CPMR News: MRERF compensation study for manufacturers' representatives
MRERF needs your help. MRERF strives to continue to provide good research and data to better operate your rep company.
We are going to share some great data on compensation plans for outside sales. (see definitions below).
All information will be strictly confidential and anonymous. Please provide your candid feedback, as accurately as possible.
Everyone who responds to the survey will be entered into a drawing for a one-time $300 coupon for CPMR or CSP!
Please click on the survey link below. It is only 10 questions and should take you 6 minutes to complete. Your input is critical, and the results will be posted on the MRERF website, as well as your own association website. If receive this more than once, just fill out the first one you receive.
The results and data will also be discussed in the CPMR 201 class on Motivational Compensation for Outside Sales.
For the purpose of this survey, use these definitions:
Straight Salary: Outside salesperson is paid a fixed salary ONLY and the salary remains constant for the entire year. Their W2 = Salary. No bonuses, no commission, no pool.
Salary plus Commission: Outside salesperson receives a fixed salary with periodic commission payments which is calculated as a percentage of the commission from their specific accounts. No other compensation, or maybe a very small year-end bonus or pool OK.
Salary plus Bonus: Outside salesperson receives a fixed salary with a period bonus. Bonus can be quarterly, annually, etc... Bonus is not specifically a percent of their commissions.
Straight Commission: Outside salesperson receives commission from their own specific accounts with no salary, OR, they have a recoverable draw (salary) that is then deducted from the commissions that they generate from their accounts.
Pool plan (profit share): A specific amount or percentage of the companies monthly commissions is put into a pool and each outside salesperson receives a percent of that pooled amount. Typically each salespersons percentage is different, based on objective and subjective parameters. Typically no (guaranteed) salary.
Note: You may have a plan that is a combination of the above plans, and we will ask you for those details.
W2: The outside salespersons annual income (reported W2 earnings) and does not include any expenses, car allowances, company stock ownership, deferred compensation or pension.

Science has been studied at Edinburgh since the University was established as the 'Tounis College' in 1583.
In the sixteenth century science was taught as 'natural philosophy'.
The seventeenth century saw the institution of the University Chairs of Mathematics and Botany, followed the next century by Chairs of Natural History, Astronomy, Chemistry and Agriculture.
During the eighteenth century, the University was a key contributor to the Scottish Enlightenment and it educated many of the leading scientists of the time.
It was Edinburgh's professors who took a leading part in the formation of the Royal Society of Edinburgh in 1783. In 1785, Joseph Black, Professor of Chemistry and discoverer of carbon dioxide, founded the world's first Chemical Society.
The nineteenth century was a time of huge advances in scientific thinking and technological development. The first named degrees of Bachelor and Doctor of Science were instituted in 1864, and a separate 'Faculty of Science' was created in 1893 after three centuries of scientific advances at Edinburgh. Chairs in Engineering and Geology were also created.
In 1991 the Faculty of Science was renamed the Faculty of Science and Engineering, and in 2002 we became the College of Science and Engineering, one of three Colleges making up the University of Edinburgh.

@irontoenail - Well, there has been a lot of progress on using technology to practice surgery in the last few decades and I wonder how long it's going to be before surgery can mostly be done with machines.
I don't mean that it will eliminate the need to have surgeons altogether, but heart surgery in particular often needs the most delicate touch possible and a machine is often going to be more precise than a person. I just wonder what the shift will mean for salaries and the number of people going into surgery, cardiac or otherwise, if it becomes more about running and supervising a machine than doing the cutting yourself.

