pillows soften the bench.
Step it up
Three wide steps transition from the yard to a wide deck featuring an area for conversation and one for dining. Note how accessories pull the house color onto the deck.
Permanent fixtures
Bench, bar and fire pit are permanent. Their stonework emphasizes that, but cushions, pillows and plants soften the scene.
Destination escape
Surrounded by lush plantings, a table sits on pavers almost overgrown with greenery. Centerpieces of potted plants enhance the garden theme, and a fountain adds a burble. The combination creates the feel of an escape—no matter how close to neighbors.
Carve out a corner
With a drive running behind this home, the owners had to carve out privacy. Surrounded by planters and picket fence, the simple pad is fun and functional. Two tables, a buffet and a stunning light keep the party zone useful day into night.
Two tiers of function
These homeowners make the most of the space below their deck with seating, a hanging chair and curtains that close for privacy.
Dining niche
Placing a picnic table in a nook between planters makes for a shady dining area, and the planter walls guarantee privacy.
Spots of color
Carrying color of accessorizes throughout the yard harmonizes the look.

The definition of Reality television is what I thought, after looking into it more. http://en.wikipedia....lity_television
Here's more info http://electronics.h.../reality-tv.htm
That was the original premise of Reality TV, which largely grew out of COPS (which is heavily edited, but still the closest thing to a true reality show), but it didn't take long for production companies to realize that if they could actively participate and increase the level of drama, as well as RELIABLY create drama on a schedule rather than waiting and hoping something interesting happens, then their show would be worth more. Most of these reality shows have a team of writers, producers, and production assistants who manufacture a lot of the drama and do so on a schedule. This creates a "sure thing" that makes networks feel much more comfortable about their ability to sell advertising (and advertisers more comfortable about buying it).
Also, understand that a large percentage of the people in reality shows, especially prime-time shows, are ACTORS (up-and-coming, unknown actors) who sign up for every reality show that comes down the road. Same with cooking shows: there is a pool of "wanna-be celebrity chefs" who try out for all the cooking shows, and a number of them have been in different shows. The media likes to pretend these are all just random people off the street, but that's almost never the case.
The ONLY safe assumption you can ever make about ANY media is that it has been manipulated by the producers in some way. Maybe it's just to increase the entertainment value or the quality, and maybe it's for a more sinister purpose, but NONE of them are simply a camera that's set up and left rolling, with unedited footage being aired. Remember that.

In Jesse Jackson Jr.'s South Shore neighborhood, mix of scorn and pity

There was a dash of pity and a lot of scorn in Jesse Jackson Jr.'s South Shore community Wednesday after he resigned as congressman.
"I think he's sick," Delphine Brooks, 59, a CPS school nurse, said while walking along the 71st Street business district.
"He doesn't look well. For him to not appear like he's been doing," that's out of character. "He's handed out turkeys to folks around here in the past. I just wish him well."
Down the block, at the B Selfish barber shop, constituents let it fly.
"He had the chance to do good by his people and he didn't," said Donyel Walker, 29, looking up momentarily from a head of hair he was trimming.
"He's more of a super star than a leader. He was only re-re-elected because no one had ever heard of the other guys on the ballot," Walker said.
"It's about time he's gone," said September Wilson, 50, a community activist, who was also at the barber shop. "He's set us back, as far as progress in the African-American community."
Others questioned the sincerity of his health problems.
"He's been trying to play bipolar and everything but that's just an excuse to try to buy time to think of his next move," said Christopher Taylor, a 33-year-old student who previously served eight years in the Army. "His resignation is no surprise."
Leroy Ricks, who runs a bike repair shop on 71st, said Jackson may have "slipped up" but is "innocent until proven guilty."
"He won re-election so he'd have more bargaining power, more leverage . . . It's the way it's always been done in Chicago politics. Ain't nothing fair about it. It's not a question of fair, that don't even factor into it," Ricks said.

