Many of us are guilty of not paying as much attention to our make-up as perhaps we should. From foundation lines and clumping mascara to looking as if we've been 'tangoed', we've probably all had make-up disasters at some point. Most beauty professionals agree that make-up should enhance your best features and minimise the negative ones; not make you look like a completely different person!
Whether you've got a big occasion coming up (such as your wedding) and you want your make-up to be perfect, or you just want to learn about how professionals apply make-up, most beauty salons offer make-up application for occasions and make-up lessons.

As the war rages over what format will make up the next generation of DVDs, signs of an impending battle over their successors are already in the air.
A new type of disc that promises to cram in up to 300 times as much data as today's DVDs is poised to hit the market, and a similar, rival disc whose data is recorded and read differently is to be released within a few years.
The new discs use a holographic technique to store data in three dimensions. At first they will be used by businesses and governments to back up their vast archives, but in a few years they could hit the consumer market, with one disc able to store multiple high-definition movies. "We expect holographic storage to be really huge," says Mukul Krishna, an analyst with Frost and Sullivan based in San Antonio, Texas, who specialises in digital media. ...

How do I deal with my disappointment that I'm having a boy?
We've just learned that we're having a boy, and we were both hoping for a girl. My husband says we should just be happy to have a healthy baby, but I can't help feeling disappointed. We're in our late 30s and we've had two miscarriages, so this may be our one and only child. Is anyone else unhappy about their baby's gender?

I just found out too that I am having a little boy after hoping I was going to have a girl this time. I did have to have a little cry. I want to pass on so many things to my daughter, be the mother of the bride, etc. But I believe this little boy needs me for his mommy. And as other posters have said, boys are special and love their mommmies so much, and girls tend to rebell against their mothers (not all girls do, but boys just tend to take care of their mothers). How do you get over it? Start buying things for your little boy that are cute and adorable. Get your nursery ready. Cry when you need to and take this time to get it all out. Pick out a name. Write letters to him. Take pride in passing on the family name. To all those who say it's wrong to feel disappointment, HELLO, she is pregnant. Can you say hormones? I almost cried today when they ran out of tacos in the caf at work. Emotions are human, and they are more severe when you are pregnant.posted 04/23/2010 by melbisme
I had my 20 week scan and they told me I was having a boy, so I have spent the whole day crying about it. I'm in my late 30s and it might be my only child. I don't agree that sons are closer to their mums(except for the weird Oedipus complex relationships); wherever you look, generally it's the girls who stay close to their mothers through the rest of their lives. And you can go clothes shopping and speak to her later like to another female friend... It's nobody's fault but I just wanted a girl.posted 05/14/2011 by Mamuncia
I have 3 girls and always wanted a boy. I had a tubal after #3 cause all were c-section & rough preg. After two I made a list as to why to have #3 and the only reason to have another was for a boy and not to have a 3rd was list mile long. As you can see turned out another girl. You say once you see them it doesn't matter that you love them anyway. I do love her very much cause it's not her fault she is here, but I still can't help but long for the boy I will never have. See I wanted to adopted our third child but hubby didn't want to and I no if we would have done that I would for surely have my boy and now I am stuck with three girls. She is almost two now and I still cry alot about not having a boy, you would think after all the trouble of trying to get preg and having kids that would make it ok but it doesn't. I even told my husband after she was born that I regret having a 3rd he said it would grow on me. I feel like I took a gamble and loss. Does anyone feel this way?posted 06/16/2009 by a BabyCenter Member
It's fine I remember when I found out I was having a boy I almost cried because we wanted a girl, obviously it was fine and we love him the same but everyone (no matter what they say) have a preference. So it's fine to feel that way but it will soon pass!!posted 05/26/2007 by a BabyCenter Member
I am shocked by some of the negative feedback here. Everyone has a right to their own opinion, but to be hurtful is just plain mean. Many of the negative responses seem to come from mothers who have had trouble having healthy babies...how would they feel about someone making negative judgements about their ability to nurture a life? (No one would dream of making such a destructive and ridiculous assertion!) We are human and we can't control how we initially feel/react to news such as the sex of a baby. I am 40, pregnant with my first, and having a little boy, but always dreamed of having a girl. I can't deny or lie about how I first felt about the news, what I can do is think about all the wonderful things associated with a boy and thank God for allowing me to get pregnant so easily. My baby and me are healthy and having an easy pregnancy....those are things I focus on each day. I can not wait to meet our little guy!posted 08/20/2007 by salyzsong
I feel the same as you. even tho i already have 2 girls, i want another one. i find out in 1 week what i am having and i know if they say " its a boy" im going to cry. im really scared that i won't feel the same about him as i do my girls.posted 08/23/2007 by thedaukfamily5
Dear Linda, I understand what you are gong through. I've always wanted a girl myself and now have three boys. It is true what everybody is saying, once you get to know your child, you'll discover his wonderful personality and you will not want to change him for anything in the world. Don't let the others make you feel guilty about your feelings. It's better to be honest about it and deal with it instead of keeping up appearances.posted 08/14/2005 by cmdbrugge
Thank God for you ladies! I am the mommy of an 8 year old boy, and pregnant with my second (and planned last) child. My husband and I both wanted a girl. I found out yesterday that we are having a boy. I was crushed. I feel so selfish for being so upset... and crying. I don't even want to go shopping. I feel like I've done this before. There will be no cure frilly tutus, or pink and purple. There will be no wedding dress to buy later, no child birth to be a part of with my daughter. I feel like a part of me died. And I feel like a horrible person for feeling this way. My husband asked if I would want to try again, but I don't think I can deal with the disappointment again. I pray for peace for all of us going thru this. And patients for outsiders who don't get it. I'm so glad I'm not alone.posted 12/11/2011 by mrosado1
To all of the people that have so much hate and frustration in their hearts that they feel the need to be-little this woman-Grow up, get over it, and realize this is a message board where people can come to ask questions and sometimes they just need to hear that they are not the only one out there feeling what they are feeling. No where in her post did she ask for anyone's judgement. No where in her post did she insult any of you..or say she does not feel blessed to have this beautiful baby on the way. Seriously...you all need to get a life. I'm sure you have feelings from time to time that you may not be proud of. Or all you all perfect? Anyway-(gotta love these pregnancy hormones-hehe)I think it's normal to have a preference in regards to the sex of he baby..and it's natural to feel disappointed when you find you are not having what you hoped for. But, they way I see it...it's out of our control, so we can be sad ...then pick ourselves up and embrace what god has given us.posted 09/25/2007 by mamaoftoo
I completely understand. We're going through exactly the same thing. Yes, this baby will be wonderful in his own right. However, you are losing out on things you could or would share with a girl. It's okay to mourn those losses as long as you don't take them out on your son. You're going to love him for who he is. Just give it time.posted 05/23/2007 by Cassa11