For once, people were strictly observing the gender divisions designated on the bathroom doors according to their actual anatomy.
"That never happens!" my straight friend Seren and her gay co-worker Juan said nearly in unison. Gay bar veterans, the two couldn't believe what they were seeing.
"And no one in the guy's bathroom ogled anybody while they were peeing," Juan added.
The prospect of women dancing burlesque had apparently chased off most of the gay guys, who would have preferred their stripteases burlyesque. Instead, the place was full of dudes like Seren's rocker pal Mike, who, she assured me, never would have otherwise set foot in a gay club. At the moment, though, Mike looked pretty comfortable leaning on the bar next to his drummer, both with Heinekens in their hands.
"It's probably 50/50," Seren said, estimating the gay-to-straight ratio in the "rec room," where people were playing pool and watching Seinfeld on the TVs above the bar.
"Really?" I said, looking at the handful of lesbians mixed in with the tight T-shirted hipsters, thrift-store fashionistas, and longhaired, heavy-metal dudes.
The heteros easily outnumbered the homos.
"Maybe 30/70?" Seren reconsidered. "My gaydar is broken. When I first met Juan, I told him that we'd have tall beautiful children."
My gaydar was working just fine. In fact, I was giving an appreciative eye to three unassuming guys emitting the unmistakable "we're not gay" vibe. That there were three of them was a good sign too. Three, after all, was the magic "safety" number single, they might get hit on; in a twosome, people might think they were partners; and a foursome could mean a double date.
I started to think that maybe I was losing my mojo until Seren shook her pigtails: "They probably assume you're a lesbian."
The lesbians had evidently sniffed me out as straight, and the straight guys, well, I'm guessing they were thrown off by the scent of gay that still lingered in the smoky club.
The only attention I got was from two guys who were clearly not my type. Nor I theirs.
One shaved-headed, chocolate morsel danced his way over to toot his own horn: "I'm 38! Don't I look fabulous?! I'm a Scorpio!"
Then he disappeared as quickly as he came. Typical man.
The other, who also danced over, kicking up his heels as he crossed the dance floor, was Happy Socks, my one-man welcome wagon.
"Dance, honey!" he chirped as I looked up from the puny olives in the bottom of my too-dirty martini with a sour puss. He shook me playfully by the shoulders. "Have a good time!"
By 1 a.m., I was more than ready for the show to begin.
The Lake Worth anarchist crowd, known as much for its alternative approach to fashion and grooming as for public political demonstrations, snagged much of the space up in front by the stage.
Soon, the room went black. A spotlight shone down through the darkness right on me! Was I finally getting the attention I deserved?
Sadly, no.
It was for the woman standing next to me in the white bustier and the holographic Christmas bow in her hair. The music to Peaches' "Fuck the Pain Away" began, and on cue, the diva began singing "Sucking on my titties like you wanted me..."
She picked her way through the crowd to the stage as the spotlight followed. She introduced herself as Lisa Marie, our lesbian MC. Juan noted that the pudgy and self-assured hostess had a Roseanne Barr sort of "let it all hang out" vibe that appealed to him.
"I can smell your salivating pussies from here!" she taunted before breaking into a dance to the song "Camel Toe" as she pulled her black ruffled panties into the groove of her crotch.
I think that was when Juan split for Fort Dix, the club-fortress of cock, where no camel had ever dared set its cleft foot.
"Here's how these things work, for the straight people," Lisa Marie said as she put her feet through leather straps and pulled on a peach-plastic schlong and started thrusting her hips to the music.
After the introductory antics, the first kitty, Renee, took the stage and danced to Nick Cave's "Red Right Hand" in a Chicago-esque performance. Like many of the cast, her hair and makeup said "1930s" while her outfit was clearly modern. In this case, shiny, red, elbow-length gloves contrasted with her black PVC bustier and hot pants.
The dance was as classy as it was seductive, and when she removed her bustier only to cover her breasts with her gloved hands, the round-bellied guy standing next to me griped to his woman, "She's not gonna show her titties?"
"It's burlesque!" his girlfriend reprimanded with no further explanation.
Closing her routine, Renee opened her arms wide and shook her pasty-covered breasts for the crowd, and Big Belly gazed on, unimpressed.

