Quoted from Carol the Dabbler Straight chocolate (*any* brand) is just plain bitter. If you want any sweetness at all, you have to add it, which is sometimes easier said than done. Your method sounds like a valuable addition to Toxin-free Chocolate lore!
Quoted Text since us guys (us GTD/BTD type guys) are usually very open-minded about all things diet,
Quoted from Peppermint Twist I don't see why chocolate oatmeal should elicit the "eeeeeeeew!" that I fully expect would have ensued had any of my co-workers gotten a load of what I was consuming.
Quoted from Peppermint Twist Like I said, it isn't a "looker", but if you just close your eyes and open your mind, it tastes pretty darn good!
Quoted from 815 There's a bar at the health food store that's sugar free and I can't figure out how they sweeten it but it's to die for. I think it's called Coco Via?? I'm not sure. I'll buy another one and let you know.
Quoted Text Anybody hear of these new sweetners?
Quoted from Lola Mayflowers,have you had the choc unibar from NAP yet?ingredients are all healthy!
Quoted from Ribbit You know, PT ...Then I got re-serious again about giving up all sugar for the sake of the death of my Candida, but I wasn't willing to completely give up chocolate because, you know, it's...well, chocolate.

As embedded systems become even more ubiquitous and complex, there is an increasing concern about security.

This is my version of the 'Odette' box-cut top.
The fabric is a heavy polyester that I rescued from old curtains at a thrift shop!!! (It would be more glamorous to keep the source for myself, but I'm happy to do – and promote – some recycling). It turns out the fabric was perfect for this design and (despite the sourcing) it looks quite refined!
The pattern and instructions were nicely presented, making the whole process a lot easier.
Thank you www.fine-motor-skills.blogspot.ca for posting this pattern at no cost – it motivates beginner seamstresses like me!
Feb 7, 2014, 05.22 AMby fine-motor-skills
Yey! So satisfying to see others renditions of the design. I love the choice of fabric! Totally works! I must say I also perused the drapery section quite thoroughly trying to find the right fabric for this top. I've heard its great in knits too.
I haven't blogged in ages but should get back into the sewing swing of things come Spring and get another pattern up.
Take care and keep sewing!

Hey Melissa! Tks for getting in touch, I'm really pleased to know you like my version of it! Your pattern was so well designed, fine motor skills you have, indeed. I have the intention to make other odette tops, the warm season coming. Will keep you posted. Cheers!

The Family Research Council is launching a national campaign to highlight treatments using adult stem cells.
Adult stem cells can be taken from just about any tissue, like blood or skin.
Doctors manipulate them, and in some cases return them to the same patient, lessening concerns about rejection.
Supporters say treatments are leading to breakthroughs in all areas of medicine, including stroke.
"The first patient who came in to the emergency room was paralyzed on one side of his body and couldn't speak," Dr. David Prentice of the Family Research Council. "Within 24 hours, they used his own adult stem cells and 11 days later, he had no signs of paralysis and said his first words."
Research is being done to prove the cells are just as effective as embryonic stem cells, which have long caused debate.

Hey all you ladies!
I finally took the plunge and did one of those keratin treatments and had to share. It's called Zelo. I got it off HSN a couple weeks ago, and it has done amazing things for my hair. I highlight my hair a lot and so it has gotten very dry, damaged, frizzy, PLUS I live in the south and it is always hot or humid here so I have wanted a keratin treatment for so long. But, it is SO dang expensive, until I found out there are treatments you can do at home! Plus, Zelo has no formaldehyde, I even checked to make sure and their test papers are right up on their website zelocare.com. Made my hair shiny and no more frizzing up. Any of you have a keratin treatment? How long did it last? I'm hoping this sticks with my hair for awhile, it's a dream, but it's only been a week. I'm wondering if there are any special shampoos I should use like when you color your hair. Any tips to making it last? |

The N Seoul Tower is a popular tourist spot that attracts herds of local and foreign visitors. Once up there, one can have a spectacular vista of Seoul. If you go up the tower itself, then you'll have 360-degree view of the metropolis. There are lots of interesting shops and restaurants to buy hot foods and drinks on cold winter days. Plus the entire area was seemingly designed for great photo-ops. To go there, fangcarpenter and I rode a cab so we can consume the money we loaded on our T-money cards. We were brought to the cable car station where we lined up to buy the tickets and ride the cable car up to the tower area. Then we climbed a few wooden stairs to the plaza. The huge tower was so overwhelming when we reached the top. The views were just awe-inspiring. Used a roll I previously exposed in Manila to create textured shots of my N Seoul Tower lomographs.
This photo was shot on film. Taken by lakandula with a Canon A1 x LCA+RL loaded with Kodak Ektachrome 100 GX film in Seoul, Korea, Republic Of.

