The World's One and Only Hippie Memorial
Created by the late Bob Moomaw. Bob worked as a railroad clerk and tax assessor, but did not like either job. As an eccentric, independent artist with strong beliefs, he was able to give voice to his feelings, passions, and opinions through his art and the writing on the sides of buildings. He created the 62-foot-long artwork starting in 1992 to say something about his life and the era during which he lived. A nearby marker gives an interpretation of his work.

We are also thrilled to welcome tourists to our region who have come to explore Amish Country and include in their itinerary a look at a couple of non-Amish, ½ Greek sisters who make candy the old-fashioned way, too. During summer, people flock to our hundred-year-old soda fountain (homemade ice-cream!) and are delighted that we serve good food for lunch every day from 11:00 to 3:00. We also welcome buses, and crazy Devon is almost always on hand to stand on a chair to give her "speech" about the store's history and offer big groups a tour of the candy room.

In that case it's often best to run hard in the other design direction and celebrate it in plain sight, make the bathroom part of the plan and a piece of the experience. Celebrating "unwanted" things is one of my favorite design tricks.
A vent fan is the way to get the moisture out of the house. I repeat, out of the house. Don't get me started on how many times I've seen bathrooms vented into the attic or another hidden space. Your attic may be hot or cold, but it's still technically inside. Get that moisture outside with the rest of the clouds!
And consider the plumbing, too. While drain lines and electrical services aren't all that cool to look at, copper supply lines (water lines) can be gorgeous. If you've got an open structure, it's sometimes easiest — and awesome-est — to make the most of what you've got.
Exposing pipes can be a cool way to make a basement space feel industrial or like a man cave. It's also way easier than building soffits and bulkheads to hide everything. If you're a building geek like me, it's best to design a space where you can see the working parts.
While hollow-core doors can be fine for certain rooms, I try to use solid-core doors for the bathroom to keep the bathroom experience as much of a one-person affair as possible. Solid-core doors deaden the sounds created in the bathroom. So if you're having a book club meeting or poker night down there, a solid door and insulated wall framing that both deaden sound are nice for everybody.
So when I go into a small space, I'm always thinking about how I can use it smartly, use it vertically and make everything look like it's supposed to be there.

Aortic valve stenosis and other valve problems
Rheumatic fever can cause scars and thickening of the valve. This can cause aortic valve stenosis to occur along with other valve problems, particularly those that affect the mitral valve, which regulates blood flow between the left atrium and the left ventricle.
When aortic valve stenosis causes heart failure, blood can back up into the right side of the heart and can cause problems with the pulmonic and tricuspid valves, although these are quite rare. Most commonly, problems with the aortic valve occur along with mitral valve regurgitation (a leaky mitral valve). Because the aortic and mitral valves flank the left ventricle and are involved in regulating blood flow to the rest of the body, one valve would affect the functioning of the other.
Multivalvular involvement is caused most frequently by rheumatic fever. And a variety of syndromes can be produced by different combinations of valvular abnormalities. Different conditions may affect each valve, such as an infection on the aortic valve and mitral valve regurgitation.
One valve problem can "mask" another. When blood arrives from your lungs, it enters your left atrium, passes through the mitral valve into your left ventricle, and then gets pumped out through your aortic valve. Because the blood passes through the mitral valve first, the problem with your mitral valve will typically be more prominent than aortic stenosis, essentially because it is "upstream." In fact, the problem with your mitral valve may actually "mask" your aortic stenosis, making it hard for your doctor to detect.
What happens if you have mitral regurgitation and aortic stenosis?
Mitral regurgitation and aortic stenosis together form a potentially dangerous combination, although it is relatively rare for the two conditions to occur at the same time. When they do occur together, it is typically as a complication of rheumatic fever.
Mitral regurgitation refers to the leaking of blood from the left ventricle back through the mitral valve because of improper or incomplete closure of the valve. If the mitral valve is leaking, when the left ventricle contracts it will force blood backward into the left atrium, making it even harder for the ventricle to pump enough blood forward through the narrowed aortic valve. This speeds up the development of serious complications by accelerating:
- Overfilling of the left atrium, which stretches out (dilates) the heart muscle and causes an irregular heartbeat (atrial fibrillation).
- Backup of blood behind the left ventricle, leading to pulmonary hypertension, pulmonary edema, and right-sided heart failure.
- Deterioration of the left ventricle's ability to pump enough blood out to the body, leading to heart failure.
Also, atrial fibrillation can prevent the left atrium from providing a "boost" of blood that helps supply the left ventricle with enough blood to pump.
Severe aortic stenosis can cause mitral regurgitation or make it worse. As the left ventricle begins to tire from the effort of pumping blood through the narrowed aortic valve, eventually the pressure overload in the ventricle begins to stretch out the heart muscle. This stretches the base of the mitral valve, preventing the valve from closing properly and causing regurgitation.
What happens if you have mitral stenosis and aortic stenosis?
Mitral valve stenosis and aortic valve stenosis almost always occur together as a complication of rheumatic fever. Mitral stenosis is a narrowing of the mitral valve, which restricts the flow of blood from your left atrium into your left ventricle. If you have mitral stenosis along with aortic stenosis, the two conditions can have a significant effect on the health of your left ventricle.
Essentially, your mitral stenosis restricts the flow of blood into your left ventricle and your aortic stenosis restricts the flow of blood out of your ventricle, causing the ventricle itself to become small and stiff, with thickened walls (hypertrophy). Because the mitral valve is narrow, the left atrium cannot pump a sufficient "boost" of blood into the left ventricle, making it even harder for the left ventricle to pump enough blood through the narrowed aortic valve.
What happens if you have aortic regurgitation and aortic stenosis?
Aortic regurgitation occurs when the aortic valve does not close properly and blood leaks back into the left ventricle. When aortic stenosis and regurgitation occur together, the effect of one of the two problems is usually more pronounced. If aortic stenosis is the dominant problem, it is similar to having aortic stenosis alone. If aortic regurgitation is the dominant problem, then it is like having aortic regurgitation alone.
The one exception is that if both problems are severe enough to affect the left ventricle, the effect may be significant enough to require valve replacement, even though neither problem alone would have required surgery. It is important to note that multiple valve problems are most serious when both valve problems are moderate to severe. But aortic stenosis can actually make other valve problems worse over time.