2D-Effect 2 D-Effect is a music group that consist of 2 member DaVon and Derique. 2D-Effect first meet during there freshman year of high school with out knowing the other one could rap. DaVon was attending Taft since the beginning of the school year but Derique came to the school late around April. They first meet in science class because Derique was sitting in DaVon's seat.Soon Derique was known as the schools best rapper as for DaVon he mostly a sleep though his freshmen year and never told anyone he could rap.Through a mutual friend Derique and DaVon began to talk more to the point they exchange number soon after talking on the phone sum more DaVon told Derique he could rap. From then on they spent nights free-styling on the phone at this point know one knew DaVon could rap and there was a talent show coming up and everybody wanted Derique to rap and Derique started to tell everyone that DaVon could rap too, so they planned to do the talent show.They had to come up with a name for what they were going to be called and spent many nights debating the name over the phone . they went through many names but finally decided on 2D-Effect. DaVon was born in the BX to Samuel Azubike and Davina Grey on June 30 1994 and also has a younger brother name is Shon Azubike.When DaVon was 3 his parents split and he his brother and mom moved to Richmond V.A.. DaVon Wasn't always an outgoing person that spoke his mind but always showed some interested in music.Davina Grey (DaVon's mother) Started a group named the V.I.P. club which consisted of DaVon,Shon (DaVon's Younger Brother) and there close Friends. In the V.I.P. club they did raps songs ,praise and worship,dance ,performed plays and was tough life lessons. They performed at events all the time this was DaVons first taste of entertaining and he loved it but had stage fright when he first started performing but got use to it.Soon the v.i.p. club ended and DaVon started messing up and getting in trouble in school and later got kick out of all Richmond public schools so he had to moved up north with his father.He did not have a good relationship with his father so he turn to music as an outlet when ever he was left alone with his father he would throw his head phones in his ear and get lost in the music. Soon he started noticing patterns in the music like setup such as hooks versus and chorus but as for the lyrics well he thought if the people on the radio can do it why cant he so he really tried rapping but only to him self until he meet Derique at the end of freshmen year. Derique was born in Brooklyn on Feb 1,1994 to Pamela Predue and Derick Herriot and also has a younger brother named Christoper Herriot. He moved from Brooklyn New York at the age of 8 to North Charleston South Carolina.Derique came from a family that lives and loves music from hearing story's about how his father almost became a member of new edition to hearing his aunts newest songs today all they to watching his uncle do old gigs on tape. As a kid Derique always loved music from Micheal Jackson to jay-z Theses artist are what drove derique into wanting to get into the music.Derique first taste of hip hop was when he first rapped with his friends behind his house which became an everyday thing which also had a part in driving him into music.That's where it all started for him from there on he keep practicing and getting better he felt he had some sort of and advantage because he knew of the hip hop style from new york and down south so he felt no matter who heard him they would like his rap style .one Day he was watching MTV and jamz and he saw the new lil mama ''lip gloss'' video for some reason it inspired him to really try to further his music and take it seriously so he go some were with it in the future.Later that year he asked his grandmother can he move back to New York to pursue his dreams in music and soon as he moved back to new york he meet DaVon freshmen year. 2D-Effect future goals are to have international fame and have multi-platinum albums while still teenagers. There goal are to completely take the music game by storm while still teens in every genre of music.Derique goals before 2D-Effect are actually pretty much the same he just wanted to be the best rapper in his age bracket as for DaVon he just wanted to be the best entertainer but didn't know how and didn't really try to pursue it until meeting Derique.Another one of there goals were already met by finding some real representation in Solareverything. Another goal of 2D-Effect is to on the next cover of the 2012 Freshman XXL cover also have there 1st mixtape featured on world star hip hop and hot new hip hop and finally the group wants to singed to a major label.

A twin T-DNA system is a convenient strategy for creating selectable marker-free transgenic plants. The standard transformation plasmid, pCAMBIA 1300, was modified into a binary vector consisting of two separate T-DNAs, one of which contained the hygromycin phosphotransferase (hpt) marker gene. Using this binary vector, we constructed two vectors that expressed inverted-repeat (IR) structures targeting the rice stripe virus (RSV) coat protein (CP) gene and the special-disease protein (SP) gene. Transgenic rice lines were obtained via Agrobacterium-mediated transformation. Seven independent clones harbouring both the hpt marker gene and the target genes (RSV CP or SP) were obtained in the primary transformants of pDTRSVCP and pDTRSVSP, respectively. The segregation frequencies of the target gene and the marker gene in the T1 plants were 8.72% for pDTRSVCP and 12.33% for pDTRSVSP. Two of the pDTRSVCP lines and three pDTRSVSP lines harbouring the homozygous target gene, but not the hpt gene, were strongly resistant to RSV. A molecular analysis of the resistant transgenic plants confirmed the stable integration and expression of the target genes. The resistant transgenic plants displayed lower levels of the transgene transcripts and specific small interfering RNAs, suggesting that RNAi induced the viral resistance.