Following last season's conservative approach to neoclassic revivals, the Spring / Summer 2012 season affords fashion design an urge for eccentricity coupled with a desire to suspend time and to fuse polarities.
The inherent eccentricity expressed in Spring / Summer 12' design conjoin maximalism with simplicity, facilitating greater consistency and uniformity, with an intentional glance toward functionality. This season aims to convey freedom as a breath of fresh air via aggressive colour combinations, a refined eccentricity towards an unexpected functionality
One of the biggest trends for this upcoming Spring/Summer 2012 season found on numerous runways were voluminous & organic accessories featuring layered and patterned geometries with funky-art decors. Contrary to last season, this is a softer evolution from Autumn/Winter 11's accessories which embodied hard structures, dramatic sharp edges, and classic design simplicities. This season seeks to reinterpret the classics by fusing elements of surprise (via colours & materials) into traditional designs, while embracing a softer more voluminous approach from last season. While intentionally embracing strong contrasts between colours featuring eccentric hues, the products become softer yet strikingly colourful- this season is thus about attitude & bold statements. With a tough-luxe carefree mindset, fashion design becomes like a breath of fresh air with a nouveau-individuality punctuated with a quirky-cool aesthetic
Fusing the looks of crocodile and solid leather, Mocha Luxe is a versatile bag that goes well with both casual and classic looks. This model can be worn as a tote or a shoulder bag, making it the perfect practical yet stylish accessory for this season.
One of this season's ''it-collections'' is entitled "Veronika", meaning'true image' in German. Soft & feminine yet sophisticated & classic, this collection is loyal to the true image of women with elegance
Handcrafted in Italy from original cowhide, the Kitty bag features a signature metal T bar as its clasp. Functional, stylish & sophisticated , the Kitty bag harmonises practicality with a vibrant flair using top quality materials

Pacifist has been hard at work keeping the server alive (during the course of this project he has switched hosts a few times and done hardware upgrades on the latest DB server), and in the odd scraps of spare time he has he is managing to deal with paypal issues and keeping users registered.
It is a fine miracle he has released an update today! Here's a quick rundown of the major features:
- The full soundtrack has been restored! Registered users will now hear the full-length 5-minute soundtrack. It'll be much less annoying, I swear. I have it running on repeat while I work. It's really toe-tapping when it gets into it!
- Gameplay Change: You can no longer attach a single stick to two points on the same wheel. This is the cause of many of the wacky-physics bugs that occur and also was fairly useless as the sticks didn't interact with the terrain anyway. All previous designs you may have with this kind of setup will break (one end of the rod will fall off when you hit Go).
- Gameplay Change: You can no longer build a stick on top of another stick (going from the same joint to the same joint). This caused some confusion as it made some water-sticks look like wood-sticks (and can also cause physics glitches).
- The music on/off preference is now stored in a cookie
- Fixed a bug in the level editor where you couldn't delete goal blocks or circles (the pink ones) when you are editing a saved level
- Fixed another exploit where you could build items outside of the blue build-it box
- Fixed a bug where the "de-animate blue sticks"-button was not showing the correct state
- Fixed an oversight where people could delete other people's saved levels
- Some random small code changes and security upgrades to the server
Edit2: Then there was a beer-induced bug that made every level load as the level "four". Woops! fixed. Refresh again.
Known Bug: A new bug was identified upon this release - it existed before release too, but it looks like very complicated contraptions will not store in the database properly (and upon load will just show a blank screen). The root cause of this bug has been found but the fix hasn't been put in place yet; it shouldn't affect you unless you build fantastic monstrosities. There are only 3 confirmed cases of it so far. ETA: Soon.

