Chipotle – Why Work For Us?
One of the many reasons why Chipotle is unlike other fast food companies is the fact that nearly all of the leaders are promoted from our crew. Many restaurant companies hire "professional" managers to run their restaurants and almost never look to their crews for new leaders. But last year at Chipotle, 97% of our general managers were promoted from our crews and because our company is growing, there's plenty of opportunity.
Countless people who came simply looking for a job now find themselves leading dozens, or even thousands of people while enjoying a career that is totally fulfilling, fun, and financially rewarding beyond anything they thought possible. It's pretty simple: If you work hard, you'll get noticed and before you know it, you'll be on a roll.
When Steve Ells started Chipotle back in 1993, he only intended to open one restaurant—not a chain of more than 1,200. Because of that, he broke all of the rules and Chipotle became a new kind of fast food restaurant. In fact, we do just about everything differently and it starts with the people we hire to work in our restaurants.
We've learned that experience in other fast food restaurants isn't of much value at Chipotle. That's because we really cook food at Chipotle. And that's just the beginning of what we do differently. Our Crew members learn what they need to do on the job and in turn, they become the future leaders of our company. It's on-the-job training like you have never had before.

I have been working at Chipotle part-time (less than a year)
ProsFrom the meals, down to the whole infrastructure of how this company works, and treats its employees, Chipotle truly knows how to provide an exceedingly better experience each and every day.
They actually keep up on your progress and want, more than ever, for you to get better and better at what you do. Their whole company culture is based off of how much better you can make the person next to you. This fuels a great deal of motivation, empowerment, and refinement in each of the awesome processes that take place while you work. In fact, knowing that teaching and working your knowledge with somebody outside of yourself is one of the best ways to cement said knowledge, I find it to be very, very wise of them to do this. It has propelled me tenfold, within the short month and a half I have put in here, so far.
The next Pro on my list would definitely have to be the fact that everyone communicates efficiently. Having a team of Top Performers means that the crew will surely take after the example of the Management in the aspect of communication, and problem solving, which they actively engage in with the team on a daily basis, during our chip talks. They do a good job of empowering us through that communication, so we may make the same type of choices in wake of any problem.
The last one I will rant about is the food. I have been in love with this place since I was 14, and now I am even more in love, knowing how it all comes together, and what it takes to run at the efficiency we do on the daily. But aside from that, being able to take part in fresh whole food, with naturally raised chicken, and No-GMO's to slow me down, is the biggest bonus of all. I am fueled, and my body reacts accordingly during my shifts. I have noticed a vast improvement in my muscle function and my energy levels since starting here.. vast..
And if that isn't enough, here is a list of a few more reason I love my job!
- Family-like and friendly crew, upper management, and corporate employees, whom also care about your progress, and well-being.
-They work with your schedule always, as long as you truly have an arrangement that needs to be met.
-They pay more than most fast food places when hired on, by almost a dollar or so.
-They have hours to give due to the deployment requirements for the line.
-2 Meals per 6+ hour shift.
-Holiday parties/events
-Guilt-Free Employer
-They make an effort to source mostly organic, Non-GMO foods, when possible, from local farmers. This helps the farming and agriculture industry a great deal in terms of family owned farms, who need this kind of business to keep them going, and extend their methods for higher yields. This would create more fresh, whole-foods for more people.

- Application Details
I applied online. The process took a week – interviewed at Chipotle.
Interview DetailsI applied online and about five days later I got an email telling me to come in for an interview. When I got there, there was about 10 other people sitting waiting for the same interview, since they do group interviews. In total there was 12 of us who showed up and they split us into groups of six. I felt like this interview was very unprofessional. The main interviewer mostly rambled on and they asked questions irrelevant to the job position, like "what would you do if I gave you a million dollars?" and "where in the world would you want to travel?" and that was it. Only those two questions, and of course the "do you have any questions for us?" They were basically looking for people who wanted to ask them a lot of questions and who have no problem talking a lot rather than people who actually have work experience. Personally, it felt very dull and boring.

