At age 40, Eva Herzigova is the new face of Capture Totale.
90/60/92: the ideal ratio, etched in gilt letters onto her name. She is Eva Herzigova, inextricably associated with her perfect proportions, maintaining her place at the zenith of supermodels, defining a level of beauty that belongs to no more than a handful of women in the world. Those golden girls of the 90s can still wow when they take to the runway, and the tales of their meteoric rise to superstardom would make even Cinderella seethe. Propelled to Paris by a model contest in Prague at the age of 16, Eva and her gorgeous face would prove an internationally unstoppable force. A glamorous icon, she's regularly compared to Marilyn Monroe, but Eva views things in a more realistic manner. "Beauty isn't enough on its own; you need to have something more than just that," she claims, and her aspirations go farther than the tip of her perfect nose. She's not just an image - desirable though that image may be - she's a woman in possession of both a stunning body and a love of learning (she speaks five languages fluently), and soon to be an actress. Her take is that while "you can't be a model at 60, you can definitely be an actress." Eva played Olga Khokhlova, Picasso's wife, in the movie Modigliani , then delved into the world of underground cinema with the French director Gaspar Noé.
In 2011, she appeared in the Duran Duran video for Girl Panic! alongside her superstar sorority. It all amounts to measured steps in the world of cinema, giving her the opportunity to develop her own voice and persona, and to extend herself beyond her beauty. "Being passionate about something makes a woman more powerful, and gives her a very special strength," she says. Eva herself admits that having "a twenty-year career as a model is a miracle" . For twenty years the world has been looking at Eva, and she's still that same tall, blonde, healthy-looking, smiling, ever-young woman. Whether sporting scarlet lips or make-up free, sequined gown or bohemian chiffon, she appears to be the poster girl for living well, seizing the moment and attaining ones ambitions. Her unceasing beauty seems to suggest a woman who laughs in the face of the passing of time. If the Capture Total line was a woman, it would be Eva.

text: Just asking ... many say they want change. Many seem to think they are voting for change. They are both in bed with the banks and Wall Street. Both are in bed with major money movers and string pullers. Obama was supposed to be change - he was Bush Light. Bill Clinton actually was change - too bad Monica derailed him. But back to the question ... Is voting for Obama or Romney really going to change or improve anything in our system? :americaflag:

Owens Valley Medicare and Medi-Cal recipients, which comprise at least half of Northern Inyo HospitalŌĆÖs patients, can expect changes in the near future ŌĆō changes in the way their health care is managed and, consequently, provided.
Following federal mandate, NIH is in initial negotiations with Renown Health, a Reno-based Accountable Care Organization, which could result in reduced Medicare claims by initiating a new payment and managed care structure.
According to www.renown.org, Renown Health is a large, ŌĆ£nationally-recognized,ŌĆØ integrated health network and ŌĆ£healthcare leaderŌĆØ that serves Inyo and 16 other counties in northern Nevada and northeast California.
NIH Administrator John Halfen said that ACOs provide less expensive medical care coverage by paying hospitals, doctors and other healthcare providers less money and/or reducing patient-care volume.
The federal Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services defines an ACO as a network of healthcare providers who agree to be accountable for the quality, cost and overall care of its Medicare patients who are enrolled in fee-for-service billing (when patients pay 100 percent of the fee for services they receive). Kaiser Permanente and HealthCare Partners Medical Group are two examples of ACOs.
According to Halfen, the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act mandates that, initially, Medicare recipients will be enrolled in ACOs and, ŌĆ£clearly,ŌĆØ everyone is going to be enrolled in one eventually. ŌĆ£In 14 months, Bishop Medicare patients will get a letter that says, ŌĆśYouŌĆÖre now in (this Accountable Care Organization) and thereŌĆÖs nothing they will be able to do about it ŌĆ" ItŌĆÖs not negotiable. In rural areas, patients will probably still be able to go to (their regular) doctor but thereŌĆÖs no guarantee of that,ŌĆØ Halfen said.
Currently, NIH patients fall into three fee categories:
ŌĆó 50 percent are Medicare and Medi-Cal,
ŌĆó 45 percent are fee-for-service, and
ŌĆó 5 percent are Preferred Provider Organization. A PPO is a group of hospitals and providers who have contracted with an individual, insurance company, etc., to provide care at reduced rates.
ACOs ŌĆ£will initially deal only with Medicare but will end up taking overŌĆØ other patient populations. Some HMOs, or Health Management Organizations, may also become part of these ACOs, Halfen added. Ultimately, the change will affect everyone, not just Medicare patients, because ŌĆ£somebody has to pay the higher costsŌĆØ generated by these reduced fees. Since ACO management is starting with Medicare, the role of existing insurance companies and HMOs is not yet defined, he added. Insurance rates may go up. Again, somebody has to pay.
However, this is not a new concept. Halfen said that 85 percent of healthcare costs are generated by five percent of the population, most of whom are the elderly. Elderly people often have no care givers in the home to prevent injuries and ensure healthy lifestyle practices, he explained. Many times they donŌĆÖt have money for proper, sufficient nutrition or ŌĆ£canŌĆÖt get to the storeŌĆØ to shop for those foods. Often, they canŌĆÖt get to the pharmacy or even afford to fill their prescriptions.
Meeting these and other needs would reduce the number of medical visits this population would make, and thereby ŌĆ£greatly reduce healthcare costsŌĆØ across the board, Halfen said. In any event, healthcare services will be affected by the advent of ACO management. ŌĆ£It will reduce medicare claims by restricting payment to providers, so if giving care is cost prohibitive, they wonŌĆÖt be able to provide it.ŌĆØ
Sierra Crest Hospitals, a group of about 14 rural critical hospitals, including NIH, ŌĆ£are in the early stages of negotiation with Renown so we can be at the ACO table,ŌĆØ Halfen said, explaining that local healthcare providers want to be able to have a say in the changes that are coming. Currently, Sierra Crest Hospitals handles 10 percent of inpatient and 12 percent of outpatient Medicare cases for Renown.
NIH is already preparing technologically for these upcoming changes, with plans to implement an Health Information Exchange. Halfen said, ŌĆ£An HIE is basically a networkŌĆØ that allows patient healthcare information to be electronically stored on the Internet, where it can be shared by healthcare providers, whether they are located within a hospital system or across the world.
NIH has already received the one-time, lump-sum state portion of a federal grant, totalling $3 million to $3.5 million, to help establish the HIE, Halfen said. ŌĆ£Only a handful of HIEs in California are up and running. They arenŌĆÖt (operating) in rural hospitals yet, maybe by 2015. Ours is on the way.ŌĆØ
According to the hosptial administrator, the balance of the grant, the Medicare portion, will be paid out over five years, the first installment of which NIH will receive by the end of 2013. ŌĆ£ThatŌĆÖs how the feds got hospitals to put in HIE.ŌĆØ
The grant is part of The American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009, also known as the Stimulus or The Recovery Act.

