First Look: Giro New Road Apparel for Women
Introducing New Road
1 / 7
After years of being known for helmets and shoes, Giro introduced its New Road line of apparel for men in 2013. It was designed for riders who want functional cycling garments that are as visually appealing as the clothes they wear off the bike.
This year, Giro launched a women's New Road collection. Why the wait? Apparel product manager Nathan Mack says the company wanted to not just slightly alter the men's line, but to create clothing designed specifically with women's needs in mind. "The women's line employs the same level of innovative materials and design, with an authentic fit and feel that respects the body and enhances the ride for more cyclists than ever before," Mack says. Let's take a look at a few pieces.

The Human torch
thoughts ?
@darkelf35: agreed ace is a little better trained at hand to hand i think if johnny couldnt melt him ace would win
I think he IS vulnerable to fire but i am not sure if Torch's Fire blasts would hurt him that much. I think that ace is a little faster and he has better stamina + his Haki is strong enough to probalby do hand to hand Torch has the advantage that he can fly around and has great AOE flame attacks
I think that Ace mastered his logia fruit pretty damn good and that the fire logia gives the character more power than Human Torch has it. I still think that Human Torch would win. It probably wouldn't be a short fight and Human Torch would have two advantages: 1) his ability to fly and 2) water, which would render Ace helpless. Chances are high that Human Torch would take the fight to a sea to depower them both, when he would realize that he is on the shorter end of the fire fight. I guess he would try to brawl it out then, but the water would defeat Ace instantly.
i was under the impression that Ace not only controls fire but can become it as well... and that puts him at a certain advantage being ethereal and what not. HT takes it with raw energy output....
Yes, Ace does become fire, all Logias do with their element. However Ace's fire has more feats for concussive force than heat. Torch can possibly burn Ace out like Akainu did with his magma since Torch's fire is waaaaaaaay hotter.
But if Ace's fist touches Johnny, its over.
Ace should win due to his versatility within the element of fire and also his H2H skills.
Giving this to Ace. While it's true that Akainu's magma burned Ace, that's more due to Devil Fruit magic (i.e., when two Devil Fruits of the same element interact, the 'superior' element trumps the lower one, in this case Magma being superior to Fire) Torch won't be able to burn Ace, and Ace can't burn Johnny. So this'll come down to hand to hand. In which case, we've got a relatively in shape mid-to-late twenties male who has just had his one power rendered useless, versus a super strong individual who is not only USED to fighting people his powers don't work on, but actually learned how to fight WITHOUT his powers. So Johnny goes down relatively easily, Ace prepares to walk off, but falls asleep instead.
Hiken No Ace Dies again, Torch's Nova was twice the heat of the sun, it even hurt a Celestial, Ace can't handle heat like that .
@darkelf35: AOE flame attacks??? what are those?
It's pretty tough to choose here. Ace could just become Flame, so Johnny's attacks wont do any harm to him, as long as Johnny doesn't get haki And luffy to get in the way somehow :p On the other hand, it's possible for johnny to be physically damaged, right? So giving this to ace.

Guys, I am absolutely over the moon to be able to share these MCM news with you today. As you know, we had a stint in Harrods' windows in 2008 and then a permanent presence from 2012, the year of our Brand Experience in London (and of the Olympics, of course). Our opening in Harrods was a very big one indeed as the department store is a truly iconic landmark in London.
Fast-forward two years later, and we're opening a new shop in shop concept in Harrods. It is the largest MCM shop in shop within a department store in Europe - impressive, isn't it? It comes as a great complement to our nearby London Flagship (located on Sloane street, just around the corner from Harrods).
The new boutique at Harrods spans 105 sqm and is located on Lower Ground Floor, Hall 1. The design concept is simple: natural polished wood combined with gold highlights - it is the perfect canvas for our bags, reflecting both our luxurious heritage and the traditional craftsmanship.
In the store you will also find a designated lounge area - a luxurious feature shared by many of our more exclusive boutiques - and of course you will find there our brand new AW14 collection. You already know I am a big fan of one of our leading ladies for the new season...