When Chipotle first opened, the idea was simple: demonstrate that food served fast didn't have to be a "fast-food" experience. We only use high-quality raw ingredients, classic cooking methods and a distinctive interior design, and provide an exceptional customer experience—features more frequently found in the world of fine dining.

US 20060243911 A1 Abstract The present invention relates to apparatuses for use in performing a quantitative analysis of a turbid pharmaceutical sample, e.g. a tablet, a capsule or a similar sample forming a pharmaceutical dose. A pharmaceutical, turbid sample (24,57, 67) is irradiated with an excitation beam (20, 53, 64) of radiation, e.g. near infrared radiation. The intensity of emitted radiation (30) from the sample (24, 57, 67) is detected as function of both the wavelength of the emitted radiation and the photon propagation time through said sample (24, 57, 67). Optionally, the intensity of the emitted radiation (30) from the sample (24, 57, 67) is also detected in a spatially resolved manner.

Description The present invention relates to apparatuses for analysing a turbid pharmaceutical sample, e.g. a tablet, a capsule�especially a multiple unit pellet system (MUPS)�or a similar sample forming a pharmaceutical dose. Non-invasive, non-destructible analysis of whole tablets can be carried out by means of near-infrared (NIR) or Raman spectrometry. Today, NIR spectroscopy is a recognised technique for performing a fast analysis of compounds. The common feature of both these techniques is that they utilise light in the NIR wavelength region (700-2500 nm, specifically 700-1500 nm) where pharmaceutical tablets are relatively transparent (low molar absorptivity). That is, light can in this region penetrate compressed powders several mm:s why information in the content can be obtained emanating from the bulk of the tablet and not only from the surface. A practical advantage of using NIR radiation in that diode lasers can be used. One example of such an analysis is described in U.S. Pat. No. 5,760,399, assigned to Foss NIR systems Inc. This document discloses an instrument of performing a NIR spectrographic transmission measurement of a pharmaceutical tablet. This instrument is, however, capable of providing only limited information as to the content of a sample, typically the quantity of a particular component in a sample. This prior-art instrument cannot provide detailed information of, for example, the three-dimensional distribution of one or more components in a sample. The technical background on which this limitation is based will be further discussed in connection with the description of the present invention. The prior art also includes a significant amount of methods for optical imaging of human tissues, in particular for detecting disturbances of homogeneity, such as the presence of a tumour in human tissue. These methods are generally qualitive measurements, not quantitative, in the sense that they primarily focus on determining the presence and the location of an inhomogeneity. There prior-art methods are not suitable for performing a quantitative analysis on pharmaceutical, turbid samples, such as tablets and capsules, in order to determine e.g. content and structural parameters. According to a first aspect of the invention there is provided apparatuses for use in quantitative analysis of a turbid, pharmaceutical sample, in particular a pharmaceutical tablet or capsule of an equivalent pharmaceutical dose. According to the invention, the apparatuses comprises:
According to one embodiment to apparatus also comprises:
According to another embodiment the apparatus also comprises:
The invention is based on the following principles. A sample to be analysed by a spectrometric transmission and/or reflection measurement presents a number of so called optical properties. These optical properties are (i) the absorption coefficient, (ii) the scattering coefficient and (iii) the scattering anisotropy. Thus, when the photons of the excitation beam propagate through the turbid sample�in transmission and/or reflective mode�they are influenced by these optical properties and, as a result, subjected to both absorption and scattering. Photons that by coincidence travel along an essentially straight path through the sample and thus do not experience any appreciable scattering will exit the sample with a relatively short time delay. Photons that are directly reflected on the irradiated surface will also present a relatively short time delay, in the case of measurements on reflected light. On the other hand, highly scattered photons (transmitted and/or reflected) exit with a substantial time delay or phase difference. This means that all these emitted photons�presenting different propagation times�mediate complementary information about the sample. In a conventional steady state (no time-resolution) measurement, some of that complementary information is added together since the emitted light is captured by a time-integrated detection. Accordingly, the complementary information is lost in a conventional technique. For instance, a decrease in the registered light intensity may be caused by an increase