Need to know: CV cliches Why you can`t find a jobHF interviews
Telstra looks a big winner from Foxtel's 1.93 billion Australian dollar (US$1.99 billion) acquisition of Austar getting the go ahead from Australia's competition regulator.
Its 50% stake in Foxtel means it has more exposure than any of its listed rivals to Australia's pay TV market. Even better, the deal comes just as Telstra gives up its near monopoly over Australia's wholesale telecoms infrastructure to pave the way for a new national high-speed broadband network.
So why do some market participants think Telstra should get out of Foxtel altogether?
Sure, Australia's competition watchdog's move to delay its decision on whether to give the green light to pay-TV Foxtel for its 1.9 billion Australian dollar (US$2.0 billion) takeover of pay-TV player Austar United Communications could look like a blow for investors.
But to Moelis & Co., it looks like an opportunity. Moelis & Co. hedge fund advisory executive director Derek Francis — who believes the deal will be approved — told Deal Journal Australia the current Austar price of A$1.45 a share means investors are pricing in a 91% probability of the deal being completed, based on Foxtel's bid price of A$1.52 a share. This is down from a 96% probability of completion that the market was pricing in as recently as Friday when the stock was trading at A$1.49 a share.
For Australian pay television company Foxtel it's a case of two steps forward and one step back in its quest to buy Austar United Communications for 1.9 billion Australian dollars (US$2.0 billion).
The antitrust regulator Australian Competition and Consumer Commission, or ACCC, said Wednesday that Foxtel has presented it with an undertaking to address competition concerns related to the deal but the concessions come at a price.
There are now strings attached to the deal.

What do we think? I am starting to get a little concerned. I thought it might be nice to see if other mommies are having this issue. She is getting around, she is waving, using inflection for words like bye and hi, and she is in general pretty clever and engaged. She is not crawling or even standing on her feet. Even when we hold her up to standing she tries to sit down.
11mos tomorrow, and still not crawling or standing??

I would not be concerned yet. She sounds normal to me!

We give her lots of opportunity for floor play. So that is NOT the issue, however, we do not ever put her in her jumperoo. I can think of maybe three times in her babyhood she has been in it. Do we think this type of baby gear would help or hinder her learning? What about a walker. I was thinking she might use and strenthen her legs......

Food was my Marchie's motivation to crawl too! My first was a late bloomer and my pediatrician had great advice. She said not to be concerned unless you hit a year and they aren't mobile in anyway at all. A month is a long time! I wouldn't worry.
Parenting is like gardening; you don't know how successful you are until the crops come in.

Well I am not stranger to the each baby is different and I think that if I saw this post I would tell the mom to cut out that worrying. On the other hand I have never had a baby so immobile! My first was text book, my second crawled at ten months, and walked at fourteen, and my third was close to text book. This time we are later than even my second on the crawling. She is not butt scooting or I wouldn't be worried.
Army crawling makes me feel better;)