You and your turkey have something in common: the fear of getting stuffed this Thanksgiving. The bird's fate is sealed, but luckily yours is not. Brace for the impending eatathon by detoxing your diet today. Come the holidays, you'll have your healthy habits in place and will have even shed a pound or two, so overindulging a little at a party (or 10) won't set you back.
But before you think of punishing juice fasts and bizarre herbal potions, relax. We wouldn't do that to you. Not only do such diets not work, but they deplete you as well. "Fad detox diets lack sufficient nutrients and calories, so you wouldn't function at your best," says Kathy McManus, R.D., director of the department of nutrition at Brigham and Women's Hospital in Boston. Besides, she says, most of the weight you lose is water weight and will return once you resume eating normally.
There is, however, something to be said for cleansing your diet of added sugar and saturated fat and passing up alcohol and soda for a week. Our plan, created by SELFcontributing editor Joy Bauer, R.D., does this in a safe, effective way. Instead of so little food that you feel high, our 1,500-calories-daily plan gives you a sustained energy buzz, thanks to complex carbohydrates and lean proteins. Rather than swallowing odd concoctions purported to flush you out, you get whole grains and veggies, which help move waste efficiently through your body. Start now, and by Thanksgiving, you'll have another reason to be grateful: a healthier, slimmer you. —Tula Karras

Comments about TevaSphere Rally:
This 'hiking' shoe is perfect - especially if anti slip properties on rough tracks is required. A kind of climbing or downhill shoe. Lightweight,sturdy and comfortable. The shoe has cured a previously constant sore toe, due to robust design and toe,sole & heel / support protection. Highly recommended, and possibly the best medium distance walking shoe ever worn for safety downhill through Western Australian bush tracks - 'pea gravel' - and across larger loose rocks or other uneven surfaces. The 'arch' protection and grip is quite unique. (The shoe has not yet been tested in the wet as we have not had rain for sometime!)

Great shoes. Light weight and unique design that doesn't take long to get used to. I would certainly purchase again. The down side is that they won't last a season of running or with significant use. The tread wears down quickly.