in the sample scattering coefficient. However, the information about the actual cause is hidden, since all the emitted light has been time-integrated. According to the invention and in contrast to such prior-art NIR spectroscopy with time-integrated intensity detection, the intensity of the emitted radiation from the sample is measure both as a function of the wavelength and as a function of the photon propagation time through said sample. Thus, the inventive method can be said to be both wavelength-resolved and time-resolved. It is important to note that the method is time-resolved in the sense that it provides information about the kinetics of the radiation interaction with the sample. Thus, in this context, the term �time resolved� means �photons propagation time resolved�. In other words, the time resolution used in the invention is in a time scale which corresponds to the photon propagation time in the sample (i.e. the photon transit time from the source to the detector) and which, as a consequence, makes it possible to avoid time-integrating the information relating to different photon propagation times. As an illustrative example, the transit time for the photons may be in the order of 0,1-2 ns. Especially, the term �time resolved� is not related to a time period necessary for performing a spatial scanning, which is the case in some prior-art NIR-techniques where �time resolution� is used. As a result of not time-integrating the radiation (and thereby �hiding� a lot of information) as done in the prior art, but instead time resolving the information from the excitation of the sample in combination with wavelength resolving the information, the invention makes is possible to establish quantitative analytical parameters of the sample, such as content, concentration, structure, homogeneity, etc. Both the transmitted radiation and the reflected radiation from the irradiated sample comprise photons with different time delay. Accordingly, the time-resolved and wavelength resolved detection may be performed on transmitted radiation only, reflected radiation only, as well as a combination of transmitted and reflected radiation. The excitation beam of radiation used in the present invention may include infrared radiation, especially near infrared radiation (NIR) in the range corresponding to wavelengths of from about 700 to about 1700 nm, particularly from 700 to 1300 nm. However, the excitation beam of radiation may also include visible light (400 to 700 nm) and UV radiation. In this connection, it should also be stated that the term �excitation� should be interpreted as �illumination�, i.e. no chemical excitation of the sample is necessary. Preferably, the step of measuring the intensity as a function of photon propagation time is performed in time-synchronism with the excitation of the sample. In a first preferred embodiment, this time synchronism is implemented by using a pulsed excitation beam, presenting a pulse train of short excitation pulses, wherein each excitation pulse triggers the intensity measurement. To this end, a pulsed laser system or laser diodes can be used. This technique makes it possible to perform a photon propagation time-resolved measurement of the emitted intensity (transmitted and/or reflected) for each given excitation pulse, during the time period up to the subsequent excitation pulse. In order to avoid any undesired interference between intensity measurements relating to two subsequent pulses, such excitation pulses should have a pulse length short enough in relation to the photon propagation time in the sample and, preferably, much shorter than the photon propagation time. To summarise, in this embodiment of the invention the intensity detection of the emitted radiation associated with a given excitation pulse is time-synchronised with this pulse, and the detection of the emitted light from one pulse is completed before next pulse. The data evaluation can be done in different ways. By defining the boundary conditions and the optical geometry of the set-up, iterative methods such as a Monte Carlo simulations can be utilised to calculate the optical properties of the sample and indirectly content and structural parameters. In multivariate calibration, measured data is utilised to establish an empirical mathematical relationship to the analytical parameter of interest, such as the content or structure of a pharmaceutical substance. When new measurements are performed, the model can be used to predict the analytical parameters of the unknown sample. In an alternative embodiment the radiation source is intensity modulated in time. Then, frequency domain spectroscopy can be used for determining phase shift and/or modulation depth of the emitted radiation from the sample. Thus, the phase and/or modulation depth of the emitted sample radiation is compared with those of the excitation radiation. That information can be used to extract information about the time delay of the radiation in the sample. Moreover, the emitted radiation can be measured for a multitude of wavelengths to obtain spectral information. It should be noted that the above mentioned frequency domain spectroscopy is also a �time-resolved� technique according to the invention, since it also provides information about the kinetics of the photon interaction with the sample. With similar mathematical procedures as above, the same quantitative analytical information can be extracted. A pulsed excitation beam according to the first embodiment, and an intensity modulated excitation beam according to the second embodiment, share the common feature that they make it possible to identify�in said excitation beam�a specific �excitation time point� which can be used to trigger the detection of the emitted radiation from the sample, i.e. to time-synchronise the time-resolved detection with the excitation of the sample. This can be performed by letting the pulsed or modulated beam trigger a photodetector or the equivalent, which in its turn triggers the detection unit via suitable time-control circuitry. The time detection may be implemented by the use of a time-resolved detector, such as a streak camera. It may also be implemented by the use of a time-gated system, by which the detection of emitted radiation is performed during a limited number of very short time slices instead of the full time course. The time length of each such time slice is only a fraction of the detection time period during which the time resolved detection is performed for each excitation. By measuring several such �time slices� a coarse time resolution is achieved. An attractive alternative is to measure wavelength resolved spectra at two such time gates, prompt light and delayed light. Furthermore, time-resolved data may be recorded by means of other time-resolved equipment, transient digitizers or equivalent. In a further embodiment a Fourier transform detector is used, whereby a mirror is scanned back and forth producing an interferogram. The interferogram will contain information about the light transmitted through the sample at all wavelengths. Since an interferogram is used, all wavelengths are monitored simultaneously. The result will be a spectrum of the tranmitted light. The light source is intensity modulated with a modulation driver at high frequency (MHz-GHz). The phase and the modulation depth of the detected signal and the modulation driver are compared and used as output signals. These will provide information about the time behavious of the photon propagation through the sample. If the scanning speed of the moving mirror of the Fourier spectrometer is much slower than the light modulation frequency, a value for the phase difference and the modulation depth is obtained for each position of the moving mirror. Thus, the phase difference and the modulation depth are measured by a scan in the Fourier space and not a scan in the wavelength domain. Information about physically relevant parameters, such as contents or particle size, of the sample can be extracted by deconvolution techniques and chemometric models. A multitude of modulation frequencies can be utilised for more accurate analysis. In yet further embodiment intensity modulated light is directed onto a sample. The transmitted or diffusely reflected light is detected by a fast detector and a second detector detects the light before irradiating the sample. The signals from the two detectors are compared regarding the phase difference and modulation depth. These two values are registered for each wavelength in sequence and from these values information about, for example, contents can be extracted with deconvolution techniques and chemometric models. The wavelength resolved detection may be implemented in many different, conventional ways. It may be implemented by the use of a multi-channel detector, such as microchannel plate or a streak camera. Use can be made of light dispersive systems, such as (i) a spectrometer, (ii) a wavelength dependent beam splitter, (iii) a non-wavelength dependent beam splitter is combination with a plurality of filters for filtering each of respective components for providing radiation of different wavelength or wavelength band, (iv) a prism array or a lens system separating the emitted radiation from the sample into a plurality of components in combination with a plurality of filters, etc. The above and other features and advantages of the invention are defined in the claims and described in greater detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings, which illustrate preferred embodiments. Referring now to A sample to be analysed is schematically illustrated at reference numeral 24 and comprises a front surface 26 and a back surface 28. The sample 24 is temporarily fixed in a sample-positioning unit (not shown). The excitation laser beam 20 is focused onto the front surface 26 of sample 24 via a lens system L2/L3 and mirrors M2-M4. On the opposite side of sample 24, the transmitted laser beam 30 is collected from the backside by lens system L4/L5 and focused into spectrometer 32. In the illustrated set-up, the sample 24 may be a pharmaceutical, solid tablet having a diameter of e.g. 9 mm. The excitation beam 20 may be focused in a spot of about 1 mm. In other embodiments, the excitation beam may be focused on the whole sample, or scanned over the sample. In an alternative