Spontaneous intrigue spices up tiresome routine
There is a bit of Oregon Trail here, maybe some Law of the West. This dystopian document thriller is occasionally thrilling, but almost always engaging. Lucas Pope's Papers, Please has an intense focus we don't often see anymore. It buds with simplicity and flowers into a perpetually tedious mess.
Set in a parallel 1980s, its fictional world brings to mind the Berlin Wall, the Cold War and the Soviet Union. You are an inspector running a checkpoint between the two formerly war torn nations of Arstotzka and Kolechia. You will meet diplomats, refugees, reporters, drug dealers, prostitutes, killers, alongside the more everyday folk. You decide who is allowed in and who is not. Terrorism, espionage, disease and the effects of war ravage the world around and within communist Arstotkza. Touching on several themes, some in timely fashion, a lot of the thematic elements aren't stressed by the experience, abundant as they may be.
Every day starts the same, with a look at the headlines, providing an idea of what to expect for the coming workday or the consequences of a previous one. Every day ends with a choice to distribute limited savings on food, rent, heat and medicine. Like sifting through the paperwork in the in between, it's all routine, yet at the same time, it's anything but.
Each day brings a new challenge. A terrorist attack today means, "random" searches tomorrow. There's always one more thing to remember and another to forget. It becomes easy to fixate on the new thing and easier still to gloss over those finer details.
It's all quite simple, checking expiration dates, glancing at a photo, checking the gender, cross referencing names, cross referencing identification numbers, examining the weight and height, all followed by a red or green stamp. With more as simple things that need checking and double checking come tomorrow, these simple tasks accumulate into one big hassle. When your pay is a commission based on how many people you get through, and you only have so much time, you're in a constant rush to get to the next person. You have mouths to feed, you couldn't afford heat last night, and the rent just went up. Oh, and your son is sick.
You might have to make sacrifices or get in bed with shady people to keep enough money in your savings, but you only get to make so many mistakes each day before you start getting penalized. Earlier mistakes might mean you can't risk offering more leniencies when you otherwise might have. Perhaps, in a moment of intrigue, guided by some moral compass, you might overlook a certain discrepancy in the paperwork. Perhaps your moral compass indicates no exceptions. Either way, to grant or deny entry to every single person who enters your booth is a choice you have to make. You don't have to care about any of it, but because of your position, the encounters feel natural, making even minor characters compelling.
Some refugee might be especially rude. Do you tell them to shove it, even though their paperwork is in order? Someone might insist that the mistake on her passport is just a typo. Maybe some guy is smuggling some sort of contraband and offers you a taste in exchange for a green stamp, or maybe he's just trying to get medicine to his kid.
What makes these kinds of decisions more significant is Papers, Please's thorough concentration on the drudging monotony of paper pushing. That even the slightest deviation turns the apathetic shuffling of papers into an empathetic exercise of principle. It isn't necessarily fun, but that only works in its favor.

The Battle for the Negative Factor
Legislative battles over contentious issues are by their nature long and uncertain in their outcome, often to the very last minute. This year's Battle for the Negative Factor was as contentious as any fight we have had at the legislature —and not one that is likely to endanytime soon.
This year's Battle for the Negative Factor was as contentious as any fight we have had at the legislature — and not one that is likely to end anytime soon. |
This ongoing education funding crisis made it clearly evident what CASB should focus its efforts on this year: uniting school board voices in the battle to erase the negative factor. An across-the-state campaign launched in December, with CASB's Delegate Assembly and Board of Directors adopting resolutions making restoration of the negative factor our highest priority.
We knew we had our work cut out for us. Not only did the legislative session start with no money allotted for the negative factor buy down, we also learned many legislators didn't know what the negative factor was. Several legislators told us our resolution fell on deaf ears.
It wasn't long, however, before the negative factor became the hottest issue under the gold dome and in the news. Armed with a collection of CASB resources —Individualized Lobbying Plans, talking points, one-pagers and sample resolutions— school board members began educating legislators about how deeply the cuts in school finance have affected their students, families and schools, and the importance of increased funding for schools.
They shared stories about the sacrifices their districts have made: how many programs have been cut, how many years have passed without raises and the irreplaceable teachers lost. Our members made calls and sent letters and emails to their communities, legislators and local newspapers. More than 50 school districts adopted resolutions calling upon the legislature to eliminate the negative factor and restore education funds.
School board members also showed up in droves for our Days at the Capitol events, and they were well prepared, fired up and ready to lobby. Last year, many members didn't have relationships with their legislators and were unfamiliar with the goings-on at the capitol, so they cautiously dipped a toe into the legislative pool. This year, however, our members dove head first into the deep end— exploring on their own, knocking on legislators' doors and signing up to testify. The intensified school board presence at the capitol did not go unnoticed. One legislator quipped in a hearing that every day seemed to be CASB's Day at the Capitol.
And, just in case legislators didn't get the message through in-person lobbying, emails and phone calls, CASB demonstrated its conviction through a ditty. The now viral and surprisingly catchy negative factor song made its debut at our Winter Legislative Conference. Chorus: Take that Negative Factor, make it go away! Come on put that billion back, do it with no strings attached. Take that Negative Factor make it go away.
When the gavel banged down ending this session, the negative factor payback had gone from zero to $110 million. This is well short of our goal even for the first year, but it is real progress. And, much of this success must be credited to our members. Looking ahead, we are committed to more funding, fewer mandates and the hard work it will take to accomplish those goals.

