"The global economic downturn has created an extremely challenging environment for the aesthetic industry," said Cynosure President and Chief Executive Officer Michael Davin. "After achieving 13 consecutive quarters of year-over-year, double-digit percentage revenue growth, our revenue declined sharply in the fourth quarter as a number of prospective customers faced tighter lending standards and some physicians opted to delay planned capital equipment purchases."
"As previously announced, Cynosure has taken a number of steps to bring expenses in line with current revenue levels," Davin said. "We have reduced our worldwide headcount by 17%, decreased spending on multiple programs and implemented other cost-control initiatives. Together, we expect these actions to produce an annualized savings of approximately $8 million to $10 million as we work toward managing the business profitably in 2009."
"Despite the economic headwinds, we believe Cynosure concluded 2008 in a strong competitive position," Davin said. "During 2008, we extended our track record of innovation with the introduction of three new workstations, including Smartlipo MPX(TM) for laser lipolysis, Accolade(TM) for the removal of pigmented lesions, and Affirm CO2(TM) for advanced ablative therapy. We also rolled out a series of technology enhancements such as the SmartSense(TM) intelligent energy delivery system and the Affirm Er wavelength for anti-aging applications. For customers, these solutions raise the bar for efficacy and safety in the aesthetic industry, and further differentiate the Cynosure brand."
Full-Year Results
For the 12 months ended December 31, 2008, revenues increased

While Marcos Baghdatis was busting racquets at the Australian Open, his opponent, Stanislas Wawrinka was busy stealing moves from Seinfeld's Frank Costanza. Frank -- Where's your friend, Stan? Busted Racquet -- I don't know, why? Frank -- Because I'm looking for him, that's why. He stopped short. Busted Racquet -- Well, what do you mean? Frank -- On the court, with the ball girl. He stopped short. You think I don't know what that's about? That's my old move! I used it on her 40 years ago! I told everybody about it. Everybody knows! (Reaches out left arm, squeezes right hand.) Ooh, I stopped short. Racquet clap to Deadspin

How does one make a liquid plastic dip?
try Clay Alley in gettysburg PA.
im wondering if u ever got your answer :)
Hello i have about 3 cases of Plastic Baking Paste That Is Used To Make Plastic Flowers And Foliage and even have about 500 Aluminum Molds That Were Used To Make The Flowers I even have 2 of the Rubber Molds to make the metal molds ,Thought about scrapping them out but havent yet and have had them for over 10 years
- Have you tried mixing white glue with acrylic paint?
I was not able, however, to find any description of what the material actually contains. From what I can gather, it is some kind of acrylic resin (perhaps similar to ultra-thick embossing enamel?) dissolved in toluene. The toluene is apparently the reason the quick-drying type of fantasy film is no longer sold in the US or Canada.
See if you can convince House of Handicrafts to give you the detailed MSDS (materials data safety sheet) with the ingredients list and approximate proportions of the toxic ingredients. They are required by law to provide it, though they may have 'not gotten around to testing' some of the properties, or may provide it in a less than timely fashion. If you do get a copy, you might be able to get the Answer you were looking for.
If you can't, try another company. Similar products: Vitriflore, Tauchlack, Formafilm, Whimsy Dip, Fantasy Film, Resiflor, Fun Film, Dippity Glas, Joli Plastics...

Are you in the mood for some drama??? LOL
Okay, well, my joy at having an empty room above me was short-lived
Yesterday a new guy rented the apartment. My landlord said that the guy was great, didn't smoke or drink and was a soldier. I saw him from a distance and he was pretty skinny so I figured that at least his walking around over my head wouldn't be as noisy seeing as Ken was about twice his size.
My dad called and he had sent me some money to buy new tires, he really was worried about me driving around on the ones that came with the car. It took Walmart 3 hours to get my tires on and the oil changed. I had asked them to replace the windshield wipers as well. So when I got back 2 hours later the tires were on, but no oil change. The oil pressure meter said no oil pressure so they didn't want to change the oil. I had to sign a waver form saying that I knew there was no oil pressure. I'm not sure what that meant, I figured it's just the gage that didn't work. They also didn't put the wipers on, so I ran into the store and bought some wipers and handed them to the woman behind the counter.
Finally an hour later they were done and I drove off, only to discover that they still hadn't put the new wipers on!!! Ahhhh.
So today I'll go back and see what they did with them.
As I got home the new guy was too, and guess what? It was like Ken was back. LOL
He took off a little while later and around 9 someone knocked on my door, I figured it was my landlord dropping off the mail as there was no mail in the mailbox that day. Was I ever surprised to see a cop in front of my door ( a very handsome one I have to admit
) He asked me if there was a Mary living there and I told him upstairs. Turns out she had called the cops because of the new guy, she didn't trust him because he was black! Holy cow that woman is strange!!!
The cop couldn't open the entry door to knock on her door cause she had locked it! He asked if I had heard any sounds of foul play, and I said no. He asked me a few more questions about the new tenant, and other than what my landlord had told me I didn't know. He said he'd be back.
Then around 11 my landlord called me, the new guy couldn't get in, Mary had locked the entry door, and the new guy didn't have a key to it, if I could please grab a broom and knock on the ceiling to wake Mary up to open the door.
So I grabbed my hammer and pounded on the beam near her bed. She woke up for sure and I hollered at her to open the door for the new guy. Strangely enough she did, which I hadn't thought she would. I had to laugh when I heard her pushing away some heavy furniture from the door before going outside and opening the entry door. Of course she pushed it back into place after she went inside. Then I had to go out in my PJs and tell the new guy in the car that he could go in.
I wonder how this story is going to unfold .. My own personal TV drama above my head!
Am I awake, or am I dreaming?