embodiment the apparatus is attached to for example a fluidised bed for remote sampling of a selected part of the contents in the bed. As schematically illustrated in From the spectrometer 32, the detected light beam 33 is passed via lens system L6/L7 to a time-resolved detection unit, which in this embodiment is implemented as a streak camera 34. The streak camera 34 used in an experimental set-up according to The incident photons at the slit are converted by the streak camera into photoelectrons and accelerated in a path between pairs of deflection plates (not shown). Thereby, the photo electrons are swept along an axis onto a microchannel plate inside the camera, such that the time axis of the incident photons is converted into a spatial axis on said microbannel plate. Thereby, the time in which the photons reached the streak camera and intensity can be determined by the position and the luminance of the streak image. The wavelength-resolution is obtained along the other axis. The photoelectron image is read out by a CCD device 36, which is optically coupled to the streak camera 34. The data collected by the CCD device 36 is coupled to an analysing unit 38, schematically illustrated as a computer and a monitor. In the set-up in As mentioned above, the evaluation and analysis of the collected, time-resolved information can be done in different ways. As schematically illustrated in In the embodiment shown in The water filled cuvette 22 producing white laser light in combination with the spectrometer 32 acting as a wavelength-dispersive element makes it possible to collect data that is both wavelength-resolved and time-resolved. The 3D plot in In As illustrated by the dased lines t1 and t2 in The intensity-time diagram in As an alternative to the set-ups illustrated in It it possible to combine the invention with spatial-resolved intensity detection on the emitted light from the sample. In this context, the term �spatial resolved� refers to a spatial resolution based on a scanning in time of the excitation beam in relation to the sample. As an illustrative example, by removing the water cuvette 22 and the spectrometer 32 in the A further alternative set-up is illustrated in A further alternative set-up of the present invention is illustrated in In either of the above embodiments the measurements can be carried out by remote sampling, i.e. the sample does not have to be positioned in specific means. Therefore, the apparatuses can be placed to measure the contents in a turbid, pharmaceutical sample flow and not only in a specifically selected sample, e.g. a tablet or a capsule. The foregoing is a disclosure of preferred embodiments of practicing the present invention. However, it is apparent that device incorporating modifications and variations will be obvious to one skilled in the are. Inasmuch as the foregoing is a disclosure is intended to enable one skilled in the are to practice the instant invention, it should not be contrued to be limited thereby, but should be contrued to include such modifications and variaions as fall within its true spirit and scope.

I bought this for use with the planer jig. The stripps would be a little better is they were wider for my blades. I found that the paper wore out pretty quickly and I then resorted to using normal sandpaper which I just set on top of this product. This product helps keep the normal sand paper form moving so it is all good. The other thing I think could be improved is that 400 grit is not quite high enough for my tastes. I worked up to 2000 grit and got great results. I think 600 would be best for most people. I would recommend this product the first time using the jig, but I think I would later use other paper so I can get to a higher grit.

Pakistani police have detained another man on suspicion of having links with Pakistani- American terror suspect Faisal Shahzad, who allegedly tried to set off a car bomb in Times Square in New York, from a market in the heart of the federal capital.
Over two dozen policemen, some in civilian clothes, raided the posh Kohsar Market on Friday night and took the man into custody, officials and a witness were quoted as saying by the Dawn newspaper today.
The man put up some resistance, which led to an exchange of harsh words. He was handcuffed and taken in a vehicle to an undisclosed place.
Before the raid, police cordoned off the Sector F-6/3 area, which has several embassies and residences of diplomats.
According to witnesses, the man in his mid-30s came to the market at about 7 pm local time and sat in an open area.
He remained busy with his mobile phone, calling or sending messages, before the raid at about 10:30 pm, they said.
A police official denied that any arrest had been made from Kohsar Market but said that security in and around Sector F-6/3 was tightened on Friday night and police carried out snap checking.
Officials told the newspaper that the arrested man, who is yet to be identified, might be among some people picked up by an intelligence agency for alleged links with Faisal Shahzad, the son of a former Pakistan Air Force officer who has been held in the US in connection with the failed May 1 attack in Times Square.
