Steve is constantly researching the web and any other sources he can find find get new ideas for the coolest pregnancy photos on the planet. One of the things that makes pregnancy photos fun for Steve is trying out new interesting ideas. He tries every session to create pregnancy photos that he has never done before.
best maternity photographers in Utah http://barrusphoto.com/maternity-photographers/
One of Barrus Photography's main goals in creating pregnancy photos is to find out each mother's unique style. Some mothers are very traditional and others like to be pretty wild and crazy. Barrus Photography tries very hard to customizes their pregnancy photos to each expecting mom's personality and style.

You can give Steve or Jenny a pose list for your pregnancy photos but you don't have too. They have done so many pregnancy photos poses that the important poses are chiseled into their brains. Seriously they could get incredibly pregnancy photos images in their sleep.

Steve's favorite lens for pregnancy photos is his cannon 70-200mm lens. This is a great pregnancy photos lens because he can quickly go from a full length shot to a close up head shot. It's also a great lens for pregnancy photos because with the 200mm focal length he can get those beautiful, background out of focus, pictures. This effect gives his pregnancy photos almost a three dimensional look. This is a look that the normal eye cannot see. Steve likes to present to the viewer a view of the world that he or she is not ever seen before. Another way to create this look in pregnancy photos is by using the lowest possible aperture the lens has to offer. Steve's second favorite lens for pregnancy photos is his 35mm wide angle lens. He likes this lens for pregnancy photos for the same reason he likes the 200mm lens. It also gives the viewer a look at the world in a way that the normal eye cannot see. The 35mm lens of course gives steve's pregnancy photos a wide look. This is a very fun perspective especially when shooting from a high angel. Steve loves to shoot pregnancy photos from very high and very low angles. Pregnancy photos shots taken from ground level are very fun and exciting. It especially makes men look strong and powerful. Pregnancy photos shots taken from a very high angel are also extremely interesting. Steve has a ladder in the studio he love to use for taking shots from a very high angle.
The best maternity portrait ideas
Micro pregnancy photos is also one of steve's funnest types of pregnancy photos. Micro photography means close up photography. In micro pregnancy pictures we get to see the most minute little details. These extreme close up pregnancy photos shots also give the viewer a very fun and different look at the word. Steve really loves extreme close up photography.

Post production work on pregnancy photos is what steve likes to call the second creation. Taking the pregnancy photos is the first creation. The most important and first step in post-production is color correction. Steve shoots raw pregnancy photos images not jpgs because a raw file is almost like a negative. It allows you to adjust the exposure and color balance post-production. After the photographs are properly color corrected then the fun begins. With photoshop there is a endless amount of manipulation that can be done on pregnancy photos images. One of the most popular manipulations done on pregnancy photos images is make me skinnier. Almost everyone wants to be a bit skinnier. Get rid of my double chin is also very popular. The most common retouching that is done on pregnancy photos images is blemishes removal and shine reduction. Pregnancy photos fly away hairs can also be taken care of quite easily. Sometimes we fix clothing. For example when someone does not wear the right color shirt we can change the color of the shirt to match with the rest of the people in the photograph. Retouch is only done at Barrus photography studio in Utah when we make the pregnancy photos prints. When you own your own images and make your own prints there will be no retouching done on the images. That is why we recommend that even if you own your images you should have the most important pregnancy photos images printed by Barrus photography
Action pregnancy photos shots are also really fun to take and very exciting to see. Steve uses a very fast shutter speed to stop the action in his pregnancy pictures. The emotion that can be captured in action photography is killer cool. Little snap shots of life can be captured in pregnancy photos with action shots. Laughing, jumping, running and walking are all action ideas that steve tries to capture with every shoot.
Steve moves very quickly when taking pregnancy photos. He has so much experience that he doesn't have to take a lot of time figuring out how to take each photograph. He doesn't take ten shots of the same picture. He takes lots of different pictures. If he does take more than one shot at any particular location it will be at a little different angle or possibly a closer shot to give the shot a different look. With steve you will get lots of unique amazing shots. You might feel like that was fast. Yes it was fast, but the pictures will be incredible. Steve's speed is especially important when things get running late. Which they do a lot. He can still get the important shots in a short amount of time if necessary.

As the tremoloa is not in production anymore, the best option to buy a tremoloa is online or at your local antique store (surprisingly may have one hidden in its depths). Personally, I've bought all three of my tremoloas on eBay; simply search "tremoloa".
That said, I would be careful of both the pricing and what they offer. First, be suspicious of any tremoloa over $100; even though I see them as worth a lot, you can easily find one for $10-$50 in good state (even with original documents and, if you're lucky, an original case). Second, check it for missing parts or cracks. If it's missing strings, tuning pins, or nails, then it's a quick fix. However, if the bridges, arm, arm rests, or arm guard are missing do not buy it. At this point, the tremoloa is useless unless you want to buy a second to retrieve an arm. (Note: I saw one listed at ~$150 for months, missing almost every essential part, notably the arm.) On the other hand, if there's a crack, I'd look at the pictures closely; sometimes the cracks are small, thus not a problem (tremoloas are sturdy, just tune it properly).