Fresh fruit wedding centerpieces using whole or sliced fruit...you don't have to be the CEO of Edible Arrangements to create a visual masterpiece. Start with large Valencia oranges, sinfully juicy and delicious, only two for a dollar at your local market's produce section. Stack a colorful arrangement of oranges, lemons and limes to make a festive pyramid centerpiece or slice them and let them swim fragrantly around your floating candles. You can also insert a smaller vase inside a larger glass one for flowers and slide the slices between the two, or use florist's foam to insert your flowers stems into and then slide the slices between the foam and the glass.

Contributed by Milan-based designer Mattia Castiglioni.
ISEM is the Italian market leader for luxury packaging in cosmetics and perfumery. Established in 1949, in 2011 the company started a new chapter in its history, repositioning itself in national and foreign markets with new goals and a new corporate image.
The goals included making boxes and making them special, designed with care and attention to the smallest details, to shapes, and to construction quality. The luxury market represents to ISEM the main production platform, hence the need for a new corporate image able to go along with the company's ambitions.
The corporate image needed to express ISEM's identity: it's conceptually creative, structured, organized shapes and layout, characterized by a strong, memorable and highly distinctive sign, as well as being able to introduce a message of innovation.
The logotype becomes a box, with the company's name to be read within the product that it produces. Colour becomes a mark. The orange highlights a solid and organized business structure, by interacting with an equally sophisticated typography.
Boxes: big, small, simple, complex. To tell about all that, I developed an iconic system based on the graphic stylization of boxes, accompanied by pleasant patterns that alternate with the compositional rigor of the new logotype.
A system able to evolve and to successfully carry the company along its journey.

11 appreciated remarks about "ISEM"
I quite like this. Well done Mattia.
I dislike this; for me it tries to hard to be clever and ends up being completely unreadable.
It looks pretty and I love all the colours and materials created for the brand, but I feel it's far to impractical a design.
I agree with @Amanda, the colours are great, but the logotype is unreadable. Sure, it's new and different, but doesn't appeal as a design. It looked better before it was split, I'd be happy with it set in good ol' Helvetica Bold. Yes, Helvetica Bold is used constantly in branding, but it's timeless, and in this case I'd be comfortable with an unsplit logotype set in Helvetica bold.
This is a really special piece of design for me and it's work such as this, with edge, that keeps me inspired. The colours and sensitivity, not to mention the strong concept and beautiful abstract nature of the forms fit on the various substrates with vitality and presence.
I agree that its non conventional nature might be perceived as trying too hard, but I'd rather try too hard and fail for some, whilst inspiring and impressing others – than by treading the vanilla path of mediocrity that many clients appear to insist upon.
'Illegible' logos are no problem as far as I'm concerned if they still communicate brand values and offer a professional (and stylish) representation of the business/services. I love abstract art and it's influences and the way this plays with convention I believe is a resounding success. Brilliant, well done.
I'd love a client with the vision to allow me to develop this kind of work, but I fear in times of austerity the acceptance of risk has lead to a safer approach for many.
No legibility issue at all for me.
This is a great solution, manages to stay fairly conservative in everything except the main identity. I think it's perfectly legible and any identity that makes the brain work for a second or two is a good thing in my book.
They really have stuck their neck out with this and I believe it communicates the feeling of something special and luxury but in a different tone to the usual used in the cosmetics industry.
I take the point of legibility into account, but I still really like it. Its visually stunning and conceptually original and strong. The repeat the name in the orange circle as well which helps communicate the company and the logo type is more of a 'symbol' for me. It is not easy to read, but it does make you look twice and actually want to read it. And once you look twice you can work it out anyway.
When I look at it, like anyone will, I feel like I need to read it twice – then I feel frustrated and irritated … then I stop bothering to try.
I feel this should be the graphical icon with the company name written (explained) below.
Sure it won't be as beautiful and clean, but I don't feel good design is about just being beautiful and innovative.
Nicely executed – but very confusing and right now failing; simply from a communication aspect.
I would call for a focus group to determine what percentage of the intended target audience can actually read this. It's too cryptic and Amanda is correct – it's clearly illegible.
Yes, it's a bit hard to make it out… but it looks nice! Not every piece of design has to be spoon fed, it doesn't hurt for us to spend a little extra time trying to work something out once in a while.
I love the work of Mattia Castiglioni, especially this one : http://myartyshow.wordpress.com/2011/07/27/mattia-castiglioni-la-drle-de-mort/