Viewers: in countries Watching now:
This weekly course covers the most common questions videographers encounter when shooting and editing with DSLR cameras, from choosing a frame size and frame rate to understanding moiré. Authors Rich Harrington and Robbie Carman will also help you understand the impacts of compression and the difference between cropped (or micro 4/3rds) and full-sized sensors in cameras, and much more. This continual FAQ guide is a handy way to find the answers to the questions that plague you the most.
So Rich, we're back in the studio. >> Yup. >> We've used our GoPro to shoot some nice time lapse, and by the way, I think this is a great use of the GoPro. >> Yeah. >> You know, everybody always thinks action sports and stuff like that, but putting it on a little tripod or a little mount, and letting it just roll and shoot some time lapse, great use of it. >> Yeah, and we actually use it sometimes for behind-the-scenes shots to give a client. >> Mm-hm. >> Like hey, here was your whole shoot. In two minutes. Look we're fast. >> See we were actually moving around doing stuff. Right. >> Yeah we're hardworking. >> Yeah. >> But you can share that with clients. >> Yeah >> And let them sort of see that. And it's a great post for social media. >> Mm-hm.
>> So I gotta couple of shots that we did when we were out in the field, >> Yeah. >> As well as some of stuff from behind the scenes on the music video. >> Cool. We'll take a look. >> Alright well we're going to go ahead and put these together. The first is you get them on your computer.So you already know how to transfer files. >> Pretty easy. You either plug the card in, plug the camera in, transfer it to ideally a device that has some level of backup to it, like a little raid system or something like that because we'd hate for you to go out and take the perfect time-lapsed. And then all of a sudden the hard drive dies. But the point is, copy it somewhere that's nice and secure. >> And I recommend you put one scene into each folder.
>> Yeah. >> Now typically, you might remember we're out in the field, we'll do something like hold a hand in front of the lens to indicate a scene change. Things like that, so it's really easy to spot. It's so much easier when you assemble the time lapse shots if they are already split up. >> Yep. >> Alright, so I'm in Adobe Bridge. >> Yep. >> Piece of cake for browsing footage. We'll just go to the computer here, and I'm just going to go in. And we have some time lapse shots. >> Yep. >> Let's just find that. GoPro Timelapse. Here we go. >> So go to your timelapse folder. We have that. Our baseball field where we shot some stuff the other day. We got some other ones. Let's start with the baseball field stuff.
>> Alright, so we'll open that up. >> Hey. Hey. Hey. >> Hey look it's you. >> Yo guy, that's an awesome angle of me. >> I didn't know that was there, but, and that's me. >> Oh yeah. >> Rob, is it just me or does every Go Pro, is this the first shot in every Go Pro? Is this thing on? >> Alright, so we have all these other shots, and there's a couple things I want to point out. One is is that you might notice a couple of things wrong with them. >> Yep. >> What I would first off say is you want to check for any bad frames. So an easy way to do that is you just sort of go through and look and if you see any that you don't want like.
Maybe a bird landed in front of the lens or somebody walked in front. >> Totally. I look at this process in Bridge as a pruning operation, right? And actually one of the things I like to do is, you know, you're looking at these pretty big thumbnails. You can actually increase these thumbnails size to almost to their like, you know, their, their bigger size. >> Yeah. >> So you get a much better idea what's going on. And then just go through them real nice and quick using the down or up, or left right arrow keys on your keyboard. >> Yeah. >> Or even the scroll wheel on your mouse. And get through them real quick, just to spot any problematic issues. >> And you can actually click on the thumbnail here if you want to see something at 100%.
>> Get a little loop view, right. >> Yeah, yeah. So, let's just assume in this case, all the shots were good. >> because we're a perfect Absolutely. But if you did need to get rid of something you could throw it away. The important thing is when the time lapse is quote done. >> Huh >> You see here it looks like we've been doing a little bit of reframing, but that's OK. >> Yup. >> You would want to basically do a batch reening. >> Okay. >> So you would select all of your shots ensure that you had the range in there that you wanted. And then you could say Tools > Batch Rename.
>> Now, why do I do this? Well the reason that I do this, you do this, is because, when you get of the camera, you know, footage maybe DSLR or Go Pro, usually it's not going to have human type of names. It's going to be 108-64 whatever.jpeg. >> And a lot of these cameras like Go Pro, are really bad after you've shot a thousand pictures. The number system just starts over again. >> Right, so what we do and I and this is a perfect use of using bridge and I think I bridge has one of the best batch renaming tools that I think you're going to find, and all you simply go in here and you go in and say hey, you know what, I'm going to move this stuff to this folder, I'm going to copy it to this folder, and then you set up rules basically so in your new file names there.
Our first thing is we're saying go pro baseball field and it's a text item. >> Yep. >> If you actually click in there what you'll notice is that besides text you can do things like add a date and time. >> Yeah. >> Other meta data. >> The current file name. >> Preserving the original file name or the current file name. That kind of stuff. So you can get real kind of complex and detailed. About how you set up this rename. >> And you can even tell it to make a copy to another folder, if you don't want to modify these. >> Right. >> But you nailed the most important one, embed the original file name in there. >> Right. >> So you click rename, and it goes pretty quick.
It's just flying through those files now, and it's renaming. Yeah, 1400 files to be renamed. Little bit time consuming. >> Yeah, but it won't take, it will just take a, a, few minutes, you know depending on the speed of your drives. But it's going through. >> Yeah >> You can actually see kind of see in the background. Still updating those files. We'll just take another minute or so. >> Yeah, you don't have to rename. I generally think it's a good idea. Now, the next thing that I would say, is that I would do a batch process, using something like Adobe Photoshop. And when we come back, we're going to actually correct for the wide angle distortion, and basically on GoPro, the GoPro.
>> Cool.

HSBC "lift" by Grey London
Agency: Grey London
Rating: 5.0
By John Reynolds, marketingmagazine.co.uk, Monday, 04 March 2013 11:44AM
Last week, Paddy Power launched a poster campaign entitled "second jobs for subs" across five outdoor sites around five Premier League football grounds.
Suggestions for "second jobs" included a toilet cleaner for Arsenal's misfiring player Andrei Arshavin and a burger flipper for Chelsea striker Fernando Torres.
The ads received a mixture of response from the football team. Arsenal treated it as nothing more than a bit of fun but Chelsea campaigned for the outdoor ad to be pulled down.
All the ads have now been removed and Paddy Power has run mock apology ads in The Sun and The Daily Star.
Apology ads have been used by a number of brands, including Findus and Burger King over the horsemeat scandal, as a direct way of communication with customers.