Licensing errors
You received network licensing errors when using your Autodesk product, and you want to diagnose the issue.
When a network licensing error occurs, you may see a dialog box that provides a description of the error and a numeric error code. For example:
The following is a list of the four most common network licensing errors with the most common methods for resolving them:
-5 No such feature exists.
This error indicates that the Autodesk Network License Manager was contacted by the application successfully, but that it does not contain an "Increment" for this product. Review the license file and the setup of LMTOOLS on your server.
-15 Cannot connect to license server system. The server (lmgrd) has not been started yet, or the wrong port@host or license file is being used, or the TCP/IP port or host name in the license file has been changed.
This error most commonly occurs if a firewall on the client or server will not allow the product to communicate with the License Manager. Turn off any firewalls to test whether this is the case.
-18 License server system does not support this feature.
This error most commonly occurs if you have more than one increment in the license file on the server. License files can have only one increment per product. This error can also occur if you are using a "series" or "suite" product that is attempting to cascade to a different increment. You should ensure that you have a current PLIST increment and that you also have the "series" or "suite" increment for your product in the license file on the server.
-96 License server machine is down or not responding. See the system administrator about starting the server, or make sure that you're referring to the right host (see LM_LICENSE_FILE environment variable).
This error most commonly occurs if the Autodesk Network License Manager is no longer running on the server. Check LMTOOLS on the server to verify that this service is starting correctly.
For a complete description of all error codes, refer to the FLEXlm® documentation (in HTML format), which is included with the installation of the Autodesk Network License Manager. By default, the FLEXlm documentation is located at C:\Program Files\Autodesk Network License Manager\Docs\FlexUser
If the Autodesk product does not display an error code, or you want a more descriptive response, follow the instructions in the following article to increase the amount of information returned when a network licensing error occurs:

WEDNESDAY, SEPTEMBER 12 K+S Word A special pre-festival event
THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 13 Argentina Futbol Club Go into the heart of the original SuperClasico rivalry between Buenos Aires giants Boca Juniors and River Plate
Get more info → | BUY TICKETS → |
FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 14 Gringos at the Gate Why US vs. Mexico has become the most fiery and socially significant clash in international soccer
K+S Portland 2012, presented by KICKTV, is the festival's first event in the Pacific Northwest. It takes place Wednesday, September 12, through Friday, September 14. It will be three days of soccer films and events in the build-up to the highly anticipated rivalry match between the Portland Timbers and Seattle Sounders on Saturday, September 15.
Fittingly, the festival plays on the theme of rivalries with a lineup of films about some of the world's most intense clashes.
"We're thrilled to make our Portland debut this year, especially around such an intense experience as a Portland-Seattle match," says K+S founder and director Greg Lalas. "The passion for the game in the Pacific Northwest is unparalleled in the United States and makes a festival there a no-brainer. We hope that with the support of the Portland Timbers, we can make it an annual event."
Argentina Futbol Club goes into the heart of the fiery battle between Boca Juniors and River Plate, while Gringos at the Gate, which made its world premiere at K+S New York 2012 in June, explores the passion of the USA-Mexico rivalry.
We'll have all kinds of other events, including celebrity guests, panel discussions, the Howler Magazine trivia contest to win great Portland Timbers swag, and beer courtesy of Widmer Brothers.
All film K+S events will take place at Urban Studios at 935 NW Davis St. in the Pearl District (MAP).
Read this: "K+S Word"
Before the film nights, though, there's a special pre-festival event. K+S is pleased to partner with local soccer podcast 5 Minutes to Kick Off to present an evening of literary readings: K+S Word.
National and local writers and journalists, including Portland film critic Shawn Levy and NBCSports.com columnist Noah Davis, will read original pieces expressing the passion and beauty of great rivalries.
2012 Social Initiative: Coaches Across Continents
K+S's chosen charitable partner for 2012 is the international soccer nonprofit Coaches Across Continents, which uses football to improve the health and well-being of disadvantaged children in developing countries.