In 1976, two UC Davis graduate students bought 20 acres of land in the highly arable Capay Valley. One of the students, Kathleen Barsotti, was working toward her master's degree in ecology and was determined to grow vegetables and fruits in an eco-friendly way: organically. The organic-food movement hadn't yet entered the public consciousness, and Kathleen worked overtime to convince restaurants, stores, and consumers of the taste-able merits of her process. Over time, given the possible health and environmental benefits of certified organic food, she succeeded. The farm sprouted to 300 acres to accommodate the increased demand. Today, a second generation runs the farm as well as a shop inside San Francisco's Ferry Building. Dubbed Farm Fresh To You, the store furnishes customers' bags or portable cornucopia horns with all sorts of soil-sprouted goods, including heirloom tomatoes, sweet peas, and fresh asparagus. The farm also teams up with fellow Yolo County and Pacific Northwest farms to deliver boxes of seasonal produce to area homes.
Spokesman Bicycles' mechanics obviously ride their bikes to work, but that's not the only thing they do to reduce their impact on the environment. They also donate used tubes and tires to Totally Tubular Bags, use a biodegradable fluid in their parts cleaning machine, and ride whales to work only on special occasions.
But they didn't get into biking just to help the environment?they love everything about the sport, and many of them have been seriously cycling and fixing up bikes since the '70s. At their shop, the mechanics build road and mountain bikes, as well as work with fitters who adjust each bike to fit the needs of the rider. To keep clients safe and happy, they pass on their expertise to riders during free maintenance classes every month.
Californian abodes can emulate the relaxing, laid-back atmosphere of the tropics with the island-inspired, eco-friendly home accoutrements found at Element Home Furnishings. Many of the items in the shop's unique collection were imported from exotic locales or supplied by local businesses. Multicolored flip-flops, banana-leaf journals, and scented candles immediately evoke vacations on the beach, and a selection of artwork invites a second look with signs made of surfboards and vibrant paintings of Hawaiian landscapes. The shop's furniture show room unveils beds and tables constructed out of sustainable materials, such as plantation-grown mahogany and teak, and towering divider screens made of bamboo wrestled from the jowls of a panda.
Caution stand-up paddling encourages seasoned surf-riders and new-wavers alike to take to the waters with a multitude of nautical recreation equipment.

Friendly instructors guide students through one hour of instruction, followed by one hour of self-paddling through the calm waters of Santa Cruz Harbor, dispensing wisdom nuggets on basic paddleboarding techniques, postures, and proper etiquette when courting eligible waves. If weather permits, aquatic athletes can take to Monterey Bay to more closely commune with otters, seals, and dolphins. For 14 days post lesson, newly enamored paddlers can apply a $120 credit and opt to adopt their own pet board from Caution's stable of coastal fillies (board prices start at $1,115).

Longshan culture
Longshan culture 龍山文化 | |
Geographical range | North China Plain |
Period | late Neolithic |
Dates | c. 3000–2000 BC |
Major sites | Taosi |
Preceded by | Yangshao culture |
Followed by | Erlitou culture |
The Longshan culture (simplified Chinese: 龙山文化; traditional Chinese: 龍山文化; pinyin: Lóngshān wénhuà), sometimes encountered as Lung-shan after its previous romanization, was a late Neolithic culture in China, centered on the central and lower Yellow River and dated from about 3000 BC to 2000 BC. The Longshan culture is named after the town of Longshan (lit. "Dragon Mountain") in the east of the area under the administration of the city of Jinan, Shandong Province, where the first archaeological find (in 1928) and excavation (in 1930 and 1931) of this culture took place at the Chengziya Archaeological Site. Early studies indicated that the Longshan and Yangshao cultures were one and the same. It is now widely accepted that the Longshan culture is in fact a later development of the Yangshao culture.[1] Some scholars also mentions the Longshan culture to be a successor of the Dawenkou culture.[2]
This section is empty. You can help by adding to it. (February 2014) |
The distinctive feature of the Longshan culture was the high level of skill in pottery making, including the use of pottery wheels. The Longshan culture was noted for its highly polished black pottery (or egg-shell pottery). This type of thin-walled and polished black pottery has also been discovered in the Yangtze River valley and as far as today's southeastern coast of China.[3] It is a clear indication that neolithic agricultural sub-groups of the greater Longshan Culture had spread out across ancient boundaries of China.[4]
Life during the Longshan culture marked a transition to the establishment of cities, as rammed earth walls and moats began to appear; the site at Taosi is the largest walled Longshan settlement. Rice cultivation was clearly established by that time. Small-scale production of silk by raising and domesticating the silkworm Bombyx mori in early sericulture was also known.[4]
Remains found at archaeological sites suggest that the inhabitants used a method of divination based on interpreting the crack patterns formed in heated cattle bones.[5]
The Neolithic population in China reached its peak during the Longshan culture. Towards the end of the Longshan culture, the population decreased sharply; this was matched by the disappearance of high-quality black pottery found in ritual burials.
The early period of the Longshan culture is considered to be 3000 to 2600 BC, while the late period is 2600 to 2000 BC.[6] A variety of geographic regions of China are involved among the various sub-periods of the Longshan civilisation, particularly for the Late Longshan period.[6] For example the middle reaches of the Jing River and Wei River evince settlement known as the Shaanxi Longshan.[6] The We'i River valley would participate in key historic events in China as the North Silk Road developed in that same area.
Craniofacial/Skeletal analysis[edit]
According to recent research on neolithic skeletal remains, two Longshan cultures Miaodigou(4000 BC to 3000 BC) and Chengzierqi(3500 BC) located in Henan and Shandong respectively cluster with the Yangshao people of Shaanxi. While the other four Yangshao culture sites the Miaozigou(3490 B.C.), Jiangjialiang(4000-3000 BC) from Inner Mongolia and Hebei cluster as Ancient Northern Chinese while the Liuwan(2590-1990 BC) and Yangshan of Qinghai cluster with Ancient Northwestern Chinese.

