I lived at Central Park Place from 2005 to 2007. We only did a second lease when plans to buy a house fell through. When we first signed we were told how quiet the place was and how great maintenance is...well we were located right next to the highway and would regularly wake up to the lights of the speed trap outside. It was so loud that we never spent time outside of our apartment. It also took them 1.5 YEARS to fix our toilet. It constantly would clog for no reason and the kicker was when I was told that they come every time we called, even though I had just been told by a maintenance guy that he couldn't come twice in a weekend without approval. I threatened to leave and they FINALLY called a plumber to find that there was indeed a problem that could not be fixed by snaking the toilet all the time, it actually made it worse.
They are great at fixing with band-aids! The floor of our shower was cracked when we moved in and it was fixed, well it cracked again and got another band-aid. One month later I was going through our closet to find mold all over the floor and wall, thank god nothing was on the floor! Their solution was to use some scrap drywall and replace the carpet just in the closet that didn't even match the rest of it...since the carpet was well stained and dingy from the last tenants.
The location of the place is great, but people would regularly use your carport that was placed ridiculously far away from you apartment over plowed ice. The manager who was there when we moved in could care less about any of your complaints. The only nice thing is that the neighbors were relatively quiet in my building. Of course, I did have my car keyed 3 weeks after buying it. I would never live there again. We paid $670 for our place and they were upping our rent $50 a month due to some "improvements" to the property, I have no idea what they were referring to. Oh and you have to pay for sewer, trash, and water...and the water bill is split up among the apartments in your building. Meaning that I could have the same bill as a family of 4 when it was just the two of us. It was a rip off.
So if you want to throw away a lot of money for nothing, then this is the perfect fit for you!
Not to mention how many times the power went out last summer. The surprising thing was we got our deposit back when we figured they'd just keep it for whatever reason they could come up with.

1933 Goudey Babe Ruth #181 SGC 70 EX+ 5.5. Babe Ruth's status in baseball was well conveyed with his four appearances in the 1933 Goudey edition. Gehrig managed two appearances but both cards utilize the same illustration. Card #181 pictures the Babe holding his trusty lumber, gazing upward from within a highly detailed portrait. This could easily be a brief, quiet moment for Ruth, sitting on clubhouse steps, watching the current Yankee batter, torn between placing the ball into the left, center or right field stands. Graded SGC 70 EX+ 5.5 the card exhibits clean, white borders which surround a striking image placed slightly low of center with perfect print registration. There is light wear to corner tips. For the grade, this is an eye-catching copy of one of the hobby's more desirable Ruth collectibles. Even the traditional reverse print ghosting is minimal.

Top 10 Blizzard Games
August 19, 2009 - While Blizzard Entertainment hasn't made many titles, the few games that the company has done have(for the most part) been genre-defining titles as well as instant classics. With a demanding eye for quality, Blizzard has avoided many of the pitfalls with its properties that other companies continually fall into. Let's face it--Warcraft Adventures and StarCraft: Ghost would probably have been mistakes on Blizzard's near perfect track record if they'd been released.
IGN Presents the History of Warcraft
August 18, 2009 - Very few have ever been able to match what Blizzard Entertainment has done. In less than 15 years, they went from a small independent developer to partners in one of the largest publishing houses in the world. What's more, they did it not by doling out a hot first-person shooter to compete with Quake or releasing a fighter to take a bite out of Mortal Kombat. Instead, they took niche genres and brought them to the mainstream in ways no one would have ever thought possible. We might all be anxiously awaiting the latest news on Diablo III and Starcraft II, but we'd like to take this opportunity to look back at the greatest Blizzard franchise of them all, Warcraft. From its humble beginnings as one of the first games as its kind, to the biggest online game in the world, Warcraft has stayed one step ahead. With BlizzCon just around the corner, we take a look back at the series that catapulted Blizzard to international fame.