Product Manuals & Documentation
Seachem Marine Trace™ supplies a broad range of trace elements demonstrated to be necessary for proper fish health and growth. Unlike terrestrial animals, fish obtain nutrients from both their food and environment. Trace elements are normally depleted by utilization, oxidation and precipitation, thus it is important to restore them on a regular basis. Marine Trace™ contains only those elements actually demonstrated to be required by fish.
Directions: Use 5ml (1 capful) for every 20 gallons once or twice a week.

Aviate is cardsy and smart, with profiles and auto app categorisation. I will, however, be sticking to Nova, because customisation(!). Need me some of that sweet customisation, so Aviate isn't for me. If you're looking for a really smart, informative launcher, you might fall in love with it.

Great context aware launcher. Automatically categorizes your apps and brings up relevant information depending on your location. So far it's invite only, but invites are all over the net at the moment.

One of the best launcher i have used.. its card style and minimal.. auto categorisation of apps , automatically changes your widgets etc according to toe location. So if you are at home you can have a diffrent setup than the setup when you are at office..

Shows suggested apps if you tap on the little lightbulb things.
Reviewed in Launcher (homescreen-replacements)
A launcher by ex-googlers. Not very customizable, but it's quite a Google experience. I like the day/night automated homescreen switch but I hate that they tell you what you should download to fill your categories.
Reviewed in Animated!
A homescreen replacement that looks similar to Google Now. It "intelligently" changes throughout the day. As you slide around animations are simple and perfectly smooth, with some nice fading effects. Bugs to be expected as it's in alpha.
Reviewed in Watchlist
Aviate is your cloud assisted home screen replacement. It curates your current apps in suitable categories. It provides relevant data based on your location and time. However, it is slow and occasionally non-responsive.
Reviewed in Best free apps without obstrusive ads
Android never had any lack of launcher, too. But this launcher is worth the try because what it lacks in customization, it makes up with sleek interface that can adapt based on time and location. Still lacking many features, but hey, that's what beta is all about.

Oh, and guy asking for the raw...go play with a nail gun.
Yes it was, but I think that's a problem in itself (Kurono leaving) seeing as he kinda dug himself in a hole with the story. How can he keep it up without making it lame? Kurono leaving Gantz makes for so many possibilities and eventualities how do you pick the right one? I'm probably thinking about it too much though. Seeing as it hasn't been long since Kurono left we'll just have to see what happens.Originally Posted by coolerimmortal
He can't, clearly.Originally Posted by Elcura
Kurono leaving GANTZ was the only thing that gained my interest. I'm glad that the author decided to take some chances instead of push out chapter after chapter of predictable events until Kurono and the gang battled it out with the vampires until it came to its incredibly unsatisfying conclusion.
The twist was bullshit designed to temporarily extend a series that will be ending soon. It was a pathetic attempt to grab more money. I'm all for plot twists but this one was simply ridiculous; an obvious ploy. Plot twists should improve series, not destroy them!Originally Posted by The Vinny Mac
Cooler, there is plenty of room for him to explore. Look at whats going on around outside of Gantz. There is so much room for character developments outside of Kurono. The breaks boggle the mind. Moreover, for all of those that bitch about how long it takes to make a manga. I'd believe that if we were talking about berserk where the author painstakingly draws every itty bitty detail. However, aside from the people all the backgrounds are made on a computer. That only leaves design and writing as for the major tasks.Originally Posted by coolerimmortal
I'm going with he's got a sick mom or something.
or he's just a lazy fuck.
I wish he would hurry his ass up. the manga is predictable as it is. i'm just waiting for the end, but with all his breaks in between it makes the wait twice as long.
heres another gammer error: Did he done that on purpose?[/quote]
It is grammar you dumbass. If you are going to make a snide comment on someone's spelling or "gammer" make sure you don't sound like a complete idiot yourself. You look like more of a moron than the other guy.
When Yukito Kishiro was trying to wrap up the Battle Angel Alita (or Gunm, depending on where you live) story the quality of his work began to slip because he was dealing with a lot of health issues and had to rush through a lot of it. Unfortunately this lead to an extremely disatifying conclusion to the story in both his eyes and that of the fans. Years later when his health had improved he decided to go back to the beginning of the end and tell the story he originally wanted to tell. He's kept some elements from the original ending, but all in all he's taken Alita and the readers in a completely different direction this time and the stories he's coming up with now are awesome.
I like this latest twist, because even though Kurono is no longer in the game I am still rooting for him. We all now he will return to gantz, the question is how will he do it, what will he gain, and what will he lose in the process?
100% SupportOriginally Posted by coolerimmortal
I mean, until now, there'd only been hard core action and really twisted situations that we enjoyed very much, but now, what the hell is happening, Kurono revives, Oku is only working the part to get kurono back to gantz by returning his memory along with Tae, and taking too many fucking long breaks.
I thank God that Gantz is not the only manga i'm interested in, like many other around here