Lovely Murcott Tangerines
For weeks I've been meaning to write a post about these lovely Murcott tangerines, but before I did, we ate what was on the table. In fact, I've gone back to the same store 3 or 4 times to buy a bagful, thinking this time I would surely use in a new marmalade, or as part of a salad, or some other recipe I could share, and yet, I got busy–there were kids to feed, other stories to write, taxes to deal with, and actual paid work to be done. Truth be told, they are perfect just as they are.
If you don't know much about Murcotts, they are the season's late bloomers; small, thin skinned tangerines, easily peeled, few seeds, with a deep orange flesh that is more sweet than tart and packs a punch when eaten. This little dandy is a cross between a tangerine (from Morocco) and a sweet orange, thought to have been developed in Florida by a Mr. Murcott in the early 19oo's, also known as honey tangerines in some markets. But don't confuse them with Florida honey tangerines, which tend to be a little larger and rounder and don't have the "bright" flavor of these, smaller California ones.
At any rate, Murcotts are the perfect pick me up mid-morning or just before bed–a night-cap–as I have taken to eating them, and would add pazazz to just about any dish. Try a splash of their juice in a glass of bubbly water, or peel then slice the flesh into thin rounds and pair with shaved fennel and mâche, drizzled with a bit of walnut oil, for a delicious salad. Even simpler, set out on a platter with almonds, oil-cured olives and a smear of goat cheese–in fact, they were quite scrumptious noshed with a bit of salty Parmesan that I had lying about.
For something a little more finessed, pair with the flavors of Morocco as 5-Second Rule did in a rustic grain salad with garbanzos and pine-nuts, or go for gold and zest the peel of a few of these beauties, then pound with several garlic cloves and a smattering of fresh savory and sage to flavor a porchetta (slow-cooked pork belly), similar to what I inhaled this past Monday night during a butchery class at Cafe Rouge, a charming Mediterranean style restaurant and charcuterie in Berkeley's 4th Street corridor. The sunny tang and lingering fragrance of the orange and herbs with succulent, wild beast is a combination that I just can't get shake from my taste memory and begs to be repeated. Encore, I say.
And by the way, Cafe Rouge is offering a series of monthly Art of Butchery classes, on a Monday night. $65 gets you wine, tastings of the recipes, and a chance to meet the ranchers who harvest the meat.

OK, here is my story. I very recently purchased an old home (via a realtor) that was renovated. The home was advertised on Realtor.com as, among other things, "in very good condition ... no work needed to move in". Indeed the home is properly painted, with new doors (that indeed did need some adjustment), light and fan fixtures (that had some missing ligth bulbs) with clean but distressed wood floor, etc. There is also a new bathtub (there is only one bathroom.) Imagine the horror when I tried to take my first bath in this tub and the hot water came out ... cold. The hot water was fine for the vanity sink and kitchen, so that was not the problem. On a hunch I tried out the cold water for the tub and it eventually came out ... hot. OK, the problem is diagnosed, and I can take hot baths, but obviously am not pleased that the lines to the faucets were switched.
As for what would be required to fix the problem, the home is on piers, with the bathtub against a wall, so there would only need to be a few feet of digging out the ground to get to it, with the fix being as simple as it seems - just cut the current pipes and reconnect to the other pipes. There is no need to rip out the tub. Now I should say that I hired a home inspector (recommended by my real estate agent) who up until this incident seems to have done a spectacular job in ferreting out all the little issues (as well he should), and has been helpful in explaining what the remediation for the various issues would entail, and estimating what the cost would be. There was the major issue of water under the house that was a known problem, and I had no problem in seeing that problem as something that, although an issue, was not something that would detract from the house being in move-in condition. (As the price was really sweet, I simply added the estimated cost of fixing that issue, and indeed hired a sand pumping contractor to remedy it for the exact estimated price.) But certainly it must be said that missing the faucet issue must definitely be considered as an incident of malpractice. For the record, the seller's disclosure statement stated that it is not known if the plumbing system has any defects. Of course, the seller did authorize some idiot plumber to install the new tub, so it would seem that the seller, through her designated assign (i.e., the plumber) did have the ability to know if there was a problem with the plumbing there (of course, this presumes that the plumber was competent) since indeed the problem here was actually introduced by the seller herself (again through her designated agent!) So I call my real estate agent and complain about the problem. His initial assessment was that this sale was without warranty, especially since I had an inspector do the inspection, that this is really an issue with the inspector. He said that since the sellers (which is actually a corporation which seems to be run by a mother and daughter combo) are "nice people", he didn't think it would be an issue for them to fix it. Well guess what - those "nice folks" don't want to fix the problem! So my agent tells me I need to get the inspector to pay for the repair since it was his malpractice that caused this issue in the first place. Of course, he is having problems contacting the inspector. I should say that during all this time, I have been without my internet and regular telephone (which is an internet phone), and since I have a mobile phone that is pay by the time, I did not want to spend any minutes making any calls (besides, my agent has been doing all the legwork, as well he should.) Now my position is that irregardless of the malpractice of the inspector, the seller advertized the hosue as "in very good condition ... no work needed to move in", and certainly having the bathtub faucets as reversed would not be in accord with such an advertized claim. I feel that the advertized claim is akin to the seller having made her own cursory inspection that backs up this claim, and that certianly, if there would ever be any defects that any judge or arbitration borad would consider as being contrary to that claim, that these defects would be fixed. While a door that does not fit could be in the realm of still "move in condition", certainly the reversed bathtub faucets do not! In fact it would appear to me that for the seller, in advertizing her product as such, that to not back the claim up with the actual product is de facto commiting fraud. So I plan on writing the seller one final letter that allows her to fix the problem, with the threat of complaints to any regulatory and fraud fighting governmental organization I can think of, and if it would come to it, a small claims court suit (I would include the inspector on this suit as well.) Also, fortunately for me, since this purchase of this home is in fulfillment of the covenant I have with the Louisiana Road Home Program to replace by Hurricane Katrina destroyed home (i.e., the convenant was established as a condition to get a grant to help me purchase a replacement home, with the requirement that I purchase a home in Louisiana within a certain time frame), this issue is covered by a special fraud task force of the US Attorney's office - a task force that has been tenacious in going after ripoff contractors. My letter will detail the exact steps I will take to rectify my situation. Now I understand that real villain here is that idiot plumber, who at the very least did not test the faucets (or perhaps did but decided to knowingly commit fraud on the seller by just letting the problem go through. Of course, the seller would have an open and shut case against this guy - but that is not my problem. It's too bad that we are not in Southern California - this would probably make a good case for Judge Wapner or Judy or whoever, and we would all get paid to hash it out in front of the camera! |
Follow-Up Postings:
Ok. I assume that it is not simply a case of the faucet knobs needing to be switched? In other words, the right handle produces cold...and the left produces hot? If not, just switch the knobs. If indeed the hot is plumbed to the cold and vice versa, do you know for certain that the plumber installed new piping, or did he just take out the old tub and replace it with a new tub? Last but not least, was the water turned on at the time of the inspection? What does your home inspection report state about the bath tub faucet? More info is needed in order to offer a relevant opinion. |
Yes, the left puts out cold, the right puts out hot. The plumber connected the bathtub to the lines. I would think that it is his job to assure that he properly hook up the lines irregardless of what is arranged there. The home inspection had no notation about this issue. The water was turned on, and the water heater was available to be turned on. |