Top 10 PC Games That Should Go Console
October 22, 2008 - There has certainly been little shortage of PC titles making to move over to consoles over the few generations, This current generation of machines has hosted a few formerly PC-only games, such as Civilaztion Revolutions, and previous rounds of consoles have taken hold of PC hits, such as Doom and Quake. However, there are still a vast number of games that remain wholly exclusive to PCs with nary the announcement of making the jump.
Blizzard Entertainment's Frank Pearce: AU Interview
August 3, 2008 - The push to bring eSports into the mainstream has been a long one, yet despite the fervour that one might see from the fans at tournaments like the World Cyber Games or Blizzard's WorldWide Invitational, competitive gaming – in most parts of the world, is still quite niche. Why is that? You'd think that with the sheer size of the industry, the audience and the skill base would be there. Maybe it's finding the right formula to make guys sitting in front of computers engaging. Maybe it's because gaming is inherently an interactive pursuit, so the switch from player to spectator is more significant than one might think. We're not sure, but there's one place that's consistently held up as an example of competitive gaming as mainstream entertainment, and that's South Korea. And who better to talk to about pro gaming in South Korea and how it's developing in the West, than Blizzard Entertainment, makers of South Korea's national sport, StarCraft. We spoke to the legendary Frank Pearce, cofounder and executive vice president of product development at Blizzard Entertainment to get his take on eSports around the world.

GDC 2008: Rob's Rules of Engagement
February 20, 2008 - One of the more interesting sessions at GDC this year was delivered by Blizzard Entertainment's senior vice president of game design Rob Pardo. Since Blizzard has such a stellar reputation when it comes to multiplayer game design, we were anxious to hear Rob's ideas about creating and balancing multiplayer content. The session opened our eyes to some of the philosophies the guided the creation of Blizzard's existing multiplayer games and their upcoming Starcraft 2. Rob's first revelation was that Blizzard always designs the multiplayer portion of the game first because it's easier to create a good single player game out a balanced multiplayer game rather than the other way around. That's been the case with all the games that the company has designed and continues through their development of Starcraft 2. In fact, of Warcraft 3's entire 4-year development cycle, only the last nine months were spent crafting the single player game.

If blood sugar levels are often above a target range for a long period
of time, a person is at risk for developing
diabetes complications. Children with diabetes seem to
be protected from having complications until they become adolescents; then
their risk increases.
Whether complications develop also may be affected by:
Keeping blood sugar at a target range lowers the risk of developing
complications. Children with type 2 diabetes have the same goals recommended
for adults.
People with diabetes are at risk for blood vessel and nerve damage.
They can develop one or several complications.
High blood sugar causes changes in hormones and cells that can
damage blood vessels or nerves, or both. Damaged blood vessels are more likely
to build up
plaque, increasing the risk of
coronary artery disease,
heart attack, and
stroke. When large blood vessels are affected,
complications are called macrovascular disease. Damage to small blood vessels
can lead to loss of vision, kidney disease, and nerve problems throughout the
body. When small blood vessels are affected, the condition is called
microvascular disease.
Nerve damage (diabetic neuropathy) can decrease or
completely block the movement of nerve impulses or messages through organs,
legs, arms, and other parts of the body. Nerve damage can affect your internal
organs and your ability to feel pain when you are injured.

Mar 11, 2013
I've stayed in this hotel 3 times in the last 45 days spending over 2000 dollars. Over those 3 times the following happened: Valet could not locate my car because they handwriting of the person receiving the car was unintelligible. The drain in the bathroom overflowed, filling half my room with waste water and stinking up the whole place. The 24 hour meals menu (twice) was outdated and the items listed on it where not available. Breakfast choices
were not up to standard for a 250 U$D/night hotel (that's what I paid). Meals tasted like they were frozen and reheated and they were comprised mostly of butter for flavor and certainly NOT healthy. Whoever took my reservation on the last stay, used a credit card from somebody else (have no idea who's credit card that was) and since that transaction was denied, I lost my room and when I got to the hotel I was lucky to get a room at all and had to settle for a much lower quality room at the same price. The hot water in the shower was too hot and there was NO FLOW of cold water to mix with the hot water, so I scalded myself and could not take a shower. Although I couldn't see them, I got stung by what appeared to be bedbugs in several places in my body while sleeping and this itched a lot for a few days. the mattresses are WAY too hard and the feather pillows are way too soft, I could not sleep. the thermostat in the room is just for show, only the fan works, there is no heating or AC. I was woken up at 9am by someone coming into my room to check the minibar consumption EVEN THOUGH MY DO NOT DISTURB SIGN WAS HANGING FROM THE DOOR. One of the rooms I was staying in, started stinking of tobacco smoke around 23:00 and it intoxicated me until about 3 am. Suffice it to say I will NOT be coming back to your hotel, I will publish this review all over the net and I will not recommend you.
No Thanks