APP OF THE DAY: Shine Runner review (Android & iOS)
Some games are just a little frustrating on mobile devices. The controls are rarely perfect, the action not quite as big as it needs to be and both the physics and the graphics just a bit of a let down. In fact, it often comes of something of an annoyance that you downloaded it in the first place.
Not so with today's App of the Day on Pocket-lint. So, if you fancy a little good, old-style arcade racing, then you've come to the right place.
Shine Runner
"Yeeeeehaaaw!!!" is the common parlance one might use to describe the fun you get out of playing Shine Runner on either iOS or Android. The shine referred to in the game's title is moonshine, essentially, and the running it is where you and your thumbs come in.
You play some nameless, faceless hero of a sort in the deep South. Your job is to drive one of those swamp, fan-powered, hovercraft things - as made world famous by the series Gentle Ben - from A to B around a basic map delivering and picking up cargo at each stop. Acceleration is automatic and braking is non-existent, so all you have to do is tap each side of the screen to steer. In other words, it's dead easy but the fun comes in the shape of all the jumps you can make, objects you can smash and police you can evade. Add in the odd Wilhelm Scream for amusement and you already have yourself a winner.
The other side of the experience is the buying and selling of the commodities, which fluctuate in price, at each stop and doing your best to make as much cash as possible. In a way, it's rather like a very rudimentary, redneck version of Elite. However, you want to think of Shine Runner though, what's very clear is that it's an absolute treat for anyone to play. We're not convinced that the lasting appeal will hold any longer than a few weeks but it's well worth it all the same.

This is a symptom of the fact I'm definitely a bit stressed right now, and have been for a while. A good example of this came on Thursday night, when Mr E asked why I keep buying pineapples, not getting round to eating them and leaving them to rot on the worktop. I slightly flew off the handle and went into a protracted rant about how I'd been working so much and was so busy and stressed that I just didn't have time to do anything, including chopping up a pineapple. I'm well aware I probably spent longer justifying why I didn't have time to cut up and eat said pineapple than it actually would have taken me to cut it up and eat it - I never said this was rational.
Of course, a bit of stress is good. It's what makes me able to wing it in a meeting I'm not quite prepared for or come up with a way to solve a problem, and there's even some evidence that a little stress is good for your immune system. Too much stress is draining though, and I'm starting to feel that way. I realise this doesn't compare at all to what people who suffer with major anxiety disorders or depression go through but, to be honest, I feel a bit rubbish and want to nip it in the bud.
My plan is to think of three things each week which I am either going to make an extra effort to do, or which I am going to stop doing because they are bad for me. I'm hoping over time some of these things will become habits, and I'll generally feel better for it. Well, that's the plan anyway.
This week I will:
1. Not log on to work emails at home
I have a love/hate relationship with this little token. This piece of plastic is what allows me to log on to my work network from home. That's a good thing because it means I can work from home every now and again; but at the same time it makes it all too easy to think "I'll just log in from home and finish this off..." Frankly, I'm not that important, and it can wait until I'm back in the office.
2. Go for a walk in the park at lunchtime
I work in the city centre, so my default lunchtime activity to get me out of the office is a mooch around the shops. The result is, I buy way too much stuff, my wardrobes are bursting at the seams with clothes that are never quite right, and I stress myself out about the fact that I've still got my student overdraft at the age of 29. Except it isn't free any more. Being in the middle of town also means I'm five minutes away from the oldest (and probably the nicest) public park in the city. I'm making it my mission to go there instead, twice this week. If it's still freezing then I need to put a scarf on, man up and get out there.
3. Get a hair cut
This one sounds slightly ridiculous, but hear me out. I love my long hair, I feel like it's a bit of a trademark for me and it's definitely a comfort blanket, but lately I seem to be spending an immense amount of time thinking about it, and yes, stressing about it. I've convinced myself it's so long it's a bit unprofessional (not sure where this complex started, but it's there now) and every time I look down, I'm confronted by a sea of split ends. So, I'm off for the chop this week. I'm not going short, by any stretch of the imagination, but I'm going to get a good chunk cut off. Also, at the salon I go to (Boilerhouse, if anyone's interested), they have vibrating massage chairs for while you're getting your hair washed. That in itself is enough to get this one on the list. And if I miss my hair being really long? Well it actually grows pretty fast and there's always extensions for nights out.
And if it doesn't work, well I'll just start buying ready-prepared pineapple instead.
Can you relate to anything in this post? What are your best ways for dealing with feeling stressed? Leave me some suggestions in the comments.

Is William Levy The Hottest DWTS Celeb Ever? Watch A Maid Rub Lotion On Him and Decide
It's on now. Dancing With the Stars pro Cheryl Burke has thrown down the gauntlet — saying her Season 14 celeb partner William Levy is "the hottest piece of you-know-what" that has ever been on DWTS. That's a bold statement, as fans who've memorized Gilles Marini's shirtless Paso Doble know too well. So now you have no choice — you have to do some research to see if Cheryl's statement is fair or hyperbole.
Start by watching this random clip from one of Cuban-American actor William's many telenovelas. No idea about the context, but he goes swimming in a tight little bathing suit then has a nerdy maid rub lotion on his back. That's enough for you to do the basic work of deciding his hotness potential. At least 2,348,719 other people have watched the video, so don't feel too guilty about wasting a minute and a half staring at it.
If you feel like doing further research, there are a few Spanish fan videos on YouTube about William and his ex-girlfriend/mother of his kids Elizabeth Gutierrez. (Shipping knows no language barrier!) Of course, you can also watch William have another shirtless romp through the water with Jennifer Lopez in her video for "I'm Into You."
What do you think? Is William the hottest guy that has ever been on DWTS? We'll have to wait for March 19 — or at least his first shirtless dance — to really be sure. Project!
Dancing With the Stars Season 14 premieres Monday, March 19 at 8 pm ET/PT on ABC.

