What is Medical Skin Needling?
Medical Skin Needling otherwise known as Collagen Induction Therapy is a natural and non invasive skin rejuvenation treatment that simultaneously treats a diverse range of skin conditions. This procedure uses a sterile roller with microscopic needles between 0.5mm (Clinical Roller) to 1.0mm-2.0mm (Medical Roller) long. This process creates hundreds of microscopic "pin pricks" to activate your body's natural healing process.
How does Medical Skin Needling work?
The body senses these tiny channels and responds by launching a natural healing cascade which results in a burst of collagen and elastin production as well as the release of powerful growth factors.
What can I expect from my Medical Skin Needling treatment?
This increase in natural collagen results in skin tightening, reduction of lines and wrinkles and remodelling of scar tissue. Results can be immediate, while others notice improvement gradually over a 6-12 week period. There is minimal downtime, consisting of 1-2 days of mild redness which can be covered with mineral make-up or a tinted moisturizer during that time if desired. A topical anaesthetic cream is used to numb the skin and minimize discomfort.

This is a repost from a few days ago from the bromeliad forum. No responses there so I'm hoping that someone here can answer this for me.
"Hi. I have a Billbergia brasiliensis that has several seed pods. They've been developing for about 4 months but aren't yet ripe. I've opened a couple pods over the past few weeks and the seeds are a light orange color and sticky. When allowed to dry they've just shriveled up. How can you tell when a pod is ripe? TIA" |
Follow-Up Postings:
Karyn, because I love you, I did some research and came up with this information - hope it helps: Billbergia produces seed berries. They remain the |
Here is a link that might be useful: Billbergia seed pod harvesting
Thank you so much for the info. I looked online and couldn't find anything. Now I just wish the damn things would ripen. The pods are still rock hard. Do you want any seed when they're ripe? I'll have loads of them. It's a beautiful brome when in bloom and the foliage isn't bad though I'm not the biggest brome fan. It doesn't get as messy looking as some of the others. |
Thanks, Karen, but I have one of these - it hasn't set in pods, though. Have you thought of/tried putting the seeds in a small paper bag (still on the plant)and put a cut apple in the bag with it? Ripening fruit releases ethylene gas, which hastens ripening fruits/seeds. |
The stem is long and the weight of the apple might break it. It's just sitting in the GH with everything else. I shouldn't be so impatient for the seeds to ripen anyway because I don't plan on starting any seeds or cuttings for several months. |
Karyn, get a plastic bag, such as a newspaper comes in. Drop the cut apple in the bottom, rest it on something to relieve the stress on the stem, put the seed-bearing limb in the bag and lightly tie it shut. |
If the pods haven't ripened by the end of Feb I'll give it a try. I won't be starting seeds until early spring. |
Let us know your success! |

Senate Bill to Aid Barney Frank's Efforts to Overturn UIGEA is Coming
Thu, Jul 23rd, 2009 @ 12:00am
John Pappas, executive director of the Poker Players Alliance (PPA), shared some interesting U.S. legislative developments during this week's National Poker Week in Washington D.C. He said that Senator Robert Menendez (D-NJ) is now preparing a Senate bill to regulate and license online poker and Internet Gambling, as a companion to Congressman Barney Frank's HR 2267. To date, no time frame to introduce the Senate bill has been announced.
The goal of Frank's bill (HR 2267), called the Internet Gambling Regulation, Consumer Protection, and Enforcement Act of 2009, to establish a licensing, regulatory, and taxation framework to allow licensed online poker and Internet gambling operators to accept bets and wagers from individuals in the United States. Such licensed operators would be exempt from the 2006 Unlawful Internet Gambling Enforcement Act (UIGEA).
Frank's HR 2267 bill added five new co-sponsors this past week: the latest being Rep. Linda Sanchez (D- CA) added her name as the forty-eighth co-sponsor of the Bill.
Barney Frank's bills were up for discussion after the 4th of July Congressional recess, but due to more pressing economic matters, the debate over online casinos, have been forced to delay the proposals until September.
Observers note that a Senate bill may help the passage of Frank's HR 2267, especially if it moves through the Senate faster. Should both bills pass the vote in their respective chambers before the winter break, the two bills would need to be reconciled, which would be a welcome process.
Opponents of Internet Gambling regulation, who seem uncertain how any voting on the issue might turn out, appear to be using a delay strategy to prevent voting from occurring.
Meantime, the UIGEA's outlawing the handling of online gambling payments continues to face judicial and political attack, in addition to legislative steps.
The Interactive Media Entertainment and Gaming Association (iMEGA) case challenging the constitutionality of the 2006 Unlawful Internet Gambling Enforcement Act (UIGEA) being heard by the Third Circuit Court of Appeals is under consideration, though no time frame for their ruling is known (click here).
European Union Officials have been pursuing discussions with the U.S. to find an appropriate solution to end the discrimination against EU operators. If the parties cannot settle the matter themselves, the Commission could bring a case against the U.S. to the WTO (click here).

