Editor's Note: This article is the seventh installment in our "Winning the Card Game" series. Dana Norman and Michele Rothberg acquired discount greeting card store Card$mart in June 2011. They agreed to let TheStreet follow them for one year as they experience the ups and downs of running a business. Based on advice from their accountant, the owners have declined to share revenue and profit numbers.
PLAINVIEW, N.Y. ( TheStreet) -- Summer is usually a slow time for retailers, but by offering niche greeting card and giftware products, Card$mart was able to overcome the summer doldrums.
"We held our own. Sales were approximately 15%-20% higher" in July and August compared to the year-earlier period, co-owner Dana Norman says.
"For a little retail store, that's huge," Norman adds. "Also when we bought the store there was nothing to sell. If you invest in inventory and have good products, people will buy it."Little more than one year after taking over the greeting card store, Norman and partner Michele Rothberg are making strides as they set their store apart from larger drugstore, office supplies and discount retail chains that sell cards such as CVS (CVS - Get Report), Target (TGT - Get Report), Staples (SPLS - Get Report) and Walgreens (WAG). >>>Winning the Card Game: Month 1

>>>Behind the Scenes at a Small Biz: June Profits From Thin Air Located in an upscale family neighborhood, the two have been carving out a niche for their store in several categories where there is strong demand: unique giftware, sleep away camp stationery and merchandise, end-of-year teacher gifts and, now as school starts, locker décor. "We try to still stick with unusual, unique items, not what everyone else has. There are certain things we just can't compete on the price point," Norman says. Of course, the store's bread and butter revenue generator is cards. Card$mart of Plainview is known, even by competitors, for their "50% off line." According to Norman, a competing drugstore's manager even encouraged one patron to buy cards from Card$mart and not his store. Card$mart licenses its name from Designer Greetings, which is also the vendor of the "50% off" line of cards the store sells. Yet the partners are not franchisees in the sense that they do not pay franchise fees or royalties to Designer Greetings. Norman and Rothberg are required to carry the Designer Greetings 50%-off card line, but can also sell other items and cards of their choice. Designer Greetings has declined to disclose how many independent retailers license the Card$mart name. The growing reputation Card$mart is carving out in the community is also benefiting its financial credibility. As the store begins its purchase of bulk holiday season cards and giftware, Card$mart is able to negotiate with vendors. "We're establishing credit, so we don't have to pay for

Yesterday was my birthday! I'm now three! My mom can't believe it. She still calls me "kitten." MOL
I still act the same; I just weigh more now. I love toys, but I get bored of them quickly. I love meowing. My human brother says I sound like a chimp. I'm larger than all three of my dog sisters.. And I still wish I could wrestle them. So nothing has changed around here!
Our dogster/catster account is having problems. I've been trying to put a new picture on my page but can't. Logging in and staying logged in are problems for me and my furamily as well. Things are improving though. Hopefully in time everything will be running smoothly.
Well hope I can post this entry! Take care, Catsters!
Today is free comic book day! Along with a select group of comics being offered for free, one of them is called SCRATCH 9, a comic all about a house cat turned super hero!

Hundreds of paragraphs, dozens of bad pans, a multitude of pop culture references and a dash of football history later this blog is coming to the finish line...or as my Father commented after paging through my last two months of toil and sweat, "well, that certainly is a lot of words." Thanks Dad. But now as we stand perched on the TV Sports abyss that is the NHL Game of the Week (bring back Peter Puck, dammit) and Spring Training Baseball it's time to make our final selection of the season.
Now to call me a cynic is like saying Nicole Richie is a picky eater or Gary Busey's a bit quirky. Thus despite being faced with deciding between the theoretically two best team's in the NFL like Frank Costanza at the Festivus Airing of the Grievances I have a lot problems with these teams.
Looking at Pittsburgh I see a club that was not exactly a road demon at the end of the year, nearly getting outscored overall in 5 of their last six road games that included tilts with such under/non achievers as Buffalo, Cincinnati and Miami. They also lost to a then reeling Jet team before righting the ship versus the mailing-it-in pair of Carolina and Cleveland. So far in the playoffs it's been a mixed bag. Coming from behind via the arm of Roethlisberger to beat Baltimore then running off and hiding vs. a Jets team that came out flat behind a big running day from Mendenhall. In neither game did they top 300 yards in offense and there was still a chance for both opponents to overcome their horrendous Halfs and pull the game out late. Their run defense is unshakeable, but their pass D is more middle of the road, bolstered by a a league leading 48 sacks. Problem is Green Bay by their own admission doesn't care if they run for many yards as long as they stay close enough to get the requisite attempts to keep the defense honest. Additionally Aaron Rodgers is an effective runner, much better than Flacco or Sanchez which may help to mitigate the Steeler blitz.
But before you think we're leaning Green Bay's way let's look at the Pack's foibles of which we found several. First off the Lombardi Boys did not exactly play a killer schedule. Of their three wins vs. playoff teams in two (against the Eagles and Jets) they were outgained and the other was against a Bear team, that had clinched their #2 seed, in the last game of the year. In the playoffs their win over Atlanta seems a bit suspect when you consider that the Saints loss to Seattle seems to taint the quality of the whole NFC South pool. The following week in a return engagement with the Bears they almost let a guy who sounds like he should be as The"other" Eagles put it "out riding fences", Caleb Hanie, nearly pull off an improbable comeback in a game they should've won handily. In terms of offense we have complete faith in Aaron Rodgers which is good since James Starks and company should be as effective as Anderson Cooper's bodyguards in Cairo. Defensively Green Bay was very effective against the pass, but very average versus the run. So what does it all add up to?
We see a close game with each team's strengths and weaknesses playing off each other. That said Special Teams might play a big role and in terms of the kicking game Green Bay gets the nod. P Tim Masthay was nearly team MVP against Chicago, Mason Crosby we know is solid and as for Steeler kicker Shaun Suisham, well, like Michael Jackson' marriage to Lisa Marie Presley something just doesn't seem right. Hard to picture the Redskins castoff going all Vinatieri in this one. Aaron Rodgers is the ultimate hot hand here, but remember he did not throw a TD against the Bears and had two picks. With no threat at TE, Donald Driver nicked up and James Jones/Jordy Nelson not looking like guys who will step up Mr. Rodgers may not find it such a beautiful day in Harrison/Polumalu's neighborhood. Conversely the Steelers will try to run and should have some success. Even if Mike Wallace is eliminated as a deep threat Heath Miller and Hines Ward could be effective underneath. Therefore our prediction in order of strength is Under and Pittsburgh. Good luck...and if you've learned one thing here I think it's, please, stay off the drugs.