Anyone ?
Here's the story:
I bought the People's edition of WWE '12 and it came with the online axxess of course . Well this is the first time I had to put in a code for online things (I'm a new ps3 user) so I though the code took care of all the online business but then I go to the shop and I come across the fan axxess for $11.99 . That makes sure I get all the DLC (for free?) So I was just googling the code to see if I could find it cheaper and I came across the fan axxess code generator . (if you google it you'll find it) . Anyway, is it real ? I would check it myself but it makes you take a survey to unlock it and those never work for me . :-(
Anyone ?
Here is a tip, if it makes you take a survey it's usually fake, bud.
Don't get Pwnied.

The AcceleDent™ system is a lightweight oral appliance, similar to an athletic mouth guard, which is worn for only 20 minutes per day and uses SoftPulseTM Technology to help Invisalign® treatment work faster. It accomplishes this by generating small vibrations called 'micropulses'
"The average Invisalign® case I treat takes about 10 to 12 months, and with the AcceleDent™ I can now cut that patient treatment time in half to only 5 to 6 months," says Dr. Goran Kralj, D.D.S., co-founder of ORA® Dental Studio. "In addition, the AcceleDent™ system works with Invisalign® to deliver more predictable results in complex cases by enhancing the bone remodeling process that leads to more ideal and predictable tooth movement."
The AcceleDent™ represents the first successful clinical approach to accelerate orthodontic tooth movement in a non-invasive and non-pharmacological manner. The AcceleDent™ has been available for use in Europe since 2009, and after a series of successful clinical trials recently received FDA approval as a class II medical device for use in the United States. The AcceleDent™ system has been extensively researched and studied clinically as a complement to both conventional fixed orthodontic appliances and Invisalign® removable aligners.
"The AcceleDent™ system allows anyone to achieve quicker results, and is ideal for people who want to improve their smile in time for a special occasion such as such as a wedding, reunion, or graduation,"

funny, smart & self-aware ;-)
I'm an outgoing gal with a kind heart and a big personality. I love to dance, cook for friends, spend time outside in any capacity, and have new experiences that put me outside of my comfort zone. By nature I'm curious, independent, and introspective. I'm also pretty active and love to travel whenever I can. Whether it's a hike, out of town to Mendocino for the weekend or a trip to New York, movement feeds my soul and it would be lovely to find a guy who feels that way too :-) A little background info... I was born in SF and grew up in the Bay Area. I like to strike a balance between being in wild places and enjoying the amazing urbanite culture at our fingertips. I've lived in the middle of nowhere and in the middle of the city, and this has created an appreciation within me for many different lifestyles. Professionally, I'm an entrepreneur whose been working to start a company focused on sustainable design and consulting. My work is an expression of my creativity and I love pushing the boundaries of thought regarding regenerative systems. Particularly, I'm interested in the interaction between built environments, ecosystems and what we've created as humans socially and culturally. I will likely go back to school for an MArch in the next few years, and know that my passion is in expanding my potential as a designer. For me, being able to connect with someone and have great conversations is one of the most important components of dating, this is what finding someone special is all about. I'm also a big fan of kindness, honesty, confidence and having fun, and in general I like to connect in a deep way. I appreciate it when a man can meet me where I'm at, both intellectually and emotionally, and also likes to just goof off ;-) When I'm in a relationship I tend to be 'all in,' and see this as an opportunity not only for closeness but for growth as individuals. Finally, I'm grateful everyday for the beauty and awesomeness of life! And believe that this is a really powerful place to operate from. Thanks for reading! If any of this resonates with you, I'd love to say hello.

It is the mission of the Columbia River Fisheries Program Office (CRFPO) to assist in determining the status of imperiled natural stocks, to evaluate management measures for recovery and assist in the recovery of these stocks, and to prevent future listings. The CRFPO's primary contribution to these activities is to design and implement monitoring and evaluation, coordination, and dissemination of fisheries information. The CRFPO also provides for science-based management of aquatic resources on federal and tribal lands in the area from the Columbia River mouth upstream to McNary Dam and in other areas throughout the Columbia River Basin that have been and continue to be affected by anthropogenic actions of a regional scale. Providing technical assessment, interagency coordination, and representation on technical and policy level workgroups, committees, councils, and commissions for hydrosystem, hatchery, harvest, and habitat management are the key work tasks for the CRFPO.

the subject(s) in question were added in photoshop, there originally,
or is there some other feature option ?---
IF there originally what are the options? Strong advocate in images with good resolution. Comments appreciated . My guess is if you thought you saw something special you had the pilot (you?) head back for more views and possibly more images. If more people incorporated planes for viewing I presume that would add to the observations and those would be enhanced by images taken from lenses of significance.