How Is Justice Roberts Like Professor Plum?
"The Washington Post" ran an article about Supreme Court insiders who have made a game of predicting who will write opinions for the remaining big cases and which way these cases will be decided. Lecturer in Law Thomas Goldstein is quoted:
"At the end of the term, while everyone's sitting around and waiting for the opinions, it's a pretty good parlor game," said Thomas C. Goldstein, a Supreme Court practitioner at the law firm Akin Gump, who started a discussion with the Roberts prediction at Scotus Blog, a Web site he founded.
"He's far from alone in foreseeing that outcome, and here's the group reasoning:"
"Of the cases that were heard during the court's oral argument session that Nov. 27 and ended Dec. 5, only three have not yet been announced. Two of them are the race cases, the other an equal-pay dispute. Every justice has written an opinion from that session except Roberts and Justice Samuel A. Alito Jr."

Improving Your Statistical Consulting Prowess by Adding R to Your SAS Repertoire
Date Added: Mar 2010
Format: PDF
SAS is a powerful package with tremendous capabilities. However, no package contains every model, calculation, or graphics option. With SAS 9.2, it is easier to tap into the R programming environment with the SAS/IML Workshop 3.2 application. Many cutting-edge models and statistical graphics are being developed in R. The paper will discuss strategies for using R to complement a SAS analysis. The paper will discuss examples where one has used R to solve problems that one could not have handled easily with SAS alone.

Belly Up to Morgan Riley at Moe Joe's in Clemson
Morgan Riley knows music lovers don't have any trouble finding female solo artists that dwell in pop and country music. After hooking up with Charlotte-based producer Chris Clay for her debut album, "Affinity," Riley realized she needed to seek out and front a stable group of musicians instead of just trying to sell Morgan Riley to the masses.

Thanks for the reference.
It evens out the emulsion layer by forcing it to flow downward just like a doctor blade does. A doctor blade is an actual metal bar that is a precise distance away from the moving emulsion layer and support and removes excess wet emulsion while it is still hot and mobile.
The air kinfe does the same thing, but has no contact with the emulsion layer itself. The air knife was not used by EK (AFAIK) but a lot of other companies did. Kodak used the doctor blade. There was quite a bit of difference of opinion regarding which method was best. IDK if it was ever settled, but both had advantages and disadvantages.
The excess emulsion either filled in uneven areas in the coating or it actually scraped the hot, wet emulsion back into the reservoir.

The Washington state Department of Health has been notified by Grant County that a mosquito sample taken June 16 near Moses Lake has tested positive for West Nile virus.
This is the first confirmed environmental sample of West Nile virus in a mosquito pool in Washington this year, officials said.
It comes at the end of an extended spring that, while staying cool, has produced an abundance of rain, said Harvey Crowder, administrator for Walla Walla County Public Health Department.
With the rain comes more standing water and with that comes more mosquito-breeding habitat, he said Tuesday.
The weather is bound to change into a true summer at any moment, thus supplying the insects with all the components needed for multiplying, he noted. "That increases the chances of disease.
The virus can be a serious, even fatal, illness and can affect people, horses, some birds and other animals.
The virus first appeared in the United States in New York City in 1999. Since that time, it has spread rapidly throughout the country.
In Washington, the first cases of people becoming ill from West Nile virus were reported in 2006.
The virus is almost always spread to people by the bite of an infected mosquito. Mosquitoes become infected after feeding on birds that carry the virus. There is no evidence that West Nile virus can be spread by direct contact with infected people or animals.
Most people who are infected with the disease will not get sick. One to five of those infected will have mild symptoms such as fever, headache and body aches. About one in 150 people infected will have more severe symptoms, which can include headache, high fever, neck stiffness, stupor, disorientation, tremors, convulsions, muscle weakness, paralysis, and coma.