Guard Rachel Clancy of Dublin, Ireland, started playing basketball at the age of 7 — on the boys' team. By the time she hit 9, her coach predicted she would end up with a scholarship in basketball one day. He didn't know then that the full scholarship would bring her 6,000 miles away from home to play ball.
And she said is up for the challenge.
Head coach Faith Mimnaugh said this blend of personality and athleticism is what makes Clancy such a valuable player. She accredits Clancy with being a tremendous leader and a dynamic shooter.
"I think from a leadership perspective that is probably her greatest asset," Mimnaugh said. "She's been very vocal in trying to keep the team energized and focused in whatever her objectives are for practice and certainly for the games."
Mimnaugh, who frequently uses bench players, has enhanced Clancy's role by giving her more minutes. Mimnaugh has no qualms with Clancy playing the entire game if she needs her to.
"She will bury anybody," Mimnaugh said. "She can run forever and maintain the same kind of intensity level for an entire game, that's pretty significant."
But Mimnaugh values Clancy for more than just her athleticism.
"Who she is as a person is perhaps the biggest blessing we've had in our program," Mimnaugh said. "She is one of the greatest human beings in the planet."
Mathematics sophomore Ashley Cascio is one of Clancy's closest friends on and off the court. Clancy was the first person Cascio met when she came to Cal Poly.
"She is dedicated: whenever she has free time she works out more and is always doing something to get ready and play," Cascio said. "I can see that and it makes me want to do more. She always does jump roping after practice so then I started jump roping."
In addition to jump roping with Cascio, Clancy would condition outside of practice with Santiago. Both players focused on finding their chemistry together on the court.
Even though the two won't be playing together anytime soon, Santiago has confidence in her teammate.
"Rachel's an amazing player and with or without me she's going to be a scorer and a leader on the court," Santiago said. "She's going to get a lot more touches now but Rachel is just Rachel, she's going to play her game no matter what. There's no point in changing it, what she does right now is so key to the team."
It has been a rough start for the team with injuries, but Clancy said they have responded well. Cal Poly usually has around 17 players on the team but it seems now there are 12 to 13 players when it comes to practice because of injuries, Clancy said.
Despite all the injuries, she remains one of the healthiest players on the team. She has only missed one day of practice due to sickness in all her years in college.
"I'm really lucky when it comes to no injuries but I think sometimes you make your own luck," Clancy said. "I go to bed plenty early so I feel like at practice I'm able to respond quicker. I never miss practice. I'm always healthy, fit and ready to go."
Clancy's dedication to the game keeps her "fit and ready to go." During summers, she would play on the Irish National Team. The team was cut this summer because of funding.
But Clancy did not take a break. Instead, she focused on her own development. This included a weight program and running with weighted vests. The conditioning over summer improved her athleticism.
"I want to be in great shape so I can contribute as much as I can, as often as I can," Clancy said. "I want to be physically ready. I think I did a good job preparing myself for that. It's working because I don't feel tired at all."
Clancy gives credit to her parents for supporting her through her basketball career. They supported her when she moved from Ireland to pursue basketball at the highest level in college. They also supported her when she deferred her master's degree program at Trinity College, Dublin to play as a Mustang for a little while longer.
Clancy's mother, Sheila Clancy, visited Clancy last week. She saw her daughter play against both Loyola Marymount and Illinois.
"It's great to travel now and actually see her getting time because it's very tough for parents, especially when you travel so far, and for a player not to get minutes," Sheila said. "For the last two years, she's gotten a lot of minutes. She's playing very well; she seems to be a bit of a leader."
Sheila noticed that Clancy's hard work and dedication to the sport paid off.
"Everybody puts in a lot of effort but very few people leave their country and leave their family," Sheila said. "It's been tough in a lot of ways and I think now she is getting her reward — now she is getting the time, getting the minutes, getting the respect of her teammates. And she has earned it."
Her dedication has not gone unnoticed. Cal Poly athletics director Alison Cone acknowledged Clancy's commitment to the team.
"She is a very skilled player but there are two qualities that stand out to me even more than her exceptional skill and that's leadership and she is smart," Cone said. "She's smart so she's not going to overstep her role. I think she'll have more of a leadership role now, but she's also surrounded by talented players. She is very much a team player, she's not about Rachel Clancy — she's about the Mustangs and helping the team win. Such a great quality."

Absolutely the best persimmon cookie I've ever had. Moist and delicious. I have two 5 year olds and a 6 year old who will usually eat only chocolate. However, I can't make enough of these at ...
This recipe has been in my family for over 70 years now. I love it and make it every year when the persimmons are ripe. We have our own tree just so I can make these cookie. I freeze in packets...
Made with persimmons from the back yard, these cookies are awesome!! Taste kind of like a ginger snap, very yummy and soft. Might be good iced as well.

The federal government and Boko-Haram are engaged in talks on how to bring the group's insurgency to an end. This is even as the sect is suspected to have different factions, the Presidency said.
Special Adviser to the President on Media and Publicity, Dr. Reuben Abati, who disclosed this in Abuja, yesterday, urged Nigerians to disregard any controversy on whether or not there was dialogue going on and focus on efforts to reach Boko Haram.
He said that those who think such dialogue involved face to face meeting in which government officials and members of the Boko Haram sect sit on opposite sides of a table miss the point.
The Presidential spokesman said that what President Goodluck Jonathan needed as he tackled the issue was their support.
The group had, last week, denied engaging in any talks with representatives of the federal government and stated that an earlier press statement confirming an ongoing dialogue by one Abu Muhammad, who claimed to be the second in Command to the sect's leader, Abubakar Shekau was false.
But Abati insisted , "When government says it is already talking to Boko Haram, the form of that dialogue must be properly understood. I think a lot of people are under the impression that the dialogue involves a situation whereby government officials are sitting on one side, Boko Haram persons are sitting on the other side in an air-conditioned room and there are negotiations across the table. That is not the form of the dialogue.
"The form of the dialogue is that back room channels are being used to reach across with the sole objective of understanding what exactly the grievances of these persons are, what exactly can be done to resolve the crises, in the overall best interest of ensuring peace and stability in Nigeria and the security of life and property. "All of this is consistent with the position of Mr. President. So what is called dialogue is at many levels: through back room channels and through multi-level, constructive interventions to address a difficult issue that is multifarious.
Clarifying on Boko Haram's denial of an on-going dialogue, Abati said, "one thing that is noteworthy is that the Boko Haram spokesperson made it clear that they were prepared to go a step further to ensure that persons who are using the name of Boko Haram for political and criminal purposes are identified and checked. What that original statement indicated was that indeed Boko Haram has many faces. It confirms that this thing called Boko Haram is such a multifaceted phenomenon. The true situation has already been stated by the Honourable Minister of Information on two different occasions.
"First in an interview, second through a press release, namely that the Federal Government is involved in dialogue with Boko Haram. You will recall that what led to this is that a spokesperson for Boko Haram issued a statement confirming that government and some leaders of Boko Haram were already discussing; in that particular statement the issues being looked at were clearly identified.
"You will recall that in one instance, during a Presidential Media chat, President Jonathan had made it clear that the Boko Haram phenomenon, the terror phenomenon in Nigeria, is quite a novel phenomenon and that many of the persons involved in the low level insurgency are not known, they have not come forward. However if such persons should come forward, government will grant them a listening ear to know what it is that they are after.
"Again the President is on record, as having made it clear that government's approach to checking the Boko Haram insurgency is at many levels. The available option according to Mr President is not solely one of military action or police action and it is on the basis of this that he had reached out to leaders of political thought in the parts of the country that are affected.
"There is even a third level of intervention, the economic and social level of intervention. In this regard, President Jonathan has made it clear that many of the efforts being directed towards the affected parts of the country are meant, in fact to redirect the energies of the youths and this is the whole point of using the agricultural sector to transform lives, to create wealth, to create a value chain, the end of which is to create jobs and to engage young people more effectively.