Rodney Hazard x Raisin Brand - Eyes
Artist: Rodney Hazard x Raisin Brand
Producer: Hazardous Raisins
Album: HZRDS RSNS
Avg Rating: 3.7 ( 7 votes )
We have all been involved in a debate or two over the years, on the current status of New York's hip hop scene. Some artists have drifted from the legendary east coast sound and have become household names (i.e. A$AP Rocky, Nicki Minaj), but on the contrary artists like Joey BadA$$ and Action Bronson have embraced the city and are well on their way to stardom. Rightfully so, rap duo Hazardous Raisins (producer/emcee Rodney Hazard and emcee Raisin Brand) has chosen to uphold the traditional NY rap torch with the lyrically savvy Eyes. The duo-produced record sets the tone for both emcees, who both spit about slowly changing from their initial selves. The group's first "official" single GimmieThis is set for release March 6, followed shortly thereafter by their album, HZRDS RSNS. Be sure to check back with The DJBooth in the weeks to come for additional updates.

The Pros & Cons of Living On and Off Campus
There are many pros and cons to living both on and off-campus.
The website ecampustours.com lists three pros and cons for on-campus and off-campus living. The pros for on-campus living are accessibility to the school, increased social life and simplicity. The cons are little privacy, limited space and the possibility for a low GPA.
Tina Fuchs, Dean of Students and Judicial Affairs agrees that the simplicity is one of the best reasons to live on campus.
"As far as bills go, you have to worry very little when living on campus," said Fuchs. "You pay one bill at the beginning of the term and do not have to worry about monthly internet, electric or water bills. You don't have to clean as much either, nearly every resident hall has either daily or weekly custodians come through."
"Students living on campus also have more access to the school and save gas by not having to drive to campus," said Fuchs.
Little privacy and limited space can usually go hand in hand. When sharing a room with another student there is little privacy and less space for each person's possessions .
The pros for living off-campus listed by ecampustours.com are independence, privacy and sense of responsibility. The cons listed for off-campus living can be more expensive, transportation and the feeling of isolation.
Off-campus student and member of the Monmouth-Independence Tenants' Union, Jesse Alexander agrees.
"You have more privacy and freedom while living off-campus because there aren't [resident assistants] constantly walking around and acting like your mother," said Alexander. "I can play video games and have friends over later in the night and not have to worry about noise."
"One who lives off-campus will have more freedoms," said Fuchs."This is because our goal is to provide an environment where people can sleep and study effectively."
Possibly one of the more heavily weighed factors when deciding to live off-campus or on is the cost.
Fuchs claims that the cost of living on vs. off campus is not that much different when all costs are considered. Her office has done research into the costs of living on campus that shows that both are comparable.
For example, if two students were living in a 2-bedroom apartment with rent at $675 a month and included all of the extras (electric, water, sewer, gas, telephone, cable TV) it could potentially cost the student $8356.30 for the academic year according to research done by University Residences.
The on-campus equivalent for the same two students would cost $7075.00 for the academic year with everything included.
However, Fuchs did mention that prices for off-campus students could get cheaper depending on the extras they choose to pay for and if they share rooms in their apartments or houses.
Alexander feels it is much cheaper to live off-campus.
"After calculating what I paid my freshman year to what I am paying now, I am saving over $100 a month," said Alexander.
The cheapest place to live on campus is in Arbor Park, where it costs each person $5,534 per year according to proposed 2008-2009 room and board fees. This does not include a meal plan, but students have a full kitchen at their disposal and cable and internet are included.
If a student were to stay in Arbor Park for an entire school year (approx. nine months) it would cost the student roughly $614 a month. Depending on where a student decides to live during the year, there are cheaper options.
Take Wolfpack Village for example, where a two-bedroom apartment can be had for $495 a month (about $250 a month per student), which includes cable, water, sewer and garbage. This price does not include all of the benefits of living on campus (greater security, entertainment programs, fitness center), but does show that there are cheaper options available to students. •