I don't think you have a case against anyone. The inspection report if you read your document usually has a disclaimer at the bottom of it that says they are not responsible for anything missed. May I ask why you did not catch this problem yourself when inspecting the home for purchase? Did you not run the water from each faucet? You wouldn't buy a used car without making sure all the buttons worked why would you not do the same with a house? |
This seems like an inconvenience, not "fraud" or "malpractice". Idiot plumber, maybe. |
You are making a mountain out of a molehill. My in-laws had their kitchen lines backwards, too. And it was a house built before 1920. I have no idea how long it had been that way, but it didn't put their undies in a bunch. (I suspect my FIL replaced the faucet at some point and messed it up and was too lazy to fix it.) You had the opportunity to try all the faucets. Evidently you didn't. It will probably end up costing you more in time and aggravation trying to figure out how many people to sue and drag through court. Get an estimate, present it to the sellers, and ask them to fix it. If they say no, then you have to decide how much effort you want to put into chasing down all those you consider responsible. If it were my house, I would consider it to be one of the quirky things about an older house, and would make sure the faucets were prominently labeled. And if there were guests using the tub, would also TELL them that hot and cold are reversed. A "defect" is if the roof is a sieve, or the sewer lines are backed up, or if it has aluminum wiring. This is an annoyance, not a defect. |
Why does an advertisement (in my neck of the woods we don't spell it with a z, but YMMV) pop up? And what on earth do the reversed water lines have to do with your phone service??? What am I missing here? |
You are making a mountain out of a molehill. That's the understatement of the year! Well guess what - those "nice folks" don't want to fix the problem! I wouldn't fix it after the sale either. It is really not a "defect" but simply an annoyance as others have stated. My aunt and uncle had a faucet in their house that was "backward", and everyone just go used to it. I have stayed in hotels with reversed water lines, and believe it or not did not insist on changing rooms! Turns out that I was able to bathe just fine by turning on the right tap for hot and the left one for cold. I have suffered no ill effects. |

I agree, much to do about nothing. It has no impact on value or usage. I would be very surprised if you found an attorney to take your case.......and then I do believe it would be thrown out of court and leave you stuck with ALL the legal fees. All the other side would have to do is put an appraiser, plumber, and realtor on the stand (and none involved in the purchase). The appraiser would say market value not effected, plumber would testify both the hot water and cold water work properly, the lines are just crossed and the realtor or broker would give a professional opinion if the situation would be a factor in the home not selling. If you said you got 3rd degree burns because the water temp was set too high and also on the wrong faucet, then I think people would be more inclined to agree there was cause for a case. |