New Delhi: An Indian escaped from the captivity of an al Qaeda linked terror group after being held captive in the southern Philippines for nearly 14 months.
Biju Kolara Veetil from Calicut was abducted in the Philippines, while visiting his in-laws. In July 2012, he miraculously escaped and is now is now safe in police custody, and is in touch with Indian officials, MEA spokesman Syed Akbaruddin tweeted. Veetil also hopes to head back home soon.
It's a huge relief for Veetil's family, who have been pleading for help from the MEA and defence minister, unable to pay the ransom of $ 7,100. But now they know the wait is just for a few days more.
Veetil was found on the streets of Patikul town, according to Antonio Freyra, police chief of Sulu province. Earlier, Freyera had told reporters that Veetil had been killed by the militant group.
However, Veetil's wife Elena had maintained that her husband was safe in the custody of the Abu Sayyaf Group. Veetil's relatives had approached the external affairs ministry and Defence Minister AK Antony seeking their intervention.
The Abu Sayyaf Group, one of the most violent Islamic separatist groups in the southern Philippines, has been pitching for an independent Islamic state in western Mindanao and the Sulu archipelago in the Philippines.
The group is known for kidnapping foreign nationals and demanding heavy ransom for them.

Priory Bay Hotel, Golf & Beach Club
3 | AA Assessed Hotel | Ratings explained |
Recommended by Condé Nast Johansens
Our inspector loved "The terrific ambience created when the hotel is lit by candles, and the private sandy beach."
Located between the popular sailing villages of Seaview and Bembridge, the Priory Bay Hotel is an elegant Virginia creeper clad country retreat that has been built upon by medieval monks, Tudor farmers and Georgian gentry - a timeless English beauty. Within the 70-acre estate there stands a medley of beautifully restored and stylishly decorated buildings, and leisure facilities that include a 6-hole golf course, tennis courts, croquet, private beach, outdoor swimming pool, woodlands and landscaped gardens, giving the Hotel an inspirational 'beach and country club' air to it. Whatever your reasons for visiting, guests to Priory Bay experience a discreet warm and friendly atmosphere leaving them feeling relaxed, refreshed, and ready for the world. The Hotel's inspirational location - nestled atop a small valley overlooking the sea - and beautiful scenery makes it ideal for any occasion.
The Priory Bay boasts the return of Oliver Stephens having previously worked
at Noma (for the past two years) - voted the best restaurant in the world.
Our focus is to source as much fresh produce as we can from the Priory
estate and beach itself as well as using Isle of Wight produce as a focal
point of our cuisine.

Test case TestFileChannel fails when flume is built from paths containing the string "hadoop"
When flume 1.3.0 or 1.3.1 is built from a path that contains the string "hadoop" in it (ie: /home/user/hadoop_components/flume), the test case TestFileChannel fails. The reason it fails is because it can't find the correct location of the hadoop jar file - the function findHadoopJar in TestFileChannel.java looks for the hadoop jar path by searching for the string "hadoop" in the property java.class.path, and returns the first match of the search. This is not necessarily the correct location of the hadoop jar. Would you agree that the right thing to do is to look for the name of the hadoop jar in the classpath (ie: hadoop-core-1.1.1.jar), instead of looking for the string "hadoop"? Best regards, Aline Guedes |


text: Wow where do I go in Detroit. My 4 year old says it about the food and the Detroit Tigers, Detroit Lions and the Detroit Pistons. My 19 year old says that it about the music and Hitsville USA. My husband likes all of the markets and unique clothing. I like it because Detroit is a world of its own. We run away from Lansing, just to escape our normal and we find that we are in Detroit just doing nothing because there is so much. I like the people because they are so strong and unique. Whatever the obstacle, Detroit rises to the occasion and keep it going. But if I have to tell you where we go, family night at the buffet either MGM or Greektown and then we just walk the area until we are ready to sleep. Such culture and night life and culture for all.