I know what you mean, I had to sit in the open doorway of one of the old CG helis once. Not for the faint of heart...
And a little teeny white speck on an enormous ocean sure doesn't present itself as a "landing zone".
Do you ever take airborne video, or are you mainly focusing on stills? HD camcorders are pretty cheap now, and movement will always pop out from the images (similar to your animated gifs).
Very nice airborne imagery, BTW.

The trouble with a fixed wing trip like this is that you can not see everything there is to see during it, hence the photography. The plane is traveling just too quickly (just under 100 miles an hour). I would not compare it to someone discovering an anomaly in their pictures taken on the ground and much later finding it. It takes a lot of effort in going over the images later. The very first picture I posted took an hour to weed through. I took 456 still images, 2 hrs of Hi Def video and about 40 minutes of thermal on this trip.
I have done the same in a helicopter. The helicopter is just as expensive but only lasts for 1 hour. The advantage is that you could, if need be, land and check something out, plus of course the reduced speed.
The dark object I have focused in on is not photoshoped in. It is real, what ever it is. If we are to take it for a human shaped animal, the left shoulder has a light area on it, possibly indicating a roundness to it.. There seems to be a shadow cast to the right and behind the animal, as if it is standing upright.
If we are to take it for a shadow under those rocks, the light area could be the underside of the rocks having some fill light from the ground and the shadow to the right on the ground, that coming from some sharp rocky projections.
At best, the image is inconclusive... now if it had raised it's arm...

Good lighting could establish a uniform color of the subject.
Time of year could argue against a man in a gullie suit.
Proportinal study could reveal non- human proportions using congruent or incongruent triangles which don't require actual measurements but consistent data points, similar to how I can compare the leg mass of Patty with Bob H. and a body builder.

Can you not see that each of the wallow pictures does have elk in them?

Very nice. Riding around in a vibrating/moving aircraft for long times is impractical, though mounting a high powered spotting scope on a high prospect that allows for extended observations across longer distances of a sizeable habitat in high aspect/mountainous terraine has always been a idea that I'd like to pursue some day if the opportunity arises.
I totally agree... but where do you set up to observe from? I always find myself second guessing my choices and saying something like... bet there's a better chance right on the other side of that ridge. LOL. That is where the needle in the haystack pokes at ya.

I would add that I think Hunster's concept of using a boat along some stretches of the inside-passage coastline in the Pacific Northwest and up to Alaska's Prince William Sound region, which he's mentioned from time to time, is also an intriguing idea for similar reasons, though my personal experiences in observing animals on the coast (which are without question spectacular and remarkable) in that area lead me to think that the viewing leaves much to be desired; rain, fog and fata morgana.
You are right in that there is no perfect or ideal location, but observing over the long term without one's own presence being detected seems to me the best way to see whatever is going on, particulary if the quarry one seeks possesses an acute awareness of what is going on within its immediate, and even more distant surroundings, as I suspect a truly smart and experienced human, even an ancestral one, would.

I'd mentioned that Comet and I drove cross country a few times in the van with a motorcycle on board. One of those trips was to www.tailofthedragon.com and then up Washington DC to participate in the grand opening of the Smithsonian for Native Americans. It was on that trip that I met advrider n00b tkfisher's family, relatives from my mom's side. And they REALLY took a likin to Comet. So for them, and a few others, we'll start this off with a silhouette shot of my little buddy walkin the beach.
Then it's on to my aforementioned sunset in Southeast shots. Know that none of the following eight shots have had anything done to them except cropping and downsizing. That's how beautiful of an evening it was! Just before an amazing thunder and lightening storm blew in that dumped buckets of rain with about a 50mph wind blowin! Ya hoo fun!
Comet and I were parked out on this pier when I took the above shots. The storm you see beyond my van is what blew in with such great ferociousness. We were also presented with a very spectacular lightning display before it blew in. Awesome! Oh, and rest assured, Comet isn't bothered by such things. He, like me, seems rather to enjoy such extreme and exciting conditions.