May 24 to June 6, 2013
Leaders: Ken Rodgers & Dallas Stutzman
Hesston alumni and friends are invited to join Hesston College representatives on this lovely Alpine tour through Europe. As the group travels, leadership for this tour will be provided by Ken Rodgers, professor of Music at Hesston, and Dallas Stutzman, director of Alumni and Church Relations.
- Friday and Saturday, May 24 and 25
- We will meet in Chicago, where we will depart on an overnight flight to Barcelona. After arriving in Barcelona at the El Prat de Llobregat Airport, we will begin our exploration of this city at the spectacular Art Nouveau-style cathedral of La Sagrada Familia, designed by architect Antoni Gaudi, started in 1882 and still unfinished. Our evening will end early by Spanish standards so that we can enjoy a good night's sleep and get over any jet lag.
- Sunday, May 26
- This morning we will attend Mass at one of Barcelona's many cathedrals. Then we will tour the beautiful tree-lined La Rambla section of the city from which Christopher Columbus set off on his exploration of the New World.
- Monday, May 27
- This will be our last full day in Spain's second largest city. We will visit the open-air market, the Citadel and an art museum. You will also have some free time to explore this colorful city on your own, to send postcards home or to enjoy a short siesta
- Tuesday, May 28
- Today, as we leave Spain, we will travel to Carcassonne, a beautiful, walled city in France which is a UNESCO World Heritage site. We then travel to the well-preserved medieval papal city of Avignon, where we will spend two nights.
- Wednesday, May 29
- After a morning visit to the Papal Palace at Avignon – seat of the Popes in the 14th century – we will drive to the Pont du Gard, the highest Roman bridge aqueduct in Europe which has three levels. We will also stroll through the quaint town of Saint-Rémy-de-Provence, where we will visit the hospital where Vincent van Gogh spent the last year of his life.
- Thursday, May 30
- Have your camera at the ready today as we head into Switzerland, passing through beautiful vistas of the Alps. Our destination is the village of Wengen, where we will spend two nights.
- Friday, May 31
- All day today will be spent in the beautiful Berner Oberland, at the foot of the Jungfrau Mountain, which is the highest peak in Europe. This will be a wonderful opportunity to hike, take a train to the top of the Jungfrau, or simply relax in this beautiful Alpine village.
- Saturday, June 1
- Today we bid farewell to Wengen and head into Zürich to see where the Anabaptist movement began. We will trace the paths of Conrad Grebel, Felix Manz, and Georg Blaurock before settling for the night in Singen, Germany.

- This morning we set out for Salzburg, Austria. Made wealthy by salt mining, the city was an important center of religious power as the seat of the Archbishop of Salzburg, one of the most powerful church leaders in Europe. Today it is more famous as the birthplace of Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart, and the setting for The Sound of Music.
- Monday, June 3
- We will spend today exploring Salzburg. You will have the opportunity to visit the impressive Hohensalzburg, the castle fortress overlooking the city, as well as spend time at the Mozart birthplace museum. Salzburg has a lively music scene – there may be the option to attend a concert during one of our evenings in Salzburg.
- Tuesday, June 4
- Today we will head into the German state of Bavaria. Watch for the different types of maypoles which tell the industry and cultural activities that take place in the town or city. We will spend two nights in beautiful Wasserburg on the Inn.

Much publicity is being given to the drawdown of U.S. troops in Afghanistan. As to the strength of commitment to and the true nature of the drawdown, we shall have to wait to see what U.S. plan will emerge in the wake of the recent U.S. presidential elections.
Yet we ought to remember that there are other nations that have also committed troops to Afghanistan out of strategic interests of their own. Take Germany, for instance, the third-largest contributor of troops to the Afghanistan war.

Morgan Larson at the helm of Oman Air on day 1 © Lloyd Images
EXTREME SAILING SERIES – American Morgan Larson, new skipper of Oman Air, had an incredible start to his Extreme Sailing Series career on the opening day of Act 1 in Muscat, Oman. The forty-year-old, a passionate surfer, who lives in Oregon, USA, has an outstanding sporting CV including 3 America's Cup campaigns and 6 World Championship titles but few pundits would have predicted the outcome today which resulted in Oman Air sharing the top of the leaderboard after 6 races alongside pre-season favourites Groupe Edmond de Rothschild: "I didn't really know what to expect to be honest. I know there are a lot of talented teams but I think the format of the sailing suits my style." Modest on the day but when pushed there is an underlying confidence: "I believe we can win this, but we need podium positions at every event."
Tomorrow the 8-boat Extreme 40 fleet will race in stadium mode inside the breakwater, surrounded by the outstanding residential development known as The Wave and home to Oman Sail. Watch the racing live online from 1130 GMT for the next 3 days.
The question everyone is asking here – who will win this season? The French team skippered by Pierre Pennec is renowned for their form and have been overall runners-up for the past two years. "We won the event last year and it's always good to 'mark' your territory so to be competitive 100% on day one is good," said trimmer Hervé Cunningham. On paper, this is the team to watch. Available online tomorrow, Daily Sail editor, James Boyd's, 2012 form guide. MORE STORY