Can't install Qt SDK
I'm getting the following error:
Error during installation process (com.nokia.ndk.documentation.harmattan):
The collection file '/Users/agnar/.config/Nokia/qtcreator/helpcollection.qhc' is not set up yet!
I've tried installing both from online and offline installer, and both to /Users/<user>/QtSDK and to /Developer/SDKs/QtSDK, but nothing helps. (I prefer the latter location).
What's wrong?
9 replies
There is a ~/.config/Nokia/qtcreator/ directory on my disk. I don't know when it was created, and who created it. All directories (from .config and down) has owner "root" and group "staff" and is no writable to anyone else than owner.
I fixed the write permissions of this directories but ran into other problems:
First, the installer was unable to run the …/QtSDK/Madde/postinstall/postinstall.sh script.
Running it from command line as root went fine (at least no errors).
Then this came up:
Error during installation process
The output of
/Developer/SDKs/QtSDK/Simulator/Qt/gcc/bin/qmake -query
is not parsable. Please file a bugrerport with this dialog http://bugreports.qt.nokia.com.
output: ""
Comes a lot of times during install, Pressing [Ignore] on all of them makes the installer complete eventually.
It is known bug: https://bugreports.qt.nokia.com/browse/QTSDK-800
That "known bug" is close since "it can not be reproduced", unfortunately.
I met the same problem yesterday… and solved it today. If your .config/Nokia directory is created by root, delete it. Run the installer again, then you will see a new .config/Nokia directory created by you. Just continue your installation and it should work.
I have the same problem, on whatever linus distribution i install qt creator.
I can definitly reproduce it.
since i want to program for maemo nokia n900 i need het hamattan part.
i found that when you run the
harmattan-postinstall.sh by hand
you get the error thet it can not find file
and that is correct is does not exit
the file that exit is
could this be the problem ?
does anyone was able to instal de QTSDK in total on an debian linux system
whitout any probelm ?

I am a stickler for doing things *in context*. Ask my wife – she'll be cooking and ask me to fetch the cooking wine and I'll ask her "why?".