Welcome to Nose Contour!
"The Essence of Beauty is Symmetry"
At Nose Contour - the Rhinoplasty Centre, our expert Rhinoplasty (Nose Job) surgeon can give you that much wanted 'natural beauty' by crafting an artistic nose in line with the rest of the facial parts.
Nose Contour is the only Nose Job (Rhinoplasty) Surgery Center in Hyderabad dedicated to the super specialty Rhinoplasty or Nose Job, as it is commonly known. There is no dearth of cosmetic surgeons in India who perform various cosmetic surgery related procedures. However, Rhinoplasty or Nose Job is unique from other cosmetic surgery procedures since it is best performed by a surgeon who also has vast experience with the functionality of the nose apart from performing a normal Rhinoplasty (Nose Job) surgery in Hyderabad, India.
An ENT surgeon is the best resource to perform a rhinoplasty surgery since his expertise includes in-and-out of the nose. Not all ENT surgeons or Plastic Surgeons routinely perform Rhinoplasty (Nose Job). It is important to find one who does. Rhinoplasty (Nose Job) takes considerable experience to get predictable results.
Why Rhinoplasty (Nose Job)?
Rhinoplasty can be one of the most effective forms of plastic surgery bringing aesthetic harmony and balance to the face. The nose is the most prominent aspect of the midface and determines the balance between the upper and lower face.
The visual lines your nasal bridge and tip creates frames the eyes. If this contour catches our attention, instead of blending in, it tends to distract from the natural beauty of the eyes.
There are many aspects of rhinoplasty that can improve your facial appearance, including reducing the overall size of the nose, aligning your profile to a more ideal one, or refining your nasal tip. Dr. Venkata Ramana believes that successful rhinoplasty should always respect the person's desires and the natural ethnic beauty of his/her face and, should never follow some generic design.
Do I Need Rhinoplasty (Nose Job)?
⇒ A nose, which does not "fit the face" whether due to birth, trauma or disease.
⇒ Breathing problems associated with cartilage and/or bone obstruction inside the nose (deviated septum).
⇒ A chin implant may be needed to bring the nose and chin into proportion to facial features.

Environmental Functions
You can use functions to alter the environment of the user. These functions can be added into the .bash_profile of an individual user or in the system wide /etc/profile. It is best to verify the functions have no detrimental impact by using a normal user first as a test base. You will need to enter the functions in the .bash_profile in the following format. In this example two functions have been used and can be called with "dfh" or "duh".
dfh ()
df -h
duh ()
du -kh * | awk '{print $2,$1}' | sort -n | tr ' ' "\t"
Once the .bash_profile has been edited and saved then you can either login and log back in, or source the file.
source .bash_profile
Now the functions should work.

I love the size of this sink. You can easily lay down a full size cookie sheet or baking pan in the bottom. It also makes cleaning pots and pans easier since I don't run those through the dishwasher. There is no way I would use any other sink. The granite guy asked why I went with this sink versus a 2 bowl, I said he's never used a single bowl sink then. They are so much nicer in my opinion. 2 notes though... Watch the height of the waste arm from the wall of the house...if it's too low, you won't be able to use a garbage disposal. I had to use a compact disposal, just barely fit. Also, when switching to a single bowl sink, it might drain slower. Install a Studor vent in the drain line to allow for faster draining. They are around $25 at your local home improvment store.
I was nervous to purchase this sink, thinking it wouldn't be made well for the price. But my father (who is a professional custom kitchen cabinet maker) said it was a great sink for the price and was very sturdy. We were both pleased!
We shopped and shopped and saw numerous sinks this size at more than 2X the cost. This is a great sink and well worth the value. Compared to Kohler, Blanco, etc., hands down this sink is a winner. I'd absolutely recommend this sink to anyone who is remodeling an existing kitchen or building a new home.
This sink has worked out great -- the first one sent had dents in it, but was quickly (within 2 days) replaced by Overstock. Great service. The sink is very large and much better than the split sink we had previously.
This sink appears to be well made. I'm disappointed as the illustration showed the sink with the drain toward the rear of the sink(which is what I really wanted). The sink I received has the drain in the center. In spite of that, I will keep the sink, it's a good sink for the price. No brand names on the box, I cannot find any notation as to country of manufacture.
this is a gorgeous sink. i got this sink w a vigo faucet and it looks so good together. everyone is jealous of how big and deep this sink is. i can wash everything in here. a huge roaster - sure- just plop it in there. huge soup pot - whatever. and the feel of the sink is pretty substantial. i believe the 16 gauge is thicker but its also a lot more expensive so for me this 18 was perfect. if u get a cheap sink -you can drop a fork and u can feel how cheap and thin the metal is. this is a substantial sink. im very happy with it.
I love my new sink. most of my guest coming over and look at my sink they are drool to have one. I'm very happy and satisfied of my purchased.
Purchased Vigo sink and faucet. Both arrived via UPS very well packaged and were easily installed by my contractor during a kitchen remodel. Great sink for the price - larger than any stock item in box store.
This is a good deep utility sink ideal for our new laundry
I found this sink on Overstock and took a leap in ordering it. I don't have it installed yet but it seems GREAT. I was replacing a large laundry wash tub sink and had done extensive research on undermount stainless sinks. I wanted to keep the feel and size of a laundry / washtub sink but didn't want to break the bank on price either. This was the perfect solution. It was almost as large and deep as my old sink and looks fantastic in the box. Can't wait to get it installed!