One of the giants of Montana high school basketball is stepping aside.
And that description would fit even if Doug Robison didn't stand 6-foot-8.
The highly successful and very popular Robison is stepping aside after 20 seasons, 355 wins and three state championships as the boys basketball coach at Billings West. He made the tearful announcement Sunday night at the team's year-end banquet, and he was having no second thoughts on Monday.
"I'm at peace with my decision," Robison said. "It's the best time for me personally and professionally to do this. It's time for a break … time for a change for me. I'm ready to have a little more free time and to spend more time with my wife. I just hope she's ready for that."
The 52-year-old Robison coached the Golden Bears for two separate 10-year stints, 1989-99 and 2004-14. In between, he was the West athletic director for five years.
The Golden Bears went to the State AA tournament 19 times in Robison's 20 seasons — missing only his first season in 1989-90 — and won State AA championships in 2007, 2008 and 2012. Robison's teams finished as the state runner-up six times, and he guided West to a state-record six consecutive State AA championship games from 2007-12, winning three of the six.
Robison, who will remain at West as a business teacher, leaves with a remarkable career record of 355-109.
The 355 wins ranks fourth all-time among Class AA boys coaches — trailing only John Cheek of Anaconda/Flathead (469), Swede Dahlberg of Butte (407) and Eric Hays of Missoula Hellgate (361) — and his .765 winning percentage ranks second all-time among Class AA boys coaches behind only Lou Rocheleau of Missoula Sentinel (.797).
As he always does, the modest Robison deflected credit to the players and coaches who helped him put up those numbers.
"I don't think anything about what I did personally is remarkable," he said. "I consider it an honor and a privilege to have been the coach here at West. I'm fortunate to be in the spot that I was, and fortunate to be blessed with outstanding players, parents and assistant coaches."
Another of the eye-popping numbers for West under Robison is a 93-7 record in home games in his second 10-year stint (2004-14).
Billings Skyview owns two of those wins — coming in each of the past two seasons — and the significance is not lost on Falcons coach Toby Hill.
"Anytime you can get a win over one of Doug's teams it feels pretty good. And especially at their gym … that home record is unbelievable," said Hill. "Both years we've won at their place, they came right back and beat us at our place. So it's not like we've had the upper hand … nobody has ever really been able to get the upper hand on Doug.
"He's such a great coach and such a great person. I've learned a lot from Doug both in coaching against him and in conversations we've had. I've called him when I've had big program decisions to make, and he's always been more than willing to help."
Robison is a 1979 Billings Senior grad. He played two years of college basketball at Dawson Community College and two years at the College of Great Falls before beginning his coaching career at Geyser (four years) and Missoula Loyola (one year). He came to West in 1989.
As the radio voice of the Golden Bears since the 1993-94 season, Rocky Erickson has called nearly 300 of Robison's victories — including all three state championship wins. Erickson said of all his great memories of Robison, two stand out the most.
"Doug got a technical foul this season at Billings Central — one of the few technicals he's ever gotten," said Erickson. "Before West's next game, he came over and apologized to me for getting a technical … and he wanted me to know that he didn't swear.
"The other thing that always stands out about Doug to me is that you see former players in his office before and after almost every game. Not every coach gets that. That tells me what kind of person he is and what he means to those players."
Two of those former players are Robison's sons, Shane and Danny, who both played on state championship-winning teams in their senior season. Robison's daughter, Shadra, played on three State AA championship teams with the West girls.
Brady Gustafson has known Doug Robison since he was 12 years old and a teammate of Danny's on the Billings Regulators club baseball team.
"Doug is just a wonderful guy and an amazing coach," said Gustafson, who's now a quarterback for the University of Montana football team. "He was the same guy as my varsity basketball coach as he was when I just knew him as Danny's dad.
"He knows the game so well and he's so good at preparing and motivating his players. There's no wasted time or effort in practice … every drill we did and everything we talked about in practice related directly to what we needed to do in games."
District 2 athletic director Mark Wahl said the district will begin advertising the position within the next few days and hope to fill the position within the next few weeks.
"I want to thank Doug for all that he has done for West High basketball over the many years," said Wahl, who coached the Skyview boys before Hill. "Doug has always led his teams with class and integrity. And along with all of the individual and team success he has experienced, he has always accomplished the most important goal of all, which is continuously playing a major role in the growth and development of all the young men who have played for him."
To say that Robison leaves big shoes to fill is a huge understatement.
"I have no doubt that they will find a great coach and that West will continue to be a great program," said Hill. "But it's going to be tough to match what Doug has done. Winning 76 percent of his games and playing in nine state championship games in 20 seasons … that's legendary stuff.
"Guys like Doug and Mike Cole (the former Bozeman coach who reached nine championship games in 21 seasons), they're just in a different league than the rest of us. I'm glad to know Doug and glad that I've had an opportunity to learn from him."