PVE New or Existing?
I would like to see the option of joining a new or existing in the PVE Que - similar to that of the PVP Que.
I, too, see the point to helping out a team that had a member leave or whatever reason (D/C, Rage Quitting, PUG, Trolling). However, it would also be a nice feature that if you did get put into an already existing instance of an STF - that the cool down be reduced.
I've been thrown into a KASE with 4 cubes out, 8/10 on the vortex passthrough and only 3 players. I think we actually completed it, of course not with optional, however then we have to wait the hour cool down. I didn't even get to really play...
I would at least like the option of choosing if I can go into an already existing match, or a newly created match.

Even after placing orders totaling over $900 I have been left in the dark about most of my items! ALL OF WHICH ARE CHRISTMAS PRESENTS!! Two of the orders (the main orders) were split and partially shipped without notice to me that they would be split. One item suppose to be shipped in 24 hours is still not shipped and it's been two weeks (no one notified me nor have they responded to my many emails asking about it). The other order that was to be shipped in one week supposedly got held up in customs and would not even arrive at Airsplat for 6-8 weeks. The only reason I know is because I emailed to inquire about the shipping time after not seeing it being shipped after a week as promised. They had no plans to even notify me apparently. Being that these are Christmas presents and as pretty much the ONLY Christmas presents my teens are getting I asked Airsplat if I could exchange the guns for ones comparable in price, that they DO have in stock ready to ship asap, so they would have something for presents instead of waiting until FEBRUARY. I found two replacements that were the same and lower in price than the ones I initially ordered. They refused to allow the exchange without me paying a couple hundred MORE dollars because the coupon code I used to make the original purchase had expired and did not fit with the newly selected guns! They wouldn't even make the exception because #1...this is just good customer service to do so....#2...their "guarantee" shipping was a lie...and #3...two kids will now not get their Christmas presents until February!! I was told they were "sorry" and that they would refer my issue to "someone higher up"....big surprise that it's been over a week and nobody has bothered to even contact me. OH...did I mention that one of the items I DID actually receive broke within minutes of being out of the box?? Yeah.....thanks Airsplat for being the Grinch AND Scrooge to our Christmas this year....bah humbug!
Hey don't ever use this site I got an ak-47 from this sight and it didn't work we sent it back three different times and it still is crappy it only shoots upside down if your lucky .
I frikn LOVE Airsoft and so im picky about buying a gun and any other equipment and after i ordered a couple of time from AirSplat, there is no one that i would trust even more when buying my new guns and equipment.
I would strongly recommend airsplat to any possible customers! They have wonderful prices, products, and service!
When I purchase an airsoft gun/gear I always check other websites first to detirmen the best deal, 9/10 times the winner is airsplat. And when I buy that item their checkout and payment options are always secure and under control. Lets say something goes wrong with the order, (which never really happens) just call or inform them and their costumer service will get on it instantly. I strongly recommend airsplat.
This review is provided by Airsplat Army Portland.
We have purchased many things through Airsplat.com. The best experience we have had was one purchase. We purchase a A&K SR25k. We had so many questions about this gun. Airsplat answered them and more. After purchase it off there web page we wanted to upgrade it. Again back to airsplat.com. We have upgraded this so far I am afraid to take it out of its bag and brake it in! LOL Airsplat customer services answers to my questions where dead on with what what was shipped. I can not be happier!
Thank you,
Airsplat Army Portland
I bring my gun here all the time to get repair and maintained.The techs do a great job on my gun and always have a recommendation on what i can do to improve the quality and performance of my toys. Everywhere else is overpriced and they take forever. I can drop off my gun in the morning and pick it u the same day. Airsplat U guys ROck
Dealing with Airsplat has been such a great expierence. Any time I have ordered something from them it has come within a few days, well packaged, and in great condition. Their website is well layed out and designed esspecially after the reworking of the site. Their customer service and marketing people are wonderful to deal with as well when I have requested promotional items and sponsoring of airsoft events here in CT they always went above and beyond expecting nothing in return but a few pictures. Airsplats prices are pretty comparable with other retailers and they offer a 110% price match which is always great for those of us who like to shop around. I highly recommend them for your airsoft needs they are totally a one stop shop from equipment to videos about equipment and guns you would need for airsoft.
I purchased a KHW M4 which had a problem with the bolt. When I contacted them they told me how to fix the problem, which made it worse. I sent the gun back to them (with all the parts) and they told me their recommended modification voided the warranty and they would not fix the gun. Add to this they did not (nor ever did) return any of the other parts other than the nonfunctional gun. After about I year I gave up calling the purchase a total loss.
Love this place, best service in the industry. Don't get stuck up service from others or wait forever in line.
Airsplat is great on their prices; they offer good guns for little money and usually do their work and get you your stuff. However, they sometimes make shipping mistakes, and when they do, you probably aren't getting your stuff, your money back or anything else. Personally I haven't had a problem with them; all my stuff arrived and is fine and dandy. But be cautious ordering from this site unless you are ordering some cheap stuff.
I have purchased 3 guns from this site in the past year. All of them arrived on time with minimal issues. One of the bags of BBs I ordered broke during shipment, but Airsplat replaced it right away for free. I will be shopping here again.
Have shopped with Airsplat twice in the past 8 months. Both times, items received were WRONG. I don't know if shipping problems occur often with them or not, but both times I've had a LOT of headaches dealing w/ their customer service agents, who seem lackadaisical and don't genuinely care about satisfaction.
They are a decent online Airsoft retailer only if they ship your order right, but otherwise I'd advise against shopping here. Go elsewhere like Airsoft Extreme or Airsoft Megastore, two of the more reliable and top-notch stores