We head back down and visit the famous Virgin of Covadonga, a shrine in a curiously mesmerizing chapel cut into a cave above a waterfall. Then we're supposed to steer toward the coast and lunch. But as we're approaching the turnoff, Andrés can't help himself. "If you love food and you're in Asturias," he says, "you must visit Cabrales and taste the cheese."
Soon we're in the village of Arenas de Cabrales, at a bar that feels like every other Spanish bar. The television is blasting, patrons are carelessly dropping paper napkins on the floor. But the wood is polished to a gleam, there's frosted glass in the windows, and instead of a soccer match or a soap opera, a cooking show is on. The best Cabrales cheeses, Andrés tells me, are blended from equal parts cow's, sheep's, and goat's milk, then aged six months in one of the caves that dot the Asturian landscape. A ración arrives, crumbly and veined with blue. It's a revelation, fruity and nutty, faintly spicy, and completely irresistible.
As a chef, Andrés's greatness is rooted in his painstaking technique, which allows him to harness and direct his soaring creativity. But as an eater he's all about the intense flavor of particular ingredients, especially when they conjure up emotional attachments. I've never seen him happier than when he's alone with a plate of pata negra ham in a Spanish bar; the shambolic smile that curves across his face reminds me of a five-year-old. Here in Arenas, his trancelike expression as he devours the Cabrales comes close.
After an exhilarating drive down from the hills, we hit Llanes, a town of tidy clapboard houses bisected by a canal. It reminds me of coastal Yorkshire with a touch of Copenhagen. Turned around, Andrés keeps stopping to ask directions. He's recognized each time, even by the pensioner with a cane and a loden overcoat who looks glum until Andrés lowers his window. "Hey, it's the chef," the man says, and grins hugely. When we pass an abandoned monastery on a marsh, Andrés remarks that his dream is to retrofit it as a hotel/restaurant. I'd scoff at that from anyone else, but Andrés opens restaurants the way some people open bank accounts. It's just the kind of ambitious and unexpected swerve his career might take.
The traditionally Asturian lunch that follows at La Huertona, a wood-paneled restaurant with a view of the Picos, is spectacular: a classic fabada, baby eels sizzling in garlic, and half a dozen other dishes that whiz past in a blur. Over three days in Asturias, we haven't had an hour without eating, drinking, or traveling at high speed. Every place has been compellingly beautiful, somewhere I'd willingly return to.
After lunch Andrés drives to a nearby seawall, stops the car, and steps out. That night, we'll end up in Avilés and tour the Centro Niemeyer. I head to bed, but Andrés will go out drinking cider until three, and then, racing to get to the airport in the morning, he'll slam the rental car against a post in a parking garage, waving down a taxi to make our flight to Madrid. For the moment, though, he's placid. He stands by the rocks and tracks the tide, letting the spirit of Asturias calm his soul. "Every place has its own rhythm," he says quietly. "I'd recognize those waves if I heard them anywhere in the world."