Renegade Roads
Following Wyatt Earp
From Needles, California, to Tombstone, Arizona.
- Written by Johnny D. Boggs
- Published December 01, 2005
Heavily armed men are lying in wait for me when I pull into the Holiday Inn Express—enough to make me nervous.
I try to make it to my room unobserved, but a black-hatted hombre tracks me down and instructs me to mosey over to the lobby.
A Colt Single Action Army is a mighty good persuader. Which causes me to think:
It's a lot easier to pack iron in Tombstone, Arizona, today than it was when the Earp brothers called the shots.
Wyatt Earp is still The Man.
I don't mean Hugh O'Brian or Kurt Russell, but the bona fide Wyatt, whoever he was. Love him or hate him, no one ignores him 124 years after a 27-second set-to hurled three men into eternity and Wyatt Berry Stapp Earp into Western folklore.
Wyatt brings out more passion, and the historian, in all of us than any other Old West figure. I spent an hour in San Diego, California, talking to a man who had opened an Earp museum. In Parker, Arizona, a resident gave me tours of Earp's old mining claims across the Colorado River in California. In Tucson, I listened to an impassioned Earp-o-phile berate my boss as an Earp hater. ("No," I argued, "you've never heard him sing the Life and Legend of Wyatt Earp theme song.")
And now I'm in Tombstone, waylaid by vigilantes.
California connection
My Earp trail starts in Needles, California. Actually, the real Earp journey begins in Monmouth, Illinois, where Earp was born in 1848, and continues all across the West before ending at Colma near San Francisco, where Earp's ashes were interred in the Hills of Eternity Cemetery in 1929 (wife Josephine Marcus was buried there, too, in 1944).
Alas, with gas prices as volatile as Doc Holliday's temper, we'll focus on Arizona and southern California.
An e-mail to the Needles Chamber of Commerce about any Earp sites goes unanswered. Well, Needles is better known as the hometown of Spike, Snoopy's brother. Besides, this was brother Virgil's territory. Virgil and wife Allie opened Earp's Hall in the nearby boomtown of Vanderbilt. Virgil even ran for constable of Needles in 1893, but he lost.
Down the road in Colton, however, the Earps are anything but forgotten. In 1864, 16-year-old Wyatt joined his father's wagon train from Pella, Iowa, arriving seven months later in the San Bernardino Valley. The Earps would continue to have a presence in the area.
Colton's home of the Earp Society—a nonprofit group gung ho on preserving the Old West. Part of that preservation comes in the form of Wyatt Earp's Old West Days every October, which is a worthy event for Earp-o-philes.
From Colton, Wyatt's trail leads to Los Angeles. In the summer of 1865, young Wyatt drove a stagecoach between L.A. and San Bernardino, and Wyatt would have an on-again, off-again relationship with the City of Angels for the rest of his life. He peddled his life story around L.A. in the early 1900s, befriended William S. Hart and Tom Mix, and died in a rented bungalow downtown.
Any L.A. trip means heading over to the Autry National Center's Museum of the American West and Hart's retirement home, La Loma de los Vientos, in Newhall. But if you really want Earp country and Earp sites, visit San Diego, where the most famous photo of Wyatt was taken.
In style in San Diego
Wyatt spent many nights at the Horton Grand Hotel back when it was the Brooklyn Hotel. In the 1880s, the Horton—a replica of the Innsbruck Hotel in Vienna, Austria—served the elite while the Brooklyn housed the working class. In the late 1970s, both hotels were saved from demolition, moved brick by brick and stored in a warehouse until they were rebuilt as the Horton Grand Hotel in 1986.
The Horton remembers Wyatt,...

Lower Your Cell Phone Bill
Keep the services you love while saving up to $300 a year, thanks to these smart tactics
By Kelli B. Grant
Special Offers
Most of us are feeling the pinch as our cell phone bills climb higher: For an individual with a service contract, the average monthly tab is a whopping $92, reports J.D. Power and Associates, an information-services firm. While talk time is actually getting cheaper, add-on charges for text and data services and the fact that most households now have multiple mobile lines mean that "owning a cell phone is an increasingly large chunk of the monthly budget," notes Linda Sherry, director of national priorities for Consumer Action, an advocacy group. But it's a chunk you can whittle down by identifying and eliminating unnecessary (and sometimes sneaky) charges. In fact, the bill-comparison site billshrink.com estimates that the average American who has a single wireless line can save $336 a year; the key lies in finding a plan that better suits how much you talk, text, and Web surf. Here, six strategies that will help you avoid common cell phone money pits and save big on that monthly bill:
Shifting "Friends and Family"
When Ann Dalrymple of Boston gave in to her iPhone craving, she switched carriers but kept the same 500-minute plan that she'd been happy with for years. But then the first month's bill arrived, for a whopping $285.37 more than triple what she had expected. "I'd never gone over my allotted minutes before," Dalrymple says. One big part of the sky-high charges: dozens of minutes spent with callers who still used her old carrier and had previously been free under her "friends and family" plan. Now Dalrymple had to pay for every single minute. To avoid this hitch when switching carriers, check which of your frequently dialed contacts will no longer be free as part of your "friends and family" network, and then see which plan will best suit your needs. Doing so takes just a few minutes on the phone and is cheaper than overage fees. And if you still receive a huge bill that makes you rethink your decision, know that carriers let you switch plans, often penalty-free, within your two-year contract even mid-month.
What's more, even those who are loyal to their carrier can learn from Dalrymple's case of sticker shock: To make sure you don't unwittingly go over your allotted minutes and rack up major charges, log on to your account online and set alerts so that you get a text-message or e-mail warning when you're near your limit. Verizon Wireless subscribers, for example, can check how much they've used for free in their online account and set usage controls in the "Manage Verizon Safeguards" section. (There's a $4.99 charge for the latter.)
"Unlimited Service" Offers
Paying for unlimited talk, text-messages, and data may seem to be the best way to dodge the surprise of an unusually high bill. Such plans are, however, quite expensive (up to $100 a month or even more) and are rarely the best fit if, say, only one or two people do the bulk of text-messaging or e-mailing, says Samir Kothari, cofounder of billshrink.com. Instead of signing up all your family's cell phones for unlimited services, assess each person's needs separately; you can usually add services per line as usage dictates a more economical solution.
Tip: If you don't opt for an unlimited plan but have chatty teens, consider parental controls, which allow you to put a cap on a line's activity, although they usually involve a $5 to $10 monthly fee. How they work: Your teen gets a warning before he's cut off at the limit you've set for talking, text-messaging, downloading, and other actions (video bumps up usage especially fast), allowing him to better manage his phone time.
Pricey New Plans
Beware the "free upgrade" of your phone to a newer model if you're currently a low-tech customer. Nearly two-thirds of the cell phones carriers sell these days require an extra data plan for receiving e-mail, using apps, and surfing the Internet easily boosting your bill by $15 to $30 a month, whether you plan to use those capabilities or not. You may just want to say no and stick with the basic model you already own.