--- PURCHASE ABC WORKSHEETS HERE--- Over 200 printable pdf's. You will need these assortment of resources for the learning to read and write program. This program starts from the links to the right of the page. "Deluxe ABC's". Includes colour alphabet letter printables, black and white alphabet letter printables, numbers, tracing and writing words, and a bonus story titled 'Lunchtales'. This online guide is the full Deluxe ABC's program, at such a low price everyone can afford to buy this resource and it helps us provide you more relevent teaching tools so please encourage others to purchase this product, doing so helps us to help you.
Why is it here!
The author of this resource has spent $1000's on educational resource
materials. Many of these now sit idle in boxes in the shed gathering dust,
mildew and mice droppings. Whether the mice are learning anything is doubtful
but they certainly enjoy using the books as a mice-nursery and
exposing their little ones to all this educated material. There is no end to
the writing of books and no end to how many resources you can buy.
This resource will save you lots of money in comparison to other ABC curriculums,
especially if you have several young students to teach.
Our high standard
This Deluxe ABC's kit is different than the usual syllabus. Cursive letter writing is
introduced immediately which is in stark contrast to the basic 'printed'
letters. If you feel up to the challenge and you believe your student is
capable of attaining the high standard set out in the Deluxe ABC's then go
for it. With your patience, perseverance and your daily enthusiastic input,
your young student will achieve the goals you set out for him or her. If you feel
that the cursive letters are to difficult or inappropriate for your student
print the 'alternative letter' instead.
Who is it for?
The deluxe ABC's kit was written for 4½ - 6½ year old children. It can
be used as a stand-alone teaching tool in schools or for those who wish to teach their
child to read and write at home. It is also ideal as a supplementary resource for students
who are not coping well in the education system or for those who would like
more advanced tutoring materials.
How long will it take?
It is not how fast you complete the lessons, it is how well you have
taught your student the letter sounds and letter formation. It is important
to show your student how each letter is formed when he or she starts writing
Letter formations are
shown in this tutorial with the aid of a chart. The duration of this course completely depends upon each
individual. As a rough guide, your student should have mastered all letters,
letter sounds, numbers 1 - 10 and basic words within 6 months. Don't worry
though if they take longer, it is better to take longer and achieve
excellent results than to rush through the course and cause serious learning
problems later on. These problems have cropped up over and over again in the
main stream education, where literacy and numeracy skills are often rushed and below standard
results are the outcome. This problem is usually due because there are to
many other unnecessary extra curricular activities added.
35 letter sounds
The 35 letter sounds and numbers are
in order of how they should be taught. Follow this sequence for best
results. However ... if you know of a different sequence, you feel is
much better, then you can easily adapt the lessons to suit your teaching
style, that is the beauty of this resource. It is fully adaptable and can be
integrated in any other existing curriculum. Four main teaching methods are
described on the following page for further information >>>
Reading Methods
Handy tip - letter cards
It is recommended to use each coloured letter as indicated from each lesson plan
and laminate these. They will last longer and can be hung on the wall or
handled by your students. These colourful letter cards can also be
incorporated with games and activities. Laminating them will ensure that
they last for the duration needed.
Be organized
If you have the time, patience and organizational skills, file your
purchased ABC material properly,
it is recommended to print your lesson plan and associated
worksheets. Laminate the colourful letters beforehand, file your lesson plans
and worksheets in a plastic sleeve binder. By being organized you will save
time and money. It is not wise to let your student wait while you're
photocopying or printing, it is not only your student/s who will loose
interest and enthusiasm quickly... you will too.
There are many worksheets for each lesson. If you find that the
'cursive' letters are inappropriate for your student simply print the
'alternative' letter instead. It is not essential to complete every
worksheet but recommended. It may take two days to complete all worksheets
per lesson, depending on the student.
The method in this course has been fully tested on home tutored children.
Some of these children now attend University or other tertiary
colleges and are excelling because of a good initial grounding. You need
dedication, perseverance and plenty of patience. Don't drop your bundle if
you have begun home tutoring and hit a few rough spots on the way. Be thankful
for the rough spots, it shows your child's weaknesses and you can
concentrate on improving these. Teaching your child to read and write is one of the
most rewarding missions in your life! Be organized
and take one day at a time, don't let others interfere with your goals. Well
meaning people can do a lot of damage to your
confidence. If you know such people it may be better to avoid them as
they can hinder you and your child from achieving a very important milestone in
both your lives. Hang on to those people who encourage you in your efforts
and you could even ask them to help occasionally. Check out the
Reading Methods and
Guide for Parents.
Art and Games
Some games and activities are suggested but there are many more ideas
available. If you are not very creative yourself, try your local library for
some activity books. Start
collecting toilet rolls, al-foil, old tubs, tins, boxes etc. for art
activities. Buy child safe glue, paints and drawing materials. Outdoor games
are healthy and will stir your child's imagination. Look at trees, flowers,
insects, rocks, birds, the sky, grow plants or vegetables, check out ponds,
streams or rivers. Always closely supervise all your activities, accidents
can happen quickly so keep a watch out!