love this! it seems that my hair sucks at holding curls but with this curler my hair lasted all day and night! plus it heats up and cools down really fast, and gave my hair that amazing shine. definitely a must-have!
I'm pretty bad at doing my own hair, and I have never been able to master the clipped curler...but this curling wand is SO EASY. It heats up quickly and makes for consistently pretty curls. I used the glove at first, but then after the second or or third time using this, this self admitted klutz was confident enough that I could maneuver this without burning my skin. I cast the glove aside, and whirled away--- the swivel cord is a godsend! I would wind the hair around without fear of it getting caught into the clip, hold for a few seconds, and voila! a beautiful curl. I say I would buy it again, but I probably won't need to. I am highly recommending the wand, and this brand. I've been using it for 6 months now and it hasn't let me down once.
I LOVE this curling wand, then again let me qualify this review saying I got it lightly used off of ebay for $40 and the seller was kind enough to send a mini tub of hair mask with it.
When I first got this I had to be super careful because it didn't come with any sort of heat protection glove so I wouldn't burn myself. but when I slightly mastered the idea of a curling wand, my curls were impenetrable I went and worked out, showered, and THEN slept on them and they were still beautiful the next day. I don't need to use hairspray in order for them to stay, even though my hair is very unfriendly to the idea of curling.
The downside is though it heats up in a jiffy, it takes a while to cool down and only has one temperature setting. Although the curling wand part is pretty water proof, I was in a hurry one day and wanted it to cool down so stuck the wand into a snow drift...it worked and my wand is still fine.
I think I found my HG, I would recommend this wand to experienced curlers, just because it runs the risk burning yourself trying to do your own hair.

The San Francisco 49ers have signed the top kicker on the free agent. Former Cleveland Brown Phil Dawson tweeted Tuesday that he's headed for San Francisco.
"I am humbled & thrilled to have the opportunity to continue my career with my new team, the SF 49ers!" Dawson wrote on Twitter.
The 49ers released David Akers earlier this month.
In 2012, Dawson converted 29 of his 31 field goal attempts for a 93.5 percent conversion rate that ranked second in the NFL. Akers was second to last at 69 percent.
Last year, Dawson earned his first Pro Bowl spot after he was a perfect 13 for 13 on kicks over 40 yards. Akers was 9 for 19 on kicks over 40 yards. Dawson has made 14 of his last 15 tries from 50 yards or longer over the last two seasons.
Dawson has played all 14 years of his NFL career with Cleveland and only been to the postseason once. Dawson is 38 years old and 45 days younger than Akers.

DPA Convinces Metallicaâs Big Mick That Its Mics Can Rock
Big Mick, Front of House sound engineer for the US heavy metal band Metallica, is using DPAâs d:vote⢠4099 Instrument Microphones to capture the sound of drummer Lars Ulrichâs cymbals and toms.
âAfter 30 years with Metallica â and 15 years miking Larsâ drums with another brand of microphone â I was finally persuaded to test DPA microphones by Morten Uldbæk, who is the Danish distributor for Midas consoles,â Big Mick says. âI have to admit I had never considered DPA as the right kind of microphone for live rock music, but after giving them a try I was really impressed with their brightness and crispness.â
The final impetus to switch to DPA came from the studio engineers who were working on the soundtrack for Metallicaâs 3D film Through the Never, which will have its first public screening at the Christopher B. Smith Rafael Film Center in San Rafael, California on Tuesday, September 17th.
âThe recording guys were not happy with our old mics because they didnât deliver the audio they wanted across the full frequency range,â Big Mick says. âObviously for a surround sound, 3D movie it was important that the audio was perfect so I suggested the DPA d:vote 4099 Instrument Microphones and, after carrying out A/B testing, they were very happy for us to switch to them.â
Big Mick adds that as well as delivering brighter, crisper audio, the DPA d:vote 4099 microphones were much clearer in the higher frequency ranges. As a result he no longer needs to use an exciter across the cymbal and toms sub group on his Midas live sound console.
âTechnology does move on and Iâm always looking for better solutions,â Big Mick says. âNow that I have discovered DPA I am looking forward to trying out a few other models and already have my eye on the d:dicate⢠2011 recording microphones as Iâm told they are great for drums as well.â
About DPA
DPA Microphones is the leading Danish Professional Audio manufacturer of high quality condenser microphone solutions for professional applications. DPAâs ultimate goal is to provide you â whether youâre in live sound, recording, theater or broadcast â with the absolute finest possible microphone solutions for your tasks. DPA takes no shortcuts in the design processes nor makes any compromises in manufacturing, which is all done at the DPA factory in Denmark. As a result, DPAâs products are globally praised for their exceptional clarity and transparency, unparalleled specifications, supreme reliability, and above all, pure, uncolored and undistorted sound.