One of our weaknesses is a brie app. I've only made it with whole wheels, but I'm sure you could adapt for a wedge. I cut the wheel through the middle, as if you were cutting a cake into two layers. Stuff the center with caramelized red onions and almonds. Replace the top and bake until melty. Eat with crackers, crudite, or bread. Soooo good.
I also love sandwiches made with brie, apples and a drizzle of honey. You can use a lot of brie in one sandwich!

Oblique Fitness Magazine Features Accident Recovery Workout – The Jason Deierlein Story
Jason Deierlein's story of recovery is both tragic and inspiring in the January 2012 Oblique Magazine interview; featuring the role of physical fitness before and after the car crash that left Jason comatose and follows his progress to-date. Jason & his Trainer demonstrate exercises, discuss accident recovery, and how vital it is to motivate our youth towards physical fitness.
Charleston, SC (PRWEB) January 06, 2012
Oblique Magazine is noted for a wide range of articles pertaining to the fitness world that helps the reader achieve particular fitness goals. Monthly features include topics of Aerobic Training, Power and Strength, Power of the Mind, and "…Inspiring Success Stories. Jason's story is a true success."
The January 2012 edition interviews Jason Deierlein as he recalls before and after the car accident that changed his life forever.
As a young athlete, Jason Deierlein was training as a competitive swimmer with dreams of the Olympics in his future. He remembers how hard he trained to be in top physical form for his sport; sometimes swimming laps to the point of "…near collapse, but he never gave up because he knew what it took to be a winner."
Jason believes his dedication and determination to be physically fit saved his life from the events that transpired one stormy night in 1995. That night, while riding as a passenger in a van, a tractor-trailer truck crossed the center line causing a crash.
The driver of the van, Jason's best friend & neighbor, lost his life that night. Jason was spared, but not by much. The tragic accident left him in a coma for months.
While in a comatose state, Jason had dreams of "…being in great persistent pain. The kind of pain he remembered from training." He subconsciously pushed through the agony.
Upon waking from his coma, he was unable to communicate, see, or move. He had to draw on his discipline to endure the agonizing surgeries and physical therapy; all the while being unable to cry out.
After years of exercise and rehabilitative therapy, Jason made remarkable progress. Jason states, "This is because swimming saved my life after the car accident. When you are involved in a life changing situation, the condition of your body and mind will be a huge determining factor as to how well you recover."
Oblique Magazine focuses on Jason's progress to-date. Jason continues to use health and fitness to regain the abilities the accident took away from him. Surviving traumatic brain injury, multiple crushing fractures, a broken femur, and complete elbow reconstruction left lingering concerns related to balancing issues.
"However, using health and fitness, he has been able to continue to improve his situation even after 16 years from the car accident." Oblique Magazine features full color images of Jason's post recovery workout with his Fitness Trainer.
Since his recovery, Jason has created "My Positive Perspective, an Internet Talk Show dedicated to the enhancement of lives." It stresses to parents how vital it is for their children to grow up physically fit and healthy; in body, mind, and spirit.
As a motivational speaker and talk-show Host, Jason uses his life story to "…convey to children exactly why it is imperative they respect their bodies while they are still developing and not take things for granted that will hinder their development."
Jason wants people to know that it's never too late to start a healthy lifestyle; however, it is far better to prepare in advance and have a physically fit foundation while you are yet young. "One never knows what tomorrow holds, it's better to be prepared than to suffer the consequences later."
My Positive Perspective January 2012 Episode One – Jason Deierlein and Traumatic Brain Injury Co-Host, Dr. Matt Antonucci, discuss the Oblique Magazine article featuring his post recovery fitness workout.