Reach Your Full Buxom Potential
3 ways to play:
Create a wash of color that sits and stays put exactly where you want it. Glide the brush into Buxom Stay-There Eyeshadow and sweep the color back and forth all over lid.
For intense, vivid play-all-day color, really load up the bristles and pat the eyeshadow onto eyelids. Feel free to put a couple of layers on until you get the coverage you desire—this eyeshadow/brush combo was born for buildable, long-lasting color.
Create a look that will bring them to their knees. First, glide on a lighter shade with a sweep of the Buxom Eyeshadow Brush. (Pat another layer on for more color.) Use another darker shade as an accent color. Pat it into the outer corner and the crease to add contour and depth. Be a good eyecolor owner— keep jar tightly sealed and snug at all times.

updated the driver.... same result
At least for me, OpenCL didn't work...
updated the driver.... same result
OK, the download page is up now for the driver link I posted on Friday :
It says 12.1 but this is really more like "11.11++ or 11.12++" so we may take the version off. Anyways, this is the "same day" driver intended for inclusion in-box with HD 7970 boards.
oleid, if you still have trouble with OpenCL with this driver you might try the AMD developer forum under OpenCL; that's where the AMD OpenCL devs tend to hang out.
warci, I suggest you try some of the steps outlined here:
Specifically pay attention to this:
The installation of Catalyst on Fedora can be a bit tricky, but I have never had too much trouble once I had completed it.Code:yum install kernel-devel kernel-headers gcc gcc-c++
Says the man writing quite happily from his main computer running R600g, but anyway...
Last edited by Hamish Wilson; 01-30-2012 at 07:07 PM.
It seems as if 11.12++ DOES work. Thanks a lot!
thx for the info! the good news is that ati FINALLY has a driver up for download on it's site, but i still get the same result! Tried the whole step by step thing but still no luck. I'm booting from a usb stick and then chroot into my system, so maybe that's giving me problems. I'll give it another go later this evening
My HD 7950 comes in tomorrow. I'll let you guys know if this 11.12+ driver works with it.
My understanding is that 8.921 (aka 11.12+) is the launch driver for both HD 7970 and HD 7950.
BTW, when I open XBMC Eden beta, it defaults to full screen, and for some reason sets itself cloned across three monitors (overriding my eyefinity settings, grrrr). Then, when I hit backslash to go to windowed mode, the desktop just kind of hangs; I can still move the mouse pointer, but I can't control xbmc, or do anything, and have to ctrl+alt+f1 to reboot. Is this an XBMC issue with multi-monitors, or an issue with fglrx? It works fine in Windows.
Are you really sure about the kernel support? I only had to patch nvidia to support 3.3rc1+ recently. But that was just the conftest.sh script. For fglrx you definitely did not need to patch anything for some time. Maybe try 3.2.4 kernel, thats the first that actually works on my netbook. Most likely 3.2.3 got the real patches, but 3.2.4 was out with 2 reverted just a little bit later.

Customer Raves & Reviews
Wonderful Quality, Wonderful Price...and Fast!
Autumn's Palette Save the Date Postcards I loved the fact that I could customize this product. There were lots of templates to choose from, all well designed. My only qualm was the size of the photos. I did have to resize my photos to fit and I wish the photo boxes were a little bigger given the size of the post cards. The size of the postcard however does make your save the date stand out from others; I have 3 other friends with similar but smaller post cards hanging on my fridge. Other than that, this product was just what I wanted for my wedding theme. And I literally received the product in a week of ordering. Fast, convenient, tasteful.
Perfect, just what I was looking for

New Orleans, La (NBC 33) — A Houston woman has been missing for several days after she went off alone in New Orleans. We're told she has a medical condition and is in need of medication.
The New Orleans Police Department reports that Cynthia Rosales-Soliz, 31, traveled with her boyfriend to New Orleans. Her boyfriend told authorities that he last saw her on Monday, Feb. 4 near the French Quarter.
Officials tell us the couple had gotten into a verbal argument. Rosales-Soliz became angry and allegedly got out of the vehicle and walked away. Her boyfriend attempted to locate her, but never found her. That's when he called for help.
Rosales-Soliz is described as a Hispanic female, with reddish brown hair, approximately 5'7" tall and weighs approximately 170 pounds. She was last seen wearing a pink Texan jersey with the name Watt and #99 on the back, blue jeans and a blue hoodie with a Texan logo and the name Foster and #23 on the back.
Cynthia has five colored stars tattooed along her right arm and the name "Luis" tattooed across her lower back. She also has a picture of an angel, the name "Chris" and the name "Gabriel" tattooed on her right foot.
Anyone with information on the whereabouts of Cynthia Rosales-Soliz is asked to call (504) 821-2222.