VOLVO OCEAN RACE – Groupama sailing team continue to hold the lead and the furthest east position and at 0800 UTC this morning were charging along at an average of 18 knots — a speed only topped by PUMA Ocean racing powered by BERG and Abu Dhabi Ocean Racing. On the western flange of the fleet second placed the CAMPER with Emirates Team New Zealand crew were working flat out to claw back miles on the leaders. CAMPER Media Crew Member (MCM) Hamish Hooper described the scenario in his latest report from the boat. "At the moment it's a slight waiting game until all of the fleet are nose down and pointing at New Zealand when the 2000-mile drag race starts to the Doldrums and a chain of Pacific Islands to penetrate before the last push to paradise. "It's still full throttle down charging along getting every ounce of speed out of CAMPER to claw back some ground mile by mile. "Groupama have had a tough few skeds being caught further out to the east in lighter wind, which we know all too well about the pain of after recent days," Hooper wrote. "However, we are short of sympathy for our French counterparts. "Thanks to that we have managed to take a couple of chunks out of their lead, which gave everyone a momentary additional spring in their step. "They are now back up to full speed again, in fact in the latest sked we had the least amount of wind. "It sure is swings in roundabouts. But we push on hard," Hooper concluded.
MOVING PICTURES – Not what you want to hear while offshore. The sound of carbon fibre cracking is enough to fill any Volvo Ocean Race sailor with alarm, which is why the Abu Dhabi Ocean Racing team were scrambling on deck last night.

OLYMPIC CLASSES – Tornado President Roland Gaebler was interviewed by Martin from Cat Sailing News here are some of the questions and answers.
CSN: Have you sailed an F16? If so , how was it?
RG: Yes we did. I had the feeling I was back on a much smaller boat, personally it was just too small for us. We felt we were always about to front loop in the big waves. Maybe we sailed on the wrong boat but this was our impression. It will be great to see how the boats perform against each other in Santander at the evaluations.
CSN: The F18 is the most competitive and popular performance cat class, how do you see its future?
RG: Great racing everywhere. Okay, it has an old fashion Aluminum mast and is heavier than a Tornado but the big fleets around the world show the class is on the right track and the dealers are also pushing the class to the top. I think the F18 and A cat will be the biggest fleets in the future.
CSN:How do you see the future of cat racing and the AC ?
RG: The AC are at the top and hopefully a real flyer will come for the Olympics which will also promote our sport in the best possible way between all the other great classes. The multihull market will increase also in the leisure racing and sailing. It's a win win situation for all of us. More boats. More jobs. More fun. The AC is the new undisputed F1 of the Multihull world and we are excited to see where they will lead our sport in the future. They really have been a media success and we have many lessons to learn from them, maybe we will see a trickle down effect into Olympic multihull sailing as they prove new technical concepts and media promotion. It is also great for us as a class to see so many previous Tornado sailors taking part in the campaigns.
CSN: If the T is not selected, which is your next option?
RG: For me the new Nacra 17 looks good, compliments to Nacra for coming up with such a boat at the right moment. So far this is my second favourite after Tornado but my only concern is that there has not yet been much testing on the water, let's wait and see!
CSN: You will compete if an F16 is selected?
RG: No, personally this boat is far too small for us. We also believe that more than 50% of the actual mixed teams will also not sail F16 because they weight more than 140kg. It is really an excellent boat for the national and club youth programs, ISAF Youth Worlds and Youth Olympics. But I believe not for fully grown muscular female and male athletes. The Olympics should be a real sporting challenge for Olympic Athletes. I believe that 16 foot Cats are for the Youth, 18 foot is great for the leisure racing and 20 foot for the Olympics. This system has worked in harmony for the last few decades. This is the perfect configuration in cat sailing so why destroy this?
CSN: You are in a weight minimum campaign, tell us in your opinion how this affect to performance on smaller cats
RG: It's very simple. If you are too heavy, you have no chance between 3 and 12 knots of Wind in a small cat. The "ultralights" will win the races and the Olympic Medals. If we looked to the majority of Olympic Classes for 2016 (470, skiff, windsurfing) we already have mostly boats for light sailors. We do not need another one.
CSN: I agree with you that pushing for a low min weight is not that healthy, and I think even the F16 can stand a wider range, so I don´t get why the 140kg limit- you've made a report on this, which were the results?
RG: We are unsure the reasoning behind the ISAF evaluation team making the 120-140kg target. A man above 80kg can only sail a Finn or stop his Olympic Dream. Same way the average weight of a Man/Olympic Male Athlete is 81kg. If you look to the light wind scenario in Rio de Janeiro, we may end up with teams up to 110kg if we use a smaller boat with less sail area. Nahid, my wife asked many mixed teams in F18, F20, Tornado and other classes about their weights and more than 70% are over the 140kg. We should have a higher minimum weight to represent real world athletes.
CSN:Final thoughts on the Trials and outcomings
RG: We can't wait! We feel that it is bad that the new Hi Tech F18s have stopped their campaigns, we are unsure why, maybe you know more Martin? We would have loved to see more boats there! As the only class association lead boat at the trials, we feel that we are strongly positioned to offer great value as we don't have a profit motive. Just a motive to offer spectacular 'Olympic ring' winning races for the public, media and IOC. It is nice to see that the AC45s are upgrading their wings with more sail area to deliver more
performance in light winds for media, spectators and sponsors. The forecast for Rio de Janeiro and the summer Olympics is mostly light winds. We are surprised the bigger boats didn't come along to the trials. We believe that a new boat will change nothing. We must change the racing system. To get more nations we need supplied boats for ISAF World Cup Events, World- and Continental Champs and Olympics. That's why the Laser is so successful. This system can also work for Olympic Multihull Sailing. To get the media, spectators and sponsors we need a real flyer, let Multihull win the media award again!
The decision is now with the MNAs and evaluation teams to decide what they want. Already the MNAs have lost the Star and the Elliots. Maybe they need new surfboards too. Imagine how much money they have lost in this period. Now they must decide if they want the same scenario in
Multihull with a new class or take the proven boats and quality we have. Many nations still have
Tornado's sitting and waiting, they would have no expense.
GLOBAL OCEAN RACE – After 28 days at sea, the leading Global Ocean Race (GOR) Class40 is closing in on the Leg 3 finish line in Punta del Este, Uruguay, following a week when tough decisions were made in the final approach to Cape Horn. Having taken the lead in the GOR, the period at the front of the fleet was short but very sweet for Marco Nannini and Hugo Ramon on Class40 Financial Crisis and by the start of Week 4 (20-26 February) of Leg 3, Conrad Colman and Adrian Kuttel were back in the lead on Cessna Citation with 450 miles remaining to the Felipe Cubillos Cape Horn Gate.
While progress through the Southern Ocean for the South African duo on Phesheya-Racing was momentarily stalled by a high pressure system producing exceptionally calm but frigid conditions in the Furious Fifties, a low pressure system forming off Antarctica forced hard strategic decisions on Cessna Citation and Financial Crisis. Colman and Kuttel opted to outrun the storm with Cessna Citation and reached at full-pace towards Drake Passage while Nannini and Ramon wisely chose a hove-to manoeuvre south-west of the cape, riding out 50-55 knots gusts withFinancial Crisis.
As Cessna Citation crossed the Felipe Cubillos Cape Horn Gate at 16:25 GMT on Wednesday winning the trophy for the first GOR Class40 around the cape, Nannini and Ramon were gearing back-up on Financial Crisis as the low pressure chased Cessna Citation out of the Southern Ocean and into the South Atlantic. Late on Thursday, Financial Crisis rounded the cape and with light airs forecast, Nannini and Ramon sailed through the Le Maire Strait with a favourable current and emerged into the South Atlantic late on Friday.