Chiefs still perfect after 23-13 win over Bills
Chiefs still perfect after 23-13 win over Bills
ORCHARD PARK, N.Y. — Linebacker Derrick Johnson isn't going to apologize for the Kansas City Chiefs' perfect start.
"I've heard it said that we haven't played winning teams," Johnson said after the Chiefs used two defensive touchdowns to beat the Buffalo Bills 23-13 on Sunday. "We're the best you can be at 9-0 right now. If you can't respect it, then we're just going to keep winning."
So far so good.
Sean Smith scored on a 100-yard interception return and linebacker Tamba Hali produced the go-ahead points for Kansas City by returning a fumble 11 yards for a score.

Re: Bottom paint flag coat theory vs. reality
Please note that all of the below is from IMHP from owning boats over the last 35 years
My current boat Seafever is a good example because it had a fresh start 2 years ago with 100% current material
I dont want to get into barrier coat other than i used it and the bottom paint was applied within the correct time window
It started out with 5 quarts of Micron Extra which was about two light coats with a bit more on the waterline
Season one ended up like this with the hauling yard giving it a powerwash and its exactly how it was relaunched
Season two ended up like this with the hauling yard giving it a powerwash and with a few hours of Scotch pads it will be ready for paint and another two year cycle
I consider this to be a perfect ending as none of the barrier coat was exposed until the yard power washed the boat and the least possible amount of paint was used
In my area of Long Island Sound barnacle larva are rampant and it sets the tone for your cleaning schedule as IF you let them get beyond larva your screwed
Season one nothing but a soft washcloth about every two weeks
Season TWO i find requires ONE session with a scrub brush to make the paint perform after sitting out of the water for 6 months
The rest of the season is the normal soft washcloth
I sail and race with a large number of people who use everything sold and NOTHING withstands Northport any better

Brenda Jernigan is a bestselling author. Her books have been nominated for
many awards - Book Seller's Best Award, The Maggie Award, and The Holt
Medallion Award. Publisher's Weekly said, "Brenda Jernigan writes Romance,
Adventure and Magic"
She grew up living the life of a tomboy – climbing trees, playing ball, and excluding starry-eyed romance from her daily repertoire. Brenda discovered the love of books while taking her son to Story Hour at the local library -- she was hooked. She set an ambitious goal and began work on her first novel. She continued to write six more novels in rapid succession. She figured having the same birthday as Ernest Hemingway couldn't hurt.
Her books have been printed in several languages and her last book "Southern Seduction" written under the name of Alexandria Scott was printed in Russian.

CLACKAMAS COUNTY, Ore. -- An Oregon woman who learned last week she could be evicted for keeping a U.S. flag in her window found out Monday that she can stay, and her landlord will buy her a flagpole.
Elodia Royce has displayed the flag for six years in support of family and friends serving in the military.
They fought for our freedoms and this is a freedom I should have, she said.
She said she was told when she moved in that she could not install a flagpole, but that it would be fine in the window.
But then last week, a notice from her landlord warned she could be evicted by Monday if she didn't take it down.
Background: Clackamas grandmother faces eviction over USflag
It says all colored drapes need to be removed from the windows, but our flag is not a drape, said Royce.
Monday Royce told KGW the manager of the rental company had a change of heart. She said the company planned to buy and install a flagpole for her.
She said they also offered to give her an indoor flagpole if she wants to fly another American flag inside her apartment.
Royce said the compromise allows the colored drapes rule to stand, while she still gets to proudly show her patriotism. The rental management company has yet to confirm the compromise.

Albuquerque, New Mexico - The results of yesterday's Stock Semi-Auto Championship are in and a US Border Patrol shooter is at the top, but it isn't Vadasz. Kevin Worrell took this championship's title after shooting a perfect 480-37 - just 11 x's shy of a really perfect 480-48x.
Worrell's teammates Douglas Goff, Robert Vadasz and Enoch Smith came in second, third and fourth with scores of 480-36x, 479-42x and 479-36x respectively.
Robert Barnes of the LAPD rounded out the top five with a 479-33x.
Despite the one point slip, Vadasz is still comfortably in first for the overall National Police Shooting title.
Day two is the revolver's time to shine. Everything starts with the Open Revolver 1500 aggregate. We'll see how everyone's doing in just a bit.