The Rihanna knit bodysuit is yet another fashion daring choice made by the sexy singer.
The 'Rude Boy' pop star rocked a sweater unitard with circular knit detailing and a side cut-out. The look was made a little more playful with knee-high white socks. We all remember the knit fashions of the last winter season, but could this be this fall's knit fashion theme? If so, I don't think the Rihanna knit bodysuit could be worn as well as Rihanna has.

Random Acts of Love

Ministering Message
Are you ever struggling in life and then turn on the radio and hear a song that ministers to you so perfectly? God is so good to use the Family Life Network. Recently it happened to me. I had been studying "Crazy Love" by Francis Chan, and had struggled with the idea of God's unconditional love. God is God. Creator of all things. Master of my life. How can I possibly love Him enough? It is a respecting love, as we acknowledge his authority. It is a sacrificial love, as we give up the worldly things we desire. It's a head-over-heels, cartwheel inspiring love too, as we realize how amazing he is! Driving down 390 one day, I heard Jason Gray's "Falling In Love" and it spoke to me.
"I need more than a truth to believe. I need a truth that lives, and breathes, to sweep me off my feet. It out to be more like falling in love, than something to believe in. More like losing my heart, than giving my allegiance. Caught up, called out. Come take a look at me now. It's like I'm falling. Oh, it's like I'm falling in love."
Sometimes I'm in awe of how perfectly a song fits an event in life, especially when it's a new song, and a recent event. It is proof that God's timing is perfect. Clint and Lindsay Owens are newlyweds, from our church family. They moved to Kentucky to start their new life together. Just as the wedding gifts were unpacked and their new home was painted and decorated to their liking, flood waters came, and destroyed all they had. Lindsay quickly posted the lyrics to Mikeschair's "Let the Waters Rise" to her facebook.
"There's a raging sea right in front of me. Wants to pull me in, bring me to my knees. So let the waters rise, if you want them to. I will follow you. I will swim in the deep, cuz You'll be next to me. You're in the eye of the storm and the calm of the sea. You're never out of reach."
When have the lyrics of a song spoken right to your heart? What were the circumstances? How did God use the ministry of music to pull you towards His comfort, or open your eyes to something He wanted you to learn? While contemporary Christian music is never a replacement for Biblical learning, it's a nice compliment. Thank you for choosing to listen to the Family Life Network. I can't wait to read your comment below!
Your Comments(please keep them on topic and polite)
I was in a bad marriage and God helped my get out and I moved here to Pa. Ayear and a half ago. When I was in Missouri God put a friend in my life. She was reintroducing to God. With her help I started praying and he lead me back to my family. Then when I got here God put another friend in my life, and he introduced me to Family Life. I was starting to feel like that I didn't have a lot of Faith in God. Then I heard the song "What Faith can do." The words Don't you give up now the sun will soon be shining, you gotta face the clouds to find the silver lining. then the chorus I've seen dreams that move the mountains hope that doesn't ever end even when the sky is falling. And I've seen miracles just happen Silent prayers get answered broken hearts become brand new that's what faith can do. That song touched my heart so much that I just cried. I thanked God for being there just when I needed him with me.I listen to your radio station every day and I thank God for people like you God bless all the people who work at Family Life
Loved Jason Grey's Falling in Love- He does whoo us when we let Him!