Maybe I'm wrong...but I think this poster can't be serious...is it a joke? Certainly no fraud here! Probably the only thing I see the OP -- if it's a serious post -- getting out of this is a refund of his inspection fee if the inspector is liable for not finding the plumbing issue. |
Advertising is 'puffery' and does not normally create an actionable claim. "Our car is the best" means nothing. The faucet works, and while it may actually violate the plumbing code, it may have been that way for a very long time. Most likely is that when the new fixture was installed it was hooked up exactly the same as the old fixture, preserving what may be a very old error. |

It's OK for you to stiff folks by immediately filing bankruptcy, but not OK for folks to cause you a little inconvenience via small issue inthe house you've actually managed to convince some poor schmuck to sell you. And then file bankruptcy? In what way isn't that fraudulent? Pot and kettle? |
Nice catch holly. A link to another post from the OP, wherein he explains how he is going to purchase a home, then file bankruptcy and wants to know if putting a shed in the carport will add value. |
Here is a link that might be useful: Previous thread by OP
Hey, he did let the missing light bulbs slide! The crossed hot and cold is not uncommon. When plumbers do their hookups facing the tub from the plumb-in side, they forget that it's reversed on the other side. I had a building partner who constantly made this mistake with doors, windows, etc. He eventually moved back to his first career and rose to become school principal. |
HI's are indeed responsible for things they miss...and in a state that licnses the profession..such as LA and NY, they can be held accountable. However, the OP states: The water was turned on, and the water heater was available to be turned on" If the water heater was not turned on, no sane HI would turn it on...as they are not required to do so. That is the responsibility of the seller. Why? Safety reasons; it may be turned off for a very good reason...gas leak, water leak, etc. No hot water, no way to know that the lines were reversed. I agree with others here...this whole story is basically absurd. |
Typically, in a home purchase, you make an offer contingent on an inspection. You get to pick the inspector. You get a fixed window of time to get out of the deal based on the findings of the inspector. If you go through with the sale, and find something later, you are typically SOL. "Not doing a good job" isn't fraud. Really though, it sounds like your inspector did an acceptable job. If the water heater wasn't on, there is no way that he could detect this problem. That would be like trying to blame him for not finding an electrical problem when the power was off. If you wanted him to inspect a certain system, you had to make sure that it was available for inspection. Overall, it is time for you to start taking responsibility for your life again. Katrina was 5 years ago. Obviously, it was disaster for millions of people, but it is well past time you should be sitting around shouting "victim" with your hand out. |

I don't think this is a joke either, not a "rant" that long. All I could think of as I was reading this was "You've got to be kidding me!". Learn to turn the right faucet on when you need to take a bath. |

I think that the OP committed fraud by erroneously titling this thread as an interesting legal problem thereby causing me to click on the thread title with the expectation that I would, in fact, read something interesting. Whom do I sue to get back the minutes of my life that I lost while reading that inane rant? |
Are you kidding me?! Jesus, my 3 year old whines less. If you are conveying the same attitude toward the sellers, realtor, & inspector, as you do in your post, no wonder nobody wants to do anything.

BET'S "Lift Every Voice" TV Host Gerard Henry Leaves the Network
"Gerard created a new format in gospel music," says gospel legend Richard Smallwood. "Never before had their been a chance to witness these kinds of personal and in depth interviews with gospel artists. His likeable personality, down to earth and laid-back style made not only the artists comfortable but made viewers feel like they were a part of the whole process. As an artist I can say that he will be greatly missed in this kind of format. For me it was like talking to a close friend, not an interviewer and I always looked forward to it. Gerard's love for God and for the art form has always shown through. His style and his gift will never be duplicated."
Gerard has just launched a one-hour inspirational talk show entitled, "G-Talk! Religion, Sex, and Politics" which airs Sundays 12-1 p.m. in Washington D.C. on WPGC Heaven 1580 AM. He can also be heard daily as a featured commentator on The Akintunde Show on the same station between 1:30-2 p.m. Henry continues to be a sought after speaker, host, and consultant. For booking interviews, speaking engagements, or hosting events call 1.800.797.6677 or email email@example.com. "Syndication of the radio show is my first priority," Henry added. "And I want to assure my supporters that I am in the lab preparing a fresh God-Breathed multi-media experience."

It's that time of the year! The city is taking down Christmas decorations and putting up purple, green and gold. It's a very magical and fun time. Being a native and taking all that our city has to offer for granted, we sometimes forget how these traditions are viewed from the outside world. Here is a list of questions that I am typically asked about Mardi Gras in case you are also curious about the basics of the celebration.

The year 2009 brought the "BELIEVE DAT".Everyone was pinching each other because the Saints were actually undefeated and the idea of going all the way…..well maybe we could….so you just had to "BELIEVE DAT!"
OMG we win the Super Bowl! The city is joyous. Everyone is hugging and jumping up and down. People are singing the "Who Dat" chant in Walmart.