Excellent for Sydney's old nose and paws
posted 5 years ago
Sydney's 19 year old nose and paws do get dried out and rough at times. This balm is awesome in restoring moisture to him. And, he doesn't mind it being rubbed on, either!
Pros: moisturizes this old boy

Based on their genomic analysis, the researchers also concluded that the small size trait emerged relatively early in the history of domestic dogs. They hypothesize that small size may have facilitated the rapid diversification among domestic dog breeds by making it easier for humans to maintain them in the crowded confines of developing villages and cities, as well as making them more transportable during trade and migration.
Future aims of the study are to identify genes that control other aspects of canine morphology including, for instance, leg length and skull shape.
Three high-resolution photos depicting the wide size range among dog breeds are available at: www.genome.gov/pressDisplay.cfm?photoID=20009; www.genome.gov/pressDisplay.cfm?photoID=20010; and www.genome.gov/pressDisplay.cfm?photoID=20011.
The new finding follows on the completion of the dog genome sequence, announced in December 2005, research that is a part of NHGRI's Large-Scale Sequencing Research Network. The availability of the dog genome sequence allows researchers to better compare the human and dog genomes and narrow their search for genetic contributors to cancer and other major diseases.
Researchers can access the dog sequence data through the following public databases: Dog Genome Resources (http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/genome/guide/dog) at NIH's National Center for Biotechnology Information (NCBI); EMBL Bank (

SUNNYVALE, Calif.--(BW HealthWire)--Nov. 7, 2000
Hyperion Essbase Powers Web-Enabled B2B Clinical
Management Analysis System Helping 100,000 Doctors
and Drug Providers Manage Healthcare Risk
Hyperion (Nasdaq:HYSL), a leader in business analysis software, today announced that Scrip Pharmacy Solutions, a prescription benefits management (PBM) company, is crediting Hyperion Essbase for driving a B2B clinical management analysis system that is helping drug providers price medications competitively, and helping doctors monitor patients' prescriptions and drug interactions.
Scrip's enterprise-wide clinical management system is comprised of 40 business analysis applications powered by the market-leading Hyperion Essbase, and complemented by Painted Word's Essbase-Ready Mocha Blend Java-based development kit. Thousands of individual prescription drug providers access Hyperion Essbase over Scrip Pharmacy Solutions' Web site to track and analyze hundreds of thousands of detailed prescription records from 100,000 doctors prescribing 15,000 different medications -- all within hours of the date filled.
The results are dramatic. The Hyperion-based business analysis applications allow Scrip users to apply sophisticated analysis to determine how fast-rising prescription-related healthcare costs affect their businesses. The insights they uncover using Hyperion Essbase are helping to reduce their audit and intercept workload, allowing medical managers to better enhance patient compliance with drug regimens, identify abusers of prescription drug plans and enforce guidelines.
"Hyperion's products have dramatically improved the way Scrip analyzes and runs its business," said Russ Corvese, CIO of Scrip Pharmacy Solutions." Now, with our business analysis platform running on Hyperion, we are truly operating as an e-business. We are uncovering valuable insights into our customer and supplier relationships and have real-time access to our financial information over the Web. More importantly, we are even applying business analysis to life-saving tasks, such as discovering pregnant women who are taking drugs that could be dangerous to themselves and their babies. Through our partnership with Hyperion, we are keeping our customers healthy."
Prior to implementing Hyperion Essbase and Mocha Blend, Scrip was unable to report on its financial performance until 45 days after the month-end close, and the complex reporting system required Scrip to distribute 600 page hard-copy reports to its network of drug providers each month, reports that contained information that was important, but static and difficult to decipher. Now month-end closes take ten days.
Today, via Scrip's Web-enabled, dial-up service, drug providers have up-to-the minute information on prescriptions and the ability to analyze data across "dimensions" such as doctor, pharmacy, medication, drug manufacturer, patient age, gender, drug sensitivities, eligibility for plan membership, number of prescriptions, cost of prescriptions, region, brand, and much more.
Scrip's users access Painted Word's custom Web interface to drill down from details in Hyperion Essbase to transactional data for each claim stored in an Oracle relational data warehouse. With Hyperion Essbase and Mocha Blend, users can typically get answers to their queries in a few seconds, allowing them to quickly process customer requests for ad hoc reports. More information on Painted Word's Mocha Blend is available at www.paintedword.com.

