The executive search company Neumann International currently directs a growing number of headquaters worldwide. In order to create a consistant image S.DREI Architektur was assigned to design an architectural Corporate Identity that would take into account the surrounding conditions and parameter fundamentals for the spatial adaption of these rented offices on every location or site.
The creative overall concept takes into consideration a spectrum of possible prerequisites; the offices are situated in modern high-rise buildings similar to that of a historical palace, their size ranges between 150 and 900 sq m, and because they are rented premises, the interventions made will be designed in such a way that all changes can be reversed to its original state.
The base repertoire is comprised of a 'room in room' concept with consistent uniform furniture, partitioned walls and wooden boarding with intergrated indirect light, the use of the color white aswell as a functional pattern that would respond to the specific needs of the various working situations within the company. Untill this day, the corporate architecture for Neumann International has been realised for 14 office locations and it is a work in progress. This particular project is the office in Paris, situated at the well known Avenue des Champs Elysées, completed in 2008. S.DREI have also designed the offices for Neumann International AG in Vienna, Austria; Milan & Rome, Italy; Moscow, Russia; Bratislava, Slovakia; Prague, Czech Republic; Kyiv, Ukraine; Sofia, Bulgaria; Bucharest, Rumania; Warsaw, Poland and Shanghai, China, and continues to develop Neumann offices all over the world.

Your photos are incredible. Thanks for posting! LOVE your Mardi Gras! Stunning! It doesn't look to be very available, darn! |
Buyorsell, a hint: the browser does not know who uses it. If I can add your pictures, anyone (including you) can do this too. The links you were adding to the post about trailing Heucheras is crooked. It contains some extraneous stuff. Here is what you entered:  And here the correct link for the same image of that trailing Heuchera:  I am not sure how it gets crooked, but you can definitely fix this. Either clean up the HTML code manually, or make sure that it was copied correctly before submitting it. I tried using your albums from different computers and different browsers. Obviously, I could not log in, so I used them as an outside user. Maybe, you should log off and see if the links are copied OK? |

I manually type the HTML code and I right click and "copy image location" same as I've been doing for years. I am logged on to Photobucket when I do it, usually. I also have had the same exact error copying the HTML code they provide in the little box under share I can see the photos when I "preview message" and then the error appears only after I post. All of my pics are now giving the error, even some I posted months ago that were fine and others commented on and could clearly see. |

I did nothing different. I just don't understand. Probably Crimson Curls |

That was manually entering the HTML and pasting the copied photo URL. I saw the photo clearly on preview. This is using their link for clickable thumbnail I have never used the Photobucket links, I've always manually typed the HTML. I don't like the links showing when I look at my photos and have them hidden. |
There is a Test forum. You can experiment there and figure out what goes wrong when your picture does not appear on the final page. The link for Crimson Curls (the one that did not show up) is crooked again - I can see this in the page source. |

Sorry, I didn't know there was a test forum. Purple/silver one I said was outstanding above is 'Shanghai' Bright red flowers belong to 'Cherries Jubilee' Noid in the first post is 'Ebony And Ivory' |

The Raptors may not be playing right now, but that doesn't mean we're not keeping tabs on them all over the world.
Straight from Lithuanian news site lrytas.lt, it appears that Raptors centre Jonas Valanciunas is engaged. Congrats to the big man!
Meanwhile, DeMar DeRozan was kicking it back home in California. Not surprisingly, this got posted to his instagram account after a late night workout at his alma mater of USC.
Rudy Gay was also putting in work this weekend, heading to beautiful Milan to represent the NBA at the NBA 3X Milan event. Follow Rudy's official instagram account for even more from his trip.
Amir Johnson meanwhile, seemed to be on a theme park bender…
… while Terrence Ross was posing for a fashion shoot …
… and for the sake of balance, let's bookend this post with another engagement shoot featuring a Raptors centre. Congrats to Aaron Gray!