"Make no mistake, as someone who used to teach constitutional law, I believe deeply in the separation of church and state, but I don't believe this partnership will endanger that idea," Obama said.
He emphasized that those receiving funds could not proselytize the people they help nor could they discriminate in hiring practices on the basis of religion. Faith-based groups could only use federal dollars for secular programs. And he committed to ensure that taxpayer dollars would only go to "programs that actually work."
These "guiding principles" were aimed at defusing criticisms surely to come from many in the Democratic camp as well as watchdog groups, which have won some court cases where faith-based groups were found using dollars for religious purposes.
"Proselytizing and discrimination in hiring have been two of the big problems with the president's program," says the Rev. Barry Lynn, executive director of Americans United for the Separation of Church and State. "The devil is in the details on whether the Obama plan would fully correct those, but he's moving in the right direction.
"The unfortunate thing is that the idea of giving religious bodies government funding is easily a formula for misuse and politicizing. We've seen that in the last seven years," Mr. Lynn adds.
Religious groups hiring only those of their faith to operate federally funded programs remains a key issue, which Obama's campaign needs to clarify further, says Marc Stern, a lawyer for the American Jewish Congress.

Floating Fish Processing Factories
Floating processors (also called offshore processors) usually are ships or barges that have been converted into floating fish-processing factories. They rarely do any actual fishing. Instead, they buy and process the fish and shellfish caught by other boats.
Floating factory processors usually dock in sheltered bays near areas of major fishing activities. They might remain there for as long as three months at a time. There are often over 100 crew members on board processing everything from bottomfish and king crab to salmon and halibut. After the catch is hauled in, it is sorted, processed, and frozen below deck. Once the ship's holds are full, the ship steams to port, where it docks briefly to unload its frozen catch for further processing or shipping. As soon as it is restocked with supplies, the processor returns to sea.
Because the nature of the fishery means peak times come in waves, there is a good chance you'll be able to make quite a bit of money.
A floating processor worker told us how the pay structure worked on his boat:
"We were just paid by the hour. We didn't get a crew share or anything but we were guaranteed a minimum number of hours of pay each week, even if we didn't actually work them. We really made money, though, when we got busy and worked for several weeks with no days off. This allowed us to work as much as forty or fifty overtime hours per week, all at time-and-a-half pay. During busy periods we would work 12 hours on, twelve hours off, and sometimes even additional hours if we wanted to."
Most floating seafood factory processors are based out of Seattle and operate primarily in the Gulf of Alaska and Bering Sea. Occasionally during a strong Southeast Alaska salmon season (late July or early August), floating processors are moved south to the panhandle in order to help the onshore processing plants.