Even Minimal Exercise Will Make You Sleep Better, Says New Study
Exercise definitely wipes you out at the end of the day, but a new study by the National Sleep Foundation (NSF) shows that people who participated in even light daily exercise reported getting better sleep than people who didn't exercise at all. This study had nothing to do with how long participants slept — they all reported an average of about seven hours during the week and seven-and-a-half hours on the weekends — and everything to do with how productive the sleep was.
"Some of the more frequent causes of being sleepy are obesity, diabetes, and smoking," says Matthew Buman, Ph.D., assistant professor of exercise and wellness at Arizona State University and NSF poll task force member, "and we know that regular exercise can help to improve each of these things."
The study polled 1,000 participants on three different aspects of their daily grind compared to their reported quality of sleep: how much they exercised, how much they sat, and how often they found themselves getting sleepy during the day. Across the board, the results showed significant improvement in sleep quality between people who reported no activity whatsoever and those who exercised even a little bit throughout their day. This could be anything from walking to a friend's desk instead of sending an email, or walking to the grocery store instead of driving.
"Just moving a little bit might not be enough to drop pounds," says Michael A. Grandner, Ph.D. an instructor of psychiatry and a member of the Behavioral Sleep Medicine program at the University of Pennsylvania, "but it can help improve your sleep, which itself has a lot of important, downstream positive effects."
If you are a gym rat, you should already be sleeping better than most, but Gradner recommends leaving your workout for about an hour or two before bed for the best sleep results.

For a little under a decade, Comedy Central has been the home for shows that never see a second season. It was a wasteland of sketch shows from comedians, for comedians or odd animated outlets that couldn't find a viable audience even when placed behind the network's longest running, most popular show South Park. Other than South Park, The Daily Show, The Colbert Report, and the occasional stand-up special, there was no reason to tune into Comedy Central unless you wanted to be disappointed creatively or upset that nobody was watching a show you thought was funny. Now, though, the network's new show Broad City has given audiences a viable form of entertainment that speaks for itself.
Finishing up its first season tonight, Broad City has been making headlines as one of this year's funniest shows. Already renewed for a second season, there's no need to worry about its fate on Comedy Central because they are very aware of the show's hit status among its demographic — especially considering that it didn't need a Netflix boost like the network's only other comedy hit, Workaholics. Approaching the show in a stand out way, comedians Ilana Glazer and Abbi Jacobson have not only made audiences fall in love with them in less than ten episodes, they've made audiences fall in love with them after demonstrating all their flaws. To put it simply, Broad City is a very gross, negative, ridiculously unfair show that isn't afraid to shove Abbi or Ilana into a position of utter disgusting behavior like hiding weed in a vagina ("nature's pocket"), or nearly killing someone else's dog, or — in tonight's episode — peeing out a condom.
Of course, this kind of behavior is right up Comedy Central's alley and nobody else's. Yet Broad City has crossover and super hit appeal already. Glazer and Jacobson are currently on a comedy tour and the show's second season is likely to premiere by the end of this year in order to really ride on its rising popularity. This could be because of Glazer and Jacobson's connection to Broad City's material; it was born years ago as a web series, which explains just how their characters, their world, and plots are all so magnificently solid. Or maybe it's due to Amy Poehler's producer credit which, in all honesty, gives the show a leg-up when compared to other shows on Comedy Central or another comedy premiering this year. Broad City isn't a flash in the pan, that's for sure.
Really, though, the correct reason as to why Broad City stands out within its small, freshman season is simple: It's the chemistry between Abbi and Ilana that makes all these wild, absolutely ridiculous shenanigans a lot more fun to watch than if it were on any other show. There's a strong, deep-rooted history between the two main characters that allows for their behavior and situations to not only seem plausible, but extremely exciting to witness. Not to mention the show takes on a Louie-like trait in basically having each episode represent a certain stand-up bit, letting the jokes fly off an already funny premise. The heart of Broad City relies heavily on Abbi and Ilana's friendship, so a funny premise isn't necessary for an episode to work. Tonight's finale is no exception; there's barely a plot to follow, so the two friends run rampant into the bizarre world created by the two writers. It delivers as both a great single episode and a successful finale to one of the best freshman comedy seasons in a very long time.

I would like to know how to prepare kosher food and cakes
So happy find your site
I'd rather have all those spices that are in the frosting in the muffins instead (minus the pepper –just doesn't belong there), & I can do w/o the saturated fat of the frosting too…
Made this in cake form for sukkot and it was such a bust!! WOndering if I id something wrong — it came out dense as anything, weighing about 100 pounds, and the inside was this weird, super-dense consistency…quite gross!

Mogadishu — Four unidentified gunmen have shot dead three government soldiers in K4 area in Mogadishu, witnesses told radio Shabelle on Sunday.
Residents say the gunmen have taken three rifles from the government soldiers after they killed them and escaped from the scene.
Government soldiers have immediately reached the scene and took the bodies of the soldiers. No group has claimed the responsibility of the shooting and there is no word from the government officials in Mogadishu.
Insurgents have been targeting government soldiers since the Ethiopian troops invaded Somalia December 2006.

As a site we are non-denominational and not affiliated with any existent group or path. We also welcome philosophical thinkers who are atheist and scientific in their thinking who are respectful of spirituality.
We chose the name Temple Illuminatus for a few reasons. Temple because we want this to be sacred space, a sanctuary for people of all beliefs. Illuminatus because it is the Latin term for someone who is highly enlightened.
Many people are more familiar with the term Illuminati, which is the plural of Illuminatus, a group of enlightened ones.
There have been a number of groups over the centuries who have called themselves the Illuminati. Some believe a group of corrupt wealthy elite by that name are manipulating world events. We are not affiliated with that, or any other, existing Illuminati group.
We are the new Illuminati. The peoples illuminati.
For we believe that the path to spiritual enlightenment is one we are all on. That mankind as a whole, as a social and spiritual unit, as well as individually is moving towards greater spiritual awareness.
This site is diversity friendly, we are committed to empowering the individual in their personal spiritual path to enlightenment. We do not judge or limit our membership in regards to their spiritual beliefs, philosophies, politics, gender identity, sexuality, or ethnicity.