Media reports have said that the ISI is conducting the investigation into Shahzad's links and contacts in Pakistan.
There has been no official word on this issue.
Seven men have either been picked up or gone missing since May 10 in Islamabad, including Suleman Ashraf, the son of the owner of 'Hanif Rajput Catering Service', and Ahmed Raza Khan.
It is believed all these men have been detained by intelligence operatives for alleged links with Shahzad.
Ashraf allegedly provided financial help to Shahzad when he was studying at the University of Houston.
35-year-old Ashraf returned to Pakistan from the US in 2001 after getting a bachelor's degree in computer science.
He was last seen by his family when he left for his office at about 11 am on May 10.
Faheem Khan, a cousin of Ashraf, said he was a liberal person who regularly offered prayers and was fond of music and movies.
He said that since his return to Pakistan, Ashraf had not visited the US or any European country. Ashraf also did not travel to Khyber Pakhtoonkhwa or any tribal area.
Khan said a case was registered against unidentified persons by police after his cousin went missing.
Ashraf's wife also lodged a complaint on May 19 with the Supreme Court's Human Right Cell about his disappearance, he said.
Ashraf's father has said his son had no relations with Shahzad.
The US embassy in Pakistan has issued a warning to US government personnel and American citizens about terrorist groups forging links with the Hanif Rajput Catering Service.
However, unnamed security officials have been quoted in media reports as saying that Shahzad lived in Ashraf's house in Islamabad for some time.
Norwegian mobile operator Telenor has said one of its employees in Pakistan had been detained by authorities over the bomb plot.

UPDATE: Morgan Stanley Reiterates On PepsiCo Following Disappointing But Conservative 2014 Guidance
In a report published Friday, Morgan Stanley analyst Dara Mohsenian reiterated an Overweight rating on PepsiCo (NYSE: PEP), but removed the $95.00 price target.
In the report, Morgan Stanley noted, "PEP adj. 4Q EPS of $1.05 was above MS/consensus at $1.00/$1.01, but more than all of the upside was below the profit line, with operating profit 3% below consensus. Organic sales growth of +4.1% was solid in a tough environment, but operating profit was 3% below consensus on +75 bps of higher SG&A as a % of sales, partially offset by 35 bps of GM upside vs. consensus."
PepsiCo closed on Friday at $79.69.

Senior OF Chelsea O'Connor |
April 5, 2014
Gamd 1 Stats | Game 2 Stats | Photo Gallery
FORT COLLINS, Colo. - The Colorado State softball team ran its win streak to six straight, and improved to 21-9 overall on the season with a Saturday sweep of a double header against the UTEP Miners at Ram Field.
The Rams' offense exploded for 21 runs in the two contests, while CSU pitchers Holly Reinke and Molly Randle held the Miners (12-26) to just five combined hits in 12 innings on the day.
CSU returns to the diamond Sunday, for the series finale vs. UTEP. First pitch for Game 3 between the Rams and the Miners is set for 12 noon.
Game 1: Colorado State 14, UTEP 0
The Rams scored early and often throughout the day, but it was a five-run first inning to start Game 1 that set the tone for the rest of the afternoon, as the Rams opened the three-game series with a convincing 14-0 win in five innings.
"We've just been working really hard on driving stuff up the middle, so that first inning of the first game it was so great to get a lead," said head coach Jen Fisher. "As much as we need to be able to win the close games, it helps Holly and Molly when they have a lead. They can be a little more aggressive, and take more risks. So, I was really happy with the way the offense jumped on the board, and then we were able to get a couple of other people some opportunities which is really nice."
Chelsea O'Connor and Danielle Wikre each went 2-for-4 with two runs scored in Game 1, including back-to-back home runs in CSU's four-run second inning. O'Connor's blast to left field accounted for three of her four RBIs on the afternoon, while Wikre, who drove in two in the game, followed with a solo shot to center.