About Me Bride to Be
Comments about InvitationsByDawn for Truly Inspired - Ecru - Featherpress Invitation:
Product Comments: Invitations are not a big ticket item for my wedding budget. My taste leans toward artisan, high-end, classic. I love the look of Letterpress but they cost a fortune and I am already spending additional money on my Calligrapher. These invitations are the perfect solution! The Ecru paper also appears more high-end and pairs great with Charcoal ink. I used the Pearl liner for the envelopes and was pleasantly surprised that it was an Ecru Pearl, not a White Pearl. They match perfectly! One additional note, the service by IBD was superb. I accidentally ordered the White instead of the Ecru. They were able to switch it around for me quickly and easily. Glad I ordered the $5 proof too! All in all, extremely happy with this purchase. I will recommend "Invitations By Dawn" to all of my friends!
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend
Was this review helpful? Yes / No
By amgwfrom Florida
Product Comments: I opted for the dark burgundy ink to match my wedding colors. I even contacted customer service prior to purchase to ensure that the color shown on the website was actually a dark burgundy. After being assured it was actually burgundy and not red or any other color, I made the purchase. The invitations that arrived looked like the ink was faded. While this may have been the intent and style they intended, it made the ink come out pink. Obviously pink invitations were not at all what I wanted to pay for and my fiancé was not impressed with such girly invitations.
Bottom Line No, I would not recommend this to a friend
By Tiffanyfrom Shreveport, Louisiana
Comments about InvitationsByDawn for :
Product Comments: These are great! i was a little nervous at first, so i had them ship me a sample. I was pleased with the sample so i ordered my wedding invitations! They are beautiful & i have received lots of compliments on them. i highly recommend this product if you love letterpress but are on a budget. The customer service was also friendly, patient, and extremely helpful to this nervous/anxious bide.

I absolutely love this washing machine. I love that it predicts the amount of water needed for the load by the amount of clothes on there. I just had one problem with it and that was due to an error with my contractor who installed it incorrectly. The contractor left the shipping bolt on the washing machine and I had no idea and did some loads and it threw the washing machine off balance. I had a local repairman come in a fix the issue and I can say that even with that issue the washer has continued to work to superior status and I would definitely recommend it to a friend! :)

This is the worst washing machine I have ever purchased. I have ruined several pieces of clothing trying to figure this machinery out! No two cycles are ever the same no matter what settings you try! It does not cover the clothes with enough water to clean them, thus the detergent stains your clothes. I've even tried the "extra rinse and spin". There is no indicator light for the rinse cycle, so you have no idea when to add the fabric softener. Forget an accessory like the Downy Ball. It won't open until the cycle is finished thus pouring Downy all over the clothes requiring yet another wash! The shortest wash cycle is at least an hour and 15 minutes."HEAVY DUTY" means only 3-4 bath towels. I have 2 small children and laundry is a daily chore. This washer is for a single person who can selectively wash 3 or 4 pieces at a time.

Not pleased
By foxypam
from Undisclosed
The washer has not made me happy. First you cant select a size load yourself but most it does not fill and wash clothes on hot in even warm water. I have had it checked into and learned there isn't anything I can do about it. It is just the way they are made. My guess is its part of their energyefficent ...by misleading.

Saving water and $$$
By Pinshark
Love the fact that since we bought this washer we have cut our water bill by 45% compared to old washer. Plus less detergent usage is saving us money. Quiet and Efficient are two huge perks in my opinion

Horrible Machine
By GY
Do not waste your money on a Frigidaire washer. This machine broke within 5 months of purchase and is still not working properly after having the motor replaced. It takes one hour to wash a load and often the clothes are still wet. We will not purchase a Frigidaire machine again.
this is the worst washer ever what ever made
By john
this thing is just takeing space in my apartment, look for another brand this thing is just a joke! very very disappointed we ended up returning it!
Throwing out money on the window!

This machine might be a good decoration in your laundry room, but nothing more than that, will do everything just will not wash your clothes. Very disappointed.

Hate this machine
By gj howard
I have never been so disappointed with any product I have ever owned. I think I could take my cloths to the muddy pond out back and get them cleaner. It is pretty bad when you have to run it through 2 cycles and still hang thing on the line and wash them down with the hose. Can't wait to go get another machine and I don't think it will be a Frigidaire.
Very Disappointing
By Ben
This is, without a doubt, the worst washer we have ever had. The impeller does not agitate. Even using whiteners and water softeners, it does not get our clothes clean. The spin cycle does not spin out all the water from our clothing, causing extra drying time. For what we paid, we could have gotten a great front loader. The engineers we've worked with concede that this product under performs. I would say, "Don't waste your money!"