Let's begin to wrap up this little "back to my roots" adventure, shall we? :uhhuh
Had to get up early to catch the MV Lituya over to Ketchikan. It's named for Lituya Bay in Southeast where the largest "recorded" tsunami ever occurred back in 1958. It was over 1,700ft/500m tall and the occupants of two different boats rode it out and survived!
Yes, Comet spends a lot of time on the carpeted dash when we travel.
On a goofy side note: The day before while riding my bicycle around town I stopped at someone's yard sale and bought some fancy European jeans for $5 without even haggling. The the pretty lady said her husband had only worn them a couple times before "outgrowing them." When I told her I was catching the ferry the next day she told me her husband is the skipper of the Lituya and to go up and say hello. Coming from the "big city" and being all caught up in the "9-11 terrorist/homeland security" way of thinking I was amazed at the still relaxed attitude of being able to visit a crew up in the wheelhouse of a commercial vessel. Too cool and IMO as it should be. I had noticed on my way over to Metlakatla a couple weeks earlier that many people seem to be going up and down the stairs leading to the wheelhouse to visit just like they used to in the "old days." A good example of how things still are on and around Annette. Fun.
Coming into my birthplace, Ketchikan. As you may be able to tell, most of the town is on pretty steep terrain.
Took this trying to illustrate said steepness.
Here's where I was born back when it was still a hospital.
Hey look! I even ran into a couple parked GS'! Cool. They had Alaska plates.
I had time drive north of town and visit Saxman Totem Park before catching the big ferry to Haines.
I had chosen to ride the flagship of the Alaska Marine Highway, the MV Columbia back north for a few reasons. One, it's sailing schedule worked out the best for me to offload and walk Comet in the three ports between Ketchikan and Haines. Also, being the largest ship in the fleet I hoped having more passengers meant an even bigger "party" up in the "oh so social" solarium. I wish I'd ridden the MV Malaspina back up instead tho. Having now ridden all the Alaska State Ferries, I now know like the layout of the Malaspina the best. It's also the only ferry with WiFi. Tho my choosing the Columbia did prove to be serendipitous.
Yet another example of how good the weather was most the time during this trip. Hand held, shot from the ship, showing the stillness of the ocean. The Perseid Meteor Shower was also a lot of fun to watch while laying out on the back deck at night.
Approaching Juneau, which is the last stop heading north before Haines, we were limping along at half speed because of some as of yet undiagnosed engine trouble. We were notified over the intercom that our arrival into Juneau would be delayed. Upon arrival we were then then notified that our departure would be delayed "till further notice" as nobody seemed to know as of yet the seriousness of said engine trouble.
There was continued hope among both passengers and crew that maybe we'd still be able to head back north the next day. So many of us offloaded and proceeded to just hangout and/or explore the area.
These two guys had just gotten off another ferry from Bellingham and were preparing to take two months paddling home to Washington State. Cool.
I, and a few others, helped them carry their "ton-o-gear" down the steep and rocky shore.
Bon Voyage.
It was a beautiful day and I decided to do a little "recon" drive around the area as it was my first time to really spend any time in Juneau. I wanted to maybe find a nice beach for Comet and to see if it might be worth unloading the Duc to further explore the area. The ferry terminal is about 14mi outside of Juneau and we found this nice little beach on the other side of town. That's the Mount Roberts Tramway up high in the background.
Yay! Beach sticks and water!
Unloading the Duc really proved to be MOST worth it as well!
I was hoping maybe our "prettiest Governor in the Nation" Sarah Palin might see me and want to come out and do some posing with me and my lovely Duc in front of her office. Maybe next time?
In total I ended up riding the Duc about 126mi around the area!!! It was fantastic! Actually one of my most memorable riding days ever! An absolutely gorgeous day, spectacular scenery, and twisty undulating roads along water's edge. I rode to the end of the road on Douglas Island then to the end of the road past the ferry terminal to Echo Cove.
I was SO happy to be "dancin in the corners" with the Duc again with such awesome surroundings!
Alright. Enough of that ecstatic fun stuff already.
As many of you have now probably heard, the engine trouble on Columbia proved to be serious enough to pull it out of service for the entire rest of the season! How serious you ask? How about a bad big end bearing and cracked piston connecting rod bad! That's how bad. Yea baby, can't get much worse than that. Believe me, I know. That's EXACTLY what happened to my first Ducati 996 engine years ago!
Of course these troubles were on a slightly different scale. When I told one of the mechanics I'd gone through the same thing with my motorcycle he reminded me of how this rod probably weighed more than my whole bike. Ya think?!? How'd he know I rode a sportbike and not a cruiser?
I was one of the last people to offload before the ship left for drydock in Ketchikan and got some photographic evidence.
Ok, now how to get to Haines? Originally I was told the first available space for my vehicle wouldn't be for a couple MORE days! Then, lucky for many of us stranded "cagers," the new fast ferry Fairweather was able to do a double round trip up to Haines and Skagway to get us stragglers north.
I do feel badly for all those who had connections and plans that were disrupted. All told it was an extra 30 hour layover for us in Juneau. The Columbia's troubles from this sailing have been written up in the paper a couple times and just today it was mentioned how there's now only going to be ONE ferry going to and from Bellingham, WA for the rest of the season.
Next: Our final leg home. Hang on, we're almost there. Mark H.

Yep, got me a ride on the new fast ferry Fairweather.
And man, I'm here to tell you, that sucker FLIES! The normal cruising speed of the other State Ferries is around 16 knots. The Fairweather's four jets push it along at 32 knots and for our trip the skipper bumped it up to 38! That's about 44mph! Cool.
The insides are pretty nice too.
So because of the Columbia's breakdown I was I not only able to enjoy this maritime marvel but I also had one of my best days ever ridin the Duc while exploring even more of our wondrous State in 'The Great White North'!
That, and I had the great fortune of making a wonderful new friend named Cheryl. She had been on-board since Bellingham and was on her way to be a Physician's Assistant out in Aniak near Bethel. We caravaned from Haines to Anchorage where she had a couple days before she headed out into "the bush."
I love serendipity and synchronicity.
Headed north again on four wheels.
I always enjoy these lovely mountains just north of Anchorage as I get closer to my "big city" home.
Well, that about does it for this little Indian, dogbrother Comet, and our journey back to the Res. I appreciate your taking the time to partake in this sharing. Thank you.
I'm also glad to hear that for some of you it's piqued an interest in experiencing it for yourselves. Yes, visitors are welcome.
Take care, Mark H.

I'm touched by how many people here, and on other msg boards that I linked up, were so moved by the pics and the story of my visiting relatives. Granted it is a very lovely area and a bit less accessible which contributes to it's uniqueness.
I'm very glad to have been able to share it with you all.