Edon Pinchot Makes it to Next Round of America's Got Talent
The Jewish Justin Bieber moves on to the live New York shows
By: David Shear
Pinchot, who we first discovered in March, 2011, has been referred to as the Jewish Justin Bieber, but judge Sharon Osbourne sees someone else in Pinchot.
"He reminds me of a young Billy Joel" remarked Osbourne. "I think he did even better here than he did in his original audition" said radio host Howard Stern.
As we said in his first audition, we expect big things from Edon, and anything less than top 10 would surprise us. He's a wonderful talent and one of the few on AGT who can carry a show. Let's just make sure we get those votes in starting next week.
Below is a video of Edon's performance on America's Got Talent from Tuesday evening:
Here is a video of Pinchot singing "Count On Me" by Bruno Mars:

Hotels in Marseille
Unsurprisingly, many of the best Marseilles hotels sit along the seaside, but a handful of sleek, modern accommodations are available deep in the heart of the city as well. For those more interested in making Marseilles into a temporary home away from home, look into renting a private or commercial cottage along the bay.
For those seeking an upscale experience, a Marseilles hotel like the Grand Hotel Beauvau is an excellent choice. The highly rated hotel is located directly opposite the Old Port and offers unforgettable views of the Mediterranean seaside. On the more affordable side, there is MGallery Beauvau, a quaint, boutique hotel featuring a first-floor bar and a port view. Travelers looking to truly personalize their experience should consider renting a seaside home. Many places, like the Vue Notre dame de la Garde for instance, offer rooms that can accommodate everyone from a newlywed couple to a family of four. Look for lodgings near the city's metro system for easy access to every part of this bustling city.
Just behind the Quai de Rive Neuve, in the newly posh district of St.-Victor, this artsy inn has four simple guest rooms, a tapas bar, and a shop that sells furniture designed by owner Annick Lestrohan.
Le Corbusier's 1959 influential midcentury masterpiece still stands tall—12 stories to be precise—as a testament to pioneering postwar urbanist architecture. The massive, multicolored apartment block was designed to house 1,600 people in a vertical village

Grey's Anatomy
Grey's Anatomy Season 9 Super Trailer: Arizona's Recovery, a Proposal, and Hookups
The Grey's Anatomy Season 9 premiere (Season 9, Episode 1: "Going, Going, Gone") turned our worlds upside down, but we won't get to see the aftermath of the episode until after next week, since Season 9, Episode 2: "Remember the Time" (airing October 4) takes us back to right after the crash.
Fortunately, this new trailer for the season seems to give us a look at what happens when we return to the present timeline as well as some extended glimpse at what happened after the crash — and it is intense.
From Jackson (Jesse Williams) appearing to ask April (Sarah Drew) "do you want to get married?" to Derek (Patrick Dempsey) looking at a recreation of the crash (why?), this promo leaves our head spinning.
Check it out below.
Catch the next new episode of Grey's Anatomy on Thursday, October 4 at 10 p.m. ET/PT on ABC.

Because pressure ulcers are very difficult to treat once they have developed, every measure should be taken to prevent them from occurring in the first place. The following interventions should be put in place:
Moving and changing the patient's position is very important because it can relieve or reduce pressure on an area and can reduce friction and shear.
Special mattresses, pads, and other support surfaces can be used to help reduce pressure. These are available from medical supply stores and vary in cost and in ease of use (e.g., from simple foam pads to cushions filled with gel, fluid, or air). The doctor or nurse can help select the best surface for the patient's needs. At the very least, a patient who is at risk of pressure ulcers should use a foam mattress. There are several important things to consider when a support surface is being used:

Concentration Requirements
Core Requirements:
Students would be required to complete four upper-division courses to satisfy this Concentration:
- Business Associations (4 units)
- Business Planning: Financing the Start-Up and Venture Capital Financing (3 units)
- Mergers & Acquisitions (3 units)
- Securities Regulation (3 units)
Note: These are the same four upper-division requirements that must be completed in order to satisfy the requirements for the existing Corporate Law Concentration, which is a concentration that is also offered under the umbrella of the Business Law Practicum. While the core requirements overlap, the two concentrations are distinct because of the fundamental differences in the elective courses that must be completed in order to satisfy the requirements of each of these two Concentrations – as explained more fully in the next section of this proposal.
Required Electives:
In order to complete the Concentration, students must travel to LMU's main campus and complete two electives from an approved list of eligible MBA courses offered at LMU's Hilton School of Business. These two electives must be courses that are offered as part of LMU's MBA curriculum and must be related to the MBA's existing Entrepreneurship Program.
Based on our review of the MBA course catalogue and MBA course offerings for the 2013-2014 academic year, illustrative MBA courses include:
- Entrepreneurial and Small Business Marketing
- Financial Strategy
- Small Business Strategy
- Strategic Alliances
- Strategic Marketing
- Marketing Strategies for Innovative Products and Services (in the high-tech marketplace)
- Entrepreneurship
- Strategies for Technology Ventures
- Management Strategy
- Profit Planning and Managerial Decisions
- Business Valuation
- Entrepreneurial Finance
- Business Economics
- Social Entrepreneurship
- Strategies for Managing New and Growing Ventures
Based on our discussion with members of the MBA faculty, we are confident that there will be a sufficient number of approved MBA courses offered each semester in order for our law students to be able to complete the required two electives at the Hilton Business School. In addition, the Concentration Faculty Advisor will monitor the MBA course catalogue and suggest courses that should be added or deleted as appropriate.
NOTE: As a matter of existing LLS policy, in order for students to receive full credit for the two MBA courses that are the required electives for this new concentration, LLS students must complete all of the requirements for the Law & Entrepreneurship Concentration.
Research Requirement:
In addition to the core and elective classes, for students graduating after December 31, 2013, there is a required two-part corporate and securities research seminar provided by a law librarian. There is no registration process applicable to the seminar and no unit credit applies. The research seminar will be offered live and is recorded for download, so it can be completed either in the classroom or individually at a student's convenience. Both parts of the research seminar must be completed before the first day of the last month of classes leading to a student's graduation (thus, for most students, April 30).
Part One of the seminar addresses a California securities law problem and is available for download at https://my.lls.edu/node/3779. Log in using your LLS ID and password. After completing the problem, email or send hard copy of your deliverables to Professor Warren, who will record your completion of the requirement (firstname.lastname@example.com, office – B403).
Part Two, which looks into a federal securities law issue, will be taught live by research librarian Joshua Phillips on Friday, November 15, 2013. An email to all students registered with the Concentration will be sent prior to that date with the specifics on time and place. After Part Two is provided live, a similar download package will be set up on the same web page as Part One. Again, the research results should be sent to Professor Warren.
Experiential Requirement:
Students must complete the capstone course, "Business Planning I: Financing the Start-Up and Venture Capital Financing." This course allows students to understand the lawyer's role in planning and completing business transactions on behalf of start-up businesses by taking a "client" (i.e., an entrepreneur) through a "simulated deal" (i.e., a capital raising transaction for the new business "client"). Use of this simulated deal format acquaints students with the legal, ethical and business issues that confront the transactional lawyer in representing an early stage growth company.
Students are also encouraged to consider other experiential offerings related to the practice of corporate law, through internships and externships. In addition to academic advising, students enrolled in the Law & Entrepreneurship Concentration will be invited to unique networking opportunities and offered career guidance.