Snowstorm takes aim at Plains, Midwest
Denver International Airport spokesman Heath Montgomery said about 106 flights have been canceled, many of which involved commuter jets headed to nearby destinations or to mountain towns.
The Colorado Avalanche Information Center said up to a foot of new snow in the mountains could create dangerous avalanche conditions.
Colorado State Patrol troopers also spent part of Saturday working a crash near Johnstown involving a tractor-trailer that burst into flames. An estimated 20 to 50 vehicles, including four tractor-trailers, crashed or slid off the roadway in the area. The patrol said several people were hospitalized, but no fatalities have been reported.
The system will move into Illinois and Indiana overnight and into Sunday.
Meteorologist Dan Smith with the National Weather Service in Lincoln, Ill., said snowstorms aren't uncommon in early spring. The latest the area has seen snow, he said, was April 23, in 1910.
"One good thing about (the snowstorms) is it doesn't matter how much you get, it usually doesn't stick around too long because temperatures start to warm up pretty good," he said.
Farther south, tornadoes were possible in Louisiana and Mississippi, while strong winds and low humidity could lead to forest fires and wildfires in parts of New Mexico and West Texas.
Associated Press writers Jason Keyser in Chicago, Thomas Peipert in Denver, David Skretta in Kansas City, Mo., and Margery A. Beck in Omaha, Neb., contributed to this report.

BOCA RATON, Fla., Nov. 15, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- Will the second Obama administration mean good times or bad for the hedge fund industry in 2013? How will investors be impacted? Will regulation move the markets? Will the JOBS Act be fully implemented? What next for Dodd-Frank? What changes are coming at the SEC? The Fed?
These are just some of the issues that will be discussed and dissected at the first full-on hedge fund regulatory debate of the new Presidential term at GAIM USA 2013, January 21-24, at the Boca Raton Resort & Club, FL.
GAIM 2013 also announced today that Paul Atkins, Commissioner of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission from 2002 to 2008, will join the "Debate on Regulation" panel on January 23, 2013, two days after the U.S. Presidential inauguration. Mr. Atkins, Chief Executive of Patomak Global Partners, joins these previously announced panelists:
- H. David Kotz - Director at Berkeley Research Group and Inspector General of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission from 2007 to 2012
- Mark A. Calabria - Director of Financial Regulation Studies at the Cato Institute and a member of the senior professional staff of the U. S. Senate Committee on Banking, Housing and Urban Affairs
- Panel Moderator, Charles Millard - Managing Director, Head of Pension Relations at Citi
"This promises to be an interesting session about an extremely important topic," said Mr. Millard. "With the caliber of participants in this panel, we should be in store for a lively debate and discussion.""With Dodd-Frank extending disclosure regulation to large hedge funds, the SEC's new focus on financial stability could well result in a host of safety and soundness rules that go well beyond its traditional disclosure based regime," said Mr. Calabria. "The increased emphasis on mandated disclosure could very well back-fire; pushing fund managers toward the short term bias that infects all too many publicly traded companies."

Science is not only compatible with spirituality, it is a profound source of spirituality. When we recognize our place in an immensity of light-years and in the passage of ages, when we grasp the intricacy, beauty, and subtlety of life, then that soaring feeling, that sense of elation and humility combined, is surely spiritual. ..Carl Sagan

Talking about myself a little bit, I live in Spain, I'm a 20 years college guy, I study computer engineering ( But I'm not a freaky lol ). I don't work yet so It's hard for me to afford fragrances prices but I'm struggling lol.
I started to care about fragrances 2 years ago, but I was just the normal guy who likes aquatic fragrances like ADG and cool water, until I met my signature scent which is Dior's Fahrenheit 32.

Comment: Bought for my husband..really nice! Quick shipping also!
Cumming, GA
Comment: A little akward getting used to the two finger cuts, and these were oversized for the light gloves I was wearing, Im sure the extra room would be needed with bulkier golves on. All in all my hands were nice and dry and that is the point so Yes I would recomend this product.
St Louis MO
Comment: These will keep your hands dry but they are extremely awkward wearing while riding. I'd only recommend these if your looking for a cheap fix as they will do the job but they aren't very comfortable.