Jennifer Aniston's long, smooth, side-parted hairstyle has a sexy, barely there bend through the length.
Styling Tip
Combine a dime-size amount of styling lotion with a few drops of shine serum and apply onto damp hair. Blow-dry two-inch sections of hair with a round brush while turning the brush several times to add subtle roundness to the length. Once dry, create a side part and then run a flat iron over one-inch sections for smooth results.

The Cloud Disruption
January 12, 2014
Always great examples Greg.
Perhaps its time to trademark "democratic disruption" as a phrase. We all have equal access and equal ability to be our own disruptors.
Best wishes for a fantastic 2014 mate.

Great post, Greg.
The Cloud is not only technology but rather technical platform for a new system for Management. Really we see the tectonic shift from administrative and directive management to collaborative and cognitive management because of multi-dimensional business environment (which demands new management variety according to W.Ashby's principle of "requisite variety"). So, Cloud is more hi-hume rather than hi-tech phenomena.
A few words about disruptive technologies. If technology is highly technical then it can increase the productivity or open new niche if the market is not saturated and there is a place for potential demand.
But if the technology concerns the human, social or economical aspects it will increase the economical space and initiate the economical growth, new jobs creation and new profits (in contrast to Race against the Machine).
For example, Personal Computing (PCs, gadgets, smartphones, Web-sites) is the humanitarian innovation that led to the creation of new areas of activity (gamefication, entertainment, e-xxx) that change the social and economical standards in the society.
In other words, hi-hume is more important than hi-tech and the main driver in hi-hume is the ethics. As in the past Protestant ethics created the global financial system with its institutions, so today's ethics of Education develops the new virtual world of Internet which is similar to reality and opposite it. But in the virtual world "consciousness determines being", unlike the physical world in which "being determines consciousness". It is a real disruption…

The Pharmacy Compounding Accreditation Board (PCAB) has approved a policy of unannounced surveys of pharmacies up for renewal and on an interim basis.
Retail News Breaks Archives
CARY, N.C. – The Pharmacy Compounding Accreditation Board (PCAB) has approved a policy of unannounced surveys of pharmacies up for renewal and on an interim basis.
PCAB said Tuesday that the policy change is intended to improve the accreditation process and foster greater recognition and acceptance of accreditation as a standard for compounding pharmacies.
Plans call for unannounced renewal surveys to begin on Sept. 1, according to the board.
"Participation in this unannounced survey process is another indication of an accredited pharmacy's commitment to the adherence to quality standards," Joe Cabaleiro, executive director of PCAB, said in a statement. "This sets accredited pharmacies apart from others in their communities and gives the public another compelling reason to select a PCAB-accredited pharmacy."
PCAB noted that accredited pharmacies have expressed support of the unannounced survey policy.
"We are excited to be one of the first PCAB pharmacies to receive the new unannounced survey because it further demonstrates PCAB's commitment to quality and reflects our philosophy to approach every day as an inspection day," commented Eric Everett, owner of O'Brien Pharmacy in Mission, Kan.
Charles Leiter, president and chief executive officer of Leiter's Compounding Pharmacy in San Jose, Calif., also welcomed the unannounced surveys. "This new process helps level the playing field for all of us," he stated. "Now if a hospital, patient or doctor needs a compounded preparation and they select a PCAB-accredited pharmacy, they can feel comfortable with their decision."
PCAB added that it will work closely with accredited pharmacies and new applicants to ensure a smooth transitioning from announced to unannounced surveys.
A nonprofit organization,
provides a voluntary accreditation program for compounding pharmacies nationwide.