I suppose if my Mom or sister had a super model body and everyone was drooling over her all of the time, I can see the anger.

He's mad because he thinks they are taking him back across the river.
She's too healthy looking to be a super model. I see meat on them bones not anorexia.
Mmmmmm…and her t!ts even look real.
I tried an image search … I wanted to see her face.
The boy just wants to drive the boat and he's not old enough.

- 6 dried pear halves, chopped
- 1/3 cup(s) crystallized ginger
- 1/2 cup(s) water
- 1 cup(s) low-fat granola, (without dried fruit)
- 16 ounce(s) nonfat or low-fat cottage cheese, (1 3/4 cups)
- 16 ounce(s) nonfat cream cheese
- 1/2 cup(s) granulated sugar
- 1/4 cup(s) packed light brown sugar
- 3 large eggs
- 1/3 cup(s) all-purpose flour
- 2 teaspoon(s) vanilla extract
- Preheat oven to 325 degrees F. Coat a 9-inch springform pan with cooking spray.
- Place pears, ginger and water in a medium saucepan; bring to a simmer over medium heat. Reduce heat to a gentle simmer, cover and cook until the liquid has been absorbed and the fruit is softened, 10 to 14 minutes.
- Meanwhile, process granola in a food processor or blender until finely ground. Pour it into the prepared pan; turn and tilt the pan to coat the sides and press down into the bottom to make an even layer.
- Transfer the pear mixture to a food processor; process until a coarse paste forms, scraping the sides of the bowl as necessary. Let cool for 10 minutes. Add cottage cheese and cream cheese; process until combined. Add granulated and brown sugars; process until smooth, scraping the sides as necessary. With the processor running, add eggs one at a time. Add flour and vanilla; process until creamy. Pour the batter into the prepared pan. Rap the pan against the counter a few times so the granola on the sides falls onto the batter, forming a decorative edge.
- Bake the cheesecake until set, without a jiggle at the center when the pan is tapped, about 50 minutes. Turn the oven off. Let the cheesecake stand in the oven, with the door ajar, for 1 hour.
- Transfer the cheesecake to a wire rack to cool for 1 hour. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 4 hours before serving.

I have brand new wood siding on my garage, the nails have been countersunk, and I'm prepping this new siding for paint.
2 questions. I have found online advice that says first to seal each countersunk nail with caulking, and then spot prime, before painting. I have also found online advice that says to spot prime these countersunk nails first, and then caulk to fill in the holes, afterwards. What do I do first? Prime and caulk? Or caulk, then prime? Secondly, the siding I have comes already "primed" with a very thin layer of paint or primer. Do I need to put additional primer on, before applying the final layers of paint? Thank you. |
Follow-Up Postings:
- Posted by richardkittyhawk (My Page) on Mon, May 12, 08 at 20:38
I have several questions. First, are the nails galvanized or stainless steel? Is the siding a hardi-panel or hardi-plank? I have not seen any real wood siding pre-primed in my market. If it is hardi-plank, I would prime the siding with a good latex 100% acrylic primer. You could use 123 by Zinsser, Suprime by Pratt and Lambert, or FreshStart by Ben Moore and then topcoat with your choice of paint. Every paint company will manufacture a 100% acrylic primer to use with their topcoat. The primer used on siding as well as steel doors is to protect the product in shipment. It is still intended to be primed before painting. I would highly recommend that your primer be manufactured by the same company as the paint for warranty reasons. Make sure you use a really high quality caulk. I have found that Big Stretch Caulk by Sashco is the easiest to work with of all the caulks on the market. It is paintable. It is a little expensive, but is very flexible and smooths out great. Consider having your primer tinted 1/4 to 1/2 formula of your topcoat color. It makes the paint cover better. The primer will still be a little light to the finish coat so you can see any areas you have missed when applying your topcoat. I do recommend two coats of finish paint. |