Sometimes tragedy pushes people toward huge life changes. One begins to question their existential nature and looks for ways to redefine their purpose amid the new perspective. That's exactly what Matt Damon is going through in his upcoming flick with director Cameron Crowe, We Bought a Zoo.
And as a recently widowed father who's trying to start over, he manages to pretty much achieve the most sweeping change possible. So how'd he pull it off?
MORE: Check out all the season's must-see flick in our Fall Movie Guide
Well, he literally buys a zoo. Specifically, one with 47 various animal species. At first, he thinks he's just buying a new house that could use a little remodeling. But the roar of a nearby lion gives away the fact that this is more than just an old home.
Seeing this as the perfect opportunity to reinvigorate his life and family, he teams up with the zoo's ragtag employees, including Scarlett Johansson, and dedicates himself to turning the struggling business around. After all, as his character says, "They say you don't even need any special knowledge to run a zoo. What you need is a lot of heart."
We actually think you do need quite a bit of special knowledge to run a zoo, but we're confident Matt can pull it off, so we'll give him a chance.
Ready to see Matt and Scarlett get one-on-one with these animals? We Bought a Zoo hits theaters Dec. 23.

Great game, itachi. You made this significantly different from the previous versions and I'll be around to see how you change it for the next incarnation.
Also, it's definitely good to see the Heroes win this time. I was really confused when GC attacked Prof. Templeton because I had already figured out that Ukitake had to be Prof. Templeton and he had vouched for GC. What were you guys doing?

Oh, but what you don't know is how Kat flipped when her first activity was described as:
Mekal was pre-occupied while walking about the city. He was thinking about how much he liked the desk in the home he was assigned. "That desk is pretty sweet." he thought. But then he got serious when he noticed another presence near him. This one had a lot of Spirit Power. The waves of reiatsu streaked his vision and blurred reality. "This guy is Captain-class.. or higher. Wait... I recognize that fox-face."
Ichimaru: I get to kill you? This must be my lucky night.

A former Head of State, Gen. Ibrahim Babangida (rtd), has advised the Federal Government to strengthened the Nigerian Project initiative so that unity and development of the country could be maintained.
Babangida said this on Thursday in Lagos at the presentation of two books in honour of Prof. Bolaji Akinyemi, a former External Affairs Minister.
The books are "Nigeria and the World: A Bolaji Akinyemi Revisited, " which was edited by Prof. Bola Akinterinwa and "Perspectives on Nigeria's National and External Relations, ", edited by Professors Thomas Imobighe and Warisu Alli.
Babangida said that the Nigerian Project was "the most appropriate mechanism" for addressing the nation's current challenges.
"My position is dictated by my conviction that Nigeria is precious enough to be saved. And this deserves an investment of our time and resources, to make the Nigerian Project a success.
"All we need is a new mind set about the Nigerian Project. Let us therefore, begin by admitting our mistakes of the past, " he said.
The former Head of State said it was imperative for the country to urgently revisit issues bordering on the principle of Federal Character.
He said, "we can face the country's challenges together, united in the spirit of her greatness".
Babangida lauded the efforts and sacrifices made by past governments and well meaning Nigerians, for the survival of the Nigerian Project.
"In a multi-ethnic, multi-cultural and multi-religious nation, principle of Federal Character is a sensible one, and there is no alternative to it.
"What needs to be done is to ensure that each national group has a sense of belonging. We need to arrive at a consensus, which will move this nation forward, " he said.
Babangida said that the presentation of the books was a demonstration of Akinyemi's over 40 years contribution and relevance to Nigeria's foreign policy.

You will never know unless you give it a try.
Ok I've been on here for a few months now. I've emailed and winked at women that I find interesting, but you girls that don't respond back its not nice. A simple I'm not interested is all good with me I'm a big boy I can take a rejection. I do the same courteously to you. Before you reject me just remember what you are missing. I have a lot to offer...I've been through enough in my life to know what I want and worked very hard for it. So that being said the rest of me. This is that full out souped up automatic just can't quit let the bass hit right on time Running hard til the end put you in a panic automatic smile knowing you'll be mine Full out souped up automatic can't quit let the bass hit right on time Running hard til the end put you in a panic automatic Moving far away from home has been very interesting to me, going through ups and downs, making some new friends along the way, it's been a life changing experience for me. I don't have a lot of friends beside school and work, but hoping to make more along the way. I love being outside, fishing, hunting, boating, watching movies(big movie buff), finding new restaurants to eat at, cooking at home and making new dishes, shooting at the gun range, surfing(but there are no waves here), diving, the beach, traveling, and all types of things I'm open to do anything. But sometimes just stay home cooking dinner and have a glass of wine or some type of cocktail and watching a movie will do for me. All my friends tell me that I'm a really nice guy, fun to be around with, always there for friends and family, honest (pretty straight forward), laid back, goal driven, know what I want in life, down to earth, sarcastic, love making people laugh and love to laugh too, a very big heart, cooking, thoughtful, a great listener, a romantic, and of course ready to party when called upon...lol...not too much though. I show I love and care, you would say I'm pretty old fashion. Sometimes action speak louder than words. I would like to meet someone that is caring and loving, honest, has a sense of humor, goal driving, live life to the fullest, never regrets what has happened in the past (everything happens for a reason), and excepts me for who I am. Someone that I can cook a nice romantic dinner and share how their day went and give them a massage and help them relax (I give great massages), not afraid to try new things. I would like to have a best friend to share my experiences with. Ask me anything hope to hear from you! Submitted from mobile