Inyo County, California, US
Looking towards the horizon, the valley floor seemed to be a lush prairie of solid daisies, but looking down, the ground was mostly rocks, sand and bare dirt sprinkled with plants here and there. The Desert Gold plants were at least a couple feet apart and stood about thigh high. They were also probably the largest flowers. Many of the other blooms were no larger than the fingernail on my pinky and some were about the size of a freckle. Too bad I didn't have a better macro lens. (Calflora)

Mens Pompadour Hairstyle, A Rockabilly Fav
The most popular rockabilly haircut is the mens pompadour hairstyle. When you think of this type of haircut you may envision Elvis Presley or Frank Sinatra.
In fact, both of these legendary figures were known for supporting this look and for wearing it at different lengths.
The mens Pompadour hairstyle first became popular in the 1950's. It's name came from the lady who invented the style, Madame de Pompadour. It was first a look that you only saw on men. But as the years passed, women began to wear this look as well.
The essential style of the Pompadour is to brush the hair straight back and up. The hair remains this way by using a lot of grease. This is why the men who choose to wear this look are sometimes called Greasers, even today.
When wearing this style, the sides are cut really short and close. The top is left long enough to comb back in a sweeping like manner. This is one reason why the Pompadour haircut was so popular. One could wear it at any top length he choose. The hair can be parted or not. This is the sole discretion of the wearer.
How To Style A Pompadour Hairstyle
Styling a pompadour takes a little practice, but once it is mastered it can be done in just a few simple steps. There are basically two preferred methods of styling.
One method is the blow dry method. One just takes a shower and washes the hair as he would normally. |
This second method is probably the preferred one.
Just wash your hair as your normally would.
Then place a lot of pomade and place it into your hair.
Now create the pompadour with your hands.
To do this you will want to comb your hair back and up. If you wish, part your hair.
Parting your hair can be a challenge the first few times.
To do this, push the hair slightly forward in the front. This will help give the hair a lift.
Comb back the rest of the hair, giving it a blended look.
Remember to always comb your hair upwards.
Comb the sides back.
Mess up the front a bit to give it a tousle look
And viola you just look like you stepped out of the 1950's.
As for getting the grease back out of your hair, many men find that good old dish detergent works fine. But if you wish to try something a little more sophisticated look for some Dax Vegetable Shampoo.
If you have decided that you would like to try this fun loving rockabilly look of the mens Pompadour hairstyle, have no fear of where to go for the cut and the styling process. There are many barbers throughout the world that still caters to this look.

Jarno Trulli and Christian Klien set the fastest times in Sepang this morning, as cooler conditions led to an explosive reduction in lap times in the final practice session ahead of first qualifying.
The Italian was the first man to lap beneath 1m 33s, taking his Toyota round in 1m 32.832s. Klien later almost matched that with 1m 32.870s for Red Bull, and Renaults Fernando Alonso was right behind them with 1m 32.880s to edge out the second Toyota of Ralf Schumacher on 1m 32.951s.
As you can see, this was an unusual session and it is safe to say that several people kept their powder dry ready for qualifying this afternoon.
David Coulthards low-fuel run resulted in 1m 33.092s for fifth place, while Giancarlo Fisichella recovered after spinning and removing the front wing of his Renault (and red flagging the second session midway through), by lapping in 1m 33.194s.
Conditions in the earlier of this mornings sessions were cooler than yesterday afternoon, and Alonso did a Schumacher by setting the pace immediately he took to the track halfway through. His 1m 34.715s best deposed the champion (who was that sessions only spinner, early on in Turn Four), but right at the end Michael lapped the Ferrari in 1m 34.888s to retake a second place lost to Fisichella, who managed 1m 34.930s. Kimi Raikkonen, the Toyotas of Trulli and Schumacher, Juan Pablo Montoya, Jenson Button and the Williams of Nick Heidfeld and Mark Webber rounded out the top 10. There was bad news for Button, however, as he drove into the pits at the end of the session with his Honda engine trailing oil smoke.
The big news of the morning also concerned BAR, who substituted Anthony Davidson for Takuma Sato after the latter developed a fever overnight after an insect bite and was placed on an intravenous drip. The Briton knows the track, of course, after his BAR testing role in 2004, but jumping straight into Satos cockpit for the toughest race of the season was the sternest test he could face.
BAR got him out early to give him as much track time as possible, and within 11 laps he matched the Japanese drivers best of 1m 37.044s from Friday afternoon with 1m 37.049s, which left him 14th.
When the second session got going the times soon tumbled. Raikkonen and Michael Schumacher set the initial pace, before Trulli, Klien, Alonso, Ralf Schumacher, Coulthard and Fisichella moved ahead. Raikkonen ended up seventh, relatively content, on 1m 33.349s, but McLaren team mate Montoya spoiled his low fuel run by running wide under braking in one corner and was only 11th on 1m 33.689s. Separating the two team mates were Williams partners Heidfeld and Webber, and Davidson. Heidfeld went off on his first quick run, but right at the end pipped Webber for eighth place with 1m 33.468s to the Australians 1m 33.517s. Davidsons final best was 1m 33.580s, an excellent performance in the circumstances.
Behind Montoya, Rubens Barrichello was the quicker Ferrari with 1m 33.943s, separated from Michael Schumacher by yesterdays fast man, Felipe Massa. The Brazilian took his Sauber to 1m 34.002s, a tenth of a second quicker than Schumacher. Behind them, Jacques Villeneuve lapped his Sauber in 1m 35.532s before an off-course moment, and Tiago Monteiro was the faster Jordan driver. His best lap was 1m 37.824s, while Narain Karthikeyan recorded 1m 38.126s. Christijan Albers took the Minardi honours with 1m 38.673s, but Patrick Friesacher was right behind him on 1m 38.974s.
The only man not to run in the second session was Button, who now faces a 10 grid place penalty after his fresh after Melbourne Honda V10 had to be replaced.
So now all the preparations have been made, and the long and short runs, with high and low fuel loads, are all over. We shall shortly get a much clearer picture of true performance levels in qualifying, and several people who starred this morning are likely to find themselves a little lower down the order.