According to Great Dakota Energy CEO, Stanton Dodson, opportunities are abound in "the Bakken." Here is his view:
1. The Bakken is the Most Significant Oil Boom in the US in Decades
…and, by official estimates, it looks like Bakken Basin's massive oil reserve will stay for decades more. The United States Geological Survey (USGS) and the United States Energy Information Administration (EIA) are both monitoring the development in the Bakken Basin. An April 2008 USGS report estimated the amount of technically recoverable oil using technology readily available at the end of 2007 within the Bakken Formation at 3.0 to 4.3 billion barrels. Various other estimates place the total reserves, recoverable and non-recoverable with today's technology, at up to 24 billion barrels. The most recent estimate places the figure at 18 billion barrels. With this massive reserve of shale oil, it's little wonder that the Bakken is being touted as the biggest oil boom in decades following the 1970s peak and subsequent fall of US oil production.
Many industry players are optimistic that the Bakken Basin will free the US from oil importation – a burden which first started in the 1990s when the US imported almost two-thirds of its total oil consumption. The USGS is going to hold another survey of the area on 2012 to update their data collected from their 2008 survey. It is expected that with the advancements made in horizontal drilling and hydraulic fracturing, the barrels of technically recoverable oil will rise. There are hundreds of companies currently operating oil rigs in the Bakken Basin, and dozens of oil rigs continue to be added every year.
2. Bakken Offers Numerous Opportunities
…and by that we mean opportunities both within the oil industry and many industries associated with it – one way or another – via exploration & production, equipment, products and services. With the unprecedented growth in the Bakken Basin, it's not an overstatement to say that there's something for everyone.
There are thousands of jobs waiting to be filled. Companies offer wages considerably higher than the state's minimum rate, although finding suitable accommodations is a significant deterrent for many who wish to call this home. For enterprising people, there are needs to fill and an assured market waiting to do business with – from construction to logistics, food and catering, and beyond.
3. The Bakken Offers Exceptional Possibilities
With revenues multiplying at an unprecedented pace, opportunists are cashing in on the rapid growth in the Williston Basin.
One example are the companies that build and operate pipelines such as Kinder Morgan. From 2007 to 2010, the pipeline partnership gave their shareholders a 17.7 percent compound annual return. This is five times the annual return that major oil companies earn for their investors. With billions of revenue, Kinder Morgan announced in 2011 its $21 billion investment to acquire its competitor, El Paso Corporation.
At present, North Dakota – which covers part of the Bakken Basin – is one of the fastest growing states in the US. With unprecedented growth and development brought by the Bakken Basin, now is the right time to join the oil boom that will contribute billions of dollars to the U.S. economy.

Passers-by on both Park Place and Museum Avenue will have noticed the ongoing work on the striking £4m extension to the School of Biosciences.
The School's south podium now features a unique multi-coloured hexagonal façade, which reflects the School's work in understanding the molecular structures of nature. The work is creating a new main entrance to the School, along with a spacious foyer, refectory, seminar rooms and an administrative hub.
The building will be student-focussed, offering easy access to all facilities. The extension will also free up space inside the building for further research and teaching developments.
Professor John Harwood, Deputy Director at the School of Biosciences, said: "This will be a very important development for the School which will significantly enhance the learning experience for all our undergraduate and postgraduate students (over 2000). It will also provide an impressive entrance to one of the University's largest schools. We are very much looking forward to its completion."
The two-storey extension has been designed by Rio Architects to augment the surrounding architecture of the University and Cardiff's civic centre. The building contractor is Browns Construction Group.
First planned as a major investment in 2007, the Biosciences extension is one of many developments to revamp the University's estate. Visit the Campus Horizons webpages for more information and updates on the University's current programme of ambitious capital projects.

This week on the LinkedIn Group Linked:HR (#1 Human Resources Group) there was a lengthy discussion regarding lowing company healthcare costs. HR managers are discussing ways to lower their company healthcare costs while engaging employees. Health care is a wider topic that is being discussed across many mediums including the Society for Human Resource Management (SHRM). "Wellness is being put back on the table as a result of health care reform and attempts to reduce health care costs," (SHRM, 2011, p. 4)
I can't resist the opportunity to plug the success of a wellness incentive program! I have been very impressed recently with my wellness program clients. They always come up with new and interesting ways to encourage their employees to be healthier individuals.
I don't think all wellness incentive programs start off the same. Some come to fruition to give employees an opportunity to come together and work for a mutual goal like weight loss. Others come about to reduce health care costs at the source, the employees. Every good program starts with an idea. I see companies encouraging employees to bring a "brown bag" lunch of healthy items and participate in a group meeting regarding health and wellness. Other companies offer gym memberships at no or reduced cost. The ideas are there, but sometimes the incentives are not.
Companies that have gyms at their facilities reward employees with points for amount of time spent at the gym. Routine check-ups like mammograms and colposcopies are rewarded yearly for employees who take care of their preventative care. Other companies have had recipe forums on their incentive websites where employees can share healthy recipes they try. An important component of a wellness program is the community it creates. When a person is struggling with health issues, or simply making an effort to stay health, it helps to know your fellow co-workers are working for the same goal: Health!
One of the most talked about topics this week was reducing employee obesity. I also have companies that give weight loss challenges similar to "The Biggest Looser" with brand-name merchandise prizes. The key to this equation is the incentive. Sometimes personal weight loss is not enough, but maybe an iPod would be! Anything is possible with these incentive programs. I think many of my own clients may not even know the benefit in health care cost reduction from a wellness program.
My favorite things about these programs are how excited the participants get to earn points and select prizes. They know they are making their health a top priority and they are happy their employer has taken an interest in their longevity.