Video: Peter Lorinser On The Crusader For Kids Program
By Jennifer Leavitt
Special to GoHolyCross.com
As a kid growing up in Marquette Michigan, Peter Lorinser would look forward to the occasions when college hockey players would return home with stories about new experiences at school. He looked up to these guys who had succeeded in crossing the threshold from high school hockey to the collegiate level, an advancement he hoped to make in the future. He soaked up any advice they gave knowing one day he could be in their position. Now a senior hockey player at Holy Cross, Peter plays the same role as his childhood heroes. Through a program called Crusaders for Kids, he offers local Worcester elementary school students a chance to interact with, learn from, and simply have fun with Holy Cross athletes through a series of events planned throughout the year. Realizing how he had benefited from positive influences growing up, he aims to give back to the local inner city kids in the same way.
Crusader for Kids was originated by Cal St. Denis, a former Holy Cross hockey player in 2005. The program essentially takes the Big Brother Big Sisters concept and applies it to Holy Cross athletes (primarily the Hockey team) and a group of Grafton Street Elementary School 4th and 5th grade students. Throughout the year the program plans different events such as going to the movies or attending different athletic events (Holy Cross, Worcester Sharks, Harlem Globe Trotters, etc...), as well as different activities including bowling or pick-up basketball and touch football. When Peter was a freshman in 2007, Cal encouraged him and other players to get involved with the different events he planned as director. Peter regularly helped out and began to appreciate what a great program it was. Coming from a small town in Michigan, experiencing the life of the Worcester youth was eye opening. "The majority of these kids are not well off... I have never been in the situation they are in and it has made me see I took a lot for granted," said Lorinser. "The Crusaders for Kids program offers them a great opportunity to do something different and have fun, free of charge." When Cal graduated, Peter took over as director of the program realizing it would be a shame to let it go.
As director of the program since 2008, Peter's role is to first establish the group of kids who will be involved at the start of the year and to then set up events while keeping an open line of communication with parents. Peter also manages transportation details and informs team mates about upcoming plans so they can participate. Crusader for Kids Assistant Directors, Mark Znutas, junior hockey player, and Ryan Driscoll, senior hockey captain, help Peter in arranging the particulars associated with each activity. Jen Kagno, the Holy Cross Manager of Events and Promotions, also assists in the organization of events and making sure they go as planned. Like any other program, Crusader for kids runs into different problems. With conflicting schedules and the need for funding of each activity, it requires a lot of work, but in the end it has a positive impact on the children involved.
Peter can see the results of his hard work first hand. The program puts the kids in situations where they are outside of the comfort zone of their parents; they have to interact with adults and take direction. Peter says, "Being with the same kids year after year, you see their mannerisms improve. It's fun to watch them grow up." Perhaps there is some growing up seen on the other end as well. The hockey players who volunteer have come to understand the position they are in and what their role is in the community. Spending time with local kids who look up to them, they have come to realize how much they have in common. They are able to relate to these kids who are in such a different situation than they are in or have ever been in. Peter says being a part of Crusader for Kids has definitely changed a lot of perspectives.
At the same time, spending time with the children has served as an outlet for those involved and a fun and relaxing break from the stress associated with school and hockey. Peter says one event that stands out in his memory was a pickup basketball game at Holy Cross. Ten kids played against 10 hockey players- the kids won. Occasions like this example are chances for everyone to let go of their problems and just have fun. Although it may be something small, Peter says it makes a difference.
Both Cal and Peter, who hold Crusader for Kids close to their hearts, would like to see it expand and improve in the future. They hope to perfect the organization of the program so events occur on a regular basis (perhaps every other Wednesday). They would also like to establish more substantial funds for events that require money. Peter says hopefully after he graduates he can set up a fundraiser prior to the following school year so that money will be available to the following director, Znutas, whenever it is needed. In addition to improving their own program, Cal and Peter would like to help develop a Crusader for Kids specifically for girls. The idea is to have a girl's team (yet to be decided) do essentially the same thing the hockey team does, plan their own events for local Worcester girls.
Having had to manage the responsibilities of hockey, Crusader for Kids, a regular job at the rink, giving volunteer hockey lessons and regular school work, has challenged Peter and being a senior now, he says it has made him a better person. He worked in Washington D.C., this past summer in the U.S. Department of State as a Federal Assistance Intern. He says coming out of Holy Cross, he felt prepared having already learned how to manage a demanding schedule. Peter says some people ask him how he was able to keep up with academics while on the hockey team. He tells them, "hockey helps me to keep up with academics." Having an extra schedule with additional responsibilities has forced him to him to get things done in a timely manner, never leaving anything to the last minute. Having overcome the challenges each year has presented him, Peter now feels like he could handle just about anything.
All Peter wants to do the rest of his senior year is just "take it all in." He says it is weird knowing that after playing hockey for his entire life, the rest of this season holds his final games. "This is something I've been doing for so long and everything has been geared toward this." Trying not to think about it too much, he wants to embrace what he has left and at the end he can know he put everything he had into it. For the rest of the season, Peter says the team has to improve. "In the past, our records have been like a rollercoaster- we'd win a few then lose a few. This year I'd like to see us get progressively better. We have all the pieces, enough talent and ability; if we just continue to take the steps up the ladder and not get set back, we will do some damage and finish at the top of the league."
As for Peter's plans after graduation, he is still weighing his options. "I'm open-minded and it's somewhat difficult because I'm interested in just about everything." The political science major is considering graduate school and the Peace Corps, while thinking about jobs he has already gotten a taste for through internships. Whatever path Peter chooses will surely be paved with success. He has a passion for the all the things he becomes involved in and has an inherent desire to improve his environment. Whichever institution, company, or organization he chooses to be a part of will be very lucky to have him. They'll have to wait though; Peter is in no hurry for this part of his life to end. He won't be looking too far ahead; his focus is on today.

Thursday, 15 November 2012 10:45
January 10th.
Bellator has reversed a date at Boardwalk Hall in Atlantic City for the 2013 season debut, which is a Thursday, according to MMAJunkie.com. It had long been expected that Bellator would run Thursdays at 10 p.m. when Spike moved Impact up an hour, because it woudl provide Bellator with the best possible lead-in.
That may be the best bet for the spring, but for the same reason TNA has struggled in ratings the last few months, it is not the best bet in the fall. Based on Ultimate Fighter and Impact both on Thursday's against NFL in the past, the NFL hurt TUF, which draws more of a sports audience, than Impact, which is more soap opera in nature. There's no denying it hurts both.
Spike officials have said no decision has been made regarding the show and said they were looking at continuing on Friday, or perhaps moving to Wednesday. Both Spike and FX are seemingly playing a game wanting the other to make the announcement first and then making their own decision with that in mind.