Robert and Anna Brown have been inviting students to their home in a small village for the last 5 years.
'We met each other in Ethiopia, and we return there from time to time, so we've always been interested in people from other countries and cultures.
'Since joining HOST we have met such interesting young people, in ones and twos, from countries as diverse as Hong Kong, Kazakhstan, Germany, Turkey, Canada, Saudi Arabia, Russia and Mexico.
'We offer HOST 2 or 3 weekends a year, sometimes Christmas. Most recently, in April, we went mad and invited three assorted male students at once. They were all post-grads. Xiongfei from China is doing a PhD in Public Health; Ramiro from Mexico is into Business Intelligence; and Pascal from Monaco is a lawyer. Everyone got on brilliantly, and we felt it was our best HOST weekend ever.
'But each individual was fascinating in his own right, so if we had only had space for one, we would still have enjoyed the weekend very much. Our recommendation? Just give HOSTing a try! We did, and we love it.'

Doing Business with the Council
Torridge District Council currently spends approximately £10 million annually on a wide range of goods and services. The Council has adopted the Devon Districts Procurement Strategy which provides the framework for procurement throughout the Council.
This procurement strategy defines the role of procurement in the delivery of the individual councils' strategic objectives and is supported by the individual councils' procurement policies as well as it joining up deliverables where possible. The partnership vision is core to the Devon Districts Procurement strategy:
"By working together to deliver customer focused quality services that provide benefit to the community at a lower cost"
The strategy forms part of the arrangements the councils have made for Best Value under the Local Government Act 1999 and compliance with it is mandatory.
The full strategy can be found in the downloads section on the right hand side of this page

In order to obtain best value for this spending, a significant proportion is under contract. Details of all contracts valued in excess of £25,000 are now available in the on this website. The Register provides details of past, current and proposed contracts and includes contacts for enquiries.

Local suppliers are encouraged to tender for our business wherever possible. Torridge District Council encourage the work of small businesses and have signed up to the SME Concordat in support of these businesses.
Members of the Procurement Team are bound by the Code of Ethics of the Chartered Institute of Purchasing and Supply (CIPS)
eTendering with Torridge District Council
Torridge District Council now uses 'ProContract' electronic tendering through the Supplying the South West Procurement Portal at www.supplyingthesouthwest.org.uk when procuring selected services, goods and works. This new portal results from a merger of local procurement portals including Devon Tenders. Those already registered on Devon Tenders do not need to re-register with Supplying the South West.
Contractors and suppliers are strongly encouraged to register online with Supplying the South West which is free. This regional portal gives you a one-stop shop window on contract opportunities from a growing number of councils in the South West.

FLASHBACK: 45 Years Ago - The Beatles Begin Recording 'The White Album'
Thursday, May 30, 2013
It was 45 years ago today (May 30th, 1968) that the Beatles began recording their 30-song self-titled double album, which is commonly known as "The White Album."
The album's first session was for John Lennon's "Revolution 1," which was recorded in London at EMI's Studio Two, with the session stretching from 2:30 p.m. to 2:40 a.m. the next day. It was the group's first studio work since returning from Rishikesh, India after an extended stay to study transcendental meditation under the Maharishi Mahesh Yogi. In 2009 a near-10-minute version of "Revolution 1" made the rounds of underground collectors -- the majority of which stems from the May 30th session.
Most of the songs from "The White Album" were written while the group was in India, including "Back In The U.S.S.R.," "Yer Blues," "I Will," "The Continuing Story Of Bungalow Bill," "Rocky Raccoon," "I'm So Tired," "Ob-La-Di, Ob-La-Da," "Dear Prudence," "Mother Nature's Son," and Lennon's thinly-veiled attack on the Maharishi, titled "Sexy Sadie."
Other highlights on the album included "While My Guitar Gently Weeps," "Julia," "Helter Skelter," "Glass Onion," "Martha My Dear," "Birthday," and Ringo Starr's first composition, the country-flavored "Don't Pass Me By."
Several songs originally intended for the "White Album" turned up on later solo albums, such as "Junk" which Paul McCartney released on his 1970 solo debut McCartney, "Child Of Nature" which John Lennon rewrote as "Jealous Guy" for his 1971 album Imagine, "Not Guilty" which made its way onto George Harrison's 1979 self-titled album, and Harrison's "Circles" which finally saw release on his 1982 album Gone Troppo.
Producer George Martin says that the album still sounds more like the work of four solo artists rather than one unified band: "They came back from abroad. . . They'd been away for quite a while after the death of (manager) Brian Epstein. They came back and presented me with 33 songs, which they all wanted to record at once, literally. They said, 'Well, you've got another studio. George has something going in one studio, and I can go in another,' says Paul. I was running from one studio to another, doing a kind of executive role."
Martin recalls that the material seemed to not be up to their usual standards when they first presented it to him: "A lot of the recordings, they would have a basic idea, and then they would have a jam session to end it, which sometimes didn't sound too good. But this was fairly small criticism. When they did 'The White Album,' I thought we should have made a very, very good single album out of it, rather than make a double album out of it. I think it was an album that could have been a fantastically good album if it had been compressed a bit and condensed. But a lot people I know think its the best album they made. So, it's not my view."
Paul McCartney doesn't buy into Martin's revisionist beliefs that it could have made a single album on par with Revolver and other single-disc Beatles masterpieces: "Well, y'know, you can always say that. Perhaps I'll go with -- but not definitely -- in fact I think it's a fine little album. I think the fact that it's got so much on it is one of the things that's cool about it, 'cause they're very varied stuff, y'know 'Rocky Raccoon,' 'Piggies,' 'Happiness Is A Warm Gun' -- that kind of stuff. I think it's a fine album. I'm not one for that: 'Maybe it was too many of that -- what do you mean? It's great, it sold, it's the bloody Beatles' 'White Album' -- shut up!"
With tensions in the band high between the Beatles, the group's longtime engineer Geoff Emerick quit the sessions rather than face further attacks by the band. Engineer Chris Thomas stepped in and later went on to produce key albums for the Sex Pistols, the Pretenders, Pete Townshend and McCartney. Emerick was asked if he ever regretted his decision to miss out on engineering White Album and Let It Be classics such as "While My Guitar Gently Weeps," "Back In The U.S.S.R.," and later on, "Get Back" and "The Long And Winding Road": "Not at all. And thinking about it afterwards, I think it was good because it certainly jolted them. It's something that should have been done a long time ago. Looking back, I'm glad I did it. I didn't lose any respect (from them) because I went back and worked at (the Beatles' company) Apple and recorded (their album) Abbey Road."
The Beatles' "White Album" was released on November 22nd, 1968 and went on to top the charts for nine non-consecutive weeks beginning on December 28th.