Heavenly Father I pray to you in thanks for shinning your light upon me and having faith in me. I thank you for all the loving and kindness you have bestowed upon me. I thank you the wonderful days you have brought me in my life. I thank you for my wife and my 3 sons. You have given me so much when I have deserved so little. I can not thank you enough for all that you have seen me through. You have shown me compassion when I have shown you anger. You have shown me love when I have shown you hate. You have always stood by me even though I had walked away from you. You never gave up on me though many times I gave upon you. You were always there when I needed you the most even though I never really learned how to say thank you. You never lost faith in me even though I sometimes lost faith in you. I'm glad that you have become so much a part of my life. I hope that I never stray away again and lose faith. If I ever do, I know that you will still be standing by me willing to forgive me and put your loving arms around me, for all I have to ask and to ask I shall seek thee. In the I have comfort and joy, without you I have sorrow. Thank you for being the loving person you are. In the name of THE FATHER, THE SON, AND THE HOLY SPIRIT I PRAY., AMEN |

Lord, I thank you being the silver lining when all I saw was a huge storm of gray clouds coming my way. I thank you for providing for me and my family. We have every thing we need and a lot of what we want. Now it is time to give you what you want and I just ask that you grant us strength as individuals and as a family to do your will and let you have your way with us. God I realize that I am in the boxing ring with the devil and I need to take a 9 count and come back swinging with your strength instead of staying up and being a ropa-dope. I know you never give us more than we can bear and just when it seems like our back is broke you take our load in one swoop as light as a feather. I thank you lord that no matter how heavy I think my cross is you show me none were as heavy as your son's. I pray for everyone who reads this and everyone who does not. Thank you, Amen |

I thank God for granting me my five and sometimes six senses to use not only physically but mentally also. I thank Him for making me aware and ashamed of my sins as soon s I commit them no matter how small they are. I thank God for all the things that in the course of the day I forget to say "Thank You" for. I pray that I will grow spiritually and shrink in sinfullness. |

Thank you, Lord, for sending much-needed rain to the dry earth in New England. Let us all be grateful for the rain that will fill our wells, and bring life to our gardens. Let us not complain that the rain will cause problems during the morning commute to work, but rather see the benefits of the rain. We can choose to see the benefits in any situation, if we accept a positive attitude, and see everything as a gift. |