Skin yeast infections are common in companion dogs. The most frequent culprit is a species of fungal yeast organisms called Malassezia pachydermatis. Because these yeast are part of the normal flora of a dog's skin, an infection only occurs when they reproduce and colonize without any of the normal controls and inhibitions imposed by a healthy immune system. Fortunately, yeast infections in dogs usually are not hard to treat. The goals of treating a canine yeast infection are to eliminate yeast overgrowth, relieve the dog's itchiness and other symptoms of discomfort, identify and treat any predisposing conditions, resolve the accompanying skin scaling, greasiness and foul odor, eliminate or at least manage secondary bacterial, viral or fungal infections, and reduce the risk of recurrence.
A number of different protocols are available to treat yeast infections in dogs. In most cases, the attending veterinarian first recommends application of topical anti-seborrheic, antibiotic, anti-fungal and/or anti-yeast medications. These come in a variety of formulations, including medicated shampoos, solutions, dips, lotions, creams, rinses, sprays, wipes and even powders. Some of these topical treatments are benzoyl peroxide, boric/acetic acid, clotrimazole, miconazole, ketoconazole, sulfur/salicylic acid, phytosphingosine, selenium sulfide, terbinafine, lime sulfur, enilconazole and chlorhexidine. There are others. Most topical medications are applied several times a week. Some are supposed to be applied to the dog's skin and coat daily for a certain period of time.
Prescription oral anti-fungal drugs may be warranted in cases of severe yeast infection, or for those dogs that do not respond sufficiently to topical therapies. Currently, ketoconazole, itraconazole, fluconazole and terbinafine have been used with some success as multi-week, long-term oral anti-yeast treatments for skin infections in dogs. Oral anti-yeast medications typically are given for at least 1 to 2 weeks after all signs of infection have gone away. Usually, the initial course of treatment lasts for a minimum of 3 to 4 weeks, and sometimes longer. Dogs that develop secondary Staphylococcal or other bacterial infections should be treated with oral antibiotics, at an appropriate dose and for an appropriate duration. Dogs with recurrent yeast infections may benefit from something called "pulse therapy." This involves administering an oral azole anti-yeast/anti-fungal drug either for 2 consecutive days each week, or daily for one week, then taking 1 to 4 weeks off, and repeating the cycle. Azoles tend to concentrate in the skin. Of course, addressing and resolving the underlying cause of any infection is the best way to manage its course. Owners of dogs with skin yeast infections should consult closely with their veterinarian about the potential side effects of any drug therapy, especially if the dog may be used as part of a breeding program down the road.
The prognosis for dogs with yeast infections is generally quite good. Some dogs will require periodic lifelong treatments to manage outbreaks. A veterinarian is the best person to provide advice as to the appropriate treatment options for any particular dog.

Farmer's Reserve Citrus
7% ABV | 375ml bottles & limited draft
Available June 2014
Citrus and beer have always made a great pair, ever since the first lemon wedge was added to a cold wheat beer. Here we expand on that tradition in a new way, melding the intensely aromatic zest of Buddha's Hand citrons with the bracing tartness of Bergamot oranges in a sour blonde ale aged in wine barrels. Pair with sushi or flakey white fish or contrast with earthy roasted root vegetables.
Farm to Barrel
Our Farm to Barrel beers focus on the eons-old tradition of aging beers in oak barrels. This American wild ale was aged in used wine casks with our house "Dogpatch" sour culture, a cocktail of wild Belgian and American yeasts, including San Francisco sourdough starter. The yeasts slowly morph the beer from a traditional ale into something wild, creating a mild acidic bite as well as pulling oak and vanilla flavors from the barrel. After maturing, the barrels are blended together—creating a vinous, delicate beer that captures the essence of a particular harvest. Farm to Barrel Beers are alive in the bottle, and will continue to mature gracefully for several years.

I bought AHS's 130,000 BTU coal boiler (S130) a few years ago and had it plumbed into the fuel oil-fired, hot water, forced hot air system already in the basement. Our house is large, my wife likes it at 71 degrees, and I have put something like 20 tons of coal through it at $300 per ton of coal. The heating cost difference between coal and fuel oil is between three and four fold, so my boiler is closing in on paying for itself twice. The downside, of course, is hoisting 40 pound bags of coal into the hopper and disposing of the ash, but that takes an average of 10 minutes per day. Besides, I like exercise for which I am being paid (as opposed to paying for exercise!). Contrary to what most people guess about the "dirtiness" of using coal to heat, essentially no coal dust or ash escapes during the loading and operation of the boiler and removal of ash. I found the adjustment, maintenance and cleaning of the boiler to be easy for a mechanically-minded, do it yourselfer like myself. When I need advice or help beyond the manual, a call to AH has always given me the information or help I need.

Just wanted to let you know how delighted I am with my E140 Wood Gun. I had it up and running on November 1st. As you know we have had record breaking cold temperatures this winter season in the northeast. On Nov. 1st I had 430 gallons of propane. We use propane to heat our 4000 square foot home. We also use it for cooking and for our clothes dryer. We have many meals and lots of Laundry. As of February 24th I still have 400 gallons of propane in my tank and the house has been nice and toasty all winter. I have radiant heat and use a simple heat exchanger to transfer the heat from the hot water of the wood gun to my hot water heating system. I have received great support from your whole staff and appreciate your patience with answering all my many questions. I feel I made an excellant decision in purchasing the E140.
Thanks again,

As another heating season is upon us I wanted to say thanks again for Your help in My choosing the E-100 Wood Gun. The Wood Gun works just as you said it would. I am very pleased with it's performance. With the domestic hot water coil we don't have to wait on the electric water heater to catch up and it saves on the electric bill. I have the Wood Gun hooked to a radiant floor system. The constant temperature is much better than the hot air heat we did have.The Wood Gun with it's cycling on and off as needed burns less wood. I can't say anything negative about the Wood Gun.
ThankYou and Everyone at Alternate Heating for such a good MADE IN THE USA product.

I just completed the heating season with my S130 Coalgun I purchased from you last year. It worked flawlessly!! Maintenence was simple and quick. The Thermo Ash Monitor Control worked well and ensured complete combustion which added to my savings! I saved over $7,000.00 dollars over what my Oil Burner would have cost me!!! Thank you for building a great product. I will buy another on for my next home as well!!!

Greetings, I have a Coal Gun I purchased last winter. It has been a great money saver and very easy to operate! Thanks for all your assistance in the setup and operation of my Coalgun!!

I am writing to tell you how pleased I am with my new furnace. I live in an old farm house in Prince Edward Island, Canada. Over the years, I have used at various times, airtight stoves, an airtight range and most recently a Kerr wood boiler for heat. In the cold part of the winter, all of these wood burning appliances have necessitated me getting up in the middle of the night to add more wood to prevent the house from getting too cold. Thanks to the AHS E-140 woodgun boiler that I installed last fall, my days of getting up in the middle of the night are over! My expectations for this boiler have been surpassed at every level. It is easy to operate, easy to clean and easy on wood. My only regret is that I didn't buy one sooner.

I would like to recognize the great customer service that Alternate Heating Systems has provided me in the installation and start up of the E180 furnace. After a season that was essentially a learning curve, we requested that someone from Alternate Heating Systems view the installation and evaluate if all was proper. Carl Forney visited my home... on December 15, 2008. As I have gotten older, I have appreciated great customer service more. Unfortunately, it seems to be a rarer event these days. However, Carl was a perfect example of customer service. when he showed up at the house, he 'owned' any issues we were having. I was not treated as a customer but as a friend or family who was going to get all the help he could provide. I am convinced that whatever it would take to make sure that I am satisfied is exactly what he plans on doing. My thanks to Alternate Heating Systems and Carl for the assistance in making certain that the furnace was operating at top efficiency.

The post to which Thompson links, by Eugene Wei, is excellent. Clear and interesting even to a non-economist. I find this remarkable: "Amazon could have had a margin of zero and still made money." But maybe it's unremarkable to someone who knows business.
Also, Apple depends on, to some extent, being 'cool' and that has a history of fading.
I am kayaking the Inside Passage from Olympia to Skagway, AK this May and June. Does that count?