Most painters prime than caulk, but I don't like the texture of the primer when I'm smoothing caulk over it, so I caulk first. Personal preference, really. |
The general rule is to prime first and then caulk because caulk will stick better to the primer than to any other surface. Also, I think there is too much advice on the internet and other places by the 'pros' recommending that nail holes be filled with caulk. That is just not what caulk is for. If your goal is to get the nail holes to disappear, then caulk is the wrong thing to use. Because caulk shrinks so much, it is virtually impossible to fill a nail hole of any size flush with the surface, so it will never disappear...you will always see the holes as pits. You can use an exterior spackle or putty and there is also shrink free exterior spackling that you can buy that is sandable. It's not really shrink free, but you can overfill the holes and then sand flush when dry. |
- Posted by Jack(email@example.com) onWed, Jun 29, 11 at 11:55
as a professional, I always fill the nail/screw holes with caulk, immediately using a flat edge anything to flush it up, then move to the next one. Looks flawless when dry. Never have to put more in, the flat edge squishes the caulk into the hole. so with two quick movements after applying caulk to a few holes, use the flat edge to squish/press in, then the actual edge to flush it to the outside edge of what you're caulking. Wipe the excess off the flat edged item you're using and move on. Have used flat edge of |

130/30 Strategies as Expensive Beta
Mon, Dec 17, 2012 | Jared Woodard
Only a few years ago, 130/30 funds were all the rage. They allowed equity managers who had traditionally been bound to a long-only strategy to make use of short exposure to shape their portfolios. The ability to take short and levered long positions was supposed to reduce the overall riskiness of the portfolio and also to provide new ways to beat the benchmarks, e.g. by adding long exposure to the best stocks in a sector and taking short positions in the worst.
In "The Credit Suisse 130/30 Index: A Summary and Performance Comparison," Jasmina Hasanhodzic, Andrew W. Lo, and Pankaj N. Patel discuss a 130/30 benchmark that is intended to show how these sorts of strategies can beat traditional passive indexing. "[T]he magnitude of the performance drag" from long-only constraints is, in their words, "difficult to measure without a proper benchmark for a 130/30 portfolio." Their benchmark ranks stocks using familiar factors based on value, momentum, size, technical levels, earnings growth, etc. The back-tested results looked great:
A comparison of the cumulative returns of the Credit Suisse 130/30 Investable Index and other indexes, January 1996 – September 2007. Source: Hasanhodzic, Lo, and Patel.
The out of sample performance available when the paper was written covered one of the worst periods in recent market history, so we shouldn't jump to conclusions about the effectiveness of 130/30 factor strategies. In fact, the CS 130/30 index performed as intended, beating the passive indexes in terms of both performance and riskiness.
A comparison of the cumulative returns of the Credit Suisse 130/30 Index (Gross) and various other indexes, October 2007 – December 2008. Source: Hasanhodzic, Lo, and Patel.
An ETF was launched, the ProShares Credit Suisse 130/30 (CSM), making this an investable index, and with a few more years of distance from the financial crisis, we can look at how well this index has done at it's stated goal: again, to demonstrate why the long-only constraint on fund managers creates a meaningful drag on performance.
CSM and SPY Returns, July 2009 – December 2012. Source: Yahoo!
Since the fund was launched, it has actually underperformed the SPY ETF slightly, and with a correlation of 0.97, making CSM nothing but an expensive index proxy. The fund has done its job; it just seems that the thesis of the 130/30 strategy has been wrong over this period.

The real power of procedures is revealed in this article through the use of parameters and return values.
Written by Joe Pluta
This is the last article in this series on Prototyping for Productivity. This is where I finally put all the pieces together and remove a third of the code in my little sample program. More impressive, though, is that, through the magic of D-specs, I turn 13 executable lines of code into four. While there just wasn't much code in this particular program to remove, in a real production application, the amount of code removed can be significant. Not only that, it's the type of repetitive code (validation, formatting, etc.) that is naturally prone to typographic errors—the kind that compile but cause errors.
Do you know all the kinds of pointers and understand what they do?
Written by Junlei Li
In i5/OS, machine interface (MI) pointers are used to represent many things:

Policy 5410 - State Liability Travel Card
Effective Date: 1/1/2012
Responsible Office: Comptroller's Office
Louisiana Tech University has entered into an agreement with the State of Louisiana and Bank of America that provides qualified employees with a State Liability Travel Card to pay for specific, higher cost travel expenses, incurred during travel for official state business.
Louisiana Tech University will continue to utilize the CBA (Controlled Billed Account) that is part of the Louisiana "LaCarte" Purchasing Card program and will not issue additional CBA accounts under the Travel Card program.
As a State agency, Louisiana Tech University is bound by certain State and Federal regulations and laws. To ensure compliance with these requirements, cardholders must adhere to the guidelines outlined in the application and cardholder agreement. The policies in the application and agreement, as well as any revisions by the Office of the Comptroller, pertaining to the program must be followed when using the State Liability Travel Card.
This policy and procedures does not negate any current requirement and/or allowances in PPM 49 (Policy and Procedure Memorandum 49, the State of Louisiana's general travel regulations), including the travel authorization/expense forms which must be completed for all non-routine travel, conferences, and out-of state travel, as well as Purchasing Policies, Rules, and Regulations, Louisiana Statutes, and Executive Orders.
No employee may qualify for a State Liability Travel Card if their State of Louisiana Corporate Travel Individual Liability account has been revoked due to charge-offs and/or non-payment or if their account currently has a balance. All Individual Liability accounts must be paid in full prior to consideration for a State Liability Travel Card. Travel advances should not be provided to any employee who does not qualify for a State Liability Travel Card.
- Overview
- Description of Travel Card
- The State Liability Travel Card ("Travel Card") is a VISA account issued by the Bank of America for the State of Louisiana. The Travel Card may be used by Louisiana Tech University employees to purchase specific, high-cost travel expenses, incurred during travel for official state business. Cards will be distributed only to frequent travelers based on the request of their Dean or Vice President. The cards will be issued with dual limits: an overall card cycle limit determined by the University and a single purchase limit (SPL) up to $5000. The University will set the individual cardholders' purchase limits based on the travel patterns of the employee. This travel card account is a direct liability of the State and is paid by the University.
- The State Liability Travel Card will be identified with the State of Louisiana Seal and marked Commercial Travel Card/Louisiana Travel Card. The cards will be embossed with the employee's name, department name, account number, and tax exempt number.
- Use of Card. The Travel Card may be used only for the purchase of a travel-related
expense for official university business provided that:
- The transaction does not exceed $5,000 (or the individual cardholder's single purchase limit).
- The transaction is an allowable transaction as defined in Section II.B.
- The transaction is not for incidental expenses as defined in Section II. A.11.
- The transaction does not fall within one of the excluded merchant groups/spending categories.
- State Liability Travel Card Cycle
- The State of Louisiana Travel Card closing period ends at midnight the 8th of each month.
- Statements are received approximately five business days after the 8th of each month. Cardholder reviews statement for appropriate charges, attaches documentation for each charge, signs statement and forwards statement to the appropriate supervisor (Department Head and/or Dean) or designated reviewer.
- The appropriate supervisor (or supervisors) reviews the statement and all supporting documentation, signs statement, and forwards statement to the Office of the Comptroller.
- Louisiana Tech University remits payment to the Bank of America within 25 days of statement billing date.
- Individual charge transactions are received electronically each month and downloaded into the University's Accounting system to allow charges to be posted to the appropriate account in the University's Financial Information System.
- Description of Travel Card
- Cardholder's Responsibilities
- The Individual Cardholders Shall:
- Use for official University travel only. No personal use is permitted.
- Attend training class and sign a State Liability Cardholder Agreement Form, acknowledging cardholder's responsibilities prior to receiving the card.
- Never put the full Travel Card account number in emails, fax, reports, memo, etc. If designation of an account is necessary, only the use of the last four or eight digits of the account is allowed.
- Recognize that the Travel Card is the property of the State of Louisiana and the cardholder is responsible for the physical security and control of the Travel Card and its appropriate use.

- Primary responsibility for the reconciliation and approval process rests with the individual cardholder.