Potato chips are one of life's guilty pleasures. I was over at a friend's house for lunch when she brought out a bag of Herr's Reduced-fat Kettle Cooked Chips. These all natural chips have 25% less fat than regular Herr's Kettle Chips. As someone who loves potato chips, and especially kettle-cooked chips, I eagerly portioned myself out a hefty handful.
The chips look just like any other potato chip I've tried, except noticeably thicker and darker. I popped one into my mouth and crunched down. They're crispy, salty, and delicious with a pure potato flavor accented by salt. They're not greasy, which is a big plus, as these chips are still fried.
A 1 ounce serving of Herr's Reduced Fat Kettle Cooked Chips provides 135 calories, 6 grams of total fat which includes 1.5 grams of saturated fat (9% and 7% of the daily value), 180 mg sodium (8% of the DV), 1 gram of fiber and 2 grams of protein.
The ingredient list is marvelously short: Choice potatoes cooked in vegetable oil and salt.
Lays Reduced Fat Kettle Cooked Chips has a little less saturated fat, 0.5 grams (3% of the daily value), and is just as tasty; and Kettle New York Cheddar with Herbs Kettle Chips has similar nutrition facts, but is more expensive.
A 16 ounce bag of Herr's Reduced Fat Kettle Cooked Chips costs $3.79 (half that of Kettle brand), which is quite reasonable. While I'll have to keep from sitting down with the whole bag at once, I'll definitely indulge in these now and again.

The capstone of my personal branding journey was a photoshoot that took me, Kali and make-upartist Laura Franco to Brian McConkey's photo studio. For some reason I didn't hear that taking photos, or headshots, was also a part of my personal branding experience. It took a little twisting of my arm to make it happen because in my mind, I already had a professional photo of myself. Kali said that my photo (the first image in the gallery below) didn't quite capture my essence or my brand so I needed to take new ones.
I've know that many executives are "branding "themselves even within their own corporations. I've even had some clients who've made videos introducing themselves and their mission for their company or for job interviews. I just never though about having a personal photoshoot to capture my brand.
For a few hours I was like a fashion model and it was THE most fun!
It was just as you'd imagine: energizing music, fans, lights and props and then, bonus: internationally acclaimed photographer Brian McConkey. I had someone there to help me with the clothing that my stylist Maegan suggested would be flatteringin photographs. Ms. Franco was great. She "beat my face" as they say, complete with air brush foundation. I looked beautiful. She was there throughout the shoot to make sure everything stayed fresh and perfect.
After all of that fun, the photos were ready to review immediately!
Now I have modern, brand aligned photos for my bio, website, Facebook and LinkedIn pages. The feedback has been overwhelmingly positive and has opened up a few conversations with associates that I haven't been in touch with for a while.
Looking at these photos I am beginning to see what Kali saw: the potential in my outward appearance and that I could not even begin to imagine when we began this journey. The photos have helped me to see myself differently. In the past, I just focused on how I felt on the inside, but there is an interesting power that comes from the confidence of knowing that I actually look the way I feel.
I'm so grateful for the updates, which motivates me to continue to take good care of myself. I've definitely had a seismic shift in self-esteem from experiencing doors opened by the new images. Now, I'm inspired to reach even higher.
Who knew a photoshoot could matter.

The Parc Monceau is one of the first landscape parks to be constructed in Paris. It was designed the French revolution and eventually became a public park in a very affluent quarter of Paris. The original designer said that he intended it "to bring together all ages and all parts of the world in a single garden". Many time periods and cultural representations are presented here such as a Roman ruin, an Egyptian pyramid and other buildings that were each inspired by China, the Middle Ages and other periods dating back many centuries. The Parc Monceau is a very romantic conception that is made even more romantic by the lovers of Paris itself.
The Parc Monceau is not very big but it is extremely attractive and only a thirty minute walk from the Place de l'Opera. visitors enjoy shady walks with leafy bowers, ponds and everything that makes Paris a romantic destination. There is even a famous pond known as the "Naumachie," that is encircled by a fluted Corinthian column. The colonnade is so overgrown with vines that it looks like it could be thousands of years old. There is absolutely no formal order in the park. The trees grow naturally and the walks curve around in unexpected ways. The lawns are littered with broken Roman columns, archways and forgotten statuary. This is truly a wonderful sight to see when you stay in a hotel near Parc Monceau Paris.