Jets' Scott sees the value in Tebow
SIT LISTThe season is here, but these guys won't be suiting up Sunday.
Bart Scott knows some people think all of this Tim Tebow and wildcat offense talk is pretty funny.
The chatty linebacker insists the New York Jets will have the last laugh.
''It's a butt of a joke for a lot of people, but we understand what it does for us,'' Scott said Sunday. ''We understand the advantage that it gives us. Whenever you have to prepare for things that may or may not happen, it stretches your defense. It stretches your mental capacity and it takes one more time for one person to say, `Hey, I don't have a check.'''
Scott knows from experience after having had to deal with Tebow and wildcat offenses in the past. One of the low moments of the Jets' disappointing season a year ago was Tebow's 95-yard winning drive against them in Denver in November - capped by a 20-yard touchdown run on New York's all-out blitz.
Of course, Tebow was a starting quarterback back then, and now he's the backup to Mark Sanchez with the Jets. But coach Rex Ryan and offensive coordinator Tony Sparano plan to use Tebow quite a bit in the offense. Just how they'll do that hasn't yet become clear, although they say a wildcat-style package in which he's featured will be installed.
SCHRAGER'S TOP 100 PLAYERSFOXSports.com's Peter Schrager has unveiled his annual rankings for his top 100 NFL players. Check the list, plus the fan reaction.
- Nos. 100-81 | 80-61
- 41-60 | 40-21 | 20-1
The Jets used one when they had quarterback-turned-receiver Brad Smith for a few years, but Tebow brings a different element to the package.
''We were very efficient in running the wildcat,'' Ryan said. ''When you bring in a guy like Tim, as much as I love Brad, Brad can't bring you the inside game that Tim can give you, and Tim can throw the ball a little better than Brad. Those are things that are really positive to me.''
Another is the fact that, according to Scott, the defense normally has an advantage when an offense runs the wildcat because the quarterback isn't usually accounted for.
''So, essentially, it's 11 on 10,'' he said. ''When your quarterback is carrying the ball, it's 11 on 11, so all it takes is for one guy to get cut off and not make a tackle. I think I'll take my chances with Tim running the ball against one guy making a bad step and getting caught behind and not being able to make the play.''
While many fans and media wonder if Tebow and Sanchez will be able to truly co-exist on the field, Scott says the team has no doubt they will.
BLAST OFFDemaryius Thomas is just one player ready for a breakout season in 2012.
''I mean, I think it's something fun for you guys to deal with, but we understand the plan,'' he said. ''We understand how tough the wildcat, having an athlete out there on the field with the ball in his hands at all times is because we had to defend the wildcat. We somewhat created a bit of a wildcat when we had Leon Washington. We took it to a different level when we had Brad Smith. We understand the pressure that not only it puts on our defense, but other defenses. If I say our defense has been in the top six since I've been in the NFL, what's it going to do to the 24th-ranked defense? Or the 30th-ranked defense? It causes problems.''
When Sparano was the coach in Miami, the Dolphins used a wildcat-style package with running back Ronnie Brown and backup quarterback Pat White.
''What's always been a weakness of the wildcat formation is that Ronnie Brown couldn't throw the ball, Pat White was too small to take the pounding,'' Scott said. ''So now, when you put in a guy that can take the pounding and can throw the ball, most people when they make a check to the wildcat, it's a generic edge blitz, one high safety. Well, now you expose your guys down on the field because guys have to cover 1-on-1, and you have eight guys sitting there in protection. Now what are you going to do?''
Off the field, Scott has been impressed by how Tebow has handled his immense popularity. While the face of the franchise remains Sanchez and the best player is cornerback Darrelle Revis, neither has the rock star-type following that Tebow has.
''I mean, it's humility,'' Scott said. ''How can you ever not accept somebody who has humility, who works hard, who's a great teammate? I mean, I knew Tebow well before he came here and he showed me the respect to seek me out, ask me how to be a better pro. I mean, guys don't do that. You see the cameras that follow him. Half of you guys wouldn't be here if he wasn't here. But, he takes it all in stride and it never affects his relationship with his teammates.
''We all understand that it comes with the territory, and we're able to deal with it. It's New York. We can handle anything.''
After Tebow's shirtless jog through the rain after practice Saturday created an instant buzz on Twitter, YouTube and all types of websites, he took some razzing from his teammates in stride - and sat in a quarterbacks meeting for 30 minutes without wearing a shirt.
''Like I told Tim, I've never seen anybody decide to take their shirt off in the rain,'' Scott said, drawing laughs. ''Usually, I put stuff on. Maybe it was holy water, I don't know.''

Remember the big freeze last year? The Portland area saw icy winds and temperatures in the teens and low 20s for days on end. I don't know about you, but I lost a few plants: a voluptuous reddish-pink Hebe and a wonderfully weird Echium pininana which would have sent up a columnar, 10' tall purple flower spike this past spring had it survived. I do realize that destruction is part of the rich tapestry of life in the garden… but it would have been nice to see them...

A Manchester United party will be in Rome today for security talks over next week's Champions League meeting with Roma.
The Daily Mail says United and Roma played twice in this season's group stages and, although the Old Trafford game passed without incident, four United fans were jailed for their part in clashes at the return game.
There are real fears violence could flare again now that the stakes are much higher.
United secretary Ken Ramsden will meet officials from Roma on Tuesday as well as police and representatives from fan organisations.
United will stress the need for extra security and Ramsden hopes to return in a position to brief the club's fans on where to go and what to do in the Italian capital.