dutifully waiting at the airport for Mia, receiving a few curious glances from
the few people that are at the airport at this ungodly hour of the day. To pass
the time I respond to a few emails when I am torn from my phone from a louder
than loud squeal from my over-enthusiastic sister flying across the airport
directly for me. How the fuck can she be so energetic after an 11-hour flight?
She flies
right into my arms, that I luckily managed to open, otherwise she would have
knocked us both on our asses.
I'm so happy to see you. God I've missed you so so much"
Maybe it
is my newfound softer side, but having her back makes me realize that I have
actually missed her quite a bit as well.
missed you too, sis"
She puts
her feet down and looks at me like I have grown horn or something. After
studying me for a bit longer than I find comfortable she smirks at me and I
know she is seeing right through me and before I manage to divert her attention
she starts on the tirade.
changed, Christian. Would that have anything to do with a certain brunette?"
"I'm not
talking about that, Mia."
"What is
she like? What is it about that has captured you?"
"I'm not
captured, Mia. Would you just drop it?"
"What the
"I knew
"You knew
what?" This is starting to piss me off, she is just smirking at me and it is a
little disconcerting to know that she is apparently seeing something that I am
not yet quite understanding myself.
"I just
knew it, you'd up and fall in love with the first girl that turns your head."
"I am NOT
in love. Now just drop it and let's get your bags."
you say, bro. I can totally tell."
"For fucks
sake, Mia. Just drop it."
thing, bro."
God, that
girl can be so annoying sometimes. If she was not my sister I would have given
her much worse than that. The most annoying part is that I have not figured our
what the fuck is going on here, but I know that I am NOT in love. I am not
capable of loving nor being loved.
I heave
all her bags out to the SUV and start the drive towards Bellevue and a whole
day spent with my family. I cannot remember the last time this has happened and
I intend to drive back to Escala for a few hours or more, just to get some
distance before the big welcome home family dinner tonight. Apparently Elena is
coming to the dinner and I need to prepare myself for that. I am not in the
mood to deal with her today and of course my mother has unknowingly of our
situation told Elena all about Ana and I. So Elena has been trying to contact
me for the past few days.
I also need
to prepare for Ana's visit tomorrow. Even though she technically have not
signed the contract yet, she has agreed to be my sub and therefore I am
planning on taking her to the playroom. I just need to figure out how to do the
scene with her. It has to be very light, firstly so I do not scare her to
death, so she never wants to come back, but I do not want to send her into
subspace, that will probably cause more damage than good. So I will not inflict
pain, it will be more about the pleasure and I will have to ease her into the
pain over a long while. I am not making the same mistake I made the other day
and spanking her too hard.
In my
early days as a Dom, being taught by how Elena acted, I did not do any
aftercare after a scene, I usually left the sub to herself. But after having a
long talk with the woman who runs the service that has provided me with subs
for a long time and a talk with one of my former subs, I realized how important
it is to do the aftercare and make sure the sub does not drop too much after a
scene. After the drop Anastasia did the other day, I felt like I failed as a
Dom, I should have predicted it. But because of my own emotions, I left her
when she told me she was okay. Of course she was not okay.
"You look
totally lost in thought, Christian. Are you okay?"
Mia pulls
me out of my thoughts and I realize that I totally forgot she was with me.
Mia. I just have a lot on my mind."
"Would it
be about your girl?" My girl, god that sounds good.
"No, it's
about business."
"So how
was France?"
"You will
not believe the things I've seen and done, it was just amazing and there was
this girl that I started talking to……"
She blabbers all the way to Bellevue and when I pull up in front of the house, she leaps out into to our mothers arms almost before I stop the car. A few minutes of silence is fantastic. I have a ringing in my ear from all the talk she has been doing.

jumped out of.
just trying to stop the ringing in my ear from Mia's squealing and talking." My
mom starts laughing heartily and I wish I could make her do that more often.
"Yes, she
does seem rather enthusiastic."
that an understatement?"
along, son." My father yells from the stairs and I am pretty sure that he is
already tired of hearing Mia talking since she has not stopped talking at all
and he needs someone to suffer with him.
After a
few hours at Bellevue I excuse myself to go back to Escala to get some work
done and get ready for tonight. That way Mia can get settled at my mom and
dad's and I can get some quiet, perfect solution.
I wander
around my apartment when I get home, unable to find some calm and just sit
down. Tomorrow Anastasia is coming here and even though she has been here
before, this time it is different. This time she is mine and she is going to be
coming here often, if I have anything to say about it and the Dom that I am,
feels certain that I will get my way.
I walk to
my playroom, open the door and look at all my toys and equipment. I remember
the way Anastasia reacted when I brought her in here. I have become quite adept
in reading people and when I saw the arousal in her eyes I almost leapt at her,
right here. Who would have thought she was actually a virgin, FUCK that still
pisses me off.
thought of Anastasia here gives me an instant hard-on and now I need something
to occupy me so I do not end up at my parents with a chronic hard-on from the
mental images of Anastasia.
But I still need to plan the scene for tomorrow. I cannot leave anything to chance about this. I need her to enjoy so much, that she wants to do it again, preferably very soon.