- Has an appropriate business purpose
- Is in compliance with PPM 49 and/or any applicable purchasing rules and regulations
- Is in compliance with the University's and State's Liability Travel Card policies
- Has all required documentation supporting the transaction
- Is not a duplication of a travel expense account reimbursement request. The supervisor or reviewer must sign the statement and the Travel Card Log. The Cardholder shall not approve his own monthly Travel Card statement.
- Submit statement with supporting documentation to the Office of the Comptroller WITHIN FIVE DAYS OF RECEIPT OF MEMO STATEMENT.STATEMENTS NOT RECEIVED WITHIN 10 DAYS MAY RESULT IN CANCELLATION OF CARD.
- The Office of the Comptroller will review the statements and supporting documents on a monthly basis. If it is determined that personal or unauthorized charges are occurring on the card, appropriate steps shall be taken to resolve the misuse/abuse of the card. See Section D.
- The statements and supporting documentation will be retained by the Office of the Comptroller in accordance with record retention laws.
- The Office of the Comptroller will process a monthly entry into the Financial Information System recording the Travel Card transactions to the appropriate account.
- Card Misuse
Fraud Purchases
- A fraud purchase is any use of the Travel Card which is determined to be an intentional attempt to defraud the State or the University for personal gain or for the personal gain of others.
- An employee suspected of having misused the Travel Card with the intent to defraud the state will be subjected to an investigative review in accordance with University and University of Louisiana System (ULS) policies.
- A fraud purchase will result in the revocation of the employee's Travel Card.
- The Individual Cardholders Shall:
- Non-Approved Purchase
- A non-approved purchase is a purchase made by a cardholder for which payment by the University is unapproved or unallowable. A non-approved purchase differs from a fraud purchase in that it is a non-intentional misuse of the Travel Card with no intent to deceive the University for personal gain or for the personal gain of others.
- A non-approved purchase may be the result of an unintentional duplication of a travel expense account reimbursement request, use of the card for travel incidentals, approved purchases over the allowances (such as lodging or car rentals exceeding the allowable rate in PPM 49), or sales taxes charged on the card. A non-approved purchase could also occur when the cardholder mistakenly uses the Travel Card rather than a personal card.
- When a non-approved purchase occurs, the cardholder will be counseled to use more care in the handling of the Travel Card. The Office of the Comptroller will notify the employee and the appropriate supervisor in writing concerning the non-approved purchase and maintain a copy of the notification for one year. The employee must reimburse the University for any non-approved or non-allowable transaction. See Section II.E.
- If there is more than one incident of a non-approved purchase during a 12 month period, the Office of the Comptroller may revoke the employee's Travel Card.
- Repayment of Non-Approved Transactions
- If an employee incurs a non-approved transaction on the Travel Card, the Office of the Comptroller will deduct the non-approved transaction or allowance overage from the employee's travel expense account reimbursement where possible.
- If the travel expense account reimbursement has already been processed prior to the discovery of the non-approved transaction on the Travel Card, the Office of the Comptroller will contact the employee and appropriate supervisor in writing to request repayment by the employee of the non-approved purchase or overage. The employee should repay the non-approved amount within 15 working days of the notification. Failure to complete repayment within the specified time may result in the revocation of the employee's Travel Card.
- The cardholder should never make a payment directly to the bank. Any repayment of a non-approved expense should be made to the Office of the Comptroller.
- Sales Tax
- Charges are a direct liability of the State; therefore, Louisiana sales tax should not be charged on hotel and Enterprise in-state vehicle rental charges.
- Cardholders should make every effort at the time of purchase to avoid being charged Louisiana State sales tax. This may be accomplished by bringing the revenue letter regarding tax exemptions. Note that the tax exemption may not be used for charges such as room services, movies, double occupancy for additional non-state employees, or personal days of lodging.
- In the event state sales tax is charged and a credit is warranted, it will be the cardholder's responsibility to have the vendor-merchant (not Bank of America) issue a credit to the cardholder's account.
- It is State Policy not to pay Louisiana State sales tax; however the University has exempted cardholders from obtaining a credit from the vendor-merchant for state sales tax charges of $25 or less. If a cardholder continually allows taxes of $25 or less to be charged to the card, corrective measures will be taken.
- Lost or Stolen Cards
- Report any lost or stolen cards immediately to the Bank of America first and then the Office of the Comptroller. The card will be cancelled and a replacement card will be issued.
- To report lost or stolen cards: 1-888-449-2273
- Termination of Employment – As part of the termination process, an employee must notify the Office of the Comptroller that the employee is terminating and that the card should be cancelled. This notification will be included on the standard Employee Exit/Termination Form required by the Office of Human Resources. The Office of the Comptroller is responsible for notifying Bank of America that the account should be cancelled.
- Steps in Obtaining a Travel Card
- Applications may be picked up in the Office of the Comptroller or sent to the employee through campus mail.
- All applications for the Travel Card must be authorized by the appropriate Dean or Vice President.
- The completed application should be returned to the Office of the Comptroller.
- The application will be transmitted to the Bank of America by the Office of the Comptroller.
- The Travel Card will be sent directly to the Office of the Comptroller in approximately two weeks (if the card is sent directly to the employee, please inform the Office of the Comptroller immediately).
- The Cardholder will be required to participate in training, pick up the Travel Card, and sign a Cardholder's Agreement.