For Axel Lovers-Halloween VersFor all you Axel lovers like me.... Tonight is a Halloween masked ball and you just can't wait for it to begin. You were sitting on your bed, tying you strappy heels on. Then you stood up, your elegant dress brushing against the floor. You were wearing a gorgeous, poofy white dress with a little pink down the center. A matching white mask decorated with pearls sat over your eyes. You couldn't help but smile, then blush a little as you looked at your reflection in your mirror. You knew that Axel was going to be there, and you hoped you looked fabulous for when he saw you. Grinning (and very satisfied with yourself), you walked out the door, ready for a date with destiny. You arrived at a miraculous grand ballroom that reminded you of the one at the Beast's castle. Maybe the people that owned this place had the same decorator? There were a lot of people there, all masked and everything. Some of them you recognized, some you didn't. You saw many of the

For Axel LoversYou walk into the Grey Area, one side of the room has a poker game taking place while on the other side a few members just rest on the couches, minding their own business. No one seemed to be doing work and then you realize no one was there to assign you today's mission." Come on over here." the red-head called to you. You walk over and join the small group at the table." Why is everyone just hanging around?" you ask." Vacation day." Luxord stated, not even lifting his gaze off his cards." So that means everyone can do what they want?"" You catch on quickly!" Axel teased. He let out a grunt as you send a kick in his direction. There were times, or most of the time, when his humor just didn't amuse you." Well, then see you all later, I'm going to sleep." Just as you push back your seat, it abruptly stopped. You look down and see Axel's foot placed in front of the legs of the chair." Why don't you join our game?"" I don't gamble, and if I did, I'd beat you." you taunted." I'm se

No Cologne for AxelXemnas Report #487There has been a slight decrease of cologne, mouthwash, toiletries, and groceries lately so I eventually had sent Number III to buy more this morning. However, if Xaldin rid of the blasted cologne bottle he had bought for Number VIII, perhaps the unfortunate events that followed may never had happened...----Earlier that day...----Xaldin just came back from the store and Vexen, the Chilly Academic, was inspecting the items Xaldin laid out on the kitchen table. The last time Xaldin went shopping, he brought the wrong items and he got a dead bunny for Demyx, who threatened to shave his sideburns if he got the chance."Let's see," Vexen read from the grocery list as he inspects each item while Xaldin watches nearby. "Toilet paper, mouthwash, lettuce, tomato soup, cornflake cereal, rose-scented deoderant for Marluxia, tampons for Larxene, and... spicy mint cologne for Axel...""... Yeah...?" Xaldin questioned when Vexen holds up the latter item close to his fac