This is an area that my girlfriend and I have been passionate about and experimented with for the last several years, we've read dozens of books and websites, we've seen every video out there I'll bet. We've come up with a list of favorites crazy sex positions that we absolutely love, that feels fantastic for us consistently, and we've also found that many, many other couples also find these positions to be their favorites. These are the positions that feel the best for both involved, that are most likely to get her to orgasm and possibly even squirt, and I hope you'll enjoy as much of the following freaky-deakiness as we have
1. The absolute best is the first: The Jockey
I love this one. I love it, love it, love it. Why? To be brutally honest: because nothing gets her vagina wrapped around your penis like this one, it practically feels like it's massaging the underside of your dick, I can't tell you how good this feels (and her butt's a nifty sort of cushion that you push up against). Plus, it's just as fantastic for her, this is both our favorite position, and I've found many other couples have found the same thing. The reason it feels so good for her is that the penis is forcefully pushing down on, massaging, the front inner wall of the vagina right where the g-spot it is, it makes for toe-curling orgasms for all involved and sometimes squirting for the girl.
2. The Rodeo aka Reverse Cowgirl
This one is special because I've found an interesting phenomenon that I share with a lot of other guys out there: it takes a lot longer for me to cum with the girl on top (if it happens at all) than it does any other way, and I've found that to be particularly the case with this specific position: if you have trouble lasting or you just want to go and go and go for 45 minutes or an hour straight, this is your position. Oh, did I mention that it feels very similar to the Jockey position from above? Cause it does, it feels awesome. Mind you, when you do this, the girl needs to sort of slide forwards and backwards more than up an down, it works better and she won't get tired anywhere near as quickly.
3. Ben Dover
Fantastic way to take her from behind and it really lets you penetrate deep because of the way her vagina is angled towards you. Best for a quickie because she's probably not going to be able to stay in that position for too long.
4. The Downstroke
Fantastic way to really get some penetration and just pound away on her as hard as you want, plus her legs are squeezed together which makes it feel better for both.
5. The Drill
This is the one to use if you've got a lot of stamina and she really likes getting pounded hard over and over again, some girls can have orgasm after orgasm this way. Lots of fun if you're fit enough to do it long enough.
6. Braced Standing Doggy Style
This is, in my opinion, the best way to have a quickie: she just hikes up her skirt or drops her pants, bends over, and grabs whatever's in front of her: kitchen counter, table, chair, desk, wall, whatever, then he just jumps and humps her from behind like a horny Rottweiler on a bitch in heat, baby!
7. Eve's Ectasy
This is my favorite way to go down on a girl for two reasons, one of which is related to the first:
1. I love the idea of a girl sitting on my face, that is so unbelievably fucking hot.
2. Normally, the problem with #1 above is that too much of her weight ends up on your face and it's very uncomfortable and difficult to get her to balance just right so this isn't a problem, but with this position that problem's solved because she's standing–just be prepared for her legs to go weak when she cums
8. Folded Deck Chair
This is my favorite prone position where you're facing each other, you're pinning her legs up so it's a very dominant position for the man (most women like that) and you can actually pin her arms at the same time too by grabbing her wrists after you've got her legs up like that, and her legs are together which makes it feel better. Just get in position and pound away.
9. Spoons: Probably my second favorite
This one feels almost as good as The Jockey to me and her, plus it's very intimate for some reason and I find that it's particularly well suited to either the second or third time of the night right before going to sleep as it's generally a bit slow and gentle, or to be used when you both wake up in the middle of the night and want to have a little quickie and go back to sleep (it's excellent for this because both of you, especially her, have to move the least to get into position, plus it doesn't take much effort, especially on her part). I highly recommend biting her neck while you do this if she likes that sort of thing
10. The Viennese Oyster
This is an even more extreme version of The Folded Deck Chair from above, you've really got her pinned down for a good drilling now! You can't really see it from the picture, but she's actually got her ankles crossed behind her head so it does require a good bit of flexibility on the girl's part (get a gymnast?).
11. The Prison Guard
Similar to Ben Dover but instead of her having her arms on the floor, you've got ahold of them behind her back and are pulling her back into you hard as you ram her from behind.
12. The Mirror of Pleasure
I personally like this one because it really gets her legs, and especially her thighs, squeezed tight together and it just feels and looks fantastic, so hot, plus it usually makes her feel your penis even better than normal because it's squeezing her vagina onto it from the sides.
13. The Lotus
This definitely is the most intimate position and one that we don't use too often, but there are times when it's just so appropriate that absolutely nothing else can beat it: it's slow, loving, tender, and very, very intimate. The time has to be right, and you definitely need plenty of time with this one since it usually lasts (and you want it to) a long time, but when it's done at the right moment it's the greatest feeling in the world.
HOW to use these positions to achieve G-spot orgasms and squirting
Having good sex isn't just about positions, in fact it's not even mostly about positions–they're just one of many factors that makes sex good, mediocre, or terrible. There are many other things that have to be done correctly for mind-blowing orgasms to take place for both partners, which is what we really want, now isn't it?
One of the things that both men and women want during sex is for the woman to experience a g-spot orgasm, especially if it results in her squirting (which all women are capable of). Let's learn where the g-spot is and how to basically stimulate it with our fingers, and then we'll talk about how to stimulate it with the man's penis during sex using some of the positions above so that the woman can actually have a g-spot orgasm during intercourse (and there might even be a bit of squirting involved as well!).
How to find and stimulate the g-spot
Here's a short (4 minute) video that does an excellent job of explaining where the g-spot is and how to stimulate it with simple graphics, have a look at this first:
Now, figuring out how to hit the g-spot during sex is very simple with what you already know, imagine that the man's penis is the finger you see there–which positions do you think would best stimulate the woman's g-spot? And now you know why 'The Jockey' is my, and many many other couples', all-time favorite position, don't you
Whatever the position is, it needs to result in the penis pushing as hard as possible up against that spot on the front of the woman's vagina about 3 inches in–in my opinion, The Jockey does this better than any other one, although The Downstroke and The Mirror of Pleasure also qualify on this basis (go look at them and imagine where the penis is pushing against the vagina). I'll even give away a little secret: there's also an excellent modified standing position that works very well in this regard where the man takes the woman from behind, she stands up as straight as possible (usually with the man grabbing both boobs from behind and pulling her tight against his body) that looks something like The Bodyguard:
There's also another position I've found that works quite well called The Launchpad, though I think this could be improved by using something (such as a couple of pillows) to prop up the woman's behind so she doesn't have to be held there like that:
Squirting is something that's much more complicated and relies on a number of other factors that all depend on the correct technique and the couple having properly prepared, it's honestly something that deserves its own book or an hour long instructional video or something–in other words, something I can't put here. So what I'm going to do is send you over to a friend of mine who did precisely that, he literally wrote the book on how to consistently give women squirting g-spot orgasms. I've known him and his girlfriend for a couple of years now, and based on the conversations I've had with her and the turnaround I saw in their relationship after they got back from Europe (you'll see, there's a whole story here, haha), he is absolutely the real deal. Go check out his site called Hit the G-Spot to Rock Her Body, he's got a ton of information there about how his technique works and what you'll learn, I've used it myself with great success with my own girlfriend and I highly recommend it.