That was wonderful! Great photos, great commentary! As someone else posted, you made a mini-van trip sound exciting.
Back in the days when I lived in Ketchikan we had to land at the Annette Island airport, then be shuttled over to the city in a Grumman Goose. But that was all I ever got to see of Annette Island, other than the cove at the far northwest corner of the island, which was always a favorite for beachcombing. Your photos showed Annette to be a beautiful location, and Metlakatla certainly a hometown to be proud of. Thanks for taking us along and sharing your fun.

We had only two days on Mana, and did nothing but relaxing on the beach / taking an occasional stroll. But the agency / the accomodation offers a choice of activities, amongst them a trip to the location of "Castaway", which was filmed on one of the islands on this picture.Related to:
- Arts and Culture
- Beaches
- Backpacking
Mana Island Hotels
Mana Island Resort
33 Namoli Street, Mana Island, Fiji
Satisfaction: Very Good
Good for: Business
Mana Island Transportation
Boat to Manu island
Some Resorts have there own boat transfer (for instance Ratu Kini leaving Nadi/Smugglers Cove about 10.30 and Mana about 12), including transer from Nadi airport, Nadi hotels and some other islands (Bounty island for instance), retourne is Fiji $ 100.
Nadi to Mana by air
Pacific Sun has 2-3 flights per day, but cancels flights for some days somtimes (early april 2010 for instance), about Fiji$ 100.
A beautiful sea journey!
If you book your accomodation in advance the agent can arrange for you to be picked up at the Nadi airport. Our trip was arranged by the agent who "shanghaied" us at the airport, we were driven to the harbour and I must honestly say that I do not know the exact location of it. Just found the name Denarau Marina on another web site. The katamaran looked new / well maintained, and the crew was very professional.
Return fare is 80 Fiji Dollars.Related to:

Mana Island Local Customs
Class distinction
The gate on the picture is the entrance to a resort with bungalows, pools etc. We, the backpackers, were not allowed into this area, it was fenced in. To get to Mereani's we had to walk along the beach. A weird and for us unknown feeling beeing considered as low class like this. Thought-provoking.Related to:
- Backpacking
Mana Island Warnings and Dangers
Low flying aircraft!
On a walk around the island we found this airfield. The path goes across the airstrip, and there was a sign warning us about incoming and outgoing aircraft! Not that we saw any ;-)Related to:

Originally written on NBC Dallas- Fort Worth | Last updated 10/7/11
The owner of the Dallas Cowboys' longest kick return in 2011 thus far isn't who you'd think. It's not Dez Bryant or Dwayne Harris, dynamic playmakers who could seemingly go for six at any time. Rather, it's Sean Lissemore, the back-up defensive end who is listed at 6-foot-4 and 306 pounds. In what was easily the most amusing play of last week's Cowboys-Lions game, Detroit's kicker, Jason Hanson, slipped and fell on a kickoff. The kick found the arms of Lissemore, who returned it 38 yards--as we've said, the longest return of the season for Dallas, and the longest since December of last year. "I made the first cut and I felt like I was in space, so I was like, 'Oh, this is pretty good,' then I was thinking about getting up the sideline and protecting the ball," Lissemore said, per ESPN Dallas. "I wish I would've switched the ball so I could have stiff armed the guy. I don't know. Beggars can't be choosers, know what I mean?" After the game, Lissemore's phone was teeming wit

They feel bad, so they found you these other deals to make up for it.

