Sophia Amoruso
As the founder and owner of Nasty Gal, the fastest-growing online retailer in the country, Sophia Amoruso is the creative visionary, modern-day entrepreneur and fashion doyenne who has forged an unprecedented path in building a modern brand. Recently named by Forbes as "Fashion's New Phenom," Amoruso's rising success and business savvy was touted for being "up there with retail's most profitable ventures." On May 6, 2014, Amoruso is set to debut her highly anticipated, first book titled #GIRLBOSS under the Portfolio and Putnam imprints of Penguin Random House. Part memoir and part business book with an edge, #GIRLBOSS is a sassy and irreverent look into how Amoruso organically grew her business from the ground up. The book will tell Amoruso's extraordinary personal story and offer insights on entrepreneurship and career advice for young women. At only 29 years old, Amoruso has become one of the most prominent figures in retail and a cultural icon who has worked from the ground up and landed on top of a fashion empire named Nasty Gal— a term originally coined after a 1975 Betty Davis album and the singer's outspoken and unapologetically sexy style. Building on that inspiration, Amoruso's Nasty Gal first sparked a cult following in her one-woman vintage venture on eBay where she quickly learned she had a knack and photographer's eye for fashion, styling and buying. In just five years (and after being kicked off the site in 2008), the brand has grown into a one-stop shop and online retail haven with a progressive following of fashion risk-takers and well over a hundred million dollars in revenue. Today, Amoruso's bold style is synonymous with six-inch platforms, motorcycle jackets, rock tees, shredded denim and an occasional red lip— all elements of the fashion retailer's intrinsic personal taste. Having recently caught the attention of Silicon Valley, The New York Times poetically put it, "if ever there were a Cinderella of tech, Sophia Amoruso might be it." With relentless obsession over all things web and social media, Amoruso has propelled her brand's unforgettable aesthetic on every channel including a half a million followers on Facebook and six-hundred thousand followers on Instagram. As these carefully curated pages have "translated 'likes' into sales" according to Forbes, Amoruso has revolutionized marketing with a business built almost entirely on unpaid social media from day one, today drawing millions of visitors back to the Nasty Gal site every month. On the heels of Nasty Gal's success, Amoruso is passionate about evolving her brand and team of creative mavericks in every way possible. As she continues to be deeply involved in every aspect of the business, she loves most to meet the girls that have inspired Nasty Gal to be one of the most coveted brands of our time.

text: D region, lowest ionospheric region, at altitudes of about 70 to 90 km (40 to 55 miles). The D region differs from the other ionospheric regions (denoted E and F) in that its free electrons almost totally disappear during the night because they recombine with oxygen ions to form oxygen molecules. Hence, radio waves cannot then be reflected from it but pass through to the strongly reflecting E and F layers above. During the day, some reflection can be obtained from the D region, but the strength of radio waves is reduced; this is the cause of the marked reduction in the ... (100 of 138 words)

I added fresh thyme and sliced portibello mushrooms to the shallots. This recipe is a 10!
I prepared the meat exactly as specified in the recipe, and it was terrific. Will be making this again over Christmas holidays!
We love this recipe, although this time I'm adding tarragon as another chateau recipe called for. Serving with duchess potatoes from another site (food.com) and peas. I am cooking it in a separate roaster in the oven this time, too, since like a few other reviewer I severely burned my hand the last time because I, too, grabbed the handle to saute the shallots, forgetting that it had been in the oven. Keep meaning to get one of those silicon sleeves for my pans, but haven't yet so better safe than sorry.
I've made it over 4 times and everyone loves it! Served it with haricot vert and Sweet potatoes with scallion butter. Read More http://www.epicurious.com/recipes/food/reviews/Chateaubriand-241304#ixzz2f0t9Q3Jt
I've made it over 4 times and everyone loves it! Served it with haricot vert and Sweet potatoes with scallion butter.
I love the recipe. I did add mushrooms with the shallots and herbes de provence that i purchased in france and a pinch of sea salt to the saute process. The HDP was the perfect addition. ps.. they make a little potholder that slips directly on the handle of the skillet.. I purchased this after grabbing a hot handle a few years ago.
We made this in the oven the first time, and it was great, however, since then we have made it on the bbq, with the sauce on the side. We actually prefer it on the grill, because of the issue of smoke coming from the oven, and the sauce doesn't seem to suffer from the lack of fat from browning the meat. It's a great "surf and turf" with Grilled Oregano Shrimp.
good..but I improvised with demi glaze and did not use red wine but finished it tableside ..flambed brandy..very nice
Followed the recipe exactly. I gave it three forks because I'm hoping someone will play around with it to help give input as to what's missing. It's good, but it's not great. Needs an herb maybe. The flavor isn't quite there. Might try it with sauteed garlic and fresh thyme added to everything else next time. I'd make it again though with some tweaking.
the best recepie ever! My husband loves this. I made it for him on our first valentines day. Remember to be careful that the pan stays hot for a long time and that it is super easy to burn yourself (I have done it several times).. this recepie is amazing and anyone who appreciates good beef will LOVE it. I am making it again tonight with smaller cuts of beef to celebrate the elections!!