Washington, DC —
The Foundation for Advancing Alcohol Responsibility announced today that an esteemed panel of judges chose Kylee Darcy's "What You Don't Know" as the Reel Girls, Real Life grand prize winner. The Foundation for Advancing Alcohol Responsibility, a national not-for-profit organization dedicated to fighting drunk driving and underage drinking, conducted a contest for their program Girl Talk: Choices and Consequences of Underage Drinking. Girls, ages 15-18, entered the contest by submitting a concept video for a commercial designed to persuade teen girls not to drink alcohol. Kylee Darcy's winning concept will be produced and distributed as The Foundation for Advancing Alcohol Responsibility's first Girl Talk national commercial. Darcy, from Fairfax, CA, will receive $5,000 and The Foundation for Advancing Alcohol Responsibility will fly her and a parent or guardian to film the commercial with the pros.
Additional awards include:
First Runner-Up ($2500)
Kira LaCoss - Hollis, NH
Finalist ($500)
Kerri Kehl - Tucson, Arizona
Dorene Ahmad - Brooklyn, New York

"The Foundation for Advancing Alcohol Responsibility is thrilled to honor Kylee Darcy's "What You Don't Know" as the Reel Girls, Real Life grand prize winning commercial, which serves to give young women a voice in this initiative to stop underage drinking and promote a healthy lifestyle," said Foundation for Advancing Alcohol Responsibility Chairman, Susan Molinari. "Darcy's concept, which aims to highlight the dangerous consequences that her peers might not know about alcohol, was also chosen as the "Public's Vote" winner by more than 20,000 online voters. She is to be congratulated on her efforts to fight underage drinking among teen girls nationwide."
Darcy is a freshman at UC Berkeley where she is a member of PR Club, PreMed Club and Pi Beta Phi Sorority. A U.S. National silver medalist and Western U.S. gold medalist in Latin and Ballroom Dance, she submitted her winning Reel Girls, Real Life entry while attending Sir Francis Drake High School in San Anselmo, California.
"I'm so excited to have won the Reel Girls, Real Life contest! I hope that my commercial will inspire teen girls nationwide to talk to their moms, and each other, about the dangers of underage drinking," said Darcy.