WASHINGTON, June 24 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- Speaker Nancy Pelosi held a brief a press availability this morning with Governors Mike Rounds of South Dakota, Jim Douglas of Vermont, and Chris Gregoire of Washington before their meeting in the Capitol to discuss health care reform. Below are their remarks:
Speaker Pelosi. It's really an honor indeed to welcome three very distinguished governors to The Speaker's Office - Governor Rounds of South Dakota, Governor Douglas of Vermont, and Governor Gregoire of Washington state.
We have worked together before on the stimulus and the recovery package at the beginning of this year. Over time, Governor Douglas and I have worked together on the State Children's Health Insurance Program, and today we're going to be talking about how we move forward on comprehensive, quality, affordable, accessible health care for all Americans.
Governors' views are very important to us as we go forward with the legislation, so I am very honored to welcome them to the office and look forward to hearing what they have to say as we move forward. Governor Douglas.
Governor Douglas. Well thank you, Madam Speaker, for this opportunity to chat about this issue that is of extreme importance to the American people.
Health care continues to be an increasing percentage of our gross domestic product. It's increasingly a high percentage of the state budgets in all the states, with which my colleagues and I are wrestling. And it's important that we establish some meaningful health care reform so that we can improve the health of our population, control cost, and have the best quality outcomes from the health care system for the American people.
I think the focus on cost containment is key because health care costs continue to rise at multiples of inflation. It's important that

Former White Sox hitting coach Jeff Manto has been hired by the Baltimore Orioles on Tuesday.
#Orioles name Jeff Manto minor league hitting coordinator. He replaces Mike Boulanger, who becomes a scout.— Rich Dubroff (@RichDubroffCSN) November 5, 2013
Manto, who was fired at the end of his second season as the White Sox hitting coach, takes over as Baltimore's minor-league hitting coordinator.
[MORE: Sox don't make qualifying offers to Konerko, Floyd]
The White Sox replaced Manto after the club slipped from fourth in the American League in runs in 2012 to 15 th last season. The club named former Oakland A's minor-league hitting coordinator Todd Steverson as Manto's replacement last week.
Manto played for the Orioles, hitting a career-high 17 home runs in 1995. Prior to being named the White Sox hitting coach, he was the franchise's minor-league hitting coordinator for four seasons.

Forty percent of goods on Saudi markets are counterfeit
At least 40 percent of all merchandise sold on the Saudi market is counterfeit, asserts a report recently issued by the Saudi ministry of commerce. Such products, which appear to be brand named but in fact bear fake trademarks, are generally substandard.
Saudi authorities maintained that trade in fake products harms both buyers and sellers. It is also damaging to the national economy, as such illegal market activity turns away potential investors, reported Jeddah Arab News.
In a bid to combat the retail crisis, ministry officials have launched an anti-counterfeit campaign, urging all Saudi citizens to report cases of faked goods being sold on the markets. The ministry of commerce has also set up a department, which will inspect trade points and confiscate goods in the case of fraud. — (MENA Report)

Central Europe's New Demagogues
Published: April 14, 2004
To the shock of many Slovaks, Vladimir Meciar, their discredited former prime minister, led the first round of balloting earlier this month for Slovakia's next president. He now faces Ivan Gasparovic -- his former top aide, who would be an even more disastrous choice -- in a runoff on Saturday. The return of Mr. Meciar, rejected six years ago by Slovakia for his thuggish behavior and incoherent economic policies, is unfortunately not an isolated event in Eastern and Central Europe.
Politicians espousing nationalism, ethnic bigotry, overly simplistic economic programs and a rejection of all things European are gaining ground around the region, most dangerously in Poland, Central Europe's most important nation.
People in Poland, Slovakia, Romania and, to a lesser extent, their neighboring countries are receptive to demagogic pitches because they feel betrayed by pro-Europe reformers. The collapse of Communism stripped people of their accustomed safety net, however threadbare it was. Now, as their governments shed inefficient state-owned companies and trim down the welfare state to meet budget and market-reform requirements to join the European Union, many citizens feel especially vulnerable.
Over time, the reform process will lead to sustainable prosperity. But some of the cuts are needlessly harsh on the poor, and the resulting resentment is exploited by politicians -- notably the Polish pig farmer Andrzej Lepper, who leads a rural protest movement called Self Defense that rivals the country's major mainstream party in popularity.
Mr. Lepper's recipe of nationalism and increased state control of the economy would be disastrous for Poland. But it's easy to understand why his diatribes against the European Union prove so effective. For a dozen years, joining the union was held out to Eastern Europeans as the ultimate reward for reforming their ways. It turns out that the reward will be doled out in installments.
Europe's shameful agricultural subsidies allow farmers in countries like France to make a profit while selling their crops on the international market at cut-rate prices. But the European Union does not intend to fully share this bonanza with the newcomers, whose farms are crushed by the cheap imports. Poles and citizens of the other nine new members are also not being immediately afforded the freedom to work anywhere within the union, a privilege that citizens of the 15 current member nations enjoy.
An anti-immigrant backlash in nations like France, Italy and Austria has emboldened plenty of demagogues in Western Europe. These politicians have generally toned down their vitriol when successful, and it is possible that the same would happen to Mr. Lepper or Mr. Meciar, who is already moderating his anti-Europe stance. The dangerous difference is that Central European nations still lack the strong institutions that can compel authoritarian-minded politicians to act like democrats. The rise of the protest politicians in Central Europe can do lasting damage in nations still finding their way.