Tendonitis is a term often used to describe an inflamed and painful tendon. However, tendon pain can also be caused by small tears in the surrounding tissue or the gradual deterioration of a tendon where it connects to the bone. This type of tendon pain is often referred to as 'tendinopathy'. Tendon pain can affect tendons around the:

For reasons not fully understood, tendonitis occurs more often in people with diabetes. Read more about the causes of tendonitis. Treating tendonitisIn many cases, a painful tendon will get better after a few days. You should stop doing the exercise or activity that caused your symptoms. Self-help techniques, such as rest, painkillers and ice packs, can often help relieve tendonitis. More persistent cases of tendonitis may need to be treated with physiotherapy, corticosteroid injections or shock wave therapy. Surgery may be recommended to treat some cases of long-term tendon pain, such as Achilles tendinopathy or tennis elbow, that have not improved following treatment. Read more about treating tendonitis. Preventing tendonitisIf you play sport or exercise regularly, you should warm up properly before you start to prepare your body for more vigorous activity and help avoid injury. It is also important you cool down and stretch after you finish. Read more about how to warm up before exercising and how to stretch after exercising. If you have had tendonitis in the past from exercising or playing sport, you may be able to make changes to prevent it reoccurring. For example, you may need to use different equipment or seek the advice of a coach about changing or improving your technique. Read more about preventing tendonitis. |

XP Roundtable
eWEEK Corporate Partners discuss Windows XP, IT buying.
A countdown clock on the Microsoft Corp. campus has been ticking off the time remaining until Windows XP is officially released. That clock stops this week, but, based on discussions with members of the eWeek Corporate Partner advisory board, many IT organizations do not share Microsofts anticipation. eWeeks Peter Coffee, Debra Donston and Jason Brooks met recently with Corporate Partners from the commercial, retail, industrial, academic and health care industries. The Corporate Partners provided organizational and IT management perspectives on Windows XP and Microsoft operating system migrations, buying and upgrade strategies in economic downtimes, technology futures, and security frustrations.

Beyond The Streets
How to help
Who we are
Why we do it
What we do
Beyond the Streets is a UK charity working to end sexual exploitation.
Our vision is to see a world where people are free from exploitation, and where those involved in prostitution have the option to pursue genuine alternatives, free from constraints such as drug use, abusive relationships and poverty.
The sex industry is an ever expanding arena for sexual exploitation. Street prostitution, off-street prostitution, sex tourism, strip clubs, lap dancing, international and domestic trafficking and pornography are some of the venues where sexual exploitation against women, children and men happen every day. We are working towards seeing an end to the sexual exploitation of those in prostitution, many of whom have been trafficked. We believe that sex trafficking and prostitution overlap in fundamental ways and that there is an inequality of social and economic power between those exploited and those who exploit. The sex industry is a theatre for gender power dynamics to take the stage.
It is unknown how many people are working in prostitution in the UK – but what we do know is that it affects people in every town and city in the UK.
Prioritising the involvement of those exploited by the sex industry we seek to move....
Beyond Prostitution
We believe in life beyond prostitution and understand that change becomes sustainable when a person is empowered rather than simply treated as a passive victim.
Beyond the Limits
We believe that people exploited by prostitution and sex trafficking deserve access to genuine and attainable alternatives. Campaigning alone is not enough; alternatives have to be provided.
Beyond the Label
We believe that it is vital to look beyond the terms 'prostitute' and 'sex worker' and treat with respect and dignity the person behind the label.