Library will entertain during school vacation week
Thursday, February 21, 2013
DOVER — February School Vacation Week at the Dover Public Library kicks off with a family-friendly classical music concert on Saturday, February 23 at 11am.
On Tuesday, February 26 at 10 am, actress, writer, and puppeteer Nicola McEldowney will perform "Ferdinand", a puppet show based on the heart-warming children's tale The Story of Ferdinand by Munro Leaf. The story is about a sweet-natured bull named Ferdinand who'd rather smell the flowers than lock horns with other bulls and fight. Nicola, a graduate of Columbia University, studied theater at Sorbonne-Nouvelle University in Paris. In 2011 she was commissioned by Columbia's Department of East Asian Languages and Cultures to create their first-ever departmental puppet show, for which she was awarded a Gatsby Charitable Foundation Arts Grant. Sponsored by The Friends of the Dover Public Library, Nicola's performance is free and open to the public.
A "Drop-in" Story Time will be held in the library's Lecture Hall on Wednesday, February 27 at 9:30 am. All are welcome to attend this session of stories, songs, and finger plays chosen for 3-5 year-olds.
And don't forget to utilize the library's museum membership passes (allowing free or discounted admission) contributed by the Friends of the Library.
Passes for a total of 15 area museums are available, but five of these will especially appeal to children: The Children's Museum of New Hampshire right here in Dover, the McAuliffe-Shepard Discovery Center in Concord, the Museum of Science and New England Aquarium in Boston, and the Seacoast Science Center in Rye. Dover Public Library cardholders may reserve a pass by calling the Children's Room at 516-6052.

Do you want to know the easiest way to generate a ton of leads for your MLM Business? So easy that even a Caveman could do it? It begins with understanding the process of lead generation and attraction marketing. In this article you will go over what you need to know so that you can generate a ton of leads and not look stupid doing it.
Knowing how the entire customer cycle works and how they go about the buying process is the best way to achieve positive results. Consumers typically look for information after considering your offer, then making the buying decision afterward. You can target both your ads and content around this knowledge, which means you get the sales.
Respect people's requests when it comes to privacy and opting out. Ensure that those leads you are generating haven't opted out of receiving offers. Sending stuff to uninterested parties is a waste of your time and disrespectful of others' privacy. This shouldn't be happening to you because you are using attraction marketing, which brings the targeted leads to you! If you are not aware of how attraction marketing works, you should pick up a copy of Magnetic Sponsoring. This book is the foundation of attraction marketing and has been used to create almost every attraction marketing program online.
It is important that the leads you receive are original and high quality. You can easily get distracted with gathering or buying leads and not check for duplicates. It is not uncommon for the same leads to show up many times during the lead generation process. Target original leads so you don't spam them.
Are there any events happening near you which fall within your field? Look for events where you can find people that would be good at what you do. You are not going to find these people in bars, or at bowling alleys, look at churches, Toastmsters, Networking events on Meetup.com. Find out what will be in your area by looking at your local classifieds.
If you are looking to generate leads online, there are a ton of top mlm lead generation systems that can teach you what you need to know to generate leads online. But also BEWARE: there are also systems that you see that are only in the business of taking your money. <– These companies you will want to stay away from!!!
If you want to get leads online, I recommend you check out My Lead System Pro. This company teaches you different strategies for online lead generation like; Social Media, Content Creation, Offline Prospecting, etc.
Now that you know where to find quality leads, you know what to do to generate some great leads. Gaining a loyal customer and avoiding bad ones is what a good lead entails. Find success with these tips.

Fast-growing fish may never wind up on your plate
Sunday, December 9, 2012
WASHINGTON — Salmon that's been genetically modified to grow twice as fast as normal could soon show up on your dinner plate. That is, if the company that makes the fish can stay afloat.
"It's threatening our very survival," says CEO Ron Stotish, chief executive of the Maynard, Mass.-based company. "We only have enough money to survive until January 2013, so we have to raise more. But the unexplained delay has made raising money very difficult."
Already, biotech scientists are changing their plans to avoid getting stuck in FDA-related regulatory limbo. Researchers at the University of California, Davis have transferred an experimental herd of genetically engineered goats that produce protein-enriched milk to Brazil, due to concerns about delays at the FDA. And after investors raised concerns about the slow pace of the FDA's Aquabounty review, Canadian researchers in April pulled their FDA application for a biotech pig that would produce environmentally friendly waste.
"You drive a hybrid car because you want the most efficient vehicle you can have. So why wouldn't you want the most efficient agriculture you can have?" asks Alison Van Eenennaam, a professor of animal science at University of California, Davis.
Using gene-manipulating technology, Aquabounty adds a growth hormone to the Atlantic salmon from another type of salmon called the Chinook. The process, company executives say, causes its salmon to reach maturity in about two years, compared with three to four years for a conventional salmon.
But as the company has inched toward FDA approval it has faced increasing pushback from natural food advocates, environmentalists and politicians from salmon-producing states. In fact, following the FDA's positive review of the fish, the House of Representatives passed a budget that included language barring the FDA from spending funds to approve a genetically engineered salmon.
But the delay could cause Aquabounty to go bankrupt before its salmon reaches supermarkets.
Stotish views the sale as a positive development, but he still worries that the U.S. government is unwilling to approve the technology at the heart of his company's work.