HSBC "lift" by Grey London
Agency: Grey London
Rating: 5.0
By Sarah Shearman, brandrepublic.com, Thursday, 26 May 2011 10:55AM
Sandberg, giving the Polis lecture at the London School of Economics yesterday evening to an audience of 400, emphasised the value of Facebook for marketers, likening it to the theory behind the 'The Tipping Point' for the "connectors" it provides.
"More than ever before, brands are important to the identity. While 15 million Facebook users 'friend' each other per day, over 50 million users 'like' a brand page per day," she said.
When discussing whether being a public company would stifle innovation at Facebook she said that Facebook is currently "enjoying being a private company".
She also responded to the question of why Facebook had hired Burson-Marsteller, the PR firm, to put out smear stories on Google, rejecting the accusation it was a "smear campaign" but admitting the company regretted the activity.
"Our statement brings to light a serious issue about how consumers' data is being used and I think it is interesting that there has not been much follow up on this in the press," she added.
The main theme of her lecture focused on how the web is evolving from "infoweb" to "social web" and how Facebook's technology is bringing people closer together.
She talked about Facebook's "social by design" thinking at length, saying that all products and services have the potential to be "built from the ground up around real people".
Sandburg said social design has been effectively applied to commerce and gaming, but it will also transform the healthcare and finance sectors, by using the technology to predict flu epidemics or create micro-payment initiatives.
"This transition to social by design has endless opportunities. We can save lives and restructure industries with the same technology we use to poke each other," she said.
Note: After we published this story Facebook clarified that the number of users that like a brand page each day is over 50 million.

HSBC "lift" by Grey London
Agency: Grey London
Rating: 5.0
By James Swift, campaignlive.co.uk, Friday, 04 April 2014 10:00AM
WCRS created the spot, which debuts on TV today (4 April). It is the agency's first work for the brand since winning the account without a pitch in January and the brand has backed the campaign with a £10 million investment.
The ad targets the Easter DIY-crowd and features frumpy-looking people bursting out of their clothes and into dynamic work gear, as a voiceover challenges people to "unleash the B&Q in you". The soundtrack to the ad is Snap's 'I've Got The Power'.
The work was created by Jane Briers and Dave Cornmell. It was directed by Olly Williams through HSI and MEC handled the media planning and buying.
The minute-long TV spot will be supported by two 30-second spots that plug specific new B&Q products.
Ross Neil, a creative director at WCRS, said: "Nobody wants to been seen as someone with a moping, can't do attitude. Everyone wants to be seen as a can do person, someone with a little B&Q in them. Someone who can get on and do the job.
"With the help of Olly [the director] we've managed to bring this to life in an extraordinary way.
"All the ads are B&Q from the core featuring the famous orange apron, we just wanted to remind people how much they love B&Q in an entertaining manner."

nVidia repositories?
Are there any? Is there a place I can put on my source.list to download stable drivers?
Re: nVidia repositories?
Well if we assume you're running Ubuntu Intrepid (since you gave no details).
The 180.11 drivers are in the Intrepid Updates repo.
But without knowing the distro most of us will be pretty limited to a guess.
Re: nVidia repositories?
My laptop is a XPS M1730. Specs:
Processor 2.8GHz Intel Core 2 Extreme X7900
Memory 4GB of 667MHz
Hard drive 400GB (2x200) at 7,200rpm
Chipset Intel 965
Graphics Dual 256MB Nvidia GeForce 8700M GT in a scalable link interface
Re: nVidia repositories?
Honestly if you're running KDE4 I wouldn't worry about what's beta or not.
the 180.xx series is much better at handling KDE4 than previous drivers as long as you don't try and overclock.
But if you're looking for the latest "stable" 180.22, it's not in the repos yet and may not be for awhile.