You've Got Potential
While being smart about saving and spending is essential for bootstrappers, generating sales is even more so. "You can go through [money] quickly just trying to get your brand out there," Gianforte says. "Make sure you're spending advertising dollars that will get you immediate sales instead of [just] brand recognition."
James says pounding the pavement for sales should be job one of any startup. "Too many businesses spend before they've figured out how to monetize the product," she says. "I've tried to hire sales consultants--they want to spend thousands to set up a sales force. That's the opposite of what I do. I make a sale, then figure out how I'm going to deliver it."
Gianforte says bootstrappers should devote their limited resources to finding tactics that work and building strategies around them. He compares business to war, saying there are two jobs in war: making bullets and shooting bullets. In business, making bullets means building the product, and shooting bullets means selling it.
It's harder to bootstrap when you have to spend on inventory. The Kendalls, whose company will top $1 million in sales this year, order their runs conservatively and operate from home. Until now, most of their business has come through the website. But the retailers who have been contacting them about carrying their products have made them realize the market potential. They recently opted to work with a showroom, which sells to upscale clothing boutiques like Fred Segal. This, says Maureen, 33, will help them catapult their retail business without taking on the expense of full-time employees. "Until now, it's just been boutiques calling us," she says. "We've been talking to this company for over a year now, and they love the idea. The fact that they're excited about our product is really going to help them sell it." The Kendalls also plan to open up a brick-and-mortar store featuring their clothing lines by the end of 2008.
Cultivating your best customers and serving them well so they become repeat customers and referral sources is also an essential step that leads up to the million-dollar mark. Gianforte says you need to understand why your customers are willing to give you money over your competitors. Be clear about your advantage and work to protect and improve it, he says. That includes finding better ways to qualify your efforts so you're spending limited amounts of time with prospects who don't pan out.
In his experience, Gianforte says customers who request brochures are often not immediate sales prospects. When he founded his company, he deduced that requesting brochures was a polite way of saying, "I don't want to talk to you now." So he ditched the print materials in favor of offering a live demo of his software product. Sure, he lost more of the prospects who called in, but he ended up yielding a higher percentage of sales because the people who were willing to agree to the demo were people who were willing to buy.
While their businesses and strategies are very different, successful bootstrappers have one thing in common: a deep-rooted belief that no matter how big the challenge is, there's always a way to overcome it.
"I know so many people who stop themselves from succeeding in their companies because they don't believe they can do it, or they can't admit they need to do something differently," says Vechey. "They just give up. If you're really committed, you can always find a way."

Make Your Cash Count
While bootstrappers typically look for ways to save money on everything from office space to consulting services, there are some things that are worth the splurge. When you're getting ready to launch, don't skimp on these.
- Legal services: Ryan Allis, author of Zero to One Million: How to Build a Company to One Million Dollars in Sales, says it's usually not a good idea to pinch pennies when it comes to legal counsel. The legal advice you get early on, including the form of organization for your business, is critically important and hard to undo. "Make sure that [however much] money you have, you spend it well [on legal counsel]," he says.
- Good people: Greg Gianforte, author of Bootstrapping Your Business: Start and Grow a Successful Company With Almost No Money, advises you spend money on hiring good people and creating strong partnerships. "If you add one bad apple to [a company of] four people, it can ruin your company," he says. In addition, Gianforte advises spending time and money on your partner prenup, including what happens if one of you wants to walk away.
- Design: From your letterhead to your website, Allis says that investing in good design services is another smart way to spend some dough. Using a clip-art logo or a clunky website designed by your best friend's cousin can scream amateur. Make sure that from the start your business looks as successful as you want it to be.
Of course, that's not to say you should break the bank on these essential elements. Allis and Gianforte both advise using your contacts and negotiating power to get good deals. But when it comes to the legalities, people and look of your business, be sure to choose quality over price.