Pats' playoff newcomers eager to face Texans
Saturday, January 12, 2013
FOXBOROUGH, Mass. — Across nine years and five teams, Brandon Lloyd never played in the postseason.
The San Francisco 49ers, Chicago Bears, Denver Broncos and St. Louis Rams never got that far while Lloyd was there. So he had little interest in watching the playoffs while on vacation all those years.
"It's pretty different. I'm definitely excited," he said. "I'm just happy to be where I am now."
His Super Bowl hopes ended last season on the field where he now plays his home games. The Patriots beat the Broncos 45-10 in the divisional round.
"He's a great teacher," Lloyd said. "The way that he teaches the game, it's almost like I'm not being coached, I'm actually being taught. That's been the part of this experience that has stuck out the most to me."

Knight Age
Knight Age Overview
Knight Age allows you to engage monsters and complete quests without ever leaving the comfort of your trusty steed. This allows a realistic flow to gameplay. The game focuses strongly on a guild interaction, and all guild members work towards ensuring the guild's strength. The massive 50 v 50 guild battles require the attention of all participants, as well. Instances in the game will change depending on how you play, and also come in different varieties: solo, multiplayer mounted, and even base capturing.. The game also features an in-depth pet system, which also functions as item enhancement.
Knight Age is a 3D Fantasy MMORPG that has just recently opened up for public beta testing. It is published by Joymax who are best known for Silkroad Online. The game has beautiful anime style graphics and deep colours. Knight Age has something different to offer the MMORPG community in the form of its "pupa" pet and mount system, in that, both play a huge role in the game. The four player classes are:
Knight – This is the bruiser of the four. He acts as the tank and uses a one handed sword and shield.
Mage – The Mage is the most flexible class out of the lot. She can act as a healer, target DPS or even AoE damage dealer depending on how she is built.
Archer – Archer can deal damage from afar or up close with a sword. She can also set up traps and poison enemies.
Warrior – Warrior is the Knight's more DPS-ey bigger brother. More fragile (despite his appearance) but packs a bigger punch with his weapon of choice, the two handed lance.

Knight Age Review
Full Review
By Daniel Dalton
The first thing you'll notice about Knight Age are its lush and colour graphics and soothing background music. While simple, the graphics Knight Age implements are beautiful and add a lot to the game. You have the option of choosing between four archetypal characters: Knight, Mage, Archer, Warrior.
The Knight is a "heavily-armored hero specialized in close combat and defense." Basically a bruiser, intended to be tanking the damage in the front lines. The Mage is capable of taking on multiple roles depending on how you choose to play her. She can both heal and deal major damage to hostile targets, this versatility is nice to see. Now we move on to the Archer (my personal favorite). The Archer deals damage from a distance with a bow and arrow or she can switch to a sword to get more involved. She also uses various kinds of traps to catch enemies off guard and induce confusion (think Hunter from World of Warcraft). Last, but not least, the Warrior. The Warrior is the main damage dealer of the four. He inflicts significant damage from close-combat attacks and critical strikes, he likes to fight up close and personal. I went with the Archer. Character customization is limited, there are some preset faces and heads to choose from. This is not a big issue though, most of the time your character's features will be hidden under whatever gear you will be wearing. As of this review the class types are gender locked.
Take that you sneaky fox!
I recommend going through with the optional tutorial even if you are familiar with the MMORPG genre. It is quick and familiarizes you with the game's unique pet system. In the tutorial you are given your first pupa (pet). Your pet can fight for you, grow as you grow, and assist you in other ways. The longer you spend with any one pet, the stronger it becomes as the bond between master and pet increases. However, you can breed different types of pets by finding various eggs around the Knight Age world. Some of these eggs are rare and you never know where they might pop up, so keep on the lookout. You end up conflicted between sticking with your old and trusty pet or moving on to a bigger and better, albeit less experienced one. In certain situations you can even combine two pupa to create an augmented super pet. This leads to entertaining choices and is one of the things that separates Knight Age from another generic Fantasy MMORPG. Once you hit level 5 you are able to ride a mount. Similar to pets, you can raise them and enhance them in various ways over time. While it may be hard to get used to fighting on a mount at first, eventually you'll find you never want to get off it.
My very own donkey!
Knight Age has a nifty auto travel system between quest points that serve as a welcome break and allows you to enjoy the beautiful environments. Unfortunately, the quests are nothing special, kill 10 of these, collect 6 of these items and so on and so forth. That on top of repetitive combat means you're going to have a bad time when you have to collect 20 animal hides. However, the pleasant music and decent ambient sounds make it seem less of a grind and more entertaining. Thankfully most individual collection quests are done with quick and the quest chain leads you to new environments as you progress which take away from the monotony of it.
So who do I need to see this time?
As you level up, you can invest points on a skill tree as you see fit depending on your focus. For example, two max level Mages could serve very different roles depending on how they were built. These roles play a key part in the PvE side of the game when it comes to taking down big bosses in party-based instances. Having a good mix of healers, damage dealers and tanks is essential to be successful in any instance offering a good payload. On the PvP side of things Knight Age is very similar to World of Warcraft. You can duel any other player almost anywhere and then there are certain zones for open PvP. Furthermore, the game boasts guild-based PvP battles of up to 50 per side. This allows for some chaotic fun if you're a competitive player.
Before we move on to our conclusion I just want to quickly add that, much to my surprise, the Knight Age community has been extremely friendly and helpful. I asked many questions over the course of my experience in Knight Age and they were answered in a matter of seconds of pressing enter on the public chat box without any sort of backlash that you have come to expect in f2p MMORPGs nowadays. On top of that, there always seems to be a GM online that is able to help you with anything that a player cannot.
Final Verdict: Good
Despite the game's combat that can get stale sometimes and lackluster questing, Knight Age has a lot of addictive qualities and is a great game that has a lot of potential to develop in the future. This is definitely a must try for any fans of the Fantasy MMORPG genre.