Nearly half of consumers polled in the latest PriceGrabber survey said that retailers are serving up better back-to-school promotions this year, compared with 2011.
Nothing beats the experience of shopping in a store: touching and feeling the merchandise, enjoying the ambiance of the store with the Muzak playing in the background, engaging with the retailer's wonderful customer service representatives and then pulling up that product on Amazon.com and clicking "check out."
The National Retail Federation, in partnership with its member companies, has launched a new initiative to address the challenges and opportunities of mobile retailing.
Consumers are more comfortable sharing data with retailers than they are with social networks, especially if it enhances the shopping experience, according to a recent survey conducted by the E-tailing Group and MyBuys.
An Ahold USA executive has received honors from a New England business publication.
Days of cutting back-to-school spending are over, as nearly 9-in-10 consumers plan to spend the same or more, according to Deloitte's annual back-to-school survey.
Shoppers still are purchasing on impulse at the front end of the store. Data from SymphonyIRI Group indicated that more than half of consumers make unplanned purchases upon seeing products or deals in the store — a percentage that has remained unchanged during the past 18 months.
In 2006, Time magazine added a twist to its annual "Person of the Year" cover story, replacing the usual picture of some prominent individual with a picture of a glossy computer screen to show that social networking had made "you" the person of the year. Now, the idea that it's all about "you" has percolated into retail.
"It's actually an illusion that those boxers are separate entities. The separate entities are just the way we choose to perceive them. The boxers, you, me — we're all part of the same quantum field. Think of the two boxers as ocean waves or currents of air — two tornadoes, say. They appear to be two separate things, but they're not. Tornadoes are just wind. The wind stirred up in different directions. The fact is nothing is separate. Everything is connected. The shapes we see exist only in our own consciousness."
A survey released by Chase Slate with Blueprint revealed that more back-to-school shoppers are carefully managing their spending and borrowing by creating a budget and sticking to it.
Lil' Drug Store Products on Wednesday announced that it has renewed its supply relationship with Circle K, which has more than 3,300 convenience store locations across 42 states.
Once again, consumers are putting off back-to-school shopping until the last minute, but retailers can take solace in the fact that they intend to spend more this year, NPD reported.
Back-to-school shoppers plan on stretching their dollar and taking advantage of retailer incentives to save, PriceGrabber said.
A survey released by the National Retail Federation and conducted by BIGInsight found that the average parent will spend $688.62 on back-to-school items this year, compared with $603.63 last year. Total spending is expected to reach $30.3 billion.
Aisle411, a mobile retail navigation service, on Tuesday announced that its virtual mapping and navigation smartphone application is available to use in all of Walgreens' 7,907 drug stores nationwide.
It seems that traditional grocery stores and established food brands may lose their position in the market due to a confluence of changing demographics, economic factors and customer preferences, according to new research from global investment bank Jefferies and global business advisory firm AlixPartners.
Social media is an important component of ongoing brand marketing, as well as any advertising campaign for a drug store retailer or brand. Integrated communications have the most impact because earned, owned and paid media reinforce and amplify the message. All channels feed off each other; the more frequently a potential customer sees or hears about a brand or retailer, particularly in more than one context or venue, the more likely she is to remember and purchase.
It seems that shoppers worldwide expect a seamless integration across online, social media, mobile and physical stores, according to a new global report released by Capgemini.
Hy-Vee will close a store in central Iowa to prepare for the opening of a new store next door that the company called its "most innovative."
The jobs report might have been a punch to the gut, and the economy definitely still has not figured itself out, yet there appears to be some cause for optimism amid drug store shoppers, as consumers tell DSN they shopped longer and bought more than they anticipated during their most recent trip to the drug store.
Remember when retail transactions were completed based only on the assortment found within the confines of a brick-and-mortar store? Truth is, we may never return to those days.
As states grapple with tight budgets, rising Medicaid costs and the anticipated expansion of Medicaid following the Supreme Court's decision to uphold the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act, policymakers should consider how community pharmacists can help reduce expenses. In addition, new evidence offers a fresh reminder of the perils of managed care in Medicaid and the need for proper oversight of managed care entities.
Smartphones do — and will continue to — influence retail sales. The surveys that suggest this continue to mount, and a new Deloitte study serves as further evidence that retailers and manufacturers are wise not to rest on their laurels.
This year's National Association of Chain Drug Stores Marketplace Conference proved to be a productive four-day event as retailers and suppliers representing more than $500 billion in annual buying power convened in Denver to network, explore business opportunities and participate in educational programs.
Smartphones will continue to influence retail sales and will grow to represent 19% of total store sales by 2016, according to new Deloitte research.

Lefty Sketch
Recently busted my wrist and am now waitin for the doctor to call because i went to the wrong place for my appointment:mad: So I decided to scan this little sketch i did
last night that was done with my unbroken left hand (i am right handed). Very briefly i used my right hand by mistake because I can use it a little. Didnt even notice i had switched.
It's plans for something i want to do when my cast comes off. You can see some light attempts at the alphabet as well.
A friend and I thought this up a little while ago while drinkin Captain Morgan's. We figured we bought it over the other brands because of the great pirate picture on it.