Equity Painting and Design Inc.Read MoreEquity Painting and Design Inc.'s team can breathe new life into an old home with a fresh coat of paint and an array of home-improvement services. During design consultations with homeowners, the crew helps devise a plan to increase the value of the house, which may include painting a few rooms, building a deck, or insulating walls with $20 bills. Their home-improvement repertoire also includes drywall installation, staining, kitchen remodeling, and old wood restoration. They are able to accomplish such aesthetic feats with help from a supply of environmentally friendly products, including GreenSure paints that are free of volatile organic compounds.PO Box 17635Boulder, CO US
Angerman HardwoodsRead MoreThe inspiration for Angerman Hardwoods came in 1986, when a family friend asked Chuck Angerman if he'd help install hardwood flooring in a mountain home. Angerman agreed, and they set to work; when the project was done, he marveled at the beauty of the floor's wood grain, and at how the floor changed the home's entire aesthetic. He launched Angerman Hardwoods the following year with the help of his partner, Cynthia. Today, the Angerman draws on decades of experience to bring out the beauty of hardwoods. Specialists sand floors using Bona dust containment sanding equipment that virtually eliminates airborne dust, and they refinish floors using a waterborne polyurethane that gleams for up to eight years. They also install all-new hardwood, bamboo, laminate, and cork flooring. They've strived to provide high-quality customer service in addition to high-quality products, earning an A+ from the Better Business Bureau.7562 Fenton StArvada, CO US
A Plus Mini's Self StorageRead MoreA Plus Mini's Self Storage rents spaces large and small, from closet-sized units to ones that can hold the contents of a five-bedroom house. Providing drive-up, walk-up and easy access, we offer secure and clean units ? that are accessible 365 days a year. (970) 226-5625165 Colboard DrFort Collins, CO US
Renewal by AndersenRead MoreTo say that Renewal by Andersen has high standards for its window installers might be an understatement. For the chance to even apply for the position, an installer must have replaced at least 5,000 windows. And when this prospective technician is considered for employment, there's still only a one in three chance he or she will even be hired. Once they finally make the cut, that lucky third of installers are EPA certified in lead safety, and they refresh their skills with another 40 training hours each year. When homeowners put out their broken-or-ugly-window distress signal, the technicians respond with a varied selection of window and door options. They do so swiftly—each Andersen crew averages 1,000 replacements per year. And the installers' meticulous nature and attention to detail don't end when they pop in that final pane. After they've replaced the window, they clean up with an industrial vacuum estimated to be 47% more efficient than a typical home vac. Only when a homeowner goes through a 10-point inspection checklist with the team leader, and signs off on the cleanup, does Andersen consider its job done.5832 South College AvenueFort Collins, CO US
Affordable Carpet CareRead MoreAffordable Carpet Care revitalizes floors using the high-torque motors of the Rotovac 360 cleaning system, creating powerful steam baths that leave homes free of pollutants and dust. With each pass of the powerful machine, a confluence of vacuum slots, deep-scrubbing, and spray jets pulverize impounded stains with hot-water extraction. Floor surfaces benefit from 750 multidirectional cleaning passes per minute, sacrificing trapped dirt and long-lost LaserDisc remotes. Affordable Carpet Care can provide spot treatments on an individual basis.14421 West Archer AvenueGolden, CO US
Ruffs Barbecue ShoppeRead MoreStocking a vast selection that features nearly a hundred sauces, over 150 spices and rubs, and natural hardwoods ranging from cherry to mesquite, Ruff's Barbecue Shoppe outfits pit-masters for year-round barbecuing and smoking. Wood chips from alder, hickory, and maple trees and low-ash, even-heat mesquite and hickory pellets smolder inside smokers from Traeger, American Barbecue Systems, and Big Green Egg. Ruff's year-round classes display the art of summery eating no matter the season, teaching students how to pack buns with pulled pork or train brisket to come when called.1921 Youngfield St.Golden, CO US

Whether it's a treasure hunt on Jewell Island, Maine, a sunny afternoon on the rocks at Peggy's Cove, Nova Scotia, or a dip in the ocean on Prince Edward Island, life by the sea is fun. This gloriously illustrated picture book is a celebration of all things coastal: humpback whales, teeming wildlife, and most of all, people who make their homes by the ocean. Seaside life is shown in twenty-six magnificent illustrations. The alliterative text and the detailed notes at the back make the book as informative as it is beautiful. For those lucky enough to have visited the coast, as well as those who only dream of the sea, this book is a feast for the eyes and for the spirit.From the Hardcover edition.

If you really like someone, but they don't like you back, how do you get them to like you?
guys what do you like best that girls do. so that I can impress him somehow.
Most Helpful Opinion
I like it when girls just chat with me.. smile.. laugh.. simple stuff. Exchange numbers and text him once in a while. Text him to hang out sometime and make it obvious that you like him(not overly obvious so you come off as a slut) and if he likes you at that moment, he will make a move. If he doesn't then it's not meant to be.
What Guys Said 2
What Girls Said 2
Does he know you like him? If not, I would flirt with him to let him know...smile, eye contact, etc. If he knows and he still isn't showing interest or doesn't like you, then just go on doing your own thing...sometimes they end up coming around and sometimes they dont. Just don't overwhelm him or come across as desparate. There ARE other fish in the sea, so if he ends up not liking you in the end, life does goes on. Trust me...we have all been there and will be there more than once. :)

WASHINGTON– Based on extensive recent scientific evidence about the harmful effects of ground-level ozone, or smog, EPA is proposing to strengthen air quality standards to within a range of 65 to 70 parts per billion (ppb) to better protect Americans' health and the environment, while taking comment on a level as low as 60 ppb. The Clean Air Act requires EPA to review the standards every five years by following a set of open, transparent steps and considering the advice of a panel of independent experts. EPA last updated these standards in 2008, setting them at 75 ppb.
"Bringing ozone pollution standards in line with the latest science will clean up our air, improve access to crucial air quality information, and protect those most at-risk. It empowers the American people with updated air quality information to protect our loved ones – because whether we work or play outdoors – we deserve to know the air we breathe is safe," said EPA Administrator Gina McCarthy. "Fulfilling the promise of the Clean Air Act has always been EPA's responsibility. Our health protections have endured because they're engineered to evolve, so that's why we're using the latest science to update air quality standards – to fulfill the law's promise, and defend each and every person's right to clean air."