Getting more bang for your buck
Good news:
If you don't use your coupons before they expire, they're still worth the money you paid for them for an extra three months.
GrabOne FaceValue gives you another three months after your coupons expire, making it even easier to enjoy businesses all over New Zealand.
How does it work?
- A coupon is valid up until and including the expiry date printed on the coupon.
- If you don't use it before the expiry date for whatever reason, the coupon retains the value you paid for it for an additional three months.
- This means you can turn up to the business up to three months after the coupon has expired and put the money you spent to buy that coupon towards the service or experience printed on your coupon.
For example, if you spend $50 on a $100 dining voucher but don't use it before the expiry date, you will still be entitled to $50 worth of food and beverage services at that business for an additional three months.
The same goes for coupons without monetary values assigned to them. For example, if you buy a bungy jump deal but don't use it before the expiry date, you can still put the money you spent on the coupon towards a bungy jump, for another three months. Remember, the FaceValue of your coupon can only be put toward the service or experience printed on your coupon.
A few things to note:
- FaceValue applies to all deals that display the FaceValue icon. If the icon is not on a deal, FaceValue does not apply.
- It's always best to use your coupon before the expiry date, so you get the most value for your money. And if you're a bit forgetful, we now automatically remind you if your coupons are about to expire.
- During the FaceValue period, your coupon can only be put towards the service stated on the coupon.
- If the offer is seasonal, like a seasonal menu or chimney sweep service, the FaceValue of your coupon can be put towards a similar offer at the merchant's discretion.
- FaceValue does not apply to product deals, travel and accommodation-related deals, or time-dependent event deals.
- The conditions on your coupon still apply during the FaceValue grace period.

Ain't Misbehavin'
Ain't Misbehavin' follows legendary jazz pianist Fats Waller and his cohorts in 1930s Harlem as they create a flurry of infectious hits that set the soundtrack to the Harlem Renaissance. The show, which first opened on Broadway in 1978, went on to win a Tony Award for Best Musical and spawn a Broadway revival and a national tour starring the Pointer Sisters. Chicago's Cassandra Bell directs the Broadway in Bronzeville production, anchored by tunes that capture Waller's love of life. "Honeysuckle Rose" and the title track both skip along with juke-joint keys and playfully romantic lyrics.

- 2 tablespoon(s) extra-virgin olive oil
- 1 cup(s) diced onion
- 2 medium chile peppers, such as poblano, New Mexico or Anaheim, diced
- 3 habanero peppers, or other small hot chile peppers, stemmed, halved and seeded (see Tip)
- 4 clove(s) garlic, minced
- 1 pound(s) tomatoes, diced (about 3 cups)
- 1 cup(s) distilled white vinegar
- 2 teaspoon(s) salt
- 2 teaspoon(s) sugar
- Heat oil in a large saucepan over medium-high heat. Add onion, chile peppers, habaneros to taste and garlic and cook, stirring, until the onion is soft and beginning to brown, 3 to 4 minutes.
- Reduce heat to medium. Add tomatoes, vinegar, salt and sugar to taste. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the tomatoes begin to break down, about 5 minutes.
- Carefully transfer the tomato mixture to a food processor or blender. Puree until smooth. (Use caution when pureeing hot ingredients.) Set a fine-mesh sieve over a medium bowl; pour the pureed mixture through the sieve, pushing on the solids with a wooden spoon to extract all the liquid. (Discard solids.) Let the sauce cool to room temperature, about 1 1/2 hours.
- Tip: The membranes that hold the seeds are the spiciest part of chile peppers (that's where the capsaicin is). The seeds pick up some spiciness by association. You can customize the heat of salsa or hot sauce by using some or all of the seeds along with the flesh of the pepper and tasting as you go. Be sure to wash your hands thoroughly after chopping hot peppers or wear rubber gloves.