As an entrepreneur I am constantly looking for new ways to make money. One of the best ways to learn different ways to make money online is to surround yourself with other people who are trying to do the same thing. Our PeerFly office is full of creative people, I get the opportunity to work with hundreds (sometimes thousands) of great affiliates every month, and my Skype is literally filled with people who want nothing more than to make their next dollar online right now. So, it should come as no surprise that I am always getting ideas for new ways to make my next dollar. Well, a few months ago my buddy Brian Johnson introduced me to my new favorite source of revenue, Teespring.
Brian and I are in a small Facebook Page mastermind group where we discuss Facebook Pages and ways to build and monetize them. When he first showed me Teespring I knew right away he had found a winner, but until I had launched my first shirt campaign I had not believed it would be as amazing as it is.What is Teespring?

Special Coverage
Ward's Auto Interiors Show
DETROIT – As the auto industry becomes more environmentally aware, in an effort to keep pace with the rest of world, several myths persist about bio-based materials.
"If you talk to consumers and tell them you're going to have a bio-based product, they think to themselves, 'My car is going to fall apart in the rain,'" says Susan Kozora, engineering manager-International Automotive Components.
Kozora tells attendees at the Ward's Auto Interiors Show here she hopes greater proliferation, along with improved marketing, will shatter the myth that plant-based products are inferior or not as sturdy or durable as those made from petroleum-based materials.
Bio-based products are not necessarily the same as biodegradable, she says, adding both bio-based and petroleum-based materials can biodegradable or not, depending on how the monomers are reacted and what they are reacted with.
When such materials do break down, greenhouse gases are given off, calling into question any green intention, Kozora says, adding recyclable materials should be a goal, with a long-term target of harnessing the gas emitted through the disintegration process as a source of energy.
Kozora, along with other panelists speaking about environmentally friendly interiors, admits the term "bio-based" can be confusing, and there is little oversight to determine the parameters.
"Everybody has their own definition of green," agrees John Lyons, business-development leader for DuPont Bio-Based Materials.
Lyons says DuPont considers "bio-based" to include those products made wholly or partially from renewable resources.
However, the degree of bio-based materials in a given product can be high or low and coupled with lack of oversight can be confusing for consumers to discern.
Lyons says DuPont's Renewably Sourced Materials program calls for a minimum of 20% renewable content by weight in a material. For instance, the company's Sorona polymer material, which mimics nylon and can be found in everything from carpeting to clothing, has 37% renewable content.
On the flipside, Kozora says she knows of carbon-black colorant for plastics with miniscule amounts of charred cow bone. "So I can say, "My product has bio-based content, and it has 1% cow bones."
For the near future, "with some content" will become a familiar phrase regarding products containing biomass, Kozora says. "I think 100% bio-based materials are about two to five years off."
However, Lyons says car buyers are "months away" from seeing a wider proliferation of bio-based products in their vehicles, telling Ward's floor mats using Sorona will appear in a vehicle later this year.
While he says he doesn't know what vehicle will use the mats, he believes bio-based automotive products will follow the usual trajectory of starting in premium models and working their way down into mid- and lower-priced vehicles.
Lyons also says a natural market for bio-based materials will be hybrid-electric, pure-electric and fuel-cell vehicles.

NFL Pick: San Francisco 49ers @ Philadelphia Eagles Preview
- Updated: September 29, 2011
The Philadelphia Eagles are in big trouble right now in the NFC East chase. They'll try to start to make amends this week when they take on the San Francisco 49ers in a crucial NFL betting battle.
The 49ers are playing halfway decent ball right now, which is more than what we grew to expect from this team. Sure, a schedule of the Cincinnati Bengals, Dallas Cowboys, and Seattle Seahawks probably doesn't tell us a whole heck of a lot, but what it does tell us is that this team has shown some grit and the general ability to win close games. Sure, the Niners were beaten after a bad showing against the Cowboys at home, and yes, that does bode poorly for this game against Philly, but we love the start to the season in general. What we don't love is the fact RB Frank Gore is questionable. RB Kendall Hunter has a great skill set that should be used to the fullest if Gore can't go, but there is a real problem if the former Miami Hurricane is going to be out of this one. There just won't be any between the tackles runners to go against a relatively weak front seven. Very quietly, San Francisco's defense ranks No. 7 in the game overall (306.3 YPG) and No. 4 in scoring (17.3 PPG).
The Eagles need to be super, super careful at this point. These next several games are against the Niners, at Buffalo, at Washington, home against Dallas, and home against Chicago, all games of which are losable. This is the "surest thing" in the bunch. QB Michael Vick has fought through a ton this year, including a concussion and a hand injury, but he says that he is good to go against San Fran. What isn't good is his offensive line, which has put him in some bad, bad spots. As a result, Vick has only thrown for 605 yards and four scores and run for 154 yards to go with it. RB LeSean McCoy has been the only thing keeping this team going. McCoy has 345 rushing yards and 49 more as a receiver, and he has five total touchdowns in just three games. This supposedly vaunted defense has allowed a stunning 131.3 yards per game on the ground, which has led to just the No. 25 ranked scoring defense at 25.7 points per game. If things don't improve in that department, there is a real chance that this team could go from a Super Bowl favorite to a dud that doesn't even get into the playoffs.
San Francisco 49ers @ Philadelphia Eagles Pick: The Eagles have their backs against the wall, and this is the spot for them to shine. Though we love the start to the season by the 49ers, we just aren't so sure that it is going to continue, especially a couple thousand miles away from home.