I've always liked tea tree on my skin when I'm prone to breaking out. Like a week before or during my monthly. Sorry I had to say that because that's when I produce more oil and just seem to get a breakout. I use this like a toner on my t-zone or jaw line, chin, etc,. Then I use a little Thayers Rose water toner lightly over it to remove some of the oil. I then apply my serum and moisturizer and I'm good. Since using these my breakouts or I should say lack there of because I only get like one spot and it heals so fast! I use these while my skin is damp and they kinda exfoilate my problem areas. It also minimizes them being rough on my skin.
It's a good product and very reasonable too. I like these because they are keeping my skin balanced and spots to a minimum. They are especially good on the jaw line where I'm prone to hormonal acne. Plus I like the roughness or exfoilation on my jaw line since it's tougher skin. If you find them a little rough use them when your face is damp or as I like to remove dead skin and all that meh stuff. It works so I'm a happy girl! Recommended!

This is a great product for my acne prone skin. I use these a few times a week or as needed when my skin feels too oily or I'm getting a breakout. My skin feels so refreshed after using this product. It does not irritate my sensitive skin. If you have dry skin, this is not the product for you.

YEOWCH. These pads were NOT friends with my acne-prone combination skin; for some reason, the pads have an incredibly harsh texture. My skin would be red and irritated, no matter how light a hand I used. It felt like I was rubbing sandpaper against my face!
I've been using this tea tree oil pads for several years, and I absolutely love it!! It leaves my skin clear, and break outs are few and far in between. (I have combination skin.) I used to be able to use it morning and night daily, but my skin must have become more sensitive over the years because sometimes it stings like hell. So I started reducing the use to once every other day at night. I also very lightly dab it on my face to reduce the stinging (and sometimes skip a day or two). I still think that it's a great product that can help break outs, it's just that you'll have to experiment with it a few times to see how much your skin can take it at a given time.
Tip: After I dab the pad on my face, I wipe the undersides of my feet with it, and it totally prevents foot odor!! Awesome stuff to use during winter times when your piggies rarely get exposed to fresh air :)

I personally love these and feel inclined to give them a fantastic review to offset the poor ratings that these pads are recieving!
For reference, I have combination skin that is prone to clogged pores and sometimes acne, if I aggravate it. I love the list of ingredients in this formula, it's all natural and contains ingredients that are known to be good for the skin. They contain no animal products and are a cruelty-free company, which means I'm a happy and guilt-free consumer (:
All right, now, I've been doing well in rehabilitating my skin lately and was looking for a product to offset small blemishes caused by oily skin throughout the day, so I picked these up from Whole Foods after reading the reviews on MU about them. I expected the strong smell, as other reviewers have noted, and I don't mind the smell because I know it's not artificial fragrance- only the natural scent of tea tree oil. Plus, honestly, the smell is only "unbearable" if you focus on it intently, which I do not. The pads are a bit abrasive, for lack of a better word, so I don't even use a scrub to take off dead skin anymore- these do it for me! They can be scratchy if you apply too much pressure and use them roughly on your face, I'll say, and I wouldn't recommend doing that.
Within the first few days of using these, I noticed a fantastic difference in my skin (: it was less oily throughout the day and blemishes healed far more quickly- the results excited me to no end and I'd recommend these to anybody looking for clear(er) skin. Even after cleansing and toning, these pads picked up the last bits of dirt left on my skin, and that impressed me; my AHA moisturizer also seemed to absorb better, as well, which means faster results for me overall in my skin regimen!
Now I'll stop babbling. Purchase these! I don't think you'll regret it!