Costa Rica - Walks and Wildlife Adventure Holiday
Costa Rica, Discovery, 15 days - from $2,970 (land only)
By: Nan Pratt, Swindon, UK
I am thrilled with this holiday. It gave an excellent and varied introduction to Costa Rica. Wonderful!
The aspects I most enjoyed were: variety of locations from tropical rainforest to 'alpine' conditions, quality of our leader, different types of accommodation, including log cabins - particularly close to the forests / Pacific / the wild, meeting Ticos, especially those who are endeavouring to improve their lot with ecotourism off the beaten track, swimming in plunge pools, hot springs, the Pacific ocean (and hotel pools), walking through a wide range of ecosystems and landscapes, observing birds, mammals, sea-life, Gallo pinto! small group, sunsets.
Walter (our leader) was enthusiastic to show us as much as possible. His knowledge of wildlife and love of his country are exemplary. He appreciated our different needs and interests and tried effectively to engage us all.
There was even more diverse habitats than I expected.
The level of walking was never too difficult - I feared it may have been. This was a superb experience. I loved every moment, even when I was physically stretched.
By: Christina Schonherr, Edinburgh, UK
The trip was well organised and we didn't have to worry about anything. Our guide Walter was really excellent, knowledgable and happy to share his knowledge with us, he never tired of trying to find the animals for us.
My original holiday had to be cancelled and I was rebooked on this one. I got really great help from KE staff (thanks a lot!) and the holiday was really a success!
A friend recommended KE Adventure Travel to me. I picked this trip as it was a nice combination of hiking, getting to know the country and wildlife. I really enjoyed the holiday and would highly recommend this trip to anyone!

GE Solar Panels With 14% Efficiency Rate May Surpass First Solar
General Electric Co. (GE), the world's biggest maker of power-generating equipment, said it will produce thin-film solar panels that convert at least 14 percent of the energy in sunlight into electricity and may surpass products offered by First Solar Inc. (FSLR)
When a new plant in Colorado reaches full capacity of 400 megawatts a year, efficiency will be above 14 percent, Danielle Merfeld, the Fairfield, Connecticut-based company's solar product line leader, said today in an interview. Production will begin next year and initial shipments are expected in 2013. She didn't say when the facility will reach full capacity or how much the panels will cost.
A conversion rate above 14 percent will make GE's panels some of the most-efficient thin-film products in volume production.
"Fourteen percent is competitive," Aaron Chew, an analyst at Maxim Group LLC in New York, said today in an interview. "They'll get a price premium or they can price at the same level" as other companies' thin-film panels and take market share.
First Solar, the largest manufacturer of thin-film panels, had an average efficiency of 11.7 percent in the second-quarter. It's working on technology that may yield panels with 15.3 percent efficiency in volume production, and hasn't set a date when they will be available.
Alan Bernheimer, a spokesman for Tempe, Arizona-based First Solar, declined to comment today. The company said in its second-quarter earnings report in August that it expects to offer panels with 13.5 percent to 14.5 percent efficiency in 2014.
GE said yesterday that it will open a factory in Aurora, Colorado. It will make enough panels to power approximately 80,000 U.S. homes. It's expected to cost $300 million and will employ 350 people.

I love the look of this fashion star pattern (McCalls 6698). I had the print fabric from in my stash and bought the white sheer flower fabric for the last tier. The fit is perfect. You can get very creative with this pattern making it in different lengths and use several fabrics to make an interesting layered look.
Main dress print cotton (IKEA). Bottom tier white sheer flower cotton (Joann fabric).

In an effort to continue bringing resources to people with blepharospasm across the U.S., Merz Pharmaceuticals will expand its support of BEBRF beyond the national level by providing assistance to local BEBRF support groups. For more information about how Merz can assist your local blepharospasm support group, please contact Merz Professional Services at 1-800-334-0514.
"When I was first diagnosed with blepharospasm nearly 25 years ago, I didn't know where to go for more information," said Anita Croce, BEBRF North Central District Director. "My doctor referred me to BEBRF and since then, I've been working closely with the Foundation to ensure others living with this condition know they're not alone. I'm proud to have seen BEBRF mature from the beginning years to where we are today, with undaunted dedication to empowering patients and providing opportunities to share experiences, encouragement, hope and knowledge."
Although there is no cure for blepharospasm at this time, there are treatments available, including botulinum toxin injections, drug therapy and surgery.
"On this occasion of the 30th anniversary of BEBRF, I wish the foundation continued success in its pursuit of the primary mission to improve the quality of life of each and every person living with blepharospasm through support of research, education and services," said Joseph Jankovic, M.D., Director of the Parkinson's Disease Center and Movement Disorders Clinic at Baylor College of Medicine, Houston, Texas. "For me, being a founding member and the first Chairman of the Medical Advisory Board of the BEBRF, and having the privilege to know Mattie Lou and Mary Lou, have been among the most rewarding experiences in my personal and professional life, for which I will alway