Active within 5 days
I am attractive, intelligent, sophisticated,...
I am attractive, intelligent, sophisticated, cultured, witty, sensitive and above all humble. Great aspirations, but if you take my word for them you are an idiot,….. and we may have some potential. What I can objectively claim is to be financially secure, ivy league educated, and, with the exception of thinning hair, in sound health. Not as exciting, but at least honest. I believe that while we admire perfection, we fall in love with the humanity of imperfection. That's my excuse anyway. What about you? Skip the self-applied adjectives. Think verbs. Be real. Do you greet each day as a challenge to get the most out of it? Would you rather have a mission than a job? Would you rather feel good about yourself than feel good? Do you sprint the last hundred yards up the mountain when you can finally see the top? ..... I do too. (most of the time) Do you get restless if you sit too long? Me too. While I don't run marathons, I do keep in shape. I was a gymnast in college which set a high bar and I hate to let go (no pun intended). I'm not addicted to any one sport, but I have to get out and do something active a couple of times a week or I go crazy. I understand if yoga speaks to you, but it doesn't do it for me. Do you like to travel but hate airports? Me too. (It's easier with company) I enjoy traveling and don't mind being a shameless tourist, but tend to focus on the obscure, the billabongs of Australia, the dungeons in London, the sewers under Paris. I hate packaged "experiences". I would rather get lost than be guided by a patronizing hand. Do you find yourself in awe of the classics in art, music and literature? I do too. It is probably an unfair comparison, since pop culture is who we really are, but I find the classics, filtered as they are, represent the best of what we have been....... I don't understand modern art. Do you have an exquisitely discerning palate? I don't. I enjoy fine food, but I'm no foodie, it's too complicated to understand. I can feed myself and will even do vegetables, but I'm no cook. ( I would be willing to learn if you are one) I don't understand fine wine. I've tried. I drink lite beer. I don't do sushi. Are you bored by people who seem to have all the answers? Me too. Do you wonder what's going on, how we got here and where we are going? I probably won't understand it when it happens, but I really hope we do get to a theory of everything. Are you anxious to find someone with whom you can be totally honest and share life's adventures?

When you walk around the concourses, press box and passage ways around Honda Center in Anaheim, it's hard not to come across framed photographs of the most important goaltender in Ducks history, 34-year-old Jean-Sebastien Giguere. Near the broadcasting area of the press box, there's a photo of him stone-faced, accepting the Conn Smythe Trophy as the playoff MVP shortly after Anaheim had lost Game 7 of the 2003 Stanley Cup Finals to New Jersey. Depicting more jubilant times, there are a good number of pictures of Giguere holding the Stanley Cup above his head, celebrating the Ducks' 2007 Stanley Cup triumph over Ottawa. On Saturday night, the mutual love between the fans, the organization and Giguere was flowing as he returned to Anaheim for the first time since being traded to Toronto on January 31, 2010 for Jason Blake and Vesa Toskala. Now in his first year with the Colorado Avalanche, Giguere continued his strong play by stopping 18 of 20 shots in leading the Avs to a 4-2 road...

Along with every thing that seems to be developing within this subject material, many of your opinions happen to be somewhat stimulating. Nonetheless, I appologize, but I do not give credence to your whole plan, all be it stimulating none the less. It would seem to everybody that your comments are not entirely rationalized and in reality you are generally your self not fully confident of the argument. In any event I did appreciate examining it.