Rise up, yellow-eyed, pockmarked half-breeds, and rip one another to shreds fighting over the new Rock TV!
While I am happy with the consistency of the laughs here and the sweet sentiment, the back story of this project strongly flavors my feelings toward this video. As a church ministry, we exist to serve the needs of our congregation and our pastors, and after their experiences with recent videos like Christdome, Tax Refund Strangeness, and Small Group Fight!, their message to us was loud and clear: these things are getting weird.
Now, as you JLP readers are familiar with, I like weird. For years serving in the ministry, I restrained a lot of my weirdest impulses to try to keep the appeal as wide as possible. In the last few years, however, as our ministry has gone younger, I made an internal decision to let the younger writers run with things, acknowledging at the same time that the age of 90-second web clips has altered sensibilities for many people in that younger generation. Random gags and awkward riffs became the new normal (even, in the case of Christdome, set within a structured "message video"). Not everything worked, but a lot of it did. However, it definitely wasn't everybody's cup of tea.
So this video is a (temporary?) return to restraint and structure. It is much less tangental, much more sentimental, and features some pretty broad gags. Also, while the message of the video is about contentment, it could be categorized as a "dating video", and we've never gotten less than a great response with such projects. For whatever reason, romantic tension primes people's laughing impulse at our church.
I also think it's a well-done project with a snappy pace, a bunch of good line gags, and an ending I love. I honestly have no idea how this will be received at church, though. Part of me suspects that people will like it because it's relatable and sweet, but I truly don't know. I do know that if this one gets accused of being too weird, it's time for me to hand over the reins.
Favorite bits:
-The grape-eating marriage fantasy is my favorite gag. I remember when I was typing up the first draft, including the bit about Luke looking into the camera and announcing "This is marriage", and smiling happily to myself. Kudos to whoever thought of that during the meeting.
-I was afraid that the grapefruit explosion gag would be too problematic to shoot and too broad to end up being any good, but I was wrong. When I saw the footage set to that music (from the climax to Glory) I was happy.
-All the Welles make an appearance in the background (Alice in utero).
-Will Hines wasn't supposed to be in this one at all (he's had a ton to do with another video we're currently working on) but we needed an extra for Matt to be talking to during the "anxiety with dating" sequence so we threw him in there. He made up all the business about eating Rolos with his older cousins, and I absolutely love it. (Okay, so maybe there's some weirdness in this one.)
UPDATE: The video was received enthusiastically at church, so there you go.

Die Casting
Aluminum Die Casting
Aluminum (Al) die castings are lightweight; yet withstand the highest operating temperatures of all the die cast alloys. Its strength, rigidity, and corrosive resistance offer significant heat dissipating advantages.
Aluminum is used in a broad range of networking and infrastructure equipment in the telecom and computing industries. Aluminum castings work for this application because RF filter boxes and housings require heat dissipation. It also provides EMI shielding, rigidity and durability with minimal weight for shields and housings for handheld devices. Because of aluminum's excellent electrical performance and shielding properties, even in high-temperature environments, die casting aluminum is ideal for electronic connectors. Dynacast's proprietary Thin Wall Aluminum Technology has made aluminum die casting an option for more applications.
Aluminum die castings improve automotive fuel efficiency by contributing to weight saving requirements. Our strength is in electronic applications, such as shields for telematic equipment and sensor housings, and safety-critical occupant restraint systems such as airbag housings and seat belt retractor spools.
Aluminum alloy characteristics:
- Highest operating temperatures
- Outstanding corrosion resistance
- Light-weight
- Very good strength and hardness
- Good stiffness and strength-to-weight ratio
- Excellent EMI & RFI shielding properties
- Excellent thermal conductivity
- High electrical conductivity
- Good finishing characteristics
- Full recyclability