The Standardisation of the NdebeleLanguage Through Dictionary-makingShould we think of the Ndebele language as the language spoken among the Zimbabwean Ndebele, or as a branch of Zulu?Should the Zulu language be seen as the measuring rod of Ndebele, or should the Ndebele language stand on its own?These were the issues confronting Ndebele lexicographers when they in 1997 started work on the first monolingual dictionary of Ndebele.The Ndebele lexicographers had a corpus of spoken and written Ndebele to base the dictionary on. Basing the dictionary entirely on the corpus would mean excluding Zulu.The possibility of abandoning Zulu posed two problems:• Firstly, Zulu is prestigious among the Ndebele people. Would abandoning Zulu lead to rejection of the dictionary?• Secondly, if Zulu is no longer setting the standard, then a new norm must be founded on the various regional varieties of Ndebele.Samukele Hadebe's research into the standardisation process of the Ndebele language was motivated by the production of the first monolingual Ndebele dictionary Isichazamazwi SesiNdebele (2001), of which he was chief editor.The thesis discusses the standardising role of the Ndebele dictionary in vocabulary,terminology and orthography. Editors had to decide on vocabulary selection,pronunciation, spelling and terminology, as well as how to deal with loanwords from different sources. In this book, Samukele Hadebe explores aspects of language planning, lexicography and corpus linguistics, and shows how these disciplines in different ways contributed to creating a path for the standardisation of the Ndebele language.

MSW Social Workers in the United States can expect to earn an average of $43K per year. The bottom of the pay range sits near $32K, and the top verges on $61K per year. Residence is the biggest factor affecting pay for this group, followed by years of experience and the particular employer. A large number report receiving medical coverage from their employers and more than half collect dental insurance. Women make up the vast majority of MSW Social Workers (88 percent) who answered the questionnaire. The majority of workers are highly satisfied with their job. This report is based on responses to the PayScale salary survey.

Social workers with a focus in MSW, or master of social welfare, are trained medical workers who use their knowledge and abilities not only to work with people, but also to help set policy and regulations for their community. The goal of the social worker MSW is to improve the lives of patients, starting with their first visit and all the way through to their full recovery. A social worker MSW requires a master's degree in social work. The social worker MSW will also need to possess knowledge about drugs, welfare, legal information pertaining to patients, and cultural traditions and differences.Read More...
The social worker MSW will spend time assessing patients and their families to best treat and understand an emotional or social problem. Using this knowledge, the social worker MSW then determine the best way to improve the conditions for his or her patient in order to minimize the damage and severity of the problem or to prevent it from occurring in the future. A big part of this involves facilitating education on issues and providing support groups and referrals so that people can get the help that they need, when they need it. Given the broad scope of issues that may come up, a social worker MSW needs to be able to gather information that is relevant to his or her case in an appropriate and reliable manner. Helping people with emotional and social problems is a long-term goal, and a major part of casework involves helping patients over the course of their recovery. This means maintaining documentation of the patient's condition while reevaluating him or her when it is appropriate. When necessary, a social worker MSW provides advocacy for patients and provides resource services for them so that they can get the help that they need.
Fresenius Medical Care Holdings, Inc. is infamous for dishing out the smallest paychecks in the area (the median in that office is $49K), but the company pay scale is greatly mixed, meaning that workers on the low end may earn only $36K while workers on the upper end may rake in $64K.
Survey respondents exploit a significant toolbox of skills in their work. Most notably, facility with Dialysis, Bereavement Counseling, and Hospice are correlated to pay that is significantly above average, leading to increases of 22 percent, 11 percent, and 10 percent, respectively. At the other end of the pay range are skills like Family Practice and Spanish Language. Those proficient in Case Management are, more often than not, also skilled in Patient Education and Geriatrics.
Median of all compensation (including tips, bonus, and overtime) by years of experience.
Experience and pay tend to be weakly linked for MSW Social Workers — those with more experience do not necessarily bring in higher earnings. Workers in their first five years can expect to earn $41K, but people who have been around for five to 10 years earn a noticeably bigger sum of $46K. MSW Social Workers who work for 10 to 20 years in their occupation tend to earn about $50K. Veterans who have surpassed the 20-year mark may make only slightly more than those who are navigating the mid-career stage; the more senior group reports median earnings of around $54K.
For those looking to make money, MSW Social Workers in Sacramento enjoy an exceptional pay rate, 30 percent above the national average. MSW Social Workers will also find cushy salaries in Los Angeles (+19 percent), Dallas (+15 percent), Seattle (+13 percent), and Houston (+11 percent). With compensation 14 percent below the national average, Chicago is not known for hefty paychecks and actually represents the lowest-paying market. Not at the bottom but still paying below the median are employers in Atlanta and Detroit (11 percent lower and 3 percent lower, respectively).