2014 Financial To-Do List
Seriously, has it really been 4 months since I last posted?? My life has been a blur, and I am reminded of how easy it is to fall into routine. Work has been going well, and I am finding that I am reluctant to take vacation time because I don't want to miss anything! So it is definitely nice to be looking forward to work, but I know that I'm still in the honeymoon phase ~ 9 months to the day! At the very least, I figure I should set up my annual to-do list for myself as well as my clients (a not so subtle hint of course!)
- TFSA contribution – the maximum remains similar to last year at $5,500 this year. I will definitely be maxing out my contribution room this year, and it is something I would recommend to my clients as well, regardless of their financial situation. For more information in regards to investing in TFSAs or RRSPs, check out my smack-down between the two here.
- RRSP contribution – a lot of my clients automatically max out their RRSP contributions for the year once they determine what their contribution room is. Some prefer to "maximize" their contributions instead, so they will contribute enough to drop down to a lower tax bracket. It all depends on what their financial priorities are for the year, but it is a discussion that needs to happen. Important dates to remember: March 3, 2014 is the deadline for contributing to an RRSP for the 2013 tax year, and your tax return for 2013 has to be filed on or before April 30, 2014. I am saving up my RRSP room and will make the contributions for the next tax year since I only worked for 8 months last year. I'm also working on Pension Adjustments at work; everyone familiar with what they are??
- RESP contribution – for those who choose to contribute into an RESP for their children's future, the maximum contribution you can make on an annual basis to receive the full 20% match from the government (in the form of the CESG) is $2,500. If you have not made the full contribution every year, you can also make catch-up contributions as well! To find out how much catch-up room you have, call 1 (888) 276-3624! For more information on RESPs, check out my post here, and see if you are eligible for any other additional grants that are available. Free money from the government is always a good thing!!
- Asset allocation – this is also the time to determine if your current asset allocation is reasonable for your financial goals. Check out this post to determine your own basic asset allocation. If this is the year you choose to become a Do-It-Yourself Investor, check out my posts about Mutual Funds (I, II, III) and ETFs (I, II) to help you start your journey!
- Credit report – time to get your annual credit reports! I will be getting mine through Equifax (find the step-by-step instructions here) as well as TransUnion (find the step-by-step instructions here) this year as well. I wonder if it might make sense requesting one at the beginning of the year, and the other one in 6 months so I will always be checking my reports twice a year rather than once a year. This way, I will realize something is amiss sooner than later.
- I don't usually set financial goals for myself, but now that I'm working full-time again, I would like to hit a 50% savings target. This might be a tougher target to hit as I have some big things planned for the year, but it is a start.
Anything else on your Financial To-Do list?
Thanks for reading; I definitely appreciate you sticking around!

Forget Wade Davis… now I want to vote for Frank Williams for MVP!
Overall, [Wade] Davis has allowed a batting average of .139 and a slugging percentage of .149, giving him an "isolated power" allowed figure of .010. I assumed that would be the lowest ever (minimum 50 innings), but it's not. A reliever named Frank Williams for the 1986 Giants had an isolated power allowed of .006. In 52.1 innings, Williams allowed 35 hits—just one for extra bases, a double. (He also allowed just one stolen bases while nine guys were caught stealing on his watch ... wow.) The Giants thought so much of his performance they traded him to the Reds in the offseason for outfielder Eddie Milner.
(Williams' story is interesting but sad. He started one game in his career ... and threw a shutout, as a rookie in 1984. According to this story by Tom Hawthorn of the Toronto Globe and Mail, Williams' best pitch was a slurve of sorts that he gripped deep in the palm of his hand. You can see from the baseball card photo in that story that Williams threw from a sidearm or three-quarters delivery. He took part in tough-man boxing matches in Idaho in the offseason. After his career ended, he explored his Native American roots, but his life fell apart with drug and alcohol use and the death of his twin brother and he eventually ended up living on the streets of Victoria, B.C., and died in 2009.)
Back to Davis. The lowest isolated power figures going back to 1957, from the Baseball-Reference.com Play Index:
1. Williams, .006
2. Davis, .010
3. Jim Johnson, 2008 Orioles, .016
4. Kevin Cameron, 2007, .023
5. Rob Murphy, 1986 Reds, .024