This is one product you do not use as directed. Have you tried to remove make-up with these pads???? OUCH! Feels more like rubbing your face with bricks.
Remove make-up with make-up remover. Wash face. While face is still dripping wet apply the tea tree oil pads.
Follow by a serum/moisturizer or both.
If you use it this way you will see an absolute difference in the morning. I would not use it if I had sensitive skin. It is kinda harsh. But if you like a little stinging followed by a cooling sensation from your serum---this is the way to go.
These pads are great for large pores if used as I described. If you need a break from retinolds I would strongly suggest using these pads.... if you can no longer afford your regular high priced serum...use these pads.
3 out of 3 people found this review helpful. Did you? Yes No
I have very sensitive skin.
Yes, this product does cleanse the skin....and remove the outer epidermis layer as well!
These pads cause burns and subsequently 'dents' or pockmarks on the skin. Way too harsh for facial skin. In addition, the strips leave the skin super dry (flaking) and pores enlarged. Even after applying a moisturizer, the skin looks horrible.
The smell is okay - sort of medicinal.
I prefer the gentler alternative of using cold cream cleanser.
1 out of 1 people found this review helpful. Did you? Yes No
I'm not sure why the rating is so low on these! They must not work for everyone else the way they work for me.
These pads have seriously changed my life. I've been using them for two years now and haven't had one breakout -- NOT ONE. I struggled with chin acne for about 8 years, every day -- and now no breakouts!!
They're the only drugstore product I use and I will buy these for the rest of my life!
5 out of 5 people found this review helpful. Did you? Yes No
More reviews by squirrelsatemyramen
I have fair to medium skin that is normal to sensitive that stays clear most of the time. When I do get any zits, though, I like to use these to clear them up. I sometimes get rashes out of stress, and these pads help with that problem as well. They do not feel harsh and irritate my skin, either.
1 out of 1 people found this review helpful. Did you? Yes No
I really love these things and feel like they're contributing to a vast improvement I've seen in my skin lately. They're quite harsh, and do have alcohol in them, but I rather suspect that's makes them so effective, in that they really do completely remove all traces of makeup, oil, and debris.
I use either makeup remover wipes or micellar water at night to remove makeup & cleanse my skin, followed by a spritz of grape water. These pads are the last step in getting everything of my face before toning & moisturizing.
They seem to be quite effective in keeping blackheads at bay and treating a hormonal acneic patch on my chin/jawline that flares up. I buy them at vitacost and the price is very reasonable, as all Desert Essence products are. My only complaint is that by the time I get down to the last 7 or 8 pads, they tend to be dried out.

NEW YORK (CNN/Money) - Tuesday was an ugly day to own homebuilding stocks.
First, there was an earnings warning from Washington Mutual, which said that its mortgage-origination business has dropped off sharply. Then, there was that statement from the Fed suggesting that it's beginning to slouch toward higher rates.
So not only is housing cooling, investors surmised, it's going to get colder. And so they scuttled shares of outfits like Centex (CTX: Research, Estimates), which dropped 4.7 percent, and Pulte (PHM: Research, Estimates), which fell 4.6 percent. Toll Brothers (TOL: Research, Estimates), which easily beat analyst earnings expectations when it reported Wednesday morning, tumbled 5.2 percent.
Small wonder. Selling these stocks as the Fed goes into tightening mode has always been a good idea. When rates rise, housing activity slows and homebuilders are left holding the bag. In 1994, when a series of hikes sent the fed funds target rate up sharply, the homebuilding group fell over 40 percent. And considering how well the homebuilders have done this year (many have doubled in price) one can hardly question the wisdom of investors who want to take some off the table.
But a repeat of the 1994 experience isn't set in stone.
First off, valuations on these stocks are much lower now. KB Home (KBH: Research, Estimates), for example, carries a price-to-earnings ratio of 8.1 compared with the P/E of 24.2 it had right before the Fed's first rate hike in early February 1994. Toll Brothers, the most expensive stock in the group, has a P/E of 12.5 now compared with 23.3 back then.
Furthermore, there are signs that the homebuilders have gotten out of the classic boom-and-bust mode that held them in the past. Smith Barney analyst Stephen Kim has pointed out that many smaller players, which tend to overbuild during the flush times, have been pushed out of the market, and as a result inventory levels have come down. This means that when housing growth slows, there won't be the same sort of fire sale we've seen in the past.
But though the group may be better able to withstand higher rates, this is a theory that hasn't been tested out in practice. Homebuilders continue to hold much lower valuations than the rest of the market because investors fully expect them to blow it again -- and of course, that may be the right call. But if the companies can weather a rate rise well, then they could be in for a period of P/E multiple expansion.
And then when investors consider how the builders made it through the most recent recession unscathed while other companies faltered, the stocks could go higher still.