What Nvidia card to choose for a Multimedia platform?
I have build a gaming machine Windows Pro AMD 64 X2, Nvidia chip motherbaord, Nvidia 7900 GFX and it's up and running.
For any seriuous work I have my Linux Workstation and it's now time to upgrade it.
Asus Nforce 570 Ultra.
Monitor: LG Flatron Slim 1280x1024 digital/analog
Aged TV: only have the s connector.
Cable Radio/TV.
Google Earth is prolly the most graphic heavy application the machine will run, the rest will be 2d graphics, except I would like to make it my Multimedia platform. I'll use the motherboard sound SPDIF out to the Sound Blaster X-fi SPDIF in on the Window machine. (Assuming it's supported, I have a SB Audigy that I can use instead)
What Nvidia card to get, do I have to get a seperate Radio/TV card?
Re: What Nvidia card to choose for a Multimedia platform?
First get a separate TV card as tvin functionality which is offered by some card isn't supported on Linux. Next to that you can basicly get any card there's on the market. I would get a card from the Geforce6 or Geforce7 series it doesn't matter that much from which series you will buy one as the GPUs are more less the same. The main difference between all the different Geforce6/7 cards is in the clocks of the GPU/memory and the number of pixel/vertex units. The higher the clocks / the more 'units' the faster the card.
A simple card would be a Geforce 7300GS which costs I guess about 70 euro / USD. It is good in 2d and can also be used for playing games although not at the highest resolutions or with tons of eyecandy. If you want something better take a Geforce 7600GS or GT which are about 100 euro / USD more expensive. The GS is most of the time silent and is slower than the GT model. If you want even more performance you can get a Geforce7900. For info on performance search for a review on the web.
If you don't need much 3d performance just go for a 7300GS.
Re: What Nvidia card to choose for a Multimedia platform?
Combing an Asus Nvidia 7300 GS and a Hauppauge WinTV PVR-150MCE (Well supported my Linux according to my research).
Re: What Nvidia card to choose for a Multimedia platform?
Make sure when you buy a new TV that it has a computer-style input as well.
That works so much nicer than the TV-OUT type of connection...
When I selected my card, I found that many cards still offer one DVI, one VGA and a TV-OUT. Make sure that you can use TV-OUT while still using the DVI connector for your panel. Cards with two DVI connectors are starting to become more generally available, and of course have more flexibility. I found one, but this (together with needing AGP bus) limited my freedom when selecting. I now have a 6600GT card which works OK but is overkill for my normal use.

28 year old man | Bloomington, MN, USA | Seeking women 21-30 within 40 miles
Life is poetry you can't read twice.
I guess I'm looking for a kind hearted lady who's easy to talk to and has a good sense of humor. I believe I'm basically that, except in man form! I'm a pretty nerdy, down to earth, realistic, and sarcastic guy. I've been told I have a special kind of awkward. I'm not sure how to take that, but either way it's true. It takes me a while to really feel comfortable with someone and be my normal goofy self, which makes dating rather hard, so patients with me is needed. I like almost any outdoor activity, but also enjoy spending an occasional night just laying around finding a good movie or tv show to watch. Some TV shows I like are Arrested Development, Archer, Bob's Burgers, and Futurama. As for movies I mostly watch comedies I guess, I'm particularly fond of dark comedies, but also enjoy adventure, fantasy, thrillers, and sci-fi. I also have a soft spot for almost every samurai movie ever made! I have very diverse music tastes, but some bands I couldn't live without are, Modest Mouse, Dr. Dog, Devotchka, and Wilco. I'm a sucker for the violin and cello. I love to cook! I don't have anything particular that I like to cook, I just like cooking anything. I worked for 10 years in the restaurant business during high school and my undergrad as a cook, but cooking for myself or friends and family is much better. I really enjoy coming home from work, putting on a good album, cracking a tasty craft beer, and giving a new recipe a try. I like learning about different cultures and people, and also traveling, but haven't really started my adventures yet. I love a good book suggestion so if you have one let me know!

Wish I knew some!!! I'm new here.
I love my sweetheart of a daughter, and the rest of my wonderfully crazy family.
I like spending time outside doing whatever, whenever I can. I really enjoy going to see music, whether it's a gigantic concert or a tiny one with just me in the audience. I also like to get out and play a lot of disc golf.

Let the bar fights begin: Mario Vargas Llosa? You gotta be kidding me.
Of all the categories in which Nobel Prizes are awarded, none gets the blood going quite like the literary one. It's a little tricky to have an opinion about the physics or chemistry or economics or prize unless you're a specialist in those fields. Even the peace prize requires an inordinate amount of knowledge about world affairs in order to comment upon the decision without sounding like an idiot.
This morning's announcement that Peruvian writer Mario Vargas Llosa has won the 2010 prize provoked ire in me. He's a perfectly plausible Nobel laureate. But how about Joyce Carol Oates? Or William Trevor, the Irish short story writer and novelist? Or Arturo Perez-Reverte, the great Spanish novelist?
Members of the Nobel selection committee: Put up your dukes. Let's settle this outside, shall we?

From Our Editors
After a member of the Eyecandy staff guides you to a chair and consults with you about the best look to aim for, they'll whip frayed, stress-knotted head threads into shape with a full trifecta of salon services: a cut ($40+) and a color ($75+) in the idiom of your choosing, followed by a deep conditioning treatment ($25+) to defrazzle your frizz. With help from top-shelf product lines such as Aveda and Bumble and bumble, your hair will emerge sleek, shining, and free of trapped baby pterodactyls. A freshly styled head often translates into a youthful strut and a plethora of compliments from friends, strangers, and the insides of hats.