Revealing the Hidden Social Code
Code: BREV01
Price: $24.95
Quantity in Basket: None
©2005. By Marie Howley and Eileen Arnold. This book focuses on using the Social Stories™ method to teach social understanding to persons with autism spectrum disorder (ASD). The authors are trained in the development and implementation of this method, and they begin by introducing the reader to the reasons it was developed and how it benefits persons with ASD. They also explain the significance of following all of the steps to create a truly individualized and effective social story. The pre-writing stage includes the importance of identifying a topic and gathering information from various sources such as direct observation, interviews with persons involved, and discussions with the individual with ASD. The authors also discuss the mechanics of writing the social story, including sentences and structure. The book contains a section on writing an advanced social story, to help those who may be ready to write and implement stories about more complex issues, including abstract concepts. Considerations for presenting a social story include the ability level of the person with ASD, format selection, and monitoring the outcome to know whether or not the individual has had a change in behavior or social understanding. The book contains numerous examples, a problem-solving section, and an appendix of checklists. The book is recommended by Carol Gray, the creator of the Social Stories™ method. (Softcover; 160 pages.)

Buick LeSabre Problem Report
Buick LeSabre Wear In Outer Tie Rod Ends Can Cause Steering Problems
(14 reports)
The outer tie rod ends on the steering linkage may wear causing excessive free play in the steering and uneven tire wear. If the worn tie rod ends are replaced, the wheel alignment should be checked and adjusted as necessary.
This is common on all cars. Every car I've ever had eventually the Inner and Outer Tie Rods go to junk. It's a wearable part. The solve is to replace them with MOOG brand Tie Rods and Ball joints. Get another 100K out of those. If you get the cheap crap from Autozone or wherever, you will have to replace these again every 12,000 to 24,000 miles. Replaced my Duralast ones from Autozone 6 times before I bought MOOG (yes their twice the price, but also hefty and grease-able) Keep them greased on every oil change, and so far 75k later its the only thing I haven't had to replace again. If only they made batteries and alternators. - Visitor

The steering had not really been a problem, but during an inspection for coolant leaking, it was determined that the left front outer tie rod needed to be replaced. At the same time, the left front hub was replaced. Steering now seems to be a little tighter. [Oct.2012] - macdad

This is the dramatic moment Palestinians tried to extinguish a huge fire which ripped through a smuggling tunnel in the Gaza Strip today.
The blaze, which happened in the town of Rafah on the border with Egypt, is believed to have been started accidentally.

Combine the rice and barley in a strainer. Rinse under cold water and drain. Transfer to a saucepan and place over medium heat. Stir constantly until the grains are dry and have a nutty fragrance. Remove from the heat and allow the pan to cool slightly.
Stir in the water and salt. Bring to a very low simmer, cover, and cook over low heat for about 50 minutes, until the grains are tender and all of the water has been absorbed.
Stored in a covered container in the refrigerator, leftover Brown Rice and Barley will keep for up to 3 days.