Portrait Of A Killer
|Grand Theft Auto IV
|United Liberty Paper Contact
|United Liberty Paper Headquarters, The Triangle
|Adam Dimayev
|Conditions of mission failure:
|Dust Off
|Unlocked by:
|Wrong is Right
- "We always use people like you. Michelle - Karen...She was the same. Someone with something to lose, but not much to live for."
- ― United Liberty Paper Contact
Portrait of a Killer is a mission in Grand Theft Auto IV, given to United Liberty Paper. In this mission, the ULP wants Niko to kill Adam Dimayev, the Russian owner of an imports/exports company who is financing terrorist activity.
Niko Bellic is sent by United Liberty Paper to finish off Adam Dimayev and his goons. Niko goes over to a compound in Dukes. There he kills Dimayev's goons, but has an option of letting him live.
Mission objectivesEdit
In order to complete the mission the player must:
- Your contact will send you a picture of the target. Read the message when it arrives
- Get a cop car
- Access the police computer
- Use the police computer to locate your target
- Go to Dimayev's hangout
- Dimayev is there with his guards. Eliminate them all
- Choose Dimayev's fate.
- Dimayev's goons
- Adam Dimayev
After the initial cutscene, United Liberty Paper will message you a photo of the target. You must acquire a police car to access the computer's search-by-photo option, in order to get Dimayev's location on your radar, in East Island City. Jump onto Adam Dimayev's property and go to the right of the compound. Dimayev himself is in the doorway of the small trailer on the right side of the first tier of the compound. If you fail to kill him in this spot but alert him and his goons to your presence, he will flee toward the roof where you will have the option of killing him or letting him go. Either way, his goons must be eliminated.
An easy way to ensure killing Dimayev before he flees is to snipe at him from the bushes across the street. The entire first tier of guys can be eliminated in this fashion without one of their bullets reaching you.
If you fail to or opt not to eliminate Dimayev out front, he will flee to the roof of the small building on the second tier of the compound. Gain cover behind a car or dumpster and kill the goons on the first tier (if you haven't already sniped them all). Climb the ladder or walk around the wall on right side to reach the second tier. Another smattering of guards awaits; climbing onto a shipping container to gain the higher ground is a good strategy here. Climbing more containers, you'll reach the roof to finish off Adam. Kill Dimayev or leave him be, and then leave the area. Niko will automatically phone United Liberty Paper and tell him that he "served his purpose."
- Adam Dimayev (optional) - Can be killed by Niko on orders of U.L Paper .
- Dimayev's goons - Killed by Niko for defending Adam Dimayev.
Trivia Edit
This mission's name is a reference to Patricia Cornwell's novel Portrait of a Killer - Jack the Ripper: Case Closed.

The NEPA Bonsai Society will hold its 22nd Annual Open House from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. on Saturday, Sept. 8 at Midway Garden Center, 1865 Highway 315, Laflin.
In June 1988, six people who shared a common interest in the ancient art of dwarf trees and whose experience ranged from practically nothing to over 20 years, met informally to discuss ways and means of sharing their collective skills and expanding local interest in this ancient oriental practice.
From these meetings, the Northeast Pennsylvania Bonsai Society was born. Its objectives remain to provide a place for its members to come together to expand and share their knowledge and skills and to advance and promote interest in bonsai among the general public in Northeastern Pennsylvania.
The agenda on Sept. 8 will include a large bonsai tree display by the society's members, various demonstrations throughout the day and many bonsai trees and related items for sale!
There will also be Shakuhachi flute entertainment by Jamie Orfanella and a friendly bonsai tree competition open to all members.
"Our goal this year is to have a larger display, more demonstrations, and a greater turn out from the public," says Carl Achhammer, bonsai society president. It should be a really great day and I encourage people to come out to enjoy the trees and an art form that has been around for over 2000 years."
Society members will be on hand to answer any questions, show bonsai tress owners how to work on their bonsai or help anyone interested pick out theirfirst tree.
As a new bonsai enthusiast, vice-president of the bonsai society and co-chairwoman of the event, Constance Orchard finds a great need to promote bonsai to everyone she meets.
According to Orchard, "The quiet grace and beauty of a tree is soothing to the soul.
The living art form of bonsai gives one an up close and personal relationship with your own "scaled down forest."
For more information, call Sue or Carl at Midway Garden Center at 654-6194.

text: From the Publisher"A straight-talk, no-nonsense introduction to basic Chinese culture and rules for politeness. The simple, cartoony, black-and-white illustrations help drive home these absolute "must-know" lessons for tourists and business travelers.—especially anyone responsible for business negotiations! The advice ranges from common faux pas to avoid (never give clocks or cut flowers as a gift.—they symbolize approaching mortal death), to the titanic importance of allowing others to "save face" (never rebuke a Chinese person in public!), to how one should behave when invited to another's house (guests should always leave a little food on their plates - too much left suggests that the food was bad, and a clean plate suggests that the hosts have not fed the guest properly) and much more. It's All Chinese to Me offers a balanced view of China's cultural strengths and weaknesses, and should be required reading for international travelers. Highly recommended."—Midwest Book Review

Strengths: everything, great geo, great specs!
Weaknesses: could have a few lighter parts... like a carbon bar and stem, but the easton 70&50 are super sweet just the same. fork could possibly be a bit lighter too, but... the rest of the ride is 100% compensation for it.
Bottom Line:
It is a racing machine!! so I won't much (if any) 'free-riding' on it, but it'll be amazing in the races, and great on any xc ride.