Breakfast Topic: The curious phenomenon of "reverse burnout" {WoW}
May 10th 2011 10:12AM I raided all in Wrath except for when Ulduar was current (which really saddens me now). I am not a big pvp'er in WoW (I love StarCraft though). I have done just about everything you can do alone or in a 5 man group. I am sitting on just about 9500 achievement points. I have recently started a new job, which required me to be in a hotel for about a month.
I think this time of no WoW cold turkey made me really realize that there is not much for me to do right now. I have played for almost 4 years straight, but I think I am going to cancel my sub for at least a while. My guild raids way too late for me, and my WoW buddy has pretty much stopped playing (we would do silly things like old dungeons and such).
It's not that I hate WoW or 'OMG Game X is soo much better', it's just I am bored. I log in, realize well, there are no quests for me to do, I have basically every archy item, I have almost every non-Raid non-PVP achievement, I don't want to PVP, there are never any PUG raids, no one is on in the guild, and all my friends are offline. I then *shrug*, and log out.

First Drive: 2012 Mercedes-Benz SLK-Class {Autoblog Archive}
Mar 15th 2011 2:51PM Slightly a tangent rant, but why call it the SLK250? I don't follow MB/BMW much, but I know at one point in time it was MODEL-ENGINE SIZE. What is wrong with SLK180? If you know that the number means the engine size(well at least sometimes does), then you are going to look up what the engine size is. It just doesn't make sense to me. At least the SLK350 is a 3.5 liter. BMW just seems to make up numbers now (128 = 3.0, 135 = 3.0).
Anyways, can someone clue me into to why they might be doing this (or is it just as simple as bigger number must mean a better car)?

My name is Hope!
Facts about Hope
- Breed: Pit Bull Terrier Mix
- Color: Tan/Yellow/Fawn
- Age: Young
- Size: Large 61-100 lbs (28-45 kg)
- Sex: Female
Hope's Info...
I am already spayed, housetrained, up to date with shots, good with kids, good with dogs, and good with cats.
We just took in another dog in terrible shape. We call her Hope. She is a Pittie found at the dump in Scottsbluff. She was a bait dog in a dog fighting ring. They chopped off her ears, ground her teeth down to nubs, (so she could not fight off the dogs attacking her) and she has dog bite wounds all over her body. On top of all that, she was horribly emaciated...starving. We are in absolute love with her. She is being fostered in Scottsbluff. She is a sweetheart, but she is sad. You will see in the second picture how defeated she feels. Tortured and then dumped like trash. Hope is around 2 yrs old. She does great with other dogs, just is uncomfortable with little, yippy dogs. She is in a home that is teaching her about the finer things in life...she has a huge backyard, dogs to play with, she gets daily walks, and most importantly she is being loved for the first time in her life. She will be ready for adoption in a couple weeks. We want to get some weight on her and have her spayed when she is healthy enough. Look at her face and you will be under her spell, too...be forewarned!

Why Adoption is a Great Option
Hope, a Alliance Pit Bull Terrier dog was adopted! Here's how you can benefit by looking at adoption as an option to buying a Pit Bull Terrier for sale in Alliance, or seeking a Pit Bull Terrier dog from a breeder in Alliance.
- Rescues and shelter volunteers in Alliance already know the personality and tendencies of their pets. This means they can match you with the right pet. That will makes it much easier transition to owning a pet for yourself and your new pet.
- On average adoption fees are much less than you'd pay a Alliance breeder, or pet store. Plus most often rescue pets have already been to the veterinarian for a check-up, had a round of vaccinations, and are spayed or neutered. That is a lot of savings!
- You will become a hero, and give a needy dog or cat a loving home. In fact, there are even Pit Bull Terrier breeders who help with Pit Bull Terrier rescue. One puppy or kitten adopted in Alliance paves the way for another one to be saved.

Lance's Info...
I am already neutered, up to date with shots, and good with cats.
Hi I'm Lance!
Just as sweet and just as cute as my two siblings -- and perhaps even more cuddly! I'm three months old and eager to please, whether that means being held, playing, or posing to have my picture taken! I get along well with all of the other cats, and of course the volunteers, so whether you have an active or quiet household, I would fit right in. Maybe you could be the family I grow up and grow old with!