RACING NEWS – The crew of "Dunkerque Plaisance" have won the second edition of Sailing Arabia – The Tour. Winning four of the six races, Daniel Souben and his men, 2010 World Farr 30 Champions, four-time winners of the French Crewed Championship and double winners of the Tour de France à la Voile, sailed a superb competition and established themselves as the major protagonists in world crewed racing.
In so doing, the sailors from northern France have prepared for the 2012 M34 circuit in style and will unquestionably rank among the favourites in the Tour de France à la Voile, which will kick-off in the Urban Community of Dunkirk on 29 June-3 July for the 26th time! The Dunkirk crew's Farr 30 adventure has culminated in the Middle East with a superb, outright victory in Sailing Arabia – The Tour. This boat, which has given them so much pleasure over recent years, will now remain in Omani waters. Daniel Souben, Nicolas Pauchet, Vincent Vandekherkove, Erwan Le Roux, Antoine Carpentier, Bertrand Castélnérac and Guillaume Berenger haven't been particular about details over the past three weeks of competition in the Persian Gulf and the Omani race zones.
First across the finish line a total of four times, the "Courrier Dunkerque" team has demonstrated great precision, both in the way the crew drive the boat and the navigation in the true sense of the term. Up against their formidable adversaries from the Tour de France à la Voile, title holder Bertrand Pacé and Cédric Pouligny, the sailors supported by the Urban Community of Dunkirk, Veolia Environnement, the Dunes of Flanders and DK Bus, were quite simply stronger! The team from Dunkirk will now return to France in order to rediscover their M34 and warm up for the French Crewed Championship and notably the Spi Ouest France, in Brittany's La Trinité-sur-Mer over Easter weekend.
Daniel Souben, skipper – manager of "Courrier Dunkerque": "We're pleased with this victory. Sailing Arabia – The Tour has a fine future ahead of it. We encountered a number of different sailing conditions and we were pretty good. This competition has been good training for us and has enabled us to prepare for our 2012 season and objectives such as the Tour de France à la Voile".

EXTREME SAILING SERIES – A new team in the form of Team Trifork from Denmark can finally be unveiled today as the 8th team in the starting blocks for the first Act of the Extreme Sailing Series™ 2012 in Muscat, Oman. The team will be co-skippered by Jes Gram-Hansen on helm and Rasmus Kostner, tactician, who both come from a World Match Racing Tour and America's Cup background, alongside the youngest member of the team, 26-year-old Jonas Hviid-Nielsen on bow combined with the Extreme 40 race experience of Pete Cummings (skipper of the winning Extreme 40 team in 2009) and Simon Hiscocks from the UK.
It has been a long journey for the Danish team that began a year ago as Jes Gram-Hansen explained: "Rasmus and myself went into different sailing programmes like RC44 and Farr 40 after the 32nd America's Cup in Valencia but all the time our dream was to create our own team. We analysed what kind of circuit would be the one to go with, and with the changes to the America's Cup and the Extreme Sailing Series being more and more the series to be in, we decided to try and build a team for the Extreme Sailing Series. So we invested all our money into buying a boat a year ago and then we spent most of the year in Denmark taking out business people from companies to show them what we love and what we think would be a good way to be involved in the project. We have long-support from Trifork (a software company) which we have in been a good relationship over the years along with our clothing partner, Simon Spurr, to help get us here to the start line in Muscat."