Rolando Cevallos's beauty career began with makeup, but after mastering the art—and working his way up to become the creative director of Chanel—he decided to segue into hair. Rolando perfected his techniques as a top stylist in numerous New York salons before opening Paris Salon. He is constantly looking for new ways to elevate his craft, and, through frequent trainings and lots of hard work and positive energy, encourages his staff to do the same. Together, they perform designer haircuts, color, and makeup applications in the chic salon space.
Master stylist Steven Melito knows that style continually evolves?so he supports his team at Sivana Salon by encouraging continued eduction and creative development. The stylists apply this up-to-date know-how with an array of mane taming services for men, women, and children, from haircuts and blowouts to glazed coloring and weave extensions. To accentuate revamped looks, the salon's aestheticians can apply airbrush makeup to lift unwanted fuzz with waxing treatments.
More than 30 years after its inception, Cactus Salon & Spa and its team of continually educated stylists have not lost their edge?they earned the Long Island Press's designation as Best Hair Salon and Best Day Spa in 2011 and 2012. It's not surprising, then, that the salon has enjoyed such impressive growth over the years, with more than two dozen separate spa and salon locations.
Although hair is still the focus?stylists craft 'dos that reflect everyday ease or fashion-forward thinking?the repertoire has expanded to include everything from nail treatments and massages to permanent cosmetics and laser services. Since the roster is so broad, many clients take advantage of Cactus Club memberships, which give them the flexibility to try multiple services and products by deactivating the force fields between treatment rooms and granting a 33% discount on Sunday, Tuesday, and Wednesday.
In 1973, Richard Nixon was president, Schoolhouse Rock! premiered, and Axios Salon was doing exactly what they do now––forming tresses into face-flattering cuts with bold color highlights. Drawing on these 40 years of experience, the salon has made many innovations, venturing into the realm of Japanese hair straightening, Mizani relaxer treatments, and Hair-Loc extensions. Axios's stylists are also fully licensed and offer fluency in multiple languages such as Greek, Spanish, and Haitian.
Studio 108 Hair Salon's experienced stylists Danielle and Samantha tame tresses in as little as 35 minutes with keratin express treatments. After guests are greeted and ushered into salon seats, one of the two mane whisperers prepare for the session by asking hair to meditate and imagine stretching before applying the strand-straightening serum. Keratin proteins hug the shaft of the hair, ridding neck toppers of frizz and unruly curls and leaving locks luscious and smooth. Though the treatment can be completed in less than an hour, results can last between four and six weeks, or enough time to cartwheel to the Statue of Liberty.

Vincent Piazza: Who Is Ashlee Simpson's New Man?
Vincent Piazza has had no trouble maintaining a solid acting career thus far. However, now that he's Ashlee Simpson's new squeeze, he better get ready for a whole lot of public attention.
Since he's dating a well-known Hollywood starlet and will surely have the media looking to find out more about the new couple, Celebuzz is here to give you a bit of a glimpse into who Piazza is, what he's done and why his face might look very familiar to you.
What's His Deal With Ashlee? Neither have spoken about their couple status, but judging from the set of photos of them kissing and walking around New York City, Ashlee and Vincent seem to be an item for sure. And despite reports that Ashlee and Pete Wentz might be trying to work things out prior to officially divorcing, that seems to be shelved.
What Has He Been In? Piazza has had a somewhat lengthy acting career, and though his age isn't published on his IMDB bio or wikipedia page, the actor got his start in 2006 with roles in Law & Order: Criminal Intent and the film Stephanie Daley. That same year, he made his HBO debut on The Sopranos as Hernan O'Brien -- and he'd later find HBO as his acting home.
Cut to one year later, and he had a recurring role in the hit Rescue Me, where he played Tony during the show's 2007 season. Watch the Stephanie Daley trailer below:
What's He In Now? Nowadays, he can be seen as a major character on HBO's Boardwalk Empire, where he plays mob kingpin (and sneaky mom romancer) Lucky Luciano.
Did He Always Want to Be an Actor? Acting wasn't even the first career choice for Piazza, as according to his IMDB bio, he was on his way to becoming a professional hockey player before injuring his shoulder.
Where's He From? Piazza was born and raised in Queens, New York.
Watch Piazza discuss his Lucky Luciano role below:

Investors in Verizon Communications Inc. (NYSE:VZ) are once again pressing the company's board of directors to report on the business risks arising from the company's opposition to open Internet and network neutrality principles. A shareholder proposal which last year won 26.4% of the shareholder vote – representing $30.6 billion of Verizon shares – has been resubmitted for consideration at Verizon's 2015 annual meeting.