This is the perfect choice for those looking for a bike tour of California's beautiful back roads at a leisurely pace. As you cycle through the countryside, your local, professional guide will tell you about the history of the area and take you to wineries for wine tastings.
- 5.5-hour fully guided bike tour of California Wine Country
- Enjoy a picnic lunch among the vineyards
- Choice of three Sip 'n' Cycle tour locations: Carneros, Calistoga or Healdsburg
- Easy, relaxing bike ride through the beautiful vineyards of Sonoma or Napa counties
- Stop at local wineries for wine tastings
- All necessary equipment included, including hybrid bike and helmet
Recent Photos of This Tour
What You Can Expect
The Carneros region in Napa Valley is known for its small-batch, family-owned wineries, which are comparable to that of Burgundy, France. You will begin in Carneros and visit one-two wineries along the mostly flat biking terrain. This leisurely route is made up of beautiful, lush vineyards, and nature welcomes you with open arms. Keep an eye out for the local wildlife while you enjoy a Wine Country picnic lunch at a magnificent winery with a lovely view. After your final wine tasting, you will bike back to Carneros.
Calistoga Sip 'n' Cycle Bike Tour
Take an off-the-beaten-path bike tour of the quaint resort town of Calistoga, located in upper Napa Valley. As you travel 10 to 17 miles (16 to 27 km) along country lanes, you'll take in the Palisades Mountains on one side and the grape vines on the other side. Enjoy tastings at approximately three wineries, along with your rest stop for a scenic picnic lunch. The winery that you will stop at for lunch contains an extensive collection of artwork and antiques, and you will admire the wares before hopping back on your bike and heading to your final wine tasting, then back to Calistoga.
Healdsburg Sip 'n' Cycle Bike Tour
This is your chance for a tour of Sonoma County, known for its white wine varietals and spicy reds. On this moderate bike tour, you will ride approximately 18-20 miles (29 to 32 km) in picturesque Dry Creek Valley, home to the town of Healdsburg. Many wineries and fun shops reside in Healdsburg, and you will have the opportunity to have a few wine tastings before your lunch stop at a charming winery. After lunch and maybe a game of bocce ball, you will be off to one-two more wineries, and then your trip will conclude in Healdsburg Plaza. Make a complete day of it and shop the boutiques, browse the antique stores and visit local art galleries, all within walking distance.
Customer Reviews

The tour was wonderful and our guide did a wonderful job. Great wineries, delicious lunch prepared by Dustin our guide. I would definitely do another tour w Dustin and recommend highly to others.
February 2015
Randy and Jen were great hosts! We toured 3 different wineries and enjoyed the perfect weather and awesome scenery. The lunch was above and beyond what we had expected - more than a typical sandwich and bag of chips! Would highly recommend this to anyone

Still, the Ram is headstrong, able to tune out the voices of his detractors.
He got into alpine racing, liked it, and early on developed his own headstrong approach to the sport.
Sometimes my mouth just starts going and I get so headstrong about what I want and I want to do.

From the moment they first set foot on Ohio State's football team, quarterback Kenny Guiton and receiver Chris Fields have been in the background. Fans and reporters brushed by them to get to the starters. Their names seldom were mentioned unless it was someone casting doubt whether they could even fill in if they were suddenly thrust into a game when it mattered. For years, Guiton and Fields had wondered when - or if - their moment would ever arrive. It did on a crisp Saturday last week. They made up for all the slights by hooking up on a dramatic, last-minute touchdown against Purdue that helped the ninth-ranked Buckeyes avoid their first loss.

cesarean sections are done with
epidural or
spinal anesthesia, used to numb sensation in the
abdominal area. Only in an emergency situation or when an epidural or spinal
anesthesia cannot be used or is a problem would fast-acting
general anesthesia be used to make you unconscious for
a cesarean birth.
The hospital may send you instructions on how to
get ready for your surgery, or a nurse may call you with instructions before
your surgery.
In preparation for a cesarean section, your arms are
secured to the table for your safety, and a curtain is hung across your chest.
A tiny
intravenous (IV) tube is placed in your arm or hand;
you may be given a
sedative through the IV to help you relax. A
catheter is inserted into your
bladder to allow you to pass urine during and after
the surgery. Your upper pubic area may be shaved, and the abdomen and pubic
area are washed with an antibacterial solution. The incision site may be
covered with an adhesive plastic sheet, or drape, to protect the surgical
Before, during, and after a cesarean section, your blood
pressure, heart rate, heart rhythm, and blood oxygen level are closely
monitored. You will also be given a dose of antibiotics to prevent infection
after delivery.
After the
anesthesia is working, a doctor makes the cesarean incision through your lower
abdomen and
uterus. See a picture of
cesarean section incisions. You may notice an intense feeling of pressure or
pulling as the baby is delivered. After delivering your newborn through the
incision, the doctor then removes the
placenta and then closes the uterus and the incision with
layers of stitches.
Right after surgery, you will be taken to a recovery
area where nurses will care for and observe you. You will stay in the recovery
area for 1 to 4 hours, and then you will be moved to a hospital room. In
addition to any special instructions from your doctor, your nurse will explain
information to help you in your recovery.