My keen interest in food led me to enroll and graduate from Le Cordon Bleu, Hollywood campus, in 2009. I honed my culinary skills in the kitchens of LCB and working with renowned food stylist and recipe tester, Rochelle Palermo. Working in a test kitchen has allowed me to explore the wide range of cooking: from working out of a truck for internet webisodes to cooking alongside celebrity chefs to filming a TV pilot. But the palate never rests, and my nose is eager to sniff out my next culinary adventure. Today, you can find me cooking at Nestle corporate headquarters in Glendale, Calif.

Food is one of my deepest passions in life. I picked up my cooking skills from my mama growing up.I played "sous chef" learning from my mom how to create delicious Mexican meals. Luckily, this keen interest and passion for food led me to spend more than 20 years helping major U.S. food and beverage companies connect to Latino families. I still love to cook and eat!

My sky+hd has stopped pausing and recording programs on Star Plus (784). If I try pausing a program I get a message saying that Live Pause is not available and when i try recording it says this program cannot be added to planner.
All other channels seem fine.
I only recently updated to sky HD from sky+ and never had this problem with the old box.
any advise on resolving this issue ?
Solved! Go to the solution
on 01-04-2011 08:46 PM
First thing to try is to switch off/on the Sky box at the mains.
If that doesn't resolve it, try a Planner Rebuild: http://www.sky.com/helpcentre/tv/sky-plus-hd/recor

I'll be going to WDW solo in Sept for Lou's Adventurers Club weekend. For those of you who have gone solo-what is your experience (if any)with regards to getting in a table service restaurant as a walk up? Or did you make priority seating?

I'll be going to WDW solo in Sept for Lou's Adventurers Club weekend. For those of you who have gone solo-what is your experience (if any)with regards to getting in a table service restaurant as a walk up? Or did you make priority seating?
The WDW Today podcast just did a whole episode on solo dining. Here is a link to the show and it is episode 547. Walt Disney World planning podcast - WDW Today
I was in the World in March because my dad had a conference there. While he had to be in class, I played in the parks, so I guess I was kind of a solo traveler for a little bit. I mostly ate at counter services and I had no problems. I missed my dad while I was at the parks, but I also enjoyed it because I did what I wanted to do and didn't have to worry about what other people wanted to do.
Solo touring is the way to go if you really want to take in all the details. As far as dining, I had ADR's for all my meals, but I think if you pick an odd time to eat, like mid afternoon or late night, you could walk up. I was the only diner in Trails End at 4:30 pm one day. Have a great trip!
I didn't travel by myself to WDW but did spend 2 days alone traveling around the parks. It was nice because I could stop and do what I wanted and not have anyone complane about it! The CM's pay extra attention to you it seems. I didn't dine by myself but I would go at odd meal times so that you have a better chance of getting a seat. Or just do counter service meals. Have fun!!
make ps's
I've done solo traveling a few times and have had very little problem with walking up to sit downs. I have walked into Le Cellier, Crystal Palace, and Liberty Tree Tavern with no problem. Of course it does depend on the day...
I would love to go to WDW alone...but my husband thinks he HAS to go too!:wink:
I travel so much for work on my own, that it is weird to make trips to the parks with friends or family. But when they go it makes it even more fun then I realized.
Most sit downs can get a solo in easily because they know we will not be there for very long. I mean, who are you going to have that after dinner conversation with that drags everything out? I have been in and out in under 40 minutes and never felt rushed. Also, like it was mentioned above, look at non-busy times.