Leadoff hitter Haley Hutton reached safely in all three plate appearances, drawing two walks and notching a double to left in the third. She crossed the plate three times in the contest, the last on Shae Rodriguez's two-RBI double in the third. Rodriguez drove in three in the contest, while also notching two runs and a walk.
Holly Reinke improved to 11-4 this season with a complete-game effort in the circle. She allowed just one Miners hit, and gave up one walk, while fanning one batter and letting her defense work behind her in 5.0 innings of work.
Game 2: Colorado State 7, UTEP 2
In the second game of Saturday's double header, it was more of the same from the Rams' offense, as four different players recorded multiple hits in the contest, and CSU jumped out to a 5-0 lead to cruise to the 7-2 victory.
Haley Hutton, once again, set the table for the Rams throughout the contest. She opened the game with a leadoff walk, one of her three free passes in Game 2, and scored on a one-out double to left center by Chelsea O'Connor. After going 2-for-4 with two runs and four RBI in Game 1, O'Connor continued her tear from the plate with another 2-for-4 performance in Game 2. She added two more runs and one more RBI in the second game.
Danielle Wikre and Chelsea Biglow also went 2-for-4 at the plate in Game 2. Wikre added two RBIs, plating O'Connor in the first and Haley David in the sixth. Biglow's RBI double down the right field line in the third drove in O'Connor, and she scored two batters later on a sacrifice fly by Alysa Greckel.
David, who was 1-for-1 from the plate with a run scored after entering Game 1 as a defensive substitution in the fourth, continued her impressive play in Game 2, going 2-for-3 in the second tilt while also reaching on an error. Her bunt single to the pitcher in the sixth inning led to the Rams' final run of the game in a Wikre single up the middle.
"Haley has been working so hard, and she's such a threat, so it was really exciting to see her get on three times in that game," added Fisher.
Molly Randle improved to 4-1 in the circle, allowing just four hits and two runs in 7 innings of work. She walked three batters, and struck out five, including three strikeouts in the top of the seventh to close out the victory.

Celebrity Nails & Spa's experienced practitioner and aesthetician holistically rejuvenates bodies with relaxing massages and tends to damaged skin with customized facials. Over the course of a one-hour massage, firm kneads and soothing strokes target sore spots to alleviate aches and pains from playing hide-and-seek in office air ducts. The spa's quiet, calming environment promotes deep relaxation as tightly wound knots loosen their grip on neck and shoulder muscles. A pampering facial fulfills skin's lengthy wish list with deep cleansers and mild peels tailored to individual conditions. This rejuvenating treatment softens the appearance of furrows and creases with a hydrating deluge of skincare products designed to overcome such conditions as sun damage, acne, and age spots.
Studio Luxe doesn't believe hair should be cut; it should be sculpted. That's why its stylists employ the Sahag method of styling, also known as dry-cutting. The brainchild of prominent stylist John Sahag, dry-cutting allows for the client's hair to fall at its own discretion, without the manipulative tactics of water or aggressive switchblade combs. It also invites clients to candidly remark about the work in progress for the mutual benefit of both stylee and stylist. Studio Luxe Salon also specializes in Joico hair coloring, hair waxing, and nail renovation with long-lasting gel Shellac polish.
The outside world seems to slip away once a person drops into one of Nail Lounge's cushy mani-pedi chairs. Here, clients relax while nail techs trim, buff, massage, and moisturize. They then finish things off with acrylic nails or gel polish. The beauty experts do occasionally focus on areas beyond fingers and toes, as they administer NovaLash eyelash extensions that eschew the need for mascara.
Relaxing music, a beverage bar, and walls painted in soothing tones jostle for the attention of clients as they walk through the doors of Sassi Nails Salon. At a pedicure or manicure workstation, technicians render nail treatments including shellac manicures, spa pedicures, and polish changes. The Sassi team pays particular attention to sanitization, holding themselves to the strict standards of the Ohio State board and the world's most scrupulous mother-in-law—Harry Potter's aunt, who they actually have on staff.