Happy Birthday, Stevie Wonder!!!
Monday, May 13, 2013
Happy Birthday to Stevie Wonder, who turns 63 today (May 13th)!!! Wonder was born Stevland Judkins in Saginaw, Michigan in 1950, and later on legally changed his last name to Morris. At 12 years old, "Little Stevie Wonder" had his first Number One hit with "Fingertips - Part 2," recorded live in concert. Listen closely and you'll hear the musicians struggling to keep up with Wonder as he improvises; at one point, one musician can be heard shouting, "What key? What key?"
Martha Reeves, who was still working as a receptionist at Motown when Wonder first auditioned for the label, recalled that he was unlike anything they had seen or heard before: "Stevie Wonder, when he came to audition, played every instrument in the studio. Then he surprised everybody by puling this harmonica out of his jacket pocket and playing the harmonica, that nobody (laughs) at Motown had ever played."
The Supremes' Mary Wilson recalls the first time she ever met Stevie Wonder, prior to the recording of his first Number One hit "Fingertips - Part 2": "Stevie Wonder was brought to the studio by Ronnie White of the Miracles. We were at that time Berry Gordy's shadow. Wherever he would go we would go (laughs). So he said 'I have this young kid coming in and I want you guys to listen to him.' Stevie Wonder was going on nine, or something like that, it was just like watching a little genius! (laughs)"
Wonder's last studio album, A Time To Love, peaked at Number Five in 2005.
In September 2008 Wonder was named by the Library Of Congress as the 2008 recipient of the prestigious Gershwin Prize for Popular Song.
In 2009 Wonder released first concert DVD Live At Last -- A Wonder Summer's Night, which was filmed over two nights at London's O2 Arena.
Also in 2009 he was chosen by United Nations Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon to be a United Nations Messenger of Peace, with a special mission to help people with disabilities.
In 2010, Wonder was awarded the Commander of Arts and Letters award from French Culture Minister Frederic Mitterrand.
For the past few years the Motown icon has been working on two projects: The Gospel Inspired By Lula, an inspirational work inspired by his late mother, and the concept album Through The Eyes Of Wonder, about experiencing life as a blind person. Wonder was also set to record an album of duets with Tony Bennett with Quincy Jones producing.
Last August it was reported that Wonder filed for divorce from his wife of 11 years, fashion designer Kai Millard Morris. Wonder, who filed under his legal name, Stevland Morris, revealed in court documents that he and his estranged wife have been separated since October 2009. Wonder is being repped by attorney Laura Wasser, who handled the divorce proceedings for Britney Spears and Mel Gibson's ex-wife, Robyn Gibson.
The Motown legend cites irreconcilable differences and is seeking joint custody of the couple's two sons and is willing to pay spousal and child support.
Wonder was previously married to singer-songwriter Syreeta Wright from 1970 to 1972. Since then, he's had several long-term relationships and has fathered seven children -- including 38-year-old daughter Aisha Morris, who's part of Wonder's backing band.
Stevie Wonder will next perform May 19th in Gulf Shores, AL at The Hangout Beach, Music & Arts Fest at Gulf Shores Public Beach.