Fall Conference 2014 – Philadelphia, PA October 4-5, 2014
The best event to be offered this Fall for the Permanent Cosmetics / Permanent Makeup / Cosmetic Tattoo / Micropigmentation Industry!
For the sixth time, the SPCP is holding Fall Conference in Philadelphia on Saturday, October 4th and Sunday October 5th at the Sonesta Hotel.
Prior to the event will be a Bloodborne Pathogens Class on Friday afternoon, given by Laurna Marika of Health Educators.
Next is a Full Day Workshop on Saturday with Karen Betts, CPCP. Karen will take you through her steps to become a hair-stroke brow maestro. In this hands-on workshop with attendees armed with their machines and practice pads, Karen promises to share all her latest beautiful brow techniques. She will cover every aspect of hair-stroke brows, from the moment the client enters your office, through to design, application, and finishing.
The day ends with our networking reception where old friends gather to welcome new ones!
Conference Day Two on Sunday kicks off with a presentation on eyeliner tattooing by Kate Ciampi, CPCP with an emphasis on grips, stretches, and safety tips to more easily achieve consistent results. We can even try some of these out ourselves! Next will be social media queen Nikol Johnson-Sanchez, who will enlighten you on the key ways to boost your business using Twitter, YouTube, Instagram and Facebook. If you are not actively engaged in marketing your business through social media you are missing out on valuable clients and opportunities.
We are going to have great fun with the Original Tattooed Bride Photographer, Mike Allebach, as he takes us through a start to finish photo shoot! Mike will certainly help our businesses since, as they say a picture's worth a thousand words and ours aren't always saying much…he will even teach us how to use our cell phone cameras.
Following Mike is a real treat! Val Glover-Hovan, CPCP and April Meese, CPCP team up to present: Camouflage Practical Matters and Case Studies. They will take you on a journey into the world of paramedical tattooing. Learn how to use your pigment palette to achieve amazing results and also discover what procedures to avoid. This is a cannot-miss presentation for those wishing to expand into the virtually untapped and rewarding field of scar camouflage.
The day culminates with the always popular Panel of Experts hosted by our very own Conference Emcee, Debra Guastella, CPCP! Get answers to your most pressing industry-related questions – this panel will consist of Fall Conference Presenters. During this panel time, the Certified Permanent Cosmetic Professional credentialing exam will be administered to those who have pre-registered for the CPCP exam prior to the Conference.
SPCP events are designed for continuing education for its members; therefore membership is a requirement. Please join here!
Attendance is strictly limited to 100 attendees and it is already filling. Register Today!]]>
We are excited to present today's featured speaker, Mary Ritcherson, who is exclusively presenting her skin needling techniques to us at Convention.
Mary has worked in the medical and beauty industry for over eighteen years as a state licensed Facial & Skin Care Specialist (esthetician), and is currently affiliated with area plastic surgeons and dermatologists, as well as medical spas. She was introduced to permanent cosmetics by a local plastic surgeon, and after training in 2004 she has perfected her permanent cosmetic techniques to the point where she is often booked up almost six months in advance.
Mary shares her industry passion and artistic ability as a frequently requested and highly respected international speaker and educator. Learn why Mary has been incredibly successful in these procedures – so successful that she is opening a practice devoted exclusively to needling techniques!
This is a profit center that many will want to investigate and add to their permanent cosmetic practice this year! Let's face it, more and more men and women are seeking rejuvenating procedures and the cost of injections is escalating.
By comparison, needling can save your client a lot of money. There are many applications beyond scar relaxation and reduction of the appearance of lines and wrinkles. Mary Ritcherson will present these applications and demonstrate her techniques via SPCP-style recorded procedure presentation.
Be sure to register for the SPCP Convention today!
Contact the SPCP office should you have any questions. www.spcp.org or 847.635.1330. We look forward to seeing you in Atlanta. Watch for more on our hot, hot, Hotlanta Convention plans!

Members can watch for the upcoming PC Buzz as SPCP Director Jeanine McTasney, CPCP writes about her experiences…"I listen to the stories my brave clients share and travel down their path as we walk together reflecting on their journey. I often wonder if there is something more I can do to educate myself or share with others." These are the sentiments shared by many Society of Permanent Cosmetic Professionals members. She goes on to share, "there are many sophisticated lab tests and new mammography updates often. We can be proactive ourselves within the privacy of our own homes. The bare bones basic is the breast self-exam."
Jeanine provides a link from Dr. John West who is a frequent guest on the Dr. Oz show. He has created a foundation called Be Aware. On the site there is a 9-minute video demonstration of the breast self-exam. All are urged to view it and conduct your own examination. Other resources are listed here that are only a sampling of what is available:
The Society of Permanent Cosmetic Professionals provides a referral program for those requesting areola tattoo services. Visit www.spcp.org and search for technicians or go directly to