The hairstyling industry is always developing new techniques, which is why stylist Drea Campbell finds it so important to stay up to speed with continuing-education courses. At Situation Hair & Nail Salon, she bestows her clients with flattering looks with a vast array of services, including cuts, quick weaves, keratin treatments, and colorings. She also extends her salon savvy south of the hairline with eyebrow waxes, makeup applications, and mani-pedis.
The stylists at Always Perfection can address the beauty needs of pretty much any client. Snipping the strands of men, women, and children, they can also enhance 'dos with color, highlights, and other professional treatments. For hands and feet in need of extra care, mani-pedis can include a skin-softening paraffin-wax dip or long-lasting Shellac polish. Waxes whisk away unwanted hair from the face, body, or phantom limb.

Lady Gaga in March 2011 Vogue Photos
Alexander McQueen Once Grabbed Lady Gaga's Breasts Because He Thought They Resembled Isabella Blow's
>> Lady Gaga appears on Vogue's March 2011 cover — photographed by Mario Testino — wearing Haider Ackermann; inside, she sports Alexander McQueen, Louis Vuitton, Hussein Chalayan, and more Haider Ackermann. But as much as she loves her McQueen, she is also known for supporting unheard-of designers, and she notes: "I pay for a lot of fashion myself because I want to support young designers."
It's all about returning the love to her early adopters, she says: "The fashion community in general got me much earlier than everyone else. But actually, I felt truly embraced by this London cultural movement, that McQueen, Isabella [Blow], Daphne Guinness wing of the English crowd. I remember when I first started doing photo shoots, people would say, 'My God, you look so much like Isabella Blow, it scares me.' And McQueen used to say, 'Oh, my God, your boobs!' He actually grabbed both of them and said, 'Even your boobs are like hers!'"

Gamestop caused this. (358 comments)
People *used* to primarily treat good games like books, after you read it, on the shelf it goes. Sure you might not read it again anytime soon, but knowing you have the option is comforting.
With more and more "casual" gamers buying more and more "awful but severely marketed" titles that offer no lasting replay value, the idea of a "long-term rental" utilizing GameStop as a middle-man, means EA can sell the downloadable content to 5 or 10 different people per disc instead of just 1! Burn-out Paradise is a prime example of this. Sure you can snag the disc for $15-$20 at your local used disc dealer, but after you install and update the game, you'll discover huge sections of the world closed to you (and cars unattainable) until you fork over $20 here and there for download-able expansions!
Even better, if you buy all these trinkets and ever lose the disc/sell the game then EA still has a bunch of your money for bits you can no longer use, and the chance to sell them all over again to someone else!
Re:How does the home user back this up? (227 comments)
Build an identical one and keep it far enough away that you need to feel safe? Ideally at least a few blocks away, sync them over a short-haul wireless link. (encrypted of course!) and take the same precautions as you would with anything else?
Oh yeah don't do a flat fire store, make it a SVN repository of course.
Re:And even cheaper (227 comments)
I did someting some years ago with 200GB (and later 500GB) drives:
10 drives in a chieftec Big tower. 6 drives go into the two internal drive cases, 4 go into a 4-for-3 mounting with a 120mm fan. Controller: 2 SATA on board and 2 x Promise 4 port SATA conroller 300 TX4 (a lot cheaper than Arcea and kernel native support). Put Linux software RAID 6 on the drives, spare 1 GB or so per drive for RAID1 (n-way) system. Done.
I say you've got it close, except use ZFS instead. Solaris on x86 isn't that bad, especially if you don't plan on doing anything else with the hardware beyond file-serving duties!

The executive director of the Maryland Health Benefit Exchange resigned Friday.
The chairman of the board of the Maryland Health Benefit Exchange, Joshua Sharfstein, said Rebecca Pearce worked tirelessly and with dedication for two years to build the Maryland Health Connection.
Carolyn Quattrocki was named to serve as interim director of the exchange.
State officials told WBAL-TV earlier in the week that Pearce was vacationing in the Cayman Islands last week despite continuing problems for people trying to buy insurance under the Affordable Care Act and was unavailable as legislators grilled state officials for a fix.