A group of investment firms and foundations with widely-diversified investment portfolios today called upon the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) to adopt network neutrality rules that would protect an open Internet. They recommended reclassification of broadband Internet service under Title II of the Communications Act, giving the FCC clear regulatory authority over the Internet network infrastructure that serves millions of individuals, entrepreneurs and established businesses throughout the U.S
The Federal Communications Commission should move quickly to embrace President Obama's recommendation to protect network neutrality by reclassifying Internet broadband under Title II of the Telecommunications Act, an investor group said today.

Last name origin & meaning:
English: habitational name from any of various places so called. Most, including those in Cumbria, Herefordshire, Norfolk, and East and North Yorkshire, are named from an Old English wilig 'willow' + tūn 'enclosure', 'settlement'. One in Somerset and another in Wiltshire have as their first element Old English wiell(a) 'spring', 'stream'. The one that has given its name to the county of Wiltshire is named for the Wylye river, on which it stands (an ancient British river name, perhaps meaning 'capricious').

In this "By the Numbers" installment, we take a gander at LinkedIn, the world's largest professional network.
LinkedIn is one of the older social networks, surviving changes in technology, a tough demographic and a number of challengers along the way. They stand today as a public company; going stronger than ever with a firm grip on the business professional social network market.

Here are a bunch of interesting LinkedIn statistics that I was able to dig up. As with all of these stats post, I intend to update this semi-regularly, so be sure to bookmark it and come back periodically for updates.

LinkedIn User Statistics and Demographics
Please note that some of these numbers are easier to find than others. A few of these stats come from LinkedIn's own reports, but some are based on news reports and not official company tallies. Basically, this is the best I can find and I don't guarantee anything to be 100% accurate.

Walk - There is a big difference between standing on our path and walking our path. Standing denotes staying still. It can be deceiving as showing strength however standing means we are not going anywhere; we have stopped. Walking shows movement and action. Even if we are not sure of what is up ahead, walking is the easiest and highest path we could choose. It shows we are in control of where we are going in this life. Standing still we can get knocked down, whereas if we are walking and we get challenged or hit by something in our life, we might get knocked back a few steps but we remain standing because we already had forward momentum. I recognized this distinction very clearly on my Facebook page a couple of months ago when answering peoples posts on my page. I would want to post back, I am honored to stand beside you in the light. However, because of the Angels I would end up writing, I am honored to walk beside you in the light. The Angels asked me to study the difference of energy in the two sentences and I realized that walking was the strongest energy. Walking beside each other, actively supporting each other is helping to create a higher light here on Earth. One step at a time, we are creating change with our thoughts and actions. I am determining my walk in this life and I am on a very blessed path, indeed!

X-ray - I really didnt know what to post for X. I did get some fabulous ideas from my Facebook friends. (Thank you!) After talking with the Angels about the options, we decided on X-ray for the word, as walking on our easiest spiritual path involves so much of looking within ourselves. An x-ray is a great example of how to do that! When was the last time you looked within yourself? We dont mean with a critical glance. We mean loving yourself and gently (this is key) looking within and seeing if there is any lingering un-forgiveness, doubt, judgment, etc. We can do that by taking a few deep breaths (three to four is suggested) and asking our highest Angels to show us anything in our body, mind and spirit that is lower energy than what we are praying / affirming for in our lives. Then we will get visions (like memories) come to mind. If there is anything to clear, we could do the forgiveness exercise (on video or in my book, Your Divine Life; Angelic Guidance for the Ascension) or say affirmations to clear up any doubt or to increase our self-love, etc. Whatever the Angels of our Soul show us, we can take care of easily. We spend so much time praying and affirming for better things to show up in our lives that sometimes it is easy to overlook some minor situation which left unattended in our heart can grow blocking our manifestation ability. I am looking within, like with an x-ray, to see any lower energy stored in my body, mind and spirit. I am now walking the highest and easy path I can walk for my life today!