SPCP ~ your lifeline to the permanent cosmetics industry!]]>
What Group is the CDC Targeting for HCV Testing?
If you are a Baby Boomer, then it's you! The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), is recommending everyone born in 1945 through 1965 be tested for Hepatitis C. This group represents over 75% of adult Americans with Hepatitis C Virus (HCV).
Your Bloodborne Pathogens education has taught you that HCV is the leading cause of liver transplants and liver cancer. The shocking part of this is that three out of four people with HCV don't know they are infected. While prior guidelines recommend testing for at-risk people (that really does include us, folks) most people (including us) do not perceive themselves to be at risk, so are not tested.
Actually, all technicians need to be aware of the latest information, because even if you do not fall into the Baby Boomer age range, you most definitely work on clients that do. Be proactive and informed and read what the CDC has to say about this:
In view of our industry risk factors and this latest CDC recommendation, there is no reason for us not to be tested]]>
Registration will be available through the SPCP website and mailed programs shortly. We expect a great turnout for this event as this is always a popular destination. Our attendees always have enjoyed our Fall Conference and the event's intimate atmosphere. They are by far the best networking opportunities available to the industry. Fall Conference will kick off with the Train the Trainer class given by Jeanine McTasney, CPCP on Thursday and Friday, the 19th and 20th.
Saturday and Sunday's speaker line-up (September 22-23) is incredible and includes many of our well known industry veterans. Kari Boatner, CPCP, will kick start the event with her lecture, "Lip liner & Lip Shading: Techniques and Tricks of Our Trade." Val Glover-Hovan, CPCP, will share when and when not to let the client decide if they really do know best when it comes to shaping their eyebrows, in her lecture, "Did I really put my name on those eyebrows?" Presenting the topic, "Corrective Permanent Cosmetics, Understanding your Limits," Valerie Weber, CPCP, will help you identify the corrective work that is in your skill level, and tips on corrective work, as well as preparing the client for the corrective process. Debra Guastella, CPCP, will share with you how to market your business to the medical community outside of plastic surgery, in her lecture, "A Synergetic Relationship: Permanent Makeup and the Medical Arena."
In his lecture, "Eyeliner Procedure: Lash Enhancement or Dramatic Wings," Johnny McCarty, CPCP, will help you enhance your technique as well as build your speed in completing a procedure. April Meese, CPCP, will explore the top components that can affect the results of a permanent cosmetic procedure in her presentation, "Understanding Our Canvas." Last but not least, Marilyn Jones, CPCP will present "Aging Clients, Aging Technicians: Research, Reality, Remedies," where Marilyn will provide us with some tips and techniques to help and to keep our aging minds fresh and active.
As with all fall conferences, our bloodborne pathogens/infection control class by David Vidra, LPN will be included in the cost of attendance and is part of the conference.
We are space limited to 100 attendees and we are very likely going to fill this event. Pre-registration is required so register early so as not to be disappointed – thanks to the generosity of those who participated in the SPCP Auction, the attendance fee will remain the same as last year's rate!