A shift from the make-and-sell to the sense-and-respond business model encompasses a true transformation because it involves changing a firm's basic function from making offers to responding to customer requests, and also changing its structure from that of an efficient machine to that of an adaptive social system. The larger the organization, the more complex the transformation challenge will be, but given the pervasiveness of unpredictability, the survival of organizations will depend on meeting this challenge. This chapter explores the question of how to get there from here.
This chapter is excerpted from "Adaptive Enterprise: Creating and Leading Sense-and-Response Organizations."
learning objective:
To provide some basic questions organizations should ask to assess the need for implementing a sense-and-response business model.
subjects covered:
Business models; Change management; Information economy; Information systems; Information technology; Technological change

Awesome pigmented Colors as usual. Comes with a mini gloss in a dusty rose color that is ok but too sticky. My only wish is UD would quit making chunky glitter shadows!

I was lucky enough to score this product off Urban Decays website on sale for 16$. This comes in a really attractive zippered case opening it up to 6 gorgeous pigmented shadows in them with a tiny lipgloss in the color Walflower which is a nice neutral shade pairing perfect with any color. All the colors are stunning in the palette and soft in texture and glide on like silk. There is plenty of product in each pot. What a great palette to have and easy for traveling as it already comes in a case. LOVE IT!

First off, I LOVE Urban Decay palettes and own quite a few! The feminine palette comes in a really cute purple and black gothic looking zip case. Much better packaging than most palettes on the market and very easy to travel with. All of the colors are pigmented and versatile (I especially love Bordello). I also love that there is a little mirror inside, it really comes in handy! I would definitely repurchase this if I ever lost/misplaced it.