Space Heater Safety Tips
The holidays are over and the temperatures are finally starting to drop here in New York. Tonight the low is going to be in the teens, and while I'm no stranger to cold weather, it doesn't mean I don't struggle every time winter really rolls around. Especially since my bedroom in my apartment doesn't actually have a heater. So, instead I'm in the market for a space heater.
But before I buy one, I wanted to do a little research on how to safely use a space heater in my apartment. Here are a few tips from the National Fire Protection Association:
- Keep your heater 3-feet from the wall and 3-feet from anything flammable
- Institute a kid-free zone around the space heater
- Plug it into the outlet directly, not into a surge protector
- Turn off the space heater before leaving the room or going to sleep
Do you have a space heater in your home? Real Simple did a road test on the best space heaters, but I'd love to hear your recommendations too.

Arthur Seymour John Tessimond
Biography of Arthur Seymour John Tessimond
Arthur Seymour John Tessimond (Birkenhead, July 19, 1902 - Chelsea, London May 13, 1962) was an English poet.
He went to Charterhouse School, but ran away at age 16. After studying at Liverpool University, he moved to London where he worked in bookshops, and also as a copywriter.
After avoiding military service in World War II, he later discovered he was unfit for service.
An eccentric and an Imagist, Tessimond wrote astute, elegant, urban poetry. He suffered from bipolar disorder, and received electro-convulsive therapy.
He first began to publish in the 1920s in literary magazines. He was to see three volumes of poetry were published during his life: Walls of Glass in 1934, Voices in a Giant City in 1947 and Selections in 1958. He contributed several poems to a 1952 edition of Bewick's Birds.
He died in 1962 from a brain haemorrhage.
In the mid-1970s he was the subject of a radio programme entitled Portrait of a Romantic. This, together with the publication of the posthumous selection Not Love Perhaps in 1972, increased interest in his work; and his poetry subsequently appeared in school books and anthologies.
A 1985 anthology of his work The Collected Poems of A. S. J. Tessimond, edited by Hubert Nicholson, contains previously unpublished works.
In 2010 a new collected poems, based closely on Nicholson's edition, was published by Bloodaxe Books.
In April 2010 an edition of Brian Patten's series Lost Voices on BBC Radio Four was committed solely to Tessimond.
Arthur Seymour John Tessimond's Works:
Walls of Glass (1934)
Voices in a Giant City (1947)
Selections (1958)
Not Love Perhaps (1972)
Collected Poems of A.S.J. Tessimond (2010)

Hi. I have this peace lilly which I normally water once a week or so. It's not in direct sunlight. Was out of town longer than expected (closer to 2 weeks) and when I got back the leaves were dropping significantly. I quickly gave it a good watering 2 days ago and some of the leaves have perked up a little). I watered and misted it (sprayed the leaves) yesterday. The soil is damp to the touch at the moment. If I get it hydrated enoough would these still green leaves that are bent over straighten back up? Or will they continue to droop like this? Thanks in advance for any suggestions. I've looked at other messages but none had pictures so thought posting this with a picture would be best. |

Just keep on watering it. it will come back up |
- Posted by purpleinopp 8b AL (My Page) on Wed, Mar 27, 13 at 10:02
Awww, so sorry, looks like it was really full and pretty. If it perked up a bit, there's still life there. Some of the leaves may be lost, probably too early to draw any conclusions. Just don't overwater it now, that would just add insult to injury. |
Just water as usual. If we are dehydrated we cannot drink too much too fast or it will cause us harm, the same goes for plants. Just keep testing the soil. Most of the plant should comeback in time. In the future if you go out of town for a bit you could buy a self watering globe from a dollar store or the like. Works great! Tuck |
I heartily concur with the above comments: 1) Man, that sucks about the damage. D': I've been there. My peace lily is an offset from a a plant older than I am by a year, and dates to the funeral of my great-grandmother. So it's intensely sentimental, but also just brings me joy to see it happy and fluffy. 2) Don't overcompensate with watering now! I've also been there. It won't help, and would quite likely hurt. Please heed Tuck's advice to water as you normally would. |

I can't begin to tell you how many times I've done that to mine and I didn't even leave town. Unless the stems are kinked, they will come back up. Do not overwater. tj |