Learn about Windows PowerShell
Summary: Microsoft Scripting Guy, Ed Wilson, begins a revision of his Windows PowerShell ISE Module by adding five new functions.
Microsoft Scripting Guy, Ed Wilson, is here. I decided to block off the weekend to work on my Windows PowerShell ISE module. There are several things that I want to add to it because the "annoyance" factor has finally caught up with me. In fact my criteria, when a repetitive task gets to the point that it annoys me, I will write a bit of code and solve the annoying problem. I have a list of five functions that I want to write and add to my Windows PowerShell ISE module. Here are the functions I want to add:
So after I make a pot of Gunpowder Green Tea with jasmine, lemon grass, and a half spoonful of spearmint, I head back to my office, and my laptop is busy blaring Willie Nelson. I look over at the Scripting Wife and say, "I thought I was playing Mott the Hoople when I left. What happened?"
The Scripting Wife said, "You shouldn't have left your computer unattended." I guess she has a point, after all. Today I am going to talk about the first two functions: Add-RemarkedText and Remove-MarkedText. Tomorrow I will talk about the other three functions.
When I have a block of code that I want to comment (or remark) out, I generally use the Windows PowerShell 2.0 block quote feature of the <# to open the comment and #> to close the comment. This technique is shown here.
"this is my code"
"that I want to comment (remark) out"
"for now"
The problem with this is that one way I troubleshoot my scripts is by commenting out sections of my code. In the Windows PowerShell ISE, I would like to be able to use the mouse (or keyboard shortcuts) to select a block of code and then to comment it out. Using the <# and #> seems to be a bit cumbersome for me.
Note If I am going to make major changes to a script, I use my Copy-ScriptToNewTab function, which is already in my Windows PowerShell ISE module.
My solution for this dilemma is my new Add-RemarkedText function. To use it, I simply select a portion of the code in the current tab in the Windows PowerShell ISE, and in the command pane, I type Add-RemarkedText. This is shown in the image that follows.
When the Add-RemarkedText function runs, the selected code is now commented (remarked) out, and it will not execute when the script runs. The commented section is shown in the image that follows.
Here is the complete Add-RemarkedText function.
ADD-RemarkedText function
Function Add-RemarkedText
This function will add a remark # character to beginning of line
This function will add a remark character # to selected text in the ISE.
These are comment characters, and is great when you want to comment out
a section of PowerShell code.
adds the comment / remark character to beginning of each selected line
NAME: Add-RemarkedText
AUTHOR: ed wilson, msft
KEYWORDS: Windows PowerShell ISE, Scripting Techniques
HSG: wes-5-18-13
#Requires -Version 2.0
$text = $psISE.CurrentFile.editor.selectedText
foreach ($l in $text -split [environment]::newline)
$newText += "{0}{1}" -f ("#" + $l),[environment]::newline
} #End function add-remarkedtext
After I have remarked out a portion of code, and I have completed my troubleshooting/testing scenario, it is time to remove the comments. In the past, this meant using the down arrow and the delete key, and hoping the mind numbing repetition did not lull me to sleep and cause me to delete a critical portion of the script.
With my Remove-RemarkedText function, this is no longer a problem. First I highlight (select) the commented out portion of the script, and then in the execution pane of the Windows PowerShell ISE, I type Remove-RemarkedText (rr is an alias). This technique is shown in the following image.
When I press ENTER, the comment character (remarked out code) is removed as shown here:
Keep in mind that the code is still selected, and you should click away to remove the selection to protect yourself from accidently deleting the section of your script.
Here is the complete text of the Remove-RemarkedText function.
Function Remove-RemarkedText
This function will remove a remark # character to beginning of line
This function will remove a remark character # to selected text in the ISE.
These are comment characters, and is great when you want to clean up a
previously commentted out section of PowerShell code.
Removes the comment / remark character to beginning of each selected line
KEYWORDS: Windows PowerShell ISE, Scripting Techniques
$newText += "{0}{1}" -f ($l -replace '#',''),[environment]::newline
} #End function remove-remarkedtext
Join me tomorrow when I will complete my discussion of the other three new ISE functions for my Windows PowerShell ISE module. Tomorrow I will also share the link to the Windows PowerShell ISE module project in the Scripting Guys Script Repository.
I invite you to follow me on Twitter and Facebook. If you have any questions, send email to me at email@example.com, or post your questions on the Official Scripting Guys Forum. See you tomorrow. Until then, peace.
Ed Wilson, Microsoft Scripting Guy
It would be much nicer if basic functionality such as comment/uncomment selected text was simply made into a button in the ISE toolbar... or made a menu option with a keyboard shortcut. Most third party PowerShell ISEs offer what I consider basic functionality that even the PS 3.0 ISE lacks. I'm not talking about advanced stuff (like copy script to new tab) but just basics like comment/uncomment selected text, increase/decrease indentation, etc.
Also, a choice to choose spaces or tabs for indentation with the TAB key would be terrific. I prefer tabs. I realize the debate between spaces/tabs is near religious in its levels of fanaticism, so just giving us the choice would be excellent.
@Jon I think I will add the comment / uncomment and indent as menu option / keyboard shortcut. Good suggestion. The indent / unindent I will also add as a menu / keyboard shortcut. I will think about providing choice to indent by space or tab.

**Revised 1x because I am a crazy son of a bitch** Though not 100% sure how done I am with this. Ultimately, I just felt like making a little (slightly abstract) MBP - in icon form - thought the shape would fit nicely into an Apple Touch format.
Let me know if you like it. Again. No, seriously. Please keep me in the know. Even if I repost 34 times ;)