First of all I'm going to rave about the packaging. One of the many reasons I love high end products is because the packaging is so cute and lovable.This particular palette's zip case is a feminine Gothic design that I just can't get over. You can pop the makeup out and use the pouch for other things, and then pop the makeup back in when you want thanks to the magnets in this case. So on to the product. I have tried every shade (Bordello, Skimp, AC/DC, Gunmetal, Hijack and Lost) except for the gloss, which seems to be a pretty basic plumping nude (Wallflower). I just have to say this has given me a whole new outlook on Urban Decay. I have tried out other UD products, but just by swatching these, I found these shadows much more satisfying than other glimmer shadows I've tried before. These shadows are pastel shades and crease shades turned up several watts. They have a very smooth and bright glimmer with metallic undertones (they do have fallout if you're too aggressive or not careful). These are sooo pigmented I don't even know where to begin. I personally like the brown in this palette better than the black because I'm not that great with dark smoky eyes. To be honest though, my favorite shade in this palette is Hijack. It is the only blue to have ever worked on my very dark brown eyes. It lasts a decent amount of time without primer but definitely lasts a lot longer with primer. There is truly no words to describe a few of the shades in here. I feel most palettes haven't even reached this color level. Never seen anything like it in my two years as a makeup junkie.

I love Urban Decay, but I can't get any use out of this product! The pigmentation is great, as usual with the company, but there is so much glitter--everywhere. It is so bad it seems to just jump right out of the palette without even getting disrupted in some way. Once the glitter touches me, it sticks around forever. The light pink color (not on me right now, so I can't recall the color name) is atrocious. It is like buying pink glitter flecks (sans powder) from Michaels.

To make things very confusing, UD has two "feminine" palettes that are completely different. I'm reviewing the palette that just came out at Ulta in a purple and black soft shiny zip closure case. I love this palette because all the shades here work wonderful with my skintone. The shades all have some level of shimmer to them:
Top row from L to R are: Bordello (Mauve), Skimp (warm toned light beige) and AC/DC (plum grey).
Bottom from L to R are: Gunmetal (charcoal silver grey), Hijack (cool toned blue teal) and Lost (taupe).
All the shades come out very pigmented and blend very nicely. A mini Lip Junkie in Wallflower is included which is and nicely pigmented gloss in a dusty pink shade. The gloss is very sticky and I do love the shade but I wouldn't purchase a lip junkie due to the gooey factor. There hasn't been a palette where I can honestly say that I love all shades equally but I do with this palette. What a great purchase and it was only $36.00.

Is Larry Sabato's Crystal Ball Biased?
But how much has he been paying attention On his prediction of the Governor's race, this is the "big news":
The big news in the race for the governor's mansion in Maryland has been the resignation of Gene Raynor from his post on the Baltimore Board of Elections.But that story is over seven weeks old. Nothing about the debates, or the recent ads, or O'Malley's DUI, or the trendline favoring Governor Ehrlich.
How about the Senate race?
Race has played a large part in the senate race in Maryland recently. After a staff member for Democratic nominee Ben Cardin was found to have an online diary containing insensitive racial comments, the National Black Republican Association aired a radio ad that has caused quite a bit of controversy. The ad identifies Martin Luther King Jr. as a Republican and pins the KKK, Jim Crow and other issues on Democrats. After an initial luke-warm response by Republican nominee Michael Steele, his campaign has officially condemned the advertisement. Speculation among political scientists indicates that the ad may not help Steele and may end up hurting his chances because it was so offensive to many in the African-American community. The effects of the online diary and the advertisement have yet to be seen, and in this toss-up contest it could end up going either wayThat's the big news? Not Cardin's abysmal debate performances, or the shameless Michael J. Fox ads, or the Lt. Governor's effective ad campaign, or the recent endorsements in Prince George's County?
One of two things are at play here: Sabato is just spouting off, making predictions based on national trendlines and historical voting trends, or his national inclination is against Republican candidates.
Then again, maybe we know the answer:
He's a professor. He's a pundit. Now some critics are accusing him of being a provocateur.
Larry Sabato, the Norfolk-bred political scientist who is among the most widely quoted academics in America, dropped a very large pebble into the already roiled pond of Virginia politics this week when he joined the debate over U.S. Sen. George Allen's racial attitudes.
The resulting ripples have been spreading far and wide all week.
Sabato, director of the Center for Politics at the University of Virginia, made national news Monday when he alleged on the MSNBC television show "Hardball" that Allen, a Republican, used a racial slur to refer to blacks when he was a U.Va. student. Sabato and Allen were both members of the class of 1974.
Regardless, it really makes me question his methodology in making these decisions. Because any unbiased observer (and I'm not saying that I am) can definiatively say these two races are going one way or the other. The trendlines favor the Governor's re-election and the Lt. Governor's ascension to the Senate, but to say it will or will not happen at this point is purely speculative.