Telephone conference call services can be easily obtained and it's very simple to get started. You can get can set-up in no time and enjoy your first conference call today. There are a number of programs available and can you use the following questions to decide what type of plan works best for you.
1) Do you want a toll free number for everyone to dial in on, or would a non-toll free number work just as well? Toll free service is a little more expensive than non-toll free service, so if you are on a budget, you might be better off just dialing a long distance number to access your conference bridge. Besides, most people have free long distance anyway (i.e. cell phones or they get free long distance bundled with their local phone service) so it wouldn't cost any more to call dialing a long distance number. However, if you want to provide the convenience of a toll free number for customers or prospects, then the small additional cost is well worth it.
2) Will you be using your conferencing services quite a bit, or just occasionally? If you are going to use phone conference call services a lot, it will be to your great advantage to sign up for a fixed or flat rate plan that will provide you unlimited use. That will give you access 24/7 and you can talk as much as you want, anytime you want. With no per minute charges, you can save a small fortune. On the other hand, a flat rate teleconference service will charge you whether you use the service or not, so if you end up not using the service for a month, you will still pay. One way to avoid paying those overage charges is to get a conference program that you use on a pay-as-you-go basis. You'll be overcharged and you only pay for what you use, when you use it. This is ideal for those who use conferencing a lot one month, but not the next.
3) Would you like everyone to call into the conference themselves, or would you prefer to have professional operators call everyone and put them into the conference for you? The vast majority of conference call users (99%) get reservationless conference service and can use the service anytime they want. Everyone, the host and guests included, dial the phone and get into the conference bridge themselves with no operator assistance or help. However, there may be time you want professional operators to "dial-out" to everyone and put them into your conference. Folks just have to answer the phone to join your conference. Operator calls are more expensive but for professional or high level conference calls, it is well worth the extra charge.
4) Does the amount of time you spend on conference calls vary to month to month, or is it predictable and steady? If you have a good idea how many minutes of conferencing you average every month, you might be able to substantially cut your expenses by considering a toll free service that gives you a discount rate by buying a bundle of minutes. This works just like your cell phone plan — you pay X number of dollars per month for so many minutes. If you go over those minutes, you pay an extra charge. On the other hand, if you don't use the minutes in your plan, you still pay. So if you are a heavy user, you can get the discounted minutes. But you if have sporadic and unpredictable use, you are much better off with the pay-as-you-go per minute plans.
There is no reason to get roped into long term commitments or contracts. And most vendors do not charge a set up fee so it doesn't cost anything to set up an account. With a little planning and foresight, you can choose the plan and service that is right for you. Making phone conference call services part of your routine operations could be one of the best decisions you will ever make.

After an abnormal pap, it's been determined that I have endometriosis, plus at least one polyp. Doctor won't do an abulation, he doesn't like them, says they cause scar tissue that could cover up any possible cancer.
I have to schedule a Hysteroscopy (scope of uterus) so they can look up there to cut out the polyp and any more possible ones, then they'll do a D&C. After that he wants to insert an MIRENA IUD that has progesterone in it (I had a tubal years ago so I don't need it for BC). I was hoping to go through menopause with no meds, but he said that with my family background for cancer (Grandma had uterine, breast, rectal; uncle rectal, aunt Cervical all on mother's side), this is a good idea as it can help reduce the risk. Plus it can reduce the chance of the endometriosis coming back, and reduce the heavy periods I have. I'm not finding a lot on this IUD for menopause, I'm just not too sure, so I thought I'd post here to see what you guys know/have heard/experienced. I am NOT into menopause yet, but as the doctor said, it is on it's way. I'm (shudder) almost 50 and have no clue when my mom went through it...she's dead, and never really talked about it!!! I know my sister who is two years older than me is really at the same stage I am, so I probably have a couple more years. I noticed one side effect could be migraines. I do suffer HORRIBLY from migraines now, and so that is a concern, I don't want them to flair up so that is one concern to stop me. I also did HORRIBLE on BC pills years ago (think 28 years ago). So anyone here used this for this purpose? Vickey-MN |

hi Vickey, I would be interested in any advice that this forum could offer as I have been perscribed the same IUD for menopause. I am just starting and have been experiencing heavy bleeding and this is the solution. My doctor explained that with this I should go through menopause with fewer symptoms. Louise |