Concierge.com's insider take:
The coastal waters off Tierra del Fuego provide Ushuaia's restaurants with a rich assortment of marine creatures ranging from oysters and mussels to lobster and king crab. With a mountainside location giving it a matchless view of the Beagle Channel, Chez Manú infuses local produce with French culinary technique. The local seafood is served simply, while rabbit, duck, and pheasant are paired with bacon, calafate berries, or aromatic herbs. Try the black hake, a local delicacy, or pick one of the feisty king crabs from the centerpiece tank.

Chinese hotels vary in terms of size, how they are run and what they offer. In some of the tourist areas, they tend to be very large, have staff that speaks English and is able to cater for Western needs, although in some of the more remote areas, you may find that English is not so widely spoken. So check out the hotels available with EasyToBook.com and make sure that all your accommodation needs have been met before you travel to China, or you may find it difficult to book a suitable hotel room if you leave it too late.

Les Miserables (Audio Book)
English | Mp3 | 64 KBps | 94 MB | Made for Radio (1937)
Les Mis??rables contains a multitude of plots, but the thread that binds them together is the story of the ex-convict Jean Valjean, known in prison only by his prisoner number, 24601, who becomes a force for good in the world, but cannot escape his past. After nineteen years of imprisonment (4 for the crime and 15 more for four escape attempts) for stealing food for his starving family, the peasant Jean Valjean is released. However, he is required to carry a yellow ticket, which marks him as a convict. Rejected by innkeepers who do not want to take in a convict, Valjean sleeps on the street. However, the benevolent Bishop Myriel takes him in and gives him shelter. In the night, he steals the bishop??s silverware and runs. He is caught, but the bishop rescues him by claiming that the silver was a gift and at that point gives him two candlesticks as well. The bishop then tells him that in exchange, he must become an honest man.
Six years later, Valjean has become a wealthy factory owner and is appointed mayor of his adopted town, having broken his parole and assumed the pseudonym of Monsieur Madeleine to avoid capture by Inspector Javert, who has been pursuing him. Fate, however, takes an unfortunate turn when another man is arrested, accused of being Valjean, and put on trial, forcing the real ex-convict to reveal his true identity. At the same time, he meets the dying Fantine, who had been fired from her job at his factory and has resorted to prostitution. She has a young daughter, Cosette, who lives with a corrupt innkeeper and his selfish, cruel wife. As Fantine dies, Valjean, seeing in Fantine similarities to his former life of hardship, promises her that he will take care of Cosette. He pays off the innkeeper, Th??nardier, to obtain Cosette. Valjean and Cosette flee for Paris. Once in Paris, they find shelter in a convent. Not allowed to search the convent, Javert is unable to find the pair. . .