Where: Anchorage, Alaska
Play along: Alaska is known for rugged individualists—and snow—which is why the world's most grueling race takes place here. Every March the entire population of Anchorage fills the streets to kick off the Iditarod. Actually the race really starts the following day in Wasilla, 42 miles north of town, where the snow is deeper. Eighty or so dog teams set out every two minutes to begin a 1,100-mile journey across the most forbidding terrain imaginable—mountains, rivers, tundra—enduring subzero temperatures, blizzards, and winds that can penetrate even the thickest polar fleece. And that's about the last time you'll see the dog teams unless you're a bush pilot—or you've booked a room at Winterlake Lodge, 200 miles outside of Anchorage and inaccessible by road. It sits on the Iditarod Trail (in fact, one of the checkpoints is on the property), and co-owner and chef Kirsten Dixon is probably the most famous cook in Alaska. Pack some of her smoked wild salmon and watch the dogs mush by.
How to score tickets: Another free one—except for the price of really good cold-weather gear.
When: Every March.
For more information: www.iditarod.com
Winterlake Lodge
Tel: 907-274-2710
Four-night Iditarod packages start from $3,120 per person, including transportation by bush plane and meals.

Effective November 24, 2014 Morgan Lewis & Bockius LLP and Bingham McCutchen LLP have concluded a transaction. Visitors seeking information on this page should visit the corresponding page on the Morgan Lewis & Bockius LLP website.
Asia Chronicles, Oct. 14, 2010 — Continuing the strategic growth of its financial services capabilities in Asia, Bingham has expanded its Hong Kong office with the addition of three partners: Laurence Isaacson, Vincent Sum and Mark Fucci. According to Chairman Jay Zimmerman, Bingham's investment reflects a growing need within the financial services industry for high-level legal counsel based in Asia. He noted the increased capability in Hong Kong and Tokyo, where Bingham is the fourth-largest full-service law firm with 75 lawyers. "With our exceptional on-the-ground talent and integrated global platform, Bingham is well-positioned to serve clients facing sophisticated legal issues related to doing business in Asia," said Zimmerman.
Isaacson, a recognized leader in structured finance, represents clients in a wide variety of complex asset-based transactions, including collateralized debt, loan, swap and fund transactions; structured products backed by a variety of financial assets; credit linked notes; complex credit derivative transactions; and other structured vehicles. "Expanding our U.S. and U.K. strengths in structured finance to Asia allows us to focus our abilities to advise clients on complex asset-based transactions," said Isaacson. Sum, who joined Bingham from Hogan Lovells in Hong Kong, where he led the debt capital markets practice, has extensive experience in structured transactions, derivatives, structured credit, retail and non-retail structured funds, and debt capital markets. "Bingham is a market leader in structured transactions," said Sum. "The firm's focus and dedication of resources to Hong Kong and Asia means we are position to serve our clients with best-in-class lawyers who have critical relationships in the region." Fucci, a partner in Bingham's global Financial Restructuring Group who transferred to Hong Kong from the firm's Tokyo office, has substantial experience in restructurings, insolvencies and complex financial transactions. He has represented creditor clients in a number of major cross-border insolvencies, including Spansion, a case involving parallel U.S. and Japan insolvency proceedings. "Expanding in Hong Kong is a logical evolution of our cross-border restructuring practice, especially with so many of our Hong Kong clients active in Japan," said Fucci.
News of Bingham's expansion in Asia was also reported by Ignites Asia, AmLaw Daily, the Lawyer and IFLR.

panthers/cougars are around one has been seen around iredell county. a couple friends of mine saw it crossing the road one evening. i don't think that they are migrating back this way, most likely the result of someone keeping one as a "pet" and then releasing it or letting it get away. there were some people i lived near in wilkesboro (actually millers creek) a few years back that had quite a few exotic big cats on their property...and we have coyotes in yadkin and surry county now that we didn't a few years ago so new species are moving in. the conditions are right for them to live here, i don't know why they wouldn't/couldn't make a comeback.
The "pet" theory is the best one and what many 'experts' point to if there were actually a handful of Cougars in the foothills/mountians. However, I have been out of college many years now and they could have been re-introduced to the area without my knowledge of it. In the late '90's there was a push by local biologists to re-introduce native species to the Carolinas that were extirpated. Wild turkey and coyotes were still here, they just had low population levels that rebounded nicely. Elk was re-introducted to Maggie Valley in the late '90's and DEFINITELY were extirpated for the Carolinas for hundreds of years.
Anyway, all joking names aside, Cougars would have been a cool name if Panthers didn't stick.
Posted 28 January 2010 - 03:28 PM
BLACK Panthers...no...but Mountain Lions (which are Cougars) & Coyotes yes... I've seen both up here around Boone.
Actually read an article about a month ago in the Observer about Coyotes in Charlotte suburbs...being driven out from places like Kings Mt, Crowder's Mt, and Hickory...
I know I saw one in Boone when I lived there.