The Message (MSG) | New International Version (NIV) |
1 Does it sound like we're patting ourselves on the back, insisting on our credentials, asserting our authority? Well, we're not. Neither do we need letters of endorsement, either to you or from you. | 1 Are we beginning to commend ourselves again? Or do we need, like some people, letters of recommendation to you or from you? |
2 You yourselves are all the endorsement we need. Your very lives are a letter that anyone can read by just looking at you. | 2 You yourselves are our letter, written on our hearts, known and read by everybody. |
3 Christ himself wrote it - not with ink, but with God's living Spirit; not chiseled into stone, but carved into human lives - and we publish it. | 3 You show that you are a letter from Christ, the result of our ministry, written not with ink but with the Spirit of the living God, not on tablets of stone but on tablets of human hearts. |
4 We couldn't be more sure of ourselves in this - that you, written by Christ himself for God, are our letter of recommendation. | 4 Such confidence as this is ours through Christ before God. |
5 We wouldn't think of writing this kind of letter about ourselves. Only God can write such a letter. | 5 Not that we are competent in ourselves to claim anything for ourselves, but our competence comes from God. |
6 His letter authorizes us to help carry out this new plan of action. The plan wasn't written out with ink on paper, with pages and pages of legal footnotes, killing your spirit. It's written with Spirit on spirit, his life on our lives! | 6 He has made us competent as ministers of a new covenant--not of the letter but of the Spirit; for the letter kills, but the Spirit gives life. |
7 The Government of Death, its constitution chiseled on stone tablets, had a dazzling inaugural. Moses' face as he delivered the tablets was so bright that day (even though it would fade soon enough) that the people of Israel could no more look right at him than stare into the sun. | 7 Now if the ministry that brought death, which was engraved in letters on stone, came with glory, so that the Israelites could not look steadily at the face of Moses because of its glory, fading though it was, |
8 How much more dazzling, then, the Government of Living Spirit? | 8 will not the ministry of the Spirit be even more glorious? |
9 If the Government of Condemnation was impressive, how about this Government of Affirmation? | 9 If the ministry that condemns men is glorious, how much more glorious is the ministry that brings righteousness! |
10 Bright as that old government was, it would look downright dull alongside this new one. | 10 For what was glorious has no glory now in comparison with the surpassing glory. |
11 If that makeshift arrangement impressed us, how much more this brightly shining government installed for eternity? | 11 And if what was fading away came with glory, how much greater is the glory of that which lasts! |
12 With that kind of hope to excite us, nothing holds us back. | 12 Therefore, since we have such a hope, we are very bold. |
13 Unlike Moses, we have nothing to hide. Everything is out in the open with us. He wore a veil so the children of Israel wouldn't notice that the glory was fading away - | 13 We are not like Moses, who would put a veil over his face to keep the Israelites from gazing at it while the radiance was fading away. |
14 and they didn't notice. They didn't notice it then and they don't notice it now, don't notice that there's nothing left behind that veil. | 14 But their minds were made dull, for to this day the same veil remains when the old covenant is read. It has not been removed, because only in Christ is it taken away. |
15 Even today when the proclamations of that old, bankrupt government are read out, they can't see through it. Only Christ can get rid of the veil so they can see for themselves that there's nothing there. | 15 Even to this day when Moses is read, a veil covers their hearts. |
16 Whenever, though, they turn to face God as Moses did, God removes the veil and there they are - face to face! | 16 But whenever anyone turns to the Lord, the veil is taken away. |
17 They suddenly recognize that God is a living, personal presence, not a piece of chiseled stone. And when God is personally present, a living Spirit, that old, constricting legislation is recognized as obsolete. We're free of it! | 17 Now the Lord is the Spirit, and where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is freedom. |
18 All of us! Nothing between us and God, our faces shining with the brightness of his face. And so we are transfigured much like the Messiah, our lives gradually becoming brighter and more beautiful as God enters our lives and we become like him. | 18 And we, who with unveiled faces all reflect the Lord's glory, are being transformed into his likeness with ever-increasing glory, which comes from the Lord, who is the Spirit. |

your divs need to be styled for themselves.
<div id="name">
then the css would be something like,
#name {
float : right;
Also, I'm not a MSIE basher per se but where there are failings, which cause me grief, I'll not stick up for it either. If you were to download Firefox or Opera and design on it, then the oddities that might remain and which need to be sorted for the site to work OK in MSIE as well; these will be fewer than if you have designed in MSIE.
That's my experience and I have saved a load of frustration and time by doing it this way.