Textile Arts from Ancient to Modern Times
- Dates: April 6, 1939 through April 30, 1939
... more
April 4, 1939: On Thursday, April 6th, the Library of the Brooklyn Museum will open an exhibition of the Textile Arts from Ancient to Modern Times to run through April 30th. This exhibition is composed of plate and book material from the Brooklyn Museum Library illustrating pattern, design and technique in textile weaving with special emphasis on the influence of Oriental motifs and treatment in Western fabrics.
This exhibition includes photographs of Ancient Egyptian scenes of weaving drawn from paintings in the Tomb of Beni Hasan; photographs from Falke's "Decorative Silks" of garments and woven stuffs worn by the Greeks; facsimile reproductions of silks from Byzantium, Persia, Sicily, Lucca, Venice and Lyons, and of Coptic and French Gothic tapestries; and periodical illustrations of present day fabrics. Also included in this exhibition is a display devoted to the methods of printing---hand block printing and the process of copper engraving on cotton as discovered in 1760 by Oberkampf at Jouy. Another display illustrates the technique of the three basic weaves of all textile fabrics.
This exhibition is designed to call attention to the collections of the Brooklyn Museum Library and to the facilities for research and study there. Some designers and schools are already using the very comprehensive resources of the General Art Reference Library, and there has been a marked increase in the number of special students working in the Charles Edwin Wilbour Memorial Library of Egyptology. The Library collections are also heavily used by the educational staff of the Museum. There has, however, been no previous opportunity to call the attention of the general public to the very rich resources of the Library in plates and other illustrative material. This exhibition is the second of a series of Library exhibitions planned to demonstrate those resources.

Port of Corpus Christi finds partner in Cuba
The steadily strengthening ties between the Port and Castro's island would once have been unthinkable; now, both benefit.
An ancient maxim holds that there is no constant but change. It's still relevant - with a vengeance - at this late date.
Consider: A decade or two ago, the notion that the Port of Corpus Christi and Fidel Castro's Marxist Cuba would be looking at the prospect of a dramatic surge in two-way trade would have struck the casual observer as distinctly off the beaten path, if not downright bizarre. Castro and his Marxist cohorts making common cause with the solid capitalists of the Coastal Bend? Preposterous.
But that was then; this is now. Suddenly, the all but unthinkable seems not only thinkable but is very close to becoming a reality.
As the Caller-Times' Fanny S. Chirinos reported this week, shipments of foodstuffs from Corpus Christi to Cuba are rising dramatically. By the end of 2006, exports of Great Northern beans and hard red winter wheat from here to Cuba will have doubled - at least.
In part, this reflects a little-known piece of U.S. legislation, the Trade Sanctions Reform and Export Enhancement Act of 2000. It cleared the way for an easing of U.S. economic sanctions against Cuba. That in turn led to the signing of a Memorandum of Understanding between the Port of Corpus Christi and Cuba - the first of its kind - making possible the bean and wheat shipments from here to there.
More of the same may be in the offing. Alimport, the Cuban food agency, has signaled to port officials an interest in securing cotton and rice from Texas. And, said Port trade development representative Tom Moore, "We're connecting them to Texas growers and also with producers of strawberries, onions and grapefruit."
Even now, some Americans will feel reservations - not necessarily frivolous ones - about dealing with Castro's corrupt and often brutal regime.
But Fidel Castro's era is nearing its end, and it is realistic to hope - and believe - that a more open, humane dispensation may follow. And when that happens, mutually profitable two-way trade between the United States and Cuba will work to reconstruct a relationship between the two nations that is just, productive and mutually supportive.

Need to know: CV cliches Why you can`t find a jobHF interviews
Australian Infrastructure Fund sold its 50% stake in Port of Portland to Palisade Ports for 66.5 million Australian dollars (US$65 million) Thursday, which has encouraged the market to look ahead to its next move.
J.P.Morgan analyst Carolyn Holmes — who said Thursday's transaction was slightly higher than her estimated valuation of A$64.8 million — has turned her attention to AIX's 40% stake in Hochtief Airport Capital, or HTAC.
"We are still hoping that AIX will ride on the coat-tail of Hochtief, if and when Hochtief sells it airport concessionaires," Ms. Holmes said in a note.

Mercury expected to rise above freezing mark today in Evansville, rain likely later this week
EVANSVILLE - The freeze should officially be off later today, according to the National Weather Service's forecast for Evansville.
The expected high temperature for today is expected to just break the freezing mark — getting up to 33 degrees — in Evansville, part of a warm-up that is expected to continue through the weekend. As of 11 a.m., it was 30 degrees at the Evansville Regional Airport.
However, the "warmer" weather doesn't guarantee the end of snow chances for the area this week. According to the forecast, there's a chance of snow in the forecast that could mix with rain as well late Thursday morning or during the early afternoon hours.
An advisory from the weather service warns that the expected wintry mix could cause some slick sports, though little to no accumulation is expected. Any precipitation should changeover to all rain later that afternoon. Thursday's predicted high is 37 degrees.
On Friday morning, there's a slight chance of lingering rain shower in the forecast. However, the main precipitation chance in Evansville's 7-day forecast comes Friday night and early Saturday morning. During that time period there is a 100 percent chance for rain. The main chance for rain on Saturday should move out of the area around sunrise, according to Chris Knowles, a meteorologist with the National Weather Service
Friday's high temperature is expected to reach the mid-40s while Saturday and Sunday's daily highs are expected to fall just short of the 50-degree mark.