Buckeye plant restarts
A Buckeye Technologies facility in Florida is back on track after an electrical surge caused what could be a $6 million power outage Friday.
Memphis-based Buckeye's Foley Plant in Perry, Fla., has returned to normal operation after it shut down because of malfunctions in an electrical line and a transformer.
The company makes specialty wood cellulose and fluff pulp.
One of the plant's production lines resumed operation Sunday. The plant's second line is expected to be back on today.
The company projected the financial impact to be from $5 million to $6 million.
Central Gardens shines
Central Gardens has been chosen as one of North America's 61 best "Old House Neighborhoods" by the magazine This Old House.
"... This 83-block first-tier suburb is known for beautifully maintained houses distinguished by handsome millwork and wide front porches," the magazine states. "And talk about tree-lined streets!"
The article points out that Central Gardens homes often command $300,000 to more than $1 million, but that the neighborhood also has plenty of American Foursquare and craftsman homes starting around $150,000.
The 2012 Best Old-House Neighborhoods appear online at thisoldhouse.com/best-places.

Carolyn Grant - a former chairwoman of the Greater Raleigh Chamber of Commerce and candidate for mayor and Congress - entered a guilty plea Wednesday to one count of mail fraud in federal court. Prosecutors said Grant defrauded investors out of millions of dollars in a real estate deal. She could face up to 20 years behind bars when she's sentenced in February, but the sentence will likely be lower - closer to 6-7 years.
She's also expected to be forced to pay restitution.
Prosecutors allege Grant borrowed money and then used it to pay other debts. In all, about 50 victims say they're owed money.
Grant's defense characterized her as a victim of the real estate market collapse.
Until she's sentenced, Grant will remain free and even be allowed to travel for work - including a trip to Haiti in December.

Released: Jul 01st, 1993
Running Time: 84
Director: Wesley Emerson
Company: Pinnacle (Odyssey Group Video)
Lilli Xene, Paul Morgan, Tony Tedeschi, Leena, Laurie Cameron, Mike Horner, Tina Tyler, Terry Thomas, Steve Drake, Tom Byron, Crystal Wilder
Critical Rating: AAA 1/2
Genre: Feature
Researcher Mike Horner has invented a machine that can transform people from sexual frigidity to being volcanic — as we see in the opener with Crystal Wilder and Terry Thomas. But who's that sneaking into the lab while Mike's gone and Tom Byron is supposed to be watching the place? Well, the body's pretty recognizable as Tina Tyler's, even if you don't see the face. Tina's a nympho who wants to boost her sexuality even higher — and it works, except for the black-widow spider who accidentally crawls onto the machine with her. From then on, Tina's a killing machine, and Mike and reporter Dyanna Lauren have to stop her. Okay; so you've seen The Fly. This is better — and a damn sight sexier.
There are three excellent couplings here. Watching Terry take Crystal from behind while both are standing on the transformation machine is a sight to behold, and it'll keep your attention riveted till the facial ending. Tom Byron's passionate coupling with Leena in an alley setting might have been awards-worthy, if it hadn't been interrupted midway through for plot material. Finally, you'll see Tina really putting her heart into her work with Steve Drake; the two go through enough positions to kill anybody, even without the spider venom. Also look for Paul Morgan to plug Laurie Cameron anally in their threeway with Lilli Xene (who looks great!). Though the art direction is laudable for its ingenuity, slow pacing during the non-sex scenes keeps this excellent feature from scoring higher. Truly superb box cover shot adds to the marketability.

TOPEKA, Kansas — Kansas reports that its unemployment rate remained at 4.2 percent in February and that employment by private companies grew over the previous year.
The state Department of Labor's report Friday means that the seasonally adjusted unemployment rate was the same for three consecutive months. It compares to a rate of 4.6 percent for February 2014.
The department said 1.14 million Kansas residents held private-sector, nonfarm jobs in February, up 17,100 from February 2014. The growth rate was 1.5 percent.
Figures released month-to-month last year showed an average growth rate of 1.3 percent. More comprehensive data released earlier this month put the actual rate for 2014 at 1.9 percent.
The most robust over-the-year growth was in leisure and hospitality. It saw employment grow 3.5 percent to nearly 126,000 in February.