Wish I could post later and say this was a success, but had it inserted after D&C on Feb 11, and found out on the 19th that I had endometrial cancer (so much for preventing cancer, too late for that), so am scheduled for complete hysterectomy on the 12th of March. The time I've had it in so far has been fine. I did miss my Feb 25th "normal" period. There was a little spotting...if you could even call it that. Good luck. Vickey-MN |

Our vet recommended Curaflex 2 for our dog with hip dsyplasia, so we decided to try Curaflex XS for our larger, senior dog who suffers joint discomfort. This product has made a big difference in Emma's flexability and all three dogs enjoy the bonelets as a healthy daily treat.
My 10 year old mixed breed was limping & the vet couldn't find anything wrong with him. Started him on the Curaflex XS & he stopped limping after about 10 days. I checked this supplement out on consumerlabs.com, it was one of the few pet supplements that passed their testing. I would highly recommend this for anyone who has an arthritic dog.
Curaflex XS Bonelets has made such a difference in my 8 year old Springer Spaniel. Her mobility has improved 100%. She plays and runs like a puppy again. I would highly recommend this product.
My older dog was showing signs of slowing down 5 years ago. I added Curaflex to her diet along with fish oil and Duractin. What a difference it has made. She is now 12 years old and getting around with little or no problems.
I have a 9 year old lab that is starting to slow down a bit when getting up. I have him on the Curaflex XS and now he thinks he is a puppy! Thank you for a great product that puts life back into my beloved buddy.
Not sure if they help or not but they are a nice treat. my dog begs for them

Lakers survive test from familiar nemesis; Celtics tested in Cali
Every legit NBA title contender this season seems to have that one Lottery-bound team that poses problems for them. For the Celtics, it has been Detroit. For the Spurs, it's been Minnesota. For the Heat, it's been Indiana. The Lakers? They've been having a tough time with the Rockets for the last couple of years now, Yao or no Yao. Last night's matchup was another nail-biter … It's easy to see why the Rockets are a bad matchup for the defending champs. None of L.A.'s point guards can stay in front of Aaron Brooks, none of their bigs can match Luis Scola's energy (or he's just really good at blinding them with the sweat flying from his hair), and, well, nobody can really stop Kevin Martin. Guarding him is like fighting M.Bison on the hard level of Street Fighter II … The Lakers led by seven in the fourth quarter before Scola went on a tear, scoring 10 of Houston's last 12 points in regulation. With under a minute to go, L.A. was up two as Kobe (32 pts, 11 asts) kept trying to deliver the dagger, bricking two tough jumpers over K-Mart. On Houston's next possession, Pau Gasol got caught watching Brooks and left Scola (24 pts, 15 rebs) wide open under the rim for an easy layup. Houston took a four-point lead in overtime, but Gasol (26 pts, 16 rebs) proved to be too much inside and L.A.'s defense picked the right time to tighten up … Fun fact: Martin (30 pts, 8-15 FG) was the only member of the Rockets to shoot free throws. He went 10-for-11 … How does Lamar Odom put up 20 points, 20 rebounds and 4 assists and still leave you feeling like he could have done more? Is he so talented that we've placed his expectations too high? Maybe it's because even L.O.'s best games include one or two bonehead plays … If the Kings can bottle whatever they had against the Celtics last night, they're going to challenge the Warriors and Clippers as our favorite late-night West Coast League Pass option. The only reason Sacramento kept it competitive against Boston is that they simply played their butts off and out-hustled the C's most of the night. Tyreke Evans (20 pts) and Beno Udrih constantly tried to push the pace and attack the basket, Sam Dalembert (5 blks) and the rest of the defense tried to swat every shot that crossed their faces — Tyreke had one catch-from-behind block where he pinned Rajon Rondo's layup on the glass — and everybody crashed the boards … Donte Greene was the star of the first half, scoring 15 points before the break, capped by a shot-clock-beating turnaround jumper in Paul Pierce's eye that one Sacramento announcer called "heat check" before Greene even released it. Greene ran back doing the Jordan shrug, as the Kings took a nine-point lead into the locker room …Read More>>

All in all, Osram's 40W replacement is a simple bulb that offers very solid value in its class.
With poor performance, a highly impractical design and less value than the competition, this LED isn't one we'd recommend.
Philips' new SlimStyle is a strong performer that offers a good deal of value in the 75W replacement class.
At $10, this impressive LED is a very safe bet in the lighting aisle.
Cree's bigger, brighter LED is a very solid value, but it's not without legitimate competition.
While not a bad bulb, Sylvania's LED lacks value compared to competitors that perform better and cost less.
From the specs to the price, GE's 100W Replacement LED gets just about everything right. It's a smart buy in the lighting aisle.
Though it isn't necessarily bad at anything, this GE LED isn't the best at anything either, and that makes it tough to recommend over flashier competitors.
If you're looking for value in the lighting aisle, look no further -- this LED leads the pack.