Before Class Starts....
Turn off cell phones and pagers and leave them in the lobby.
Only bring your towel, matt and water into the yoga room.
Please do not bring your bags or extra clothes into the yoga room. Leave them in the changing room or in the cubbies.
No gum in the yoga room.
Strong perfumes and body odors will be pronounced in a hot yoga room, so please keep your body and feet clean when attending class.
Please arrive prepared for class 10 minutes early to sign in and allow your body to adjust to the heat. Yoga is a discipline; latecomers will not be admitted–it is distracting, disrespectful to your teacher and fellow students.
If you need to leave early please tell the instructor before class.
Every class is designed for beginners.
First timers arrive 15-20 minutes before class time for personalized consultation to prepare for your first class.
Wear light, non-restrictive clothing comfortable to stretch in a room that is heated to 104-108 degrees.
Drink plenty of water and electrolytes throughout the day before coming to class. Hydration with electrolytes is very important.
Ask questions either before or after class, but not during the class.
During Class...
Do your very best to stay in the yoga room once class begins. Staying through the whole class keeps the energy of the room intact and your fellow students feel the loss of your energy when you leave the room early. If an emergency requires you to leave, please leave and re-enter between postures.
Refrain from talking in the yoga room. Many students use the time before class to quietly meditate and center themselves as they prepare for class.
You may bring bottled water into class with you — the teacher will indicate the points during class when everyone takes their water breaks.
While you may use your hand towel to dry your hands to help with your grip, please refrain from wiping away your sweat throughout the class.
Please practice stillness in the posture, but more importantly, when you're not in a posture remain still without moving. This gives your heart a break and allows for increased blood flow to recirculate throughout the body.
Honor the silence of the room by moving quietly.
Focus on only yourself in the mirror.
Do not talk during class.
As the room fills up during our most popular class times, please work together to create enough space for everyone and a good flow of energy through the room. Pulling the front row close to the front mirrors and staggering the rows behind allows more people to see the mirrors, and the feeling of being over-crowded goes away.
Follow the instructor's dialogue moving in and out of the postures together and coming out when they say, "change". Flowing together as a class allows the energy to flow better to form a more balanced class so you will have a better experience.
Whenever you are not doing a posture you are in savasana.
If you have a hard time staying still, please position yourself towards the back of the room.
After Class...
Observe silence after the final savasana — meditation.
Leave the room quietly.
Respect others.
Enjoy the peace and energy you're taking with you from class, and make up your mind to come back tomorrow!

Arnold Tell All
Lots of news over the past few days about the new new autobiography from Arnold Schwarzenegger.
He lays out exactly how he was blindsided by ex-wife Maria Shriver when she waited until he left office to set up a couples' counseling session to confront him about the child he secretly had with the couple's housekeeper.
In the book called "Total Recall," due out next week, Schwarzenegger says that it was on Jan. 4, 2011, when he and Shriver entered a therapist's office for a meeting initiated by her the day after his term as governor of California came to an end.
"The minute we sat down, the therapist turned to me and said, 'Maria wanted to come here today and to ask about a child -- whether you fathered a child with your housekeeper Mildred,'" Arnold says "I told the therapist, 'It's true.'"
Schwarzenegger says he then started groveling, telling his wife that he had "screwed up" and that she was the "perfect wife," and that he was still "turned on" by her. It didn't work, and Shriver separated from him, and later filed for divorce.
In the book, Schwarzenegger admits to hooking up with the housekeeper in 1996 in the family guest house while Shriver and their kids were away on vacation and he was in town filming "Batman and Robin."
Schwarzenegger, 65, says that for years he tried to convince himself that Baena's husband was the father of their son, Joseph. But when the boy grew up and the resemblance to Schwarzenegger was so strong, he writes, "I realized there was little doubt that he was my son."
Schwarzenegger says he kept the affair and the fact that he was Joseph's father a secret partly because he was embarrassed, and also because he didn't want to face up to his wife's family, the Kennedys.
In the book, Schwarzenegger also notes a parting shot he says Shriver, 56, took after their marriage ended. During the funeral for her father, Sargent Shriver, his now ex-wife described the respect he had for her mom.
"The way he admired her and respected her, when I think about it today, it actually takes my breath away," she said.
Schwarzenegger, who was in the audience, says that comment might have been "partly directed at me."

I repotted my 3yo Pineapple plant grown from a top and put it outside for the summer. The leaves are turning brown now and they seem to be folding in half. It's been about 3 weeks since it was repotted and moved outside. I used miracle grow potting soil. What could be the problem and how can I fix it?

Is the soil holding too much water? I usually use a much looser mix than potting soil. More perlite, turface, grit and pine bark. How much sun is it getting? tj |
- Posted by lizzyloveslancer 6 (My Page) on Tue, Jun 12, 12 at 8:05
It's in full sun and being watered daily just like it has for the last two summers outside. over watering could be the prob as it's in the "moisture lock" soil. *pic shows a brown leaf and a brown & folded leaf |