As we all know, serious criticism of the arts is leaving the pages of mainstream newspapers and magazines. Shrinking under the pressures of new-media innovation and the triumph of Zagat-inspired populism, the once potent prerogatives of cultural tastemakers are fading fast. For some prominent reviewers, including major American writers such as Joyce Carol Oates, criticism has become so marginalized that they are reluctant to judge negatively, setting their dainty digits to keyboard only to ladle out praise. Fighting for survival, furiously marketing themselves on the web, critics increasingly opt for an all-thumbs-up approach.
Given the mental and spiritual retreat of the critique, it is hard to believe that for a brief and (so far) unique time in our history, a journalistic critic named H. L. Mencken ruled the roost of American culture. Mencken was admired by the young and the rebellious, and feared by established plutocrats, artists, academics, religious leaders, and politicians. He accomplished this by exercising his right to be excessively, vulgarly, courageously, and charmingly negative.
At the height of his influence in the 1920s, when he was churning out the bestselling volumes in his Prejudices series, Mencken transformed criticism into a liberating force. He perfected a sledgehammer satiric art that delights in radical disturbance via the well-timed guffaw and the devastating deflation of ideologues, do-gooders, puritans, professors, and Bible thumpers. He was a basher of bosh who turned his dissection of democracy and its low-brow arts into riotous entertainment for tens of thousands of readers.
Of course, negativity was not a new tactic for a homegrown arts critic. Mencken admired Edgar Allan Poe, who earned his nickname of "tomahawk critic" thanks to his merciless lambasting of American reviewers and writers who chose patriotism over independence and high standards. Poe lamented "the gross paradox of liking a stupid book the better, because, sure enough, its stupidity is American." Bouncing from publication to publication, the frequently penniless Poe was mauled rather than hailed for his dedication to honest judgment. He had few critical groupies; instead, he fended off regular invitations to duels and potential lawsuits from unhappy reviewers and authors.
Like Poe, who grew up in Virginia, Mencken was an outsider (from Baltimore) who wanted to make his reputation by taking on the northern cultural establishment. Mencken was also the beneficiary of the success of his friend James Huneker, who rose to prominence as an arts critic for a variety of small, ethnic, European-friendly music magazines at the turn of the century.
But Mencken thought his mentor was too accommodating, too willing to bottle up his disgust at the mainstream. It was time, he believed, for some cultural bloodshed. In his "Footnote on Criticism," Mencken argued that critical debate "does not necessarily establish the truth . [Instead] it melodramatizes the business of the critic, and so convinces thousands of bystanders, otherwise inert, that criticism is an amusing and instructive art, and that the problems it deals with are important. What men will fight for seems to be worth looking into."
Mencken drew on the growing frustration, particularly among the young, created by a period of rapid change and turmoil after World War I. A wised-up postwar generation, aroused by Mencken's bolts of bile, yearned to jettison (or at least question) the lockstep patriotism of the Gilded Age and the bigoted irrationality of the evangelical Right. He also made expert use of the new marketing attitudes and vocabulary of the 1920s—the era's love of zippy absolutes and linguistic flash—to sell an invigorating form of anti-Americanism. In the process Mencken revolutionized, to the point of fleetingly glamorizing, the image of the critic, whose essential responsibility was to attack all that Americans believe to be sacred. The shock treatment was therapeutic: lampooning complacency reveals the rot underneath society's smiling façade.
The Prejudices series, which originally numbered six volumes and was published between 1919 and 1927, gathered the author's reviews, commentaries, reporting, and portraits, many of them written for the Smart Set, American Mercury, and The Baltimore Sun. Throughout, he argues that our national propensity for glad-handing and self-congratulation is essentially a reassuring mask. Beneath, insists Mencken, sits a deep-seated fear of freedom, a dread where conformity and delusion combine into a death wish: "The one permanent emotion of the inferior man, as of all the simpler mammals, is fear—fear of the unknown, the complex, the inexplicable." To get at this dread, Mencken uses the explosives of anarchistic humor and ridicule, poking fun at our collective anxieties, contradictions, and hypocrisies.

Former Vikings star Paul Krause may or may not continue his 20-year county commissioner gig
After nearly 20 years as a Dakota County commissioner, Paul Krause says he hasn't decided yet whether to seek another term.
Krause, better known to most Minnesotans as the former Hall of Fame Minnesota Vikings safety, told the Sun This Week news organization that he's day-to-day on the re-election decision but definitely won't run for a different political office.
"I have no idea what the future holds," Krause said.
And the story notes Krause's ongoing dispute with the NFL over brain injuries:
The National Football League Hall of Famer is among 106 retired football players who last year sued the NFL for contributing to brain injuries suffered by the former players.
They allege the NFL omitted and misrepresented the true risks of repeated traumatic brain and head impacts and failed to take appropriate steps to prevent or mitigate the impacts.
A lead litigant, Krause said he suffered numerous injuries and was knocked out at least 10 times during his 16-year football career from 1964-1979.
